Making Good In French Opera MME. LILLIAN E. TIBBS (MME. EVANTI) MME. LILLIAN E. TIBBS (MME. EVANTI) Invades Grand Opera In The French Capital Invades Grand Opera In The French Capital Mme. Lillian Evans Tibbs, colorature soprano of Washington, has invaded grand opera in European capitals with much success, says Lester Walton in the New York World. Last March Mme. Tibbs made her debut at Nice in the French opera, "Lakane," appearing in the principal role. She was supported by Jean Marny and M. Baldons of the Paris Opera. She has been engaged to sing in grand opera at Nice and Monte Carlo for the next three seasons, says Mr. Walton. Her Race Well-Known This American singer's race is well known, the writer continues, and she does nothing to hide it. Her stage name in France is Mme. Evanti. After her debut the Cote d'Azure, of Nice, said: "Mme. Evanti, colorature soprano, makes debut in opera in 'Lakane' with great success. After the 'Bell Song' the audience gave her a most enthusiastic ovation. Mme. Evanti possesses all the qualities for an eminent career, being a musician as well as possessing a remarkable voice of wide range, combining qualities of the lyric and true colorature soprano." Two years ago Mme. Tibbs took up temporary residence in New York and coached with Frank La Forge, teacher composer, who speaks of her as "a very excellent singer with a well-controlled voice and fine diction," says Lester Wal- Career Predicted Harry T. Burleigh predicts for her an artistic career of true and lasting value. It was at Mr. Burleigh's instance that Mme. Tibbs went abroad in 1924. She at once became the pupil of Mme. Ritter-Ciampi, one of France's foremost grand opera singers and teachers, and took lessons in acting from M. Gaston Dupins. She first attracted favorable attention by giving two concerts in the salon of Mme. Joseph Salmon with the violinist, the Marquis de Casa Fuente. She sang in French. She was invited to give radio concerts with Madeline de Valmalette, known as "the best woman pianist in France." Mme. Tibbs is the wife of Roy Tibbs, professor of Music at Howard University, and a daughter of the late W. Bruce Evans, who was principal in the public schools of the capital.

Former Harvard Football Star And Head of Colored Division of Republican Committee In 1924 Rewarded. GOES WEST TO BEGIN IMPORTANT CASES Washington, D. C., Oct. 27—William C. Matthews, of Boston, Massachusetts, former Harvard University football star, was today appointed a Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, and immediately ordered to proceed to Lincoln, Nebraska to represent the Government in certain Federal prosecutions.

Bagnall Addresses Mass Meeting At Bank St. Church; Expresses Confidence In Courts of the Land Quite a number of citizens pledged amounts ranging from $5.00 to $25.00 to the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at a mass meeting at Bank Street Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. The meeting was addressed by Robert W. Bagnall, director of Branches for the N. A. A. C. P., and was well attended. Elegant Address In an eloquent as well as absorbingly interesting address Mr. Bargnall outlined the problems which the association faces in its various legal battles, some of which are enroute to the United States Supreme Court from different sections of the country, and pointed to the need for large sums of money to prosecute these legal contests. The former. Norfolk colored citizens showed keen interest in the New Orleans case because the City Council here recently enacted an ordinance paralleling the one on the statute books of the Louisiana city. Most of them appeared to feel that in aiding in the fight on the New Orleans law through the N. A. A. C. P., they were protesting against the Norfolk law, and that the Supreme Court decision in the matter would settle it for this city as well as New Orleans. The Sweet Case Mr. Bagmall also described the Association's efforts in the case of Dr. O. H. Sweet of Detroit, who with eleven other defendants, including his wife and two brothers, are charged with first degree murder in connection with the killing of a white man, alleged to have been a member of a mob which was storming with stones the residence of Dr. Sweet in which he had recently moved. This case, Mr. Bagmall said, grew out of the most dangerous form of residential segregation, being segregation by mob violence. In this case the N. A. A. C. P. has retained Clarence Darrow of Chicago and Arthur Garfield Haves of New York, to defend Dr. Sweet and the other defendants. Mr. Bagmall made it plain that although often accused of radicalism, the N. A. A. C. P. is radical only in that it demands full constitutional rights for every citizen of this country. He said the Association will never resort to other than righteous public opinion and the courts of the land to bring (Continued on Page Three) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1925 Workers Swoop Down On City With A Mind To Put Over The Campaign The Community Chest Fund drive among the colored people here got off to a start Wednesday night in a rallying banquet in the lecture room of St. John's A. M. E. Church, with enthusiasm surpassing that marking the beginning of any of the campaigns in previous years. At the banquet 300 covers were laid, everyone of which was taken, leaving about 100 persons waiting the next sitting. Enthusiasm for the success of the campaign was brought to its height at this gathering, but it was plainly evidenced that behind this enthusiasm there was sincere determination on the part of the workers to go over the top with unprecedented success. ing one. The lecture room overlaid, everyone of which was taken, flowed with the crowd. Easy bus-leaving about 100 persons waiting the next sitting. Enthusiasm for the success of the campaign was brought to its height at this gathering, but it was plainly evidenced that behind this enthusiasm there was sincere determination on the part of the workers to go over the top with unprecedented success. Everyone seemed to be imbued with the spirit to "put Spaulding Backs Shepard's Plea For Peace At Howard THEY HAVE BEEN POWER COMPANY HANDICAPPED EMPLOYS MANY BUSSMEN SAY COLORED MEN Wednesday night was the time set for the official opening of the drive, but for several days previous to that time, Jesse O. Thomas, Director General of the campaign, and a number of captains and majors comprising prominent men and women of the community, were working quietly among fraternal orders, business houses and professional groups with fruitful results. Impressive Program The scene presented at the banquet where the 300 or more workers were assembled was an arrest. Spaulding Bad Plea For Peace Durham, N. C.—C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, who is recognized as one of the country's finest business men and not given to weightless or exaggerated statements, has written a letter to the North Carolina Times, a race publication of this city, in which he appears to look with misgivings upon the public criticism of Howard University administration which has appeared in the newspapers from time to time. Defends Dr. Shgard Mr. Spaulding, in his letter which was published in the Carolim paper of last week, expresses confidence in the sincerity of the motive of Dr. Shepard, who recently made a public statement pleading for a cessation of the criticism of Dr. Durkee, Howard's president, on what Dr. Shepard termed grounds for the good of the university and Negro education. Mr. Spaulding's letter follows: THEY HAVE BEEN HANDICAPPED BUSSMEN SAY Ask For Victory At Polls To Give Them Free Hand To Develop Better Bus System. Declaring that they have been hampered in the development of their properties and of a more efficient transportation system by the indefiniteness of the city's policy, the Norfolk Bus Association incorporated is asking the voters for a complete victory at the polls on November 17th, in order that they may be free to proceed under a definite policy. "For the past two years," declared an official of the Bus Association, "we have been unable to obtain permits from the city at the first of the year. Permits were held up last year until May. This year permits were finally issued in March for six months from the first of the year, expiring, of course, in June. Then we were compelled to operate under temporary permits for sixty days. In September permits were refused the Association, but were issued to individual operators. That, of course made it difficult for the Association to control the operators to the best advantage, and to see that they gave the maximum of service." If they win the election, the Bus Association officials declare, the question of control will be settled and they will be in position to carry out plans which they have for improving the service now rendered, and this includes the installation of rough new equipment. The proposed transfer system of the Traction company has no advantages over the system already The Letter October 21, 1925 "The Carolina Times." "Durham, N. C." "Attention of Mr. E. C. Harris, Editor." "Dear Sir: "Those who know me know I do not believe in controversy, either public or private, but I do believe it is time for the leaders of our race to speak out in the interest of our public institutions and men who are known leaders." "I have reference at this time to the Howard University situation. I read with very much interest the correspondence of Dr. James E. Shepard in reference to the situation and, knowing Dr. Shepard as I do, I know his only object in writing the article was to bring about a reconciliation in order to avoid handicapping our leading institution, Howard University. We certainly hope that our own newspapers, which are such a force for (Continued on Page Six) POWER COMPANY EMPLOYS MANY COLORED MEN Citizens Should Sustain Local Industries That Keep Money At Home, Is Point Raised. When asked regarding the policy of the Virginia Railway and Power Company in the employment of colored labor, Vice President Frank McLaughlin called attention to the fact that of the 1178 employees of the company in Norfolk, 252-21 per cent—are colored men. This is a very fair proposition Mr. McLaughlin thought, taking in consideration the relative proportions of white and colored population. The citizens of Norfolk should insure the stability of industries which give permanent employment to large numbers of workers; if they wish to see the city grow and prosper, is the opinion of the traction official. There is no question about the permanency of transportation facilities in the colored residential districts of the unified system wins in the referendum election, according to officials of the Traction company, which, as is now well known, was recently re-organized under entirely new ownership and management. "We are here to save the public线" said Mr. McLaughlin, "and is a public service corporation we intend to do that to the unmost of our resources, which are ample to give Norfolk the sort of unified transportation system it needs." in use by the busses, the official said. Besides, he pointed out, if the unified plan wins, bus fares will be immediately increased. FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS RETAIN NOTED LAWYERS FOR COURT BATTLE Louis Marshall, Moorfield Streey, Arthur Spingarn, Herbert Stockton, William H. Lewis, Among Counsellors. SUPREME COURT TEST A CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT New York, Oct. 28—When the Washington residential aggregation case comes up before the United States Supreme Court the middle of next month, Mrs. Helen Curtis, the appellant and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which is conducting her fight, will be represented by a formidable array of the country's most brilliant legal talent. Moorefield Storey, of Boston, and Louis Marshall, of New York two of the most eminent constitutional lawyers of the times, will present the case before the Nation's highest tribunal for the N. A. A. C. P. and Mrs. Curtis, it having been arranged between Mr. Marshall and Mr. Storey that Mr. Marshall will open the argument and present the case at length and that Mr. Storey will reply to the arguments of the opponents and close the case for the petitioners. Assisting Attorneys Assisting Messrs. Storey a nd Marshall will be Arthur B. Spingarn, vice president of the N. A. A. C. P. Herbert K. Stockton; prominent attorney, member of the board of the association, both of New York; James A. Cobb, of Washington, leading attorney for the appellants; Henry E. Davis, former United States District Attorney for the District of Columbia; James P. Shick, of counsel for Mrs. Curtis, and William H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States. Case To Be Argued The case to be argued concerns the right of white property owners to make agreements not to sell to Negroes and to enforce such agreements at law. It is the contention of the N. A. A. C. P. attorneys that since the Supreme Court in Louisville Case of 1917 declared segregation by law or ordinance to be unconstitutional, it is equally illegal for the courts to enforce private segregation agreements. The case arose out of a sale of property in Washington, situated at 1727 "S" Street, N. W., to Mrs. Helen Curtis, a colored woman. The property had previously been included in an agreement not to sell to Negroes. White property owners who were party to the agreement, went to court and enjoined the owner from selling the property and Mrs. Curtis from taking possession of it. On appeal of the case from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to the Court of Appeals, the higher court upheld the injunction. The case was then appealed to the United States Supreme Court where it is now to be heard. This case is regarded as one of the most important battles in behalf of the Negro's civil rights that has ever been fought in the United States. Defeat will mean the creation of segregated districts for Negroes throughout the country and the relegation of colored people to the position occupied by Jews in Russia in the days of the "pale ghetto." Victory will mean a new affirmation, that the colored citizens of this country are entitled to equal accommodation and treatment before the law with all other citizens of the land. It has been pointed out in connection with this case, that not only are Negroes involved but all minority groups of the country as well. If Negroes can be segregated the way is opened for the segregation of Catholics, Jews, Irish, Italians or any other religious or racial minority. Col. Borland Speaks Sunday, November 8 Col. C. B. Borland, Director of Public Safety, will address the colored citizens on "Citizenship" a mass meeting at the First Baptist Church Sunday afternoon Nov. 8. at 2:30 o'clock. Col. Borland is an engaging speaker and usually has an interesting message to give his hearers when he appears on the public platform. The Manhattan Quartette will render selections at the meeting. Important Battle Designated By The Governor DR. F. W. JAMES, who was recently designated by Governor E. L. Le Trinkle as one of the delegates to represent Virginia at the 54th annual meeting of the American Public Health Association in St. Louis, October 13-22. Virginia Town Reverses Itself On Segregation James A. Cobb, chairman of the legal committee of the Washington Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports that the City Council of Falls Church, Va., replaced a local segregation ordinance after they had been convinced of its unconstitutionality by Mr. Cobb's brief. The case arose when James Spencer a colored man bought property and applied for a permit to build which was denied him, Mr. Spencer applied for aid to the N. A. A. C. P. which challenged the constitutionality of the segregation ordinance invoked against Mr. Spencer. "In our presence the City Council unanimously on an Aye and Nay vote, repented the City Ordinance; after which they unanimously granted Spencer the permit to build. Then counsel for the corporation of Falls Church arose and said that he had received the brief by special delivery as promised and that it was a very able brief and asked for a vote of thanks for counsel for the defense for the assistance and aid given them in reaching their conclusion. The vote was unanimous. In other words, the City Council not only repealed the law but they did it in a big way." LABOR CONGRESS SCORES A. F. L. IN RESOLUTION Denounces Those Who Would Recruit Seabs Among Race Workers And Demands Affiliation With Organization Chicago, Ill.—The First American Negro Labor Congress is in session in this city this week. Between 50 and 60 delegates are in attendance and the meeting hall has been crowded with both white and colored workers. Lovett Fort-Whiteman, the national organizer of the Congress, is the moving spirit in this its first session. He is ably assisted by H. V. Phillips, its national secretary. It is said that telegrams of greetings, have been received by the Congress from labor organizations all over the world including the South African Industrial and Commercial Union of Negro Miners, the Peasants' International and the Defense League of Italian Peasants. At its opening session the Congress voted unanimously to endorse a resolution condemning the officialdom of the American Federation of Labor for refusing to organize the Negro workers into the existing unions, condemning those who seek profit by attempting to recruit scabs from among the colored workers, and demanding the immediate removal of all restrictions in all unions upon the membership of Negroes. PRICE 7 CENTS ROANOKEMAN URGES VOTERS SUPPORT HOGE Prominent Colored Republican Calls Attention To What He Terms Governmental Abuses That Must Be Corrected. SAYS STRONG MINORITY PARTY ONLY SOLUTION Roanoke, Va.—C. Tiffany Tolliver, a prominent business man of this city and a leading colored Republican of the State, has made public a statement in which he strongly urges the voters of the State to rally to the support of the Republican gubernatorial nominee, S. Harris Hoge, in the election of November 3rd. Names Abuses Mr. Tolliver calls attention to what he characterizes as the abuses in the State government, which he says it is generally conceded that the Democratic party has had more than its opportunity to correct. The issue of the present campaign, as discussed by candidate Hoge, avers. Mr. Tolliver, are "the abolition of the nefarious fee system; over taxation; centralization of governmental departments so as to prevent waste of energy and duplication of official duties, and a more same program for read building. These, he adds, are matters of vital concern to all the citizens of the Commonwealth, Mr. Hoge's announced educational policy which contemplates the expansion of education in the State also is called to the attention of the voters by the Roanoke man, who says that a vote for the Republican candidate is a vote in favor of those much needed improvements in the conduct of Virginia's government and a silent protest against all the ills of our present day governmental abuses in Virginia and not merely a vote for a Republican candidate. Mr. Tolliver's statement as made public here this week reads: Statement "On Tuesday, November 3, the voters of the Commonwealth of Virginia are expected to go to the polls and cast their vote for the candidates of their choice. It is understood, as usual those obligated to the Democratic party will vote the party ticket, and those devoted to the Republican party will vote the Republican ticket. There is a greater issue at stake, however, than the election of a Democrat or Republican for Governor of the State of Virginia. States The Issues It is generally conceded by the leading daily publications of the State, that the Democratic party of the State has had more than its opportunity to give the State an economic and progressive Government, it is also conceded, that unless an 'about-face' is taken in the conduct of affairs of the State during the next four years, a minority party will be placed in control. These comments were made after the issues of the present campaign were discussed by Mr. Hoge, matters of immediate interest to all the citizens of the Commonwealth, including the abolition of the nefarious fee system; over taxation; centralization of governmental departments so as to prevent waste of energy and duplication of official duties; to cut out overlapping and a more sane program for the building of good roads in Virginia, Explains A Hoge Vote A vote for S. Harris Hoge for Governor is a vote in favor of these much needed improvements in the conduct of the government of the State, and a warning to the present party in power that the desires of the people must be satisfied and their just grievances ameliorated. "Every vote cast for S. Harris Hoge is a silent protest against all the ills of our present day governmental abuses in Virginia and not merely a vote for a Republican candidate. "We therefore urge that you protest against the present burdens inflicted on the common people by the Democratic party by voting for S. Harris Hoge. "C. TIFANY TOLLIVER."

WASHINGTON SCHOOL--A PROSPECTUS In considering the occupations of the school as a manifestation of its community life, it is readily seen that it includes all those organizations and activities which in any way serve as a means for the development of the expressional side of feeling, thought and character. Athletics have never been made an end in themselves in the Booker T. Washington High School, but have been encouraged to promote physical fitness and to develop those qualities which athletics so admirably promote. The Booker T. Washington Athletic teams have won many hard fought games and have missed others by such narrow margins as to keep the winners extremely anxious all the way. It has been said of the athletic team in all the games it has played, it has played hard and it has played clearly. Nor is an appreciation for the finer things of life neglected here. While we have no organized courses in music or art, or instructors assigned to that phase of work in its scheme of education, yet in a large measure these are featured in the various activities of the school with excellent results. The scheme of education here includes health, cleanliness, community interest and scholastic programs. Drives, contests and intensive interest plans are employed to promote these, coming in the form of Better English or Better Speech week, Boys' Week, Girls' Week, Better Posture Week, Better Attendance Week, and others. The Booker T. Washington High School as it stands today, is a wonderful tribute to those who is genius fashioned it, and to that community which has supported it during its development.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE WORKERS START IN COMMUNITY FUND CAMPAIGN (Continued from Page One) that held the audience in rapt attention she commanded one of her attendants to open the chest and report the amount required to fill it. Obeying the command, the attendant stepped forward hearing a huge key, unlocked and opened the Community Chest and informed Miss Norfolk that $8,500 was the amount required to fill it. Miss Norfolk then delivered a striking and most touching appeal for the filling of the chest, explaining that its contents were to be devoted to human service and that those filling it would be serving humanity. Leaders Make Speeches Following Miss Eagannall's address, brief and pointed speeches pleading hearty support to the campaign were made by the majors of the various companies. These included Rev. R. H. Bowling, Mr. W. M. Rich, Mrs. M. E. Gordon, Mrs. P. B. Young, Mrs. Ruth Bass, Mrs. Wilhelmina, Dr. S. F. Coppage, Mrs. B. A. Cromwell, Berkley ward; Mrs. W. A.

C. A. enlivened the occasion with songs, music and lusty cheers.

Permits were held up last year until May. This year permits were issued in March for only 6 months. They expired in June; then we operated under temporary permits for 60 days. In September the final 6 months permits were issued to individual operators instead of to the Association. When the permits were issued to The Association, we were able to demand better service of the operators.

HAMPTON-SHAW CLASSIC HERE NOVEMBER 7TH Thousands Expected to CrowdLeagueParktoSee Virginians-Carolinians Bookers Come From Behind To Down Norcom 14 to 6 PAGE FOUR HAMP Thousands CrowdLeagu Virginians One of the finest and most stubbornly fought football classics of the 1925 season is expected to be yitnessed here next Saturday, November 7, when the "Bears" of Shaw University meet the "Seaiders" of Hampton Institute in their annual epidron clash Both Hampton and Shaw have three more conference games before the end of the Intercollegiate season. Hampton has suffered only one defeat this year, which came from the Dragons of Virginia Seminary. There is no doubt that the Seasiders are contemplating, in a more defeats before the final games of this season. Shaw fell before the "Panthers" of Union, but it was a hard game and the score was 7 to 3. There are many football followers in this section who believe that the "Bears" anticipate their game with Hampton as their most important match and are reserving everything so as to uncork it against the Seasiders. Regardless of how the score goes, the game is certain to be a classic, not only from the viewpoint of the gridiron but as a social festivity as well. Both of these schools have hundred of alumni hereabouts or within easy striking distance of this city and thousands of followers and sympathizers. These supporters will be in the city in borders, there is not doubling, and banners and streamers representing the colors of both schools will be in abundance. An excursion will probably come Bookers Come To Down N Unable to stand the gaff of two games in five days, with much of the original fight missing and several stars knocked out of the solar system in the first half of the game, the Fighting Bookers staged a strong comeback in the second frame that earned two touchdowns to down the scrappy Norcom eleven, with the count standing 14-6. In the first half of the game, Norcom sprang a surprise and played the Bookers off their feet, registering four first downs and a tally when Johnsonmuffed a punt on the bring up. The Booker Washington squad was unable to check the onslaught of the Portsmouth team, and was rarely capable of stopping Doughty, a big numbering block, short of eight and ten yards. This Norcom grader was a veritable battering ram and bore the brunt of the offensive work for his eleven. Norcom received the kick at the beginning of the game and brought the ball up for 20 yards before being stopped. Overton ripped off seven and Doughtry added 2 more. At this point Norcom received the first of the numerous penalties imposed during the scramble. Nottington was forced out of the fray with a dislocated finger and was replaced by W. Tolliver, who held up his end of the work in grand style. Booker Washington had her second string men in the line up first, but Norcom began to pound these youngsters so hard and frequently for good yardage and first downs and the regulars had to go to the rescue of the toterting second string finemen. Here the Bookers stiffened a trifle and somewhat retarded the progress of Big Boy Doughtry for a short spasm, but he soon found himself again and began to run wild for good gains. Norcom was just the master in the first half and prospects looked very gloomy for Washington and took on a darker aspect when Johnson fumbled on Norcom's punt. Barnes garnered the pigskin in one swoop and shot across for the Portsmouth team's first and only score. Doughty whirled and squirmed for eight and nine yards almost at will and the fightless Fighting Bookers, seemingly could not find themselves to stop this attack. All during the first half, mainstays for the locals were forced out of the game on account of injuries and a few were hurt who remained in the game, "Bob" Tolliver, "Pap" Tynes; Nottingham and Williams went out, but the first two went back in the second half and accounted for the winning scores for Booker Washington. And The Bookers Came Back The second half opened with Norcom receiving the kick. After several thrusts at the Booker's line, which proved fruitless, she was forced to punt out of danger. The Fighting Bookers were maddened smelled blood and set about the hard task of snatching victory out of the throes of seeming defeat, Norcom fell short on her punt and the Bookers took the ball on the 20 yard line and Johnson hit for ten. On the next play, a pass was attempted and was incomplete behind Norcom's goal giving her the ball on the 20 yard line. At this point the local high school received a penalty giving Norcom more yardage. After the team from across the pond failed to dent the line of the Fighting Bookers, she pointed out of danger. On the in from North Carolina bringing the Shawites. The student body of Hampton Institute, followed by hundreds of sympathizers will come over campus. Local football fans are hopeful that the Hampton Institute Band will come over with the team as it did during the Hampton-St. Paul contest. No one in Norfolk has seen a more colorful spectacle than was witnessed at League Park on that occasion when Hampton rooters marched around the park in military formation with the blue and white in the ascendance. Many of the spectators present, who probably did not understand enough about football to get a real thrill out of watching the game, certainly got thrills a plenty out of the fine demonstration of the Hampton spirit. Aside from the game, the colorful scene itself was worth the price of admission. It is certain that this scene will be duplicated on a larger scale at the game at League Park next Saturday, inasmuch as Shaw followers here are about as numerous as Hampton sympathizers. Social Festival At Night Following the game a big reception will be held at Thyllis Wheatley Garden at night. This will come as a climax to a day of royal entertainment. The game is scheduled to get underway at 2:30 o'clock and patrons are advised to get into the park early. From Behind lorcom 14 to 6 Bookers first play, W. Tolliver took the oval 12 yards and first down. Tynes hit for eleven and another first down. The Bookers were romping now and nothing short of a tidal wave, cloudburst, cyclone or earthquake could prevent them from registering. Johnson added four, closely followed by Ross who annexed seven. Tolliver went for five more yards. Tyner for two, Ross for three and a half and Johnson added 6 yards, placing the ball on Norcem's 6 yard line from which point Tynes went over and Johnson added the extra point to foulge ahead. But this was not enough for the Bookers. They were one point ahead and wanted more. Booker Washington received the kickoff on her 31 yard line and punted after two attempts to work the ball up the field. N o r e u m punted in return and Johnson brought the ball up for 15 yards. Tolliver hit for seven and Tynes added four, with Tynes following with 10% yards. Booker Washington continued to rip and tear at Norcem's line, until the ball was worked down to Norcem's 24-yard line, with Johnson. Tynes and Tolliver in the backfield bearing the brunt of the work. A 20 yard pass from Johnson to "Bob" Tolliver accounted for Booker's second tally and Johnson annexed the extra point. Coach Ward had his aggregation in fine fettle for this contest and a good bit of better form was shown over that displayed in the Norcom-St. Joseph game.

C., Oct. 23—Last Friday at the University Park, Conch Williams' "Bulls" trampled all over Benedict College. The ill luck that stayed with the "Bulls" all through the game between the Howard "Bisons" continued to be a constant visitor in the game Friday. The Gold and Blue fumbled at critical moments of the battle. Benedict kicked to the 10 yard line, received by Caviness, the forward pass genius, behind good interference he ran 25 yards. On a line fake Martin fumbled and paved the way for a field goal for Benedict. Graham's toe doing the work. Martin redeemed himself a few minutes later by tearing through right tackle for 35 yards, placing the ball on Benedict's 5 yard line. On the last down the "Bulls" fumbled again one yard from the goal. Defensive Too Much Benedict was held to only 2 first downs, these coming in the last quarter. While Johnson C. Smith piled up 14. As they raced for the ends they were cut down by Harris and Vanlandingham. As they tried the line, they were piled up. The work of the entire team was far above par. The last period found the Gold and Blue fighting with their backs to the walls. Caviness was the most successful ground gainer of Star Punter V BAKER, star quarterback of V. N. & I. L., whose sensational point of 85 yards in the Hampton-V. N. & I. L. game Saturday thrilled the spectators. His great took kept the Hilltoppers out of serious danger throughout the game. the game, advancing every time he carried the ball for a total of 120 yards and making the only touchdown of the game. Starting from midfield through criss-crosses, the plunging of Caviness and the famous aerial attack formulated by Coach Williams, the ball was carried to the 12 yard line. The visitors defense crumbled before the powerful attack of the "Bulls," and Caviness ploughed through right tackle for the lone touchdown. Martin's toe failed to annex the extra point. It was the most brilliant and spectacle in a game played on the local grid. Substitutes: Johnson S. Smith—Murphy, Douglas, Mckieathan and Blue, Benedict—Hughes, L. McFarlane and Brown.

Morehouse Yields To Tuskegee Atlanta, Ga., October 24—In the game with their traditional foe here today, the Tuskegee Tigers defeated the Maroon team of Morehouse and made their third step on the rung of the ladder for championship honors in the Southeastern Conference. Enthusiastic supporters of both institutions from all sections of the South came here today and saw the Tiger combination reveal itself as the real "Wonder Team of Dixie." Jefferson, the big Tuskegee guard received the Maroon kick-off and was downed in his tracks. With Steward, Stevenson and Bailey carrying the ball the Cadets reached the Maroon team's 25 yard line from which point, in five minutes after the ball had been put in play, Stevenson sent the oval threw for a kick from placement. A bad pass by the Morehouse center, recovered by I. Robinson, on the Maroon one's yard line, paved the way for the Crimson team's first touchdown. On the play that followed, Smith, quarterback, carried the ball over. Shortly afterwards, Stevenson, Tuskegee's triple-threat man, received the ball on his 20 yard line and by defy dodging the Maroon tacklers, squeezed and squirmed his way to the open field and made a thrilling run of 80 yards for a touchdown. Third Touchdown The third and last touchdown by the Tiger team was made by Stevenson who dropped back on a fake kick formation and circled right end for 15 yards and a touchdown. These touchdowns were widened into the extra points by Stevenson and Steward. The Morehouse eleven showed unusual strength in the third quarter, and tore through the Crimson forward line for gain after gain and finally placed the ball on Tuskegee's one yard line, but were held for downs. Many of the long forward passes attempted by the Maroon team were broken up and their famous triple pass, though well executed, was not successful. Tuskegee added three to its score in this quarter when Stevenson, from a difficult angle, stood on the 40 yard line and sent the sphoroid over for the final scoring of the Crimson team. In the closing moments of the fourth quarter, Morehouse again took the and by a well-executed pass inside the Crimson team's five yard line carried the ball over for their only touchdown. Stewart failed to add the extra point by an attempted dropkick. Stevenson, Tuskegee's triple-threat man, demonstrated to the, vast strong why he was the All-American choice last year. His 80 yard run for a touchdown and wonderful hunting throughout the game featured his work. Isaac Robinson showed the best end play seen in the South this season. Tondee, Captain Irwin, Archer and Clarke held the spot for Morehouse. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE CLASSIC The Hampto Thanksgiv To Be A The Hampton-Union Thanksgiving Game To Be A Gala Event BY THOMAS W. WOUNG Hampton, Va., Oct. 24—Thanksgiving Day will bring together again in Richmond, Va., two old-time rivals, whose competitive record during the past twenty years has been a long struggle for gridiron supremacy. Hampton and Union, during the past four years, have waged fierce and close battles, each team having won two games. All of these contests have borne close scores, the long end of which was earned only through sheer perseverance combined with a grand last-minute rally. In 1921, Union took an easy, victory at 12-3; the following year the Seasiders balanced the books with an 8-7 win; in 1923 the Panthers again took the lead at 7-6, only to have Hampton in a commemorable up-hill fight snatch another victory, 19-12, to even up the count last Thanksgiving Day. The 1925 encounter will bear unexpected importance not only on the balanced record of recent games between the schools, but also on the C. I. A. A.'s highest award. Every effort is being expended in preparation for this classic of the South. Union has purchased knock-down bleachers to accommodate the immense crowds expected to witness the clash. The entertainment side of the occasion will be widely looked after. No longer is there doubt about the calibre of the Capital City's power to entertain in an extensive and whosome fashion, since the Elks invaded Richmond last summer. An evening of unparalleled entertainment is anticipated after the game. Loving Cup To Winner An additional feature to intensify the spirit of competition is a handsome loving cup which will be awarded to the winning team. This trophy is awarded by Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Slaughter, who sent the following communication: "The Richmond people are very enthusiastic over the football game between Union and Hampton on Thanksgiving Day. They are planning to make it more of a success than it has been at any time before, although it was a decided success year before last. I wish to say that the game is played in Richmond." Hundreds of fans from Hampton, Newport News, and Norfolk are planning to make the trip, besides a large crowd of Hampton students who will also journey to Richmond on Thanksgiving Day. Plans are being considered seriously to have the Hampton Institute Cadet Band of 55 pieces accompany the rooters. This feature alone lends interest enough to the affair to warrant a record-breaking event. TIGERS SUCCUMB TO ONSLAUGHT OF PANTHERS Richmond, Va., Oct. 24—The St. Paul Tiger fell before the offensive of the Union Panther by the score of 12 to 0 last Saturday, while a steady drizzle made the footing on霍威 Field slow and uncertain. Va. Union outclassed St. Paul but the famous Panther whirlwind backs could not do their best running due to the muddy field. First Touchdown In 9 Minutes With three of the Association's most brilliant gridiron satellites, Tobin, center, and Shields and Boffman, backs, leading a determined offensive, Union's aggressive eleven literally marched on to two well-earned touchdowns. Boffman carried the pigskin 11 yards around right end over for the first touchdown after Shields raced 41 yards, after receiving a punt. This tally came after 9 minutes of play. Second Touchdown The second touchdown came when St. Paul fumbled on the 19 yard line and Ridley recovered. Then Shields hit off tackle twice for 11yards; Boffman bucked line for 6 yards and Shields plunged across goal line for another score. Tobin, playing a hang-up game at center, and breaking up many plays before they formed, received a kickoff on the 35 yard line and raced 26 yards down the field. As the whistle ended the much-heralded grid contest, it was interesting to note that Union's goal line has not been crossed this season, although the Panthers have been pitted against some of the best elevens in the Association.

Fumbles and severe penalties aided the Jarvisites in getting within 12 feet of the goal. Grant in successive line plunges carried the ball over for Jarvis' touchdown. Texas College gained in the second and half in the exchange of punts. A blocked kick recovered by Jones beyond the goal line gave Coach Lang's men their six points. Grant starred for Jarvis, while Ford and Jones did stellar work for Texas College. Coaches Lang and Pierce of Atlanta University are drilling their men hard for the Conference schedule, which opens against Paul Quinn at Waco on October 23. Three important games will be played here. Bishop College furnishing opposition on October 30 and Samuel Houston and Prairie View on November 11th and 26th, respectively. Texas College closes the season against Wiley College, at Marshall on December 5th. Brick Wallops Henderson 18-7 Bricks, N. C.—The Brick Junior College, Green Panthers beat the Henderson Tigers by the tune of 18-7. The score does not indicate how hard the game was fought from beginning to end. Sweeping like a fierce beast, Brick went over for the first touchdown, in the first few minutes of play on straight line plays. Henderson duplicated the same feat and also scored. When Brick solved the Henderson attack, her goal line was never in danger throughout the rest of the game. On playing a ripping, tearing and forward passing game, Brick scored two more touchdowns. Other stars of the game were M. Owens, George Stevens, C. Jones, and the brain work of Captain Long.

SEMINARYROUTS LIVINGSTONE TO TUNE OF 36-3 B) J. W. DUNCAN Lynchburg, Va.—The game played Friday, October 23, between Livingstone and Seminary in the latters backyard, started with little enthusiasm. In first three minutes of play Seminary made a safety. After that she made three spectacular fumbles, giving Livingstone chance for a placement kick which was taken advantage of to perfection. Livingstone made two gooded runs, but not once did she go through the Dragon's line. The first quarter ended 3-2 in favor of the N. C.'s. Seminary neared her goal several times during the second quarter, but on account of fumbles failed to score. The end of the half was the same as the first quarter. In the second half Seminary run away with Livingstone; the first five minutes spelling the first touchdown, making the score 9-3, Seminary leading. With the entire mythologically impenetrable Dugon lineup, touchdowns were made until the score was swelled finally to 36-3. It was amusing to see Capt. Windee, after each touchdown was made, carry his team back to try for another. Outstanding stars of the Seminary team were Stewart, Brown, Perry, and Windee.

The contest was evenly matched thrust out with both teams holding a stonelike resistance which was not easily broken. The field was extremely muddy. Smith, for Livingstone, punched the scores in the second quarter by blocking a punt by Williams, fullback for the 'Blue Devils' and running a five yard distance for a touchdown, the first half ended in a 6-0 lead of Livingstone.

AGAINST LINCOLN-1919 Kicking has been an important factor in the game of football since the institution of the sport. It has not only been an important department of the wine and for this season, all coaches have placed much stress on this phase of the game and have given much time to the developing of this art, because an art, it is. Many brilliant and good kickers have come and gone, leaving behind them, many impaints on numerous pigskins and many records, yet to be paralleled. Among those toe artists who have stood out and are yet the talk of the football cir- cles are, Colling, of Lincoln; Bender, of Hampton; Pinderhughes, of Howard; "Cute" Carter of Howard; Gunn, of Hampton; Huegel, of Union; Crudup, of Lincoln and Alen Jackson, of Union. Some of the other good kickers are: Lee, of Lincoln; Forber, of Howard; Ward, of Wilberforce and Stevenson, of Tuskegee. Of course, no attempt is made here to name all of the star, brilliant and good kickers, just a few of those who have made names for themselves in this department of the gridiron game, therefore, many names that can be remembered by the old timers may I miss from this list. Kicking did not become an art until recent years, with the introduction of the spiral kick, which LYNNHAVEN Sunday school lesson was reviewed by Rev. D. G. Jacox. At 12:30, the pastor, Rev. W. A.

Those who came to the foreground in this department of modern kicking were: Collins, of Lincoln, who performed during the years of '10, '11, '12, '13. Collins was very good in placement kicks and punting, being considered as the daddy of punters and placement kickers. Collins had a very pleasing form in his kicking. Bender of Hampton, between 1909 and '13 performed well as a great kicker. Bender was related to the Chief Bender of Major League baseball fame. Pinderhughes, of Howard, 1914 to '18, also comes in for his share of honors in the kicking realm. He was especially good at drop-kicking. Frank Fords, Howard, '11 to '15 was a kicker of ability. Among the modes, beginning around 1918, "Cate" Carter, of Howard, rolled and held his own with the good ones. He was chiefly responsible for saving Howard from a drubbing from Lincoln in 1919. Every time Lincoln drove the ball down within striking distance and lost it by some odd circumstance, Carter was always successful in booting the oval far down the field out of the danger zone. He got 70 yards on one kick. This feat of his in the game of 1919, can be safely said, prevented the Lions from scoring. And on down the line comes Hulos. SPORT TRAIL W.

Gunn had somewhat of a peculiar style, only being able to kick directly in front of him and under the most favorable conditions. He hore no hurrying.

LINCOLN LIONS TAKE DRUBBING FROM WILBERFORCE 25 TO ZERO Wilberforce, O., Oct. 24.—By the sheer power of its plunging, sure-footed backfield on a swirling bog of gridiron, Wilberforce University crushed the Lincoln University Lion, 25 to 0, and is now marching toward a National Championship. While Howard University, which plays, Lincoln in the Eastern Classic was being held by West Virginia which plays Wilberforce in the Western Thanksgiving Classic at Columbus, Lincoln was sent to its most humiliating defeat in many years of recent football campaigning. And it all can be traced to the crushing offense of Wilberforce's mighty line and the uncannily sure footedness of Ritchie, Wu Fang Ward, Harding, Redden, and other Force backs on this veritable sea of mud. Especially was the ability of Ward and Ritchie noteworthy. One of the finest exhibitions of broken-field running ever seen on any field was afforded by Ritchie. Prancing, sidestepping whirling,—always forward to the inevitable goal—Ritchie swept or to the heights of brilliance on a muddy field while his opponents foundered and slipped and became unrecognizable in the coating of mud that clung to them. Wu Fang Ward. Wilberforce's all-star, by the power and daring of his attack was the real star of the day, offensively and defensively. On the kickoff, he received the ball and made a fine run to put his team in scoring position. While the Lions, undefeated champions in 1924 of the East, were unable to get a footing, the Wolverines of 'Force were able to. Rashing surely and powerfully, the Westerners were soon on the I yard line, from where Ward made one spectacular plunge for the first touchdown, a touchdown which would have won the game, for Lincoln could not muster, its forces today. Lincoln had no Jazz Bydr to bring it from the jaws of defeat to the glory of victory as in other years. Its backs were smeared constantly by Wilberforce linemen and backs before they could get started. And to add to its hard luck of defeat, Lincoln had one of its most dependable linemen, Henry, put out for the season with a badly broken ankle, and one of its backs, Brown taken from the field injured. At the end of the first quarter the score stood 6-0 in favor of Wilberforce, as it did until the last whistle. Ritchie failed to k i c k goal for the extra point, and small wonder. The football today could have been greased and loaded with lead and been as easy to throw or kick. The wonder is that Wilberforce backs threw so many wellaimed passes and punted so well they did. Lincoln, with Lee Anderson, and Goodman kicking was about even in this department of the game. In the second quarter, no score was made. Ritchie was hurt, but stuck. Runs by Ward and Harding and a beautiful pass, Ward to Harding, good for 37 yards, featured this period. The half ended Wilberforce 6, Lincoln 0. Wilberforce a terror In the last half Wilberforce ripped Lincoln's line to shreds, traced around the ends and plunged through the line for spectacular scores, two of which came to Ward by very long dashes to the goal. Early in the second period Harding, who played a fine open field game, traced around Lincoln's right end for the second score. His run was made from the 9-yard line. The try for the extra point failed. Then in the period, Ward received a Lincoln pounce on Lincoln's 35-yard line and ran around Lincoln's left end for a touchdown. Ritchie kicked goal for the extra point and the score was 19-0. Scores came fast in this period, just after the kickoff and an exchange of punts.

Va.—The pigskin warriors of West Virginia College Institute, of Institute, W. Va., and Howard University, of Washington, D. C., battled to at scoreless tie at Laidley Field, Saturday afternoon, October 24, before a crowd variously estimated as between 4,000 and 5,000. The game was played on a field full of mud and clay, which made it difficult for either team to get down to its regular stride. Coles, of Howard, forced the breaking of the ground by the defense of the holding them in tacmwptshrdl "Bisons", picking his men and holding them intact. A whole section in midfield was reserved for Governor Gore of West Virginia and his staff. The Governor arrived shortly before game time and stayed to the end, discussing the plays with J. Walter Barnes, member of the State Board of Control, and President John W. Davis, of West Virginia Collegiate Institute. Mud Obscures Players Identity of the players was difficult shortly after the start of the game due to the condition of the field. Howard started off with the Virginia thought "we must beat West Virginia" and scored first down after first down through the line of the "Yellow Jackets." Howard made seven first downs in the first half to one for Institute. Due to a fumble in the second half West Virginia marched to Howard's ten yard line. An attempted end run by the "Yellow Jackets" resulted in a fifteen yard loss as Captain Long, of the "Bisons" was a little too fast for the boys. Then the "Yellow Jackets" tried the forward pass route but the stellar work of Howard's backfield crushed everything in the air. At no time did the Institute stand a chance to score. Lowry, of the "Yellow Jackets" was the most consistent ground gainer, while Wilson and Galters played stellar ends. Tyson, of Howard was Howard's best ground gainer, but this was due to the interference of that powerful coached backfield of the "Bisons." THE LINEUP Howard—0 W. Va.—0 Long L. E. Nelson V. Smith L.

Quite likely the teachers will be addressed by some distinguished speaker, who will be in the city at that time to address the white teachers meeting which will be in session on the same dates. The attitude of Superintendent Harris II a r t, expressed to Prof. D. G. Jacox, secretary of the association, on the matter of speakers gives assurance that there will be at least one speech from a distinguished educator. In a recent letter to Mr. Jacox, Superintendent Hart said: "I have yours of October 20, Mr. Gresham and I will do what we can to steer to your Association any really distinguished speaker who may be listed for the white teachers' association at Norfolk." Added evidence of the interest the State Department of Education is manifesting in the colored teachers, and endeavoring to raise their standards is disclosed in a letter Mr. Hart addressed the division superintendents prior to the opening of schools for this term. In this connection Mr. Hart said: "When your schools open this fall in addition to announcing the meeting of the State Teachers' Association for white teachers at Norfolk; Virginia November 25-27, I would be glad if you would announce also that the Negro Teachers' Association will meet at Norfolk from the evening of November 25th to the 27th. "Whatever the number of teachers justify it, I think you will do well to encourage the formation of a county Negro Association to be a part of the State Negro Association. All such local groups ought to be affiliated with the State past. An effort put forth would greatly improve the training of Negro teachers. Of course one means is thru a constructive program-which may be adopted by the Negro Teachers' Association. In order for this Association to function properly, it is necessary for it to have local associations affiliated with it with regular delegates appointed to the State Association. "May I therefore ask that you not only announce this meeting, but also number of your teachers justify it, enlarge the local organization to become affiliated with the State organizations? The Secretary of the State Association is Mr. D. G. Jacox, John T. West School, Norfolk, Virginia." Wait for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights of next week and go to the Phyllis Wheatley Gardens, when the Women's Guild of Grace P. E. Church will hold their Harvest Festival.

Washington high school. Among those attending her funeral were teachers a n d friends of both Booker T. Washington and John T. West schools. Her funeral was conducted October 16 at 2:30 o'clock. The funeral procession left the home at 1236 Armstrong street, for Tabernacle Baptist Church, where eulogies were conducted by Rev. S. M. Thompson, the pastor. After listening to the beautiful resolutions and testimonials coming from the many friends and schoolmates and other interesting remarks, the pastor made a message to feel the value of living a Christian and worthwhile life. Sister Ellis was laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery in a beautiful white satin shroud and a beautiful couch cushion, which was lowered into her earthly bed amidst a shower of flowers. The following persons and organizations gave flowers: Tabernaecile Baptist Church, Choir, M. M. Perry, Mrs. Iseell Davis, Mrs. B. J. Sutton, Mrs. Hennington Riddick and Mrs. Beatrice C. Thomas; Jeannette Davis, playmates, Mrs. Blanche Keeling, Mrs. Powell, the family, Laurie Outear, Mrs. Ecopaleb, G. W. Williams, classmates 7-A Grade, Booker T.

NEBO LIFTS PARSONAGE DEBT IN RECORD TIME Church At West Point, Va. And Pastor Clear $6,000 Mortgage In Less Than 4 Years. REV. L. V. JEFFRIES. Pastor of Mt. Neba Baptist Church, West Point, Va. West Point, Va.—About 4 years ago the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, of this place erected a beautiful building of $6,000. Soon after this the Rev. L. V. JEffries was called to this field. He took charge in March, 1922, at which time not a penny had been paid on the building. Divine Leadership Divine Leadership Through the leadership of God, Rev. Jeffries organized thoroughly the church with a membership of less than 200, and set about working to lift the burden from the hearts and shoulders of the people. Earnest prayer was made to God and at the end of 7 weeks enough money was raised. The note which was $1360 Six months later in answer to prayer $1,200 was raised and the 2nd note was met, thus meeting two notes the first year. The two succeeding years the sums of $1,400 and $1,600 were raised respectively. This was considered marvelous by the entire town and men and women praised God for answering prayer. But these drives, as wonderful as they may seem are not to be compared with the final drive which took place on Sunday night, October 18, 1925. $2,000 was set as the goal. This amount of money plus interest was needed to wipe out the two remaining notes against the property. As before earnest prayer and plenification should be made. God and inspired the hearts of the members as never before. The members of the church worked uninteringly day and night. Friends, both colored and white gave liberally to the cause. The goal was reached and, passed and the sum of $2,709 was raised. Truly this was a Red Letter Day in the history of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church. Friends from Gloucester, Middlesex, King and Queen, New Kent, and King William counties and white friends in town turned out in large numbers to express their interest in the work. Commend Pastor The members of the church feel that too much cannot be said in commendation of the pastor, Rev. Jeffries. This splendid young man, with God on his side, has led this people successfully during the past 3½ years. During his partateer the church has grown with an addition of about 145 members. Mission work has flourished as the poor and needy have the help and blessed the lot adjacent to the church has been purchased and ultimately $1,500 has been raised. Rev. Jeffries is a firm believer in prayer and trusts implicitly in the leadership of God. B. T.

The newspaper in supposed to have eyes and ears everywhere and of course must know everything—and it usually does—but that was one thing that the inquiring reporter was having a rather hard time digging up for the local branch had been inactive, dead, so long. It was brought out at a recent meeting of the association at 00 Clay street, when Mr. Bagnall spoke, that there had once been a very strong and active branch here that functioned well with Mrs. Maggie L. Walker as president but for some reason or other interest began to lag and the branch wept down until most people had almost forgotten that there was ever a branch here.

MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD The Memorial Services of the Ascension. Beneficial Club was held at the Sixth Mt. Zion Church, Sunday afternoon at 8:20. This great old church, the personnel of which is of the highest order, was organized in 1900, and throughout these years it has been just what its initials stand for A. B. C., which means that it has been out in front and has taken the lead in many things for the welfare and the bottomment of the community. The A. B. C. was among the first organizations to put up the barrier which barred from membership any one, regardless of how well qualified otherwise, who was not a qualified voter. Many and varied are the worthwhile things that this splendid club has fostered and have gotten behind and pushed to the front. Over a span of 25 years they have lost but 19 members, whose memories the entire membership of the club holds dear. 'An exceptionally well-arranged program was executed. Rev. A. W.

Travelers' Aid activities are varied. It matters not what the nature of the case, what the need may be Travelers' Aid will serve. Thousands of bits of information and directions are given monthly at the railroad stations and steamboat terminals.

The timid weak old lady is helped on her way; the nervous and confused man or woman is shown the clearer way; the innocent girl is advised just in time to be saved from a bad step; the runaway boy is returned to his parents, and children, traveling alone, are helped across the country. The stranded traveler is helped so that he can continue his journey. friends and relatives are located just at the time when hope of them was gone. Look for Travelers' Aid at the station. Anybody that's human can go to Traveler's Aid. Look for the badge. This is the work of Travelers' Aid. Would you give a dollar to save what thousands of dollars would not redeem?

Over" IPAIG ADVISES EARLY MARRIAGES IN UNIQUE SERMON To make sure that Rev. Richard H. Bowling has struck upon some mighty timely topics one needs but to follow the crowds that are listening to his present series of sermons on courtship and marriage. His theme Sunday night; October 18, was "How-People Ought To Marry." Among the many helpful things said was that people ought to marry with the willing consent of both families and with due publicity. He declared that secret marriages and later announcements often cast a shadow of suspicion over innocent parties. Early Marriages Continuing he declared, "People should marry early, before health and youthful vigor have begun to mature. Both are necessary to successful marriage, but years play no favorites with these two priceless possessions. Besides, your children need the benefit of years of parental companionship. Each child is due not merely your body and your economic wealth but your character. As to the former two, your body and your material possessions, you can give him the one in a few brief months, the other by a few lines of writing at your death. But as to the high priests and holy faiths that have made you what you are—the can only be passed through the intimacies of years of daily contact, your children are to be more than your mere flesh and bone, they must have years of parental companionship. On lly early marriage renders this probable for the most of us. Not For Money "And he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. Here were reasons for marriage which money and the outside show of society could not touch. Isaac had been made the sole heir of Abraham, wealthy patriarch. Kings and princes were ready to treat with these powerful tribal chieftans. But there were two aching voids in the young man's life which neither of these facts could fill. For three or four long years librarians had not been what it used to be, and the gene. The tandem companionship which only a good woman could offer was no longer his. And then there were the unsatisfied longings of a strong man whole being. He had urges not only for companionship but for love, for the body and soul of a woman who could be attractive to him. Companionship and Love "Then came the day of days. A lovely maid, beautiful and blushing is hastily covering her face with a veil. Time moves rapidly. And Isaiah brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her in the world after his mother's death." Companionship and love in the beginning God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him." Two short chapters of only fifty-six verses are used to describe the creation of the world, the institution of the Sabbath, and the sanctioning of marriage. But when the sacred writer gets ready to describe love he takes fifty-seven verses and the whole book to tell of an ancient love match and its consummation in happy marriage. It was companionship and love in ancient Palestine. It takes companionship and love in old Virginia." At the close of his sermon the speaker announced still another subject for treatment this coming Sunday night, namely, "How People Ought To Keep House." Miss Irene Taylor will sing a solo and a group of spirituals at the service this Sunday night. This will be Miss Taylor's last appearance before leaving for Philadelphia. Conducts Noon-Day Meetings at Factory Rev. J. C. Diamond, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Berkley avenue conducts noon-day services at Barne's Box Factory, Berkley Ward, for the benefit of the large number of colored employees at the plant.

BAPTIST MINISTERS CONFERENCE NOTES On Monday a large number of the brethren assembled at the 1st Calvary Baptist Church to hear Rev. S. L. Scott deliver a very practical and instructive address, subject: "Helpful Suggestions In Conducting Revivals. Next Monday, Rev. W. A. Baker will discuss: "Necessary Reforms in Funeral Arrangements." MONUMENTAL A. M. E. CHURCH At the Sunday school hour the classes were alert with discussions. At 11:30 o'clock, Rev. Clark spoke from the subject: "Prayer and Courage." Beginning with a definition of prayer, and its nature, he portrayed the life of the Christian, in which, prayer is the essential element. Rev. Clark outlined the results of prayer, courage, as follows: Practical courage—strength to overcome daily habits of living and thinking, power to combat with passions and desires, Courage to live ones' own life, express own opinions and experiences. Courage to stand for truth and right in the face of oppression and courage to obey God's will. Here, with striking effect, Rev. Clark presented the stories of Abraham, who made the supreme sacrifice, and of Daniel, who, undaunted by foes, had that courage that overcame death and the grave. At the close of this service three accessions were made. In the afternoon, by special request, the pastor delivered a sermon in Newport News, returning at night to fill his pulpit, where he spoke from the subject: "Dry Bones." After the sermon, Mrs. Sarah Lomax, in behalf of the senior steward board spoke. The junior church is making itself a potent factor here. factor here. The fall trally is now launched, and members are already vieing to excel the goal. ST. MARK'S A. M. E. PRAYER MEETING BAND Prayer Meeting Charity Band No. 1, held its fifth anniversary Sunday last. The welcome address was delivered by Mr. George E. Wright. Papers were read by the Mmes. Estelle Fields, Rebecca Turned, Daisy Brown. Remarks were made by Messrs. B. Lewis and W. M. Russell. Mr. J. B. Hall delivered the annual lecture. The band was organized September 8, 1920 by Rev. A. L. Seruggs, who was at that time pastoring this church. Its purpose is to care for the sick and disabled members of the church. The choir rendered choice selections at the service, which was well attended. years as president of Colored United Charities, in which capacity he has come closely in contact with the economic status of his people. In his early years as pastor in this city he was much of the cruiser type of minister, having taken on an active part in the pulpit vs barrion fight which centered in certain sections of the city. Dr. Williams is also president of the Baptist General Association of the State, and a trustee of some educational institutions under auspices of the Baptist Denomination. 'Tree of Life' Pageant A Success The pageant, "The True of Life," presented Tuesday evening, September 29, at the First Baptist Church was a beautiful entertainment. No one witnessing it will soon forget the scene of the parade of the missionary circles, which took a part in this affair. Each circle had its color and banner, bearing its motto, Missionary Service, marching song, a basket of fruit with a dollar bill pinched on the same f o r sick, missions and education. The campaign for new members and finance had been on for 10 days. The reports were as follows: Second Calvary Baptist Church: new members, 25; amount, $11.80. Queen St. Baptist Church: new members, 5; amount, $36.00. Shiloh Baptist Church: new members, 3; amount, $38.15. St. John A. M. E. Church: new members, 86; amount, $64.40. Bethel Baptist Church: new members, 4; amount, $0.76. First Baptist Church, Lambert's Point: new members, 10; amount, $16.05. First Baptist Church, Norfolk: new members, 19; amount, $53.50. Total new members, 157. Total amount cash, $286.66. The First Baptist Society won the honor of having the largest amount of cash. St. John A. M. E. the honor for the largest number of new members. All circles were well organized for the parade. The program was one of interest. The fruit brought in was distributed to the sick and homes for the aged. CONDUCTS SUCCESSFUL SERVICES IN NORTH Rev. W. H. Massenburg has returned to the city from a four weeks tour in the North, where he conducted revival meetings. Much success was accomplished in Swedebore and Asbury Park. N. J.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE ANNIVERSARY OF BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH Fifth Year of Rev. Nelson B. Brown's Pastorate and Twenty-eighth of Church to Be Observed Two Weeks. The 5th anniversary of the pastor, Rev. Nelson B. Brown and the 28th anniversary of Botheleham Baptist Church will begin Sunday, November 1. During the five years Rev. Brown has been pastor of the church it has been recognized; according to its officers, and is now actively engaged in all fields of missionary work both home and foreign, also the community work of the city. The members are trying to raise $1,000, looking forward to the erection of a new church building. Invitations have been extended to societies, clubs, churches and congregations to help in the effort to raise the money sought. Among the pastors who preach on the various nights are: Rev. W. H. W. W. Black, Rev. F. W. Williams, Rev. R. H. Bowling, Rev. O. J. Allen, and Rev. E. E. Smith. These ministers preach on nights in the order named.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Just before the hour for prescribing the deacons assembled with the pastor for a brief, yet effective meeting. Then the pastor, Rev. R. H. Bowling arose and announced as his text: John 9:1, subject, "As Jesus Passed By", and delivered a very fine sermon. One that interested and aroused every one present. It had been advertised that Rev. Bowling would preach a special sermon at night, subject, "How to Keep House". The weather defied the inclement weather and came out with numbers. The Shufflers Social and Beneficial Association was out in a body which made a pleasing scene. The message was so gripping everybody sat spell-bound while he delivered this practical and most helpful message. The choir is rendering very acceptable services now. Our Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. continues to increase in interest and members. "What Is The Trouble with Norfolk" Sermon for Next Sunday "What Is The Matter With Norfolk As A Community?" This will be the subject of a special sermon at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night at 7:30 o'clock. Rev Richard H. Bowling, the pastor, announces that he will handle this subject with gloves off and apologies to no one. Special seats will be reserved for those who are to be present. A male chorus will sing in addition to the music by the regular choir. Rev Bowling's statement follows: "Having thought long and prayerfully on the many criticisms of my home town, on the many failures and ventures in her midst, and as well on her triumphs, her possibilities, and her infux of fine new blood, I have decided to set forth my conclusions in a series of three special lectures, the first will deal with Norfolk as a community, the second with Norfolk's church situation, the last with Norfolk's race relationships. "Needless to say, I am expecting that some, if not many, will disagree with what shall be said. But even this may prove to be a blessing in disguise; for one of Norfolk's greatest needs is to face facts in the open. At any rate, I should certainly like to see present day night every Norfolk-born man and woman, especially those who are engaged in business and the professions." M.T. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Services were excellent last Sunday. Early morning prayer meeting was very good. Sunday school went over the top. At 11:30 Rev D. G. Jacoz preached a very acceptable sermon, and at 3 oclock, Dr. Hobbs, of Jerusalem Baptist Church, preached the nineteenth anniversary sermon of, the church. It was an able sermon and his choir rendered fine music. Rev Hobb's officers and members left a handsome contribution. The anniversary exercises came to a close Monday night with a fine program rendered under, auspices of the various auxiliaries. Many visiting ministers were present and spoke at the service. Mentions made in two years under the leadership of Rev Billups. The interior of the church looks new. Each auxiliary of the church presented the pastor and his wife a purse in appreciation of their unselfish services, while it is the prayers of the entire membership that the pastor may be with them for many years. On next Sunday Rev. Billups will preach by special request on "The Sins Of The Man." REV. DIXON CONDUCTS REVIVAL Rev. C. P. Dixon, of Newport News, known as colored Billy Sunday, will conduct the revival services at the Beren Baptist Church, Barney street, beginning Sunday, October 25. The revival is now in progress. Rev. W. M. Turner is the pastor. Republicanism In Virginia S. HARRIS HOGE For Governor A Minority Party in Virginia ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3rd the Voters of the Commonwealth of Virginia are expected to go to the polls and cast their vote for the candidates of their choice. It is understood, as usual those obligated to the Democratic Party will vote the party ticket, and those devoted to the Republican Party will vote the Republican ticket. There is a greater issue at stake, however, than the election of a Democratic or Republican for Governor of the State of Virginia. by the leading daily publications of the State, that the Democratic Party of the State has had more than its opportunity to give the State an economical and progressive Government, it is also conceded, that unless an "about-face" is taken in the conduct of affairs of the State during the next 4 years, a minority party will be placed in control. These comments were made after the issues of the present campaign were discussed by Mr. Hoge; matters of immediate interest to all the citizens of the Commonwealth including the abolition of the nefarious fee system; over-taxation; centralization of governmental departments so as to prevent waste of energy and duplication of official duties; to cut out overlapping and a more sane program for the building of good roads in Virginia. A Vote for S. Harris Hoge for Governor is a vote in favor of these much needed improvements in the conduct of the government of the State, and a warning to the present party in power that the desires of the people must be satisfied and their just grievances ameliorated. Every vote cast for S. Harris Hoge is a silent protest against all the ills of our present day governmental a buses in Virginia and not merely a vote for a Republican candidate. We therefore urge that you protest against the present burdens inflicted on the common people by the Democratic Party by voting for S. Harris Hoge. Celebrates Fifth Anniversary REV. NELSON B.

Door of Hope Held Open To Hungry And Homeless By United Charities Your Health Is Your Responsibility By Helen Lorenz Williams BY IDA W. BAGNALL The unemployed, the discouraged the sick and all persons afflicted with distress because of poverty are with us today. It is just as true as it was when the great Social Service Worker together with His disciples went about on earth doing good. At that time He said: "The poor you have with you always." The organization rendering service and executing plans to overcome the various problems involved in family relief work becomes the right arm of the church. To undertake such a work requires love, patience, courage and knowledge of the factors operating to create human distress. It must be supplied with the remedy that the best results may be secured. We conscientiously say, without boasting, our workers have given their very best. They have toiled every day in the week and often far into the night trying to help somebody to live more comfortably; to remove distress whatever the cause might have been. With limited means we have done all we could. These are trying times, but the reward is great; we count all as stepping stones to a broader vision of true service. The opportunity to wipe away a tear; the chance to move misunderstanding and re-unite families separated for many years truly present a glorious privilege to be a worker in the harvest field. Cooperation The churches have given hearty support. Publicity from the pulpit has meant much. The pastors of all denominations have at all times courteously received us and done all possible to support the work. We realize that the program of the church is very heavy and whatever has been done is appreciated. What could we do where there is serious illness if we were not able to have the ready response of the King's Daughters visiting nurse? Many sick one would suffer and pass away because of neglect. Men seeking employment have been sent to the city employment bureau and the First Baptist Church office. Women have been advised to see those in charge of the Y. W. C. A. Those seeking restoration to health have been sent to the Henry Street clinic. We are reminded of a case on Friday night when a girl 18 years of age was deprived of her lodging place and sent out to fare as best she could. A night's lodging was secured for her. Saturday early she was at the office, without a home, sick and in immediate need of medical attention. She was given a note and directed to the nurse at the clinic; provided with a meal and the city health department was called. This was about 12 noon. By 2:30 the city doctor had called, committed her and the ambulance had been sent to take her to the city home. The girl was helped and the community was protected. We have handled nine special cases turned over from the tuberculosis clinic. Two persons died. One case is doubtful and the others are improving. The Travelers' Aid has sent several cases and these all have been successfully handled. The Lancaster Social and Beneficial Association asked our services at Christmas to distribute for them baskets to 28 families, whom they desired to remember. They also gave the cash price of one ton of coal. The National League Girls' Club gave clothing for one family. The Norfolk Musical and Literary Association will be presented at the Metropolitan Church October 27, 1925, to assist in handling one of our recent cases. The Philharmonic Glee Club made a substantial contribution for the purpose. The Bank Street Baptist choir is loyally supporting along the same line. A very clever young woman, traveling with a child was sent to the office from the First Baptist Church after one of the men had collected one dollar and given her. Investigations are always made so we must have some street and num- Every workman is partly responsible for the conditions of the shop in which he is employed. Granted that the united action of workers brings about the greatest improvements, such action is, after all, created by individual initiative and understanding. Organized labor has brought about revolutionary changes in hours and wages, but it has given very little attention to the factors which affect the workers' health. It is true that short hours are desirable because they allow more time for diversion and rest; and higher wages make possible better medical care and higher living standards. Thus, they both have a wholesome effect on health. Neither hours nor wages, however, are in as great need for improvement as the ventilation, lighting, toilet facilities and protection against dust in the workshops. Death From Tuberculosis There were approximately 54,000 deaths from tuberculosis among wage earners in this country in 1921 (using the census as a basis). The factors which create this high mortality are those mentioned above, plus fatigue and worry. The prevalence of tuberculosis may be called a sort of "key" to the health of workers, for the conditions fostering it also cause ber. The number given us in this case led to the exact spot where Highland avenue is cut through to Church street and now known as Olney road. We failed to locate her. We understand that she went to several churches asking donations, finally leaving town. We cannot say just how much success she had in collecting funds. Why not let us investigate for you? If you have anything you wish to give to those in need? Your wishes can be best served through the United Charities. Summer Work There has been no leap as has been the custom. In June, 1925 all colored cases were given to us. This called for extra visits, reference calls and the regular cases to be carried. It was August before the Executive Secretary could leave for New York to study the methods used in case work, and to go out on the field with expert case workers and observe the work as it is handled by A. I. C. P. of New York City. Our sincere appreciation goes out to those who were instrumental in giving us these privileges. Social Welfare The Work Exchange, an auxiliary has helped wonderfully in raising funds by giving entertainments and seeing to it that friends are informed about the work and needs of charities. A Queens' Contest rally was presented at Second Calvary Baptist Church, women from various churches taking part. The proceeds, $163.35, less expenses, were turned over on their pledge. Many members of the Exchange sent bundles of clothing to be distributed. Women of the First Baptist Church, Berkley, gave a Queens' rally which netted $24.48 less expenses. This was given to the work. One group of workers at Lambert's Point gave bundles of groceries for one case and clothing to be distributed. Meetings are held on the first and third Friday nights of each month during the winter season at the office, 405 East Brambleton avenue Come and join; refreshments are sold. Volunteer workers come from the Work Exchange and can be depended upon when called to assist with special cases. The professional men on the Board have also rendered valuable service in very difficult cases free of charge and stand ready at any time to serve when called upon. The ministers have gone into homes where the request for prayer was submitted. Financial Report January, 1925, contributions and pledges from campaign fund, $2,600; turned over from Community Chest, $1,650; special donations, $17.42; total, $1,267.42. Expanded first half of year, $2,171.42; estimated expenses for last half of year, $2,006; total, $4,267.42. The amount spent is appropriated each month. It must be borne in mind that the heaviest months are just ahead and our work will be greatly hindered if we fail to pay this year's campaign pledges. For 1925 we are asking $1,500. This may seem to be a large amount. Study your own family budget and you will soon discover that this would scarcely take care of three families, supplying them with all the necessities of life. Service Report Number of cases handled, January to May, 200; May to October, 262; total, 163. Helped materially 586; calls with relief cases, 1,180; calls without relief cases, 335; number referred, 26; number cooperative, 41; letters sent, 39; calls to collect pledges, many. This report covers the period from January to October, 1925. The board workers since relied thank you for your hearty support. Your continued interest is solicited. May the future hold in store for this organization greater development to meet the community needs. If you wish to get joy out of life and radiate sunshine, take stock in this cooperative company. other preventable illnesses. Lack of fresh air, injurious dusts and over-fatigue so lower the general resistance of the body that it is unable to throw off whatever germs may come its way. Where Tuberculosis Is Rare The group of laborers among whom tuberculosis is rarest is the agriculurists, and this in spite of the fact that their hours are long and their work hard. Would this not seem to indicate that work in the fresh air and sunshine is at least partly responsible for the low mortality ratio? Among spinners and lace workers on the other hand, deaths from tuberculosis are exceedingly high. Is it not reasonable to suppose that the cramped posture and confining work of one group and the inhalation of textile dust of the other are contributing factors to these figures? Food An Important Item Food is the most important item in the worker's health. He should have sufficient time to eat a nourishing lunch, preferably a hot one, and to chew it slowly. The best drink at noon is a bottle of milk. Not long ago milk was scoffed at as a beverage for a red blooded man, but today he knows that it really makes red blood redder. Nowadays in New York a group NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE APPOINTMENT OF ADVISER TO A.F.L. OFFICIALS URGED APPOINTMENT OF ADVISER TO A.F.L. OFFICIALS URGED T. Arnold Hill Suggests To President Green Of The American Federation of Labor That Move is Necessary T. Arnold Hill, Director of the Urban League's Industrial Relations Department, who has just returned from the convention of the A. F. of L., in Atlantic City, has asked for the appointment of a Negro as executive advisor to counsel with the officials of the labor movement on organization problems affecting Negroes. In this way, Mr. Hill insists, the forthcoming campaign for members of the American Federation of Labor will have every prospect of success thru the assurance that such an individual can give to the Negroes of the sympathy and sincerity of the leaders of the A. F. of L. Practice Subterfuge Of the 110 national and international labor organizations, less than ten deny memberships to Negroes but a number practice subfugues with which Negroes are familiar that operate to keep them out of locals in different parts of the country. Several conferences are being planned, one for Kansas City between the colored freight handlers and the international that has jurisdiction over them and another for Washington, D. C., when the entire matter of Negro participants is to be discussed. Out of these conferences, Mr. Hill predicts, a more amicable relation between colored workers and the American Federation of Labor will follow. In recommending a capable member of the race to head on the work among Negroes, Mr. Hill defended his position in the following language: "Of the Negroes' inclination toward organization there is abundant proof in the large and influential associations which they maintain. That they have not taken more kindly and in larger numbers to the Labor movement, is due primarily to the instinctive suspicion with which colored people view all movements bidding for their support, when those movements are in the control of whites. The appointment of a capable, industrious and tactful Negro to take general charge, under your direction, of your colored work will insure the needed confidence of his race in the personnel and integrity of the A. E. of L. Gives Other Reasons "But there are other reasons. A Negro knows his own; and there is much to know in adjudicating differences between white and colored people and interpreting the one to the other—information which runs the whole gamut of the Negro's emotions and acts as an under-privileged citizen—h it is striving for economic and cultural ascendancy—and, in this case, his fear lest the Labor Movement may cause him to lose the few places in industry he has been able to acquire. The importance of a thorough understanding of the racial atmosphere in which the Negro encounters himself, as a defense against real and imaginary injustices, cannot be over-emphasized; and this knowledge is possessed only by a Negro." Early New England tavern keepers could sell buns or cakes indiscriminately. of iron workers seated nonchalantly astride a steel grider of a towering skyscraper, eating a massive sandwich and taking large swallows of a bottle of milk has become an everyday scene. Labor's Responsibility Dr. Louis I. Harris, director, Bureau of Preventable Disease, New York City Department of Health, stated in a recent address: "Unfortunately the labor groups are not conscious of the significance of health as an asset of transcendent importance to them individually and collectively. They are concerned almost exclusively with questions of wages and hours of labor, which, of course, have a large importance in relation to health and the prevention of tuberculosis; but these are by no means enough to secure the basis for healthful and sane living." Health Education It is one of the aims of the National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated organizations to educate working men and women more in the rules of healthful living, thereby making them not only happier but more useful as producers.

Today only one person dies from tuberculosis where two died before. The death rate from consumption has been cut in half by the organized warfare carried on by the tuberculosis crusade. This organized warfare to stamp out this dread disease is financed by the sale of Christmas Seals. Buy Christmas Seals. Buy as many as you can.

ROUSON, Murfreesboro, N. C. The cotton crops in Heftford County are very good. The boll weevil has not done so much damage in this county. Many of the warmer have not picked over their cotton the first time. The farmers are making good. I wonder how are the farmers planning to spend their money? Are they planning to improve their homes, increase their bank accounts, or invest the last penny in Ford cars? I suppose the average farmer replies: "That's my business how I'll spend my money." So it is, and yet, I feel that the man who has to labor so hard in the intense heat of June, July, and August ought to be discreet in the spending of his money. Most anybody can make money, but it takes a man or woman who possesses commonsense to save it. The automobile dealers are very busy now selling cars. If the crops should be bad another day, they will be just as busy gathering them in. The writer knows an instance in which a certain man bought a car.

He did not leave any insurance policy nor bank account for his widow, but left a mortgaged car which the dealer removed just as soon as he heard of his death. Cars are all right for those who can afford to have them, but as one has said, they are only things that settle a man's estate while he is living. If a farmer is able to purchase a car let him do so, but it is a bad policy for any man to invest the last cent he has in a car.

SPAULDING President NORFOLK-JOURNAL AND GUIDE SAYS MERCHANT CREDIT IS BAD FOR FARMERS United States Department of Agriculture Advises That This Method Is Not As Satisfactory As Bank Credit. Farmers in many parts of the United States are unable to obtain from banks all the short-term credit they need. They are often obliged in consequence to accept additional credit from merchants and dealers. But merchant credit, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, is often costly and unsatisfactory. Both farmers and merchants would be benefited if farmers could obtain most if not all, of their credit from specialized credit institutions. Merchant credit is most extensively used in the South. In some regions a large percentage of the tenant farmers, and often a considerable number of owner farmers, are more or less dependent on it. There are areas in which merchant credit is used more extensively than bank credit. Uncertain Cost Farmers who use merchant credit often do not know what it costs them, because ordinarily the cost is not based on a fixed interest rate but is covered in a higher price paid for supplies purchased on credit. Farmers in certain areas in North Carolina in 1921 paid an average of 22.3 per cent for their merchant credit. In Georgia a corresponding average tde was 24.3 per cent. While some merchant credit is advanced on open account, a great part of it is secured by chattel mortgages or crop lions. In parts of Tennessee 31 per cent of the merchant credit, advanced tenant farmers in 1928 was secured by crop lions. In Georgia in the same year 60 per cent of the merchant credit advanced to tenant farmers was secured in a similar manner. Hinders Marketing Under such conditions borrowers are often placed in a position in which they can not freely market their crops. Although merchant credit has no double often met imperative agricultural needs, says the department, it is a poor substitute for adequate bank credit. In parts of the South the merchant-credit system has retarded the development of co-operative marketing. Similar objections are raised by the department to certain features of the system whereby credit is extended by dealers in agriculture produce. Livestock commission firms that extend credit to cattle feeders often not only purchase the cattle for the farmers but require the cattle shall be sold through the and fruit-producing centers are often unable to obtain necessary credit locally. They are obliged in consequence to seek aid from fruit and vegetable commission dealers and brokers in distant cities. Often they can not obtain such help without relinquishing control over the marketing of their crops. WINDSOR Windsor, N. C.—Dr. C. M.

C.—The 50th anniversary of the pastorate of Dr. C. M. Cartwright, was observed at the church last week. Pastors of the various churches of the city and of churches of adjacent communities participated in the services. The First Baptist Church was founded in 1866. Dr. Cartwright became its pastor in 1901. Recently, upon the urgent request of the trustees of the church, Dr. Cartwright was prevailed upon to relinquish his pastor of Zion Bethlehem Baptist Church at Wind sor, N. C., which he had pastored for more than 30 years. The Elizabeth City Church desired to have the services of its pastor each Sunday in the month, feeling that such would not only better promote the work of their church but conserve the energy of their pastor as well.

Closes Meet Elaborate Plans Made For Extending The Colored Work Into Unoccupied Fields. Washington, D. C., Oct. 24—The twenty-first National Conference on Colored Work of the Young Men's Christian Association closed here last evening after three days packed full not only of interest and hard work but of developments in the field, much for the sessions were held in the Twelfth Street Branch and the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. The registration was in excess of 250. National leaders from both white and colored groups participated. Y. W. C. A. representatives were also included. Consideration of the main topics, the Unification of Y. M. M. Among Colored Men and Boys, was limited largely to towns and cities of from five to twenty-five thousand. Needs of Men Discussed Much time was devoted to discussion. Blackboards were covered one by one with ideas from the audience, showing first a long list of needs of colored young men, next the agencies already at work in the smaller cities and towns, then a list of needs not covered by these agencies, and finally some indefinite reasons why the Y. M. C. A. should more fully serve at these points. It was shown by this method that most of the organizations are concentrating, so far as actual service is concerned, on the larger cities; that the needs of the colored group frequently suffer where financial campaigns represent a number of organizations; that a religiousasis is needed for character-building work; that the largest experience of any available organization for this work; and that the non-sectarian character, inter-deminational status, interracial service, and general interests of the Y. M. C. A. direct it towards the field of service discussed by the Conference. Methods For Cooperation Discussion developed as to methods for effective cooperation between the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Many delegates indicated a feeling that the two organizations should more often serve unitedly in a community, even using the same building. In Kentucky, it was pointed out working unitedly, committee, committee of both men and women direct work in small communities. Out of the open discussions and the work of committee grew a findings report in which was crystallized the sentiment of the Conference. One of the features of the findings was emphasis upon the pressing need of recruiting an adequate number of men willing to assume leadership in all unoccupied fields. In addresses as well as reports attention was given to colored schools and colleges of awakening an interest in the ministerial and Y. M. C. A. professions. There is a misconception on various college campuses of what Y. M. C. A. service means. Boards of Management Another point emphasized was the importance of educating the boards of management of Y. M. C. A's in the complete Y. M. C. A program, and especially on the question of employing sufficiently large staffs and paying adequate salaries. Endency among some Associations to exclude colored men from their privileges was also pointed out as a factor making increasingly difficult the task of building an Association constituency and maintaining the loyalty of educated colored men. It was recommended that the Chesapeake Summer School be continued, that special efforts be made to provide additional opportunity for Southern secretaries' training, and that a more-central location be considered for the Chesapeake School. Colored Representative The appointment of a representative of the Colored Department on cooperation between the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. was recommended. Other recommendations were: That a study be made of how to make larger use of building equipment in large cities; that as the small city is more and more the way station between the rural districts and the large cities, there be added to State staff, there be secretary, district he organized, and wherever possible a community secretary be employed; that in cities of ten thousand or less population, where Y. M. C. A's are operating, a colored secretary be added to the existing labor force. cal staff. It was also urged that effort be made to interest certain Funds in placing Y. M. C. A. secretaries in cooperation with the Y. W. C. A. in at least one county in the South to discover the possibilities of service; also that the National Council of the Y. M. C. A. recognize the need of the rural field by the development of 'a concrete plan to raise the Home Missionary fund and thus make effective the action of the National Council taken in 1924. Railroad Work Some 140,000 colored men are engaged in railroad work. It was urged, in therefore, that consideration be given, to the addition of a full-time colored secretary, to the Transportation Department, staff of the National Council. Allegiance of the Colored Department to the Church of Christ was reaffirmed, and the central purpose emphasized of cooperation with the Church. Dr. Mordecai of Howard University, Dr. Mordecai Johnson, Bishop W. J. Vernon, Dr. John R. Mott, Dr. Channing H. Tobios, Senior Secretary of the Colored Men's Department, Dr. Jesse Moorland, the former Senior Secretary, Dr. John Hope, and generally, the men gave addresses which gave deep inspiration as well as practical help to the Conference. Sixteen presidents of colored colleges were in attendance. Lawrence Brown In Recital At State College Orangeburg, S. C.—On Thursday night South Carolina State College opened her musical season by presenting William Lawrence, pianist and Lawrence Brown, baritone, in recital. An audience packed the auditorium to greet and hear their artists William Lawrence, more recently accompanied by the director of music at State College, was given a great ovation upon his presentation to the audience by President Wilkerson. He proved by his technique and skill to be an artist of the first rank. By his soft touch both at piano and organ he was able to enthrall his audience. Lawrence Brown, \showed much originality in his compositions and renditions of the Negro spirituals His "Water Boy," rendered as an encomio to rank as a masterpiece of musical composition and is certain to find its way in the selections of many of the great artists.

I think I left off with s o m o things that I had seen on the Tuesday. This is Wednesday, second day. My booth for the distribution of the Journal and Guide had been selected for me by the manager so that I had a nice cool, northeast wind to blow itself right into the gallery of exhibits. Wednesday was a bit breeze of a crowd. We all, except the cold wind, looked as if something heretofore unhcard of had befallen us. Even the manager, who does not smoke, had forgotten his cigar. Dr. Pierce, the president, had almost forgotten his office, with a few duties hung to it. But all the officers were on the grounds, doing what little they could. A good sized crowd happened to come in after a while. The officers gave away as many of the 3000 copies of this paper as they could handle. I have always heard that it is not right for ministers to go to fairs. About thirty steps from my booth, the race tracks run in full view of my booth. I heard one say "Here they come." I forgot the speech I was making on the products of the Guide, and walked out to the fence, and stayed a while unconsciously. I couldn't find my boys when I returned to finish my speech. Soon, a group of white people from Africa via Hampton or from Hampton via Africa, visited us. Afresh, I started in to make my speech all over again to these Africans, and Hamptonians who, I soon found, knew more about the Guide than I did. I began to think of speech-making. I remembered the great speech that our one John Holland, from out near Holland, Va., who is a most practical, first-class farmer, and one of the most commonsense men and best farmers that we know. But I did not see it. I walked over and around the Tidewater Fair Building. I saw that the crowd had increased in numbers. "They" had about finished the work that they should have done Monday. I pushed my way through the beginning to play-chance crowd. A fellow wanted to chance me a blanket. I reminded me of what my wife had been reminding me of all summer, and still keeps me up. I am not much on games, and so resisted the temptation easily. I no w strutted myself down the line of miniature hotels, boarding houses, and restaurants, and cold drinks. Everybody knew me, and asked me to eat and drink free, but I had to drink for all I ate and drank. "Come on, Doc." came from every little window. I was in a hurry to see some one, and for that reason, I could not go in. Upon the grandstand I went, just in time to hear some of the best music ever sung or seen at a fair. I saw more melody in it than anything else. One nice young man stood before the singers, waving a little stick at them, which seemed to be magical, and produced some kind of singing magic into them. Afterwards, I saw that he, and they, the Bishop and singers of Bebville. The band was 'second to none'. In there, the president presided. He knows how. In his few remarks, he drilled the speaker, the Rev. Dr. Sanderlin of Franklin, Va—everybody knows him. It was said to be a good speech. In fact, it is said that all the speeches, and everything else, we good and everything else, so many great and good things for this Wednesday, so, I will go home for dinner, since Prof. Miller made such a good speech. It is now cloudy and threatening Thursday morning. The automobiles and other kinds of vehicles and the wind and rain all come to gather. The hotels, and chancers begin to put on better and hopeful faces. Many of our good white friends are here, for I saw them Johnnie, and his 500 diamond ring at the bottom of his ice cream freezer at the "Funny-House", were about the first to get here. The rain and wind took the right air, backed by the crowd. But did not deter the folks. They came to the number of about 8000. The races were a bit hindered, but not enough to stop. I saw further, that most everybody liked the "host races." And most everybody saw that. One young man came up to me, and asked, "If your church allowed you to go to fair?" My church does not go to fair! I am said. I "Ought ministers attend fairs?" I "Ought ministers attend fairs?" I asked to go elsewhere they can find an opportunity to add dignity to the occasion." I said. Yesterday while walking around to see everything, the good thought came into my mind to have my picture "took," and to send to the Editor. I did son. If you ever see the picture of a low young man, wearing long overcoat and a cane, and a tail of Journal and Guides, on his Preacher, Teacher And Civic Worker MAMMOTH DAY REV. J. F. JORDAN, D. D., Universal minister, Principal and founder of Suffolk Normal Training School and Manager of Suffolk Journal and Guide Bureau. am I am he. I meant to tell you that many of the eating booths mentioned above, were "Church Booths." Our Exhibits I saw some of the best home and foreign exhibits ever brought to this city. I saw that one couldn't tell the ministers and teachers from others, by their dress. For the occasion was one of the most educational and religious that it has been my good and helpful pleasure to see. Am I not joking? If the Tidewater Fair is anything but a fair, I don't believe that Munger Crocker, and his co-workers, are in it just for what little money that they may happen to get out of it. Go with me a minute and see what I saw: First, let us look over things in the Fair Building. Here is where you see about everything that our school boys and girls have made. I cannot mention them, too many, and I do not know what they are. But this, and other counties have done something, Mr. T. L. G. Waldron is head of this department. He is one of the best farmers in the county. To assist him, I saw Mrs. Floyd Rodgers, secretary; Mnes. Julia A. Bell, Minalda Lecia, Lidia Cornelia Boykins, Mary Smith, Sophia Wiggins, and J. B. Hardy, superintendent. They served in showcasing as faithful servants. The Journal and Guide's Booth is in this building, and was looked over as were the other exhibits. On our way to other booths, we will stop a minute to see and hear the stuff that has ever been heard in the city. He is as good as he is black. And he is as black. We pass on the minstrel show, but do not stop in. I was told that it wears the O. K. on it. I heard from the outside, but did not see the inside. Passing through Chance street, we saw everybody doing each other. "Why don't you do me like I do you?" was being played on nearby spinning jacks, and other good instruments. I saw one lady sitting on a wagon tongue patting her foot in the rain to the snow tunes, the password through this 8000 people. We next came to the Emergency Hospital. Our Mr. E. J. Moore white, of the City Health Department, was the kind promoter of this very helpful department of the fair. I went in just to see things I met the head nurse, myself, and told her that I was the Guide man, and she introduced herself to me as Miss Helen Watts. Infant Welfare Nurse, of Norfolk, Va. I was delighted to meet her. She soon saw as I did, that I was no infant. So she told me that there were others: Miss or Mrs. Hurst, of Norfolk; Mrs. B. L. Davis and Mrs. Hattie Bernard, of Suffolk, both in their own homes, and those of others. Dr. T. D. Sharpe served as available attending physician. I am told that this little hospital had an average of from 20 to 30 a day. Iam also told that it was the request of the city and county boards that this tent hospital was given for the use of the fair. Having no especial use for this part of the fair for myself, and being grateful for all things, I bade her goodbye and hurried on the Farm and Home-Makers Club, where I was met by Miss L. A. Jenkins, and the Mrs. Thos. B. Patterson. Miss Jenkins had told me, telling me everything that the baker had done for a year. She told me that this Extension Club was under the Extension Department of the P. I. I School, of Blacksburg, Va., and is in co-operation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It was represented here by District Agents. Messrs J. L. Charity and Thos. B. Patterson, and Miss L. A. Jenkins. I will go over to the school exhibit building now, where I am met by Mrs. G. A. Troy, and Mrs. Lewis. As usual, they have about everything from the many schools except the teachers. I saw only a few of them. It looked as if the city Booker T. Washington School had more business, and more exhibits than any other school on the shelves and hangings than any other. I did not see much from the county. It may have been my fault. We will now go down to the floral Hall, where we are not met. News of Suffolk and Vicinity Persons having business with the Journal and Guide are requested to see Dr. J. F. Jordan, 179 Tynes St., Phone 316. Inquiries concerning advertising, news, subscriptions, etc., will be attended to promptly by Dr. Jordan, or his local representatives. Suffolk, Va.—In addition to the Hampton-African guests, the manager brought, Prof. Kelley Miller of Howard University, to visit our booth. He is a happy follow. I had never seen him before. Good naturelly, he complimented me by saying, "You are the first black Universalist minister that I have ever seen." I thought, to myself, "You are the blackest Prof. Kelley Miller that I have ever seen." I thought I wouldn't tell him so, but it is so. Tuesday morning, bright and early, came Editor H. C. Young, of the staff. It was his duty to show me how to fix up the Guide exhibits, and how to make the speeches on Guide-products. He did the fixing, and I the listening. He was in a great hurry to return home on the 11 o'clock train; but it was 2:45 p.m. before he left. Thursday brought Editor P. B. Young, editor-in-chief. He stayed and looked about me for 15 minutes, and hurried away to look over the exhibits. I have not seen him since. Mrs. P. B. Young, and her sister, Miss White, came up Friday to bring me some papers. It took us two hours to find each other. I showed them my new picture, and they left on the next bus. Mr. M. R. Troy of Asbury, N. J., came down Sunday to visit their parents and other friends. It was a sad occasion that brought Mr. William McF. Bridgerdorf down from Newark, N. J. It was on the occasion of the death of Mrs. Sarah Draughn, of Newark, N. J.. but formerly of this city, and a very close friend of Mrs. but saw one lady who did not even talk to me. I managed to see one form and one lady who were careful to keep silent to a colored reporter. I now retrace my steps to the Fair Building and look at the old sow and 10 pigs; chickens and several other kinds of farm products. I saw of some things I saw, now I will tell you of some things I know. That the Tidewater Fair is a huge success; owned and controlled by Manager W. H. Crocker, his officers, women and men, of the Association. That kindness, courtesy, politeness and order prevailed in every corner. That all exhibits and races were of the best. That man was seen here. That more than 1000 attended this big fair. How many more or less, I don't know. That the industrial, moral, educational and religious atmosphere attended this fair. That some made money, and some lost. That the goat and the horse-racing, and the goat racing were also good and Wednesday day, it looked as if everything, everybody and the rain was there. And that the Journal and Guide was among them all, to stay. I was stuck in so many pockets, and bosons in my life. That it's subscriptions were largely increased. These are some of the things that I saw and know.—The Guide man. ATLANTIC CITY Atlantic City, N. J.—Mr. B. G. Fitzgerald was host to the Northside Chamber of Commerce recently.

This Political Study Class was presented by the Hewlett-Warner of the 21st A. D. New York City, and is an auxiliary to the National Republican Study Club of which Miss Jeannette Carter is chairman with headquarters at Washington, D. C. Mrs. Warner is a very energetic young woman and while the class is less than a year old the membership numbers nearly two hundred themselves along political lines in order that they may be prepared to cast their vote wisely and intelligently. The opening was attended by prominent citizens of both races. Mrs. E. Hortense Warner, presided. Welfare League The State of Pennsylvania has a well organized League, and it is hoped that other states will follow this splendid example.

FIRST CLASS SERVICE FRIENDS AT The Firestone Rubber and Tire Company of Akron, Ohio, has secured the lease of 2,000,000 acres of land, 2,000 under cultivation, for 99 years, of the Liberian government and will spend $100,000,000 in developing the rubber industry. Secretary Edwin Barclay, who is now in this country, said the Firestone Company could have as many more acres as they want. He also said Liberia is a good place for young Negroes to go, there was plenty of work at 25 cents a day. Everything indicates that the only Black Republic in Africa has fallen upon times of extinction as a sovereign power. The terms upon which the concession was made have not been made public, as far as we have seen. There is still room in the Community Chest Fund Campaign for a large number of men workers. The women of the city have responded splendidly—as they always do—to the demands of the occasion. Our men have been accustomed to leave the details of money raising for our welfare agencies and religious institutions largely to the women. The accelerated momentum with which the Chest Fund drive must be carried through calls for man-power in addition to the forces already harnessed. Our men of Norfolk will respond. They will not fail their less fortunate fellow citizens in this crisis. Negro History In High Schools Prof. Benjamin Brawley, of Shaw University, has an interesting and informing article on this page today on "Negro History in the High School." Prof. Brawley, who is the author of a text on Negro history, which is now in use in numerous high schools and colleges, points out some of the obstacles to introduction of the study of the subject in public high schools and gives the remedy for surmounting them. As a practical teacher and student of history, Prof. Brawley's suggestions carry weight and are worthy of the careful consideration of school authorities and all others interested in bringing about a much needed improvement in public school curricula. Where Transportation Counts In the current discussion of Norfolk's transportation system, involving street cars and busses, due to the effort to unify the system, emphasis has been laid upon the importance of adequate transportation facilities in the future development of the city. A point which is conceded by every intelligent person draws attention to the splendid development of at least half a dozen colored home divisions in the Northeastern section of the city during the past twenty-five years in spite of no transportation facilities whatever. It is a fact that the Virginia Railway and Power Company, under the old management, refused to consider the extension of its lines into this territory at any time. And the city government, under the old form, showed at no stage of their development, either interest in them or the inclination to require the traction company to serve these citizens. That these sub-divisions were fully developed despite the lack of transportation facilities is interesting, but not to be marveled at, for nearly everything of a constructive nature that the Negro race has accomplished has been done in the face of what some racial groups would have considered unsurmountable obstacles. Eventually a way out of the difficulty is found, just as the coming of the Colored Jitney Bus Association solved the transportation problems of the people who lived in the territory named. If for no other reason, the fight of the jitney bus men to hold on to their business, holds merit which cannot be dismissed as being unimportant. That we have even the promise of a continuation of these transportation facilities in the event of victory for the unified system, is due to the business foresight of the new owners of the traction company, rather than to any other cause.

He was held up at the steamship and hailed before a magistrate on an overdue bill. Mrs. Knowton paid the bill and they caught the steamship just in the nick of time. Mrs. Knowton said she was going to travel around the world, visiting Africa, and presumably Dahomey, with Kojo. Like Siki, Kojo left a very bad taste in the mouth of the Afro-American people.

Democratic Politics In Virginia True to tradition, the Democrats have raised the race issue in their campaign. A Harrisonburg, Mr. Harry F. Byrd, the nominee for Governor is reported as having said: True to tradition, the Democrats have raised the race issue in their campaign. At Harrisonburg, Mr. Harry F. Byrd, their nominee for Governor is reported as having said: "Their platform declares for a new constitutional convention. In the words of Colonel Anderson, it is to provide for an enlarged electorate by enfranchising the 700,000 Negroes in Virginia and giving them the balance of political power in this State." He had reference to the platform of the Republican party. Of course, Mr. Anderson promptly denied the allegation and accused Mr. Byrd of libel. The most noticeable thing about the incident is that the Democratic party does not seem able to carry through a campaign without appealing to some kind of race or class prejudice. If it were possible to drive the Democratic party in Virginia, or in the whole South for that matter, of the race issue it would not have a single vote getting appeal with which to approach the He had reference to the platform of the Republican party. Of course, Mr. Anderson promptly denied the allegation and accused Mr. Byrd of libel. The most noticeable thing about the incident is that the Democratic party does not seem able to carry through a campaign without appealing to some kind of race or class prejudice. If it were possible to deprive the Democratic party in Virginia, or in the whole South for that matter, of the race issue it would not have a single vote-getting appeal with which to approach the sparse electorate that controls this section of the country. In Virginia the Democratic party has no platform. Its candidate for Governor, nominated in a primary, is the platform. The party stands upon him. He stands upon the race issue. There are 700,000 Negroes in Virginia and the most important task of the Democratic party is to keep the poor, so that they will not be able to meet certain economic qualifications, and to keep them ignorant, so that they will not be able to meet certain educational qualifications. There are 1,619,170 white people in Virginia according to the census of 1920. Mr. Byrd was nominated for Governor by the votes of 107,000 people. As the total vote Norfolk Journal and Guide of the Democratic party is around 175,000 he will be elected Governor by the expressed will of approximately one white citizen out of every one thousand in the State. Such a state of affairs exists partly because the Democratic party which has governed Virginia for the past fifty years has failed to provide adequate educational opportunities for the white citizens of the State, and partly because the Democratic party employs deception, fraud, intimidation and humbuggery to keep the 700,000 Negro citizens of the State down at the expense of the political liberties, and the educational and economic advancement of the white citizens of the State; it being an inexorable law of even that the whites cannot keep the blacks down without staining down with them. That is politics in Virginia. --- Spirit of the Press Spirit of the Press End of the American Escadrille Decision of the French Government to disband the escadrilde of American flyers now operating in Morocco will surely meet with approval here. It is a little hard to explain why these flyers should have earned the condemnation of the American public. They did not officially represent America, and in a way what they did was none of our business. But that they have been unpopular cannot be doubted. Possibly it is because of their own statements. Had they admitted they were young men in search of excitement and a good time, then postured the role of Richard Harding Davis heroes, we might have smiled and thought little of it. But when they came forward with stories of the ideals which spurred them on, ideals which included the supremacy of the white race and such buncombe, they lost the feather in their caps, which would have lent them romantic glamour, and failed to be convincing in any more sober way. So they wound up by appearing faintly ridiculous. It is well that there is an end of an episode which led to much petty annoyance.

The investigation of the burning of the liner Comanche, off Mayport, Florida, last Saturday night, has brought forth the charge that Negroes of the crew of the liner were drink. Just what supporting evidence has been brought out is not plain, but it is doubtful if this particular phase of the disaster is as important as some would make it.

Just what supporting evidence has been brought out is not plain, but it doubtful if this particular phase of the disaster is as important as some would make it. Another thing, the Comanche had just left port. A portion of the crew at least has not been long aboard. It is possible one even two or three of the crew were more less drunk. But ships cannot always fly a man on the ove of sailing if he comes from ashore with liquor on his breath. Finally, the type of colored man who sailed the sea is not as advanced as some others, his race. He is probably more susceptible to panic than others. And in such confusion as attended the abandonment of the burning Comanche, it is probable the passengers were little short of panic themselves and receive an exaggerated impression of circumstance without realizing it.

Need of Parks From the Norfolk Lodger-Dispatch. We are in full agreement with May Tyler regarding the need for parks in Norfolk. He is quoted as expressing the opinion at a recent council meeting that the city has only about one-tenth as many as it need and that the subject should be studied once in a comprehensive way. There is a doubt about it. There should be parks provided generally throughout Norfolk as there should be as little delay as possible providing a recreation place or places in Norfolk's colored citizens, who now have none, or practically none. This is a matter which has been too long neglected. All us recognize the need of economy in the administration of the city's affairs, but the are some ways of saving money which do not prove to be true economy in the long run. By setting apart spots for recreation and innocent, amusement a community is suring itself better satisfied and healthy citizens, is making itself more attractive the outside world and providing an app which must inevitably result in its growth and development. The council should give its earnest consideration to this important subject without unnecessary delay. From the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch.

Riding The Usual Hobby DEM. PARTY BYRD NEGRO BUGABOO NEGRO HISTORY IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS By DR. BENJAMIN BRAWLEY Shaw University The editor of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE has graciously asked me to say a word with reference to the history of the Negro, a subject that is just beginning to assume in our high schools and colleges the importance it deserves. It was Morehouse-College that in 1913 offered the first regular course in the history of the Negro in any of our colleges for the race. Before that time the subject had sometimes been touched upon in connection with courses in Sociology; but such a procedure was altogether inadequate for the situation, and within the last ten or twelve years, as we all realize, there has been much more interest in the history for its own sake. The war greatly promoted racial self-consciousness; such periodicals as The Crisis and Opportunity, and such a newspaper as that in which this article appears, have held aloft the ideal of progress; and the Journal of Negro History, just now celebrating the completion of ten years of service, has helped to direct the attention of students to a fascinating and but partially developed field. Inform The Youth Interest in the subject, accordingly, is an accomplished fact. It is one thing, however, to say that the young people of the race should be properly informed about the past, and quite another actually to give the history of the Negro a definite place in the curriculum. It is here that we encounter various difficulties, but none that can not be surmounted by a little thought and planning. In the college the matter may be adjusted with comparative ease. In the high school, however, we have to deal with boards and committees and inelastic courses of study. In these courses there is commonly included one special course for which there can be found no pedagogical justification whatever. I refer to what is sometimes known as General History, by which is commonly meant an outline of the history of the Western world perhaps from the time of the ascendance of Rome down to that in which we live. After examining scores of students who have passed through such a course, and who frequently present themselves for college entrance, I am convinced that nine out of ten hear away from the subject only the merest smattering of knowledge; and I might almost say that their time is worse than wasted. Methods of Teaching The ordinary student in the high school includes in his program two years (or units, or courses) of history. The elementary work in American History has already been given in the grammar school; but civics is commonly counted with the high school history. Suppose we do away with the General History: how then may we use the two years to the best advantage? My suggestion is for four distinct half-courses, to be given Saturday, October 31, 1925 in such sequence as may seem best to the instructor. These would be (1) English History, (2) Advanced American History, (3) Negro History, and (4) Civics. In any one of these the student should be able to master the subject-matter, as it is concrete and attractive. The American History moreover leads one into English History, and the English History would serve as a gateway to the History of Western Europe, ordinarily required in the Freshman year in college. Student Must Study Student Must Study Much will depend on the teacher. In the Negro History the student needs especially to be warned that he will have to study as in any other course. My own experience has been that too much is taken for granted. As for the textbook, perhaps I may be permitted to say that my "Short History of the American Negro" (published by The Macmillan Company, 60-Fifth Ave., New York) has frequently been found serviceable. A larger book, "A Social History of the American Negro" (also published by Macmillan), is for college or university work. Another work that has been found helpful is Dr. Carter G. Woodson's "The Negro in Our History" (issued by The Associated Publishers, Washington, D. C.) This is especially adapted for the fourth year in the high school or the first in college. Supplementary Reading As soon as possible also we shall want to have in the school library a shelf of books for supplementary reading. Aside from those already mentioned, I give the names of only a few that might seem most necessary: "Up From Slavery," by Booker T. Washington. Doubleday, Page and Co., New York. "The Story of the Negro" by Booker T. Washington. Doubleday, Page and Co., New York. "My Larger, Education," by Booker T. Washington. Doubleday, Page and Co., New York. "Complete Poems," by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Dodd, Mead and Co., New York. "The Sport of the Gods," a novel, by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Dodd, Mead and Co., New York. "The Strength of Gideon, and other Stories," by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Dodd, Mead and Co., New York. "The Wife of His Youth, and Other Stories of the Color Line," by Charles W. Chustutt Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston. "The Souls of Black Folk," by W. E. Burghart DuBois. A. C. McClurg and Co., Chicago. "The Gift of Black Folk," by W. E. B. DuBois. The Stratford Co., Boston. "American Negro Poetry," an authology edited by James W. Johnson. Harcourt, Brace and Co., New York. "The Negro in Literature and Art," by Benjamin Brawley. Duffield and Co., New York. "Negro Orators and Their Orations," edited by Carter G. Woodson. The Associated Pub- lishers, Washington, D. C. "Finding a Way Out," by Robert Russa Moton. Doubleday, Page and Co., New York. "Side-Lights on Negro Soldiers," by Charles H. Williams. B. J. Brimmer Co, Boston. "Emanipulation and the Freed in American Sculpture," by F. H. M. Murray. Privately published at 1733 Seventh St., N. W., Washington, D. C. This list of course is only a beginning. I have not mentioned several recent novels interpreting Negro life, nor have I spoken of the little reader, "The Upward Path," (Harcourt, Brace and Co.) designed for grammar school pupils, but able also to inspire those a little older. As we all know too, there is just now much activity on the part of younger writers of the race. I have been much impressed by the strength of "Harlem Shadows," by Claude McKay, (Harcourt, Brace and Co.) and Countee Cullen, who has taken several prizes, is just this month bringing out through Harper Bros. his first volume, "Color." This whole recent movement is to receive adequate representation and appraisal in Dr. A. L. Locke's "The New Negro" (Boni and Liveright, New York). But here I must stop. The editor asked for only a word, and already I have become—garrulous. The Colored Porters' Cause An intelligent, constructive leader will not disregard the teachings of history, experience or observation, but derive wisdom and power and prestige from their teachings. He will realize that, in the case of the federation of Colored Porters, as with relations where race or color prejudice figures, an actual condition and not a more theory confronts him; and that the warnings of the past must not be ignored. He will not lose sight of the fact that, through listlessness, or injudicious action, whole avenues, in which Colored labor has held a practical monopoly, have been almost if not entirely lost to us. He will not fail to see other avenues where we have had almost unlimited sway, gradually being withdrawn from us. He will therefore have a particular care, while contending for complete independence and full justice to Colored labor, that his line of attack shall not eventuate in irresistible opposition on the part of those who constitute the determining factor in the matter in hand. He will therefore choose well his resources, bearing ever in mind that it may be well to rather bear the ills we have than fly to others whose quality is the less promising. This does not mean to let prejudice and injury take their uncontested sway; but it does mean that the moral of the fable of the frog in the box shall not be altogether uninstructive. The leader who imagines that he can force the dominant group by threats, strikes, and the like, lacks the first principles of wise leadership. leadership Before entering deeply into this article a definition should be given of the word "Corporation." A corporation is an artificial body created by a statute of law having the rights of any natural person; certain special privileges are accorded it, which are duty set forth in its charter of organization. Before the corporation became so much used, the chief forms of conducting business were the single proprietorship, and co-partnership. As business interset assumed gigantic proportions, and plants became far-flung, while profits might be large, the risk was more than one or two persons cared to assume. Any business, to be successful, must be continuous; the death of the proprietor of a one-man business might be fatal to the enterprise; death, or a difference of business policy, would be equally as fatal to the partnership. Wherever there was a desire for continuous management, and for the coordinating of management and capital, or the limiting of the risk of the partners to the amount invested in the enterprise, the corporation was the only form offering these advantages. The entrance of our race group into the field of the corporate form of business, while dating back, possibly as far as a quarter century, it was during the world war that we entered this form of conducting business. With high wages for labor and a great demand for all sorts of labor, and material, lacking the training and experience necessary to obtain the best results, these various enterprises of mushroom growth so passed to the graveyards. Seven out of every ten enterprises that were launched during that period have failed. The Poet's Corner The Coward's Soliloquy I, myself, am afraid of me— I'm not the thing that I should be Tho! I have eyes, I fail to see The out-stretched hand of Oppor- tunlir Tho' I have hands I deny them the chance To do the work that would help me advance; Tho' I have feet, I am afraid to tread, The path that leads to things ahead; Tho' I have strength, I lack courage to fight The things that keep me from the right; Tho' I have a mind. I fail to think The thoughts to which high ideals link. I haven't the will to even try. A useless, worthless wretch am I. I've singed the wings of my desire. And mothered Ambition's glowing fire.
