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!"

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.

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.

WANT PROFESSOR DULLOCK RETAINED T A. & T. COLLEGE Inculate Petition In Behalf Of Instructor Who Is Slated To Go At Close Of Present Session. A petition signed by a number North Carolina school teachers and appeared in a recent issue of the Greensboro Daily News gives information that Prof. B. F. Bullock's services at A. and T. College will be discontinued at the end of the present session. These teachers, who have just been in attendance at the summer school at College express deep regret for the coming separation of Prof. Bullock from the school and thus published petition are making urgent appeal that his services retained at A. and T. College. Their petition pays a splendid tribute to Prof. Bullock, his educational qualifications, his teaching ability and to his general charm. He says: "We the 'Colored Teachers' of North Carolina, attending the preschool summer school session of the agricultural and Technical College, Greensboro, N. C., have withdrawn from great sorrow that B. F. Bullock's service at this institution will be discontinued at the end of this present session. Natalie Carolina has taken a formal step in education and outward Christian men and women should be on guard at all of Negro institutions lest we take backward step. Proof, Bullock is a follower of the Booker T. Washington idea of 'Casting down your basket where you are,' and a slogan is 'Industrial Education.' He has put forth careers at inducing the various vocational groups to cultivate the skills of theft among the people whom they work. Born on an Eastern North Carolina farm, this young man has his own efforts uphold by the arts and encouragements of our working parents, completed courses and graduated from the university of agricultural colleges of the university—the University of Minnesota and Cornell University. He won his way into the hearts of men and women, boys and girls in section of the State and he won the profound confidence of superior officers both in Washington and in Raleigh. It is gratitude to many of us that his has a shining example of what an able North Carolina country boy can achieve; and his most efforts to spread the doctrine of industrial education and true nobility of labor commands the hearty approval. we, the teachers, may work where we, the teachers, this State, and suggest that the man in anually take note and see to it that he be kept in his native State we and the people of our own communities may be inspired him to deeds of noble heights. we are in love for North Carolina and this North Carolina man, Sincerely yours.

The petition was unanimously filed at the Chapel exercises in presence of Supt. A. T. Allen, II. (Associated Negro Press.) Stirling, Ill., July 23—Despite the county of the Klan and the institution which Negroes are opposed to harbor in respect to organization the Sterling baseball team in this section of the conventions challenged the local Ku'o outfit for a game to be played for a side purse during the demonstration at the end of month. On the day after the game was issued the Browns called the Sterling Stars, a team which had not been denied this season. Says Her Son Was Too Young To Lead Desperadoes (Continued from Page One) described the robbers as young colored men. Saturday night the Detective Department set a night watch over a wide area of the city in which is included a number of small grocery stores. Inspector Petty, chief of the detectives, had reasoned that one of these watched stores would likely be the scene of the next hold up. The picked detectives held guard until the watched stores closed and nothing unusual happened. They returned to headquarters. They had scarcely reported in, however, when reports reached headquarters of an attempted robbery and murder of the corner of Chapel and Calvert streets. An automobile load of detectives was rushed to the scene. Arriving they found young Harold Gregory dead behind the counter; his father seriously wounded and a young colored man dead on the sidewalk. How It Happened How it all happened is told in the alleged confession of three men arrested in less than six hours later, two of whom admitted having been participants with the dead colored man in the attempted robbery of the store, police say. Thomas Evans, the dead bandit was shot by mistake, according to the alleged confessions. The Gregory lad was killed when he declined to obey the command "stick 'em up," and the elder Gregory was shot when he grappled with one of the gunmen. Ward and McMillian are the men, who the police say, admit of having been in the robbery. White, they say, was not in on this gagade, but had former criminal connections with the gang. an uncanny silence, peered through the class door panels, walked over and looked down on the spot where the dead bandit is said to have hain and invariably muttered, "pity, pity." A Guide reporter made a general tour over a wide area of the colored section Sunday morning, sizing up sentiment, and he found it just this: Practically everybody hoping the murderer-brothers would be specially caught, and all those knowing of their alleged capture, expressing thankfulness that such deserados had been finally cornered. This sentiment was not confined to the sections in which the better element of colored people live, but was decidedly, remarkably evidenced in sections generally regarded as borders of the underworld. Really, it would have been difficult to格斯cape up an ounce of sympathy for the bandit Sunday morning in the upstown section. The killing was the thing that seemed to have aroused strong condemnation. In Police Court Monday morning the usual police court crowd was almost doubled. It was generally known that the youthful desperadoes would be arraigned for a preliminary hearing. In the court room, the atmosphere was tense, but there were no demonstrations of any kind. It was chiefly a curious crowd, beent on getting a glimpse of the alleged robbers and murderers. The anxiety of the crowd was not to be long, for the men were quickly called to the bar. When they faced Judge Spindle, it was easy to observe that although feigning to be carefree, they were suffering terrible mental strain. They were not represented by counsel in Police Court and waived a hearing. When led back to the pen, one of them, McMillian attempted to affect a smile, however. Undoubtedly all of them were conscious of what may be regarded as their certain fate. The men are youthful and look it. Ward appears boyish. He seemed to take his predicament less seriously than the others. From the Police Court to the jail they were marched, each man being grasped by a detective. That was a sight that might have been a lesson for every potential criminal. Bold and daring terroirs these men had been, the police alleges, yet in capture they were meek and as gentle as a canary. Many spectators were heard to remark, "it don't pay, it don't pay," meaning a life of crime. Mother's Statement Mrs. Georgiana Brown, 425, Cedar Lane, mother of Thomas-Evans Brown, in an interview with a Guide reporter said her hands were clean. She had striven her best to fear her son as respectful citizen, she said, by both example and instructions. She is the mother of five other sons, two older than the dead boy, one of whom is blind, and three considerably younger. The children are fatherless, but the older sons are full grown and stalwart men. They appear to be a family of hard working people, except the blind brother, who is led about by one of the younger children. There is also a young sister, they live in their modest tenement in Cedar Lane. The family, appears to be devoted to each other, and evidently they are, for the grown sons are still living with their mother. When the reporter visited the house at night the older members of the family appeared to have just returned from work. Mrs. Brown said Thomas lived in an exemplary life before the family moved to the city. He was reared in Oedan View, where he was born, she said. He went to live with a white family when quite young and was returned to his mother following the death of the white woman, the mother stated. Mrs. Brown said she talked with her wayward son nightly and warmed him against the pool room gang. Once she broke off his pool room hanging out on account of his youth, in being a minor, but it was not for long, she explained.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE cronally had a job, his mother said, and was regarded as industrious until bad associates got the better of him. He was devoted to his sisters and brothers, she explained, and was loved by her and them. None of them even suspected their son and brother was leading a life of crime, she told the reporter and was struck dumb when news of his death in a hold-up reached tactic cars. The police and Evans alleged confederates charge that his was the directing brain of the many holdups in which it is believed he figured, but his mother thinks not. Her son was the younger of the trio of robbers and she feels certain that he was under the influence of one of the older men when she armed. Inspector of Detectives Petty is of the opinion that all of the benefits were amateurs. He said their crimes would never have been so daring had they been professionals. Only members of the family followed the remains of Thomas Evans Brown to its final resting place. There was no church funeral service. A preacher, who is said to push a bread wagon about the streets for his daily occupation, volunteered to pronounce the burial rites at the grave.

In its first year's existence this club staged a club tournament, sent four representatives to the State tournament, and cooperated with this paper in staging a Tidewater tournament. We do not not doubt that many other cities are doing the same thing. Junior Competition Last summer in the local Tide Junior section. The same will be and Southeastern tournaments. The tournament will be among the juniors, and it is a step In the first place, a champion islature, through all the ups and one pick up a racquet and instantly sooner members of the tennis frater the sooner we can expect the game Last summer in the local Tidewater open tournament there was a Junior section. The same will be true this summer in the Tidewater and Southeastern tournaments. This is the first time, it is understood that a Southern state or interstate meet has provided for competition among the juniors, and it is a step that will bring noteworthy results. In the first place, a champion is evolved, despite the Tennessee leg ilature, through all the ups and downs from the raw material. No one picks up a raquet and instantly becomes a winner. Therefore, the sooner members of the tennis fraternity learn and practice good tennis the sooner we can expect the game to progress. Tennis Among the Opposite Sex With ladies singles, ladies do the events of practically every why the members of the female seriously and begin to enjoy the flashing drive. A very encouragement at present in Norfolk among them, but they all show a deep interest be that Norfolk will have some chance of winning—at the Southside can be worked out, there will be in the Tidewater tournament. With ladies singles, ladies doubles and mixed doubles listed in the events of practically every tournament there is abundant reason why the members of the female sex should take the game more seriously and begin to enjoy the thrill of "nacing" someone with a flashing drive. A very encouraging interest is being manifested just at present in Norfolk among the girls and ladies. Some are beginners and some are experienced. It is not easy to be that Norfolk will have some representatives—and they have a good chance of winning—at the Southeastern tourney, and certainly, if plans can be worked out, there will be members of the fairer sex entered in the Tidewater tournament. FLOWERS STILL TAKING ON HIS WEEKLY BOUTS Flowers is still taking on fights every week, sometimes several times every week. He was due to hit Boston Monday night for a scheduled 10-round affair with scrapping Pat McCarthy. He thinks his recent vacation has enabled him to fight twice in the same week, for he is scheduled for Chicago Friday night, the 21st. Both Boston and Chicago are clated over the chance to see the Georgia Cyclone mix it with capable opponents, as both McCarthy the Boston fighter and Lou Bogush, who Perry made in the Windy City, are recognized as being. Chicago Will Turn Out The announcement of Tiger Flowers' bout in Chicago, according to reports, has created quite a stir among the lower of the boxing game. Since the appearance of Flowers at East Chicago when he decisively walloped Jack Malone, Promoter Sager and Matchmaker JM Mulhen have received many inquiries from fans as to the next showing of the great colored boy in the Chicago territory. He needs on introduction, as his record speaks for itself. He has defended such boys as Harry Grub, the middleweight champion of the world; Ted Moore, Panama Joe Gans and a host of others too numerous to mention. He has knocked out such boys as Johnny Wilson former middleweight champion; Tut Jackson, Tommy Roberson, Jim Flynn and many other boxes equally well known. He is called the "whitest black man in the game" and is probably the most interesting personality before the public today. He is a wonderful boxer, fast and clever, with a fierce hand. He is one of the finest boxers in the history of pugilism and a real credit to boxing and to his race. Lou Bogash, who meets the sensational fighter, is a boxer with a record on a par with the Georgian's. Through a long ring career he has met the best boys in the game and as high lights of his record he holds a decision over the champion. Juss Delaneau, who in turn knocked out Paul Bertenbach, the present light heavyweight champion of the world. These two boys have met before and in the bout in Boston Bogash had Flowers on the floor five times. It goes without, saying that when these two meet in the little pine bowl at Aurora the fans will see the greatest bout of the season. Flowers is determined to show Bogash the Connecticut boy is equally determined to hand out the same treatment to the Tiger that he gave Jack Delaneau. This show will undoubtedly draw the banner-house of the season. The capacity of the arena is limited and, those who plan on attending are urged to get their tickets early. The main go will be supported by the usual number of high class preliminaries. Jim Mullen is now arranging the balance of the card and the complete program will be announced soon.

Only To Be Fushed Back Into The Dust. Getting away at a first chip tramping down the green tuff of Paige's Park, Berkley, like the rush of a thundering herd, the Belville Saints lambasted the Berkley Elks, amassing a four-run lead as the result of timely bingles and finally sweeping on through the nine innings and rummaging in the big end of the score in 1961. The Saints drew blood early in the first stanza when J. S. Plummer was given a free trip to first Chase sacrificed to advance the man on bag. A wild throw by an Elk outfielder scored the runner Roberts first trip up to the bag and he placed the willem on the apple for a circuit ride. This rapid fire hitting was continued through the first inning until a total of four runs were made. Hill on the mound for the Berkley team was ineffective and the Saints punched him groggy. The Elks pushed across a tally in their half of the first and in the second spasm Hill and the visitors in leash but the Saints had found their way and nothing like Hill could stop their merry spree. In the fourth, the Bellville boys ran completely wild and pounded the local moundsmill and make him like it. They scored five runs in this inning and the Elks had also annexed another score which made their total the enormous sum of 2 runs. The Elks, after finding that Hill was not strong enough to do anything with the rampaging Saints, sent Johnson, star twirler for the Scrapping Bookers to the mound in the fifth frame. From the fifth to the last period, Johnson gave up three scattered hits, but the Saints were held in check and did not secure any more. Johnson got wieder up support from his matts. It was much better than the support that was given Hill. From the first to the fifth Hill gave up five hits and they were good enough for ten runs. The Berkley队 stage a dangerous rally in the ninth inning and threatened to catch the lead established by the visiting team. Two more runs were added to their four in the last inning, but the Saints shut down on the Elks and their misery was put to an ease. The outstanding feature of the game was the Palmer for the Saints in each of four chances he accepted all in a style that brought the applause of the crowd.

Wills Challenged,Refuses To Fight French Boxer Southeastern Net Tourney Expected to Be Best Ever Offered 810,000 For a 12- Round Go; Claims He Is In Europe To Rest And Not To Indulge In Swapping Blows Harry Wills made it very plain that he and his wife are in Europe to have a happy time vaci- tioning and vacations are solly for the purpose of getting away from the routine of breadwinning. Wills made this known when he was approached by Francis Des- camps, manager of Georges Carpenter, the idol of France, with a challenge calling for a fight with the French manager's new protege, a Spanish heavyweight who an- swers to the name of Proline, descamps his wife to a 12- pound mill for a paltry sum of 810,000, the mill to be staged somet- ime in September. In commenting on the challenge Wills is quoted as having said, "Descamps has been in the United States just enough to learn a few tricks of advertising. His offer to me will boost his man and he can offer to make it, because he knows I won't accept. From the above it seems that Wills knows a few tricks also, Ranking Players of the South eastern Section Will Enter Meet Fostered By Va. Association. BY P. BENNARD YOUNG, JR. Every player in the Southeast, including all territory south of Baltimore, Md., and east of the Mississippi river, will be entered in the Southeastern Championship Tennis Tournament, fostered by the Virginia Tennis Association, a member of the American Tennis Association, which has sanctioned the meet if he or she can possible. The team that finds it humanly possible to do so, never before in the history of Negro tennis in the Southeast has such an elaborate program for tennis and entertainment been planned, and never have so many prized and beautifully designed trophies, been offered to the winners of the five events listed. The tourney is dated for August 17 to Journal and Guide Offers Cup The Norfolk Journal and Guide is offering a handsome silver cup to the winner in one of the events, a cup that becomes the permanent property of the player winning it three times in competition, a cup that becomes the winner engrained upon it each time it is won in the tournament. Present plans are to make this trophy emblematic of the single championship, but it is probable that the donor may have it offered to another event, probably the next one. If the committee expresses a preference for this event. Many Other Trophies: Many Other Trophies: Dr. J. L. McGriff and Dr. F. D.

Dr. Downing has offered a cup to be awarded the winner of the ladies singles championship; Dr. McGriff offers a silver cup for the winner of the Junior singles, a new event in the tournament which was sug- gested to the Association by the Journal and Guide; Dr. J. L. Barden gives the better singles champ. To the more singles champ. Suitable and hand-some trophies will be presented the winners in ladies doubles and mixed doubles. Well Planned Socials The social events of the four days—August 17-20—will be numerous but well planned so as not to affect the energies of contesting players. Dances, banquets, and an old-fashioned watermelon feast on the campus at night are among the festivities planned. In short, the tournament will not be simply a matter of winning or losing titles, but it will be an occasion of profitable social contact and an altogether pleasant event.

Wills left to travel in France and Germany almost immediately after his scrap with Charley Weintner whom he flattened in two rounds of fighting. He left, even before he had received his check from the Italian Hospital Fund bouts. A Little Hitch There seems to be a bitch in that little financial matter. Will's contract called for 20 per cent of the gate, but the hitch comes in when it is alleged that he conceded to a 5 per cent cut, which he and his manage deny, who insists that the affair, Will's steadily holding out for the entire 20 per cent which would total somewhere around $600 or more. The boxing moguls who had to do with the conducting of the charity bouts stored the stevedore a check for a little over fifty thousand ducats. The issue was taken to the court, and the fistfuling fathers claimed that the matter would have to be threshed out by the participant and J. Humbert Fugazy, promoter of the affair.

Everything Is In Readiness For 2d Annual Club Meet Everything Is In Readiness For 2d Annual Club Meet Conditioning of the three courts of the Tidewater Tennis Club and other preparations for the staging of the second annual club tournament and the handling of the general public, which has been invited to witness the matches, left everything in reading, and is scheduled to begin Thursday afternoon of this week between four and five o'clock. The dry spell has made it difficult to keep a powder surface off of the courts, but the work done upon them this week is expected to help materially in securing a good playing surface. Every day for the past few weeks, members of the club have worked out in order to be in tip-tip shape for the tournament, which was won last year by Dr. Eilibu Burke and J. B. "Stumpy" Robinson. Every one in the club is keyed up to a high pitch and ready to begin the matches. *For the convenience of the public and players the matches will be held in the afternoon as long as light per cent, and the hour of starting depends upon the arrival of the coat, trouss, which is the most important clock. The entry list is compiled to club members in this note, but players who are not members of the Tidewater club will have a chance to compete in the open Tidewater tournament later in the summer, which will have men's, women's and Junior see- tions. A few vacancies in membership still exist in the club, it is understood, and those desirous of joining can get information by getting in touch with Mr. Geo. Ward of Lexington St., the club's president. The public has been extended an invitation to come to the courts and see the matches. Sweet food and drink are tasted with the tip of the tongue; bitter things with the back. HER ASHES SCATTERED Petersfield, Eng.—In accordance with deathbed instructions of Mrs. Janetta M. Errington, her were scattered to the four winds of heaven. FROM THE PRESS BOX At last Jack Dempsey, the itinerant heavyweight car cuffing champion has accepted the long posted challenge of Harry Wills his most persistent pursuer. Accepting the challenge doesn't mean that he must persist title match between Dempsey and Wills is assured. "There are many slips between the cup and the lip." Dempsey is sure to light but does not wish to meet his challenger until number of next year. In the meantime he wants to engage a few tuning matches to get himself in the proper condition before meeting a man of Wills caliber. That's "bolony."确实确实 realizes the fact that a man must be in condition to fight, but any man who is in such a bad shape that he needs off and to train to meet a particular challenger must be pretty off and it would be nothing short of murder to pit a man with such condition against such a powerful foe as Wills. How it's up to Harry to say whether or not the champion meets him else before he gets his crack at his made over nose, and why? Simply because you never can tell what might happen between now and September of next year. In event Dempsey meets someone else before he meets Wills, there are chances that somebody else dropping the champion for the count. The light game is full of the unexpected, which else bins out when Dave Shade bumped off Jimmy Slattery. This can also he true about Dempsey. It was said it would merely be a sporting proposition, if Wills conceded to Dempsey fighting anyone else. That much is true too, he leaves many sporting propositions have Dempsey conceded to Wills. It is not up to the commission to say whether Dempsey fights anybody else before he meets Wills or not. It made that clear when such a question was put to them. It is leaving that entirely to Wills. The point at issue now is, Dempsey must agree to fight Wills before he can place himself in good again with the boxing league, and this he has already done. Wills ought to hold down to that fight and not allow him since it is in his power, but Wills ought to demand that the thumping entertainment be held immediately and not wait until next year. The sooner the little matter is settled, the quicker it will be over and the JUST ONE MORE NOTHING STEMMING BIG DOY!! DEMPSY better it will be for all concerned. It would settle the question of Wills' logicalness and whether the Caucasians have in Dempsey, a real active champion worthy of holding the title. It's not Wills' fault that the champion is not in condition. Kearns, Dempsey's manager, comes to the fore with a statement to the effect that Dempsey, with the training can stop Wills in one round. Everybody that believes that stand on your head and spit tobacco juice in your vest pocket—uh huh! I don't see anybody standing on their heads, therefore they don't believe it. Kearns doesn't either. And if Dempsey could do that little small feat, why has he constantly dodged going in the ring and doing it which would have been good for his peace of mind long ere this?

I. A. A. and other state athletic groups have, from time to time added sports to their lists that were not found there before. One of the most recent additions to the C. I. A. A. schools' list was tennis, which began in 1924 as a major sport among this group of schools. Two tournaments have been held since that time and from outward appearances the sports footbolds. The colleges and schools are fast awakening to the advantages of a manifold of sport activities. The benefit activities are incalculable. Now for another branch of sport for the college and school that has gained considerably during the past few years and has been practically lifted out of the rut and placed on solid ground where it is taking its place with the rest of the high class athletic activities—the sport is boxing. Boxing as a college 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 games. No one, two, three, or any number of sports, the same intense interest for everybody. Each individual finds during appearals in different and other sports, there are others who wish other games to give vent to their athletic inclinations. Boxing is as good for the college as any of the other sports that are now fostered by them. It has the tendency to develop some of the same things the other sports develop and in some cases, in a larger degree. Boxing is not the game it has been painted by some blue nosed individuals, but instead it's a branch of athletic activity that brings out the best that's in any person. It wasn't the sport itself that secured for it the name it once bore. It JACK UP ON ME! BREZER! WWW.MEUNTHUCKY.COM JACK UP ON ME! BREZER! WWW.MEUNTHUCKY.COM BLINK!Y! BLINK!Y! BLINK!Y! BLUE!

But now the game enjoys having some of the finest types of manhood in its ranks, and it's this group of men who made the game what it is today. What It Does For All great muscle builder. It sharpens mind and body. It develops the nearly perfect hand. It doesn't don't develop self-con- fidence. When this occurs, one's con- tents on borders on-conceit Boxing is a great muscle builder. It sharpens the wit and develops coordination of mind and body. It develops that self-confidence in men, which is greatly needed in traveling the unbeaten as well as beaten paths of life. It doesn't develop self-confidence to the extent of making one a bully. When this occurs, one's confidence has mounted the heights where it borders on concert—concert which makes one a bully. If more young men and boys knew the art of boxing, there would be no boxing. Boxing as other sports demands clean livers. It's in all around character builder and develops all parts of the body, which a number of other sports fail to do. It's not that young men have a desire to become professional boxers that the colleges should add the game to their lists of major sports. Out of the large number of athletes that are turned out by the colleges each year, few of them ever become professionals in the line of sports they followed while in school. I'll venture to say that not one-tenth of them ever follow their athletic inclinations after they have graduated or given up school for other reasons. In even number of cases the vast number of star athletes who graduate from schools all over the country, and are capable of coaching in their respective lines. One thing certain, these coaches have been trained in a school or college. They are, as a rule men of high ideals—ideals which were instilled in them by coaches who preceded them and as the years race down the pages of time, they pass the ideals down the line to others. I'll venture to say again that only a small number of athletic coaches had picked coaching when they first set out to acquire an education, but after being tured by an opportunity to render such a wonderfully talented athlete from their original courses, Boxing will be gladly received by their students when the colleges fit to add this sport. It is no more valuable than some of the other sports, especially football. The sport would, no doubt be under competent instructors who could readily tell if any of the students did not have the physical requirements to indulge in the sport, therefore no one would be injured, and no harm done.

The Acadian Athletic Association, which loomed in 1922 as one of the most promising representative football teams of the city reorganized last week, with Joseph V. Moorman, president, Jas H. Johnson, vice president and treasurer, G. Hendricks, secretary, Willey A. Johnson, jr., assistant secretary and director of purity, the following men as officials of this year's football squad: Jos. V. Voonman captain, R. E. Jordan, assistant captain, Jos. F. Williams, business manager and John McQueen, assistant business manager. The organization plans to supply a long felt need in Norfolk in all departments of athletic endeavors, not restricting its activities wholly to football. In view of the fact that there are no means by which local young men have the opportunity to give veto of their athletic inclinations, the Polish Athletic Association is a strenuous campaign beginning late in the summer throughout the winter to rectify this. All attention at present will be focused on football for the coming season. It is believed that the football team will be composed of some of the best material obtainable. This year's squad will practically be intact with the exception of one or two men who are out of the city, and one of the best defensive backfields in the city with "Bull" Merritte, Jackson, Moorman and Johnson.

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.

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.

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.

A mixed spirit of enthusiasm, spiritual fervor, joyfulness and seriousness of purpose marked the large crowd that assembled on the grounds and in the old building of the First Baptist Church, Logan Park, Monday afternoon to witness the cornerstone laying of the new church. The exercises were held under auspices of the congregation, the Baptist Ministers' Conference and Tidewater Lodge No. 106 Massons of Tituwstown. The Ministers' Conference which met in the forenoon, cut short routine business and took charge of the dedication, soffonnons, Dr. Chus, S. sophonons, a guest of the Ministers' Conference, was the principal speaker. He preached one of his famous sermons. These devotionals were conducted with great spiritual enthusiasm the invocation by Rev. N. B. Brown being the starting point. Rev. G. R. Malloy, Rev. Harvey N. Johnson and Rev. C. H. D. Griffin impressively conducted the other; part of the services. The choice selections rendered by the choir did much to heighten the enthusiasm. Mrs. Gertrude Williams delivered the welcome address, while Mrs. Rosa G. Goode read the history of the church. Her was a very interesting paper. She traced the successes and failures of the congregation from the ing of the church in 1910 to the present. She is about to move a commodo modern building. She said the church had a membership of 27 when Rev. J. E. Williams, the present pastor took charge eleven years ago. During his tenure the membership has increased to 275 loyal and true workers. The character, pastorate and zeal of Rev. Williams was extolled the members through the speaker, pledging renewed admiration and loyalty toward him. The services the crowd required to the grounds of the new church building, closely adjoining those of the old structure. The lodge then took a hold of the proceedings and impressively laid in its place the cornerstone. Joint Conference of the A.C.E.

Miss Freya Taylor, a soprano soloist, entertained highly, particiaried with her Scottish selections, the Philharmonic Glossary of spirituals, and Mr. F. S. Tucker, one of the oldest local alumni of V. N. and I. L., introduced Dr. Gandy. --- During the ceremony the surrounding air was charged with the impressiveness of the occasion. The pastor and church officers stood near until the last trowel of mortar had sealed forever the stone in its place. The dinner was spread in the new kitchen which is about half completed, for the crowd. Appetites were sharp, but there was an abundance of choice vaults to appease them. Every seasonable vegetable—and the crowd did eat. The women of the church who had prepared the dinner made everybody entirely welcome to what had been set bore them. Their genial spirit, friendiness and the occasion a real delight to all who had the pleasure of being present. The new church building when completed will be a modern edifice, towering stately over the building from which the congregation will move. It will be a credit not only to the energetic pastor and his loyal group but to the community of which it is a part. Several local churches, auxiliaries and members gave or sent donations for the benefit of the building fund. These will be announced next week. Rev. D. J. Lee, formerly of the Grace Episcopal Church, preached a stirring sermon to the congregation of Bank Street Church, Sunday. "Conservatism," was the subject of Rev. Lee's discourse. Text is found in Aets 9:15. In the evening Rev. Lee spoke on the "Social Service of Christ." SILHOU BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday's services throughout the day were good, beginning with early morning prayer meeting and Sunday school. The attendance was very good. At 11:30 a.m., Rev J.

At the usual hour, he met with the Virginia Seminary and College at Lynchburg, Va., was presented to deliver the anniversary sermon. He chose for his text s. 621 and 11 verses, and preached a very profound sermon that will linger in the hearts of his heathers for a long while. At 3:30 p. m., Dr. C. P. Madison and the 14th Lord's Supper to a large gathering. Twelve churches were represented and many denominations. The head of fellowship was given to five persons. A great spiritual meeting was witnessed. At night, Dr. T. J. King, president of the Virginia Baptist Convention, met with the great prophetic sermon from the text, Esther 4:14. This discourse was full of information and inspiration. He pictured very beautifully the work of the past and prophesied for larger things in the future, stating that the glorious present is the result of the past and that the future depends on the present as to what it shall be. Both the Sunday school and B. P. Y. U. held special programs suitable to the observance of the great occasion of the parent body. All the services of the day were largely attended and greatly enjoyed. WILL PREACH ON EVOLUTION Rev. J. R.

Jerusalem Baptist United Presbyterian J. E. MILHOLLAND'S DEATH MOURNED He Was Regarded As A Chairman Of The Race's Cause Who Never Hesitated To Speak Out. It is the feeling among Colored America that one of its best friends was gathered to the fathers when the Hon. John E. Millholland, former newspaper editor and writer, died at his home in New York June 30. He was a man who never hesitated to speak out in behalf of the cause of the race. He was born at Lewis, N. Y., sixty-five years ago, and was educated abroad and in this country. After being graduated from New York University, he purchased the Ticconderoga Sentinel but sold it a short time later to join the staff of the University. He remained for twelve years. He won a wide reputation as a journalist and was one of the first to give publicity to the work Booker T. Washington was then doing in building Tuskegee. He was a warm personal friend of the Great Educator, as well as of others connected with the work at Tuskegee. Mr. Milholland was also much interested in the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, having been a member of the board of directors of that organization. Last year he came in for much publicity by his action in condemning the discrimination of former members of the suffragist organization who invited Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Mrs. Addie Hunton to speak at a memorial in honor of his daughter, Free Milholland Bission, and then insulted them. He is survived by his wife, Mrs Jean T. Milholland, and a son, John Milholland and a daughter, Vida Milholland. CHURCH DIRECTORY GRACE P. E.

The Color Line Not So Tight In Great Britain Says American Writer Author of "From Superman To Man." Written Exclusively for Journal and Guide London, England—To me, coming fresh from the United States, the most noticeable thing so far is the absence of the color line. When I arrived at Plymouth and after my bags had been gone through by the customs officer, my first necessity was to get a place for the night. Hearing that much color prejudice had arisen in England since the war, I did not Mr. Rogers, wish to suffer the embarrassment of being refused at a hotel and checked my bags at the railroad station while I went on recoonoitering tour of the town. I saw many places but hesitated to enter nor did I see a single colored person though I walked around for several hours. At last I saw the Y. M. C. A. sign and went in. The lady in charge received me courteously but said she hadn't a single vacancy and after trying to get me a room elsewhere, suggested that I try a certain hotel, which turned out to be one of the best in town. Received With Courtesy I finally decided to try it and was received with instant courtesy. I was handed the foreigners visitors' book wherein I had to talk about myself, who my parents are, where I was born and my age, etc. This is one of the unrepealed war measures. Most of the other names on the page were Americans who had just arrived like myself. One of the first things the American visitors did was to flock to the saisons ordering liquor eager for the fun of the thing and enjoying themselves like children just out from under the disciplinary eye of the teacher. To make matters worse the George Washington like the other ships of the American Line is really bone dry. As for me I had a glass of fine port just for luck. For the night's accommodation and breakfast next morning I paid three dollars. The accommodation was much inferior to what I would have received in the United States for a like sum. Housing is much inferior to the States. Early next morning I took the Great Western for Cornwall, where the opening scenes in my approaching novel are laid. After a pleasant ride through some of the loveliest country I have ever seen I arrived in the quaint and delightful old town of Penzance. At this time the English countrysides are a scene of remarkable beauty. The fields are cut up with green hedges on which all kinds of wild flowers are blooming. Englishmen Cordial I had always imagined the Englishman as being very stiff when travelling. Back of my mind was the story of an Englishman who is said to have hesitated to tell another whose coat was on fire of it because he had not been introduced to him. Quite the contrary I found my fellow-travellers in the same compartment willing to talk after I had opened conversation. When they learned I was from America they became even more interested. And I noted that when they spoke they said: "You, Americans," not "You, colored people." Here one is thought of in terms of nationality, not of race. It seems a very difficult thing to get an Englishman at home interested in race. Here, at least, all the dark peoples from the other parts of the Empire are thought of first as Britishers. Not once so far in the many conversations I have had has race ever been referred to with the result I have come to think that it result I have come to think that it simply isn't thought about. Where- Tin, a Product of Cornwall simply isn't thought about. Where- AL BUSINESS IN WEDS IN BROOKLYN N. Y. T. Mason, of Bankers' Insurance Co., Takes Vivian Carter For of the brilliant wedding of T.

Norfolk Journal and Guide BY J. A. ROGERS of "Superman To Man." exclusively for Journal and Guide in England—To me, com- h from the United States, the most notice- able thing so far is the absence of the color line. When I arrived at Plymouth and after my bags, had been gone through by the customs officer, my first necessity was to get a place for the night. Hearing that much color prejudice had arisen in England since the war I did not suffer the After having been accorded in England the same cordiality as that received by white American tourists, J. A. Rogers, is convinced more than ever that color prejudice is a thing that has to be taught. Mr. Rogers says if there were any such thing as instinctive prejudice, surely these people of Cornish, England, where he has been taking in the sights, would repel at the sight of a colored man inasmuch as one is seldom ever seen around their native habitats. In London at the Y. M. C. A., where he reluctantly applied for accommodations immediately after disembarking from the seacan liner, he was received with the utmost courtesy by a young English girl in charge. Mr. Rogers was directed to a hotel where good accommodations were obtained at a nominal price. In England Americans, white and colored, are referred to as "You Americans." No reference is made to race, the emphasis being place on nationality, Mr. Rogers finds. Dark people from the West Indies are thought of as Britishers, and those from France as Frenchmen. ever I go in barber shops, restaurants, hotels, theatres, I am treated as any other man. And because of not knowing where to go to find some of the cheaper accommodations I have been forced to go to some of the best places. Whatever the colonial policy of the Empire may be—and God knows that it is bad in most parts of Africa, here in the Mother Country a man regardless of color is treated according to his merits and capabilities. The single black man I met all the time I was in the south of England said when I remarked to him on the absence of prejudice. "Why this is the worst part of England. It is where you Americans come You ought to go to the north of England where I have lived for more than twenty years." "Go Where Your Pocketbook Will Take You" When I asked him to recommend me to a place in London he gave me this notable reply: "Go, where your pocket will take you. Act just as if you were a white man in America." This Negro is from Barbadoes and is a medicine doctor, selling roots and herbs to credulous white folk. He says that although times are hard and there is unprecedented unemployment that he makes an average of twenty-five dollars a day for a few hours talk. Negroes, I notice, are not the only ones who fall for fake medicine. This part of England is one of the most prosperous being known as the Cornish Rivera. The weather is delightful in summer and although it is about as far north in latitude as northern Canada snow While in Penzance I visited Land's End, the most southerly tip of England. Here immense boulders are piled up by the hand of Nature forming a most astonishing sea wall. It appears as if some giant hand had taken up these huge boulders, some of them weighing many tons and carelessly piled them up hundreds of feet high. Some of these great rocks look as if an infant could disturb the balance and send them all hurting down. Nevertheless they have been in that same delicate position for thousands and thousands of years. With its tremendous waves dashing against these granite cliffs, with its great caves and blowholes, its weird formations and the marvelous coloring of the rocks and the waters, Land's End is a place that one does not forget very readily. The only other natural sight that I know excels it is the Grand Canyon. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1925 WILL THE NEGRO OXLEY TELLS OF BECOME CATHOLIC? RACE'S PRESSING MINISTER QUERIES UPLIFT PROBLEM (Continued from Page One) driving into is fields a considerable part of our 11,000,000 Protestant Negroes?" Contrasts Church Attitude Dr. Cady also draws a contrast between the welcome that it has been given the colored man entering a Protestant Church and that accorded in the Catholic edifice. "If you enter a Protestant church you, a colored man, rarely find a welcome there, 'but are usually shown a corner or are placed in the gallery. Again, if you seek a Protestant church you are likely to find a dingy, dilapidated building devoid of paint or ornament. Or perhaps a situation like that in Boston where the Congregationalists, while themselves worshipping in most beautiful edifices, have for a quarter of a century provided for your meetings only a shabby old storeroom. That there are noble exceptions does not minimize the fact that these conditions are found nearly everywhere. "On the other hand, here stands a Catholic church with a beautiful and orate ritual, a ceremonialism enriched by procession and glittering robes and a beautiful church building located in the most commanding part of the city. You enter its doors, always open. You are welcome to any part of the house and find yourself for the time being an equal member of a democracy which knows no distinction of race or color. For whatever may be the unapproachable autocracy behind the altar, in the pews of the Catholic Church three is the utmost democracy. What may happen there if your race becomes numerous does not concern you; for the present you have found a religion and a church home where one man is as good as another." Describes New Movement Dr. Cady describes the new movement for winning the Negro to the Catholic faith and stated that the mission is now fairly on foot and, as usual with all Catholic movements, is well organized and financed. "Dr. Cady declares that the klan is not Christianity, but is a denial of all that Jesus Christ came to teach. He affirms that the Negro has come to a degree of race pride and race ambition little understood by the white man. The whole race is being powerfully moved by that which has come to be one mastering passion—to come on and up—cutting out any thing and every thing which has hitherto entangled and hindered progress. Cornwall is also noted for its tin mines. Students of history will recall that the Phoenician merchants used to visit it long before Julius Caesar in order to get that product. One of these mines I saw known as the Ding-Dong has been worked before the time of Christ and still is. Some of these mines extend under the sea. The Cornish people are very positive. Seeing few colored faces one would think they would gaze at a Negro but they never do, accepting him as a perfectly normal human being. I went for long walks in the delightful narrow green lanes meeting here and there alone a woman in the fields. There is apparently not the slightest reserve about meeting me and if, just as a test, I ask a question her voice is as friendly and normal as ever. More than ever after this do I feel positive that color prejudice has to be taught and that there is no such thing as instinctive hate of one human species for another. For if it were, surely those people who see Negroes least ought to show the most fear at contact with them. Here, however, are these people who, as I said, rarely if ever see a colored face acting just as if on the other side of the Atlantic there was not a tremendous color problem. Nearly all of the land around Penzance belongs to Lord St. Lever who, on a very high cliff cut off by high tide known as St. Michaël's Mount, has a magnificent casse like one reads about in fairy tales. Leaves For London A few days later I left this beautiful part of the country third class for London. The English coaches are quite unlike the American being much smaller, but more artistic in appearance. First class, the only other class, is so high that it is only for the rich. After a seven hours' ride thru country fully as beautiful as that I had seen on the way down I arrived at London, whose outskirts looked just the same as that of any American city. In my next I will tell of my experiences in London and of some of the places I have visited. BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE FAVOR LYNCHING Indianapolis, Ind.—The members of the Baptist Young People's Union, meeting in their 34th annual convention here came to the conclusion that "the United States should join the league and the world court; they approved of lynching under some circumstances Middlesborough.

Ann Winterton died on her 101st birthday. --- (Continued from Page One) that policies cannot be developed intelligently without a knowledge of the conditions, favorable or unfavorable, which exist in the field, the Negro bureau has endeavored to make short studies of cross-sections of Negro life in several communities. The bureau has accomplished a constructive good in the matter or stimulating the employment of trained Negro social workers as assistants in the many County welfare offices. Through means of conference with county superintendents, and members of their boards, the bureau has been directly responsible for the placement of Negro assistants in the following cities; Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, Asheville, High Point, Elizabeth City, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and a part time worker in Wilmington. Race Self-Help "It is interesting to note the concrete expressions of interest in a program of public welfare as demonstrated by the following gifts of Negroes. The Negro women of the State have contributed about $20,000 to be used in providing a training school for delinquent Negro girls. Ground has been purchased at Eiffel, North Carolina, and one building with all modern conveniences erected. This plant consisting of over 300 acres has been given to the State by Negro women. The Negro Elks 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. Through the generous kindness of Mr. Benjamin Duke of New York, at the request of this bureau, a gift of $15,000 has been received. This amount will be used to build a ward for Negro children at the North Carolina Orthopedic hospital. Problem of Feeble-Minded "One of the most serious problems affecting the public welfare is that presented by the Negro feeble-minded. A survey of superior court indictments and other records would establish the fact that about $75\%$ of the number of Negroes brought before the courts are mentally defective. At present the State makes no provision for the Negro feeble-minded. Until such time as the State realizes the urgent necessity of properly providing for this defective group, just so long will outrages be perpetrated, and the law-abiding citizen's life and property be endangered. Racial adjustment in the rural communities is made the more difficult because of the constant menace—the feeble-minded Negro, unrestrained. A study of crime among Negroes during the past twenty-five years using the reports of superior court indictments as a basis, shows a commendable decrease." Lieut. Oxley stated that he is deeply conscious of the fact that upon the success of the Negro welfare program in North Carolina will depend in large measure the future development of public welfare program for Negroes throughout the Southland. Only by applying the social principles of the lowly Nazarene plus a scientific approach to these many difficult and complex problems with their racial and social aspects can progress be noted and tangible results achieved. Mother's Aid "Mothers' Aid, child placing, the unmarried mother, and many other problems of mat-adjustment, have yet to be studied and remedies applied. At present plans are being worked out preparatory to making a series of cross-section housing surveys in several cities throughout the State. The information gathered will be studied with a view of recommending a program of better housing, thus raising the standards of home life among a group who have suffered long and patiently. "There is fast developing in the State a new attitude relative to the Negro; this attitude in neither northern nor southern, but is distinctly North Carolinian. It is an attitude which seeks after the true facts and then evaluates the facts in the light of a broad-minded Christian citizen." The outline of organization as perfected in Wake County will form the basis for organizing the other ninety-nine counties of the State. The program in Wake County may be summed up under the following headings: (A) Proper enforcement of the Compulsory School Attendance Law. Study of the causes, and the placing of responsibility for the many flagrant violations of the Attendance Law. (B) Provision for recreational facilities for Negroes. (C) Development of the Juvenile Court, with special emphasis on the training of Negro juvenile delinquents along vocational lines. (D) Inquiry into the housing problem and its attendant vices. (E) The proper development of a probation and parole system, together with provision for the Negro feeble-minded. (F) Correlating the N e g r o c y welfare program with that of the State and city programs of education, health, etc. Grossly Unjust Division Of Public School Funds Is Alleged In Norfolk County POINTS OF STRIKING CONTRAST IN EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES IN A NORFOLK COUNTY DISTRICT Colored children studying in building that was erected in 1869 to be used in dual capacity of church and school. No improvements since 1884, when it was partitioned into two rooms and ceiled with rough boards. Colored patrons, after unavailing attempts to get Norfolk County School Board to relieve crowding, built out of their own meagre funds an annex. County provides 7 months' term. Patrons have added from 4 to 6 weeks to term through public subscriptions. Patrons, in a desperate attempt to have county erect a modern school building, have bought, paid for and presented a site to the county, fee simple. Site growing up in weeds and the school board has made no more toward erecting a building on it. White children have had three school enlargements since 1870. Twenty years ago a modern brick building was erected as a grammar and high school. Ten years later $60,000 bond issue successfully carried out to pay enlarging facilities of this plant. Pupils have nine months' term and free transportation to and from school. Population of the county one-half or more colored. Many own substantial homes and farms and are good taxpayers. In the column of the Norfolk! "Editor Virginian-Pilot. In the columns of the Norfolk "Editor, Virginian-Pilot, Virginian-Pilot appeared a letter "Because the Virginian-pilot is Saturday morning addressed to the representative of the best Southern editor of that paper and signed in sentiment to the "Norfolk County Citizen" in which racial statements, I would thank the writer reveals starting in Norfolk County, I would for publishing this plea for simple justice. M. M. M. His word is his bond! A "personal guarantee" means very little to you unless you know the man who makes it. Ninety per cent of the things bought for your home are selected by the lady member of the firm. She is the purchasing agent. Most men admit that she is a capable buyer, and the reason is this: She must be shown - convinced by proof - that an article is what she needs and is worth the price! For that reason, she sees the advantage of dealing with a local merchant - a man whose "personal guarantee of satisfaction" means just what it says. She knows that what he advertises in this paper is entitled to her consideration. Because she has confidence in her neighbor—the local dealer—she can safely invest the family funds in what he guarantees. and save yourself money by reading at home. Have Read in Vault For years, the letter indicates, the colored people of that section have made persistent but unavailing importunities to the school board for relief from crowding, even going to the extent of building an annex out of their slender resources. Out of these same slender resources they have prolonged the school term by from 4 to 6 weeks, have bought and paid for a school site and presented it to the school board in fee simple, yet they have no fit school building, the board practically ignoring the gift of the site. In contrast to this the white children of Deep Greek have been generously provided for in the matter of educational opportunities. The letter reads: IN THIS SECTION City News-Virginia and North Carolina Features and Editorials. "The traditional patience and long suffering of the colored race is clearly demonstrated in the unparalleled restraint at the utter neglect of their educational interests by the Norfolk County School Board. "The colored schoolhouse at Deep Creek was built in 1869, and was used until 1877 in the dual capacity of school and church. In 1884 it was partitioned into two rooms and coiled with rough boards. No improvements to it have been made. "After unavailing importunities to the school board for relief from over crowding had been made, the colored people of the community, out of their slender resources, built an annex and for several years supplemented the school year of from $6\frac{1}{2}$ to 7 months with from 4 to 6 weeks. Their latest act has been the purchase of a tract of land for a school site and its transfer at the Deep Creek School Board in fee simple. "In striking contrast to the foregoing are the advantages offered the white children of school age. Since 1870 three school enlargements have been made. About 20 years ago a modern brick building was erected as a grammar and high school. Ten years later bonds to the amount of $80,000 were is MANY DONATE TO THE COMMUNITY MATERNITY WARD Several Physicians Give Instruments To Aid Graduate Nurses In Equipping Much Needed Institution.

PAGE EIGHT HEALTH CRUSADE IN RURAL DISTRICT HAS SWEEPING RESULTS 2,000 Country People Inoculated Against Typhoid Fever; Forty-five Experts Conduct Health Campaign. That a health campaign can be effectively put over in a rural community has just been demonstrated in Macon County, Alabama, the home of Tuskegee Institute and United States Veterans' Hospital 91. Practically every physician and health officer who has had experience in rural health matters knows that it is usually difficult to awaken the people in the country districts to the importance of proper health measures. Efforts of health officers to combat prevailing epidemics are frequently met with indifference on the part of a large section of the rural population who still harbor a belief that every scourge is a visitation from God and cannot be controlled by man. Again there is the dreary and unpleasant belief that it will either result fatally or greatly hinder them from regular attendance upon their cross. A Successful Campaign Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; T. M. Campbell, Field Agent of the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Veterans Hospital cooperating, have successfully met and eliminated all of these difficulties in conducting a health campaign in Macon county. The result is nearly 2,000 people have within the past two weeks received inoculation against typhoid fever. As a consequence of the large number of deaths in the county from this disease, Dr Moton and those cooperating with him inaugurated a education campaign nearly. On foot, by buildup and in buggies every day people are now trekking to the Veterans' Hospital where the inoculation is done. Forty-Five Experts Campaign Sunday, July 12, was set apart as a day for pushing the campaign with vigor. Forty-five health, agricultural, and educational experts set out on their health crusade through the county in automobiles, making short stops in various communities previously unreachable. Agricultural Extension Service Agent, the Negro Churchus sustained their regular services upon the arrival of the health campaign workers and the minister readily apologized to the congregation that it was not unChristian "to heal the sick on Sunday," while the free treatment to all made possible by the State, and harmlessness of the mild operation were presented to the congregation by Dr. E. H. Dibble, medical director of Tuskegee Institute Hospital; Col. J. H. Ward, head of the United States Veterans Department; and T. A. Campbell, Field Agent. Agricultural Extension Service and Ezra C. Roberts, director of the Academic Department of Tuskegee Institute The attendance, at this time, at Tuskegee Institute, of all the agricultural demonstration agents throughout the State, with the home economics workers, and the public health nurses made it possible to assess an excellent rural community worker, in their presence in the intensive health campaign not only succeeded in making a marked impression but also enabled the extension workers, themselves, to observe how possible it is, in all parts of the State to the necessity of taking proper precautions to promote better health conditions among the people.

MORE FRICTION IN VIRGIN ISLANDS COMES TO FRONT MORE FRICTION IN VIRGIN ISLANDS COMES TO FRONT Governor Williams Dissolves Colonial Council When That Body Refuses To Seat Two Of His Appointees. More evidence of contiuo n friction between the St. Croix, Vigin Islands Colonial Council, a Governor Williams again ma fested itself recently when Governor dissolved the Council, the grounds that they recoognized the recognition of sweet appointees, according to a patch to the American Civil Liberties Union in New York. The Council refused to seat A. E. Stakeman, a lawyer and judge of the St. Croix Police Court, and one Armstrong, two of the Governor's appointees. The Council based its refusal upon an act of Congress passed in July, 1921, which states that only citizens of the United States or of the Virgin Islands shall be eligible as Council members. The dissolution of the Council by the Governor, places the governmental machinery of the islands in a state of chaos. The Governor failed to acquire citizenship in either of the Virgin Islands, when he renounced his allegiance to Denmark, in order to acquire status for his appointment to the Colonial Council," is the official opinion obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union from government authorities. The Union is seeking an official ruling, defining the status of Stakeman and others. COURTLAND Coutland, Va.—At 11:30 a.m. the pastor, Rev. P. E.

Mitchell, Dist. M. 1008 Church Street COUNTY SHERIFFS GIVEN CREDIT FOR LYNCHING DECLINE Commission, On Interracial Cooperation Sends Complimentary Letter To County Officers of Southern States. Seizing the flowers while they lily and have the opportunity of saving their fragrance, is a novel issue. The Commission on I n t e r r e c i a l Co-operation has struck up as an incentive to sheriff and county officers to increase their efforts to carb lynching, and to convey public appreciation of what these officers have already done in this direction. The Commission has sent a letter to county sheriffs of several Southern States giving them a large part of the credit for the co-eling lynching record in late years and commending their work. The letter reads: "During the last three years American annual lynching record has decreased 70 per cent—from 1922 to 28 in 1823 and to sixteen last year. This is most gratifying and has occasioned nation-wide comment. "That this trend is due largely to the vigilance of sheriffs is clearly indicated by the study of the records. In 1914 there were 52 lynchings and only 14 reported preventions. In 1924 the figures were reversed—16 lynchings and 45 preventions. These figures tell the story and point the way to the final execution of mob violence. This is our report our officers undoubtedly had and will have the full approval and support of enlightened public opinion in the South. Purpose of Letter Purpose of Letter "The purpose of this letter is to express on behalf of this charitable Commission and its hundreds of commissioners and county and county committees their cordial appreciation of the fidelity and courage on the part of the sheriffs which has brought about this gratifying change. In successfully opposing mobs these officers are doing some thing more than protecting their prisoners, whether guilty or innocent, protecting the law constitutions of State and Nation. They are upholding the good name of their communities, their States and their country. They are defending civilization itself against the threat of anarchy. This peculiarly American crime may speedily be wiped from the map by faithful officers based on experience. To that end we wish you Godsend and pledge you our hearty co-operation and support."

More time should be put on the study of the lesson. Teachers' meetings should be held regularly in every Sunday school. Much attention should be paid to teacher-training. All Sunday school workers should make a spiritual preparation which can on one day go along with one. We should ask his help and undertake the work in His name. Sunday school can also be made better by increasing the attendance. How can this be done? One of the best ways is to appoint a visiting committee who shall make a thorough canvass for new scholars. But if the is wide awake and members of the church will be little trouble in keeping up an interest outside of the church. The lack of interest shown in the Sunday school by the church itself is often a great hindrance. Things Teachers Should Do. First, prepare the lesson carefully. 2. Prepare a definite teaching plan and follow it. 3. Be in school at least ten minutes before opening of session. 4. See that there is perfect order in his or her class. 5. Obliged to reprove speak gently, kindly and firmly. 6. Study the mental and spiritual condition of each scholar. 7. Faithfully and lovingly for Jesus sake. 8. Always keep in mind the salvation of his or her scholars. Raleigh, N. C.—The following teachers have returned from summer school: Mrs. G. T.

Mgr. 1008 Church Street LEGAL BATTLE IS BEING WAGED OVER MURDERER'S FATE Defending a Negro by virtue of court appointment, the man being too poor to employ a lawyer, a white attorney, an ex-judge of Jacksonville Fla., is making one of the most brilliant legal rights to save a man from the electric chair ever witnessed under similar circumstances. Will Douglas faces the death chair. He killed peace W. J. Kelley (white). That much is proved. Will, ignorant and defenseless, was brought into court to be tried. Judge John W. Dodge, according to the usual formality when the defendant is without counsel, was appointed to defend Will. Begins New Fight As in hundreds of similar cases the counsel for the defense might have gone through some prefunctory gestures in the name of defense and Will Doughlas would have been quickly trotted off to the electric chair. But J u Dodge, according to his statements, saw in the case some saw more in an ignorant Negro gentleman for shooting to death the policeman, and at the conclusion of the trial when his client had been convicted he began anew his fight with these remarks: "This case involves not only the life of one man, but several fundamental rights and liberties of both blacks and whites, which are paramount to the life of any one individual, either white or black." Attorney Dodge has filed a writ of error for the State Supreme Court, following the denial for a new trial by Judge Simons. In his writ he names six reasons, declaring that the defendant had a right to shoot and continue shooting until he felt himself safe from attack and arrest with out warrant, and that the court erred in failing to charge the jury on the point, and to charge the jury on all degrees of murder. That the jury was prejudiced and the foreman openly kept in court. The flight Judge Dodge for William Judge Dodge is the strongest ever made by a white attorney for a Negro accused of killing a white man in the history of Florida. He said: "The case has been tried and so far is the circuit court is concerned, jurisdiction is now in the supreme court of Florida upon the writ of error and the case will be heard. The case is made in order made there by either three or six supreme court judges, who will pass upon the facts and law. Fundamental Principle Involved "The case involves not only the life of one man but several fundamental rights and liberties of both whites and blacks, which are paramount to the life of any one individual, either white or black. As an officer of the court I was appointed to represent Douglass. I shall do my full duty, present all the facts and all the law to the final and supreme authority of law for present and for present guidance but future presiding rights of all including the police, and my conscience shall be clear, no matter what the final results may be.

Class A. harborship is maintained in Field Annual Enrollment address: SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1925 PRESIDENT DURKEE ANSWERS CRITICS; CLAIMS MALIGNITY Denies Using Insulting Language Toward Dean Miller And Squelches Report Of Designation of Dr. Just. 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.

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. M. E. Hood Temple A. M. E. Zion and the Leigh St. M. E. ran a joint picnic to Valley Grove Park. Truck load after truck load of women, men and children left the Third St. church from nine to eleven and returned about seven in the evening. King David Lesson A three days session of the Order of King David was held at the Sharon Baptist Church—Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, many delegates and visitors from this and other states were in attendance here. 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. Walker is now being given a dose of her own medicine, she has for so long called upon everybody to speak at various things of which she was head, but she is now being called by some of these same people to do the speaking. The good lady protested at first saying that she could not speak at all and could not so in the capacity of principal speaker at a women's meeting she delivered an admirable address at Sharon Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
