A. ROGERS RETURNS TO THE STATES author of "From Superman to Man" Reveals That He Finds Old U. S. A. More To His Liking Than Europe. D. A.

In spite of the absolute freedom and color restrictions, I'm very bad to be back," he said. "When comes to the matter of being able to catch a living and knowing really to provide for personal affairs, the United States is far ahead of Europe as the former is ahead of Europe in intellectual development, culture and art. Europeans are intensely interested in America, such large numbers of men wish to come here, were it not immigration restrictions this year would soon be flooded. The lot of the American worker, the or black, is at least three better than that of the European; wages are not only higher the cost of living is proportionately lower."

RHINELANDER BARES HER BODY TO EYES OF JURY BRIDE PASSES SUPREME ORDEAL OF THE TRIAL Hysterical As She Bares Her Body To The Waist Before A Score Or More Of Strange Men. (Special Correspondence) White Plains, N.Y. - The justice Mrs. Alice Jones Rhineland seeks in judge Morrushauer's court here, where her husband, Leonard Kip Rhinelander, heir of an ancestral wealth and social position, is suing for annulment of their marriage on the grounds that she is of Negro ancestry and concealed that fact from him during their courtship, made extreme exactions of her Monday—exactions as exculpating to a woman's modesty as woman ever was called on to bear. Her eyes welled with tears, and leaning on her white-haired mother, Mrs. Rhinelander disbroiled to her waist, rolled her stockings to her ankles and stood trembling with hysterical emotion, while the jury of twelve males, strangers to her, the judge, or a score or more of men gazed for ten minutes on her bared form. These proceedings, unprecedented in court animals, were introduced by Le. Parsons Davis, Mrs. Rhinelander's counsel, to convince the jury that not even the proverbial blind man could mistake the color of her skin, or fail to perceive that some where in her lineage had entered Nargo blood. Sordid Letters Read On the same day, the trial which has all along had its greatous sprinkling of sordiness, ground out its full grist of that stuff. Mr. Davis announced that he would read the "mystery" letters which the very threat of reading last week brought the trial to a sudden halt and a conference of Judge and attorneys. Mrs. Rhinelander and her mother left the courtroom. The bride had passed through one ordeal, disobeying herself in the sight of strange men, she could not stand to hear the filth that was to drop from the pages of those letters, letters once meant for the eyes of none except her own. It was letter number 2, which mentioned the most unnatural relations in which young Rhinelander had indulged with Alice Jones at the Hotel Marie Antoinette. This stuff was too revolting for the printed pages.

Mrs. Rhinelander and her mother were the first to take the hint and immediately left. The young bride knew what was coming. The other women in the courtroom gripped their seats, creamed their necks and prepared themselves to sip the morsel of depravity that was ready to be spread. Of that they were to be denied. When Justice Morchauser became convinced that these sensational craving women intended to remain in the courtroom, he ordered that they leave. A ten-minute recess was taken for this. Some of them had to be forcibly ejected by court attendants. They didn't like it nary a bit, that being denied the jucest tid-bits of fith that had yet fallen during the trial.

"This will end it, this will end it," Mrs. Rhinelander cried. "Mother how can I live after this." It was a terrible ordeal for her. It was the bitter cup that justice which she seeks, had willed that its dregs she drink. Judge Morchauser had ruled, over the protest of M.

ARRESTED LESS THAN ONE HOUR AFTERWARDS Refusal to "move over" when told while he was eating in the Boston Restaurant on Church St. Saturday night cost Aaron Hausley his life, according to police reports concerning the shooting to death of Hausley by Johnny Brown. Brown is said to have entered the restaurant, took a seat and asked Hausley, who was eating, to move over. Hausley answered with an oath. An argument ensued and Brown argued out his revolver and fired one shot in Hausley's body. Death quickly followed. The usual Saturday night crowd in the restaurant was thrown into consternation. So great was the excitement that the street was blocked with the curious and excited crowd. It is believed that "dope" had something to do with the killing. Witnesses at the coronor's inquest Tuesday testified that Hausley gaze Brown no provocation for the shooting.

CHURCH PLANS TO ENLARGE ITS NEW PROGRAM CHURCH PLANS TO ENLARGE ITS NEW PROGRAM Bank Street Baptist Church Votes To Enter Work Of The Institutional Chur ch With A $12,000 Budget. On next Sunday, the Bank St. Baptist Church expects her member ship of eight hundred persons to plunge sufficient funds towards her 1926 Budget, so that her aune of usefulness in the community and city in general will be materially enlarged. Three months ago, the church unanimously adopted the Every Member Canvass and Budget System of operation with an annual expenditure of $12,000, to become effective January 1. The Financial system under which the Church is run at present, although free will, is more or less spasmatic and inadequate. Under the new system, the officers will be enabled to know in advance, just what funds will be available, and for what purposes they must be ex- Campaign. The unusual feature of the Go-to Church Campaign that closes Sunday is the fact that it was undertaken at a time when the Church was without a pastor; usually a period of confusion, lethargy and general retrograding in the average congregation. To force all such inaction, and insure sound growth and spiritual unity, a Go-to Church Campaign was inaugurated in September. During that campaign some of the strongest men of the denomination, have served in the pulpit of the Church. Interest and enthusiasm were manifested by increased attendance and finance, until on 1st Sunday when Rev. R. J. Langston supplied the pulpit, the largest gathering and offering of the entire year resulted. Of Its History Bank St. Church is one of the oldest Negro churches in America, being founded over 125 years ago, as a mixed congregation for whites and colored. The church was turned over solely to Negroes 86 years ago. Since that time the (Continued on Page Six) DR. JOHN M.

The claimant, acting for himself and for other stockholders of the America Liberian Industrial Corporation, alleges that the Liberian Government illegally refused to perform its part of an agreement as it was required to do by an act of the Liberian Legislature, signed and approved by the Liberian President, whereby this corporation became possessed of very valuable noninfringible rights and privileges over an area of 768,00 square acres of Liberian territory. The claimant further alleges that because of this failure on the part of the Liberian Government the corporation was prevented from exercising the rights and privileges as set forth in the agreement between the corporation and the Liberian Government. A. M. E. Church Prays For Health Of B. N. Duke The North Carolina Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church came to a close in Bethel Church Greenshore, Sunday night, when Bishop Johnson read the appointments. Several changes were made in the pastorates on account of a number of the pastors having served the time allowed by the rules of the church. The conference suspended business for a brief period and offered special prayer for B. N. Duke, who recently donated $200.00 to Kittrell College, one of the church's institutions. The conference adopted the following resolution: "God in his infinite wisdom has endowed certain men, here and there, with sufficient foreight, wisdom and industry, to get within their grasp a larger portion of this world's goods than their fellow men. He has also impressed upon their minds and hearts that they are but His stewards and are to be benefactors of their fellow men. "And as Mr. B. N. Duke falls within this number and our Kittrell College is blessed by his generosity to the amount of $200.000. "Be it resolved, that we take this method to express our heart felt appreciation for his gift and earnestly pray for his speedy recovery from his present illness." EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO ASSET TO THE SOUTH-Dr.Gandy A. & P. Store Employs Two Colored Clerks Joseph S. Weinstein, manager of an Atlantic and Pacific Tea Store in the heart of the colored section of Philadelphia, has employed two colored clerks as evidence of his appreciation of his colored patronage. Mr. Weinstein states that the trade at the store is overwhelmingly colored and he believes that it is only fair that some colored help he employed in the establishment. TINY BLOCKS OF WOOD AROUSE IRE OF HOUSEWIVES Those Who Must Purchase Fuel In Small Quantities Find Themselves Victims of Unscrupulous Dealers. With the advent of cold weather, colored housewives of the city, the class whose economic status compels them to purchase fuel supplies in small and frequent quantities, are muttering complaints as to the tiny blocks of wood and the short bags of coal that are sold from a number of coal and wood shops and grocery stores. The retail price of wood at the stores is three cents a block. Coin sells for 10 cents a 12 pound bag. But many unscrupulous dealers are offering the tiniest blocks of wood and bags scarcely more than half full of coal at these prices. On complaint of several housewives, an investigator for the Journal and Guide recently made a tour of a number of grocery stores and coal and wood shops and found conditions just as the housewives had represented them to be. Although, there were found several dealers who so large and substantial blocks of wood and full bags of coal for the regular price, these warehouses were few and far between. Store Wood and Family Wood The wholesalers divide the wood in two general classes, namely; store wood and family wood. Store wood is for sale to stores, where a resale is for sale to stores, where a block. This wood consists of selected large blocks. The family wood is a general-run wood, unselected as to size. The blocks are much smaller than those found in the store wood. But, of course, there are 100 or more blocks in a quarter of a cord of this sort of wood than there are in the same quantity of store wood with the larger blocks. It is perfectly satisfactory to purchasers of wood in quarter of a cord lots, because what they fail to get in size, blocks they get in number of blocks. But when stores and shops resort to the practice of selling wood of the small block variety to their customers in block quantities, why the customer is in for considerable loss, for the plain reason that he pays the three cents for the small block, every one he gets, and the dealer who has purchased a load of family wood instead of store wood has got about 100 blocks more than he would have gotten had he bought the wood intended for resale in block lots. How Dealer Wins When the dealer orders family wood instead of store wood, as he is expected to sell, he gains the advantage of getting a quarter cord for about $1.00 less in price and about 100 more blocks. These extra blocks at three cents each and the wood $1.00 saved in purchased price, makes wood handling quite a profitable proposition for him. Had he bought and sold the store wood with its big blocks, he would have paid more for the quarter-cord and his number of blocks would have been less, which would have meant smaller profit for the dealer, but greater value for the customer. The practice of buying family wood and selling it in block lots, when store wood is meant for that purpose, almost constitutes cheating. Practice Difficult To Get Around Although complaining of this practice, housewives find it difficult to get around. In the vast major- (Continued on page 11.) Largest Circulation In The South PRICE 7 CENTS LODGE AURANT N OF THE ASSET TO TH-Dr. Gandy President Of Virginia Normal And Industrial Institute Speaks To Noted Educators In Chicago. HEARD BY EDUCATORS OF NATIONAL NOTE Addressing in Chicago last week a group of the country's most prominent educators, members of the Association of Land Grant Colleges, including such men as Dean E. A. Burnett, of the University of Minnesota; Dr. A. F. Woods, president of the University of Maryland; Dr. J. L. Coulter, president of North Dakota Agricultural College; Dean J. L. Hill of the University of Vermont, and others equally as eminent, Dr. John M. Gandy, president of Virginia Normal and Industrial School at Petersburg, declared that in the 17 land grant colleges for the Negro in the United States lies a "most promising hope for a worthy contribution by Negro people to the development of the South, and these colleges are now and will become in an increasing way centers of mutual understanding for the two races." The occasion upon which Dr. Gandy spoke was the thirty-ninth annual session of the Association of Land Grant Colleges, and Dr. Gandy revealed how these colleges for the Negro had made substantial progress during the past decade. His address was given considerable prominence in the Christian Science Monitor. Negro Citizenship Dr. Gandy's address in part follows: "Elements of peaceful and harmonious relationship, which is the basis of permanent progress of all kinds, are cultivated. By thinking and planning for their Negro population's welfare, state officials develop a wholesome interest, that deep-seated good will that could hardly come short of culminating in a greater liberality of views and growing desire to see the Negro people prosper in a material way. With a broader and more varied education, the Negro people will contribute a larger share to development of the natural resources of the South. They are lending their influence and effort in popularizing agriculture by showing advantages of farming as a vocation and by spreading information about modern methods. "The Negro land grant colleges are designed to raise the standard of citizenship of the Negro by development of character through performance of the daily duties of schools, and thru creation of a higher sense of thrift, honesty, respect for law and order. Under these conditions there will be a greater contentment and a more deep-seated patriotism in the Negro population." Dean F. A. Burnett of the University of Nebraska was elected to succeed Dr. A. F. Woods, president of the University of Maryland, as president of the association. Dr. J. L. Coulter, president of the North Dakota Agricultural College, was chosen vice-president and Dean J. L.

New members of the executive committee are Dr. R. A. Pearson, president of Iowa State College of Agriculture and Dr. Woods.

BRAHSAW Virginia State Manager I wish to extend a vote of thanks to the citizens of Norfolk for cooperating with us in protecting the interests of our policy holders. In order to further conserve the interests of policy-holders, Prof. W. J. Scott, of the Booker T. W. Washington High School, has consented to lend his assistance in explaining to the people why they should hold all the insurance they have and add more to it. As stated in one of our circulars, the value of a Life Insurance Co. to a race or community is not to be judged by the owners of its stock or the dividends they receive but by the service rendered to its great body of policyholders; the investments made in their enterprises, securities and homes; and the employment offered to the young men women. This the age of money invested in the securities of our own people, and deposits in our banks. Our record along this line, prior to the merger was unequal. Since January, 1925, we have opened new accounts with three Negro Banking Institutions. We have in our employ not only hundreds of young colored men and women as agents, medical examiners and clerks, but that the Standard Life Division of this company is manned from the top to bottom with the most important assistants and clerics helpers of the highest calibre in our race. These are the things that count. Reinstated that old policy. It will be profitable. Write us today. General Offices: Atlanta* Ga. Office Of Off 523 N. Second St. Richmond, Va.

P. O. E. of W., are complete, and everything points to the biggest night in local Elkdom, just as the committee has advertised. During the week the local committee wound up its publicity campaign, which has carried the news of the big night in every nook and corner of the South. That there will be a mammoth response to this publicity, there is no room for doubt. The Armory-Hall on that night promises to be the scene of the biggest gathering of Elks ever seen in the south, excluding the Grand Lodge Convention held in Richmond in August. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson will be guest of Bureka at the Armory, as will be Grand Secretary George E. Bates, Grand Treasurer James T. Carter, and Grand Organizer Carlos C. Valle. Elks from Maryland, North Carolina and throughout Virginia are expected to be here. Music will be rendered by the entire Excelsior Band, which will consist of a band concert from 8 to 10 o'clock and dancing follow. The event will be in celebration of a great membership campaign which the lodge has just closed, in which close to 1000 new Elks were made. The campaign proved to be one of the most spectacular ever conducted in this city, and the "Hello Bill" night, the great climax, will be the most singular event of its kind ever staged here. First U. P. Church Closes Strenuous Revival Services The First United Presbyterian Church under its Board of Elders and pastor, Rev. D. F. White, has just put over a rather strenuous evangelical campaign for the spiritualization of its membership. Beginning on November 15th and closing on the 22nd, a period of 5 days, twelve special services were held. Six "Cottags Prayer Meetings" were held simultaneously in three days at six strategic points in the congregation lead respectively by the pastor, at Mrs. Henrietta Jefferson's home on Princess Andre Road; Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Wright in Marshall avenue; Mrs. Marquette Bundle; Mr. and Mrs. Laban Reid, in Brambleton avenue, Mrs. E. V. Butts; Mr. and Mrs. John Seldon, Bolton street, Miss Beri Jones; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Danny, Avenue A, Mrs. H. A. Robinson, and Miss M. H. A. Moseley Johnson avenue by Elder H. A. Robinson. During the same week the pastor preached six special sermons to the whole congregation in the church auditorium. The, general theme of three of the series being Selfishness; one on, How Christians Ought to Feel Toward One Another; another on Worldliness; and one on The Coming Judgment. On last Sunday morning the Lord's Supper was celebrated by a large audience of earnest worshipers. The services were very impressive. The atmosphere was spiritually electrified. The choir's musical program was very appropriate for the occasion. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Having just closed the 27th anniversary of the church and pastor, which was a success in every way, the members have taken a deeper interest in the church. The Sunday school on last Sunday was largely attended and many new faces were seen. At 11:30 Rev Coleman delivered a wonderful message. At 3 o'clock the pastor spoke, just returning from the annual conference, he brought many words of encouragement. The Christian Endeavor is meeting with much success. At night the pastor delivered a sermon from the subject: "Life." He brought out many interesting points that will not soon be forgotten. After the sermon, Rev C. A. Harris, president of the Eastern Virginia Christian Conference, was introduced and without a doubt made a wonderful address concerning the conference and its work. Sunday, November 22, was Home Coming Day at Metropolitan A, M. A. Zion Zion Day for the Sunday school. Many visitors were present at all of the services. This was the first promotion day the school had and since it was organized into departments. A new department was begun which is to be known as the Home Department. This department was set aside for the benefit of persons who are unable to attend Sunday school. All are invited to attend. The morning service was largely attended. Many aged and sick persons were brought to church in cars furnished by friends and members of the church. All of the services were largely attended.

The subject Sunday was "A Remedy—A Cure" Text, Jer. 8:22. Rev. Clark spoke of the modern inventions of man, proving his ingenuity and ability to master difficult situations, yet showing his inability to find a remedy and effect a cure for man's spiritual disease. The Great Healer alone finds a power with curative infallibility. He seaches out the cause and destroys it and man is re-adjusted to his former state. Elde: Dean and his congregation worshipped here, in the afternoon. At night, the pastor again filled the pulpit, and delivered an inspiring message. The rally which closed Sunday was a great success. The goal was realized. BETHANY FRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Services were good Sunday. The pastor preached at 11 a. m. to a good audience. Sunday school was well attended.

J. Langston, former pastor of Bank: Street Church, now of Tuskegee, delivered a masterly discourse on the subject, "Jesus. The Hope of Humanity," during the morning service, Sunday. A capacity congregation greeted Rev. Langston. The sermon abounded with searching analysis and power of statement. In the evening, Rev. Langston, spoke on "The Tidings of Salvation." At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Ladies' Missionary Society rendered a program in honor of Abenege Jackson, oldest living member of the church. A touching spectacle was constituted when the venerable and aged patriarch, bending under the weight of ninety years rose to tell those present eminiscences and recollections dating back seventy years, during which time he has been a member of the church giving service on the various official boards. At present he is serving as an honorary member of the Trustee Board. On next Sunday, Rev. B. F. McWilliams, D. D., will fill the pulpit at both services. Dr. McWilliams was at one time connected with Union University Theological Department and later president of Corey Memorial Institute, Portsmouth, Va.

William McLee. 87 years old, left the city Monday night over the Seenboard Air Line Railway for Atlanta, Ga., where he will visit Stone Monument and gaze upon the stone carving of his former member, General Robert E. Yee. McLee, one of the few human religios of the Civil War is a Negro, and served as Lee's bodyguard throughout the conflict between the states.

Mr. McClure wired Acting Chief of Police E. I. Jett, of Atlanta, of McLee's coming and asked that he be met at the train, suitable home be provided him while in the city, and that he be carried to Stone Mountain. Chief Jett wrote Saturday to McLee and advised him that he would be met at the train. "You will find many friends in Atlanta and I am sure you will have a good time here. We will expect you at the time mentioned in Mr. McClure's letter." Chief Jett wrote.

Of this committee, C. A. Palmer was chairman, who, although sick most of the time, worked ardently for the success of the campaign. Abner E. Lee was vice chairman, and owing to Mr. Palmer's illness, the bulk of the work pertaining to preliminary organization of the drive devolved upon him. Mr. Lee is accredited with having given ten hours a day to the work of the Community Fund. Rev. F. W. Jacobs was the secretary, and Mr. W. M. Rich, treasurer. At the close of the drive the campaign committee met and adopted resolutions of appreciation of the cooperation rendered by the public, and a set of resolutions commending Mr. Jesse O.

The Rampaging Tuskegee Tigers Continue to Lambast 'Em Silly; Romp Over Alabama State 41-0 PAGE EOUR Tuskegee Institute, Ala.Nov. 21—In a shocked silence which soon turned to ringing cheers, the 9,000 spectators, assembled in the Alumni Bowl, here, November 21 saw the second team of the Tuskegee Tigers go into position for play against the New Orleans College team, and charge down the field for a touchdown in the first eight minutes of the game, without allowing the visitors a first down or a chance to get the ball out of their territory. Similar unexpected moves, gave the fans thrill after thrill, and the Tigers took their seventh consecutive victory of the season by a score of 41-0. Most outstanding in the first quarter was the ground gaining of Whitlow, halfback; Ashley, halfback; Wooten, fleet-footed fullback, recently returned to the Tigers' lair; and Kirkland, substitute for Wooten; each having to his credit a first down. Gilder, quarterback, in spite of the fact that he took his team in without the advantage usually afforded a second team of having caught, during their wait on the bench the plays of the opponents, exhibited excellent generality. The visitors caused anxiety when Turner, their left halfback, caught Tuskegee's fumble on her 20 yard line, and by worming and slipping around the Tigers' tacklers, wont for a gain of ten yards. The quarter closed with the ball on Tuskegee's 45 yard line. The last quarter was characterized by many substitutions. New Orleans continued her aerial attack, alternating with end runs, but were only able to make two first downs. Tuskegee added two touchdowns, Joyner and Bartlett carrying the ball over, and Stevenson and Falkner making the extra points. For New Orleans, Turner, left halfback, by brilliant end runs passing and kicking, attracted the well deserved plaudits of the spectators, and was a constant threat to Tuskegee. For the Tigers, Stevenson, Bailey, Faulkner, Joyner Tadlock and Smith played well. Tuskegee—41. N. Orleans—18. Townes L. E. Harrison Taylor L. T. Erles Bagley L. G. Landry R. Camp C. Chay I. Camp R.

BY SINGLE POINT Newport News, Va.—Before two thousand spectators the annual classic between Union High school of Hampton and Huntington High school football teams were staged on Huntington High school field yesterday afternoon. Promptly at 3 o'clock Sedgwick of Huntington booted the ball to Union's 5 yard line where Diggs received and scored the ball and the line for 25 yards before he was dragged down. Attempting a run around left end. Carney fumbled and Rainy of Huntington was on the ball like a flash. Huntington opened a terrific line smash, nothing but touchdown they did before the game was 3 minutes old. Sedgwick led off with 6 yards thrill tackle. Williams followed with 2 more. Minns crashed through left tackle for four yards, making it first and ten on the 18 yard line. Again, the ball was to the line for 2 yards, followed by Minns who slipped through for 7 more, giving Sedgwick the ball again for a line smash, 5 more yards were added. Now with the ball on the 4 yard line, Sedgwick attempted to carry the ball over and gained 3 yards. Logan, quarterback stepped into the breach and carrying four men with him plunged through the center of the line for a touchdown. The try for point failed when Logan kicked wide. Score 6-0. Logan got on kicked off against to Union High receiving the 5 yard line. The steady mackback from Hampton picked his way through the Huntington team for it 15 yard loss. On an attempted end run play, Diggs was thrown for 7 yard loss by Riddick. For off side in the next play, Huntington was penalized for 5 yards. Borden immediately kicked to the 50 yard line where Sedgwick recovered the ball after Minns fumbled. Minns attempted a run around right end, but Cooke stopped him with a loss of ten yards. Sedgwick dropped back for a kick and booted the ball to Union's 25 yard line. Then occurred one of the most sensational plays of the game. Judging the ball perfectly and running easily but surely, Diggs started out in the field. He eluded the ends and a tackle who was sent to get him after, he seemed not to be the ground, but fairly through the sentire Huntington to 75 yards for a touchdown. Diggs dropped the goal for the point, kicking the ball well Southern SPORT TRAIL By Thomas W.Young The Revue Once more the curtain of sportive toleration drops, this time upon a banner season in intercollegiate athletics, a season replaces with dips. sets the tone. The West has enjoyed a banner year, certainly. Wilberforce stands on the threshold of athletic brilliance with the broad open future a welcoming path for the following years of her march. Although unable to conquer Howard in the East, the Bulldogs spied disaster for last year's C. I. A. A. champions. Wilberforce has produced individuals whose feats on the gridiron will seldom be approached by any on the Atlantic Seaboard, whose contribution to football marks their toward perfection. another step toward perfection. Howard in the East has enjoyed the most prosperous year of any of the schools, taking into camp teams from all wings of sectional football In the South, or mid-South, Hampton, Virginia Seminary, and Union ride on the crest. All of these schools have played an important brand of ball during the length of the season, and the institutions come more individuals who inevitably will tip in, bright hue. all-Americaer. She South steps in for a just handful of plaiting after doubtless her record-breaking year. Tuskegee probably claims the clearest slate of Dixie's warriors with a string of the South's best on her list of scaled. "Keeping The Records Straight" It is humanly impossible for any one to witness every grid scrap played, and consequently one has to rely to a large extent upon newspaper reports for information. Some weeks ago we commented upon a rare feat accomplished by none other than the pest controler the Tuskogge "Four Horsemen." The newspaper report stated that he grabbed a horse and raced through the entire Morrishouse team to a touchdown. It is humanly impossible for any played, and consequently, one has to paper reports for information. So a rare feat accomplished by none of the Tuskogee "Four Horsesmen." The he grabs "kick-off and races the 80 yards for a touchdown." Now comes word from W. C. K. the kick-off, but that he did run however, does not distract from St. one of the most colorful in the history how essentially necessary it is for accurate. Now comes word from W. C. K. that our hero did not score from the kick-off, but that he did run 70 yards from scrimmage. This, however, does not distract from Stevenson's football career which is one of the most colorful in the history of the game. But it does show how essentially necessary it is for newspaper reports to be true and accurate. The Cager's Melee Until the first waged ducks-reve our cars will be filled with the plush the back board and rebounds into strings of the basket. Again the West and East reign again the land of the sunny clime cage game on the plane which it is. But among the country's great Morhouse and Hampton fives. Las ward in a broad and daring camp of Wilberforce and West Virginia quished represented nearly every stage including the Hampton Seaside period of some of the most dazzling withdrawn. At the end of each bit telling extra period, Batley and TV veteran John Gorman gave way. Yet the Seasiders are persistent defeat until every effort has been has barked its last time. In 1923, when Lincoln invaded the Lions sprang a surprise. The trailing on the short end of a 19-2 secured its measly two points on versed the drama and Hampton, viden taking the ball, came out victor. The South, although not in the steadily forging forward, and in a confronted with indomitable focus of skill will be measured out defeats. Until the firefighters duck return from the sunlit merry South, our cars will be filled with the plank of the basketball as it strikes the back board and rebounds into the cage rattling throughout the strings of the basket. Again the East reign superior over the climbing South; again the land of the sunny clime bows to the land that placed this on the plane, which it now holds. But among the country's greatest quintets are the celebrated Morehouse and Hampton fives. Last season the Maroon swept northward in a broad and daring campaign and fell only to the baskettails of Wilberforce and West Virginia in the college circles. Her vanquished represented nearly every school below the Mason and Dixon line including the Hampton Seasiders who yielded only after an extra period of some of the most dazzling and breath-taking play ever witnessed. At the end of each half the count was even but in that telling extra period, Bailey and Trayler registered Morehouse's fifth victory over her rival of days gone and days to come. Yes the Seasiders are persistent fighters, never willing to accept defeat until every effort has been expended and the timekeeper's gun has barked its last time. In 1923, when Lincoln invaded the seaport less favored to win, the Lions sprang a surprise. The second half ended with Hampton trailing on the short end of a 19-2 count, the Blue and White having secured its meanly two points on free throws. The second half reversed the drama and Hampton, venturing far down into the Lions' den taking the ball, came out victorious in the end. The South, although not in the front on the basketball court, is steadily forging forward, and in a few years the regal West will be confronted with indomitable foe from the sunny land, foes whose calibre of skill will be measured only by the grimness of opponent's defeats. over the fence. Score Union 7.1 Substitutes: Storor—Collins for Huntington 6. Lee, Daniels for Brown. Jammed up against the side line with a strong west wind blowing against him, Siderwick's attempted punt was bunched out of bounds before it had traveled 10 yards. It was Union's ball on Huntington's 10 yard line. Here again a brilliant bit of football was demonstrated when the Huntington defense resisted every effort of the wily Crabtown aggregation to cross the last white mark. Faking an end run, Diggs shot a beautiful pass to Borden on the 3 yard line. Carney hit for something bitter than 2 yards, carrying the ball to the 1 foot line, smashing again Robinson as the battering rush Union gained 6 yards. Huntington was holding and determined to continue a painful defense. Striving, the illusive Diggs was called on for one of his superb end runs, but feet-footed as he was, Curry snatched him down for a 4 yard loss. From the shadow of his goal Captain Sedgwick punted out to the 28 yard line. Time was getting short, there were but 2 minutes to play. Union kicked to Huntington after another line play and the football classic became history. Final score, Union, 7; Huntington, 6. Referee, T. L. Puryear, V. N. & I. I.; umpire, A. C. Jackson, V.

The greatest, surprise of the year in the local local realm, came Monday at Hoggan Park, when the St. Joseph school downed Norcom, of Portsmouth at 6-0, in a merry scramble and a game that was featured by both teams. It was one of these fumbles that proved the undoing of Norcom. Norcom received the kick-off and after failing to advance the ball, punted to the opposingieve it. Both teams punted frequently to keep the ball out of the danger zone, with Wilkins and Williams done the hooting work for I. Joseph. The game sagged until, near the end of the first period when the Catholics uncooked an air attack that caught Norcom off guard. Williams to Uzzie was good for 20 yards and placed the ball on Norcom's 10 yard line. Two thugs gave St. Joseph three yards and on the next play the ball was fumbled, and the pounced upon it, recording and going the balance at the distance for the long tailer to the game. In the center of the field, Norcom showed the best driving power, with Big Boy Doughty cracking the line for good yardage, but the Portsmouth teams slowed down on fumble before getting within striking distance. In the remaining three periods neither team was able to score. St. Joseph attempted an airial attack again. There were good connections with Williams on the firing end, but Norcom held the Catholic boys in check. THE LINEUP St. Joseph—6 Norcom—0 Ferebee. L. E. Jones Johnson. L. T. Weston Alexander. L. G.

This game's victory makes Booker Washington more impressive in the height of his climb and the in which the eleven took the measure of the Ronoa team, bids fair championship honors for the season. Harrison's light squad put up a stubborn and plucky fight and forced the Bookers to unork all they had to take the scramble. The powerful offensive of the Norfolk team-proved too much for Harrison and she weakened under the pressure of a gruffling and hectic encounter. The Fighting Bookers started a brilliant drive after Tolliver missed a punt, which was recovered by Harrison, who immediately kicked again. This drive seriously threatened and looked had for Harrison, but a fumble released the ball to the local clan. Harrison attempted to work the ball to Harrison's hold and forced the opening eleven to kick out of danger. The Bookers began another march and after annexing a first down, Harrison's first line of defense braced to hold and forced Washington to give up the oval Harrison showed a burst of speed at this point and by flashy end runs and several thrusts at the line, accounted for a first down. Here Booker Washington caught back hard, strong and imaging Rouanoke piphon弹洞s The Fighting Bookers had their fight aroused and began another heavy offensive drive that resulted into the first touchdown of the fray. A series of heavy cracks at the line of Harrison proved successful with Ross, with a dash Thomas carrying with Typha on a dash the receiver eased over for first blood. This score came in the second frame. Harrison Threatens In the third stanza, Harrison threatened to tally, which came as a result of a short punt by Tolliver. The ball was received on Harrison's 30 yard line. A complete pass paved the oval on her 18 yard line. Harrison was beginning to drive now, but Tolliver drove through to nail a runner for a 20 yard loss. Harrison never did. The ball was kept in her territory throughout the remainder of the game. Thomas, a fuzzy sub for the Bookers paved the way for another scene by dashing off 40 yards in a neat manner, leaving many of the Harrison clan in his wake. This sprinting Booker, who goes a shot-out of a cannon was not stopped until he had reached the enemy's 20 yard line. The Roinch clan can get a 10 yard penalty on the next play and the Bookers got a .5 yard penalty in return. The ball was now nestling on the 15 yard line. Ross and line were for enough yankage to get first down and Johnson squirred over for the second touchdown and added the extra point via dronkik.

PLANS TO BAR SMITH WALLOPS WILLS-DEMPSEY ALLEN GRIDDERS (By Preston News Service. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 27—The foundation for placing legal obstacles in the path of the proposed Wills-Dempsey secrecy for next summer were inidet when Attorney General Gillon gave Governor Jackson an opinion on the legality of the fight which virtually prohibits the meeting of Dempsey and his challenger. "It is possible," Gillon said, "that these men might, without violating the law, meet for the single purpose of exhibiting their skill as axes, excluding from their purpose the exchange of blows which would be calculated to determine superiority between them in their chosen and well-known profession. If this is the nitention there is no intended violation of the law." Otherwise he held that such a meeting would violate the spirit of the Indiana law.

But there's room for more teams and those desiring to get into the game this season ought to be getting under way, in order that playing facilities might be a great deal better than that of last season. It was rather hard for one team to do very much in alleviating such conditions, therefore it had to continue under the circumstances, hoping that something would be done. Booker Washington came out to continue its caging activities, but got cold feet, for some reason and drew back in her shell. Had she remained in the running and helped the -Community Center Club wage a fight for proper playing facilities at nominal rates, it is reasonable to presume that, by this time something would have been done. There is enough material here now to have a basketball league and surely, if a number of teams are got together and cooperate, a great deal could be done in helping to give Norfolk a worthwhile basketball league. Teams could be formed from the various athletic clubs. There are, Norfolk, Tennessee, Tide w ater, Royal and Community Center Athletic Clubs that have basketball material to offer. Of course the latter already has its team formed. Then, teams could be organized from both lodges of Elks and this would be a wonderful nucleus to build a league around. There are a number of Sunday schools who have a great number of young men who would gladly aid in organizing a league among the Sunday schools. All of these things would go a long way in placing Norfolk in the running athletically, which she is claimed to be already. A basketball league would give fans enough basketball to wear off the novelty of the thing and create a real desire to see more games and in time to come, the game will have a large following. Representatives of the above mentioned athletic clubs who are interested in forming such a league can receive additional information by getting in touch with the above signed. BAPTIST COLLEGE SNOWS SHORTER UNDER AT 30-0 BAPTIST COLLEGE SNOWS SHORTER UNDER AT 30-0 (By Preston News Service) North Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 25 —A. B. C's fleet footed team had too many plays up their sleeves for the Shorter College gridsters Monday afternoon and when the final gun sounded, the "Navy Aggregation" had run up a gigantic score of 30 to 0 and strengthened their chin to collegiate championship of the Stats. A previous fumble in the first quarter gave the "Buffaloos" their first six points, but thereafter the touchdowns were earned, largely by the sensational forward pass route, one of which counted for 80 yards. The Shortet eleven played a splendid game but the Baptist boys were too much for them in practically every department of the game. Of several occasions the winners showed their superior skill and gift. They out-gamed the Methodist boys all the way through the contest. Straight and Alcorn Battle Scoreless Alcorn, Mississippi—The Crimson Tide of Straight College and the powerful "Aggrie" aggregation of Alcorn College played one of the hardest, muddiest, and best football games on Oct. 31, ever seen on the local gridiron. The game was played in a field of mud and in a down-pouring rain. Over 800 students and spectators, wildly excited and rain-soaked, cheered vigorously as the two teams battled futilely for 60 minutes in such stormy weather. Both teams quit just like they started. The score was 0-0. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, there was an excellent brand of football exhibited. First and foremost must be mentioned the game little Straight's squad who played the greatest game, so far this season. Straight's little thint red, line charged and tackled and fought as they have never done before. They battled as though life itself depended upon their efforts. Alcorn's line end to end was almost impregnable and withstood the onslaught of the visiting team prayedly. Of course, the Alcorn line out-weighted the Tide line, at least, 25 pounds per man, and that was a great advantage over the lighter eleven. S.C. STATE WINS OVER MORRIS S.C. STATE WINS OVER MORRIS Orangeburg, S. C., Nov. 20—In a hard fought battle here today, State College gridders completely surprised Morris College aggregation of Sumter, S. C., by winning the contest 6 to 0. winning the contest to 6-0. In the first quarter Morris College, by line plunges and several end runs, was able to carry the ball to State's twenty yard line. Here the defense tightened and after an attempted field-goal, State got possession of the ball and kicked it out of danger. State College, in the beginning of the second quarter, worked the ball for gain by an aerial attack to Morris College's fifteen yard line. A penalty for State on the fourth down caused her to resort to a long forward pass, which was successfully completed for a touchdown after the ball had been touched by a morris man. The first half ended with Morpis, after a long successful pass, within ten yards of the goal line. In the second half neither team was able to do as much ground gaining and a defensive game was played. State College receiving several penalties for holding and off-side, had to resort to kicking to keep the ball from her territory. The game ended with the ball in Morris' possession. CLAFLIN TAKES ALLEN SQUAD INTO CAMP CLAFLIN TAKES ALLEN SQUAD INTO CAMP Orangeburg, S. C., Nov. 16—Exhibiting a strong defense and a fairly consistent offense, the Claffinites had little trouble in stopping Allen. The final score was Claffin 7, Allen 0. But it was a more decisive victory than the score indicates. An attempted dropkick was the closest Allen came to scoring. Twice, decisions of the officials cut down Claffin's chances for further scoring. Once the ball, having been scooped up after Allen's fumble had actually been carried across the goal line; another time the ball had been carried within five yards of goal. On another occasion the Allen line by holding for downs took possession of the ball on their six yard line. Claflin registered 13 first downs, while Allen was unable to earn a single first down. Claflin made 239 yards from scrimmage against 38 yards for Allen. Claflin com- pleted 3 forward passes out of 9 attempts, Allen completed 1 out of 6 attempts. For 6 punts Claflin averaged 30 yards each; for 10 punts Allen averaged 26 yards ench. THE LINEUP Allen—0 Claflin—7 Bradman R. E. Prioleau Wenthers L. T. Shuler McClary L. G. Sullivan Britt C. S.

"It is amazing," he continued, "how little we know about conditions in our communities. I've live with Negroes about me all my life and I find it is precious little I know of them. In Greenville county we don't know the proportion of Negro population; we don't know a bout school conditions outside of the city; we may know a little of the jails and hospitals. We don't know anything scarcely about them—at least the white man in Greenville doesn't a and Greenville is about like other South Carolina towns. We want servants that will be regular and satisfactory in their work—and that is about all we know." Started By Negro Woman "The work in Greenville," he said, "was started by a Negro woman. It was finally included in the community fund and after a time about $70,000 was raised for the work. White business men thought that if a good building were erected the work could be carried on. We didn't know much about the Negro and our work was experimental. We believed the Negroes would raise $20,000 over a ten year period to carry on the work. The Negroes have raised over $4,000 and the building was opened in December a year ago. Thousands of contacts are made monthly thru the center; directed play has been provided for and all that interests the Negro interests Phyllis Wheat- ley. "I don't believe the work could have been done except by prominent white citizens. We could not have got the Negroes to come in unless we had their confidence; nor FROM THE PRESS BOX Norfolk—College Football And Attendance On looking over files of a few years back, a very interesting headline revealed itself and it read, "Norfolk Looms As Football Center." It was quite interesting to note and naturally prompted a perusal of the underlying article. It was the source of much retrospection and harked back to the gala day of November 6, 1922, when around 4,000 fans and old grads sat on and watched the clash between Union and Morehouse the first intercollegiate meet here. This was a grand spectacle, indeed and had one of the largest galleries ever in evidence to witness a football game on the local lot. That was three years ago and there have been six other intercollegiate games here since that time, making an average of two games a year, and not a single one of these subsequent affairs has enjoyed such a large gate. That number has never been threatened to be equalled let alone being eclipsed and this seems to show exactly how much "Norfolk Looms As A Football Center." The games that followed the Union-Morehouse encounter have had some very unappreciative crowds, that insure the discontinuance of college fries here, unless larger numbers support the games that the various schools have been so kind to elect to throw our way. This great falling off of attendance in such a short space of time cannot be accounted for and might become the source of much alarm. There has been much discussion in connection with the attendance at college games here and the feasibility of proper days has been stressed mostly. There is strong contention that Monday is the best day and Saturday, very inconvenient. There does not seem to be much in that. The first three games following that in 1922, were staged on Mondays. The Hampton-SL.Paul game here last year was the first staged here on Saturday and there has not been any conspicuous difference shown either way, so the seemingly strong contention is weak in that it does not show anything, in spite of the fact that some reasonable points have been advanced. The cause lies in another direction and it seems to be, that Norfolk fans, after yelling for events under the big top, are failing to show appreciation. Saturday might be slightly inconvenient for a number, but not enough so to give a reasonable excuse for more fans not turning out than have been. Saturday is the college day of football and surely the schools cannot disturb their curricula or modus operandi to appease the fickle fancies of a few fans. Rather than that, they will take their games away from Norfolk and stage them where they were formerly scheduled before the switch. At the highest, thus far, there have only been two intercollegiate games here in one year and these games were known of far enough in advance for any real fans to so arrange their business in order that they might see these games. It is just a matter of a few hours and the game is over and much time has not been lost either. If we wish to keep them coming fellows, we must turn out in unstinted numbers. Ho Hum! Almost Time For The Mythical Elevens With the passing of Thanksgiving, some of the leading writers and critics will find themselves confronted with the annual task of post-sportems—in other words, the seriousness of skimming the cream of the season from the top of the mass—or in simpler words, picking the mythical all-American football eleven. This is a task, indeed and the picker or selector experiences more mental labor in a short while, than he does the entire football season, trampling down soggy sidelines and braving the chilly blast of the rain-soaked pressbox, covering the important games of the season, in an attempt to get a line on the best the short period of pigslin revely has in the offing. Compassion upon the brave fellow who takes such a job upon himself. ____. It seems that the season just closed has very little timber to offer, that is, timber of the flashing and dashing variety, the kind that has gained wide spread attention. Nevertheless, since the picking of an all-American is a precedent now, it will have to be gone through this year as all others that have passed. The season has something to offer, be it great or small. Whoever picks this year, will do well to give the following mon some very serious consideration before releasing their final selection: Wheedbee, Va. Seminary; Brown, Va. Seminary; Polk, Va. Seminary; Ward, Wilberforce; Woolridge, Wilberforce; Doakes, Howard; Turner, W. Virginia; Richie, Wilberforce; Stevenson, Tuskegee; Parker, Straight; Pindle, Hampton; Lee, Hampton; Alexander, Hampton; Miller, Howard; Lancaster, Lincoln; Calloway, Lincoln; Goodman, Lincoln or Living of Morchouse. Then there are Boffman and Shields of Union who have been out of a few games, but are there just the same. There's a fine array for you. Some might make it and some might not, but surely they will have to come in for their share of consideration. They can't be overlooked altogether. Probably their Thanksgiving dash against Hampton will be of such that will merit a good bit of consideration. Those In The Background There will be found many stars rarely heard from, if at all.

Our whole effort has been to develop Nero leadership. Not Bound By Traditions "We are not bound by tradition nor by what the public thinks. Yet the public wants us to succeed and we have so far met with no criticism. "The first question that came up affected Greenville as it would other South Carolina towns. One of the playground officers called the Negroes 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' and some wanted her replaced. "An occasion arose when we wanted to print some names and we ran the names with 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' prefixed—and some were names of white people and some were names of Negroes. There was no objection raised. "We have got to arouse the pride, the self-confidence and race consciousness in the Negro. This is your work. We wanted the pictures of Negro leaders on the walls of the building." "The center has been a great surprise to whites and Negroes. We don't respect the man who goes about in rags and when we turned the building over to the Negroes we told them we expected them to keep it as well as any building in Greenville was kept. "We can do nothing unless the race does its part. "We are interested in a Negro newspaper for Negroes. We want to learn more of the Negro. We are trying to run the Wheatley center in Greenville as business men and we are making an honest effort to do it." Mr. Parker's address was heard with much interest.

AGGIES Atlanta, Georgia, November 21 —Playing to a gallery of 5,000 spectators, Morehouse played one of the best games of the season Friday when she overwhelmed the fast Alabama team 20 -0. The weather was brisk enough to call forth fast action, and the two teams gtHoped over the goal line a lively gait. Although the Maroon team went over the goal line in the first seven minutes of the game, the Alabama boys rallied and fought like demons. It was only the superb driving of Finley and Carlyle Walker that finally broke up the Aggies' defensive and caused the Tigers to put over two more touchdowns. 'In the first two periods of the game, the Aggies' captain, "Red" Hall, tried repeatedly to break thru the Tiger's defensive, but poor interference on the part of his teammates' caused him to fail. The sensation of the game, however, was his splendid open-field running in' returning the kick-off. He returned the ball at the beginning of the second half' from the 15 to the 50 yard line, and when he was downed from behind, he had the clear field to goal. Ingtown was almost sure of victory when down in the last minute of the game. Neither team scored the extra point after goal. The score ended 6-6. Downingtown's line has shown great improvement.

Long, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, East Orange, N. J. sins North Jersey crucified to his gripping sequence from all points including New York. Recently came to East Orange, the Rev. C. M. Long, formerly the pastor of the great Bank Street Baptist Church, of Norfolk, Va., who has since his arrival caused East Orange to awaken to new determination both in Church, Community and Civic Life. Beginning work on a new field of service, Rev. C. M. Long, a brilliant young Gospel minister, has put his whole heart and soul into Calvary Baptist Church, increasing the membership each Sebbath, more interest in all apartments and laying constitutive planks for the future growth of the church. East Orange, as well as Calvary, is proud of such a foresighted young person as a leader. No effort being placed on his part to introduce many new ideas into the Church and Community. Calvary only wishes for his success in the work. Sunday, November 15th, was a day of Thanksgiving at Calvary. The morning sermon delivered by the pastor was the most instructive sermon heard for a long time. Text, 151 Stalmas 12: 'Restore unto me the joy of thy Salvation', in which discourse .the pastor laid very interesting reasons for the utterance of these words by David. The sermon was received by a crowded congregation who enjoyed this valuable service. At the end of the service, two members were added to the Church, Mrs. C. Turner and Mr. Dupes, formerly of Virginia. "Father and Son" day services held in the evening was one worthy of note. Again, as usual, the pastor opened the 'Book of Light' unto his waiting congregation, Text: Genesis 22: 'Abraham is tempted to offer Isaac.' Rev. Long pictured very vividly the relationship between the father and son in this sermon. An interesting feature of the sermon was the symbolical meaning of the ram. Abraham, Isaac and the raising of Isaac, as compared to the Resurrection. Special renditions were made by Mr. J. W. Bowers, secretary of Y. M. C. A., of Orange and Mr. Henry Davis, of Mr. John E. Aearley, Mr. Bowers selection "Man's Second Chance." All of these selections were seasoned by an artist melody by quasimus, Miss M. C. A., opuscommi, assisted by the Messrs. 'Bird' and Otis Davis and Mr. William Downer. Special music was given by male choir. This is just the kind of worship which Rev. Long has been having on the new field. Being deeply appreciative of Rev. Long's presence with us, Calvary and all of New Jersey, are doing everything possible to hold him for future years. Beginning, November 16th, for a period of two weeks, the Rev. E. Tyler, of the Second Baptist Church, Atlantic City, will conduct a revival and war against sin. Rev. Tyler has the distinction as a talented singer and a powerful pastor. We hope for him great success. Calvary Baptist Church, Edward T. Bowser, Church Reporter. $1160.00 Raised B. Monumental A. M. E. Church, Sunday The pastor, officers and members of Monumental A. M. E. Church for the second time in the last six months have gone on record in raising of finance that proves to be a record breaker for congregations. Less than a year ago the present pastor, Rev. A. C. Clark came to this church and in such short space of time has raised more than six thousand dollars, has re-established the financial standing of the church and added nearly one hundred members. The congregation has increased and it is not an unusual thing, for people to be turned away for the restrictions. His series of sermons have attracted many hearers to enjoy the message of the gospel. On last Sunday night, $1160 was placed on the table. Just five months ago two thousand dollars was raised by this congregation and friends. Dr. A. J. Nottingham, the presiding elder of the Richmond district is doing much in helping to make this one of the outstanding points on the district and in the State. He holds his third quarterly conference Sunday and will fill the pulpit throughout the day. Colored Billy Sunday At Garrett's Temple Church On Nicholson Street Dr. C. P.

MORRISETTE 303 Law Building Dial 24074 Nights 30573 To Engage In Institutional Work HOLY Bank Street Baptist Church Big Mass Meeting For Weaver Orphan Home at St. John's, Sunday Norfolk's first mass meeting in interest of Weaver Orphan Home of Hampton will be held at St. John's A, M. E, Church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. A very attractive program has been prepared for the event. Mrs. Maud Weaver Winston, the Field Secretary for the Home is directing a campaign to raise $5,000 to lift the indebtedness on the institution, has been assured that Norfolk is willing to do its work in helping such a worthy cause. Practically every church, club, society and fraternal organization in the city has promised to send donations and to have representatives at Sunday afternoon's meeting. For 21 years Weaver Orphan Home has striven to give refuge to the Negro Orphan boys and girls of Virginia that have applied for admission. At present the Home has thirty-five inmates and doubly as many applicants whose parents are dead, and who must be housed, clothed, fed and morally trained by somebody. Weaver Orphan Home cannot take them in on account of lack of accommodations, but it is the aim of the managers to wipe out their present notes, expand the institution so that these homeless children may be cared for. During its entire existence the institution has been under the personal direction of its founders, Rev. and Mrs. A. B. Weaver. For them the sacrifice has been tremendous, and now realizing their physical endurance is nearing its end, they are hoping to make the life of the same permanent by virtually putting it into the hands of the public. Most of the children are from Norfolk, yet Rev. and Mrs. Weaver have not before called on this city for a campaign in its behalf. They are counting on Norfolk doing its share Sunday afternoon, and this share, Mrs. Winston believes, will surpass the amount raised in Hampton a few weeks ago, which was more than $800.00. Every organization, religious or sectarian that has not yet had the personal solicitation of Mrs. Winston, is expected and asked to represent with a donation Sunday. She says it has been a physical impossibility for her to visit them all, but she believes that they will realize their great opportunity to aid in home missions and help the Weaver Orphan Home to pay its obligations and live. J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks is expected to have a part on the program Sunday. The Elks are very much interested in the Home, the Grand Lodge having donated to it $250.00 a few weeks ago. It is claimed that the Elks of Virginia have intimated that in event the institution is cleared of its present obligations; they will entertain the idea of erecting a mammoth dormitory there on behalf of Virginia orchans. Sunday schools, B. Y. P. U.'s, A. C. E. Leagues, etc., are reminded that they can engage in very constructive home missionary effort by aiding the orphans of Wenner Home, Sunday. These orphan children will have part on the program at the mass meeting. The thirty-five children, whose parents have crossed the Great Divide will come to Norfolk and let Norfolk people see how well they have been trained and cared for in the Home. Every person in the city should avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing these children sing and recite. Mrs. Alverta Gilpin, talented singer of Richmond, will sing several selections. "A Dramatic Sermon' A Dramatic Sermon will be delivered at the Second Calvary Baptist Church, Sunday night, November 29, at 7 o'clock p. m., on "Daniel in the Lion's Den." The following persons will assist the pastor in delivery of the sermon, the Misses P. L. Smith, L. A. Hawks, Maggie Gray, Mrs. Edna Wilson --- Institutional Work ing For phan Home John's, Sunday and others. It will be the first sermon of its kind possibly ever delivered in a pulpit in Norfolk. The purpose of it will be to interest the people more in the truth of the Bible by bringing the gospel widely as possible before the hearers. All members and friends of the above church are asked to be present and on time to see and listen to the greatest dramatic sermon ever delivered from the pulpit of the Second Calvary Baptist Church. At the 11 a.m. service, the pastor will speak on the subject: "A Good Conscience." Everybody is asked to be present at this hour to join in and sing together, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." The church has added to its service four hundred song books out of which each person will be able to sing. At 3:30 o'clock there will be a Spiritual Song Service led by the pastor and assisted by the choir. Every one who wishes to come and join with us in the great service. The above church is adding much services, not only in making each person who comes welcome, but to give them some spiritual truths that will be food for them while they are absent from the church. This coming Sunday will be what is known as "Home Coming Sunday." All members and friends of the above named church are asked to be present, on time and to attend each of these services. MT. LERANON: BAPTIST At the morning services the pastor preached from Daniel 6:22, a very elifying sermon. At 4 o'clock the Sunday School Council met at this church. B. Y.-P. U. exercises were quite interesting. At night the pastor preached another informative sermon. The Sunday school of this church is continually evidencing progress which places it among the front rank schools. Next Sunday being missionary day, there will be preaching here morning, afternoon and night. RAINBOW WEDDING The Rainbow Wedding given at the Shiloh Baptist Church was a good and largely attended. Other services were also good. In the United States 8,100 persons die from burns annually. Church Plans To Enlarge Program (Continued From Page One) church has had some very able pastors. In recent years, Dr. J. W, Moss, late pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist, New York City, Dr. C. S. Morris, a pulpit orator and evangelist of international fame, Rev. R. J. Langston, now of Tuskegee Institute, and Rev. C. M. Long, now patrolling in East Orange, N. J., have been its ministers. The greatest strides of progress in the church's history were taken during the administrations of the Rev. Messrs. Morris and Langston. The formed conducted the church's greatest revival in which cloven hundred additions were made, remodelled the church edifice, purchased three pieces of valuable real estate and erected the first modern Negro departmental Sunday school building in the South. During Rev. Langston's partorate of four years, nearly $45,000 was was bonded indebtedness of the church. Besides the edifice for worship, the church owns a large, well appointed parsonage, and three other houses in a net annual revenue of $1,000. Situated on a street, destined in the very near future to be one of Norfolk's largest business thorofares, causes the church property to be valued at $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand). During the War, the officers rejected an offer of $150,000 for the church's holdings. Its Handicap The greatest handicap of the NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE al Work The unfortunate frequency that it has changed pastors. Although it has been proved time and again by both internal and external evidence that the congregation did not "run its ministers away" as is commonly charged, the fact that the ministers it had did leave for one cause or another at the end of five or six years, cause certain onus to rest against the name of the church. To rid itself of that elusive stigma, the church has planned to move than raise funds for its own support and a desultory program for Missions, it has planned an extensive program of Social Service and enlarged Mission work. New Features The Church's budget for 1928 has the following new features: An open door to the Church every day of the week with a social worker and secretary in charge; a visiting nurse for the sick of the church aged the community in general; educative features for the young people of the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U.; larger contribution to worthy educational institutions; more attention and larger contributions to the needy members of the church; at least two annual socials for all the members; a constructive advertising and publicity program for the purpose of enlarging the membership; and materially increased appropriations for Home and Foreign Missions. The Church will also own such a program as outlined above, the Church believes that if it is successful in securing for its next pastor, a conscientious, Christian gentleman, endowed with the talents of pulpit eloquence, and executive ability, filled with the Holy Spirit, the banner of Christ will be carried to higher heights than ever before, and that "elusive onus" will be forever wiped from the eschecute of the Church. Mrs. Rhinelander Bares Body To Jury (Continued from Page One) over, Mrs. Rhinelander, the lawyers, kip, newspaper reporter's three of whom were women, returned from Justice Morchauser's chamber, where the inspection took place, to the courtroom. Mrs. Rhinelander's bared form showed unmistakably the traces of African blood in her veins. Under her garments she is much darker than is her face, which with the aid of cosmetics, has a sort of Spanish or Mexican shade. She is underneath what the sheiks and flammers call "high brown." Judge Isaac N. Mills, Rhinelander's attorney, although a veteran of many a legal battle, seemed almost exasperated at the late turn of events in the trial. During its early stages, when he, with apparent self-assurance, read many letters of Mrs. Rhinelander the young Kip, with the colored he had deliberately entrapped an unh sophisticated chap, Lee Parsons Davis warned him that should he persist in reading those confidential missives, there would later be a retaliation by the reading of Kip's letters. And this has come, come much to the embarrassment of Judge Mills and to the severe discomfort of his client. Letter number 2 contained the unprintable stuff. The hearers, who included no women except three newspaper reporters, were amazed at the nerve of a man who would write such "loot letters" and have the audacity to call the mails. Concluding reading Davis turned to Rhinelander and asked: "You told this jury that all of your relations with Alice Jones were natural?" he said. "Yes." "Do you consider this natural?" he tapped to the letter in his hand. "I—thought it was. Later, under the re-direct examination, answered a question put by Judge Mills by saying that Alice had asked him to do what he described in the letter to her and intimated that she had been his instructress in all things that his many letters and his admissions had described as having passed between them. Both of the damaging letters were written from the Cliff Hotel, in San Francisco, soon after Kip and his sweetheart were hired as principal of the Marie Antionio by the elder Rhinelander and torn from each other, the boy being sent on a long cruise to widen the breach. Pleading For Chance Pleading for a chance to define his position and the blame he placed on the girl who is now his unwanted wife, Kip stammered through this explanation: "My letters were the only outlet I had, as I was being true to Alice, who as my whole heart and soul, my whole body went into the letters." Rhindlander's "Mystery" Letters Here are the Rhinelander "mystery" letters, which halted the trial last week, and which contained references to unnatural practices the young millionaire indulged in with Mrs. Rhinelander at the Hotel Marie Antionette before their marriage. They have been deleted. (Chift Hotel, San Francisco, California. Tuesday Night, July 11, 1922.) (Last letter until I get to Honolulu.) My own dearest girl. All day long I have been dreading this very moment and thinking how can I ever write Alice tonight, because dear, do you realize this will be the day you will get from me for probably two weeks! thats the reason, darling, I hate to sit down at this desk tonight, because it will be a long, long time before I can mail you another one and, dear, it will be a longer time still, I am sorry to say, before that letter reaches you. * * * * Last night, sweetheart, after writing three full pages to you, I undressed and scrambled into my bed, but not to go to sleep. No, "Yon know that this was the vilest kind of 'smut' didn't you?" Davis asked. Kip stammered a reluctant "Yes." Admitting further that it was at the hotel before he first knew her in the biblical sense, that Alice had admitted to him her affair with another man, Kip also admitted that he was willing to forgive and forget. HeInstalled later, in answer to Davis' question: "But you would object to marrying a girl with the slightest taint in her blood?" Kip answered firmly: "As to color, I drew the line." Mr. Davis introduced letter No. 1. Q.-Did you love her then? A.-Yes. Q.-Did you mean to tempt her? A.-No. Q.-Then why did you write, "Doesn't this tempt you?" A-I don't know. Q.-Were you trying to exile Alice? A.-I was being true to Alice and had other way to relieve my emotions except in these letters. I put my whole heart and soul into them. Q.—How did you relieve your emotions when you were not true to Alice? A.—I was always true. Q.—You couldn't be true to her before you met her? A.—No. Q.—Then why did you have to write this sort of stuff to a girl, no matter who she was, to relieve your emotions? A.—It was the only way. Q.—You realize this was only "smut" and you wrote it to satisfy your own passion—is that correct? A.—I wrote it only to keep my word of honor. Q.—Again, ask you what you may saying to your present wife, "Sweetheart, am I tempting you, and doesn't it bring back memories of pleasant days together?" Was it only to gratify your own desires? A.—Yes. Q.—Did you mean what you wrote? A.—I did. Q.—Then you admit you were tempting her? A.—No. I was just asking a question. Q.—You wanted her to answer? A.—No. Q.-Why did you ask a question if you didn't want an answer? A. I don't know. Mr. Davis introduced the second letter. Q.-Did you love this girl when you wrote this letter? A.-I did. Q.-Did you intend to marry your wife then? A.-I did. Q.-Did you have any definite intentions? A.-No definite idea. Q.-Were you trying to tempt her? A.-I suppose I was. Q.-Have you any letters from Alice using language like that? A.-No. Q.-Not one? A.-No. Q.-So you put it up to her? Show me one letter from Alice where she asked you to write this sort of stuff. A.-I don't know of any. Q.-Then why were you writing that kind of thing? A.-I was thinking. Q.—Thinking of yourself? A.—No. I was thinking of Alice. Q.—When did Alice tell you she had been with another man? A.—I don't recollect that—only in her letters. Q.-See if you can't recall when you first discussed it with her. A.-I haven't any recollection of it. Q.-Did you make the inquiry? A.-No. Q.-She volunteered it? A.-I believe she did. Q.-Wasn't it you that asked her at the Marie Antoniette? A.-I don't remember. Is there anything that would hurt your memory? A.-I don't know. Q.-This girl, pictured as chasing after you, voluntarily confessed it? A.-Yes. Q.-Yet, she who voluntarily confessed this fact to you in the summer of 1924, deceived you as to her color? A.-Yes. Davis then announced his intention of permitting Thildeander to identify the color of Thildea's skin. Mr. Davis I do not want any such demonstration of a naked body at this trial." Mr. Davis: "It will not be entirely naked?" The Court: "It is important. It must be shown in this sort of a case." Mr. Davis: "I intend to have the witness merely identify the color of her body and the lower limbs." On the return to court, Judge Mills put on the record that Mrs. Rhinelander's breast, back, legs just above the knees were exposed for examination to the jury, in the presence of Rhinelander. Davis resumed cross-examination. Q—You have just seen your wife's body? A—Yes. Q—Is it the same shade as when you saw her in the Marie Antionette with all her clothing off? A—It is. Mr. Davis: "That is all." baby, do you know what I did? something that you do when my letters arrive at night. Yes, loved one, I took everyone of your notes which I received at general delivery and read them while laying on the bed. Oh! blessed sweetheart of mine, some of the things that my brook taught tears to my blue eyes.

Alexander, N (By Presson News Service) American history shows that the effort to absorb the Negro as save failed; that the second effort to absorb him as a serf failed; and that the third effort to absorb as a quasi-citizen also failed. The Fourth Effort The nation began its fourth effort during the World War. Outgrain necessity, opened the doors industry to colored men and women; it trained colored men as soldiers and sent thousands of them areas to shoot down the "terror Huns" of Central Europe; and assured the race that its members would receive their share of democracy for which they gave full measure in BRAWN 000D and MATERIALS. At same time, IT CONTINUED LYNCH NEGROES, BOMB EIR HOMES, AND OUTRAGE EIR WOMEN. During this period, the Ku Klux Klan was read; the Pan African Movement launched; Marcus Garvey into the limelight; organized made friendly overtures to troop labor; inter-racial conciling gained impetus; and the Fed Government, by creating the area of Negro Economics, made first attempt to adjust bi-racial relations. World War Reconstruction When World War Reconstruction in Negroes were ordered to for that they had worked and bled "make the world safe for Decayry"—they were commanded to their former status of slaves. Thus, because the na-na refused to recognize the race's regular and unvarying services in the face of overwhelming prejudice and discrimination, the cleavage between white and colored Americans has become more deep-duffed and dangerous. This cleavage many Negroes skeptical of the attitude of Labor and Capitol doubtful of the pretensions of white Christian church; suspicious of the actions of the reigning political party; and chary of moves launched to increase their national and social facilities. political of American Justice Many Negroes have not only own skeptical of securing justice America, but are seeking aid elsewhere. Some, believing in the 'consensus of kind' as the basis of bringing racial equality, are advancing the union of the colored others; others, believing that the troo will never be permitted, are equally the rights and privi- ges of American citizenship, are the return of the race to America; and others, interpreting conditions of the race in terms of the race in terms of the univer- class struggle, are seeking al- gree with European Socialism. Communism. Negro intellect- ies are devoting serious study to Irish situation, the Ghandi element in India, the American- ian problems, and in short, every international problem which they think will give them some clues for raising themselves of their group in America.

Johnson's Statement In connection with the growing interest and the widespread contributions to the Legal Defense Fund to date, James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. Secretary made the following statement: "No class of persons deserve more credit for the nation-wide response to the N. A. A. C. P. appeal for sinnes of war than colored editors. Colored editors throughout the country have realized the crisis which confronted the race and have practically united in throwing their weight and influence toward helping the N. A. A. C. P. fight the battle of the race for full citizenship rights. "Editorialists have been published from one end of the country to the other and it is our great regret that it has not been possible because of space limitations in our press service to reprint all the generous things that colored editors have written and published. "Colored people of America should realize that in their own newspapers they have one of the most potent instruments for enabling them to act as a united and irresistible force. On the part of the N. A. A. C. P., I want to thank the editors who have served and are serving the race so well in this hour of crisis." A New Orientation America must approach this new orientation of Negroes in the scientific spirit and with due regard for the moral law. These newer aspects of the "Negro Problem" call for the exercises of state-manship and social engineering of the highest order. The leadership of both races will need to work out a program in industry that will assure the Negro worker economic equality; they will need to adopt a civic program that will make possible the Negro's equal participation in governmental affairs; they will need to enlarge public educational facilities especially in the South, so that the colored youth may receive adequate training for serving the race and the nation; they will need to build up religious sentiment to the point where the teachings of Christ will actually be applied to the problems of race relations; and finally, they will need to recognize that the "Negro Problem" is a national problem, and as such requires the setting up of Federal machinery to determine standards necessary to be put into operation to bring about bi-racial good will and cooperation.

More than 3000 students listened last week to two chapel addresses in the auditorium of the Pennsylvania State College by Channing H. Tobias, Senior Secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A. Mr. Tobias was the special guest of the Pennsylvania State Y. M. C. A. which organization is a warm supporter of "Y" work for colored men and boys in the South. The addresses were in the interest of better interracial understanding and co-operation among students. The speaker reminded his hearers "that co-operation across racial lines is a necessary antecedent to consistent participation in the discussion of international questions by American students." Turning to the Christian part of his audience, Mr. Tobias stated that he was a loyal supporter of foreign missions but that he was sure that it was impossible for American Christians to present a convincing message to non-Christian peoples across the sea until the test of brotherhood had been more fully met here at home. He referred to a recent conference on the World Court at Duke University in North Carolina in which colored and white students participated with unreof the determination on the part of students to be freed from the stricted fellowship as an indication handicap of race prejudice. The nearly reception given the speaker was indicated in the cheers that greeted his addresses for it is a departure from the chapel custom at State College to cheer addresses. BOSTON ELEVATED ROAD TAKES ON RACE CONDUCTORS BOSTON ELEVATED ROAD TAKES ON RACE CONDUCTORS Five Year Struggie Of National Urban League To Place Race Representatives In Street Cars Succeeds. (Special Correspondence.) Boston, Mass.—When Charles M. Moore, of 3 Webster Court, Boston, Massachusetts reported at the Reservoir Car Earn in Brookline as a "student" conductor, there was much consternation among the employees of the Boston Elevated Road. Moore's appointment follows a five years' struggle by the Boston Urban League to have colored men employed in the transit system. The fight for colored motormen and conductors was given encouragement when the State Legislature passed a law making discrimination illegal. The attitude of the Company was effected in the statement of General Manager Dana, who answered he opposition of the man as follows: "The company is not going to discriminate against any man on account of his color.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE PRIZES FOR THE BEAUTIFICATION OF PLAYGROUNDS Harmon Foundation and Nursery Companies Offer Cash And Nursery Stock to Stimulate Beautiful Mayfields. New York.—A national contest for the beautification of playgrounds is announced by the Playground Association of America. Any playground, athletic field, or other public outdoor play space conducted by non-commercial groups is eligible for the competition. As prizes in the contest the Harmon Foundation of New York City offer three awards of $500 each and thirty of $50 each to those communities whose playgrounds show the greatest progress in a beautification during the period of the competition, which ends November 1, 1926. Cities are divided in three classes—those less than 8,000, from 8,000 to 25,000 and above 25,000. In addition to the Harmon awards, nursery companies will give the winners 33 prizes of $59 each in nursery stock. Entries for the contest close December 1, 1925. Last Year's Awards Four committees of colored citizens in as many cities were awarded $2,000 each by the Harmon Foundation last year in a national competition for fifty awards for the purchase of play fields. The cities were Orange, S. C., Coffeyville, Kansas, Mobile, Alabama and Fort Worth, Texas. In Lakes Charles, Louisiana, both a white and a colored committee had entered their requests for the awards and the white committee, feeling that the needs of that section of the city represented by the colored group. The latter, while not winning a $2,000 award, is being assisted in purchasing a play field by a special loan from the Harmon Foundation. A community may enter as may playgrounds in the beautification contest as it wishes, but not more than one award will be made in each community. The Playground and Recreation Association of America will administer the awards in dalk communications should be addressed to this organization, 315 Fourth Avenue, New York City.

AND LINCOLN ST. A. E. The Passenge Ship Praise The Passengers of Ill-fated Ship Praise Colored Crew Bravery And Heroism Of Steward Contributed To Safety In Discharging Passengers Is Claimed. Survivors of the ill-fated Clyde liner Lenape which was destroyed by fire and scuttled in the Delaware breakwater Wednesday of last week, have been generous in their praise of the efficient handling of the life boats, the cool-headiness and bravery of the Negro crew in saving lives of the passengers. While a few passengers complained of disorder, the majority complained Captain Charles Devoreaux and his crew on their heroism. The generous praise given the crew of the Lenape by the ill-fated passengers is regarded by many as furnishing a part answer to the charge broadly made by many of the terror-striken passengers of the Comanche, another Clyde Line ship destroyed by fire while at sea October 17, last. Both vessels belonged to the same company. Both carried a large Negro crew, and many are those who doubt if one ship would have been so well disciplined while the other was not. All on board the Lenape were saved, except one passenger who became terrified, jumped overboard and was drowned. The tates seem to deal unkindly with Clyde line vessels at sea. On October 17, the Commander's burned off Mayport, Fla., with one life lost; January 1, 1925, the Mohawk burned off the Delaware Copes. After 15 hours struggling she was brought safely into Lewes, Del., with 207 passengers and a crew of 8; March 11, 1924, the Apache, with 200 aboard caught fire off Atlantic Highlands, N. J. She was brought in and firt put out; August 22, 1922, chief officer and three sailors were killed by explosion aboard Clyde line ship line at Mincaris, Sarta Domingo. For years the passengers and freight vessels of this line have afforded an excellent source of employment for colored steward's cooks and waiters. The Clyde Steamship Company has adhered to its policy of hiring Negro stewards ever since the company has been in existence. TARIEUSE The Tragic Lady!

And Sunday, November 15, was the seconcentary of this fertile area, which during the half century has responded so marvelously to the civilizing influence of an English Christian Missionary, Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer. The romance of modern Uganda dates back to November 15, 1875, when there appeared in the London Daily Telegraph the famous letter of Henry Stanley, in which he voiced King Mutsa's plea that missionaries and teachers be sent to this land. "Here, gentlemen, is your opportunity. Embrace it." Stanley wrote. The challenge 50 years ago the past Sunday, was immediately taken up by the Church Missionary Society, an anonymous donor who had seen Stanley's letter innue- Fri A CR Sa Ra HE simplest, most durable by one of the oldest cut tempered steel; the rays used by women for superfluous All you have to do to clip three of the Co.

C.—The nearly one million colored farmers through the country will be interstested in the statement made last week by Commissioner R. A. Cooper, of the Federal Farm Loan Board. The Washington Herald, in its issue of November 14, says: "Farm Loan Banks have all the money needed for loans, R. A. Cooper, Farm Loan Commissioner, stated yesterday. So satisfactory is the situation, it was announced, that additional legislation to provide credits will not be sought by the Administration from Congress this winter." Information will be chosen truly received by the farmers many of whom wish to kill off oil mortgage and to make such permanent improvements as will permit them to further contribute to the agricultural requirements and wealth of the nation. Some of the general purposes of the Federal Loan Bank Act, which was passed in Congress in 1916, is to lower and equalize interest rates on first-mortgage loans; to provide long term loans with the privilege of repaying in installments, through a long or short period of years, at the borrower's option; and to make it easier for the landless to get land. The loans run from 5 to 40 years, at the option of the borrower, who are at the time, or shortly, to become, engaged in the purchase, cultivation of the farm mortgaged, may borrow from the Federal land banks. The money may be used by the farmer to discharge existing in debtedness, for the purchase of land, and for the purposes specified in the law, such as the purchase of live stock, or for any kind of productive improvements, for fertilizer, for needed buildings, drainage and for proper equipment.

CHURCH BURNS ITS MORTGAGE Edenton, N. C. — The members of Presidency Baptist Church. Church closed a successful rally Sunday last in which $26.00 was raised and applied on the church's note at $728. The church is progressing well under the leadership of Rev. S. D. Morton. Rev. Morton came to this church from Washington, N. C. following an eighty-years' pastorate in that city.

In a few weeks after being he succeeded in paying off the first note, and followed with taking up a second note Monday last. In the rally which closed Sunday the highest amount raised by any club was raised by W. E. Cox's club, a total of $46.00. The next highest amount was raised by Ms. Hattle amount $34.00. On Sunday night, November 22, the The Dread of Vaccinating Delicate Children Unfounded Says Physician The Dread of Vaccinating Delicate Children Unfounded Says Physician Children Suffering With Tuberculosis, Whooping Cough Anemia and Other Ailments Successfully Treated. The efforts of school officials to comply with the State code by having every enrolled child vaccinated against smallpox meets with obstacles of various kinds, most of them indicating infested fears or even gross ignorance as to the meaning of vaccination, states the American Association for Medical Progress, Inc., New York. In some serious regions from ten to twenty per cent of the children have not yet been vaccinated; and in many cases children bring certificates from physicians say that vaccination should be omitted on account of the "Physical condition". There never has been a definite ruling as to what constitutes a cause for exemption from vaccination, but it has been tacitly assumed by many physicians that a very delicate child, or one suffering from an ague infectious disease, from asthma, or from some eruption of the skin, is better left unvaccinated, at least for the time being. Illustrations Provided --The experience of Detroit, Mich., with extensive vaccinations during the epidemic of 1924, throws some light on this problem. During seven months from April 1, to October 1, over three thousand persons were vaccinated at the Herman Kiefer Hospital$^1$ that city, without any untouched results in a single instance. Among the hospitals vaccinated were 425 injections from diphtheria; 644 of scarlet fever; 368 of tuberculosis; 52 measles; 30 mumps; 90 of syphilis; 104 of infantile paralysis; 35 of whip cough; and 21 of chicken pox. In addition there were 773 mothers lying in, and 676 new babies. Incidentally, it should be noted that while there were over 800,000 vaccinations carried on in the city during a comparatively short period, there were no serious consequences of any kind. The parents who fear or oppose vaccination for any reason whatever will no doubt be able to avail the teachings of experience and the requirements of the statute; but they will have to think up better; excuses that they have been offering for granting children exemption from vaccination. While there were 295 cases of smallpox in Virginia in the year 1924, with two deaths, the reports so far this year show 210 cases in the state up to the end of October. This slight decline in the amount of smallpox in the state is no reason, in the opinion of informed health workers, for relaxing in the use of vaccination, which is the only preventive yet known. This is especially important since the disease has been more prevalent in many parts of the country than for several years previously. ENTERTAIN IN HONOR OF VISTING PHYSICIANS Wadesboro, N.

(By Preston News Service) Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 27—North Carolina has built one to every other five Negro school houses erected in all the Southern states according to Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, secretary and director of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, of Chicago, who was in Raleigh last week to attend the Amphibian State Education Center. A professor here While in North Carolina Dr. Shepardson with Prof. S. L. Smith, of Nashville, Tennessee, general field agent for the Rosenwald Fund, visited many of the Negro schools throughout the States. Last Wednesday they visited schools in Durham county; Thursday was spent in Mecklenburg county and Friday in Union county. Tuesday they visited the Rosenwald school which is being erected in Wake county, and commenced favorably on the day that it is being erected there. It is a modern seven-teacher brick building. Of the total 3,083 Rosenwald schools which have been built in the South, 515 have been built in North Carolina. More than one-sixth of the total expenditure of thirteen million dollars has been spent in North Carolina, which indicates that North Carolina is erecting the better and larger of schools for the Northeast, the total expenditure in North Carolina is more than $2,533,000. These schools have a capacity for 60,750 children and employ 1,550 teachers. Halifax county has the second largest number of Rosenwald schools in the South, Shelby county, Tennessee, leading with a small margin. Halifax county has 39 of these schools, and several others are under construction. In discussing the Negro Educational Conference held here Monday, Prof. Smith declared that such a group of Negroes could not be gathered together in any state in the South or North Carolina, he said, but far ahead of other southern states in the number of other leaders among Negroes Bidr. Mr. Shepardson and Prof. Smith commended N. C. Newbold director of Negro education in this State, and the work he is doing here.

Deg 474 STURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1925 IZE AND WEIGHT OF EGG NO SIGN WHAT IS SEX United States Department of Agriculture Warns Poultrymen That Rooster and Pullet Cannot Be Determined... To determine the soundness of obvious ideas held by commercial poultrymen, the United States Department of Agriculture has conceived experiments leading to other conclusive results. From a tactical standpoint it is highly desirable for poultrymen to improve, possible, the hatchability of eggs, distinguish pullets from roosters in an early age, and to obtain other similar information commercially important but buffering. There has been considerable divergence of opinion of the questions. Hatchability, says the departments, probably is best improved by using breeding birds for bacillary, bite diarrhea, and eliminating roasted birds. The size of eggs has no significant effect on their hatchability. There is no significant correlation between either shape or weight egg and the size of the chicken hatched. Therefore, from practical standpoint, poultrymen expect to influence the sex of chicks hatched by selecting eggs according to either shape or size. While there is a fairly definite relation between the weight of eggs and that of the chicks hatched from them, there is no significant difference in the weight of either sex, and it is highly improbable that purebred chicks can be separated according to sex at hatching time. Male chicks grow faster than the females, and as early as two weeks of age there is a significant difference in the rate of growth between the sexes. The addition of ski milk to a ration induces much faster growth, the difference being observable as early as at the end of the second week. This points to the value of milk in growing-chick rations.

Philadelphia Negro Follows Odd Occupation of Building Pretentious Skyscrapers Frederick Massiah of Philadelphia, Pa., at the age of thirty-five is one of the largest concrete and steel engineers in the country today. His payroll averages above $5,000 each year. He is the most beautiful structures in downtown Philadelphia, Newark, N. J., and in other cities on the Atlantic seaboard testify to both his ability and the demand for his services. An Frederick Massiah is a Negro-unquestionably Born in West Indies Mr. Massiah was born almost 35 years ago on the islands of Barbados, British West Indies. His parents were only average working people with less than a average means. His early training was secured in a trade school and in company with what is known as a Master Workman in the field. This training included learning to do stonework, concrete and cement and steel construction work, mixing colors and plastering. In the West Indies all these artisans were called Masons, but young Massiah always excelled in the concrete and cement work. He developed a liking for construction; he was proud of the fact that his hands and helped build and he all he could about concrete while he was with his Master Workman. After amassing enough money to take passage to the United States, he came over and found very soon that he would have to specialize in order to make a success. He decided that concrete, construction was the thing he wanted to do despite for his life's work already began study to become a steel and concrete contractor and build- Attended School in Philadelphi Frederick Massiah reached Philadelphia about ten and one-half years ago with nothing but "a will." He knew that his first step must be an enrollment in some engineering school where he could add the practical knowledge of concrete he had obtained as a laborer, with the theories of construction which could only be obtained from books. Young Massiah knew nothing of tensile strength, expansion, stress, estimates or the like—and he had brains enough to know that in order to succeed he must know those things well. His finance课本 low but he arranged to enter the Mercantile School of Art in Philadelphia, he by dint of much sacrifice, completed a three-year course. This only proved to him that there was much about engineering he had yet to learn, so he entered Drexel School of Civil Engineering, also in Philadelphia, graduated, and was ready to begin his life's work. Early Days A Struggle In those days the competition in his line, especially in Philadelphia, was keen. And Massiah's wories had only begun when he landed a contract. There were few, but his mischief, then which he misdied about, and Mr. Massiah says that many dollars which he needed very badly those days, were delayed in reaching him, and that many a small building contract was completed with cash that had been held out on him, and sometimes even where he cites another house was bought with an install- Mrs. Maggie Harris of Armstrong avenue, who has been confined to her room for the past several weeks on account of illness is able to be about in the house again.

Services were well attended throughout the day last Sunday at Zion Baptist Church. At three o'clock in the afternoon the pastor, Rev. A. A.

At night a very good program was rendered under the direction of Mr. Robert A Supper was given at the Olympic Hall Friday night, November 20, for the benefit of the Sunday School, given by the teach- ers.

The general contractor, who was supposed to pay Mr. Massiah his share of the contract price, made $5,000 off Massiah's money in the thirty days he held it. But now all those tricks are known to Mr. Massiah and, partly due to the his own contrasts with the experience, mostly because of his experience in business, he is immune from the tricks practiced on him in former years. Employs Mixed Workmen Employees Mixed Workmen Mr. Massiah says that in his years of experience, he has never had labor troubles, despite the fact that his employees are about equally divided between black and white. He employs white foremen and colored foremen of both black workmen and white men. Color has never been a prime reason for either employing a workman or not employing him. Ability to do the task is all that Massiah demands, and he demands this one thing from both black and white. His men are always union men, most of them sent out to the job from headquarters. If the percentage of blacks isn't large enough he takes the necessary steps to make it so. Mr. Massiah enjoys accommodation with all railroads of the country; by that we mean that material ordered by him for use any- where in the country. On his trainload, is released, him on arrival at its station, without the charges. Massiah pays his freight at the headquarters of the road, at regular periods. This is a privilege enjoyed by only a few building contractors in the country. Is Youngest Member of Chamber of Commerce Mr. Massiah enjoys the distinction of being the youngest member of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the second largest Chamber in the United States. He is also on the directorate of the Mercantile School of Arts, where he formerly was a student. He has a beautiful home in Philadelphia, and owns really in almost the heart of the city. Mr. Massiah received considerable notice recently in the Philadelphia dailies for his successful construction of an elliptical dome—a rare and difficult piece of construction—on a large church there. He built the new addition to the 22-story Finance building in downtown Philadelphia, and at the time of his visit here, he had $150,000 worth of contracts being completed. He has contracts for buildings for the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition to be held in Philadelphia next year, and expects to get more. No big contract is let in Philadelphia without Mr. Massiah getting change to figure on it. Sometimes his estimate of the cost is not satisfactory and his offer is rejected, but his bids are accepted enough times each year to insure Frederick Massiah a neat income. **Is A Dreamer Who Works** Mr. Massiah can best he described as a dreamer who worked hard to make his dream come true—and is still working. He is his own assistant and no detail of work escapes his inspection. He has come this far simply because of the fact that he had a will and made a way. SMITHFIELD Smithfield, Va.—Presiding Elder M.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE MORE VIRGINIA TURKEYS GROWN DURING THE YEAR Crop 5 Per Cent Greater Than Preceding Year, Says State Crop Reporting Service Weather Favorable. The Virginia turkey crop this year is reported to be 5 per cent larger than last year, according to information compiled by the Virginia Crop Reporting Service. The 1924 production, however, was very much smaller than usual owing to the unfavorable season for growing turkeys. This year the weather conditions, were much better than the middle of the season, when a shortage of forage, especially green feed and insects, which resulted in a decline in the condition of the birds, and also some losses. Turkeys, under favorable conditions, are exceedingly difficult to raise so many farmers reported that they have practically gone out of the business as their losses have been so heavy in previous years. Turkeys are grown in new sections of the state, the principal producing areas are found in Southwest Virginia and in some of the mountain counties in the central and northern parts of the State. Hatched Earlier Hatched Barrier Turkies this year were hatched earlier and have made better grower growth. The case last year. Therefore, the size of the birds for the early market will probably be somewhat larger than last year. Turkies are grown on approximately 18 per cent of all farms in the State, and in 1920 the total number on farms as of January 1st was reported to be 160,000 which were valued at $67,000. It is difficult to give the exact value of the crop income, as estimating the farm income from turkies would be approximately $75,000 income. Virginia ranks sixth among turkey producing states in the country. The total production of turkeys for the United States is estimated to be 4 per cent less than last year. In Texas, where a considerable portion of the turkeys are grown, the crop is to be reported as 25 per cent lower than in the drought to which the turkey producing sections were subjected appears to have had a great influence in reducing the number. The early turkey crop will be considerably shorter than last year as most of the supplies come from the Southern states; but the late crop will probably be larger owing to the increased production in the western states which are large producers of turkeys for the late market.

Houston, Texas, Nov. 24. The colored school system of Houston will profit to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars from a school bond issue voted by the city some days ago. A definite program, providing for the enlargement and improvement of fifteen school and the erection of several new ones, has been worked out in detail by the school board, after a careful survey of the need. Additional grounds are to be provided in the case of five or six schools and the buildings are to be erected and fifty or sixty class rooms added to present buildings, besides a number of large additions to be used as play rooms and auditoriums. Waited on in advance of the collection by representatives of the local Interracial Committee, with the request that the colored schools be given equitable share of the bond money, the school board definitely pledged itself to carry out the work to ensure the vided bonds were voted. The bond issue, therefore, had practically the unanimous support of the colored voters. The total vote was four to one in favor of the bonds.

Richmond, Va.—Mrs. Beverly Turner, widow of the late Beverly Turner was struck and killed by an automobile at the corner of 2nd and Leigh streets, Sunday afternoon. This all too dangerous corner has become famous by its many serious accidents. It will be remembered the Rev. Scott C. Burrell, Y. M. C. A. Secretary was struck and seriously injured at this same corner a few weeks ago. News is going the round now that one of the Welfare Leagues is going to ask the authorities to place a traffic officer at this corner. "Oh! give thanks unto the Lord for he is good and His mercy endureth forever." This should not prevail only at Thanksgiving time but throughout the entire year. "We approach once more our annual Thanksgiving day. All of us will celebrate it. Some will follow one program, some another. Some will make pigs of themselves, and some will make fools of themselves. Many will get wild at football games, and some will g e t a drunk. Some will go hunting, some will go home, and some will go to jail. A few preachers and old folks will go to church," writes the editor of the Richmond Christian Advocate. We ask the question, What did you do?

First of all, he has changed the name of the church to Clay Street Baptist; he has put out in front a flash-light bulletin board, thus going a step further than any of the other churches. They all have electric boards but none have boards that flash the light on the sign as does Clay St. Church. They have its utilities wire and is surely making things hum, if these terms can be applied to a minister. He is a wonderful speaker and is drawing great crowds to the church at every service so much so that it is tamored that the church has grown too small for the congregation and they are contemplating building a new church soon.

M. C. Allen, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Franklin, delivered a, discourse Sunday on "Prayer if the Closet." He said the mightiest psychological thing an individual can do to achieve, is, to so discipline his intellect and sensibilities that his will, at will, can in company with his mind, possess the power of subconsciousness (the metapools of one's unknown powers) and get a job to invent, discover and explore the things with which God has enriched every Life. For every man is capable of infinite development along some lines. "In the closet prayer, we can call things by their names, size them up, think them through and honestly deal with weaknesses, secrets and other delicate matters that weaken one's spiritual mind with a consciousness of the Holy presence of a merciful God, who has the power to deliver us from evil. "Real earnestness in secret prayer is a business asset. It clarifies the atmosphere of one's thought climate and makes honesty the keef of his every policy and deal, which practically immunizes business from crushing reverses. Honest prayer in the closet, sweetens the home and gives a mighty force to the influence of the Christian church to resue the usefulness of men from the Hall of society." Sunday evening was "Go to School" exercises. This was a big educational night. The Franklin High, primary and normal schools were out in full. One of the most impressive educational exercises ever held in this community followed.

COMMUNITY FUND Monday night marked the closing of the Community Fund Drive which has been going forward at a lively clip for ten days. Last Sunday at the Bijou Theatre the largest mass meeting that has been held in the city for a long time was staged. The true meaning of the worth end everything pertaining to the community fund was explained. It is believed that by this meeting, attended, many subscriptions that others will could not have been will be forth-coming for many more people understand the community fund, and what it is all about. The speakers on the program included a Baptist preacher, a Methodist preacher, a Jewish Rabbi, a colored minister, and a Catholic priest. The colored workers have made a wonderful showing turning in more than ten thousands dollars. Having colored people alone to solicit from that is exceedingly well, for they were over-lapped and handicapped by white workers by whom the industrial plants was worked, in which is employed more than a third of the Negroes, whose subscriptions went in through the white workers. Leaving the Negro work among all of the Negroes in the city they would have out-stripped the white workers proportionately. BABY CONTEST CLOSES The Babv Contest in which nearly all the churches in city have held their prizes was staged in the interest of the local Branch of he N. A. A. C. P. was brought to a close with a program and appropriate ceremonies Friday night at 00 Clay street. A substantial amount of money was raised and fitting prizes were given to the babies winning from the prizes. A total prize given to the baby who won out over all the prize winners from the various churches. At last some one has seen the need of building a modern apartment that will decently house a family. With medium sized light rooms, conveniently arranged, with all modern conveniences, the new flats down on East Leigh street, are the last word in colored apartment houses. Now they say they will experience no trouble in renting these up-to-date flats. It is hored by many that buildings in the future will pattern after these flats and build houses with rooms large enough for a man to at least change his mind in.

Race Girl Risks Life Saving White Baby Race Girl Risks Life Saving White Baby (By Preston News Service) Little Rock, Aik. Nov. 25.—By giving the baby carriage a quick hard push young Miss Louisa Johnson, a nurse girl Thursday saved the life of a three-months-old baby (white) in her charge from probable death of a woman of age, of herself in car, but was struck herself and painfully injured. The quick-thinking of Miss Johnson is responsible for the life of the baby. Miss Johnson was pushing the baby carriage across the street when she saw a machine approaching at a rapid rate of speed. She gave the buggy a hard shove out of danger, and then jumped but was too late to save herself. She suffered severs cuts on the face and arm, and the child is about to be out, but her condition is not considered serious by hospital authorities. The driver of the machine did not stop his car after the accident, but H. G. Levock riding in another automobile saw the accident and gave chase. Four blocks away he escaped the driver and took him to the police station where he was turned over to the authorities and held on a wreckless driving charge. Remember, there is a limit to human endurance. The friend who stands up for you may tire in the course of time and sit down. SUFF AND SURROUNDING SUFFOLK DR. J. F.

We can't see any difference. We shoot the grave looter and we should shoot the tomb looter. Howard Carter, the American archeologist, and the Egyptian authorities have at last come upon the coffin of Tut-Ank-Amen, in the Valley of the Kings at Luxor, and found the chamber and the coffin and the mummy to be surrounded with fabulous wealth and art treasures, all of which they have removed and will divert from their original purpose. The whole proceeding appears to us sacriligious and uncanny. Many crimes have been committed in the name of science. A New Description of the Black "Brother" Elsewhere on this page is printed a poem by Mrs. Virginia Lyne Tunstall, entitled "Brother." While the lines depict in a remarkable way the tragedy of life among all backward and disadvantaged groups, they portray precisely a drama that is enacted almost daily in the South, where the blacks are the leading characters. For this unfortunate group it has been the custom to build and maintain jails, penitentiaries, death chairs, insane asylums and poorhouses, and employ policemen after the character and type of one Twiddy, whom Mr. Saunders of the Elizabeth City Independent has made famous with fitting descriptions of incompatibility with any sense of official fitness. Only within recent years has it begun to occur to the authorities that it were better to build and maintain public schools and other socializing influences to take hold of "Brother" even before he is born. It has occurred now to almost everybody that it is less of a drain upon public funds and less dangerous to public morals to build and maintain schools; public health units and good homes than it is to build jails, state prisons, death chairs, insane asylums and poorhouses. And then it has been found that "Brother" is human, and that often there flows in his veins some of the best blood of the community, even some of the precious, priceless, pure Nordic blood. The Community Fund Goes Over The Top Pledges to the colored division of the Norfolk Community Fund this year outstripped those made any year since the Fund was inaugurated in this city. This is not only a healthy indication of the seriousness with which the colored people have begun to view their obligations to charity, but is also a splendid augury of their capability to adapt themselves to the method of doing big things in a big way. that those persons who were of Mr. Jesse Secretary of the direct of Mr. Mr. ial welfare human na- cutive, put with vim and as as a good success for with his list of those who will other communities his, greatly aug- being credit of the cam- munity the majors, the workers generally, it must be said that appreciated splendidly to make the community success. The community is happy and indebted to them, especially to the loyal public-spirited men, women and young women, who hesitated in their routine ties, rolled up their sleeves and went from door to door to squirm out the pledges as energetically as if there were personal objec- tives to be gained. Certainly it is a brili- tant augury for any community when so many of its young women can be coralled in the cause of charity as were seen working for the Community Fund. The campaign went over the top by more than $2,500. That indicated that the colored people of Norfolk "do care" and are willing to prove it. Our community is safe so long as an army of its people can be recruited in the cause of charity. Editorial Page of Mixed Marriages And If You Do And If You Don't If a Catholic marry a Protestant they lay, up plenty of trouble for themselves and their posterity. We all know that. If an American marry a Frenchman a divorce may be looked for after the newness of the married relation has worn off. Most of the war brides who followed American soldier husbands to America have regretted it or returned to their homes disillusioned and disgusted. Whites of different religions or nationalities who intermarry usually have plenty of friction and smash-ups. They are mismated and that is all there is to it. When white marries black or black marries white we get the same element of mismatement and possible trouble that we get when Jew marries Gentile, with some troubles of our own other-cross-marriages do not have to contend with. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE believes that there should be one marriage and divorce law for all and that American citizens should be left free to decide for themselves whether they want to marry or not, the marriage being a personal matter which the State sanctions with a license to protect society and the children of the union and the Church sanctifies with its blessing; but we also believe that it is best for people to marry after their social standing, their race and their language and religion, if they hope for the best results in living and procreation. Take two recent examples. Leonard Kip Rhinelander, the son of one of the most aristocratic and wealthy New York families, married Alice Beatrice Jones, whose father passed for being a Negro, and was only a taxi driver and odd job man about New Rochelle. When the daily newspapers and his family got behind him young Kip allowed a divorce action to be instituted alleging that his wife had deceived him as to her race. But there was no deception on her part. The fact of her race was patent in her father and his children and in Alice. William E. Jackson of Montclair, N. J., a graduate of Columbia and a successful contractor, who had not passed for a Negro nor worried anybody about his color, fell in love with a young white girl and when he applied for license, refused to deny that his mother was of African origin, although the young woman pleaded that he disclaim the fact. A big hurrah was made over the matter in the newspapers and the families objected to the marriage, and at last accounts, although she declared that she would marry him anyhow, the marriage had not taken place. Now, here are two cases which illustrate the point we make, that it is best for people to marry after their social, race and religious kind, and not brave all of the perils of cross purposes between the two likely to develop because of differences of one kind and another and of family opposition and of hostile public opinion and, in some states, the prohibition by law of mixed marriages. But neither laws nor public opinion can fetter the affections. They find their affinities willy-nilly, however short and tragic the union of the two may be. Is it worth it? Of course not. But when did love ever reckon the cost? Never. Lilywhite Menace Withdrawn From The South Southern Republicans generally will be interested in the decision which Chairman Butler of the National Republican Committee is said to have reached, that there is to be no elimination of Negro Republicans in the South and recognition of the Lilywhite faction. The choice of the Georgia Republican State Committee of Benjamin Jefferson Davis to be their National Committeeman, in succession to the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, and that he and Perry W. Howard, National Committeeman for Mississippi, are to be left to pass upon the Federal patronage of their states, in the absence of either a Senator or Representative of the State, just as is the rule in the case of white National Committeemen, should be acceptable to all concerned, as it is the only just and sensible rule. When a majority of a State Committee have decided whom they want to represent them as National Committeeman, it should be a very grave matter which would influence the National Committee to disregard their decision. The effort has been made determinedly during and since the Administration of President Roosevelt to build up a Lilywhite Republican party in the South. In the Harding Administration the effort went so far as to deny to Henry Lincoln Johnson the prerogatives of his office, these being transferred after a fashion to a Lilywhite bunch, some of whom got tangled up with the Government for alleged fraud in lumber and other transactions. But Mr. Johnson triumphed in the end, and we are gratified that Mr. Davis and Mr. Howard are not to be bothered by any recognition of the Lilywhite pretensions to run things in their states, or in the South, as for the fact of that, the matter being left to the Republican voters of the states, where it properly belongs. Capitaliz In states like Virginia, where it is difficult to determine what and who the leaders of the party are, with two factions fronting each other on the race and color line, the proper thing should be to call a meeting of regularly elected delegates to meet and elect their State Chairman and committeemen who should in turn select their National Committeemen, and these factions should be required to meet together and not separately, the faction refusing to so meet jointly to be regarded as being irregular, of course. No Republican party can be built up in the South, and maintained, with the Negro Republicans left out. There are not enough white Republicans in any State in the South, anyhow, except Tennessee and Kentucky, to make up and maintain a purely white organization, and the effort to Lily-whiteize those states has failed, by the action of the Republicans in those states. The Democrats should be left with a monopoly of creating and maintaining a white organization in the South, and they do not need it, and are crippled Nationally for so doing, because the principle is not only wrong but utterly undemocratic, and does not appeal to the National electorate at all. We are gratified that the Lilywhite menace has been withdrawn from the South, for the life of the Coolidge Administration, at least. And it is to be noticed with interest that the President has not and is not wearing out any stub pens signing the commission of Negroes to Federal offices in the South,—or anywhere else. It appears to be a way that President Coolidge has. The Washington Conference President Coolidge was noncommittal upon the important questions discussed with him by the recent political and economic conference held in Washington, but his remarks at the time were significant. Mr. Coolidge is not given to much talking, and is very careful about committing himself upon important public questions which are the subject of controversy. It will be remembered that the President will soon be confronted with the herculean task of putting through a none too friendly congress his administration's legislative program. Considering that congress turned down everything that Mr. Coolidge wanted done two years ago, and then did the rude thing of turning down a Coolidge cabinet appointment, it was hardly to be expected that the President would promise the delegation that conferred with him anything which depended definitely upon congressional cooperation. The best thing that the conference drew out of the President was the emphatic assurance of his moral sympathy. It is becoming more apparent that very little is accomplished by Afro-Americans in throwing the weight of their vote to the Republican party in the general and congressional elections and then resting in that abiding faith that the G. O. P. will reward their allegiance with due consideration to the interests of the group. The wiser heads—and many of them voiced this opinion in the conference—are agreed that what the Afro-Americans should do is to use the ballot in the northern and western states to make the group requirements impressive where congress and the president are concerned. If the political complexion of congress could not be entirely changed by the race vote of the North and West it could be so materially altered as to be unrecognizable by the present leaders who appear to view the Afro-American electorate as an unfailing asset at election times and a negligible constituency in the interim. Melvin J. Chisum, the energetic field secretary of the National Negro Press Association, called the conference to "sound out" the press and political and economic leaders upon the general attitude of our group toward the present administration. It was Mr. Chisum's conference and he was complimented by an attendance as representative as any that ever assembled in Washington. What he learned, and what the President learned, was that while the race electorate entertains much respect for Republican principles as enunciated by the party founders, it is apparent that the present party leaders are departing from the faith, and that the race is not now, and will never again be the subservient instrument of the Republican party, or of any political party. Efforts to make it appear that there was some sinister motive behind the conference, or that it was motivated by interests friendly to the Pullman Company, which is having trouble with outsiders seeking to organize the porters, fell flat. Every suggestion of a discussion of that question was promptly stifled. Nothing of the sort emanated from Mr. Chisum. Much benefit to the race and the country will undoubtedly flow from the Washington conference. Capitalizing the Word "Negro" Drama of Southern Life Depicted by Poetess It was a custom growing out of American slavery to write the word Negro with a small "n" (negro). That custom had at least a semblance of reason in slavery days, but even that semblance has passed, as we shall explain. In some of the very old English books, and books beyond the influence of the customs of slavery, the word Negro was capitalized ages ago. Of course, the word was originally a common adjective in Spanish, derived from the word niger, Latin adjective meaning black. But the word is in its present use a noun, designating a particular race or grump. When a noun denotes the name of a particular person, group or institution it is a proper noun, and should be capitalized. To say that the word Negro should not be capitalized simply because it is derived from a common adjective which was used as a substantive to denote at first "black people," is as erroneous as to say when a man's name is Baker, Shoemaker or Smith, the name should be written in lower case letters (baker, shoemaker or smith), simply because those words in fact were derived from the common nouns, and denoted in their beginning the trade or vocation of people. Any common noun becomes a proper noun when used to denote a particular person or thing, or a particular group of persons or things—"Sirius" and "Dog Star." It is manifestly indefensible when an American newspaper puts it this way in a news column: "The inhabitants of this town are 5,000 Caucasians, 33 Mongolians, 3 Indians and 652 negroes." If the word Negro is Saturday, November 28, 1925 The Interracial Committee in Indianapolis, Ind., asked the daily papers to capitalize the word "Negro," in accord with grammar and common sense, and the newspapers, after listening to the oral statements, asked the committee to present a brief to all the papers so as to bring the matter formally to the fore. William Pickens happened to reach Indianapolis for a day or so at this time, and the interracial sub-committee, which had been appointed to get up a brief to present to editors, asked him to write a suitable one for them. a common noun it is by no means co-ordinate with "Cauca s i a n s, Mongolian and Indian." But, it might be said, we would also write "white people and Mongolians" and not capitalize "white." Yes, and that is because "white" is not exactly coordinate with "Mongolian." "White," is simply a descriptive adjective—not a racial name but an inaccurate racial description. There may be some brown "white" people and there are certainly white "Mongolians." And in the accepted meaning of "Negro" in America, there are certainly black, brown and white "Negroes." The term "Negro" is no longer "negro," meaning black, but is now a proper noun designating a group of people, a race. We do not, of course, capitalize "whites" and neither do we capitalize "blacks," nor should we capitalize "blacks," nor should we capitalize "colored." These descriptives—"white, black, colored"—are coordinates, simply descriptive adjectives—more or less ineply applied, of course. But while "white" is coordinate with "black or colored, or brown or yellow," still "white" is not coordinate with Negro. The word Caucasian is co-ordinate with the word Negro or the word Mongolian. We sometimes use other words more narrowly designatory of race: Celtic, Gallic, Slav—and we capitalize these words, as we should. The word Negro was capitalized before slavery, but it looked inconsistent for a slaveowner to advertise for sale: "six plows, 3 mules, 2 cows, 6 hales of cotton and 10 Negroes," capitalizing only the last. It looked bad to capitalize the name of a mere chattel. That was the original motive, almost instinctively expressed, behind the custom that made out Negro to be a common noun. I have no doubt that if Chinese or Arabs had been slaves in America and had been offered for sale among cattle and sheep and garden produce those words would have been written "chinese" and "arabs." To capitalize them in that association would have offended the sense. But today the word NEGRO is not only the designation of a RACE and a great particular group, but, if used as an adjective-substantive, it is not even correctly descriptive of that group as most of them in America at least are not black by any means. In the United States at least the word is a capital designation. The University of Chicago Press, The Nation and many other magazines, great dailies in some cities, and well-known publishers have ordered the capitalization of the word Negro since this matter was called to their attention.

Next to the finances, selling comes second in importance in every business organization; in fact, in a good many enterprises the sale policies are given precedent over all other policies. While it is true that many enterprises of national importance have been built up from a shoe-string by intensive selling methods, such a thing could not be successfully carried out today because the very keen competition existing in all lines of endeavor; so I am in favor of a business being so financed, that its selling organization, no matter how well it is equipped with brains, it is going to be able to walk into their territory and come back with orders by the handful. Before this can be accomplished, a period of time must be spent in intensive education, advertisement, showing prospective customers why your product is the best product of its kind for the price offered. It is not my intention in this article to deal with advertising, but to touch upon it only as it relates to sales policies. Any treatise dealing with selling must to some extent deal with advertisement, because they are so closely related until it is hard to tell where advertisement leaves off and the actual work of the salesman begins. But as an advanced guard for the selling organization the sales-manger has many mediums to reach his market through advertisements; he has recourse to the newspapers; magazines, weekly and monthly; billboards; posters; electric signs; and street car advertisements. Whichever he is governed by the size and scope of the business and the particular class of customers to be reached. Selling today, is attracting the best brains of the country, and economy in distributing the world's goods consistent with quality and service will make large fortunes in the future, just as the large mail order houses have, because of better methods, taken a a large amount of rural business from country merchants; and the chain store have to an even larger extent many independent merchants to the wall. It behaves every commercial organization to plan its sales policies with care and after care has been given in the planning then give these plans a chance before distributing them. This can only be done when there is adequate finance behind the enterprises. To a girl of 23 belongs the distinction of being the first woman notary public of the British Empire.
