ALARM FELT OVER SPECULIAR ALLIANCE
The Universal Negro improvement Association has been definitely lined with the Anglo-Saxonubs of America, an organization which Negroes regard as definitely inimical to their interests, according to statements made at a recent meeting Richmond by John Powell, leader of theubs.
Powell, said on his recent visit to Atlanta in a talk with Marcia Harvey, the latter assured him the fullest support of the UA, would be given the Anglo-Clubs in combating the effect of the National Association to the Advancement of Colorize an organization endeavor to improve the economic and opportunities of the race in

KANSAS COURT
UPHOLDS EXCLUSION
A decision that a restaurant keeper is not bound by the same requirements as the owners of inns, hotels and boarding houses, or places of entertainment or amusement, in statutes providing that no distinction be made on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, has been handed down by the Supreme Court of Kansas in the case of the State against Brown, which was the prosecution of a restaurant owner for refusing to serve a colored man.
STOPS PREACHER IN MIDST OF SERMON TO ARGUE "POINT"
Young Bible Student Interrupts Richmond Pastor To Call For An Explanation of His Statement On Bible.
ROBERT A. CRUMP
Richmond, Va.—Quite a singular thing occurred at the night services at Sharon Baptist church Sunday, last, when Rev. R. H. Johnson was interrupted in the midst of his sermon by a member of the congregation.
It is the usual custom of church goers to sit quietly and listen and accept the gospel, or, at least pretend to do so, while it is being delivered from the pulpit. Jacob Horn, a young Bible student-who is a member of Sharon church gave the pastor a "call down" before his congregation and endeavored to show him that he was preaching false doctrine. According to Mr. Horn's own statement he told the minister that he was preaching a lot of lies. Mr. Horn had listened carefully to the reading of the text and had followed the course of the sermon with grave intent. His sudden outburst, however, while the sermon was at its height rather confused the minister but he attempted to answer his questioner who had already pulled his Bible out of his pocket and began reading what he thought the preacher should have read and explained to his congregation. This, while adding more to the confusion, brought forth at the same time, many "Amens" from different parts of the church. The minister finally finished his discourse and after the service took the young man back into his study where he tried to thrash the subject out to the satisfaction of both.
There was a similar occurrence a few months ago when the rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church was interrupted in the middle of his sermon because he spoke in opposition to the Ku Klux Klan. The disturber in that instance was led to the door and was politely knocked down by a member of the congregation.
Mortgages Home For A "Gold Brick"
"A fool and his money are soon parted," is a saying as old as money itself and contains a germ of truth. This is not saying Mrs. Mary Teacher, of Goldsboro, N. C., was a fool, but she certainly is now a fooled woman, according to reports from that town.
This woman placed a $500 mortgage on her home and exchanged the money for a "gold brick." She has the mortgage and the brick and no easy way to rid herself of either. According to the report a smoothed tongue appealing 'gent' called by the home of Mrs. Teacher and talked so engagingly that she invited him not to hurry. He didn't, at that time at least, but evidently has hurried a good deal since. This stranger, who called himself George Williams, went out into Mrs. Teacher's field and dug up a "gold brick." It was worth $75,000, he told the woman. The brick had to be sold to get the $75,000, however, he explained and $500 was required to engage a near friend at Raleigh to do the selling. Mrs. Teacher, of course, was to come in on the bounty found on her property if she kept her mouth shut and would get the necessary $500.
The house was mortgaged to get the needed amount. A letter was duly mailed to Raleigh, because the woman saw that done. George Williams, the smoothongued stranger soon followed in the direction of his letter or some other direction not yet ascertained by the woman, or the police. No answer has yet come from Raleigh or George and Mary Teacher is a wiser woman.
TAKE SEVEN IN RAID ON GANG OF ALLEGED THIEVES
Leot Valued At $100,000 Said To Have Been Made Off By Group Of Burglars Operating In Atlantic City, N. J.
ACTIVITIES SAID TO COVER MONTHS
Three Norfolk men and a former Norfolk woman were arrested by detectives at Atlantic City, N. J., in their haul of an alleged gang of thieves Monday of last week. The gang was alleged to have made off with a loot valued at $100,000 in the last few months. The Norfolk men arrested were Ollie Washington, Ernest Crowell and Page Obey, according to reports from the seashore resort. Taken in custody with them were Andrew Terry, a reputed political leader, his wife, Barbara, charged with conducting a "fence" where the plunder was disposed, Mrs. Thelma Brown and Mrs. Katherine Eagle, Mrs. Barbara Terry is said to have been formerly of Norfolk, where she is known as Barbara Byrd. All of the group were held pending an investigation, except Ollie Washington, who has returned to this city.
carried on this evening.
Sweoping down on 202 North Carolina avenue, detectives arrested the gang when they seized a quantity of goods, including a beautiful diamond stick pin, said by the police to be worth $14,000. Other booty included a fur coat, and a trunk filled with watches and jewelry.
Police officers declare that this huge cache constituted only a part of the goods stolen in the past few months by a gang of burglars and search is being made for others who may have had a part in the robbery.
Following questioning by the detectives Ollie Washington, who explained that he had no connection with the robbery and was in Norfolk at the time it was alleged to have occurred, was released.
After Race Police In Texas City
The Inter-racial Committee of Houston, Tex., is bending its efforts toward securing from the city administration added civic recognition for the colored people in the form of five Negro policemen the establishment of a senior high school and two junior high schools for colored children. A meeting at which it was decided to ask for this recognition was recently held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms of that city and, it is reported, was attended by a representative group of white and colored leaders, mostly business and professional men.
Among the white men present were the former secretary and president of the school board and one of the city's civil service commissioners. The colored group was represented by a number of teachers, ministers and physicists. The fullest freedom of expression was encouraged and committees were appointed to take up with the city administration the matters agreed upon. Editor Love, of the Texas Freeman, a local colored paper, commenting on the meeting says: "The editor observed that the men constituting the committee were honest and sincere in their efforts to get together on a common level, to harmonize their differences, and to stamp out friction wherever and whenever it boils up."

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925
Misleading Letter Addressed To Prominent Group by Fanatics On The Question of Racial Integrity.
RACE WATCHES NEW ATTACK BY FANATICS
Negroes through out the country are watching with deep interest the attempt of leaders of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America with headquarters at Richmond, to force Hampton Institute into an unfavorable position and to turn public sentiment against the institution by open appeals to race prejudice. The principal, administrative officers and most of the instructors at Hampton are white. The school is privately endowed.
This latest assault on the institute, which is a continuation of the first, takes the form of letters addressed to prominent members of the Southern Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund Committee including the governors of Virginia and North Carolina by Dr. Lawrence T. Price, chairman of the legislative committee of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, requesting that they withdraw from the committee until Dr. James E. Gregg, president of the institution, publicly announces a policy of strict separation of the races at Hampton. This sinister move against Hampton Institute, which the colored people of Virginia in particular and of America in general find difficult to reconcile with the Anglo-Saxon Clubs' alleged policy of fostering "better race relations," at first came unmasked before the public in editorial utterances of the Newport News Daily Press when that newspaper bitterly assailed the institution.
When the attack was brought to the attention of Principal Gregg he wrote the Newport News editor a letter in which he denied that the institution encouraged the mingling of the races in a "romantic nature," and said the institute existed to help the colored people and
had tried to be fair to both its white friends and its Negro constituency. This letter drew from the editor a number of questions on how the race issue is handled at the institute and demands for an answer. Dr. Gregg, evidently not feeling inclined to encourage agitation of race issues, has withheld his answer to these questions.
An answer that will conform to the views of leaders of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs on the race issue is what John Powell is apparently endeavoring to force from Dr. Gregg through his method of spreading unfavorable propaganda among the members of the endowment committee of Hampton and Tuskegee. Mr. Powell goes so far as to pledge to Dr. Gregg, in case the Newport News editor's questions are "satisfactorily" answered, "the sympathy and support of those Southerners who have a ready proved their friendiness toward Negro education and towards Hampton Institute." But Mr. Powell goes even farther than that and makes his remarks amusing when he says, "I can also assure you of cordial support of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." Marec Garvey is the leader of that movement and is serving a five-year sentence in Atlanta Federal penitentiary.
Powell states that both Governor Trinkle of Virginia and Ex-Governor Richard I. Manning of South Carolina have indicated they will take action in regard to the matter.
EGYPTS HISTORY
14,000 YEARS OLD
A continuous view of successive civilization in Egypt, carried back some 14,000 years, is provided as a result of the discoveries of the British School of Archaeology in Egypt, says Prof. Flinders Petrie, a writer in the London Times. During the last winter, he says, the work of the school was devoted to evacuating the remains of the earliest civilization, known as the Sadarian civilization, so-called from the name of the district which is south of Asyut.

Mrs. R. J. Salisbury, of this city, who was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Woman's Auxiliary of the National Alliance of Postal Employees at the biennial session of that body in Washington, D. C., July 8-11.

Delegates Representing Every Section Of Country Were In Attendance; Asst. Postmaster General Praises Men
The National Alliance of Postal Employees closed one of the most eventful sessions within the history of the organization in Washington Saturday which began Tuesday, July 7, according to reports from the Capital. Delegates representing every section of the country were in attendance. R. A. Willohot, of St. Louis, Mo., was elected president; S. M. Jackson, of Washington, secretary, and Memphis, Tenn., was chosen as the place of meeting for the 1927 convention.
The Woman's Auxiliary of the National Alliance held its session simultaneously with that of the men's body.
the principal speakers for the occasion were Postmaster General New; First Assistant Postmaster General J. H. Bartlett, Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson, General Superintendent of Railway Mail Service Riddell, Perry Howard, of the Department of Justice, John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk-at-large, John Risher and Henry Lincoln Johnson. First Assistant Postmaster General J. H. Bartlett was received with enthusiasm when introduced at the convention. He invited the colored clerks, carriers and railway mail service men to examine the bright side of their employment and to think with optimism of the future.
Eight Per Cent Colored
Eight Per Cent Colored
Mr. Bartlett stated that colored men comprise about 8 per cent of the total of postal employees. There are, he said, 22,000 colored postal employees out of a total of 300,000 none of whom received in salary less than 1,700. Responding to questions, he suggested that the clerk's pension should be $1,200 rather than $720. He also outlined the policy of the departments to give employees as much time off Saturday afternoons as the work would permit.
Kindness Bringing About Better Feeling
Referring especially to matters of discrimination affecting colored men in the service, he said:
"I do not find a general belittling of the colored race in this country any more. You have your traditional troubles, but huw man kindness is fast driving out of the minds of people the distinction of color and race. Each day we see some fellow, of whatever race, who commands the respect of the world.
"You have wonderfully preferred positions. But you have, best of all, the pride of knowing that you are working for the best government in the world. You are more than employees. Every one who is a part of the government of the United States is an officer of the country. You should take pride in being trusted by the government as an officer.

FINANCE CONCERN NOW HAS $150,000 STOCK SUBSCRIBED
Opens For Business With 550,000 Already Paid In. Will Make Loans To Approved Going Concerns.
MORE CAPITAL ASSURED AS BUSINESS EXPANDS
The National Negro Finance Corporation with headquarters at Durham, N. C., is ready for business, according to an announcement made from that city by its secretary-manager W. Gomez last Tuesday.
Mr. Gomez stated that $150,000 of the capital stock has been subscribed and $50,000 paid in, it was therefore decided because of the fertile field which awaits the new concern to put the capital thus far paid in to work at once. The officers and stockholders express confidence that ample funds will be available as the corporation expands.
Organized Two Years Ago
The National Negro Finance Corporation which was organized about two years ago represents a concerted attempt of business and professional men of the race to amass in a gigantic pool available capital of the colored people of America to provide working capital; to seek new opportunities for profitable efforts; to create and develop a market for listing Negro securities; to create a nation-wide spirit of cooperation, and to foster and advance the financial and commercial development of Negroes. It is the outgrowth of an idea put forth by Dr. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, president of the National Negro Business League, at the 1922 annual meeting of the league in Norfolk. Realizing the wonderful possibilities such a project, well organized and conservatively managed held for race development a number of prominent Negro business men immediately gave their approval to the movement and lined themselves up in support of it. A year or later the organization was formed at Durham with Dr. Moton as its president, C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, chairman of the executive board and W. Gomez, secretary-manager. In other official capacities and in large the board of directors are a large number of the most successful and substantial Negro business and professional men in the world.
Stock Sales A Success
Ever since the organization was formed the stock selling campaign has met with steady success, which indicates, it is generally conceded, the national confidence its personnel has on the public, and points to the fact that the race thoroughly appreciates that the concern holds the possibilities of providing unprecedented for development of Negro people of America.
Acknowledgement Receipt
Of $7.00 Donation
The Journal and Guide has received acknowledgement from the Colored United Charities for $7.00 turned over to that organization, the amount being a contribution from St. John's A. M. E. Church to the Walter Blow Fund, but was received after this fund had been closed.
Gne-Third Of Bond Issue For Colored Schools
Colored citizens of Union City, Tenn., will benefit directly to the extent of $35,000 from the $90,000 bond issue. just authorized. Obion county has decided to set aside that amount for colored school buildings and equipment. During the following 12 months the school authorities plan to erect nine Rosenwald schools. This movement is being promoted by the Interracial Committee, of which the county superintendent of education is chairman.
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR
"A good local paper makes a good local community," says the Spokane Spokesman-Review. "The well-edited paper is a distinct advantage to its community and serves a need that will always exist. It prints the current news of the community, and, with a capable editor, it becomes a real factor in the upbuilding of the community. It can and does accomplish much for the commonwealth. It reflects the character of the community itself. It aids materially in the direction and assistance of all community development, both industrial and educational. It could not survive one year if no need existed or it failed to fill the wants."
DEMAND TO SEE GIRL, MET WITH LOAD OF SHOT
DEMAND TO SEE GIRL, MET WITH LOAD OF SHOT
Young Men Learn To Their Regret: That It Is Decidedly Unsafe To Attempt Caveman Stuff On A Father.
Two young men of Statesville, N. C. have learned to their serious regrets that it is not only contrary to all accepted proprieties of courtship but decidedly unsafe to go to the home of a girl and threateningly demand of her father the privilege of seeing her. A little lesson in the proper approach to both the father and daughter cost Arthur Bunch, of Blacksville, S. C., and John Sipes a trip to jail and the hospital one night last week when they in company with two other night adventurers, Raymond Fox and John Fox, went to the home of Dillard Javis at 10:35 o'clock and demanded with threats to see his daughter.
Bunch is in the hospital in a serious condition having had his demands answered with a full load of shot in the face, head, neck and breast, fired at close range. Sipes lies wounded in jail. Raymond Fox gave bond of $500 for his appearance in Recorder's Court and John Fox, the only unmarried man in the party, escaped to parts unknown. Mr. Javis lives five miles north of Statesville and the Wilkesboro highway.
WOMAN FRATERNAL LEADER IS DEAD
Mrs. Agnes Rogers Allen Succumbs To Paralytic Stroke After Suffering For A Month.
One of the most prominently known fraternal women of the city was removed in the death of Mrs. Agnes Rogers Allen which occurred at her home, 549 East Brambleton avenue Friday, July 10, following a stroke of paralysis from which she had been a sufferer since June 12, last. Mrs. Allen was the wife of Daniel Allen with whom she lived at her home address. She also enjoyed a large, acquaintance outside of her fraternal connections and was a most respected character.
Her funeral was held at Bank Street Baptist Church, of which she was a member, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. C. M. Long, her pastor, officiating.
Mrs. Allen was a member of the Past Daughter Rulers' Council, I. B. P. O. E. W., the Progressive Aid Society No. 18, Eastern Star, Arabia Courts, Princess of Absinia and the Beaugrens. She was an active church worker and served faithfully every order of which she was a member. She died at 40 years of age and was a native of Norfolk. Interment was in Calvary cemetery.
"Original" Sermons For Sale
A certain concern in Chicago now offers "original live up-to-date sermons, neatly typewritten, ready to take into the pulpit, for just a few cents in addition to the cost of typewriting and postage." A fine sermon just prepared might have been procured recently for only $2 and it was guaranteed to "create a sensation in any congregation." "Special prices for standing orders of one to five sermons a month."
Why should ministers worry?

SAYS RACE SUFFERS FROM SHORTAGE OF DECENT HOMESITES
Federal Council Of Churches Finds That Negroes Do Not Invade White Neighborhood For Social Equality.
DESIRE TO ELEVATE
LIVING STATUS, MOTIVE
"Negro Americans have even more difficulty than other residents in finding suitable places in which to live because prejudice against them operates regardless of culture or financial standing" says the introduction to the report on housing by the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches.
Negro families are attempting to move from alleys and congested districts in nearly every part of the country. In some cities where they have moved into neighborhoods tenanted by white residents their new homes have been set on fire in others they have been bombed, declares the report. One of the most surprising incidents in which intimidation was used to force colored people to vacate, the report finds, was that of a white congregation singing, "Onward Christian Soldiers" marching to the home of a highly-educated Negro who was engaged in important educational work. The leader handed the owner of the home a written demand that he leave the neighborhood and waited for his reply. The owner said he would remain where he was. The crowd left, but special police protection was needed for some time before the family felt safe in their home.
Suffer From Shortage
Explaining why Negroes continue the invasion of the theretofore white districts the report declares it is not because Negroes wish merely to move into white neighborhoods and to have white neighbors, but because they have suffered even more from housing shortage than white persons and are seeking to improve their health and living conditions by leaving the alleys and undesirable districts to which they have generally been expected to confine themselves. The report continues:
"Under ordinary conditions other racial and national groups can usually secure housing accommodations in almost any residential area if they can pay for them and maintain the neighborhood standards in other resents.
"It has frequently happened, however, that Negro residents have not been permitted to remain unmolested in their own homes even though they kept their property in superior condition and otherwise conducted themselves with entire propriety. Hoodlums have been permitted to break windows and to destroy flowers and shrubbery. Houses have been bombed. Concerted action on the part of supposedly respectable citizens in the way of anonymous warnings of calamities unless the property was vacated, actual physical attacks on members of the family, and destruction of property by fire or other means, threatened or carried out, are measures that have been used to force colored people from homes in neighborhoods where living conditions are desirable.
Legal Measures Resorted 10
"Court action has been resorted to. Decision by the United States Supreme Court has made impossible restriction by ordinance of the residence privilege of any part of the population, but groups of property holders have entered into voluntary agreement to exclude Negro residents from property owned or controlled by them, and have brought pressure to bear on neighbors to force them to join in so excluding Negroes. A suit to make impossible this method of abrogating the constitutional right of citizens is now pending before the Supreme Court of the United States.
"Frequently the only houses available for colored tenants have been in districts infested with vice or other low moral standards, in spite of the desire of the colored people to provide decent surroundings for their children. Almost always the areas to which they are expected to confine their residence are those least adequately provided with street paving, sewerage and Continued on page Three.

The Children of Israel is one of the most unique fraternal organizations in existence. Its headquarters is in this city, where it had its hib and the organization is being Sat present by the founder the Miller. He too, is a very unique character. His act in establishing the lodge was an initiation from God, says he. The惟烈 success the order has hoped under his leadership has him Divine guidance, Fathen declares. He is a minister every devout.
one of the unique features about
the Children of Israel is that it has
closed its doors against an
enlarged. Age or infirmities have
no bar to those desiring to
be. The monthly dues have been
nominal, a fact which has
added all who desired to do so
to the ranks. And the ranks
are grown marvelously, reaching
into the several states included
New York. The following is
fulful and exceedingly loyal.
Mother Miller occupies a substan-
tion on Golf street, this city,

Mother Miller by their loyal
flowers. In his declining years

The work of the lodge has been recalculable benefit. It has succeeded the poor, needy, sick, helpers and tenderly buried the dead, is a fact that the Children of Israel have taken in their lodge and extended benefits to persons whose physical condition would be absolutely barred them from opportunities of other fraternal organizations.

BILLIANT WEDDING AT DURHAM, N. C.
Ms Amey Parham Becomes
The Bride of Mr. Merritt
Holloway, Well Known Nor-
folk Man.
Durham, N. C.-The residence
Mr. and Mrs. T. David Parham,
this city last week was the place
the scene of one of the most
nautiful marriages that has come

can remember. When Mr.
and Mrs. Parham gave their
nighter, Miss Amey, in marriage
Mr. Merritt Holloway, a busi-
ness man of Norfolk, Va.
those who know Miss Parham,
Mrs. Holloway, know her as
of the race's finest young ladies
with a host of friends and admir-
ing among all the people who
know her, both old and young,
men and men. And the fact
that she was apparently happy in
event of her marriage caused
joy to spread to all her friends.
the crowd that witnessed the eest
was immensely large—there
was no room for them within the
adrious residence of her brother's
and the porch was crowded to its
capacity with anxious and equally
appy guests who came to see
Miss Parham" for the last time.
Within twenty minutes from the
home the home was crowded, Dr.
M.G. Avant, her pastor, had leg-
changed the name of this
should young lady to that worn
title "beloved."
A. B.
as to the general appearance and dress there was no end. A friend of this reporter gave the following account of the affair: That the little flower girls were little Misses Catherine Nurse and Edith Amy the flower girls were; little Misses Parham dressed in white organdy. The groomsmen were Messrs. Royster, Monroe and Malone, wearing full dress suits. The bride's malds were Miss Lucile Baker, wearing blue satin crepe trimmed in wreaths of pink roses; Mrs. E. S. Parkman, wearing pink silk crepe and Miss Sadie Hawkins, wearing yellow georgette beautifully lace trimmed. The matron of honor was Mrs. S. Holloway, who wore pale green georgette over pink flesh. Maid of honor, Miss Mattie Woodward, was beautifully gowned in orchid Crepe de Chine with silver lace trimming, silver slippers, orchid veil trimmed in orange blossoms.
The bride wore white dove skin satin with lace trimming, silk lace veil trimmed in roses. She looked exquisitely beautiful.
The bridesmaids carried a bouquet of sweet peas and ferns; tied with tulle to match their dresses and the bride carried a corsage of bridal roses and ferns.
Miss Annie Woodward sang, "Oh Promise Me," and wore white satin crepe. None has ever sung this selection more beautifully than she sang it.
Miss Minnie Whitted presided at the piano and wore old rose crepe and she was at her best as she accompanied Miss Woodward with "Oh Promis Me," as well as the wedding march. A canopy of rainbow colors decorated with palms and ferns overshadowed them.
Master T. David Parham jr., bore the ring and Master Ward S. Parham carried the train.
Rev. Avant performed the ceremony in a very impressive manner. Baby Ella Luelle Parham was baptized by Grandfather M. J. Seabrook immediately following the marriage ceremonies.
Out-of-town guests attending the marriage were: Rev. and Mrs. T. G. Hadden, Raleigh, N. C.; Miss Jackson, Rev. and Mrs. M. J. Seabrook, and son, Prof. J. W. Seabrook, of Fayetteville, N. C. The reception and shower was given June 22, at Mrs. Austin's home on Payetteville street.
Durham has not witnessed a more beautiful wedding and we wish for this couple a long and most happy life of service to mankind. Miss Parham has been a teacher in the schools of Durham county since coming to this city some few years ago, first as a member of a faculty then as principal of a faculty. Last year she was principal of one of our best schools just outside of the present limits of our city.

garbage disposal and other sanitary pervisions, and fire and police protection.
Legislatures Inadequate
"In many cases no adequate housing legislation has been enacted. In other cases existing legislation does not afford colored tenants the protection it gives to others because it is not enforced for their benefit. Efficient enforcement requires an adequate staff for inspection. Inefficient enforcement is sometimes due to lack of and sometimes to unequal distribution of inspection service, and sometimes to failure to enforce the regulations for other reasons.
"In addition to difficulties due to prejudice, the economic limitations of the colored citizens still further restrict their choice of dwellings. As a result of these conditions, at a time when there is a shortage of houses the situation of the Negro population, especially in the cities, is most acute.
"Negroes have repeatedly explained that the efforts of colored families to move into 'white neighborhoods' are not due to the fact that they wish to associate with the white people as such, but rather to the fact that usually the only decent housing conditions are in such neighborhoods." Attempts of various kinds have been made by individuals and organizations to meet the different situations and to provide adequate housing for the colored people. Important illustrations of some of these efforts are described in the report to answer the questions of those who want to know what has been done, how it has been done, by whom, and what the result has been.
In order to increase their knowledge of cathquakes, some of the world's greatest scientists have experimented with artificial explosions in mines, and they hope that in time they will be able to warn the inhabitants of volcanic districts when disturbances are likely to occur.

be wiped off the statute books. Senator Walker is the father of the boxing law, as aforesaid and is a staunch supporter of the sport, believing in a square deal to everybody who participates in the game, regardless of color. Senator Walker said that he would not lend his name to the present boxing measure for one moment, if there were any distinction as to race, creed or color. It seems that the Senator has been ired about the things that have been said in connection with the muddled boxing situation. It is believed that all of the ballyhooing is only the silly reformers who have little else to do. According to the news, Senator Jimmy Walker is quoted as having said:
"Why not a Dempsey and Wills match? If I thought that there were any racial distinction or prejudices cutting in on the boxing game I would ask that the bill be passed. I have been my stand ever since the inception of the law that bears my name.
"I don't think that any law, enacted by the sovereign power of the state—the legislature—can be repealed by the mere prejudices of any fanatics or professional reformers. The vast majority of the people of this State are manifestly for fair play and have no sympathy for the charlatan who makes a living for being against something.
"I don't know what the boxing commission is going to do about Dempsey and his challengers, but I do know that the commission is made up of as fine a set of men as could be found in the State. They have administered the law to the satisfaction of every one. Messrs. Farley, Brower, Muldoon and others that make up the board were picked by Gov. McCormack was happy to recommend them be, I were men of intelligence and courage. They are left entirely free, without suggestion from any source that I know of. That is the only way to keep boxing on the high plane it enjoys today.
"I personally believe that Kearns and Dempsey ought to fish or cut bait. In other words, Dempsey ought to fight or retire. I have a high personal regard for Dempsey, but I have a higher regard for the boxing fans who support the game. They are entitled to know whether or not we have an active champion of the world.
"There has never been any political opposition to a match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills that I know of and I would have heard something about it. It is mere projection on the part of some folks who think that principal leaders are afraid of a match because one of the principals happens to be a colored man. I wouldn't hesitate to expose such a situation if it prevailed."
Senator Walker is rather firm in his stand and convictions. If there were occasion for trouble in case Wills and Dempsey battled he is, most assuredly one of the persons to know it. It seems that some body such as the little little such between a colored and white man, especially Wills and Dempsey, for fear that the title might change hands.

Auto Race Fans Looking Toward Indianapolis, Ind.
[Provision News Service.]
Indianapolis,印洛, July 15—Auto racing fans the country over have turned their eyes towards the big Capitol. "Speed" of America as they make their plans to meet old friends and renew acquaintances at the running of the second annual re-newal of the Gold and Glory Sweepstakes, America's premier 100 mile dirt track championship auto racing classic, to be held here Saturday, August 8th, in which all competing drivers are members of the group. The smaller races staged throughout the country this spring and summer have merely served to whet the appetites of the dyed-in-wool fans for the real display of speed thrills that are out of reach of those who have dwells of the group face the starter's flag at the State Fair Grounds here, with the roar of thousands of speed crazed rining in their ears.
Fraternal Visitors To Witness Event
The big race this year was moved back a week by the management in order that the hundreds of delegates and visiting friends of the A. U. X. and D. A. one of the largest universities in America, may have the opportunity to witness the running of the big event.
Inquiries Pouring In

They further base their faith in the permanence of the race as an annual institution on the great amount of activity among auto builders and drivers throughout the Middle West. Ready a local young man of the group has completed and is in readiness to try out his car, built especially for this race, while another resident of the eastern section of the city will be ready for the first tryout in a few days.
Thompson Beats Champ Holmes
Finalists in Last National Tournament Again Battle In Finals of Washington District Championships.
Washington, D. C.—Youth was served here in the recent Washington district championships held on the Walker Tennis Club courts. The youthful college star and second ranking player, finalist in the last national tournament and member of the national doubles championship team, Ted Thompson, conquered the present champ, Tally Holmes, in a fast four set match, 5-7, 6-4, 8-6, 6-2. The victory makes Thompson champion of the Washington district.
Holmes had just defeated Allan Waddle,ridge ranking player in the present-finals, and the strenuousness of the game had its effect upon him, Ted winning three straight sets after dropping the first, set 5-7.
Bordentown Stars Here
Several tennis stars of Bordentown, N. J., headed by Lester Granger, came to Washington, Sunday, July 12, to play a special engagement with the stars of the Walker Tennis Club.

BERKLTY ELKS WIN AGAIN
The latest team to fail before the slugging Berkley Elks was the Lambert's Point Slides. They were beaten Monday at the Norfolk and Western R. R. Park in Lambert's Point by a score of 6 to 2. A large crowd of fans witnessed the affair. Palmer was in tip top shape, and his mound duty for the Elks was very acceptable. His ability kept the hits well scattered for Lambert's Point Slides. The game was called in the eighth on account of darkness.

Experts Declare That He is Best Negro Pitcher That Ever Toed The Mound And One of Best of Any Group.
Scoring 35 strikeouts in a single afternoon is just one of the feats credited to "Smoky" Joe Williams, regular member of the famous Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh. Besides this Williams' blinding speed and his general effectiveness have earned for him recognition as one of the greatest, if not the greatest pitcher to toe the rubber on a baseball diamond.
In that afternoon when "Smoky" Joe Williams scored 15 strikeouts he started the first game, winning by a comfortable margin and registering 18 strikeouts. Then he was called upon as a player the second of the next game he shifted 17 more for his grand total of 35. These and other facts are called from Williams later history on the diamond, according to a writer in the Pittsburgh American, who gives his early history as well. Some thirty years ago Williams began his baseball career—33 summers to be exact—as a member of a sandlot team of San Antonio, at that, called the Bronchos. At that time the young armed holding down the first base position, but a dangerous "hole" necessitated his being called into the box. The bases were loaded and none was out. Williams whiffed the three men who next faced him to retire the side, saying the game, for he pitched airtight ball the next several innings while his teammates added to their score.

Some thirty years ago Wilmins began his baseball career—33 summers to be extinct—as a member of a sandlot team of San Antonio, Texas, called the Browns. At that time, one of the strong-armed players, holding down the first base position, but a dangerous "hole" necessitated his being called into the box. The bases were loaded and none was out. Williams whiffed the three men who next faced him to retire the side, saving the game, for he pitched airtight ball the next several innings while his teammates added to their score.
Robert Frazer and Wallace MacDonald head the supporting cast in the production. MacDonald, recently seen with Betty Compson in New Lives For Old has the role of a multi-millionaire philander, who becomes infatuated with Mrs. Nerri, as the dancing girl. Mariopon, Frazer as McDonald's chauffer, also is attracted to Pola. All through the picture these two vie with each other for her affections.
Other big names on the cast include Trixie Frigenza, noted stage connieceine, who plays Mariopon's mother in the picture and fun-
Attracts Rube Foster
This began Williams career as a pitcher. He devoted his time here after to mound work and in a few years attracted the mig magnates' attention. In 1907, Rube Foster journeyed to Texas to bring the Bronco Cubs back to pitch against the Chicago Cubs in a series of post-season games, but failed to induce him from his native death.

In 1907, Rube Foster journeyed to Texas to bring the Bronco sensation back to against the Chicago Cubs in a post-season games, but failed to induce him from his native heath.

Hurls No-Hit Game
"Smoky" Joe's debut in Eastern circles was one of the most signal on record. Facing the trunsides of Newark, N. J., one of the foremost semi-pro teams in the East (white) Williams, turned in a no-hit, no-run game. Pitching regularly that same season (1912) he further added to this brilliant beginning by winning 33 out of 38 games pitched. What pitcher, white or black, can boast of such a record?

Shutout Philadelphia
In 1914, pitted against the Philadelphia Nationals with Chalmers doing their pitching, Williams shut out the Philadelphia team 1 to 0 in a hectic pitching duel. This game with the bases loaded, Williams mowed down Bancroft and Paschert on strikes among nine other pitchers.

Williams greatest feat, perhaps, was achieved last season, after 25 years or more pitching service. Against the famed Baskwell Aggregation, composed of ex-major leaguers and minor league players, Joe fanned 25 men out of 276 fc

Pola Has A Fine Cast In 'Charmer'
Robert Frazer, Wallace MacDonald play in Support.
Pola Negris latest Paramount picture, The Charmer, which brings the star to the screen in her first big comedy role in a picture laid in an American setting, opens a two day run on Monday at the Walt Disney Theatre.
The Charmer, adapted for the screen by Sada Cowan from Henry Bauren's highly successful novel, Mariposa, was directed by Sienna Olett, who made The Humming Bird, Little Old New York, and others. The story has to do with a Spanish dancing girl, who is taken under the wing of a prominent theatrical producer and becomes the rage of Broadway.
Robert Frazer and Wallace MacDonald head the supporting cast in the production. MacDonald, recently seen with Betty Compson in New Lives For Old, has the role of a multi-millionaire philanthroper, who becomes infatuated with Miss Negri, as the dancing girl, soa. Frazer as MeDaddy's chauffer, also is an animated to Pola. All through the two vie with another for her affections.
Old is the big names on the cast: Triscie Friaranza, noted stage comedienne, who alays Marisana's
mother in the picture and furnishes much of the comedy relief; Cosare Gravina, Gertrude Aster, in the role of a married woman in love with McDonald; Edward Davis, who played in "Contraband" and others, and Mathilda Brunidge McDonald's mother and Manhattan's leading snob in The Charmer. The Charmer brings Pete Negri to the stage, and the show that first won her fame. It's a great story with a great cast and should move great entertainment.
Bebe Starred In 'Crowded Hour
New Paramount Picture to be Shown at the Attucks.
Debe Daniels comes to the Attucks. Theatre on next Wednesday and Thursday in her latest staring picture for Paramount, The Crowded Heur, a picture version of the Selvyn-Pollack stage hit, written for the screen by Jno. Russell and directed by E. Mason Hopper, who made Janice Meredith.
Miss Daniels has the role of Peggy Laurence, a telephone operator who assigns to a career as an address. T. Roy Barnes, her pal, also has a yen to act, and they try out their talents on New York's
Bowery crowd.
Kenneth Harlan, a rich young
fellow from upper Park Ave, falls
for pretty Peggy. He has a wife
played by Helen Lee Worthing,
former "Follies" beautician.
But their married life is not congenial.
Even Frank Morgan, as a friend
of the family, cannot get things
strengthened on her.
Harlan gets Bebe a job in the
"Follies" with Barness as a foil.
Then the war comes, and Bebe and
Barness go to France as "Y" entertainer.
Bebe's real purpose,
however, is to be near Harlan,
who has cultured. She entertains
the soldiers in the front line
trenches, goes through a gas attack and makes a wild ride on a motorcycle in an effort to save Harlan, who has gone to destroy
hine in nine innings for a semi-rec
record. Williams' second no-hit
game was pitched against the
Brooklyn Royals, under the regime
of John Henry Lloyd. During that
contest Williams sent 14 men back
to the dugout and only one man
reached first base.

Plans for the Sunday School parade; report on progress of Sunday School contest; plans for bi-monthly meeting and such other business that may come before the body will be enacted.

This season finds a large percentage of most loyal members in every school seeking this country's playgrounds, thereby leaving a slump and a low spirit to be carried by a few. Through this contest the general average and spirit has been maintained.
Bethany Presbyterian school is inhaling the spirit of the contest. It seemed that Bethany was asleep. This week Bethany arose took in plenty of fresh air and reported 15 cents per capita with 54 per cent of attendance. This is a record for Bethany.

Church and Pastor Change Denominational Affiliations. Zion Acquires Splendid Addition In This New Building Tuesday, June 30, Garrett's C. M. E. Temple formally became Garrett's A. M. E. Zion Temple, having passed through a change of denominational affiliations. With to ironing out of a few legal phases in connection with the transfer which will be accomplished soon, this fine church edifice becomes the property of the Zion denomination which is steadily increasing its holdings, extending its denominational lines and project its evangelization program into every section of the country.
The acquisition of Garrett's Temple is regarded as a very substantial addition for Zion. This is a splendid church building and is practically new and occupying a valuable site. It was founded and built in 1920 by its present pastor, Dr. R. K. D. Garrett, who, too, becomes an A. M. E. Zion minister. The edifice and grounds represented a total cost of $55,000 when built, and has a membership of 250.
Dr. Garrett and his congregation have been vital factors in the religious life of this city. The church enjoys prominence and the pastor a wide acquaintance of friends and admirers. His fiery and profound sermons have been heard by thousands of people of Norfolk and adjacent communities. Garrett's Temple is now in the District over which Bishop G. L.

idea of so-called “social equality.
Editorially, the Public Journa
questions the policy of Ben Davi
and refers to the recent demand
Charles Edward Russell for al
solute social equality. It says:
“We have often wondered
why some of our newspaper
and magazine editors invaria-
bly pass unnoticed the old-
time preachments of Ben Dav-
is, editor of the Atlanta Inde-
pendent. We ‘have come to
the conclusion’ that they have
been satisfied with the clean
cut dressing down adminis-
tered to this old man by Joe
Bibb, editor of the Chicago
Whip, some months ago and s0
they have doubtless decided to
leave ole Ben alone in com-
miseration of his senile but
crafty decrepitude.
“He says ‘we believe thor-
oughly in the Southern idea of
every race staying in its place
socially.”
“The white people among
whom old Ben lives have: sue-
ceeded in convincing this old
war relie that his race has its
place atid an inferior one at
that. Where did old Hen learn
that all races have a certain
and fixed place in the human
seale. 0

Perhaps the most critical edi
torial was published in Uhe Chica

Davis, editor of the Auanta

He further admonishes and ad-
Visex his veaders to. pay one
dollar for fifty-cent pieces that
have been issued by Congress
to aid in perpetuating the
memories of Jeff Davis, Stone-
wall Juckson ‘and Robert E.

sion of those who fought. to

Jong as Stone Mountain itself

“It is hard to conceive of a
black man of the South ac-
quainted with its iniquities and
accustomed to its burbarities,
having the temerity to so in
sult a whole race of people.
It is hard to conecive a black
man whose pride is so infini-
tesimal, his patriotism so per-
verted ‘and his ideals so de-
praved that he ean grovel, lick
Spittle and then look into the
face of his fellow men. Such
a man as Benjamin Davis is
a disgrace to his race and a
traitor to his own cause. ‘This
crawling editor would justify
his damnable position by stut-
ing that the ‘South did not
fight to keep us in slavery, but
vather to test the right of
state to secede.’ Davis is
either a fool or a liar, and we
believe him to be both.”

Mayor Hylan has made. himsel?
personally popular by mixing in
personally with racial Harlem on

Al Smith has handled the State,
and is, equally popolar with the
race. It has not been’ determined
how this division ill be made in
“following the leader.”
“On the Other Hand, the

On the other hand, the Republi-
ean party has played more with

stockings know very little about
the masses of Harlem. True, he
backed Charles W. Anderson,’ for

that is individual, He did not go

he is prnetically a stranger in ‘Har-

But, the Republican party, head-
ed by President Coolidge and Sen-
ator Butler, of Massachusetts,
needs Wadsworth in the Senate.
All the influence of the adminis-

Tells Of Special
Ways Of Cleaning
Precious Stones
| Years ago it was commouly sup-
|posed that all one needed to: do
{to clean jewelry and add lustre to
precious stones was to bathe them
jin honey. Today each gem has a
speci: method of cleaning und
jauding lustre, writes a jeweler in
ithe Boston Christian Science Bfon-
itor:
| Diamonds which are dirty or
|faued are washed in warm soapy
|water for a minute, After drying
lon clean soft flannel they "ate
[rubbed with ood eau-de-Cologne
|and wiped thoroughly.
|" Turquoises are never washed in
i water; they are rubbed for a min-
[ute oF two with a soft rag_to
which methylated ‘spirit hag been
lapplied, ‘This stone often changes
jeolor. If one of them turns from
[a beautifal blue to sea-green, the
method is to skin’ and repolish it.
[Water is seldom uyed for clean
ing pearls. If methylated spitit
[isnot at hand, they are gently
‘rubbed with a little whiting on a
jeamel’s hair brush and polished
finally with « chamois leather.
[The act that opais will crack
Iwhen in contact with too much
sheat calls for the utmost eare in
cleaning them. ‘There are several
‘preparations ‘specially made for
‘cleansing these gems, and the work
‘can seldom be undertaken at home
with any degree of safety.
| Jet is cleaned by using the mer~

E. W. D. Gresham, State Supervisor of Negro Education Says Present State School Is Overcrowded.
Virginia needs another Normal school for the training of Colored girls, the present State Normal school is much overcrowded, thinks William D. Gresham, State supervisor of Negro schools, who is asked as having made this asia-in a recent address in Ogallah Hampton Institute. Dr. Gresham said the colored people paid off the debt on Manusah State, and it is hoped that State will take over the institution and make it a State Normal School to help train some of 300 colored teachers who are for Virginia schools. At present there are 31 county trainings for Negroes in Virginia 300 colored supervising teach-
Virginia Behind Maryland
Bryan is quite a deal behind in recognizing the potential of rural schools. In this State school terms are never as city school terms and the leaders of rural schools generalize far less than the salary of their co-workers in the urban fields. This is not the ease in Mary according to Mr. J. Walter Johnson. State supervisor of schools of that State, who arrived an address before the master session of teachers at the Boston Institute at the time Dr. Johnson outlined Virginia's needs and recognizes the potency of the rural schools. Buflington says, and pays teachers the same salary as老师们 who hold a certain length of the school term the same for rural and city schools.
There is nothing in the way of early education in the South to expect money, declared Dr. W. R. Williams, of Tuskegee Institute, secretary of the Jeanes Stater Boards and he believes proper way to get the money to make the Negro schools just alive as they can be is to think they will be thinks, and remind years that there is a challenge to do their best.

Peanut Crop Has Bright Prospects
Richmond, Va., July 15. - T he Virginia peanut crop has better prospects than for several years, according to the Virginia Crop Repair Service. The average has been increased, and the fields are annually well worked and are generally free from grass. The stand, however, is only 85 to 90 per cent perfect because of an favorable weather at planting.
The peanut acreage is estimated to be 135,000 acres which is an increase of 18 per cent above the area harvested in 1924. The reason given for the larger acreage this year are favorable prices for last year's crop, excellent weather last spring for plowing, and decrease in cotton. Last year many fields were never-planted. Bears of wet weather, so the hainu nuts were less than usual. The span type of peanut is reported to be slightly less than last year, and the counties of Dinwiddie Greenville, and Prince George, which produce the greater part of this variety, have either reduced the total acreage or planted more of Virginia types.
The condition of peanuts on July 1 was 85 per cent of normal, compared with 71 per cent last year. This condition indicates a production of 109,012,000 pounds, compared with 74,100,000 pounds produced last year. The season has been favorable for the growth of this crop, as rains have generally come when needed but not too frequently to interfere with cultivation.

FARMERS TOLD TO OWN LAND AND ROTATE THEIR CROPS
Garden Cultivation, Home Industries Ad Improvement of Rural Life Objects Outlined For Better Farming.
When the agricultural workers representing some 22,000 Negro farm families in Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland met in the annual Hampton Institute Farmers' Conference recently they received inspiration and information of a practical value which doubtlessly be reflected in still greatly important investments on the farms in those states.
Speakers of national reputations addressed the gathering including, Dr. James Hardy Dillard, President of the Jeanes and Slater Boards; W. P. Moore, assistant State Director, Extension service from Virginia Polytechnic Institute; Miss Edith Allen, specialist in Agriculture Education, United States Department of Agriculture; Gordon A. Elean, assistant State Club Agent, Virginia Polytechnic Institute; Mrs. M. M. Davis, State Agent, Cooperative Extension Work in Home Economics; Jessie Hoover, specialist in milk utilization; Miss Olivia Well, Field Agent, Southern Division of Extension Work, United States Department of Agriculture and a number of Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland State agents and educators.
This group of representative agriculturists were told by Dr. Dillard that every man who tills the soil ought to own the soil he tills. "The finest and most independent human being," he said, "is the small farmer who tills his own acres."
Dr. J. E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, said: "To the farmer should stand for something different from the business man. He should never sink his service into the mere ambition to make money. He should belong to the profession of service. He should be ready to produce, not for mere personal gain, but to fulfill low-men's institution was designed for the ideal of unselfish farmers. Farmers, teachers, and ministers are fellow-workers for humanity."
Mrs. M. M. Davis, in her address on "Self-support through Home-demonstration Work in Virginia," discussed the case of one woman who in a single year had had to walk 221 miles for a manger water supply and during that time had to walk 4,750 pounds of water. When these facts were brought to the attention of her husband he put in a home water-supply system at a cost of $30. Mrs. Davis also made a vigorous appeal for the introduction through the country districts of a good milk supply in order that the manger supply of adulthood food. Mrs. Davis also made a plea for the cultivations of year-round gardens.
Talks On Home Industries
Miss Powell outlined what is being done in the Southern states to establish home industries. She showed the products of rural women and girls who have learned to standardize the canning of fruits to meet the commercial demands. These home products include those which come from the family cow, the garden, the orchard, and the poultry yard. She showed what is being done by women and girls who have learned to convert white honeycuckle basket and standard sweet-pet basket, and pine needles into attractive candy bushes. She also exhibited articles which had been made from so-called ulexes bides on the farm. These articles included attractive hats, gloves and gloves.
Gordon A. Elean outlined the five-year program for Virginia agriculture—a program that has been formulated on the findings of 11 committees representing 34 State organizations. The Virginia program calls for more economical methods of production, better

Maine Legislates Against Spread Of Veneral Diseases
As an additional measure for the protection of the community from venereal infection the Eighty-Second Legislature of the State of Maine passed an amendment whereby superintendents of State, county and municipal charitable or correctional institutions are required to report to the State Department of Public Health any intimate about to be released and who is afflicted with a venereal disease in an infection form. It is to be made known that the fourteen days before the estimated date of release of the State Department of Public Health may "take very measures to protect others from such infection."
It has been generally accepted by the various states, says the U. S. Public Health Service, that provision should be made for the medical examination, care and treatment of venereally afflicted inmates of state institutions, and that a show animation, and treatment are provided. The Maine a mendment, requiring the report of infectious cases before their release, is a significant venereal disease control measure.

methods of farming, the production of more home supplies, and the fitting of production to the needs of the people. "A great responsibility," he said, "treats upon leaders to guide people in the building up of the soil and in the developing of a wholesome home life. The average farmer, whether white or colored, unless he is carefully guided, will come to rely on a one-crop system and will fail to live at home—that is, supporting himself and his stock from what he can produce on his own" At a joint meeting with members of the Ministers' Conference of Humpton Institute, John E. Pierce outlined a plan for securing better cooperation between ministers and farmers. He said that the State extension-service workers stand ready to cooperate in the improvement of all phases of community work.

"The State of Colorado is glad you have come despite the fact that the welcome is not delivered by the chief executive of the State. Mr. Sweet declared that the time had come to put an end to mob law in America and he directly attributed the increase of mobism to the hatred and spirit of lawlessness sown by the Ku Klux Klan. James Weldon Johnson, in his address, called upon the colored citizens of America to assert a new sort of power with which to achieve their rights. This new power, he asserted, must be a combination of the various sources of power used hitherto, including education, economic wealth, political action and organization.

HUNDREDS APPLY TO SING LEADING ROLE IN "AIDA"
Noted Grand Opera Singer Gives Opportunity To Negro Soprano To Appear In Grand Opera In New York.
An opportunity, heretofore unparalleled, has been offered the Negra race to break into grand opera, according to an announcement carried in recent issues of New York papers, in which it is stated that Edwardo Ferrari-Fontana, who won fame overnight in the Metropolitan Opera House when he sang in the opera "L Amore die tre re," is looking for a Negro soprana to train to sing the leading role in the opera "Aida," through the Amsterdam News. Hundreds of enthusiastic students have sent in their application. Some applicants have written letters, expressing their appreciation of the opportunity.
Mr. Fontana was born in Rome in 1878. His uncle was Ettore, the sculptor, and his father, a noted physician. After going thru the lower school, the gymnas and the lycee, Fontana attended the University of Rome and took up the medical course, intending to go to the University of Paris. He went there for three years and then spent another year in the Hospital of San Giancione, where his father was connected.
An Artist By Chance
After a most thrilling account of adventures in South America, comes the tale of how he came to sing in America. St was almost an accident. Mr. Ferrari-Pontanak was a famous States for the purpose of visiting his wife, Mme. Margarete Matzenauer, a contralto of the Metropolitan Opera Company. During his two years' service at the consultate in Montevideo, he had begun to take singing seriously, cultivating his voice and singing at private parties as an amateur. He had made his first public appearance before an audience in Rio Janeiro in 1901, where he was greatly praised. But when he came to New York, he found such thing in his mind as singing in New York. He just happened to be available when Mr. Russell was scouring the country for a tenor to sing in "Tristan."
To be brief, the career of Ferrari-Fontana reads somewhat like this—He made his debut at the Tecno Regio of Turin in the year 1900 with "Tristano." He sang later on the best stages of Italy, and in 1903 he two at the Dal Verna of Milano, three at the Regio of Turin, two at the San Carlo of Naples, two at the commune of Bologna. Leaving Italy for America, he sang two seasons, in Buenos Aires; two at Boston, two at Chicago and two at New York. In the first four years of his career he gave about eighty recitals of "Tristano" and seventy of "Tambucco." He gave many first interruptions of new operas such as "Giulia" by the Golden Gate at the Bologna, "Laura," by Zanella at Bologna, and "L'Amore due te re" at La Seala.
Mrs. Alice P. Read, a wealthy colored woman with extensive realty holdings in New York City, has volunteered incidental funds necessary to take advantage of the re-employment benefits she will be tried but separately by competent voice culturers before being passed on to Mr. Fontana for his final decision.
Preliminary try-outs have begun in the Harlem Branch of the New York Public Library. If Mr. Fontana finalizes his application in getting it in the metropolitan Opera House, it will be the first time a Negro has ever been heard there.
South and Close Connect HowardStudy FacultySha Dismissed Instructor of Idea," In Dropping tent; And Alleges G Case; Appeals To Th
Close Connection Between HowardStudent Revolt And Faculty Shake-Up Alleged
Dismissed Instructor Charges "Economy Idea," In Dropping Professors Inconsistent; And Alleges Gross Unfairness In His Case; Appeals To The Public.
Orlando Cecil Thornton, former instructor in finance and business organization, School of Commerce, Howard University, who, along with a number of other professors, was dropped from the teaching program the recent shake-up at Howard University, has issued to the press a detailed statement calling attention to alleged unfairness of his dismissal. He also charges that the summary severance of his connection with the school was contrary to Government policy regarding employment of ex-service men, Mr. Thornton served with the 351st Field Artillery overseas), and declares that he was an expected official by the ad valentive officials for extricating themselves from a delicate situation precipitated by their own blundering.
Mr. Thornton's statement bolsters the opinion held by a large section of the public that the recent Howard shake-up had a close connection with the student revolt which preceded it by only a few weeks than administrative officials of the University have showed inclination to admit. Immune to co-operation among all classes of co-operation between the faculty and president and domineering by the latter.
Efficiency and Economy Boo-hooed
The dismissed instructor virtually
explodes the assertion made by
the board of trustees in a lengthy
statement following the shake-up
in which they claimed the re-organization was based on greater efficiency and the promotion of economy, following recommendations made by a Columbia University expert, who conducted an exhaustive survey of Howard. He calls attention to the salary increases of deans which, he says, entirely offset the salary increases that might have resulted from his dismissal. Mr. Thornton says:
"I have been teaching accountancy and allied subjects at the Howard University for a period of five (5) years, my subjects being along the line of my special preparation.
I have done such work as to elicit enthusiastic and favorable comment each year from both faculty members and student-body alike. And now I am notified that I am to be unceremoniously dropped from my position allegedly because I desire to become a faculty member, as seem to think that the reason advanced is merely a subterfuge which cannot be supported by the facts in any way whatsoever, one notable instance to refute the alleged reason being that my salary from 1920 to this year remained at $1500 per annum, and was accidentally increased by $50 this year as a result of the insti tence of the com bined faculty, for a long time, for some consideration in this regard, until this week the salaries of some professors have been considerably increased to say nothing of the increase from $1000 to $3500 in each of the cases of 6 or 7 deans, the fallacy in the reason (economy) given will at once be appreciated. One professor, as example, received an increase of $400, so I am reliably informed, because of his/her clever disposition, etc. But I am casting no reflection upon the individual; I merely want to show the inconsistency of the matter, for drawing me, except that, perhaps, it is desired to increase salaries to bear by influential members of the faculty, and, ostensibly, the only way to increase certain salaries is to "let somebody out."
Meeting of Trustees
Referring to the meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 2nd, when the re-organization program was mapped out, Mr. Thornton says it was a "memorable meeting". Some of the trustees who were said not to be going along with the additional deadlock, failed of the decision he instigated. In the motions, which had been passed by the board to the detriment of certain faculty members leaked out before being officially confirmed, he charges, and names the following members of the faculty as having involved: "Dean Kelly Miller, it was reported, lost his Deanship of the Junior College on the grounds that the Junior College Work overlapped that of the School of Liberal Arts; lost his Professorship of Sociology, and was to be placed by office of the President to raise endowment. His Professorship is said to have been of the one who had been his subordinate.
"Dean George William Cook, for fifty (50) years intimately connected with the academic and of official life of the University, it was further reported, lost his Deanship, that being based on the recent action of the Trustees to receive teachers at the age of 62 years, his work in the School of Cumerlee and Finance, merged with that of the College of Liberal Arts, as result of a so-called survey of an educational expert from Columbia University.
"These' two men, particularly have never entered into the good graces of the present-administra
rition, it seems. These were 'tole
songs'. Then there were
"Prof. Alain Leroy Locke, probably the best prepared teacher along his line in the University from the standpoint of his graduate and undergraduate work. A. B. and Ph. D., from Harvard University, Litt. B., from Oxford England, the only Negro Rhodes scholar.
"Prof. Alonze H. Brown, teacher of mathematics, and Assistant Professor Leroy Lockard, teacher of African languages.
Plans Leaked Out
Plans Leaked Out
"Now let me emphasize that these Last Three men, it was really and understood, were dropped for having had too much sympathy with the students; they were not student students. The information, although denied, is appealing nevertheless.
"Now, you see the plans seem to have leaked out' prematurely; the teachers involved—at least some of them I definitely know, put their wits to work, and the influential ones were able to bring sufficient puerasure to bear to cause a denial of the purported action of the Trustees. The counted aroused, the president clamped, and the admin said to be not the representative group, though it is hard to believe) demanded the resignation of Dr. Durkice as president of the University, and the restoration of the men slated to go. Well, here is what happened after all, and which is said to be the official action, the only action contemplated. (The fallacy of the denials is pretty general, the矣es 15th, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees issued a statement which in substance is this:
"Denn George W. Cooke, made Dean Ementus with a salary increase from $310 to $3500, given one year's notice of his retirement. 'Dean Kelly Miller retained his Professorship in Sociology, but lost the Deanship of the Junior College on the grounds of its abolition. This salary was increased from $310 to $3500. It is generally believed this is a punishment of his role to vaccinate. 'Professors Locke, Brown, Lochal and (as a substitute) Thorn, were dragged from the University on the purported grounds of Economy.
"Now Thornton's name caused distinct surprise to everybody, as he had not entered into any quarrels his work was considered efficient, he had strenuously supported the faculty and the administration during the recent strike, and his work was a prime essential in the education of the students with no teacher at the University being prepared to take over his work, and one refusing to try it. Referring to himself, Mr. Thornton says:
"I dislike very, very seriously!being "I should treat at a time when there is expressed hereabout some doubt of the loyalty of a few teachers to the administration. While I am definitely made to understand that my case is a 'clean one'; that there is no imputation of disloyalty, certainly the public will not understand, and I would naturally be classed as a malcontent, and I would be treated with disgust when the 'shake-up' at Howard is due, in a large measure, to so-called administration enemies. I fear that I shall be unable to bear up under the disgrace of that!
"It seems clear, therefore, that I was not among those who were stated to go AT FIRST; they were composed of the so-called administration enemies. But they, in several instances, were fortunate enough to be able to bring sufficient pressure to bear, with the result that the plans to be rid of them placed, at least for the time being. "My career will be ruined, I fear, if this atrocity (dropping me without any logical reason) is allowed to stand. It seems though I had to be substituted for others who could not be dropped, that most likely I could be dropped with impunity, in spite of the fact that everywhere World War Veterans, if interested in them, are given preference at time like that. Such a calamity will be a terrible experience for my wife to hear; and I think of her especially in this 'hour of trial'.
"It is definitely known that Dr. Durkee bakes, to a large degree, action on the announced economy plan of President Coolidge; and the practice which is now pervading the several Government Departments. This plea falls short for two outstanding reasons, which are:
(1) President Coolidge's economy policy includes a commitment to the proposition that where dropping is necessary, the cases of World War Veterans who are efficient; shall be given first consid- eration; the Durkee is committed to the statement that Thornton is very efficient, that no charge is brought against him.
(2) The administration seems not to be practicing economy, in that, it is just now increasing the salaries of 6 or 7 or more deans from $3100 to $3500, increasing salaries of professors—in one case much more—the increase to the deans. While Thornton's salary was the insignificant amount of
$1550, which. If paid, relatively speaking would not be felt. The former instructor sets out in detail the work of his department over a period of five years. He marshals figures to show that the number of students enrolled in his class was representative, this in refutation of the Columbia University expert's contention, "that there are not enough students at the present time interested in these fields to justify the development of the school (meaning School of Commerce and Finance, which recommends be merged with the College of Liberal Arts), Mr. Thornton mentions, that even though the expert said, that even though merged, the students would be given the same opportunity to specialize that they now have." "To curtail the work is to deny them what he recommends, in face of the fact that this recommendation was adopted by the board," asserts the former instructor.
Referring to his record at the University, he says, "President Durke has expressed time and again verbally and in writing that Thornton's services were highly efficient, and yet in face of the expert's observation that there is scarcity of this type of teacher, the fact is that one of these teachers received his diploma misissi June 17. It has been reliably reported that the statement was made, a teacher that if it were not Thornton, somebody had to be trapped." Mr. Thornton also gives out a copy of a letter which he addressed to a member of the Board of Trustees calling attention to Thornton's case and asking a review. The answer, the former instructor, declares, indicates how powerful is the dominance in the board. This teacherDurke tells Mr. Thornton that he is in full agreement with the action of the university authorities.
In issuing his statement, Mr. Thornton frankly admits that this is his 'hour of trial' and seemingly he is in a defensesless manner. He demands a correcting 'of the alleged wrongs inflicted upon him.'

In the City.
Richmond, Va—The Sixth Mt.
Zion Baptist Church, the remodel-
ing work on which is neaying com-
pletion, is quite an imposing strue-
ture. ‘Taking the form of an en-
tirely new church, it stands out
boldly ag one of the most, beauti-

When the interior decorating is
completed and the new and latest
model pine organ shall have been
installed, Sixth Mount Zion will
rank then in grandeur as well as
in, pupit,ftellectuality, with the
leading Negro churches of the
country. The work on this church
almost in its entirety, from the

\done by Negroes. All of this
great building work at an enor-

Brown is a man of broad vision
and tremendous executive ability,
which he has so clearly demon-
strated in the year that he has
been here. In the midst of all
this. work he was_not_unmindful
of the need of education of the
race and his duty along that line
so he had his church pledge $1000

not likely that these two will meet
any time soon, duc to both being
now under the same management.
Walk Miller who has so suecgss-
fully directed the affairs of the.fa-
mous “Tiger” and many other eol-
ored fighters of note signed "Sun-
ny Jim” to a five year contract
immediately on his arrival in the
Big City. Miller says he feels con-
fident that in Flowers and Wil-
liams, he has the two best middle-
weights in the world today. Tt is
possible one of Walk’s friends: on
the Coast tipped him off as to the
ability of Williams, and the astute
lite manager had a motive in
signing “Sunny Jim" and keeping
him under the same direction with
Flowers, Be that as it may, this

Billy “Conley, Battling Ortega,
Steve Dalton, Ray Pelkey, Frankie
Murphy,” Bert Collin and many
others have dropped decisions to
Williams. He knocked out the
sensational Gordon McKay in two
rounds, which so far as is known,
was the only tinie this fighter had
ever been knocked out.
“Sunny Jim” is aggressive and
ulways makes the fight an interest-
ing one, he never stalls or uses any
taetics that would tend to slow up

become a prime favorite with the

Twenty-third Anniversary and Progress
Record edition of July 9th, It comes to us
in four sections of twenty-eight pages com-
puct with « wealth of information and in-

vealed in both its news and advertising col-

Motors On Ferries
Motorists should pay special heed to the
warning recently given by the Commissioner
of Navigation of the United States Depart-
ment of Commerce relative to the handling
of automobile engines on ferry boats.
‘The Commissioner warns that unless au-
tofsts shut off their motors while on ferries
and similar crossings they will be liable to
a fine undey the Federal law, up to $500,
“and their automobiles shall be linble for the
fine.” Previous to the lust session of Con-
gress, when the statute was changed, the law
upplied to ferry owners. They pleaded in-
ability to enforce it and asu result Congress
placed the responsibility on the autoists.
All fires must be extinguished in the auto
and its motor stopped immediately after the
machine has tuken its position on the vessel,
and the motor must remain idle until the
boat is made fust to its landing,
‘The law is very explicit on this subject,
and even inadvertent violation may get the
uutomobile driver into nd little trouble. Jt
is eusy to imagine how a day's outing may
be spoiled, other unnecessary expense and
. inconveniences encountered by the motorists
“who disregard this law even for a brief
moment in the presence of. an aggressive of-
ficer. Save your eats and annoyance by a
strlet adherence to the’ law.

Not within the memory of the present
generation have the newspapers of the coun-
try had an opportunity of heralding in big
front page stories in such rapid succession
such a’ glorious array of instances’ of in-
dividual heroism as they have had for the
“past two months, First, Tom Lee risked
his life in the eddies of the Mississippi and
saved 32 prominent persons from a watery
death, Before references to this daring
episode had found the back pages, Oscar
Daniels, a Pullman porter saved the lives
of a score or more of passengers on his
train, but sacrificed ‘his own life in the he-
roie act. Before the blood tingle, which
Daniels’ act gave that great body of Amer-
icans who are thrilled by individual daring
had time to subside, a nine-year-old girl of
Hagerstown, Md,, thought quickly and in-
telligently enough to improvise a flag und
wave down a passenger train in time to
avert an impending wreck. Her heroism
undoubtedly saved the lives of another
score or more persons. +
The heroes and heroine were lowly in-
dividuals and members of the Negro race.
The beneficiaries of their heroism were
white, wealthy and influential. But the
race of those heroes and heroine had noth-
ing to do with their acts. The fact is, race
is such an insignificant factor in the realm
of human aceomplishments that really there
is no need of referring to it here, except
in refutation of the opinion held by certain
people that daring, courage, instant thinking
and acting recognize racial limitations.
These individuals were instinetively im-
pelled by that touch of nature which makes
the whole world kin, And being impelled,
they suceeeded because they possessed the in-
nate capacity, like other normal humans, to
face emergencies and rise to greatness.
To Spread Negro Literature In Europ
‘Those fifty white women, prominent so-
cial service workers of Chieago, who have
planned to distribute in Europe literature
on Negro progress in America at the con-
vention of the World Federation of Educa-
tion Associations this summer have struck
upon an idea that is fraught with the possi-
bilities of rendering iricaleulable service to
the whole wonld
As a race we will be compelled to feel
elated and diply apprecistive of their ef-
forts in our behalf, but the good that is
certain to follow the carrying out of their
Plans is too great, tuo far-reaching to be
compremended merely as a race benefit.
Any plan whatsoever that contemplates the
softening of racial and world distrust, ha-
treds and misundeustandings comprehends
world benefits,
It is an old and more or less truthful
saying that bad news travels doubly as, fast
a good news and always gets the first start.
But it is also a truism that truth, once
started on its way, is never again caged
but goes on and on gradually reforming the
world and world conditions. Unfavorable
Propaganda and unmitiguted falsehoods con-
cerning the American Negro have been car-
ried to Europe, very likely, ever since the
first American touched foot on foreign
shores. With the increase of ocean travel
the carrying of that stuff has become ac-
celerated. Occasionally the light of truth
has blazoned across the Atluntic and has
served to cause race prejudice to grow in
the.Old World with « slackened pace. These
Chicago women are going to make a sys-
tematic and organized attempt to spread the
truth over there. To Miss Holbrook, who
is to do the distributing, we bid God's speed,
und say to her that her mission approaches
the Divine.

A decrease in lynchings and other racial
disturbances in the South during the past
year and a half is a hopeful indication that
Southern State governments and private
agencies ure making strenuous efforts to
strengthen inter-racial amity and maintain
strict law observance in all matters growing
out of misunderstandings between the races.
Of all the states concerned with the del-
‘cate race problem, Virginia is at present
oceupying the conspicuous and unenviable
position of being the seat of an organized
and apparently determined movement to
negative and to destroy all that is being
done in the State and elsewhere to bring
about a peaceful and satisfactory adjust-
ment of conditions, And all because of the
fanatical notions of a small group of men
who have conceived the idea—if they are
really sincere—that the white race in Amer-
‘iea must be saved from absorption by those
of African and Indian. descent!
The men who are most active in this
strange, organized movement to wreck
amicable vace relations in Virginia und in
the South are: John Powell, » professional
pianist; Dr, Lawrence T. Price, a physician;
Dr. W. A. Plecker, State Registrar of Vital
Statistics; Earnest S. Cox, a disciple of
Marcus Garvey, all of Richmond; and W.
S. Copeland, editor of a Newport News
ddily newspaper. They are the authors and
sponsors of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs move-
ment, and tiey have launchéd a vicious and
maligious broadside against the affiliation
of white people in any personal capacity
with Negro educational or social welfare
work. ‘Their Intest move was to formally
‘request twenty outstanding Southerners, in-
cluding Governor Trinkle of Virginia and
Governor MeLean of North Carolina, to
withdraw from the Hampton-Tuskegee en-
dowment fund committee, because, they al-
lege, “social equality is taught and practiced
at Hampton,” a charge both impudent and
infamous in its spirit and motive.
Even during the days of slavery there
were social contacts between master and
slave. General Robt. E.-Lee, the ido! of the
South, and General Stonewall Jackson
taught colored people how to read the Bible
and instructed them in religious precepts.
Thousands of Southerners of pure Anglo-
Saxon blood emulated the ideals and ex-
amples of Lee and Jackson, John Powell
and his misguided followers could learn
something to their own benefit, by studying
the experiences of some of these Southern-
ers in their relations with colored people.

Vacations Safe and Sane—Exhibit B
The sentiment of the last “lest we for-
get” was “Muke your yaeation one of time,
task, und territory, but don’t vacate reason,
right or righteousness.”
Special sections of the Vacation Express,
going somewhere and nowhere and carrying
4 merry-go-round of seekers after the what
they ain’t going to yet sometimes, and get-
ting what they ain't seeking for sometimes,
and so often run around the green signals
of safety and orange that we thought a bit
of jogging the memory might spare the cus-
ualty lists some of their usual vacation vie-
tims
‘This time we had hoped to jump right
ont board with you and have a right-o'-way
that would turn all signals right-side up.
But, lo, the man who gathers up what's left
after it has happened says that out of the
decem of rules proposed to save careasses,
coins and consciences, the only one left un-
broken hasn't been reported yet.
Well we are not discouraged. Have you
ever seen un excited rabbit get out of his
hed to take to the tall timbers? Well, it
takes him a little while to straighten out.
So here goes again. :
1, Typhoid—This is an awful starter,
but he is a more awful finisher. Watch the
sources of the milk you use, and both drink-
ing water and water of bathing or swimming
holes or streams. By all means yet your
anti-typhoid vaccine, Tt doesn't hurt you,
but better still it will keep typhoid “bugs”
from hurting you and taking your name and
address for further reference. Your doctor
or health department can put you next,
‘Three scratches and typhoid is out-o'-luck.
2 Stomach and Intestine Disorders—
Don't-don't-don’t treat your food factory
and waste disposal system as if it were a de-
tachment from the rest of the respectable
and reasonable community of interest in
matters of personal hygiene. Eat right
food, right way, right time and eliminate
waste regularly and thoroughly. Have a
heart, or you will not have a stomach—or
wish you did not have one.
3, Tricks and Tragedies—Vacations are
great educators, but constantly bear in mind
that the rear lights on your old bus light
up only what you have run over and per-
haps. wrecked.
‘There are two arch fiends which take
advantage of the universal personal alibi,
“1 didw't think.” First, there is the wise
guy who first attracts your conceit or
curiosity and then extracts your coin or your
claim to respectability. Have 4 good time,
but think! When some folks are merry,
other folks are figuring on finesse, filch and
folly.
‘The other is not a submarine, first on the
level and then under cover; but it is a part
of the wrecking erew which we should none
the less beware, Jazz, joy-juice and gasoline
are the usual pleas of the offenders. Be
yourselves, vacationers!
Have a good time but think! No vaca-
tion is worth a mortgage on all future pros-
pects for good business, happy home and the
esteem of your community.
“Wow!” says the traffic manager, “let
up.” It ain't all that bad.” All right, then.
Show us some green and chase the red and
the Vacation Express will be on its way.
Nuff Sed, But, say, don’t you think it is
a good idea to hang out a few signs at rail-
way, gasoline, seashore and “Don’t-be-too
sure” stations? This is‘our nomination.
When in doubt, just think of the fa-
mous “Watill” song; “What Will I Do?”
Well just run down your personal record to
date and decide what you want in the next
chapter and do it.”
What's youfs?

Book Review
Howard W. Odum, Ph, D., of the
University of North Carolina,
has the merit of frankness in
dealing with the conditions whieh
are responsible for the South's
present lack in leadership of the
first order.” ‘fhe book is intro
spective in looking at these con-
ditions and seeks with ingisive u-
nalysis to lay bare the causes of
the South’s want of leaders of
distinetion.
Mr. Odum constantly wields
the lash in arousing his com-
patriots to a sense of needed
newer thought if the “self-im-
posed impassable barriers” ob-
structing the progress of the
South, are to be removed to give
place to the creation of situa-
tions favorable to the achieve-
ment, the distinction, the devel-
opment of Southern talent. That
this is possible and partakes of,
the nature of a ‘Southern promise
of the turning of Southern po-
tential power into national pow-
er is clearly indicated by Prof.
Odum in his selection of the
stories of Southern pioneers with
which his work is supplemented.
‘Among the pioneers thus se
lected for the purpose of emphu-
sizing his views is the name of
Booker T. Washington, whom he
includes along with Woodrow
Wilson, Walter Hines Page, Joel
Chandler Harris, and others as
representatives and leaders of
the new thought awakening tak-
ing place throughout the South
today.
‘The writer goes on to infer
that the Southern men who have
risen to the heights of eminence
have had their pushing force
from sections outside the South.
Just before making this infer-
ence, hie observes “Even in. re-
ligion and morality, for which
we claim so much, we have been
poor in the fruits of social right-
vousness, justice und the essence
of Christianity. ‘The religion
that boasts much, complains con-
tinuously, seeks motes in the
‘other peuple’s eyes, klans togeth-
er for persecution, mobs the
weak, has little respect for truth,
is selfishly self-centered, is emo-
tionally and lazily inelined to-
ward the easiest way, would
hardly be expected to produce
distinguished creative contribu-
tions in any field, So long as
the majority of leaders and the
great group of followers are
rich in that spirit of self-right-
eousness, of sensitive antagonism
toward things not our own way
of thinking, so long will the
South be thrice not blessed.”
Language like tie above can
come only from one who is deep-
ly in earnest about the welfare
of his native land and who has
the power of insight into her
shortcomings.
Again the writer calls atten-
tion to the influence of Northern
and Western universities upon
professional folks of the South
and decries the withholding of
“the means and stimulus for dis-
tinguished effort and service”
‘on the part of the South.
Dr. Odum points out the sig-
nificance of two viewpoints in
dealing with situations which a-
rise in the South. For example,
the view taken by a Southern
denominational leader in cam-
paigning for financial support
for “the South’s greatest Uni-
versity” in which he says that
the South “must endow and
equip its own institutions of
Jearning, and then by the most
watchful cave keep them clear of
liberalism and liberalists, ‘This
is a high and holy obligation
which the South owes the great
Republic of which it is so im-
portant a part.” Contrasted
with this is President Wilson's
utterance: “University spirit is
intolerant of all things that put
the human mind under restraint.
it is intolerant of everything
that seeks to retard the advance-
ment of ideals, the acceptance of
truth, the purification of life,”
which statement, Prof. Odum
thinks is the proper view, if per-
sons are inclined to think in
terms not of a narrow section-
alism.
The author does not believe in
the defense mechanisms repeat-
to that. revolution taking place
which in due time is compelled to
change the face of the Southland.
‘The constructive criticisms
given’ in the volume are thought-
fully presented and it should be
carefully read by every one who
yearns to see this great section
tuke her place nationally, and
who ‘by. reason of the author's
vivid presentation of manifest
shortcomings may be stirred to
new endeavor in the great work
of her advancement,

Racial Issues In Current
- Literature
by DANIEL W. CHASE.
The Basis of Racial Adjust:
ment, The Menace of Color and
Races, ‘Nations and (lasses are
three recent publications dealing
with, problems of race assimila-
tion in the United States.
‘The ‘Basis of Racial Adjust-
ment is by ‘Thomas’ Jackson
Woofter ir, Ph. D., who points
out that there is no real race
problem involved, the only thing
necessary heing to teach the two
races howto live cooperatively
and harmoniously. Dr. Woofter
states that since the Civil War
much has been done toward
bringing about real cooperation
between the races, and much
more needs to be done. Educa-
tion has made the colored peo-
ple less dependent upon the white
man, and the author states that
as the facilities inerease for fit-
ting the colored man to be able
to care for himself more, race
relationships will be better. He
does not believe in, nor does he
sve any danger in amalgamation,
and it is his opinion that misceg-
enation is on the decrease, neith-
ev race desiring it. The - book
will serve well as u textbook
for those interested in how the
races are to dwell together and
certain other questions uffecting
our social conditions,

“Races Nations and Classes”
by Herbert Adolphus Miller, is a
fairly. human treatment of the
color question. He gives some
ugly facts, but he states them in
a way xs ¢not to arouse group
prejudice, He has timely illus-
trations from ‘current history,
dealing with the Jews in Poland,
as well as throughout the world,
the.Poles in Germany, the Bohe-
mians in Austria, the Koreans in
their relation to Japan; the Ne-
gro in Afvica and America, in
relation to the civilization of the
white man. The Mohammedan
and the Christian, the Catholic
and the Protestant, the capitalist
and the laborer, al] fnd a place
in Dr, Miller’s Conflicts of Race,
Nations and Classes, He be-
lieves that the Jew has a three-
fold mission: the fostering of
cultural idealism, of economic re-
organization along international
lines and of humanitarian ten-
dencies of world-wide scope. The
book ix recommended for the
reading table for it is both in-
teresting and illuminating, It
is from the press of the J. B.
Lippincott company.
Dr. J. W. Gregory, F. R. S.,
D, Se., really sees “The Menace
of Color,” and declares that the
migration of Southern Negroes
to Northern centers will make
stich a scarcity of labor in the
South that it will become neces-
sary to import ‘cheap’ white la-
borers from Europe. He says
that those coming from certain
places along the Mediterranean
Sea, where there is little feeling
aguinst intermarriage with the
black race, might lead to a ra-
cial amalganition, the conse-
quences of which are difficult at
this time to see. Just to think,
Dr. Gregory imagines, if these
newcomers marry Southern Ne-
groes, the problem “would be one
of even greater and grave im-
port.” However his book covers
a wide range, and in speaking of
persons of color Dr. Gregory
‘means all who do not belong to
the white race. “The white race
includes, with the exception on-
ly of the Lapps, all the Euro-
peans and their descendants in
other continents. The yellow or
Mongolian race includes the peo-
ple. of Eastern and Northern
Asia the Malays and American
Indians. The brown race in-
cludes all Asiaties who are mot
Mongolian, all Africans who are
not Negroes, the Australian
aborigines, and the South Sea Is-
landers or Polynesians.” —Con-
tinue reading, “The Negro race
includes all the frizzly-haired
thick-lipped, broad-nosed inhabi-
tants of Africa and an offshoot
of. the same race in New Guinea
and further east in the Melanes-
ian Islands.”
However, Dr, Gregory believes
that each race should work out
its own destiny by itself, and to
show that he is not alone in his
belict he quotes certain corres.

The Poet’s Corer
The Prosperous Black Race
Over the seas from our native
home,
Bound in chain under a slavery
band,
We were scattered among
strange nations to roam,
Thou, O God, hath helped us
with a powerful hand.
We worked in the field’ with a
faithful heart,
"Twas our fathers’ who tilled the
ground, planted, the cotton.
In building the cities we took an
active part,
O faithful black race, such deeds
cannot be forgotten.
Elevate and magnify our stand-
ard we must,
‘Tho steep and rugged is the hill
we climb;
Fame and’ strength lie in the
unity of us.
‘The hilltop we reach in the
steady march of time.
"Twas our fathers’ helped Ameri-
ca advance comprehensive
and strong.
To be victorious in wars, the hill
of prosperity she climbed the
height.
Suecess and victory is achieved
by help of the black man’s
arm.
Softly whisper I in my hesrt;
To us she owes her might.
Not envy and jealousy nor a
geance we seek;
But truth and righteousness and
justice for all.
St. Matt, chap. 5; the earth’s in-
habitants shall be the meek.
Every evil work, thought and
deed shall fall.
Prosper on ye valiant hearted
black race of might.
No nation has learned intelli-
gence, nor prospered in such
haste,
Nor shown their work and skill
a light so bright
As the prosperous and faithful
American black race.

SKEPTICISM
No greater baneful destroyer
or racial hopes, exists than the
skeptic,—the brother who lacks
confidence in himself and his
ruee. We have met several dif-
ferent varieties of this member
of the Four Horsemen, and it
it both painful and pitiful to see
him apply his extinguisher to the
comfortable warmth of racial ad-
vaneement. One skeptic, a phy-
sician, said he never paid any
attention to what he read in
Negro newspapers,—that it: was
all bunk, and he could get enough
real news by reading the white
dailies. Another, a Negro bus-
inessman, said he had?no use
tor Negro lawyers, all of whom
were N. G. A modest washer-
woman whose rent was being
raised every quarter or so, said
she'd rather pay her rent to a
white agent while another promi-
iment doctor, with a lucrative
practice amoig his own people,
always “cut in” a white under-
taker whenever he could. Still
another skeptic said he did not
have much use for colored den-
tists; and most of the brothers
and sisters living near the young
Australia; the yellow and brown
Taces to’Asia, and the blacks to
Africa, ‘The book has several il-
