DALMUS STEELE PROMINENT ELK CANDIDATE HERE IN HIS CAMPAIGN J. Dalmus Steele, Exalted Ruler of New York Lodge, Tours Virginia In Interest of Ambition To Head Order. J. Dalmus Steele, Exalted Ruler of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45 of Elks of New York, arrived in this city this week, where he is to spend a few days in interest of this campaign for election to the position of Grand Exalted Ruler of I. B. P. O. E. of W. at the annual convention of the lodge in Richmond August 23-28. Of the many names that have been mentioned as possible and invoked candidates for the highest honors within the gift of Elkdom, Mr. Steele appears to be making he most progressive and fruitful campaign. Although not at all overlooking the West, Mr. Steele's paying particular attention to he South, admittedly the stronghold of the present Grand Exalted Ruler J. Firbey Wilson. It is said that during his itinerary through his section he has consistently added to his list of adherents. Mr. Steele is making no fight personally upon the present incumbent, but s directing his verbal batteries at what he characterizes as perpetuation of the position of Grand Exalted Ruler. He states, "I believe that the Elks want a change as they are opposed to the perpetuation of the office of Grand Exalted Ruler. It is my belief that the extensive development of the Elks is its climax. We want more intensive development now. My policy is take what we have and make what we want out of it. The Order is destined to do a greater work than realized by all predecessors. The Elks as an Order is o blaze the trail for the second manication of our group; namely, from political and economic slavery." Prominent Elk The candidate has gained considerable prominence in Elkdom, having attracted attention to himself and his policies when he spoke in behalf of Elkdom and New York at the great gathering of Elks in Newark, N. J. Mr. Steele radiates confidence over the outcome of his campaign and evidences utmost sincerity in its platform. Reports from New York, New Jersey an Baltimore indicate that Elks in those cities are ining up behind him in numbers (Continued on Page Six) Says 105-Year-Old Father Needs The Care of Sons A correspondent informs the journal and Guide that a Rev. Simon Rodgers, to be to 105 years old, and a former resident of Princess Anne County, Va., is living in Statesville, N. C., among people who are virtually strangers to him. The aged man is reported to be blind, having lost his eyesight about three years ago. The correspondent states that kindly disposed persons of the city are caring as best they can for Rev. Rodgers and states that the infirm minister has several sons and a daughter now living in Tidewater Virginia. The daughter, the letter stated, does all she can for her father, but indicated that was not a great deal. The names of the sons and daughter were mentioned and they are said to be prominently connected in this State. The writer indicates that their aged father is much in need of their attention. KLAN BOOKS ON CHURCH STEPS NO TERROR TO PRIEST KLAN BOOKS ON CHURCH STEPS NO TERROR TO PRIEST Father Regnat Returns Answer That Was A Tribute To His Christianity, And Evidenced Marked Coolness WOULD LIKE TO MEET HIS NOCTURNAL VISITORS Rev. William Regnat, new pastor of St. Benedict's Catholic Church, Greensboro, N. C., evidenced marked coolness and returned an answer that was a tribute to his Christianity when members of the Ku Klux Klan placed on the steps of his church pamphlets, "Why I Am A Klansman." on the night of July 13. Rev. Regnat, finding the pamphlets when he went to celebrate mass the following morning forthwith issued this statement: "Whilst I invite and appreciate any form of enlightenment on the civic and partiotic duties of a low per cent of blue blooded Americans," he stated. "I consider the time and method rather inconvenient since my invisible callers chose for their friendly visit the dark hours of the night which as a tired and peaceful citizen I am accustomed to spend in deep slumber. This circumstance also deprived me of the pleasure of retaliating in kind by offering to return enlightening pamphlets of our own for instance, about the Knights of Columbus and their record breaking work during the world war when Uncle Sam was looking for sure enough patriots of the visible and tangible type. Would Like To Meet Them "I would consider it a real pleasure to meet my well meaning midnight visitors face to face in broad daylight for a hearty handclasp and brotherly exchange of views and opinions which might prove enlightening to both sides. "According to physical laws a strong light cast upon an object casts a shadow. If we could get together and throw light on both sides of the question no doubt the shadow of misunderstanding would disappear and a common basis could be formed to work hand in hand for the great object both sides have at heart; a stronger, finer, greater and better America, a more firmly United States."

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1925 Thought Woman's Body In Mud Was A Stump North Carolina continues to add to her laurels gained for presenting to the world the oddities in the news. This time it is an Edgecombe County farmer who reels of the choice bit without even as much as wink of an eye. Says the farmer, a Mr. Walter Bullock, who lives a few miles from Rocky Mount, during the heavy rains which visited it t h at section week before last, acres of corn on his farm fell a victim to rain and water. A woman tenant on the farm of Ben Lawrence, which joins his, started across the watersnaked field and she mired up in the mud and kept on slipping downward until she was almost imbedded up to her armpits. That was about 10 o'clock in the morning and the woman was not extricated until 1 o'clock the next day, being imprisoned. For more than twenty-four hours. Several hours work was necessary to extricate her. At one time it was thought a pair of mules would be necessary to pull her out, but rescuers finally managed to use hoards and dig her out. Mr. Bullock says, Mr. Lawrence, who discovered the woman's plight, at first thought her body jutting up out of the ground was a stump Realizing that no stump had been seen in that part of the field, he went over to investigate and found the woman fatigued and exhausted. She soon recovered from the effects of her hazardous experience and is said to be no worse off by it. HAS HIMSELF FOR LAWYER;FREED ON THREE CHARGES HAS HIMSELF FOR LAWYER;FREED ON THREE CHARGES Young Carolinian Makes Plea That Convinces Jury of His Innocence; Qualifies For Candidate For Bar. There is an old saying that the accused who has himself for his lawyer has a fool for a client. Nobody has ever explained whether experiences have borne this statement out to be invariably true or not, or whether it was concocted by lawyers as a slogan to fill their own pockets, but in Superior Court at Raleigh, N. C., a colored youth, Milliard Massenburg, has just proved the evidence, according to reports from that city. Massenburg was arraigned Tuesday morning, July 14, on three charges, carrying concealed weapon, larceny of a pistol and assault with a deadly weapon. He had no counsel and elected to conduct his own case. Judge Devine asked him if he wanted to address the jury. Messenburg said he did. He walked over to the rail of the jury box and carried on an intimate conversation with the jurors for about ten minutes. Nobody in the courtroom could hear the speech except the jurors but they appeared to like it. The jury retired and returned within a few minutes finding Massenburg not guilty on every charge against him. Liked The Jury When the trial began Judge Devine is said to have put to Massenburg the customary question: "Have you any objection to any of the juries?" "Naw, suh, I like 'em," Massenburg declared, a remark which immediately got him in good with the jury. Ten witnesses had been placed on the stand against the accused to prove everything against him, but Solicitor Evans did not address the jury. "Massenburg, you may be excused. The bar here thinks you may apply for license next time," declared the judge as he dismissed the defendant. "There is your candidate for Solicitor," Senator W. M. Person said to attorney Buck Jones when Massenburg was acquitted. Mr. Jones is said to be anxious to find a lawyer to beat Solicitor Evans. Col. Person says he does not see how one better equipped could be found.

MINISTER QUERIES WILL THE NEGRO BECOME CATHOLIC? MINISTER QUERIES Dr. George L. Cady, Distinguished Divine, Suggests Possibility of Race Being Forced In Catholic Church. REFERS TO CORDIAL RECEPTION GIVEN The Rev. Dr. George L. Cady, distinguished secretary of the American Missionary Association, started a current of thought not heretofore exploited when he raised the question: Will the Negro become Catholic? and at the same time made statements which almost utter a prophecy that he will, on account of Ku Klux Klan persecutions, as reported in a recent issue of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. Negroes in this country in the past have been overwhelmingly Protestant, but an increasing drift toward Catholicism has been noted among them in late years. Is the klan policy of branding Negroes, Catholics and Jews as unAmerican elements bringing this great body of people together in a common sympathy that is manifesting itself in augmenting the Catholic forces with 11 million colored Americans? And is the unChristian attitude of the white Protestant churches in unwelcoming and discriminating against Negroes in their pews, in contrast with the cordial reception accorded colored people in Catholic churches, another factor which is working silently to draw the race from Protestantism to Catholicism? Dr. George L. Cady raises these questions and his explanatory statements are virtually affirmative answers. He says: "Put yourself in place of the colored man," he says: "This klan has proscribed you and your race in a demonstration of a white Protestant supremacy. But it has also proscribed the Catholic Church and has drawn a clear line—on the one side white Protestantism and on the other the Catholic Church and with it yourself and your people of black skin. You have neither the time nor the heart to reason—what wonder if you accept the company into which you have been thrust and which holds out to you the arms of a Christian through Catholic fraternity? One wonders just how the klan statement figure out that they are to destroy the power of the Catholic Church (Contributed on Page Seven) LOCAL ELKS IN DRIVE FOR 500 NEW MEMBERS Big Membership Campaign Launched By Greater Norfolk Lodge Will End August Twenty-first. "Hello Bill!" "Hello Bill!" will be a more universal greeting among men in Norfolk after August 21st, as Greater Norfolk Lodge No. 132 plans on that date to initiate 500 new members as a result of the membership drive which has just been launched. Unique Plan The campaign has been organized after the plan of the National Baseball Commission, to give impetus and enthusiasm to the contest, and it had not gotten beyond the stage of the first "game" before interest was at a high pitch. Following is the personnel of the campaign organization; M. S. B. Noble, high commissioner; Throman Clark, assistant high commissioner; Attorney David H. Edwards, president of the American League; Past Exalted Ruler W. E. Carter, president of the National League. The captains of the various teams will be published later. "The campaign is already well under way and new members are rapidly coming in," High Commissioner Noble stated to this paper. "We look for unprecedented success in this drive." Greater Norfolk Lodge, which was organized in 1908 is said to be one of the most progressive in the Elk organization. The lodge owns property at 727-29 Princess A Church.

University of North Carolina Hears Oxley Tell of Race'sProblem --- WHAT NEGROES OF NORTH CAROLINA ARE DOING IN SOCIAL WELFARE WORK Churches and other organizations of Wake County give $1,000 to any salary of trained colored social welfare worker. Negro women of State have contributed $20,000 to be used in providing training school for delinquent colored girls; ground has been purchased and one modern building erected; plant consists of over 300 acres and has been given to the State by the Negro women. Negro Ellis of North Carolina have agreed to erect a cottage at the Morrison Training school for delinquent Negro boys, also a trades building. The cost of these two buildings will be $10,000. Lawrence A. Oxley, Director of Bureau of Work Among Negroes, State Board of Charities and Public Welfare of North Carolina, in his first lecture before the students of the School of Public Welfare at the University of North Carolina outlined a program for Negro welfare which holds the possibility of ultimately bringing about a definite and lasting amelioration of social uplift problems from which the race suffers in every Southern community. Mr. Oxley, although confident of the eventual attainment of the purposes of the Bureau of Work Among Negroes, admits the difficulty of the problems to be faced and frankly confesses that the bureau and its program is an experiment. Says he, "This Bureau is a great venture of faith, and with only the bare principles of social work to guide the undertaking, progress must be necessarily slow. Foundation of Bureau The Bureau of Work Among Negroes as an adjunct to the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare was made possible by a $60,000 grant from the Laura Spellman-Rockefeller Foundation, $30,000 of this sum is to be used in the School of Public Welfare of the University of North Carolina. The Negro Bureau was established January 1, of this year. Wake county was one of the counties chosen for special effort. There a trained Negro social worker, Miss Marjorie Edwards, of Philadelphia, has been appointed as assistant in the county welfare office. The colored people of the county have been areused to a self-interest in bettering their own condition, the result of which has been reflected in the contribution of $1,000 from the Negro churches and other organizations for the purpose of paying the salary of the Negro assistant in the county office. In his lecture at University Lieutenant Oxley said: Purpose of Bureau "The purpose which led to the creation of this important bureau, was to meet in some measure, a long recognized need for a constructive state-wide public welfare program for Negroes. The proper development of such a program must follow an intelligent study of the Negro and his many prob- SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR lens; and Negroes must be brought to realize their responsibility in the matter of sharing in the formulation of policies which will eventually be factors in meeting and solving problems of housing, home-life, mal-adjusted individuals and families, and the care of Negro delinquents, dependents, and defectives.

President At First Baptist Anniversary Eloquently Outlines Great Aid Church Has Been. The church is the most potent factor today in bringing men nearer to God, and the greatest force and institutional aid in making society what R is, declared Dr. John M. Gandy, principal of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, in a forceful and eloquent address at the first Baptist Church Tuesday night. Dr. Gandy had come to Norfolk to participate in the 125th anniversary exercises of the church which are in progress. He further said that men do not honor and respect the Bible as a book, but they do, however, appreciate to a high degree the things they find in the Bible—morals and honesty. Continuing, he asserted, the Ten Commandments are still the beacons that are leading men to a higher life. The reason that more money of the race is invested in churches than in any other enterprises, Dr. Gandy declared, is because the church does, indeed, render a great service to a group of people that need light on how to live. Educational Force The church during the middle ages and for 950 years was the educational force of the world, the speaker explained. Here, he referred briefly to the great cathedrals and monasteries of the past that housed all the documents of learning. Dr. Gandy mentioned the names of Calvin, Luther and Knox, of Switzerland, Germany and Scotland, respectively, as great religious leaders and reformers who rendered marked service to the world in their beliefs that the youth of their countries should receive an education to become better citizens. Wilberforce and Lincoln Universities, church schools, he referred to as pioneer institutions for the training of the Negro youth in America. He paid a glowing tribute to the late Dr. Bowling, father of the present Rev. Richard H. Bowling, former mastor and builder of the present beutiful First Baptist Church building. Dr. Gandy said the present pastor was indeed a character that should be emulated by the youth of the race. if they (Continued on Page Six) 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN 125TH ANNIVERSARY Prominent Divines And Laymen Join In With Members In Commemorating Great Part Church Has Played. MONUMENT WILL BE UNVEILED SUNDAY The initial service in the celebration of the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the First Baptist (Bute Street) Church, Rev. Richard H. Bowling, pastor, was held Sunday morning at 11:00 o'clock, when the anniversary sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. R. C. Woods, president of Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg. Dr. Woods, who is a brilliant speaker, took his text from the book of Isaiah and his sermon was a gem and brought forth many signs of approval from the large and representative congregation. Before introducing Dr. Woods, the pastor briefly traced the interesting history of the church, extending over the one hundred and twenty-five years of its life. The splendid musical numbers furnished by the choir were augmented by a solo rendered by Miss Flosloss Southall. A Baptismal service followed the sermon. At 3:00 p. m., the 1,500th communion service at the church was administered by the Rev. C. P. Madison, D. D., pastor of Second Calvary Baptist Church. At 8:00 p. m., the sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. T. J. King, of Richmond, president of the Virginia Baptist State Convention. Dr. King's discourse was prophetic of the future of the church and was received with marked attention and enthusiasm. Mrs. Indiana Knight sang a solo at this service. Services During The Week Services have been held each night during the week as a part of the celebration, in the following order: Monday night—Denominational; Tuesday—Interdenominational; Wednesday—Educational; Thursday—Fraternal; Friday—Community.

Gould will preside at this meeting. Formulate Plans To Oust Durkee From Howard University The Washington Alumni of Howardard University are reported to be actively engaged upon a program looking toward effecting the removal of President Durkee as head of the University. Reports are current that the alumni have sent emisaries into the North and West for the purpose of interviewing and securing some support of senators and congressmen. A campaign of picketing the university at the opening term is said to be in prospect. It is considered likely that the entire matter will be thrashed out in a congressional investigation.

A. and other, state athiec groups have, from time to time added sports to their lists that were not found there before. One of the most reeent additions to the C.

The colleges and schouls ure fast awakening to the ad. vantazes derived from a manifold of sport activities. The henefit and prestize ave incalculable, a Now for another branch of sport for the college and school that has galed considerably during the past few years and has been prae Weally lifted out of the rut and placed on solid ground where itis taking its place with the rest of the high class athletic activities—the sport is boxing. Boxing ax a coilege sport would do'a great deal in furnishing another kind of exercise for a number of students who, probably are not interested in football, baseball, or numerous other Hames, "No one, two, three. or wiv number of sports hold the same in. tense interest for everybody.

Where some stuclonts ave interested in boxing, swint ining and other sports, there are others who wish other games to give Yent to thir athletic inclinations, Boxing is as good for, thy college as any’ of the other sports that are now fostered by them.” Ithas the tendency to develop some of the same things the other, sports, develop and in some eases, in a larger dexceee. Boxing is not the game it has been painted by some blue posed individuals, but instead it's a branch of athletic activity that brings out the best that’s in any person, It wast the sport itself that secured for it the name it once bore.

Miller says that this new addition to his flock of winners has many of his star's tricks stored away in his tool kit, is very aggressive, game, intelligent, docile, and modest. With these necessary qualifications, in addition to being a terrific hitter, with either hand, Walker believes "Sunny Jim" is due to become a prime favorite with the cash paying public. "Sunny Jim" has created a sensation on the Pacific Coast with spectacular fights against such stars as Bert Colima, Battling Ortega, Ray Palekey, Frankie Murphy and Gordon McKay. In his workouts at his Boston headquarters he has shown, in the eyes of sports writers, enough to convince skeptics of his ability. He has had one fight in Boston, after which he left for Chicago to fight on the 24 Walk Miller, uncanny manager of colored box-fighters, who so successfully piloted Theo. "Tiger e" Flowers to the top rung of the pilistic ladder and later brought Fighting Bob Lawson from an obscure place in fistic circles to fame within four months, lost no time in signing "Sunny Jim" to a long term contract upon his arrival in New York. Miller feels that he not only removed the possibility of his having to pit Flowers against Williams at a later date, but that he also has a fighter second only to Flowers in his opinion. A legitimate middleweight never over 100 pds., Sunny Jim is after the scalps of such fighters as Jack Malone, Jeff Smith, Lou Bogash, Frank Moody, Pal Reed, Tommy Robeson, Billy Britton, Ted Moore, Art Wiegand, Johnny Wilson, Jimmy Slatter, Dave Shade, Allen-town Joe Gans, Morrie Schilafer, Dave Rosenburg, Italian Joe Gans, and his manager says that he will prove his ability against the good ones. It is a well-known fact that Miller has always left the selection of opponents for his fighters to the promoters and he says there will be no exception made in the case of his new protege "Sunny Jim" Williams.

GRIFF-VETERAN OF 23 YEARS FORMER NATIONAL DOUBLES CHAMP WITH DR. DOWNING-HOLDER OF GUIDE SINGLE AND DOUBLES TROPHIES JOHN WARMING, THE ELONGATED ALSO IN THE LIME LIGHT Dempsey Ta Fights But Talking Of But 2d Raters Dempsey Talking Of Fights But 2d Raters --- --- BENEARD YOUNG TIDEMATER JUNIOR GUIDE TROPHY HOLDER (By Preston News Service) The loquacious Jack Dempsey heavyweight boxing champion of the world with reservations, has returned from abroad full of smiles and overburdened with diplomacy, but apparently with as much desire as ever to keep on the outside of any prizering ropes which might enclose him and a brown-hued gentleman from Louisiana, by the name of Mister Harry Wills. Life on the Montemarte has, however, made Jack a bit talkative, and he admits that for a sufficient number of rocks to float a bank, he is willing to fight any of the white second raters, with which the pugilistic market is surfeited. Will he fight Mister Wills? Well, says Mister Dempsey, on a never-do-today-that-which-you-can-put-off-until tomorrow basis, "after a while." Once upon a time (ignoring race as we always do whenever we can) we believed that Mr. Dempsey was a better man than Mr. Wills; but, actions speak louder than words, and after all these months of stalling, we are convinced that deep down in his heart Jack knows that Harry could knock the champion into the solar system. Jack is a better runner than Tommy Burns, a better talker than Gentleman Mim Corbett, a superior diplomat to Kid Levigne; but as a shock absorber, sportsman, and fighter, the comparison is odious; and we are forced to admit, without reservations, that our belief in Jack's pugilistic prowess has waned down to zero. We dare not prophesy the opinion that the champion will ever agree to put on gloves with Wills who is running the gamut of disappointment in his challenges to Dempsey. White supremacy must not, cannot fail; and when it might fail—well, the law of evasion steps in and makes it quit, cold, knocked to the mat, as it were, by Fear, the disturber of the peace of men and the undeniable master of nearmen. The spectacle of the slick-footed globe-trotting Dempsey is the saddest picture of might we have ever seen. Had such evasions been condoned in the days of Peter Jackson, George Dixon, John L. Sullivan, Bob Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey, the Marquis of Queensbury would have committed harikari, and Kid McCoy would now be the undisputed champion of the world. And if it were not condoned by the white sport world of today, it would probably be "Good Evenin' Mister Dempsey—the stars are shimming." Howard Athletics Helped And Hurt In One Accident In one stroke of misfortune, however regretable, athletics affairs at Howard University have been helped and hurt. Bob Miller, a much touted guard, has been injured in Helena, Arkansas, a fact which will weaken the possibilities of a winning team at Howard next season. But this is not all; Howard has been helped, it is believed, in that Miller's inability to play next season removes the occasion for the recent C. I. A. A. shakeup. The playing of Miller, who under the Association rules was ineligible, caused the Washington school and the remaining members of the intercollegiate association to disagree and then Howard withdrew. Now, however, with no chance to play the man, even though it is understood that, having been at Howard a year, Miller will be eligible next season, it is believed that Howard and the C. I. A. A. can reach a mutually agreeable plan of reconciliation. Automobile Overturns The accident occurred when the automobile in which Miller and two companions were riding run off the roadway, turning turtle several NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "CHILDREN" GEORGE WARD EXPONENT OF THE CHOP STROKE times. His companions were also hurt, and the Studebaker car demolished. Bob Miller has been removed from the Helena hospital, but is recovering slowly, it is reported. His brother, George Miller (another guard on the same eleven), returned recently to his home from Freedman's hospital in Washington, after undergoing an operation for appendicitis. Reports as to which Helena—Montana or Arkansas—were conflicting, some saying the Helena of one state and some of the other. Miller was the storm center in the football world last year. The big two-hundred pound guard played on the Virginia Union University eleven in 1923. He entered the Dumbar High School here at the beginning of the second semester in February, 1924. In the fall he matriculated at Howard University. Hampton and Virginia Normal protested against his playing on the Howard eleven against them. Lincoln threatened to call off the classic if Howard insisted upon playing him. Consequently he was withdrawn from the Thanksgiving Day game. His loss is a heavy blow to Howard University football aspirations. CALIFORNIA WILL PRODUCE NEXT TENNIS CHAMP BY EDGAR D. BROWN In 1923, on my initial visit to the Pacific Coast, I ventured my first prophecy. Again I repeat—On the hard concrete courts of California, where one can play the year round, a native son of this earthly paradise will come out of the West and sweep all before him with a winner tennis racket to be ultimately crowned at Forest Hills, N. Y., the world's single champion of the greatest international game. And as dainty Miss Helen Wills came and conquered, so some day will Miss Juliet Harris, or still another charming high-brown, of Los Angeles some day knock at the door of the world's championship entrance until it opens in a triumphant finale like only onto the historical leap of the incomparable DeHart Hubbard. I strongly acquiesce with Mr. Eilgren, the New York sport authority, and who only recently in the daily press, predicated that the Negro athletic must be accepted as a winner in other lins of sport in the future as Drew, Butler, Pollard Dismond, Wills, and Hubbard have demonstrated superb athletic prowess in competition with the world's best performers. At this moment it looks like Oakland is about to out-distance Los Angeles once anyway, David F. Sands, Leonard Richardson, (Atty.) Tom Jackson, Johnny Henderson, George Franklin, and a host of youngsters in the Bay City, constitute a team of modern scientific drivers and cannon ball service adherents who once across the Rocky Mountains and the Allegheny hills would leave many casualties along the Delaware River near Bordentown, N. J., about August 23, the week of the National tournament. Kemp, Garret, Reed, Forssyth and Miss Harris, of Los Angeles, would prove equally formidable back East on good hard clay courts, and I dare say unobstruct, if the East afforded concrete surfaces or even a few more good turf courts like the several being built at Elmira, the county estate of the Hon. Jno. T. Gibson, LL D., the Philadelphia theatre marquee. My advice to the adamant minded chopstroke artists who thrive on adverse court surfaces I mean those with holes, soft spots, and uneven places, that if they do not learn how to play orthodox tennis, the end for their monkey business --By Willey Johnson,jr STUMPY" RODINSON VETERAN OF MANY WARS AGE WARD CHOP and social pomp is not yet fath- omable. A half dozen California tennis experts could best our champion pat ball backhandless Chicago crack and his bosom "chronic", the perennial Washington net pushing, rushing, tennisiss, honor man of the Johnny Walker Tennis Club all day long. It is really a crime to call some of our professional men's playing in A. T. A. tournaments, a fair exhibition of black initiative and intelligence. But we are cheerful and encouraged. Russell Smith and Hudlin, of Chicago the Worde brothers of New Jersey Edward( Simmons, of Dayton Buddy Pierce of Indianapolis, Reginald Weir of New York, Rend Sands, and Jackson, of California will hurry the eternal setting of the sun on the old tennis fossils They deserve all honor as forerunners and may the praise of the Negro tennis annals be as magnanimous as my own personal records. The West from Seattle to San Diego is in a class by itself too when it comes to playing the host to visiting tennis players. There welcome is not confined to celebrities, Dr. Diggs, a regular good fellow from Chicago, but the "sorriest" sort of push ball rushing animal on a tennis court, has been accepted, wined, and dined as a royal tennis fan in Los Angeles. A special banquet, trips to the beaches, the mountains, Bill Wrigley's, Catalina, and an endless whirl at night, a tennis match with men in the morning, and the ladies in the evening. Messrs. Watson, Brooks, Dunn, Richardson, and a coterie of the most lovely ladies I have seen anywhere, really make the Western Tennis Federation on the Pacific Coast a haven of joy to the tennis enthusiast. It is my ambition to see many of our eastern and middle western players poor, good and indifferent, officials of the A. T. A as well, visit this land of truly hospitable people and perpetual sunshine in their homes as well as around the tennis courts. Attucks Has Super Bill The first half of this week at the Attucks Theatre was featured by some of the best pictures seen here in several weeks, with Pola Negri at her best in "The Charmer," and Bebe Daniels leading a star cast in "The Crowded Hour." The last half of this week and the first four days of next week will be equally good, perhaps even better, with three of the leading photo-dramas produced in recent months being shown. Friday and Saturday of this week "Pride of the Polomar," a super-special Paramount feature is a genuine thriller, according to every forecast. Every element of dramatic action, love, pathos, humor, pull at the heart strings during each reel. Gloria's Best and Latest On Monday and Tuesday of next week Gloria Swanson appears in the star role of the film she went to France to produce among the historic old walls of the French chateau. It is, according to movie critics, one of Gloria's best and most significant pictures. She is a lowly but proud washwoman for Napoleon before the French Revolution takes place and Napoleon becomes the man of destiny, but after that she becomes one of the self-made nobility. More mannerly court women attempt to snub her, but—oh, well, see it for yourselves. Its a dandy, with Miss Swanson and a supporting cast made of the screen's most popular actors and actresses. Thomas Meighan plays the leading part in "Old Home Week," to be shown Wednesday and Thursday. This picture has been labeled one of Meighan's best, which is saying a lot for it.

The SONS OF NORFOLK won the TROPHY last year and feel confident of keeping the honors on this side of the river, although expecting a much harder fought battle than last year, as the SONS OF PORTSMOUTH are bringing to bear all the reserve strength obtainable, determined to carry the TROPHY back home-backed up to the last man by their motto: WE MUST WIN.

Sons of Portsmouth Black Bill May Be Flyweight King Black Bill May Be Flyweight King May Be Matched With Frankie Genaro As Soon As The Commission Makes Genaro Champ, Which Is Likely. "Black Bill" may be the next flyweight champion, if reports from New York mean anything. Little Pancho Villa died in possession of his title and it rests with the New York Boxing Commission to name his successor; arrange a bout with the two leading contenders, the winner to be recognized as the king of his division. Frankie Genaro, Villa's most persistent challenger from the 'Little Italy' section of New York's Eastside, will likely be named as champion by the Commission. William Muldoon, senior member and former chairman of the Commission, said not long ago that the little fellow who won the Olympic flyweight championship for the U. S. at Antwerp in 1920 was entitled to succeed Villa, the late champ whose life was snuffed out on the operating table in San Francisco, and whose body now is crossing the Pacific on the way to his native haunts. There is rather general opinion in the boxing circles that Genaro is a fair choice to be named the successor, but the fair-minded experts agree that Black Bill's brilliant record outtitles him to an immediate match with Genaro for the title. This match is very likely, and would be one of the most memorable in the annals of featherweight battles, it is thought. An elimination tournament is unlikely because there are not enough first-class fellows in the flyweight division to take part. Few can make the weight long in this freak class. The next most logical contender for the title is Johnny McLarnin, on the coast, but he is filling out too rapidly and may soon be a featherweight—at least by the time he reaches his majority. One of the most colorful boxers to enter a boxing ring was Villa. A passion for clothes and music, an ability to strum a uke, and his disregard for money gained him a reputation before his fistic ability did. Villa would buy suits and shirts by the armful and then dis CALL YOUNG'S N. and P. BAGGAGE TRANSFER CO. Bus Phone 24242 Res. Phone 37061 CAR SERVICE Office: 730 A Ave., Norfolk, Va.

In its news releases for the week the Associated Negro Press carries an article which it vouchs for as a report of an authentic interview with President J. Stanley Durke, of Howard University, in which the president answers of the letter he received hurled at him from various sources. The respondent stated that in response to a request for an interview, Dr. Durke readily responded, stating that he had nothing to conceal and that he is working wholeheartedly for Howard University while being maligned and criticized. Doctor Durke said: "Doctor Durke said: "Yesterday I was reading some of the addresses of Abraham Lincoln and in his last public address, came to this very significant statement: 'As a general rule, I abstain from reading the report of attacks upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that to which I cannot properly offer an answer. In spite of this, I have ever come to my knowledge that I am much censured for some misconduct action.' "Mr. Lincoln then names the criticisms. These words and spirit so exactly fit the present occasion, that I am using them as my excuse for exposing the absolutely false and purposefully oppressive paganism used by ceramic people who, for causes well known to themselves and to all who care to think, are seeking to mislead and deceive the public. That such people would descend, as they have recently, to the low, low level even of attacking the President, is a form of standing, their competent meanness, their natural position historically speaking. "Of course there are students in Miner Hall, our Girl's Decymit, that neither the President nor Mrs. Darkke know. There are over 2000 students at Howard University. There is not an official, or a dean, who knows the students who know every one of the students. The students know their welcome to the home and the confidence of the President and Mrs. Darkke. In public and in private have they been invited to call up any and every facility of our home, or, for, any help in our power to give. Hundreds of students have accepted such open access to our land and from other lands, constantly come letters of personal gratitude and hearty thanks for help received. Deries Sinclair Story as Falsehood "I noticed in the Amsterdam N.Y. News of June 24, 1925, the following in large type: 'Rev. William Sinclair says President Durkeir叫 him (Kelly Miller) a Dirty Contempible Puppy'. It is a lie I care not who says it or who repeats it, the statement is a falsehood. There is no person living or dead who ever heard such words from the lips of the President of Howard University." With special reference to the effort to hold him personally responsible for the acts of the Board of Trustees of the United University Doctor Durkeir said: "Of course the 'drive' to make the President responsible for every act of the Trustees, once more reveals the animus behind the s who write and fabricate. The Trustees are final authority. The President, to the best of his ability, carries out the policies of the Trustees. Speaking for the Trustees, President Durkee declares, "that every recent move made by them has been for consolidation and efficiency. Not a place on the teaching staff left vacant by the Trustees," he states, "will be filled by recommendation of the President, cer- not until the numbers attending Howard shall greatly increase. As for the Congressional investigation of the work at Howard, he states he will welcome it as gladly as he welcomed the derided by the Trustees, "Anything wrong," he says, "needs to be Adam. Jesus Christ who creerighted." Doctor Just Not To Resign "To show the lengths to which these propagandists go to poison the public mind, they aid that Doctor Just is the next man schedule to go. If there be such a schedule it is made by these same receivers. Never by act or word or implication has the president of the trustees or any official at Howard suggested the resignation of Doctor Just. On the contrary within a few weeks, the President of Howard has backed Doctor Just in the heartiest manner for added honors in America. MONROE Monroe, N. C.—Mr. Solvertee McMann, Miss M.

"In a minute, Cap'n, I can't come now," were the dying words of Ed Marshburn, of New Bern, N. C. porter on the detailed Atlantic Coast Line combination train, No. 62, which went over on the sand banks at 3:15 p. m. Wednesday of last week after pulling out from Wilmington. Ed was responding to the call, "Come here Ed," which was frantically uttered by Conductor E. P. Wheatree. The mortally wounded porter had just crawled through the window of the overturned car, a victim of fractured skull and a slashed throat. He bleed profusely before leaving the car but was able to make his way into the open without assistance. After getting clear of the car Marshburn sank to the side of the tracks, dropping his head in his hand. It was then the conductor called to and received Washburn's dying answer. A moment later and the man fell forward to the ground. He was picked up and carried to the shade of a nearby bush where he died a few minutes later. Several other road employees and passengers were injured in the wreck. "In a minute, Cap'n; I can't come now," meant that Ed had the will to prove himself a hero, but mortal injury had put his body beyond answering to the will. He wanted just a minute to answer duty's call. PLEASANT RIDGE Pleasant Ridge, Va.-Rev. J. S.

Some merely to look the city over while other are laying plans from which they hope to reap great things during the coming Elks Convention. Last week the city had as its guest, J. Dalmus Steele of New York. Exalted Ruler of Manhattan Lodge of New York, business man in New York is a candidate for the position of Grand Exalted Ruler of Elks and promises to give the present head, J. Finley Wilson, a hard fight for that position. His plans are said to be to establish business enterprises fostered by the Elks in four of the leading cities of the country, but is not sure whether or not he garnered and prospective votes for himself for he did not include Richmond in this number. This he sees the visitor was Joseph Brigham of Monarch Monarch Lodge No. 45. He is a candidate for the position of Grand Esquire.

City Is Convention Struck Coming events cast their shadow before them and the very air in this city is surcharged with the word convention. In every part of the city there is something to remind one of the coming convention; every band, every orchestra, glee club and musical organization in the city is rehearsing day and night in preparation of that time. The installation oversees of the Narcissus Court. No. 229, Courts of Calanthe, was held at the Sharon Baptist Church Friday night. A very appropriate program was rendered. Picnics And Outings Galore This has certainly been a great season for outings and picnics. Hardly a week has passed since the first of June that there have not been two or more excursions to some point and all seem to do well. On Monday, Mount Mornibap Baptist Church ran the outing to the church and Trey McCarthy a large crowd all of whom seemed to enjoy the day. The big feature of the day was a splendid sermon at the church there. Monday night, the Saint John Watcheman ran a moonlight to Dutge. It was a very pleasant night for such an outing down the street, coupled with the popularity of the order of Waterman drew out a large crowd. Tuesday was Asteria day. That club carrying, from its usual custom of going to Claremont on its annual outing, went this year to Scotland, Va. It is usually a family affair with them as they cater especially to the entire family and make special provisions for children and ladies without escorts. The Asteria club has a great following and it goes without saying they carried a crowd. In the face of all these announcements everybody is waiting for the B. C's on August 3. This club known as "gloom chars" have also jugged two trains and have sold tickets to fill them. It is reported that they are trying to get the third train for the day so as to accommodate their friends. Everybody goes with the I. B. C's. Monday last, the three Methodist churches, the Bethel A.

Stella Quintet Sings Those who were in attendance at the Sunday school and morning service at the Second Baptist Church Sunday morning were accorded a care treat by the singing of a stella quintet, from the Dayton-Cookman Collegiate Institute, Daytona, Fla. They stopped in Richmond enroute back home after touring through the North. They were asked by many to remain here for a season and give a concert, but were unable to do so. These ladies showed, besides wonderful voices, exceptional training. Some of these same ladies were under the training of Madam Savilla E. Briggs of this city who for a session was musical instructor at this institution. Mrs. Fila A.

Carolinians vs. Virginians Many of the prominent North Carolinians residing in this city, particularly those who are interested in and keep up with the progress of that State, express a degree of pride and pleasure at the announcement that the University of North Carolina has included a Negro in its list of special lecturers as announced by that institution a few days ago. It is very rare that a Negro has a chance to lecture to white students in the South. In view of the friendly rivalry that has always existed between the Negroes of Virginia and North Carolina, the North Carolinians say that it is such a contrast now between the two states, that while a Negro is being elected to lecture to white students in a white University in North Carolina, the white people of Virginia, or some of them have broadside against the affiliation of white people in any personal capacity with Negro educational or social welfare work."

HEARD 'ROUND TOWN By A. WITT Willey Johnson jr., says the softest job in the world is picking a rooster's teeth. The girl who thinks no man is good enough for her is often right but she's more often left. 200 She may sing like a nightingale in church and scratch like a cat at home. A beautiful woman is beautiful in some of her moods; a man is always a man. AMERICA (As it may be sung) My country's dry to me, This land of liberty Is closed up tight! No matter where I go The answer's always "NO" Unless I shyly show That I'm all right. Some natives over here Can only drink near-beer. But I don't care, For out among the hills There are some "Private" stills My heart with rapture thrills— I know just where! Let music swell the breeze But that will not appease Thirst like a stein! Let mortal tongues awake, For there's a way to make The cottersign. Our father's Son mado wine, St. Paul pronounced it fine For human ills But solons of today. Control your lives, so they Take all our drinks away And give us frills! Solid Ivory, says Euric Peters isn't worth any more than com- mon wood when it comes to human heads. First Actress: You say your brother has an impediment in his speech and yet he is deaf and dumb? Second Actress: Yes. You see he was in an accident and lost two fingers. The only way to cure yourself of love is to run away with a girl. An optimist is a man who hopes he gets run over by a doctor's auto. Birds of a feather knock together. Some folks have no sense of humor, and others have a sense of bad humor. What's funnier than a little man all dressed up in a lodge uniform with a plumed hat, and embarrassed? Never put off until tomorrow what you should have done the day before yesterday. It is odd how women continue to sling beauty clay when they know how little mud has done for the turtle.

Indian Truth, an Indian newspaper, is fighting the classification of Indians as Negroes under the Virginia racial integrity law. We don't blame the Indians for fighting the classification and we hope they may win, as we do not want to be classed with Indians or as Indians. There is nothing in the Indian character or history to warrant them being classed with the Afro-American who has helped make this Nation what it is in war and peace. We sympathize with the Indian but we do not need to be classed with him, as him, or of him. Like the mule he appears to have had no past and to have no future. We have a past, a present and a future in this country. The Negro who in any way forces his attentions upon a white woman is a dangerous member of our group, and deserves no sympathy when he gets into trouble. And the white man who in any way forces his attentions upon our women is equally a dangerous character. Both sorts of men are out of place in a situation where the color line in social matters is drawn tight and each should be made to "shinny on his own side." There was no law covering the case of Augustine Lasane for handing a note to a young white woman, but the court made a law out of the fact alleged that in doing so he "pressed down firmly" the note in her hand and was thus guilty of "technical assault." That is making law by the court, which is dangerous business. Lasane was sentenced to two years. We do not sympathize with him, but if the case were properly appealed we believe it would be overruled. In the absence of law the Court has no authority to make law.

An All-Round Compliment The coolness displayed by Norfolk people in connection with the brutal slaying of young Harold Gregory, and the serious wounding of his father by one of three colored gunmen who attempted to rob the elder Gregory's store Saturday night was certainly complimentary to the citizens here. Within six hours after the shocking crime the alleged desperadoes were in custody of the police. It remains unclear. The coolness displayed by Norfolk people in connection with the brutal slaying of young Harold Gregory, and the serious wounding of his father by one of three colored gunmen who attempted to rob the elder Gregory's store Saturday night was certainly complimentary to the citizens here. Within six hours after the shocking crime the alleged desperadoes were in custody of the police. It requires no undue stretching of the imagination to appreciate what would have followed similar circumstances in many other Southern communities. But the people here remained cool and not only complimented themselves but admirably evidenced their confidence in the efficacy of their laws and in the functioning of their courts. No one, however, expected Norfolk to act otherwise. On numerous previous occasions citizens here have been aroused to high indignation by revolting crimes, but the fate of the culprits has always been left to the law and the courts. Time and again Norfolk has disproved the contention that lynching is ever a necessary evil. Incidentally the police department again comes in for high commendation for the way it functioned in connection with this dastardly crime. The work of the detectives was swift, smooth and direct. It was a credit to the department. Here was a piece of police work that ranks high in the records of criminology. And there was something expressive of the justice, as well as the majesty of the courts in the calm decision of Judge Shackleford and Commonwealth Attorney Wilcox to neither hasten nor delay the trial of the men, but to let it take the regular course of important criminal cases. The courts here have demonstrated that they tolerate no unreasonable delays and neither do they sanction the railroading that sometimes results from hasty trials. Last, but not least, those colored people who tried, vainly in most cases, nevertheless sincerely, to aid the detectives in getting on the track of the gunmen must be complimented. They showed a fine spirit. It is much easier to aid the police when there is general assurance that the offenders will be dealt with by the law and not by the mob. Editorial Page of "Mixed Faculties In Negro Schools" Under the above caption the Virginian Pilot, which has been notably fair and conservative on the race question, makes the following comment: Under the above caption the Virginian Pilot, which has been notably fair and conservative on the race question, makes the following comment: "In the present flurry of excitement over the way Hampton Institute deals with the race question is fresh evidence of the unwisdom, at least in the South, of staffing Negro educational institutions in part with white teachers and administrative officers. There are weighty historic and financial and educational reasons for the presence of whites in Hampton's faculty and administrative staff, but these do not dispose of the fact that the mixture of races in such an enterprise creates a difficult social situation. A genuine and permanently harassing difficulty will be removed when all Southern Negro colleges and training schools, Hampton included, are taught and staffed exclusively by men and women of the same race with the students. Those colored institutions in the South that have this racial identity between students and teachers enjoy the largest freedom from racial difficulty. That is a kind of peace worth acquiring, even at the expense of a temporary loss in scholastic efficiency, due to the difficulty in finding adequately trained colored teachers for some of the specialties that these institutions are called upon to teach." There is always food for thought in the editorial opinions of the Virginian-Pilot, even though it may appear that in this instance its conclusions were arrived at without due consideration for the source from which the "flurry of excitement" comes, and the splendid benefits which have accrued to the South from Hampton's fifty years' record under its present teaching and administrative system. And why should Hampton be singled out as an example of the "unwisdom, at least in the South, of staffing Negro educational institutions with white teachers and administrative officers," when public sentiment sustains Richmond in staffing all of its Negro schools with white principals; when the State staffs its school for the Negro Blind and Deaf with white teachers and administrative officers; when the State staffs its sanatorium for the treatment of Negro tubercular patients with white physicians and internes and nurses; when the State staffs its hospital for the treatment of Negro insane with white physicians and internes. Is it because at Hampton Negroes are treated as human beings and at the other places they are treated as inferior human beings? The seal of approval has been set upon Hampton Institute quite recently by such men as President Alderman of the State University, Dr. James Hardy Dilliard, Dr. S. C. Mitchell and Dr. Eggleston, former State Superintendent of Education and now president of Hampden-Sidney College. If Virginia cannot follow these tried and true patriots and statesmen in shaping its educational policies, pray whom should it look to for leadership—John Powell, Dr. Pleeker, Major Cox and W. S. Copeland—shakers of the bloody shirt?

Concerning the animated discussion going on in the Newport News Daily Press and other State papers over the demand of the Newport News paper that the students at Hampton be jim crowed in public meetings at the school as a matter of policy and as a part of the educational program of the school, Mr. J. Thomas Newsome, a Newport News lawyer, addressed the following protest to the editor of the Daily Press: Concerning the animated discussion going on in the Newport News Daily Press and other State papers over the demand of the Newport News paper that the students at Hampton be jim crowed in public meetings at the school as a matter of policy and as a part of the educational program of the school, Mr. J. Thomas Newsome, a Newport News lawyer, addressed the following project to the editor of the Daily Press: "Does any Hampton student seek to force himself upon any man or woman in a social way?" "Is it the opinion of the Daily Press that racial strife helps to make either the white race or the black race better men and women, obeying the divine injunction to love one another?" To which the editor of the Daily Press replied at some length, vigorously asserting his friendship for the colored race and for Hampton Institute, calling upon his correspondent and Mr. Matt N. Lewis, another prominent colored neighbor of his to testify to the genuineness of his friendship. To further prove that he is no demagogue the editor quoted the following reference to Hampton in a paragraph in his original article: To which the editor of the Daily Press replied at some length, vigorously asserting his friendship for the colored race and for Hampton Institute, calling upon his correspondent and Mr. Matt N. Lewis, another prominent colored neighbor of his to testify to the genuineness of his friendship. To further prove that he is no demagogue the editor quoted the following reference to Hampton in a paragraph in his original article: "This institution trains its students well in morals, manners and handicraft and there is not a better behaved set of students in the United States, not one of whom, we are informed, has ever been arrested for crime or disorderly conduct." But the editor failed to quote all that he said in that very paragraph of that memorable article. This is what he said in the concluding sentence of that paragraph: But the editor failed to quote all that he said in that very paragraph of that memorable article. This is what he said in the concluding sentence of that paragraph: "And the officers and teachers of the institution are men and women of high character and exemplary conduct. But all that enhances the danger which this article is designed to point out and there is a still greater danger in the public schools." (Italics ours.) Now will Mr. Copeland explain to the world just what he meant by that last sentence? What did he mean by linking up the public schools with his statement? If Now will Mr. Copeland explain to the world just what he meant by that last sentence? What did he mean by linking up the public schools with his statement? If he was not aiming at all Negro education and all Negro schools what did he mean by saying that there is danger in training Negro students "well in morals, manners and handicraft" exceeded in good behavior by no set of students in the United States, and trained by officers and teachers of "high character and exemplary conduct?" If the same menace exists in the public schools as he claims exists at Hampton, how does he explain it since the same conditions do not exist in the public schools that are true of Hampton? Will he dare make himself clear on that point?

SANDWICH SPREADS Bacon or Ham Butter Fry thin slices of lean bacon or ham until crisp. Lift the It seems that the whole trouble is that Mr. Copeland applied for reserved seat tickets to an entertainment at the school, and the principal made the "polite but firm response that it could not be done consistently with the policy of the institution." The entertainments are held for the benefit of the students, as a part of their training, and it is not intended that the public should crowd them out of the hall. It appears that Mr. Copeland wants to injure the usefulness of a very splendid institution by public agitation of a very small matter which could have been settled privately, if he had exercised a little patience and forbearance. Norfolk County's Shame That is startling information disclosed in that letter by "Norfolk County Citizen" addressed to the editor of the Virginian-Pub and which is reprinted in a news article in another column of this paper. The writer makes an urgent and sympathetic plea at least a semblance of justice for the colored people of Deep Creek township, Norfolk County, in the matter of apportionment of public school funds. There is no wonder that he is moved to plead, for the situation his letter describes, outrages the remote conception of fair play and ought to share those who are responsible for it. Undoubtedly, it amounts to the worst travesty up civic justice that has come to our attention in some time. The situation, aside from being travesty, exposes a chief inconsistent in the Southern white man's thinking in relation to the Negro. Here is a township in Norfolk County, Virginia, in which all the county schools over a period of 50 years have resented $500.00 in physical improvements on the one Negro school building, the last in provement at the county's expense having been made in 1884, forty-one years ago. The same township in the past 20 years the school boards have expended approximately $100,000 in enlargements and improvements on the school for white children, having voted an entire $60,000 bond issue which must be paid by colored as well as white taxpayers, to this exclusive purpose. This is and has been the case, in spite of the fact that for the past 25 years the colored people have persistently importuned each successive school board for enlargements to relieve crowding, and in spite of the fact that the population of the county is about equal white and colored. That is the travesty. In the South colored people are expected at all times to demean themselves according to approved standards of conduct. When ever they fail to make the grade morally intellectually or physically, they are in mediately branded as inherently inferior to the whites, who are given every opportunity to improve upon their heritage of sever centuries of culture. That is the inconsistency. The situation at Deep Creek constitutes shameful blotch upon all that is fair and just in Virginia. Enlightened and Christian public sentiment should not suffer it to be so.

In the face of clouds of live steam from the wrecked locomotive he closed the door of his car and saved the others instead of himself. The steam took Oscar into its arms of agony and handed him over to death.

SANDWICH SPREADS Bacon or Ham Butter Fry thin slices of lean bacon or ham until crisp. Lift the slices from the fat and pound to a paste on a meat board. Add enough butter to make a smoothly spreading paste. To two tablespoons of paste add one teaspoon of horseradish or mustard. Anchovy Butter Place half a cup of butter in a bowl. Add one tablespoon of pounded anchovies and the strained juice of half a lemon. Mix well together. Keep in a cool place for future use. Sardine Butter Take one-fourth cup of butter, four large sardines, skinned and boned, and one teaspoon of lemon juice. Pound these into a smooth paste. When using this paste, spread one half of the sandwich with the paste and the other half with mashed hard boiled egg or a thin layer of minced onion. Lobster or Crab Butter Pound to a paste one small can of the best lobster or crab (or the equivalent of a small can if you use the fresh fish) and one half cup of butter. Season lightly with pepper. When using this butter for sandwiches, spread one piece of bread with mayonnaise and the other piece with the lobster or crab mixture. Put a lettuce leaf or thin slice of cucumber between the two. Cheese Butter Mash together one-half cup of American cheese and one-half cup of butter. When using this butter, spread one-half of the sandwich with this mixture and the other half with a tart jelly. Either crackers or salines or bread can be used. Also any pungent cheese can be used instead of the American cheese if desired. Date Butter Mix one cup mashed dates, and one-half cup of butter with the oil squeezed out of the rind of a lemon. Mash these together into a paste. When using this butter spread it thickly on bread or crackers. Lemons may be preserved from decaying by keeping in a jar of cold water which is renewed every 24 hours.

It may be that Oscar Daniels did what he did without thinking. It may be that it was all over before he consciously thought at all. It may be that the grooves of duty to those for whom he was responsible held his actions when actions counted most for them—and most for him because of them. But however these things may be, no man, he he black or brown or white, need hesitate to take off his hat as he enters the sleeping-car that Oscar Daniels rechristened with sacrifice. Leadership is something which most of us aspire to. But few of us are endowed for this important task. The qualifications are rigid and many times they are more severe than we expected. To be able to follow is more important in leadership than the knack of leading. Fundamentally, leadership evolves around some ideal. The individual who is able to see the popular mind in advance becomes the star to which the chariots are hooked. To become a leader all that is necessary is to convince one person that one is right, the rest Saturday, July 25, 1925 follow like sheep. This is but natural and is the mere expression of mob psychology. For the leader to continue as the spokesman for a group he needs but utilize the popular ideas into some sort or program, digest it to suit himself but color it to make it seem pretty and his audience is his willing slave. Good leadership is concerned essentially with the social good. The prime characteristics are intelligence, ability to express or enunciate the ideals clearly and then to carry them out. "Up From Or Down Dr. Charles Talks Evolution Abandoned by Lea There are certain physical attributes of leadership which help to control the crowd but they are not always necessary, such for example as a large stature, great physical strength. These things are useful but may be done without. Wise leadership accounts for progress. Ability Counts Many sincere Negroes seem to feel that there is some overwhelming and inevitable and sure advantage in being white. That is they feel that somehow, in some way, if they could only be white their troubles, financial, industrial, social and cultural would be over. They seem to feel that the white race is where it is simply because of the color of its skin. They are fatalists living always in the grip of the belief that blackness is a curse from which no Negro need try escape. He cannot escape this curse, say they, as long as his skin is black. These people, both the sincere and the merely foolish, do not seem able to envisage the true situation. Ability does count regardless of race or color. Brains do win despite the coincidence that they may be enclosed in a peculiarly shaped skull crowned with crinkly hair. Soft speech will benefit one even though it rolls across lips not so thin as those of the Nordic. And on the other hand, there are white men who are common laborors and white women who are dishwashers. They are on the same mental level as most of the Negroes who feel that they would be something great if they were only white.

Health Notes (By Associated Negro Press.) Preventable Deafness A recent editorial in the Washington Times says, that "There are many cases of deafness from birth or early infancy, some due to microbes that attack a new born-child. Twenty-five per cent of such attacks come from heredity, venereal blood disease—one of the worst enemies of the human race and one of the most dreadful punishments of vice." Deafness of such origin may be total or partial, and it is usually an affliction of the internal ear. The defect is often not recognized until the child fails to "Up From Monkey Or Down From God" Dr. Charles Satchel Morris Talks on Evolution Evolution Abandoned And Denounced by Leading Scientists Moses said thirty-five hundred years ago: "God made man out of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul." Moses never retracted that statement on his dying bed, and Paul in Romans five and First Corinthians 15, bases all the plan of redemption on the fact that we all fell in Adam, Jesus Christ who created Adam—John 1:3—settles the matter when he said speaking to the Jews—Matthew 19:3—"Have ye not read, He which made them in the beginning made them male and female?" When he asked them have ye not read he was O. King Gen. 1 and 2. That is final, the last word has been spoken for the man or woman who believes that Jesus Christ is God and therefore omniscient and the Truth. They can send out a thousand expeditions hunting the "missing link" but it and the three million other "missing links" necessary to connect man with the protoplasm will still be missing. Now over against that oft challenged but unchanged and unchangable record I want to record the shifting grounds, the frequent changes, the forced admission, the abandoned positions, the mutual contradictions of scientists—nay the deathbed confession of Darwin himself, and in the light of the contradictions, the confessions, absurdities "eight hundred we may well supposes" of Darwin and the forced confession of Huxley when his "bioplast bluff" was called. Ask the plain man and, woman of common sense who reads these articles are you going to dare to call your Maker a liar because the godless evolutionist says He is? For that's what evolution does. It is saying God lied when he said he made man out of the dust of the earth, and if evolution could prove that man evolved from the protoplasm, evolution would prove God a liar. And if God prevents the evolutionist from getting matter, life or species except in the way Moses says in Genesis first chapter then God proves the evolutionists are not only liars, but presumptious liars. But I must stop denouncing the evolutionist and prove him absurd or I will be as bad is he. His stock in trade is learned assertion lacking proof and if you dare say you have simply asserted that—now for the proof he gets real mad and hits you over the head with his walking stick "the scholars are agreed" or goes to denouncing William Jennings Bryan. Before I take up the leading scientists of all the civilized countries of the world I want to quote something more from the founders and champions of the evolutionary theory to show that they in their old age and facing facts and eternity practically abandoned evolution. Professor Charles Lyell the eminent geologist says, "In the year 1806 the French Institute enumerated not less than eighty geological theories which were hostile to the scriptures; but not one of these theories is held today." Prof. Luther T. Townsend says: "There is no science that has led the public thought so far astray as has that of talk, the attack of syphilis being unexpected and somewhat elusive. Syphilis deafness, says the United States Public Health Service, need not be profound, but its gradual or sudden effect on the hearing capacity of the afflicted child often spells economic and social disaster, and it usually reduces life to an obscure and baffling existence. Fortunately, considerable progress has been made in the treatment of deafness of venereal origin, and the future promises still greater in its elimination. The early detection of diseased blood in the expectant mother is essential, so that the possible ear damage of the child may be prevented by adequate treatment of the mother before the birth of the child. The preparation and widespread dissemination of information relating to the prevalence, the detection and the prevention of venereal diseases is a most essential and productive health measure to which the United States Public Health Service devotes special attention. geology especially with teaching of poorly legged and university I will show that he abandoned practicallyition he had taken by he came to his neck Darwin's Abandoned Tions In one of the battles of the "dissent of the Desert" of his young Scopes exuberant heard of because he be Darwin never said from the same stock as Darwin wrote: "The genitors of man were (mark the 'no' descent with hair, both seated beards).
