The congress will be ready to announce the annual message of the resident on Tuesday, December It is forecast that it will con a paragraph with sole reference to the Negro, urging that he addressed his full rights and provided from all impositions especially the crime or lynching. A year ago the President made a recommendation, but no legislation based upon it was enacted the Congress. Several bills, never were introduced. It is why that identical bill will be introduced in this Congress. The Dyer Bill Representative L. C. Dyer, Redean, of Missouri, will introduce a bill to assure to persons within the jurisdiction of every law protection of the human life, the crime of lynching. This bill will be lynched in the Senate by a Democratic filibuster in the sixty-seventh Congress.

JURY FAILS TO AGREE IN THE SWEET CASE JURY FAILS TO AGREE IN THE SWEET CASE Darrow Demands Bail For All Defendants After Disagreement Follows Forty-six Hour Jury Wrangle. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM WILL BE CONTINUED After 46 hours of violent argument, which could be heard sometimes by persons outside the jury room, the jury in the case of Dr. Ossian H. Swetf and 10 other defendants of Detroit, disagreed. It was rumored that five jurors had stood for acquittal and seven for acquittal of eight defendants and conviction of second degree murder for three of the defendants. The jury dismissed at 1:31 p.m. on Friday, November 27 p., and shortly thereafter Mr. Darrow filed a motion for a new trial and made a second motion that all eleven defendants be admitted to bail for the trial has been agreed to. Eight of the defendants were at once admitted to bail on $5,000 each furnished by the colored citizens of Detroit, but opposition from the prosecutor in the case of the remaining three. led Judge Frank Murphy to set Wednesday, Dec. 2, for argument. Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Henry Sweet and Leonard Morris are the remaining three. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced in connection with the news of the disagreement and the motion for a new trial that it would fight the case while there was any court in the land to appeal to until the 11 colored people were acquitted. All eleven of the defendants were charged with murder in connection with the death of Leon F. Breiner, white, last September 9, when a white mound of which Breiner is alleged to have been a member, stormed the Sweet home in an attempt to force them to vacate the house which is reported to be in an exclusive white neighborhood. The defense contended that the defendants fired the volley of shots which is alleged to have been fired the day before. And further that a man's home is his castle and that he has a right to protect it. "To me this case is a cross section of history and a study of human emotions." declared Mr. Darrow. "It involves the future and the hope of some of us that the future shall be better than the past." In speaking of the 11 defendants, Mr. Darrow, said "I speak not only for them but for a race which, however you may do, will go on and on to heights never reached before. I speak for a million Negroes, who have some hope and faith remaining in the institutions of the land. I speak to you in behalf of those whose ancestors were brought here in chains. I speak in behalf of faces, in faces which have haunted this courtroom ever since this trial began. I ask you in bohalf of yourselves, our race, to see that no harm comes to them. I ask you in the name of the future to do justice in this case." Denounces Lynching Hattiesburg, Miss., Dec. 3—The North Mississippi Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Couth, in session in the city, went to the University of Oklahoma for examination of lynching and all other forms of mob violence Directs Society of Musical Art A. E. ASK SUPPORT FOR MUSICAL ART SOCIETY ASK SUPPORT FOR MUSICAL ART SOCIETY R. Nathaniel Dett Issues Open Letter To Citizens. In Be half of Hampton's Entertainment Schedule. The Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute, of which Dr. R. Nathaniel Dutt, is director, addresses an open letter to its friends in the community, in which the aims of the Society are outlined and the public support asked. The Society's letter is provoked by certain murders in regard to the management of Ogden Hall, and it reads as follows: "Because of the apparent misunderstanding of the policy of Hampton Institute in regard to the management of Ogden Hall (the school chapel and auditorium) the Musical Art Society addresses this letter to its friends in the community who admire what is noble and who realize that in arts there are not distinctions because of race, creed or color. Aims Of Society "The Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute is an outgrowth of the Hampton Choral Union, and is a self-perpetuating student organization in charge of the Director of Music who, in cooperation with the students, organized it about five years ago to stimulate greater interest in music and to guarantee the success of high class pre-eminent performers, the emphasis being on those who are closely associated with music. It was not long before the organization received official recognition and was made an integral part of the school. Value To Students "It is not necessary to rehearse the achievements of the Society, nor to call attention to the value of its operations to the students, teachers, and people of the community. We quote a front page article from the Daily Press of February 22, 1925, regarding the concert by the Dennis-Shawn dancers: "In the vast audience of probably 3,000 people from Newport, New Hampton, Fremont, Fort Rosebush, Langley, Field and Fort Eustis, which many came down from Williamsburg."

DANGER IN THE ASPIRATIONS OF RACES SEEN City Host to State Teachers Ass'n In Three-day Meeting Congressman Theo. E. Burton, of Ohio, Warns Virginians of the Problem of Relations Between Groups. LIBERAL STATE OF MIND NECESSARY Representative Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, came to Virginia, almost within a stone's throw of the section where certain elements seem to be bent on fostering agitation that might possibly strain the race relations in this State, and made a speech in which was couched a warning of the dangers of over-sensitive nationalism and racial intolerance. Representative Burton spoke before the Virginia Educational Conference in the city auditorium Friday night. He said that the creation of a rational state of mind among citizens of the world will go farther toward establishing and maintaining universal peace than treaties and world courts. After describing conditions in three sectors of Europe which are disturbing world peace, Mr. Burton sounded a warning, saying, "it may be stated that these are but parts of the much larger problem of the relations between the nations of the Caucasus race and other races, which have increasing aspirations as the years pass by. These latter derive encouragement from the destructive effects of the late war and the quarrels between the nations engaged in it. Some of the less advanced nations agitators of the less advanced nations are even spreading the saying that the time is coming when peoples, who have been practically under Caucasus domination, will assume such strength that they can 'put the Caucasus to bed.'" WANT MORE LAWS TO SEPARATE RACES WANT MORE LAWS TO SEPARATE RACES Members Of Anglo-Saxon Clubs Want Jim-Crow Statutes Extended To School Chapels. The first step toward securing legislation regulating theouting of persons in private school chapels and auditoriums in Virginia was made Friday night, November 27 when a meeting held under the musics of the Hampton (city) chapter of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs adopted the following resolutions: The Rescolutions "He it resolved by 380 citizens of Elizabeth County, Virginia, in mass meeting assembled, that we protest against the doctrines and teachings of sound equity, with its result tendency toward racial amalgamation and the indiscriminate seating of whites and blacks in public assemblages, as fostered, fashioned and founded at Hopkins mat and Agrarian institute. And be it further resolved that we record ourselves as requested our representative in the legislature of Virginia, Capt. George Alvin Massenburg, to introduce a bill at the next session of the general assembly of Virginia, prohibit Do You Know How to Prepare Virginia Hams? The Journal and Guide is in receipt of a letter from Mr. George Bates Brown, of Brown's Columbia Gorge Camp, Hood River, Oregon, asking this paper to furnish him with recipe of the Virginia way of curing hams, also particulars how to bake them. The Journal and Guide kindly solicits the aid of its thousands of Virginia housewives and hog raisers in complying with Mr. Brown's request. If there are any persons off this generation who remember the good old way of preparing the good Virginia ham, they will certainly help greatly to advertise this State if they will send the recipe to George Bates Brown, Box 378, Hood River, Oregon. Mr. Brown's letter is just another indication of how widely The Journal and Guide is read. When you print it in this newspaper, you reach them practically everywhere. ing the mixing of audiences at public assemblages." The resolutions, it will be noted, are directed at Hampton Institute, which for the past several months has been the target of certain agitation for a school-made rule for the segregation of the students of the school whenever whites attended concerts given in the school chapel. The basis of the agitation is that because the same rules which apply to segregation of railroad passenger coaches and street cars as to the separation of races are not likewise enforced by the Institute authorities in their private assembly rooms, Hampton "teaches social equality." Whites are welcomed at the student and other recitals held at the school, and while no attempt is made to openly segregate the students in the school, the arguments in the second attempt upon the part of the administrative authorities to compel white visitors to sit with colored people. The practice of voluntary grouping has always obtained at Hampton affairs, and quite successfully and pleasantly so, in order despite the prosecution that being carried out by a wilful group of disturbed of race relations. Real Motive Removal of White Faculty Keen observers of the battles employed by the little group of willful agitators are convinced that their real motive is not to interfere with the internal affairs of Hampton Institute, but to remove the white faculty and administrative officers from the school Principal Gregg's group when he ignored certain questions prouced to him by the Newport News Daily Press.

The thirty-eighth annual conference of the Negro State Teachers' Association met in the auditorium of the new Booker T. Washington High School Thursday morning, the M. Gandy, president of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, presiding. The address of welcome was delivered by Assistant Superintendent of Schools, E. S. Brinkley, of Norfolk. Mr Brinkley called attention to the rapid strides that have been made in recent years in the field of education and dwelt upon the fact that if education is to continue at the pace now being set, full and adequate preparation should be made by teachers who are making teaching their life's work. Show Interest in Education In referring to the new Booker Washington High School building, recently erected, Mr. Brinkley made it known that this magnificent gift to the colored people of Norfolk by the Noeofkiel board as shown by them in the education of their young people, and further expressed the belief that similar buildings would be erected throughout the various communities of Virginia where there was a like interest manifested and available funds at the command of the school authorities. Principal Miss B. B. Jones, of the Lott Carey School, also delivered an address of welcome to the course of her works stressed the study of child in the relation of teachers to their school work as one of the essential features in the program of education, if school work is to be successful. Principal Grasty Responds The response by Principal W. F. Grastry, of the Westmoreland High School, Dunville, stressed the value of the ideas advanced by Mr. Brinkley to tothorough and adequate preparation and arousing interest among the laity united with the study of the child as a firm basis upon which to build up and make strong the work of education and the thereby producing obligations for the State and giving to the community better-types of men and women.

HER SECRET IS OUT HER SECRET IS OUT The beautiful satiny black hair, which always seems so smooth and glossy and has so much to do with the appeal and charm of Miss Valada Snow, now appearing with the "In Eamville" Company, is due to the regular use of Pluko, the delightfully perfumed preparation, which so many thousands of our raven and women are now using to make their hair more attractive. When asked about her beautiful hair, Miss Snow said: "No, indeed. I have not always had long, straight hair. I used to have just as much trouble with my hair and scalp as any one of our group; but I don't any more. I find that by using Pluko Hair Dressing regularly my hair is always long, smooth, straight and easy to dress any way I wish."

Continuing, he discussed the "Relation of the Teacher to His Co-worker," and deplored the habit of the backbiting among teachers which he alluded to as fruitful source of pull back to the profession. In conclusion, the speaker stressed the necessity of the teacher as a model of behavior in the community, as the eyes of the pubs are continually upon the teacher. Unwavering interest by the more than 800 teachers attending the conference was manifested in Thursday night's program when W. D. Gresham, State Supervisor of Negro Education, spoke on the enrollment of colored children in rural schools. Dr. Gresham gave facts and figures showing a slight increase in enrollment of colored children during the present session over that of previous years, "yet" he declared, "it was by no means what it could be." He said the girls are taking advantage of educational opportunities because of the sacrifices the mothers were willing to make for them. Fathers, he said, seem unwilling to do as much for their boys. He deplored the scarcity of boys enrolled, and intimated the race could not produce capable leaders under prevailing conditions. Dr. John M. Gandy, gave interesting information indicating what the association had accomplished during the past year in the way of improving the grade of colored teachers throughout Virginia, and of efforts to inspire them to rise higher in the teaching profession. Dr. Gandy said the conference should outline definitely its objective in this its new field. He insisted that the convention indorse the Hi-Y movement now spreading throughout Virginia. Friday morning, Dr. Charles H. Judd, dean of the School of Education, Chicago University, addressed the conference on "Modern Methods of Teaching Reading." Dr. Judd told of the teaching system in which the A. C. was discarded in teaching reading. The speaker said that few learn to read except in school. Dr. L. K. Alderman, specializes in adult education, spoke on "Self-Education," in which he discussed the value of self-activity on the part of those securing an education. Dr. Alderman gave many practical and helpful suggestions to teachers. Harris Hatt, State Superintendent of Public instruction, was introduced by Dr. Gandy, as the next speaker. Mr. Hart dwelt upon the necessity of guarding against waste of the funds raised for the educational purposes. He told the teachers nothing was so wasteful as inadequately trained and indifferent teachers, and that waste could be eliminated by securing teachers adequately trained to render efficient service. The speaker cited data showing the cost to the State of the illiterate in the matter of learning capacity. Mr. Hart congratulated Norfolk upon the new Booker T. Washington High School and also congratulated Superintendent Mason upon the type of teachers he usually gets. "After all," Mr. Hart declared, "the fundamental thing in education is the teacher behind the desk. Education should be for the purpose of development along mental, moral and social lines. But the saddest thing is the person who thinks he is educated. For if the instruction is below par, has he learned anything? We wang that education that will give us mental tenacity, mental capacity that will develop us as thinkers." Dr. Channing H. Tobias, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, spoke on "Work Amonk Colored Boys." The speaker stressed the importance of organizing a movement to save the colored youth from con- NORFOLL & WESTERN (Ticket Office, 105 Grandy St. Dial 26679) ALL ONLY ROUTE 18TH RICHMOND Leave Terminal (Union) Station 8:15 a.m. p.—Daily CHICAGO & ST LOUIS EXPRESS, and Columbus, connectin- g Pullman to Detroit, Detroit and St. Louis.

Dr. Tobias emphasized the need of such an organization among Negro youth as would give opportunity for expression sought by organizing a Hi-Y club among the colored boys of Virginia. The closing session Friday night was marked by interesting addresses. Director of the Normal School, Miss Edna M. Colson, Virginia Normal and industrial institute, spoke on "Unsolved Problems in Negro Education." The address contained a strong plan to Negro educators to make greater efforts to solve the problem of the mentality of the colored child and to discover the kind of education best suited to his development. Facts were cited to show that environment has much to do with the development of an alert intelligence, and what is often supposed to be innate inferiority proves to be backwardness produced by lack of suitable environment. in the cities of Rich Lynchburg, was unapassed by the committee Express Grat The committee went adopting the resolution by that: "The Negro Association expends tude to the Board of F the educational authority of Norfolk for gr concession and every and every privilege to make the way sociation a success."

Woodard, Howard University, Washington, D.C., spoke on "Negro Scholarship as a Racial Asset." He said many colored men are at work today in the field of productive scholarship and their achievements in this direction have proven a great factor in moulding and changing sentiment so as to produce a more favorable attitude toward the race the world over. The speaker scored the inferiority complex from which, se said, the race seems to be suffering and told his hearers that they "must meet statistics brought forward to prove such assertions with yet more statistics, experiments, with more rigorous experiments, and interpretation with more logical interpretation if they would hope to succeed in dispelling this heresy against the race." The closing session of the executive committee was held Saturday at 10 o'clock, during which the program of action for the ensuing year's work was outlined. The committee unanimously endorsed the program of education as announced by State Superintendent Hart in his addresses before the white and colored conferences.

On Friday, Mr. Thompson, Roy's Secretary, Y. M. C. A., for Virginia, gave a lunchon to High School principals and County Training School Principals at the Strand Cate. The lunchon was in the interest of lunching the III-Y movement in High School for the purpose of conserving and directing the young manhood of the race in proper channels. Mr. Thompson in his remarks said there were 53 such organizations, in Virginia for white and only one for colored, which is located in Danville. Mr. Tobias also spoke. A resolution was passed endorsing the movement for another Normal School in Virginia for the purpose of turning out more fully equipped and capable teachers. OAKWOOD The Mt.

HUBERT Tuskegee, Ala.—Tuskegee ended her football season for 1925 on Thanksgiving Day, in "a blaze of glory," by administering a most ennusing defeat of 55 to 0 to her ancient rival Talladega. The score might have been even larger if the second, third, and fourth teams of "Tigers" had not been sent in by Coach Abbott to take their turn at the Talladega Bulldogs. It was indeed a great day for Tuskegee. Football players from both colleges played a clean game before the thousands who backed the stand, and left the field with the consciousness that they had done their best to defend the honor of their respective Alma Mater. Factors in Tuskegee's Success All impartial observers will agree that Tuskegee has had phenomenal football success. For three years her teams have met the best that our Southern Colleges could produce. In all this period only once has she suffered defeat at the hands of an opponent, and this was at one touchdown made by househouse three years ago. For two years she has not met a defeat. 1925 finds the season closed with 217 points chalked up to Tuskegee's credit and only 6 points to the credit of her rivals. Here is the record: For coaching, 0; Tuskegee 0, Morris Brown 0; Tuskegee 20, Atlanta University, 0; Tuskegee 20, Morhouse College, 6, Tuskegee, 27. State Normal, 0; Tuskegee, 14, Talladge, 0; Tuskegee, 55. Florida A. & M., 0; Tuskegee, 40. New Orleans, 0; Tuskegee, 41. Back of this phenomenal record is the hard working, versatile head coach, Cleve Abbott, with John Brown, George Goodwin, J. D. Fields, and E. L. Dabney. He has laid out the plan of attack, developing the strategy, and his lieutenants have lost control of the orders. His Abbott has labored with his men in season and out of season, and the results obtained in a large way attest to the efficiency of his efforts. Championship Honors CHAIRMAN I disputes Tuskegee's claim to championship honors in the whole South. Hardly ever before was there such a clear claim to her title. But how stands Tuskegee in the race for championship honors with her sister schools of the East-Howard Lincoln, Wil- herforce, Hampton and Union? Tuskegee did not play any of these colleges, therefore the best we can do is to make some comparisons of the same teams that played Tuskegee and some of the Eastern teams. Atlanta University was administered a crushing defeat—it he wrest in the history of the two schools for many years. The score might have been larger if Tuskegee's first team had not given away to the second team in a great part of the game. But this same team of Atlanta University held Howard to a scoreless game on Howard's own campus and on a muddy field, until the last two minutes of play, when Howard managed to get over a lone touchdown. But mind you Howard's record this year is one of the best. It has been said that her team is the most perfect machine she has had for many a year. Now, draw your own conclusion! Bricks Beats Berry O'Kelly Bricks, N. C.—The Brick Junior College football team closed its successful season by trouncing the Berry O'Kelly Bulldogs by the tune of 46-0. Brick has won 6 games and lost one this year, making her rank high in the division 1 of the N. C. A. conference. Berry O'Kelly put up a stiff game in the first quarters, holding the Brick Panthers to a 0-0 deadlock. In the next quarter the whirlwind backs were sent into the fray to start some real thrills which they did. Too much praise cannot be given. Clarence Jones and George Jones for their stalwart playing, both defensive and offensive. Clarence Jones ripped off yard after yard through tackle. While George Jones and Captain Long circled both ends in numerous gains. George Stevens broke through the line twice for touchdowns. He hit the line hard and fast and also starred for Bricks. [ Capt. Long, who is a triple man, did all that could be expected of any player. His running back punts and kicking was of first class action and full of thrills. However Walker excelled him in the passing department yet he did that well. The dashing of off tackle by Clarence Jones featured the running attack that has never been equalled since the days of Fritz Pollard. Captain Davis of Berry O'Kelly was a town boy both defensive and offensive. He intercepted a forward pass that looked like a touchdown only to be躲藏 from the rear by Smokie Walker. Owens and Phillips stood out heads and shoulders above all, in the line as right and left tackle respectively. Boston Cherry played as being up-guard for Bricks being a stone wall. PETERSBURG AND ST. PAUL ROMP TO NO SCORE Lawrenceville, Va., Nov. 26- For the second consecutive year the St. Paul and Virginia Normal annual gridiron Faces ended in a scoreless tie, and the fact that the Hilltop team outplayed the Hilltop brigade in every department of the game, when the final chapter was concluded the Petersburg eleven found itself on even terms with the Lawrenceville team. An overflow crowd of students, alumni, faculty and friends of the two schools and football enthusiasts from many sections of the country attended "The Thanksgiving Day Football Game" which was one of the finest exhibitions of football ever staged on the sacred hill of Virginia. Ideal Day Today was an ideal day for the pigskin mellee. A blue western sky was a fitting background for the glistening colors of the Hilltoppers and the Tigers. An invigorating sun shone brightly upon the mighty elevers as they fought like Trojans up and down the field for victory, which would have been the pinnacle of either team's 1925 ambition. But as thrilling as was the game, as emotional as was the occasion, and as eager as was one machine of battle to vanguish the other, fate played the leading role. Leading up to the final game its way the old oval was still in the possession of St. Paul, not as a victorious trophy, but as equipment for which she had paid the almighty dollar. Hilltopers Outplayed The game was a brilliant spectacle from every angle. The scintillating aerial, line plunging and crossbuck offensive of the Tiger featured. The Hilltopper played a sterling defensive game and thrice prevented the Tiger from imprinting his six肢ed claw beetle on his goal. As statistic show, St. Paul outplayed Virginia Normal three to one, but she did not have the play to carry the ball over after wending her way to the final chalk mark. Though her line was ripped to pieces and penetrated almost at will between the five yard lines, the Virginia Normal was provided by when St. Paul provided a few inches to make it first and ten on the visitors' two yard line and one-half yard line. Tigers Attempt To Tally Virginia Normal never threatened. St. Paul attempted a field goal in the first and fourth periods. The first had the distance and height, but went wild one yard. St. Paul advanced the ball to the 2 yard line in the third period. A play in the third period was called, but the holder for the placement kick fumbled and St. Paul lost the ball on Virginia Normal's 9 yard line. In the fourth period, by a series of forward passes and line plunges, St. Paul advanced the ball to Virginia Normal's one-half yard line, and for the second time, when a touchdown seemed inevitable, St. Paul lost the ball and was sent a second period. St. Paul made a final effort to score via field goal, but the ball fell short 5 yards. The Game's Stars St. Paul's outstanding players Byrd, Hall, Scherer, Hudson, J. Oliver, Baker, Nelson, Cappa i Boykins, Pierce and Black w j Pierce's work at tackle was marvelous and his performance today materially strengthened his bid for All-C. I. A. tackle. Byrd's 28 yard run, his interceptance of a forward pass, his consistent gains and his receiving of the oval by the aerial route were the high lights in his activities. St. Paul's diminutive quarterback, Chuck ripped off his oval and several after game. His running back of his work as a safety man and his clever generalship were sparkling. Virginia Normal's stars today were Epps, Royal, Shelton, Thompson and Slaughter. As far as inclusiveness and judgment and fight were concerned, Epps was without equal. Royal played a game of no mean ability, and although he was on the defense the greater part of the game he handled the situation calmly and effectively. Shelton Thompson and Slaughter were the hard charging forwards who thrice checked St. Paul's deathly on slaughter. THE LINEUP St. Paul—0 V & I. I.—O Nelson L. E. Brown Blackwell L. T.

College into camp by the score of 10-6. Smith received the kick to start the game, a series of plunges and one forward pass, Caviness to Steel, carried the ball to State's five yard line. The plucky State forwards rallied and held for downs. Again in the same period, Smith was turned away after getting within 8 yards of the goal. It was in the second period that Smith's first score came. Smith was using a snappy aerial attack successfully. Gordon snatched one of Caviness' long passes out of the air and crisscrossed his way 20 yards for a marker. This same team completed the good work by phasing kick-ups, kicking the upstairs into the extra point. The first half ended with Smith gaining a total of 14 first downs and of nine for a gain of 160 yards. State had not made a single attempt to rush, having relied entirely on hunting. Coach Williams started the second half with almost a new team. Plugges by Hayes, McKeithen, and Caviness brought the ball to State's three yard line, where McKeithen bucked it across for the second score. THE LINEUP Smith—19 I. E. Wilson Russell L. T.

While the Bookers were leaved a tally to the Shipbuilders very soon with their first score, which came early in The Fighting Bookers, romping true to form, unleashing an unstoppable attack immediately after the sound of the referee's whistle, trampled over the prostrate forms of the Huntingtonians to ease with two touchdowns and extra points to annex the championship of the State and of the newly formed Interstate High School Athletic Association in a hectic scramble at League Park, Wednesday of last week before a large gallery. While the Bookers were romping they released a tally to the Shipbuilders very soon after connecting with their first score, which came early in the game. Booker Washington, leader in the championship race, was bent on downing the strong eleven of Newport News to bring Norfolk its first title. Huntington was far behind in the sprint, but had been giving the good ones a merry tussle during the season and came over determined to stop Washington's Fighting Bookers. It was appalled at the scant that the visiting eleven would not be able to stand the gaff and come through to take the game from the locals. It was only a matter of time when the Bookers would score and it came about six or seven minutes after the beginning of the first period. The local aggregation received the kickoff on their 12 yard line with Williams bringing up for a distance of 8 yards. The Bookers immediately set about to make a first down and several cracks at the first line of defense of the Huntington clan brought this, but Huntington braced on the next assault and forced Washington to punt on the fourth down. Tolliver kicked to the Shipbuilders' 3 yard line. After one thrust at the line that availed Huntington nothing, she kicked to her 34 yard line. Washington, taking the ball at this point, began another assault attack. The ball was worked down to the 39 yard line and Johnson attempted to register by a placement kick, but Huntington charged in fast and hard to frustrate this and the ball was blocked. However, the Fighting Bookers recovered. On the first play, Ross hit for 3 yards and Thomas, the flash back added 15 more to this and placed the ball on Huntington's 7 yard line. The Bookers were romping now and nothing short of a cyclone, tidal wave, landslide or earthquake could hold the charging locals in check. Washington was thrown for a loss on the next play, but Johnson slips through tackle for a 3 yard gain, with Tymes following with 2 more ago on the next play, Thomas eases over for the first touchdown and Johnson added the extra point via placement kick. Huntington Hits Back Having a score chalked up against them, the Huntingtonians began to fight back hard to stop the Bookers. Caught in their territory like rats in a trap, the Bookers were forced to yield a score to the visiting clan when Johnson, attempting to pass was smeared by Curry, left end for Huntington and lost the ball. Chambers, closely following the progress of the oval pouenced upon it and raced over for Huntington's first and last tally. The Shipbuilders failed to add the extra point and the count stood, 7-6 and the first quarter was still very young. This score spurred Huntington on and she put up a plucky light to even matters and to forget ahead, but the fates were against the scrapping Shipbuilders and they never had a possible chance to score again. They were kept on the defense throughout the remainder of the fray, with Booker Washington making first downs almost at will. Huntington had her back against the wall now and could only put up a stubborn fight to keep Washington out of her territory as much as possible, but the Fighting Bookers would not be turned back. Huntington Seldom Had Ball Huntington seldom had the ball in her possession, which rendered it impossible to get a real line on the visitors' offense. Nearly every Huntington gained possession of the ball, she was far down in her territory which necessitated a punt out very early in order to play the game's a fely. However, Sedgewick proved himself a worthy back by cracking the Bookers' line several times for good gains. This hefty fullback was the main offensive power of the Huntington eleven and he plouched his way through when he was elected to carry the ball. court to carry. The game began to lag during the second and third periods with some thrills dotting these frames. The game was, by no means one-sided despite the fact the local lads had the advantage all the way. Huntington forced Washington to earn every inch gained in this fray. Thomas, Tolliver and Johnson romped true to form for the Fighting Bookers, with the former standing out above the rest in this trio for consistent ground guining. Thomas was a menace on off-tackle plays and was rarely stopped under four and five yards. Thomas possessed a puzzling gait that non-plussed his opponents and he jumped almost at will. Ross, the Bookers' other versatile, a back, played his best game of the season on the local lot. Ross playing all over his last year's form, also --- Bookers Tally proved a dangerous foe and he cracked the line and snatched passes frequently for valuable yardage. Tolliver, a triple threat man and a stellar wing, now added a good bit of momentum to the pikeman affair through his kicking and wild dashes, taking the ball, on one occasion for 25 yards on a fake kick formation. Tolliver has done this on every team in the conference and opponents have been unable to stop him until his flying feet have dashed off around 20 and 25 yards. The final score came near the end of the last half with a pass from Johnson to Tolliver, which was good for 40 yards and a touchdown. Johnson added the extra point, making a final count of 14 to 6, in favor of the local squad. THE LINEUP Bookers—14 Huntington— Williams L. E. Curry Faison L. T. Howard Diggs L. G. Riddick. Tucker C.

DeHART HUBBARD'S SPORT REVIEW BY DEHART HUBBARD World's Brond Jump Title Holder The football season is over and it closed with two big upsets. Lincoln held Howard to a scoreless tie, and West Virginia beat Wilberforce. These traditional foes can always be counted on to upset the dope when they meet. Their games well may be compared to those between Hancock-Yale, Illinois-Ohio State, California-Stanford, and other famous rivalries, when it comes to fierceness of play and determination to win that game, if no other. School of that city, has won every cross country race in which he has entered this fall. His victories have all been impressive, and his time for the different races have those of any of the older men who have them. Moore shows great promise. Besides being a star cross country runner, Moore can run an excellent mile on the track. He has covered the distance in 4 minutes 28 seconds, and is always around Rivalries of this kind, that have become traditional, and that are becoming the classics of the season, are beneficial to all concerned. Competition on a high plane develops healthy minds and bodies. It develops a fighting spirit that should be of great value in after-life. It develops fair play that should be inborn in the youth of our race. In all ways it stimulates a clean, healthy spirit among students and spectators alike. There cannot be too many traditional games like those between Howard and Lincoln. Wilberforce and West Virginia, Union and Hampton. Wilberforce has never beaten West Virginia. No matter how good a team Force has and how weak Institute is considered, Institute has a way of rising up in on great game and giving Wilberforce a cridifion trimming. The same is true of Lincoln and Howard. Lincoln can always be counted on to fight Howard to the last whistle. Many years when she is doped as "outclassed", she has come back fighting and won a brilliant triumph over her ancient foe. Likewise Hampton has the Indian sign on Union. Hampton's eleven victories to Union's four show that the scasse school was that strange power possessed by some teams to rise to one great game against her traditional foe and overcome odds to come out onion. TOO MANY SQUABBLES At least three big games this season have ended in squabbles or have been marred by arguments. The Clark-Atlanta U. game was the latest case of an untimely ending due to a disagreement. Clark was dissatisfied with the referee's decisions, and her rooters ended the game by swarming on the field of play. The Howard-Wilberforce game was marred by a questionable decision that caused general dissatisfaction. Many other games have been the scenes of violent dispute. These various cases have led to a lengthy discussion on officials. There is no doubt that many of the officials who have been used are incompetent. Some of them do not know the rules, and others knowing the rules do not administer them fairly. The success of games depends as much upon the officials as upon the players. If the referee and ampire do not do their duty the game is bound to become slow and uninteresting. No matter what arguments are advanced by the various participants in the discussion, the question resolves itself into one of getting officials who know their duty and who are not afraid to perform it fairly. A suggestion that might help solve the problem: Have all the officials appointed by the C. I. A. A., or any other governing body, and be sure they have not attended either school that is playing the game. ANOTHER OLYMPIC RUNNER? Earl Johnson, our greatest distance runner, has retired, but in New York City there is a lad who should become his successor. Gus Moore, running for Boys' High Institut aces for the year. Reading from left to hedbee, quarterback and "Bumble" HUBBARD'S REVIEW School of that city, has won every cross country race in which he has entered this fall. His victories have all been impressive, and his time for the different races have always compared favorably with those of any of the older men who have them. Moore shows great promise. Besides being a star cross country runner, Moore can run an excellent mile on the track. He has covered the distance in 4 minutes 28 seconds, and is always around 4:30. With added strength and experience this lad should become a first rank performer, able to hold his own in any company. He has three years before the next Olympic Games and if he takes care of himself has an excellent chance to represent the United States at Amsterdam. He must take care not to burn himself out. More good runners are spoiled by too much running when young than most people realize. COLOR PREJUDICE AGAIN Over in Merrie England, Len Johnson, a pupilist of dark skin, hit Roland Todd. England's middle- weight champion, with everything but the water bucket in a recent match. The referee gave Johnson the decision, and all the spectators heartily agreed. All of which means that Mr. Johnson should now be middleweight champion of Merrie England and wear the Lord Lonsdale Belt. But Mr. Johnson does not wear the belt, and from all indications, never will wear it. Prejudice has crept into the little island off Europe, and no dark-skinned gentleman can wear a Lord Lonsdale Belt. That's getting as bad as America. The only difference is that in England the champion did fight the colored man, while in this country he will not even get in the same ring with him. Jack Dempsey please note.

T WILBERFORCE FAM YELLOW JACK FOUGHT, G WILBERFORCE FALLS BEFORE YELLOW JACKETS IN A HARD FOUGHT, GRUELLING GAME Columbus, Ohio. Thanksgiving Western Classics between ginnia it is improbable that the day's brilliant crowd has so fly to heights of esthetic foothold of darkest gloom by the ebb today when West Virginia for last-minute 7 to 3 victory ove Columbus, Ohio. Thanksgiving Day—In all of the stirring Western Classics between Wilberforce and West Virginia it is improbable that the two groups of supporters in today's brilliant crowd have so frequently been lifted alternately to heights of esthetic football joy or hurled to the depths of darkest gloom by the ebb and flow of a surging game as today when West Virginia fought its way to a sensational last-minute 7 to 8 victory over the Green and Gold. For three quarters each team was favored by breaks, and scores seemed imminent, but with heartening regularity forces set to work to divert the flow of battle. Then, in one spectacular maneuver in the late minutes of the final period of today's rivalries, Wilberforce envisioned itself the conqueror of its ancient foe for the first time since 1914. It was like this: Wilberforce had worked its way down to Institute's 30 yard stripe. As they had done many times before in this hectic and moving contest, the Wilberforce rooters pleaded and exhorted their team to score. "We want a touchdown!" the words rang across the sword of Neil Park, scene of many marvelous athletic struggles, and echoed with insistent rhythm. There was a feeling that a single score would win this game for either team. To Wilberforce these points would mean more than mere victory. For eleven long years it has been an arduous march. In all these years the Yellow Jackets have stung the Bulldogs into submission or held them to a tie. The green and gold Bulldog has never, in these seven seasons, got in his death grin. Today, Wilberforce under -Coach Graves admittedly had its best chance to break the maddening abit the doughy mountaineers have of carrying out their boast—"You may tie us, but you will never beat us!" To Wilberforce there was still another reason why victory would be so satisfying. Its star fullback, "Wu Fang" Ward, had, after his very first play, been forced, out, unable to return to the game. Suffering a painful knee injury, the flashing fullback could not start with his usual speed. Several West Virginia linesmen sited through his interference to down him on Wilberforce's first offensive effort for a ten yard loss. It was necessary that he be replaced and Hallie Harding was substituted for him. Then, both teams were undefeated in the West and had fared well in their intersection scraps. The victor would be undisputed Western champion and could put in a claim for national honors, whatever that means.

There was a dramatic finesse to the execution of that place kick and a determined attention to details that was lacking a few minutes later, the lack of which probably lost Wilberforce's last chance to repel successfully the fighting West Virtuinis. West Virginia had just kicked under the shadow of its own goal posts, and it was Wilberforce's ball on its own 40 yard line. Harding shot an arrow-like pass to Torrell, substituting for Burrell, former Hampton star, and Torrell galloped 35 yards to within 25 yards of the yearned for goal. The din was teal life. In two plunges Campbell, substituted a few minutes earlier for Redding garnered eight yards. Branch, Institute's left end, smeared Harding for no gain on the next play. It was the last down. Was 'Force to fail where she had failed several times before. If so, then the prospect was for another scoreless tie as last year. But 'Force was not to fail, again, at least in scoring. After a conference, each linesman was placed carefully and the backfield arranged itself in order to keep out opponents. Campbell walked back and kneeled on the 30 yard marker. The ball was passed to him. He quickly placed and held it on the ground and Ritchie sent it on a swift and sure arching journey over the goal posts and into the stands. It would have been humanly impossible to have booted the ball harder and straighter towards its goal. Wilberforce seemed to have found its soul. Institute kicked off and Ritchie returned 20 yards to his 29 yard line. A triple cross fire lateral pass, which had gained long yardage for Wilberforce every time she used it, was good for 35 precious yards with Harding running with the ball in his wonderful style. Campbell's interfering in this play kept out the only Yellow Jacket in position to halt Harding before he had made a substantial gain. Ritchie whirled through for five. On the last down a fake play from place. kick formation failed and it was Institute's ball on its 30 yard line.

The tide turned in favor of was downed on his 35 yard line, the mountaineers. Having tasted blood, the Bulldog was not satisfied to win by three points, even with just a few minutes left. Had Wilberforce kicked and taken the defensive it is probable that Institute would never have won this game. Now that Wilberforce elected to take to the air Institute was trained what to do. All afternoon Institute had been wide-awake on the defense against passes, and had snared Wilberforce passes or broken them up. So when Wilberforce received Institute's pass on its 35 yard line and elected to pass, Institute was ready. Ritchie tossed the pass to the short side of the field. Only two were there; Campbell, 'Force end, who had sneaked into the open and H. Johnson, Institute half back. Just as Campbell was about to catch the ball Johnson raced in, stashed the pikskin out of the air, and began his run that really brought victory. (Continued on Page Seven) Suits!

C.—With Cone Park packed to its capacity with a crowd of enthusiastic spectators, approximated at 4,500, the "Hammers" of A. and T. College, of Greensboro, and the "Bears" of Shaw University, Raleigh, fought a battle that ended in a 7-7 tie that will long be remembered in the annals of football in the Old North State. This game marked the first playoff game between these two ancient rivals and it is hoped to be staged alternately each year at Greensboro and Raleigh. A. and T. and Shaw have always been noted for their bitter struggles and have warranted the praise of the most critical eye. In the past five years these teams have met twice, each the victor in one of the games played. Shaw 7 to 0 in 1921 and A. and T. 10 to 0 in 1923. The game was one abounding with thrills, occasional endings in blowouts. In 1923, the well directed forward passes, which caused the interested spectators to burst forth into hilarious yells and jumps. Special mention must be made of H. "Bus" Coleman, who without a shadow of doubt was the outstanding star of the affray. For truly, Coleman. A. and T.'s back-field ace, was the defensive giant of the game. Time after time this fleet-footed back ripped his way through the "Bears" line for the needed pass. Coleman acted as captain in place of R. W. "Bear" Wilson, who had to be taken from the game after the first rush from the initial kick-off because of injury. It was Coleman, who with a badly bleeding nose that had been cut that carried the pigskin over the coveted line to give the "Hammers" their touchdown. Jas. L. "Horse" Lane, who enjoys the distinction of being one of the most versatile and brilliant players of the A. way of his spectacular runs, but nevertheless played a stellar game both on the defensive and offensive. C. Hester, left end, and J. Streeter, right end, of the "Hammers," played a wonderful game at ends and were always down the fold on punts. C. M. Bell was a good general at quarter for A. and T. G. M. Einer, was subtitled for a "Hammers" Wilson played a commandable game at right half. The outstanding stars for the "Bears" wore: "Red" Mitchell, the heady and fleet-footed quarter-lack, whose spectacular end runs afforded the fans many thrills, "Jule" Martin who squirmed and wished his way thru the "Hammers" line for several spectacular runs, also Armstrong and Chambers who played a great defensive and offensive game. Coleman, some of their "after Mitchell had been taken from the game because of injury. He was substituted by Doles. Neither team was able to score mill the third quarter—A. and T. leung to make a first down during the entire first quarter. Shaw Scores At the beginning of the third quarter, Shaw kicked off. The ball rolled behind the goal after being touched by an A. and T. player and was recovered by Shaw, the reference keeper the same a touchdown. The extra point was added by the educated toe of V. Chambers, who footed the ball between the uprights from placement. "Hammers" Retaliate After marching down the field for six successive first downs, the result of mighty line plunges, one completed forward pass and thrilling end runs, the "Hammers" were able to advance the ball to Shaw's 9 yard line. At this point the third quarter ended with the ball on the "Bears" nine-yard line and first-down for A. and T. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, A. and T. attempted a line plunge without any gain. Shaw was then penalized half the distance to the goal for being off-side. "Bus" Coleman, who had played superb football during the third quarter, was appointed the task of carrying the pig skin over the last called line for the touchdown line. It was thru Coleman's performance that largely accounted for the Hammers being able to distance it and was he who carried it over. The extra point was ruled by J. Lane carrying the ball over on a line rush. With pile-driving blows, t he "Hammers" drove their way thru his line from their own 45 yard square to touchdown which ended From the first whistle St. Au- mining showed superior skill over the Payetteville aggregation and the visitors were beaten in own methods of attack. The score was 33-0. It is estimated that by 1926 there will be twenty million motor ve- cicles in the United States. Asks Support For Musical Art Society (Continued from Page One) son for the existence of the Musical Art Society, which has brought so many excellent attractions in the past few seasons to Hampton Institute. "And again, from the Daily Press: 'Ogden Hall never held a more representative audience from both sections of the Peninsula.' Local Support Less Certain "However, at present there seem to be those in the community who would make the support given to the Musical Art Society by local people less, certain. If these should succeed, then the Musical Art Society must plan so as to get along just the same. It is quite possible for the Society to do so. One prime issue, of course, is funds. The attraction, of course, is comparable only with those of other courses in the largest cities. The admission fees are from one-half to one third of prices for the same attraction elsewhere. "To afford opportunity to the largest number of people to support its work, the remainder of the course is offered at Three Dollars for the series. The attractions are as follows: "Recital by Marian Anderson, winner of first place auditions for soloist, Lewisohn Stadium Concerts with Philharmonic Orchestra, New York City. "Julius Bledsoe, famous baritone of New York with the Christmas concert. "Concert by Paul Whiteman (himself) and his orchestra. The most talked of musical organization in the world. "Recital by Little Symphony Orchestra. George Whitfield Andrews of Oberlin College (one of the world's medal organizers.) Joint recital, Hans Kindler, cellist, and Maurice Dumesnil, French pianist. Mr. Dumesnil is a new star in the pianist's world and is being brought to this country by the New Chickering Piano Company. He has already over eighty-five engagements in the larger musical centers. "It is obvious what is saved by buying a course ticket, but remember that the chief thing desired is your cooperation and support. It is inevitable that these should ever be hold in higher esteem than material things." "Fees may be paid at the Hampton Institute Cashier's window, or remittances by mail should be addressed to the cashier, Hampton Irving." Season tickets should be secured on or before December 5, 1925, the date of the next Musical Art attraction. Want More Laws For Separation (Continued from Page One) Clubs," wrote Dr. Gregg, assuring him that if he would accede to the demands being made upon him, he would be admitted to Hampton Institute to conform to the ideas of himself and his followers he could have in return the unanimous support of Marcus Garvey and his Universal Negro Improvement Association. Powell went to Atlanta and conferred with Garvey and the federal penitentiary there, exacting from Garvey his support of the plan. Dr. Gregg refused to be impressed by the Powell-Garvey combination, and Powell has kept up the fight on the Hampton principal, which careful observers recognize as a personal one, making several trips to Hampton and Newport News, culminating in the meeting on the 27th, when the resolutions were adopted. The State of Virginia has established ample precedent for Hampton Institute in maintaining a white principal and administrative board. The colored school schools of Richmond and Pueblo have white principals. Many state institutions, including the school for the colored blind and blind, the tuberculosisarium, the hospital for the insane, etc., have white heads, instructors, administrative officers, etc. The chief agitators at the meeting held in Hampton on the 27th admitted, and even boasted that they had never been to Hampton Institute. They had never studied conditions there at close range and did not know the authorities there personally, still they were willing to go on record as asking the general assembly to pass a law to correct a condition which does not exist there. WILBERFORCE YELLOW JACKETS WILBERFORCE YELLOW JACKETS (Continued from page 5.) It all happened so quickly that Johnson was well under way before anybody realized what had happened. Johnson intercepted the pass in his territory and raced at least 60 yards before Ritchie drove through his interference and halted his march on the three yard line. The uproar from the Yellow Jacket stands seemed to indicate a street belief that at last the fast West Virginia attack was on its way the Green and Gold. It was Lined up on Wilberforce's 3 yard line West Virginia called upon McConnell, with a smashing drive through the right flank of Wilberforce's line. Turner kicked goal and Institute, leading 7 to 3, set itself for whatever Wilberforce might unwork. after this in the little time that remained, Wilberforce get possession of the ball and vainly tried to score by the ball of the route. But twice Instiitio was set, as it was a few seconds before, and twice Instiitio intercepted Wilberforce long passes to kill any player the Green and Gold have had to achieve its first triumph over West, Virginia Instiitio. EUREKA LODGE CAMPAIGN IS BIG SUCCESS The Eureka Lodge No. 5, I. B. P. O. E. of W., lodge practiced to a close its 1000 membership campaign this week with an average of 100 members a week. The campaign was in progress for ten weeks and closed with a total of virtually 1,000 new members. At the time this report was released new members and paid up applications totaled 955, with more than enough sure prospects to reach the 1,000 mark. The drive will remain open, however, until Monday night, December 7, and applications will be received until that time at the club rates. A Hectic Campaign The campaign was a hectic affair from start to finish and in the glory of festivities in celebration of the successful ending of the drive begin to break out sporadically at the Elks Home or East Brambleton avenue as the week drew to a close and the grand goal loomed in sight. The lodge members could not conceal their glee and made no attempt to do so. Monday night, the big climax came when Eureka lodge, its friends and brother Elks of the city, vicinity and North Carolina, gathered about 400 strong at the Biltmore Ballroom. For two hours the Excelsior Band rendered a concert. Following this, Grand Excelsior Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, who came to the city for the special purpose of joining in the celebration and paying his personal congratulations to Eureka lodge upon the success of its campaign, was presented. He delivered an inspiring address after which he led the grand march. Convinced that he gave spirit among the rest of the evening. But the festivities were not to end with the ending of this unfair. Smoker Enjoyed Tuesday night at about 300 Elks gathered at the Home and enjoyed a smoker given in honor of the Grand Exalted Ruler, Grand Organizer visiting Catherine C. Cable and prominent visitor Elks. The smoker, which was practically a banquet tute in eleven years. Perhaps Wilberforce's best scoring chance was lost when, in the third quarter, Steptoe made a bad pass from center, which Terrell recovered for 'Force on Institute's 20 yard line. Campbell, Harding and Ritchie gave a total of eight passes. Wilberforce divided twelve separating Wilberforce from a touchdown, Ritchie called for a trick play that undoubtedly would have been successfully completed for a touchdown but for a bad pass from center. The West Virginians were caught off-balance, an unidentified Force player lost the ball for the pass that never came to him as he stood on the goal line. Ritchie could not pick up the low pass from center soon enough to pass it. It was Institute's ball and Turner immediately punted 60 yards and out of danger. Institute did not have as many actual scoring chances, but both teams had several occasions just as Wilberforce did when within twelve yards of victory. All through the game, supporters of both teams waited for a whirlwind to get started, but for sixty minutes the West Virginia defense refused to open up for a touchdown either time. The defense scored. No score came for the first three quarters. And then came Wilberforce's three points. And then Johnson and McConnell and Turner accounted directly and indirectly for the Institute victory. Wilberforce missed its powerplay against Harding, Willis and Ritchie gained upward of 35 yrhs on occasions, never was the offensive sustained. Wilberforce lost many yards on account of its poor interference, while West Virginia's interference was good, its defense splendid, and its courage beyond question. A touchdown breaks some its way cannot win against a team that utilizes every break as did West Virginia. The lines of both teams demonstrated some fine football with Hodges, Branch, Guitathers, and Stevens starring for West Virginia, and Slater, Terrell, Woolridge, Buchanan, and Burrell perhaps the more outstanding 'Force linesman. Ritchie was a sure ground gainer, a power on defense when playing defensive backlash. He downed the best opposing back time after time for losses. His place kick might have won the game, and his generalship was good despite the fact that he is criticised for passing when in the lead. If the man had worked he would been a wonder field general, but since it did not there are those who hint he is beautiful but dumb. He was supported well by Harding, Campbell, Williams and Redden.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Leads His Company To Victory THE NEW YORK TIMES LEWIS N. WHITE, Estéme Leading Knight of Eureka Lodge No. 5, and captain of Company A in the recent membership driven his company to win first prize in the campaign. Captain White and his lieutenants carried in nearly 300 applications. He was also general chairman of the committee on arrangements for the "Helle Bill" night, and it was largely due to his energetic work that made of that event a success. Mr. White is regarded as a hustler both for the Elks and the United States Government, insset when he is not talking or meeting Elkdom, he is assisting the Government to dispatch mail from the local post office, where he is a sub-clerk. He is right-hand man to his Exalted Ruler. A. E. R. A. BROWN, secretary of Eureka lodge No. 5, I. B. P. O. E. of W., a tireless Elk worker. For a number of years Mr. Brown has striven, without compensation, to aid in building the Eureka lodge to its present prominence in the city and retiring, he worked zealously to bring the membership campaign to a successful close. To meet Brown is to meet a 100 per cent Elk. It is his business acumen that has been a considerable aid to his exalted ruler in placing Eureka in the front ranks of Elks. and smoker, was really the affair of the week. Elk enthusiasm was at its height, and there was none present who did not feel exceedingly proud of his affiliations with the "Bills." About 300 covers were laid.

All of the speakers stressed the spirit of Elkdom and predicted for the Order a momentous part in working out a solution of the problems confronting the Negro in America. Although the occasion was planned as a social session, none of the speakers failed to lay great emphasis on the importance of the substantial things of life and in calling attention to the great responsibilities as well as opportunities for real human experience that have appealed to a great body of Negroes and women as the L. B. P. O. E. of W. And all pledged the Order to a sincere attempt at the discharge of these responsibilities and to the grasping of these opportunities. Walter Land and George W. Miller paid splendid tributes to the character and leadership of Exalted Ruler Gilliam, to which Eureka members gave vociferous applause. Dr. Mills came in for laudation for his consecrated service to Elkdom and the Grand Exalted Ruler Gilliam, to which Euhand for his efficient and progressive administration. He in turn showed congratulations on Eureka Lod. No. 5. Particularly was Exalted Ruler Gilliam prepared for having conceived and led to a successful close the gigantic membership campaign. Gilliam in turn stated that the success of the campaign was due to the cooperation and hard work of his aides. Pre-Holiday Bargains In Used Cars At The Norfolk Motor Exch.

Williams Accepting Call To Church In' Pittsburgh. The Baptist ministers of Norfolk and vicinity in a recent meeting expressed no little concern over the reported probability of Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor of Queen Street Baptist Church, accepting his recent call to the Rodman Street Church, Pittsburgh, and evidenced a strong feeling that they would seriously regret it in event Dr. Williams decided to leave Norfolk. The ministers expressed themselves regarding the matter in the following manner: "We, the Ministers Conference of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Vicinity having been recently informed thru Reverend F. W. Williams, D. D., the pastor of the Queen Street Baptist Church of Norfolk of his reprint Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, Pa. Use this method of expressing to the public our feeling in regard to the same: "We feel that, Rodmond Street Baptist Church has made a wise choice in their call of Reverend Williams as their pastor, for we consider him one of the greatest Baptist Ministers we have. For twenty-one years he has pastored in Norfolk and his labor stands as a monument to his credit. He has built one of the most magnificent edifices in the city and has built up one of the most substantial memberships in Virginia. He has not only paid for his church all their indebtedness, but has bought a church home and other valuable property from which the church receives substantial revenue in the enlargement of his Treasury. He is the President of the United Charities for the colored people of Norfolk and through him the Colored People have been given charge of all of the charity funds of the city raised by the White People for them. For a number of years he acted as a Santa Claus for the poor people of the city using the funds that he influenced his church and friends to give. He is now president of the General Association of the State of Virginia and the vice president of the Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Conference. "We have not been informed as yet whether he has decided to go or not. We, the Ministers of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Vicinity, feel that we will lose one of the most valuable assets from our ranks should he be directed by the Holy Spirit to go. We will not by any means attempt to dictate to the will of the Holy Spirit and we hope that his stay among us will not end at this time, for there is work that he can do in the ministry. As a priest he is second to none, as a minister he can equal a friend he is loved by all." "We hope and pray that if there is anything that the Queen Street Baptist Church or the ministers at large can do to keep him among us, we would like to be informed at once by him that we may be found at our post." Committee: REV. C. P. MADISON. REV. N. B. BROWN. REV. GORDAN. GRACE P. E. CHURCH On Thanksgiving Day the service at Grace Church was very impressive. The Chancel had been filled with provisions for the poor and Rev. Harris preached a sermon for the occasion. After the service a committee from the Woman's auxiliary distributed the provisions among the poor and to the two homes for the aged. Last Sunday there was a good crowd present at the morning service at which time Rev. Harris preached on the subject: "The Day Is At Hand. Rev. Harris o'clock service, Rev. Harris preached again from the 19th and 20th verses of Isaiah. Next Sunday morning the annual meeting of the congregation will be held in the Church at 8 o'clock for the purpose of electing the vestry for 1926. After the meeting the Womans Guild will serve a supper in the Parish Hall. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH At night Rev. J. R. Askew preached an eloquent sermon, subject, "Dry Bones." FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The early prayer meeting was inspiring. At the hour of preaching Rev. F. W. Jacobs arose and announced for his text Matt. 11:9. subject: "The Master Teacher." His introduction consisted of words of commendation for the State Teachers' Association which met in the city Thanksgiving, when more than nine hundred (900) colored teachers were present. He then pictured very vividly the ideal teacher. Indeed, this was a wonderful sermon full of thought. The large audience enjoyed it most thoroughly. One lady came forward and joined the church. Many returned for the evening services. Rev. Jacob spoke on the subject: "The Pilgrim and His Pilgrimage." Those who braved the weather were richly repaid. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended and their NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE respective programs were greatly appended MINISTERSC The Board of Managers of the Church home, with the Matron and Caretaker, Mr. and Mrs. McRae are very grateful to the Willing Workers Sunday School Class for making Thanksgiving Day so pleasant for the 12 aged guests in the Home. Miss Julia Dodson, one of the public school teachers, sent out a big basket of groceries for which the Board is very thankful. SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST The services at the Second Calvary Baptist Church last Sunday were the largest attended for quite a while. Notwithstanding the chilly winds the people did not regard them as a hindrance in putting in their presence at each service, both morning and evening. The prayer meeting at 6 o'clock was spiritual with a goodly number present; the Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. was largely attended and the superintendent with his officers were found at their posts on time. At 11:30 a large crowd was present to listen to the pastor from the subject, "A Good Concience." Every one enjoyed the message. After the sermon, five persons came forward and joined the church. The song service at 3:30 o'clock was spiritual. At 6:30 the B. Y. P. U. hour, the largest attendance of the year was present. The newly elected group leaders were at their posts, cation by their presence. At 7:30 the crowd was no hand to listen to the dream sermon; "Daniel in the Lilies Den." Each of the girls the court part played their parts well as did the men. It was a sermon that every one present enjoyed, not only in listening to, but to see just how it was rendered. At the close of the sermon two persons connected themselves with the church, thus closing one of the best services from every point of view that has been conducted in the above named church for some time. BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH The 25th anniversary of the pastor, Rev. N. B. Brown, D., was quite a success. Every minister on the program appeared and each message was gladly received. On Thanksgiving Day a Union Meeting was held with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, the Macedonia Christian Church and the Bethlehem Baptist Church. Rev. W. A. Price preached an excellent sermon. On last Sunday morning the Rev. D. J. Jacox preached a very interesting sermon. In the afternoon a splendid program was rendered in behalf of the missionary circle. The pastor has been out of the city. While away he visited Richmond, his old field of labor. BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH At the morning and evening services at Bank Street, Sunday, Dr. B. F. McWilliams, of Toledo, Ohio, preached two interesting sermons which kept his hearers deep interest throughout their delivery. "Redemption" was the subject of the morning discourse. Masterly in its presentation, powerful in its exposition of the meaning of the thought expressed by redemption, the entire congregation as of one accord responded to the enlightening power and influence of the comprehensive statements which it contained and the magic spell which the pulpit orator wove around his listening-hearers manifested by their rapt attention to every word uttered. In the evening the congregation was treated to another thrilling and eloquent sermon by Dr. McWilliams on the subject: "The Faithful Saying." At the close of the sermon no one present could doubt but that the faithful saying: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners," was true beyond the reach of successful contradiction. On the first Sunday, Rev. J. H. Billups, of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, will fill the pulpit at the morning service. Rev. Billups is a speaker of known ability through Tidewater, Va. In the evening Rev. David Harris, of Eastern Shore, Va., will conduct the services in which the sacred rites of Holy Communion will be celebrat- FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Berkley Ave.) Sunday A. M. marked the beginning of Rev. J. C. Diamond's anniversary of the church. The church was beautifully decorated, everything showing progress under a successful leader. The day also marked the 57th anniversary of the church. The pastor did not preach an anniversary sermon, but took his text from 2nd King 10:31, "A Divided Heart," which gave every soul strength and food on which to build during the week: In part he said that the mission of the church was to save the world with Christ its founder and if the world is not saved, it will be because our hearts are divided. The plan of God will not fail but we are not half serving God, our hearts are divided. The only way to reach heaven was with our whole hearts. The church is holding up its motto: "A soul saved at each service." The B. Y. P. U. is growing rapidly. BRICK COL. PROPERTY Two Fine Homes AT 1/2 PRICE C. E.

Ten ministers were present and a sermon was preached before the dinner was served. The people were very liberal in contributing the articles necessary to make the event a success and the band feels very grateful to all who gave. Rev. Clarke, pastor of the Monumental A. M. E.

Miss Wanzer, who is a Master Arts from the Chicago Musical College and who is now working birds her Doctorate in this line countered her experiences in this entry prior to her departure and her experience while at Fontenau, France. She related how she obtained from her former instructors in music in this country, including Percy Granger, most unqualified endorsement relative to her work as a musical artist, her extensive correspondence with the officers of the school at Fontenau and her final papers and pass incidents incident to her sailing. It was at this point that Miss Wanzer had her greatest difficulty. The committee in New York which presents the Fontenbleau Conservatory of Music in Paris and thus which one must go before being finally admitted to the conservatory of Paris explained to Miss Wanzer her futility in going there for study. She was told that she would not be treated fairly. Miss Wanzer was delayed quite some time in this interview. When finally asked again her decision in the matter, Miss Wanzer informed the Committee that she would go and see for herself. On board ship enroute Miss Wanzer met one who was familiar with the Conservatory and Miss Wanzer secured information as to the best way to reach the Conservatory. After much inconvenience she reached the Conservatory Fonteenblean, an old historic estate. Miss Wanzer was gratefully received. She was accorded the best appointments at the school, she dined at the same time both of the instructors and as soon recognized as a person no ability not only in mug but all else that makes a schol. The Guest of Honor described manner of personal instruction the different phases of her study. When the course was ended the term, out of the fifty peres who attended from this country and Europe, only seven were successful in passing and she head- this list. In one of her conversations with me interested officials of t h e school at Fontenbleau, Miss Wanzer told why it was so imperative at she attend the conservatory she not only to acquire the special thing for which she went but open the door for other people Color who perhaps if they will perserver will overcome many obstacles obtaining in this country day. Miss Wanzer has already invited to attend the school in year. She informed the officers at the Conservatory of her family with the Committee in New York and at the same time mentioned the fact that here were hers in the country perhaps who could make even a better record given the chance.

Norfolk Journal and Guide WINFALL SAYS WORLD IS SOON TO ADOPT BIRTH CONTROL Prominent Physician Says Time Has Come When Subject Must Be Discussed If Civilization Is To Be Saved Dr. James F. Cooper, medical director of the research department of the American Birth Control League, in a recent address before the Fulton County Medical Society of Georgia, declared that with the population of the United States doubling every 35 years and with the general increase of the population of the world the time has come for the people of America to prepare their minds for discussion of the question of birth control and for the physicians to study contraceptive methods. "If American civilization is to be saved, the use of some method of birth control is absolutely necessary." Dr. Cooper said. "Census statistics show that in the families of the intelligin, or biologically fit, the birth rate is approximately 2.7 or less than three children a family, while in the families of the biologically unfit the rate is three times as large per family." Increase in Morons Dr. Cooper said the increase in the number of morons and feeble-minded people in the United States is astounding. He said virtually all institutions to take care of this class of people are filled to overflowing and that there is one person in such an institution there are ten people outside who ought to be inside. "I isolation and sterilization are the two remedies which have been advanced." Dr. Cooper said. Isolation is impracticable because of the expense and because of the social questions which would be raised. Sterilization is more popular and 17 states of the Union have adopted laws providing for the sterilization of feeble-minded people and others of that class. "The intelligencia or educated classes are barely reproducing themselves, while the uneducated classes are reproducing at a rate of about three to one as compared to the educated classes," he said. Women's Altered Status The altered status of women is another reason for birth control, Dr. Cooper said. He said women are thinking for themselves both individually and collectively. He said they are entering colleges, are entering the professions and engaging in business life. These women feel that motherhood ought not to occur as a matter of chance, but ought to come at a time when the mother is prepared to bring into the world a child which will be healthy in mind and body.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Annexation Of Virgin Islands To Porto Rica Opposed The Virgin islanders are emphatically and unanimously against the proposal that the islands might be incorporated with Porto Rica for governmental purposes by action of the session of the coming Congress. The Virgin Islands were acquired by the United States from Denmark by purchase nine years ago, and the natives have often since been referred to as Ancle Sam's children. The newspaper St. Thomas Mail Notes, in large type, says "Chained to Porto Rico? St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas say never." Editorially the newspaper refers to the many contributions of the islands to the development of the United States, beginning with Alexander Hamilton, who was raised at St. Croix. Reports of the proposed annexation to Porto Rico are believed to have arisen in connection with the activities of the Virgin Islanders to have the present naval government replaced by a civil government, under which the islanders would enjoy American citizenship and a new constitution would be substituted for the old Danish laws under which the islands now live.

CELEBRATION OF NEGRO HISTORY WEEK FEBRUARY Nation-wide Observance Intended To Arouse The Public To The Importance Of Subject With World History Negro History Week will be observed the second week in February, beginning February 7, under auspices of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History of Washington, D. C., Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director. The purposes of the celebration are to popularize Negro History and to secure more support for its promotion. Dr. Woodson, himself a Negro historian of note, author of the Journal of Negro History and several other volumes dealing with the history of the race in various phases of activities, commenting on the approaching Negro History Week said: "The white people must be convinced that they cannot learn their own history unless they include that of the Negro. In fact, what we want is an unbiased history of the whole group rather than a separate and distinct story of races and creeds. That is the meaning of Negro History Week. "We must make a strenuous effort to disbuse the public mind that history is the record of the successes and disappointments of those who have contended for power. Some races may have credit for more of such questionable deeds than others, but this before an honest judge would brand them as criminals rather than unright nations. Let us teach the whole world that, according to science, there is no such thing as inferiority and superiority of races. History shows that the Negro race has accomplished as much good as any other race, although it has less conquest, exploitation and oppression to its credit. "For Negro History Week each community should organize through committees for this celebration. Every club, fraternity or lodge Rev, and Mrs. A. F. Bowe were Thanksgiving dinner guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ricks. *Mrs. Alice Epps, Mrs. Dora Brown and Mr. Wm. Gray attended the funeral of Mr. W. B.

Mrs. Bessie Bryant was mistress of ceremonies. A collection of $23.91 was raised. On Thursday night, Thanksgiving, the ladies of the church gave a great religious cantata. Proceeds were $25.00. At the Sunday night service, the pastor, Rev. A. F. Bowe, preached an educational sermon, in behalf of the Daughters of Education, Mrs. Bessie Bryant, president. *Mrs. Dissie Howell was the guest of Mrs. Erline Gray for dinner, Thursday. r Is Here—Have You Your Coal? folle— Ice Co.

SECOND SECTION Liberia Is The Smallest U. S. Debtor Nation Liberia Is The Smallest U. S. Debtor Nation Of the debtor nations to the United States the Republic of Liberia falls into the lowest class. That fact was made known by President Coolidge Thursday night of last week, while speaking over the radio from New York, read the amounts owed the United States by foreign nations. Liberia's debt was given as $26,000. It was not the fault of the Liberians, however, that their account to the United States is so pony. It would have been at least $5,026,000 had it not been for the activities of certain Southern Congressmen of unpleasant recollections. Three years ago Liberia's application for a loan of $5,000,000 was turned down flat, in spite of certain moral commitments previously made that such a loan would be available to the Black Republic. should cooperate. Each minister is earnestly requested to deliver an address on the Sunday beginning the week. All schools are urged to hold appropriate exercise some day during the week. "This will be the proper occasion for emphasizing the importance of placing in the local library of the city or school an adequate collection of valuable books presenting passionately what the Negro has thought and felt and attempted and accomplished. The local Board of Education should be appealed to for authority to introduce in the school system a course in Negro life and history. In the proper consideration of all factors in making our civilization, the youth of both races may thereby learn the lesson of brotherhood from the equality attested by science and history."

By C. N. HUNTER Greensboro, N. C., Nov.-The 45th annual session of the N. C. State Teachers' Association is great. Over two thousand teachers have registered and they are still coming in. The program for each session has been full and helpful. The association is composed of a bright, earnest, intelligent, purposeful personnel and gives promise of increased teaching ability and a general advance of Negro education in the State.

Jeffries, on the part of the city; Dr. Frank Trigg, president of Bennett College, on behalf of the schools; Rev. J. J. Scarlett, pastor of Providence Baptist Church, on behalf of the churches; and Sup. Frederick Archer of the Greensboro city schools. The response was by Dr. H. L. McCory, president of Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte. The response was interspersed with delightful musical selection by students from Bennett, Lutheran A. & T. Cottages, and pupils from the City School. All the addresses were in fine spirit and spoke the sympathetic feeling of off cooperation between the races which pervades this community. Mayor's Welcome The Mayor's greeting was particularly significant coming as it did from the chief executive of the city and voicing general sentiment. He extended a hearty welcome to ensuring the teachers of the deep interest which the principal Greensboro was infassing in the education of all the people," he said, "we spell education with a big E for the white people and a big E for the Negro people." He said that they were erecting and equipping a high class of school buildings for both races and invited the teachers to visit the Negro schools and see for themselves. He said that the was harmony and good feeling between the races here, nothing ever having to mar the please and relationship. The spacious theatre was packed and all enjoyed the program. Regular Sessions Begin Wednesday morning the work of the session began in earnest. The sessions are being held at the A. and T. College. The Rural Elementary section met in Dudley Hull nearly filling that space; auditorium. This is the largest section. Other sections met in other rooms.

A free will offering of about $60.00 was taken up for the Oxford Orphan Asylum and the Hqne for Delinquent Girls at Elfland. The Executive Council frequently brought a recommendation to the amount for the latter cause to $100.00 which was previously voted. On Friday evening Dr. J. H. Dillard delivered a most interesting and inspiring address on Africa as viewed during his trip to that continent some months ago. Facts about conditions in Africa as he related them caused a general revision of impression as to life and civilization in the Dark Continent. He was followed by Dr. Wm. Preston Few, President of Duke University, Durham, and Dr. Daniel H. Kulp II, Teachers' College Columbia University. Dr. Kulp subject was, "The Pupil As A Person." Al altogether the 1925 session of the association has proven to be one of its best. It has made history. It points the way to a tremendous awakening and the accomplishment of great goodness. Presence of fortune of a new child of a benediction, He is trusted and followed and loved by all the Negro teachers of North Carolina. He is blazing out a highway and is laying sure foundations. In the excellent series of resolutions adopted by the association expression is given to the profound gratitude of the Negroes of North Carolina to make diligent use of the opportunities now open to them that they may go forward to the broader and grander fields which are just beyond.

During his address, he interrupted by bursts of applause, the College President pointed out the possibilities of the college bred Negro. President Bluford gave reasons for belief that college training is essential in business, ministry, medicine, in fact, in all walks of life. The college executive declares that, "In studying the lives of the people who have been unusually successful in all lines of work, educational experts have found that the college men and women have contributed a number far out of proportion to their numbers. Although they constitute 1% of the population they have contributed the percentage 55% of its presidents, 47% of the members of Congress, 47% of the speakers of the House 56% of the vice presidents, 62% of the Secretaries of State, and 69% of the justices of Supreme Court." "The figures which I have just quoted do not say that a college education is guaranteed that you will become a teacher, but they do say that if you get a college education, your chances for becoming a leader will be multiplied many times. President Thwong said "Gather in 10,000 children and send none of them to college, one of them will attend a university Gather in 10,000 students and none of them will attain distinction. The question for you to decide is, whether you would like to be one of the 10,000 or one of the forty? "A list of prominent business men, including Rockefeller, Carnegie, Frick and Stanford, who were not college men themselves, regarded a college education as the best preparation for a business career. Let me urge you, because we are not college men, that you shall have graduated from high school. The kind of education which you get in the days of your youth will determine your life and the service that you will render to humanity. A square deal in adult life is not worth much unless there has been a fair chance in childhood and youth. Every grown man's chance must be preceded by an educational opportunity, and you must be able to see his show in the world becomes a mere technical privilege and not a real one, like the useless right of the average man to run in a race with a trained spinner or to box with a prize fighter."

Funds to carry on the work have been provided for building a greater dairy industry in the South. Emphasizing diversification on the average farm and more efficient methods with cows, hens and crops to feed them, covers the scope of the newly established Institute. The actual work is now in the hands of a staff of agricultural experts who are intimately familiar with farming conditions in the South and who have themselves been practical farmers. Phase of dairying and poultry raising will be over in the next few bears dollars in the farmer's pockets. Since the individual farmer cannot determine the market price himself, it is up to him to increase his profit and to lower his costs, and this is what the Institute of Animal Economics will work hand-in-glove with him to accomplish. Dairy Industry "Dairying is the logical industry of the Southern farmer," says James E. Larrove, widely known engineer and president of the large manufacturing concern whose donations made the Institute in explaining the Institute in explaining the field for its activity. "Not only are physical conditions suited for it, but an ever-increasing market is furnished in the rapidly growing population centers nearby. No other farm effort will pay him so well as efficient dairying with youth raising as a companion enterprise. The Institute will keep the farmer informed on ways to increase and hen efficiency through research and interpretation of the great work of the various agricultural colleges. It will do this in several ways. For one thing, a careful survey will be made of representative localities throughout the North to give the Institute a working knowledge of farm conditions today and what problems most relentlessly confront the farmer. An experimental farm will be operated under average farm conditions and the results of this will be made known. New methods of feeding and cating for cows and chickens, for increasing milk and egg production will be closely watched and tried out before recommendation. A bureau of interest will be established, giving personal service on any question sent in. In creating the Institute and providing largely for its maintenance, Mr. Larrowe is giving substance to what has long been a dream of his. Mr. Larrowe has a wide knowledge of both engineering and nutrition to both of which he has given a lifetime study.

Hunt is quite ill at her home in Florida avenue CORNER STONE LAYING BREAKS UP IN CONFUSION Masons And Pastor At Loggerheads Over Stone, And Former Quit, While Latter Attempts Ceremony. (Special to Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va. What was to have been a very solenm and impressive ceremony, Thanksgiving Day, which would have marked the corner-stone laying of the new 5th Street Baptist Church, in due and ancient form, broke up in confusion, without the stone having been laid in the accustomed and time-honored way, according to many who journeyed out to witness the occasion. A great thong had gathered, hundreds of whom had never seen a corner-stone laying, to view what all felt would be told the solemn services. The Masons from Capital City Lodge No. 127 and Knights Templars in full regalia were there to perform the necessary work, and came prepared to perform the duties for which they were called to perform. But the stone was never laid, at least not by the Masons. Misunderstanding Arises The first misunderstanding arose when it was discovered that there was no stone there to be laid, it is said. After some talk and seeking around it was found that the proper stone had not been prepared, but a stone that was evidently suitable to the pastor of the church, Rev. T. J. King, had already been placed in what the Masons termed the improper place. According to Masonic custom, Gee Washington, a member of the Order, informed the pastor that the stone there formerly was in the northeast corner of the building, Rev. King insisted, it is claimed, on having the stone placed in the front part of the building which fences west, saying that he got his authority from the architect and contractor who informed him that they lay corner-stones on any corner. Heated Words Pass Considerable more talk was had which added to the confusion, and provoked an exchange of heated words. It was then found that the improvised stone in which the treasure was to have been dropped was only a cement cast set in the place of the stone, possibly the same day and was too green even to support itself, it is said. According to Mr. Washington, the pastor insisted on having the ceremony performed, while the Masons were adverse to going on with what they believed to be a farce. Rev King is said to have taken a table which was being prepared as an altar for the occasion, and with the assistance of another minister, preceded to perform the rites himself. Mr. Washington, in charge of the Masons, threaupon ordered that body to retire, which they did grudgefully, washing their hands of the whole matter and matched back to the Temple, while most of the crowd left in disgust. Dr. King, when approached by the Journal and Guide representative on the subject, was non-committal, saying that he could not make a statement without condemning the other parties, which would be of no good. In his statement after the sermon Sunday morning, Dr. King claimed that the Masons handled him roughly, slightly pushing him aside. He complained that he had not a deacon of the church near him to assist him in any way. It is being openly said on the NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE SUFFOLK DR. J. F. P. JORDAN Suffolk Representative 'PHONE 316 Office: 179 Tyns Street OUR THANKSGIVING DAY It is very seldom that I have a special day on which I can be thankful all by myself. So I took it upon myself to run down to call upon the Editor of this paper, Thursday, but found that the whole family was out of town. It had been about three years since I had tried to confer this great favor upon him. Do you recall Poe's great saving? The reporter has been quite indisposed for the last weeks. He almost gave up a few days ago. But the Guide had to go, so he kept on his cane, gum boots, and his overcoat. I have not intimated to any one that I am expecting to give up the work of the Guide, but I am frequently asked if I shall. I have not even intimated the idea to the editor, nor has he to me, and I am on the job as long as he, and my health can agree. Dr. R. Henry Bland, Mr. Wm. M. Taylor, and several others wheeled their way up to see the big game at Philadelphia, Pa. They report a huge time, and have made up their minds and time to attend the next one. Mmes. Harper, V. P.

People were here from several parts of North Carolina and Virginia. Dr. Jordan read the missionary sermon, offered prayers and the Rev. Dr. John pastor, preached the lovely sermon. Interment was in the Rosemont Cemetery. In speaking of our business men heretofore, I have been very careful not to over look our merchants, and others who may not make their bread so easily. Here is Mr. C. H. Davis, in County street, who is hardly ever mentioned in a newspaper. He is one of the best and safest merchants in town. Two blocks around the corner is Mr. John Davis, another most successful merchant and gentleman. Go down on the Norfolk boulevard and stop in to see one of the best Negro merchants and farmers in the town near the new track and look and buy in Mr. Mall's store, and you will pass along and through the Nansemond Collegeiate Institute and Crockersville. If our hustling folks all through East Folkso and Rosemont continue their building spirit, we shall soon have our streets properly named and our beautiful substantial homes numbered.

Absentee Witnesses Those who inspired the present agitation to place Hampton Institute in a false light before the people of the State, and who framed and advocated the adoption of the resolutions which were broadcast by the associated press Friday night admitted, rather boasted, in the meeting that they have never visited Hampton Institute, and some them said they never would set foot up the campus.

Washington High School Team The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is not dispos to applaud athletic prowess above and beyond academic attainments of students, l when the season's record of the Booker Washington high school football team considered in relation to the scant facility and meagre funds available for athletic activities at the school, it becomes somewhat remarkable. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is not disposed to applaud athletic prowess above and beyond academic attainments of students, but when the season's record of the Booker T. Washington high school football team is considered in relation to the scant facilities and meagre funds available for athletic activities at the school, it becomes somewhat remarkable. The team made a clean sweep of its association games, and in doing so produced individual players that would be a credit to any high school eleven. Norfolk has every reason to be proud of the players, and their fellow-students can afford to applaud them with a deep sense of admiration. Both the city and school got some real good advertising out of the feats of Booker T. Washington football squad on the gridiron this year. Coach Owen Wilson has to a remarkable degree overcome the heavy odds of an apathetic public, scant funds and meagre facilities and developed a football machine which redounds greatly to his credit, especially is this true when it is remembered that the local school has no appropriation with which to pay a coach for his services. Most of the colored high schools of the State labor under a similar handicap, however, this does not detract from the brilliant record of the Booker T. Washington team. Editorial Page of Drawing The Race Line Foolishly We can all appreciate the high position taken by the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, in dealing with the protest of the Hampton branch of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs against the appearance of the glee club of the University of North Carolina at Hampton Institute, because the authorities refused to make separation of races in seating those who should attend the recital. Of those who do not like to take their chances in such seating why don't they remain away, and thus avoid unpleasantness for themselves and for others? asks the Virginian-Pilot. That is the sensible thing to do. But who expects the Anglo-Saxon Clubs to do anything sensible? The students of the white colleges of the South should take more interest in the students of the colored colleges. It would be a mutual service, and there should be no social equality nonsense mixed up with the interest and mutual service. Both races of students are preparing for service in the same communities and if they should begin to know each other better in the student days it would be all the more helpful when they begin work in their several localities. They need a common intellectual viewpoint. The easiest way to get it is by cultivating it as the students of the University of North Carolina show a disposition to cultivate it in the student days. Drawing the race line foolishly and unnecessarily is dangerous business, hurtful to all concerned. The white intellectual South needs to draw closer in sympathy and service, to the intellectual colored South. Their civil, economic interests are common.

The Rural Teacher School teaching in its true meaning ranks among the noblest of human callings, whether it be teaching the youth of the urban or rural districts. But certainly there are peculiarly difficult problems confronting the rural teacher, and with which the city teacher does not have to cope, that lend to the former an air of martyrdom. Undoubtedly, it was a realization of this fact that moved Major Allen Washington of Hampton Institute, to remark in the course of an address before the Negro State Teachers' Association Friday night: "I sympathize with the country teachers, it is they who do the hardest work of the profession."

Undoubtedly, it was a realization of this fact that moved Major Allen Washington of Hampton Institute, to remark in the course of an address before the Negro State Teachers' Association Friday night: "I sympathize with the country teachers, it is they who do the hardest work of the profession." Major Washington's remarks were timely. Our country teachers are veritable outposts of civilization. They brave long walks or rides over stretches of open country in the bleak of winter, often to spend the day teaching in dilapidated buildings. These teachers generally have to serve a class room instructor, fireside teacher and nurse. When they are cherry, patient and imbued with a real philosophy of life they carry with them in the country a revolutionizing influence. Certainly they need every encouragement. The Negro State Teachers meeting here was a very inspiring event, and one from which the teachers will undoubtedly receive much benefit. The discussions carried on in the several departmental meetings indicated that Virginia has, in the main, a high type and consecrated Negro teacher. But among the gathering there were no more heroic figures than those country teachers. Major Washington's remarks were timely. Our country teachers are veritable outposts of civilization.

Senator Blease Should Be Ashamed By a slow process of elimination, Senator James Kirkman Vardaman and John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, Benjamin F. Tillman of South Carolina, Senator Thos. E. Watson of Georgia, who had made the race issue one to harp on whenever they wanted to fire the Ephesian dome at home, and who kept the race question odiously before Congress, were called up higher "from dirty labor to reward," by their Lord, and thus had their mouths shut by death or resignation or defeat, as in the case of Mr. Vardaman and John Sharp Williams. Senator Thomas Heflin, after being promoted to the Senate from the House, ceased to harp eternally on the race string. All in all, we were beginning to feel that the Federal Congress had been cleaned out of the professional race strife breeders, and had hopes that we should have no more of them. We certainly do not need any of them. By a slow process of elimination, Senator James Kirkman Vardaman and John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, Benjamin F. Tillman of South Carolina, Senator Thos E.

In a moment of mental aberration the legislature of South Carolina elected Former Governor Coleman L. Blease to a seat in the Federal Senate. He has always shown an unreasonable craziness on the race question, but it was hoped that time and education had liberalized his head. In a symposium published in the Sunday edition of the New York World, Senator Blease wrote the following sentences of stupidity and reaction from sane and just policy: "I would pass an act forbidding any white person marrying a Negro; would segregate the races; would have separate street cars, railway trains, hotels and restaurants; giving to the Negro equal service." Is it not a calamity that a man so constituted mentally should be elected by a sovereign state to represent it in the National Congress, the highest and most imposing legislative body on earth! It certainly is. We do not think the Senate or the American public will be disposed to stand much of the race strife thunder of Senator Please, who should be ashamed of himself, as the people of South Carolina should be. BUSINESS TALKS By C. E. ARMSTRONG Transportation Every enterprise, whether it be the corner-stone merchant with annual sales of $25,000 or the gigantic U. S. Steel Corporation, with annual sales of over a billion dollars, are alike at It Pays To Be Frank J. Thomas Newsome, most estimable citizen and good lawyer, sent a letter to the Daily Press, the purport of which was to show the Newport News paper that it is grossly in error in its efforts to make it appear that something is going on at Hampton Institute which is contrary to sound public policy. Mr. Newsome's letter was couched in diplomatic terms, so tactful that it lost its definiteness upon the mind of the recipient, who promptly took advantage of the softness of Mr. Newsome's words and used them to bolster up the outrageous tirade against the school. Now Mr. Newsome regrets that he wrote the letter. He spoke of the editor of the Daily Press as being his personal friend. The former acknowledges the relationship and says "it is no presumption on the part of Thomas Newsome to say that he and the editor of the Daily Press are personal friends." We do not know how the editor of the Daily Press cultivates his friends. At the meeting in Hampton last Friday night he declared in his address that if a colored man came to his front door he would take his shotgun and run him away. We don't know how Mr. Newsome regards this expression upon the part of his friend. We do not conceive of him going to the editor's front door for social purposes, but if he wanted to see him at his home on business he would have to go around to the back door or run the risk of being shot. The editor of the Daily Press recently wrote in his paper of the friendship that existed between himself and the venerable Matt N. Lewis, editor of the Newport News Star, and called upon Mr. Lewis to witness that he was right in his inhuman assault upon one of the greatest institutions in the State, but Matt N. Lewis was not caught off his guard. He promptly, publicly and in unmistakable language repudiated the editor of the Daily Press. That is what Mr. Newsome should have done. Mr. Newsome's letter was garbled by the Newport News editor in his comment upon it. He took what suited his purposes and left off that which opposed his purposes. For instance he made much of Mr. Newsome's statement that "Hampton Normal School has made a miserable failure if it teaches social equality," but failed to emphasize the conclusion of the point he was trying to make, which in Mr. Newsome's own language was that: "The Hampton Normal School located in the Old Dominion, with its students coming from all corners of the earth, has yet to record the first attempt of any of its students to attempt to intermarry with the white race." Speaking of his personal friends among the colored race the editor of the Daily Press declares: "But there is a line which God Almighty drew but the colored friend of the editor of the Daily Press never cross it. The line is never mentioned between them for it is not necessary." Then he colored friends are far more sensible and self-controlled than those of his own kind Speaking of his personal friends among the colored race the editor of the Daily Press declares: "But there is a line which God Almighty drew but the colored friends of the editor of the Daily Press never cross it. The line is never mentioned between them for it is not necessary." Then his colored friends are far more sensible and self-controlled than those of his own kind, for someone has crossed the line, and is constantly crossing it, but it is not the colored people. His testimony in behalf of the colored people of Virginia is vastly inconsistent with his insane diatribes against an institution that has done more than any other single influence in Virginia to inculcate the very principles he admires in them. Mr. Newsome will learn that it pays to be frank. Some of our leading men have the habit of glossing over what they have to say to white folks. It is an old racial trait, handed down from slavery days, and has been the means of extracting whatever Negroes wanted in the line of sufferance from the white folks. The servile manner and attitude of the supplicant flattered the gullible and conceited whites and got what the Negro wanted. Of course it never was much, but it was the servility of the Negro rather than the merit of his request that got results. The educated white man of the new day would prefer that a Negro say what he has in his mind in a frank, upstanding manner and leave off the ballahoo. He can be sure then that the Negro is sincere, and he appreciates sincerity. Right there is where Mr. Newsome erred. He did not mean what his friend Copeland thought he meant. He ought to tell him right to his teeth what he does mean and tell him in language that he can understand. BUSINESS TALKS By C. E. ARMSTRONG Transportation Every enterprise, whether it be the corner-stone merchant, with annual sales of $25,000 or the gigantic U. S. Steel Corporation, with annual sales of over a billion dollars, are alike affected by poor transportation facilities; the only difference is the size and complexity of the thing. The problems of the small man mentioned are simple; they center mainly upon getting the proper delivery service from his wholesaler; without the proper service he is compelled to carry a much larger inventory account, which cuts down his turnover, and compels him to tie up funds in merchandise that move slowly, but he must carry because some of his customers desire them. At the other extreme, adequate transportation is of such vital importance to the steel corporation, that they cannot afford to leave it to private enterprise, but have gone in the transportation business themselves, thus insuring prompt and better service both to themselves and to their customers. Again, the problem of the small merchant would be very simple if forced to transport his own merchandise; he would have to hire or buy a truck thereby solving his own problem. All businesses after they have passed the one-man stage, are affected by poor transportation service, and have entered the business; and some retail organizations like the great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, are operating a fleet of several hundred trucks. This situation of poor transportation became very acute during the recent World War, when transportation was the crux of every order; in closing all orders, salesmen were asked not what will the merchandise cost, but how soon can it be delivered. This situation led to the placing, by merchants, and manufacturers, of large orders for future delivery, in order to protect themselves. The consequence was, that when a slump in business became evident, in the spring of 1920, manufacturers had placed millions of dollars in finished or semi-finished products, against the future delivery to their customers. On the other hand, the retailer found himself with his shelves and warehouses full of merchandise that he had bought to protect himself against poor delivery, when the public was on a buying spree; when a buyer's strike became evident, and the public sought values and bought sparingly both manufacturer and retailer slashed prices to the bone; there developed in business which at its peak became not very acute, called cancelitis; the cause of this disease was not entirely due to poor transportation facilities, but it was greatly aggravated by this, because it compelled all dealers to carry a much larger inventory than they ordinarily would have had to. It behooves the management of every new enterprise, whether it be retail or manufacturing, in choosing their business location to consider the problems of transportation both for incoming raw material, and out-going finished products. A Test For Brotherhood A Test For Brotherhood Rev, Joseph Ernest Mc Afee (white) writing in "The Christian Century" states that Bermuda Negroes have become restless, because "race relations in Bermuda are not altogether satisfactory." Bishop McAfee writes, "The very fact that the Negro majority has attained such unusually high social levels must more and more complicate a situation where the black man aspires and the white man still counts sacred the doctrine that the Negro must know and 'keep his place.' There is likely to be sharp disagreement between the two races as to what that place is. Politely and socially, the Bermuda Negro, like the black world around, is restless; he wonders whether he is getting a square deal while his large majority is represented in the local parliament at most by one, two, three or four members of his more and more self-conscious race, and while white influence, self-consciously white, otherwise dominates the political and social order. The Negroes attend upon the services of the religious establishment, when they want to, of course. But their pews are segregated. Perhaps they wish them to be so. But ostentatious white superiority in the location Saturday. December 5. 1925 Pertinent Observations on That "Eternal Negro Question" WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE We speak of a land of "freemen," a home of "brave men," and before us arises the picture of fellow-beings and fellow-citizens denied their natural and civil rights. The Negro with upraised hands, in his quality of God's creature, cries out: "I am the work of Thy hands, O Lord, my God, my only hope!" In his quality of citizen, with pathos and feeling to move a stone, he appeals to fair-minded Americans: "I am thy brother; yet an outcast in our father's home." However, the national heart, with reproachate sense, feels no stings of remorse. The eyes and ears of the vast majority of white men neither see nor hear. And on and on the tragedy goes through the years, but never reaches the climax. Would that it would, and then close the reign of inequalities! The writer asks American Christians, and Catholics especially, to consider on the one hand the cruel persecutions and on the other hand the utter helplessness of the prostrate, suppliant Negroes. The Negroes brush shoulders with us, are with us by a right as fixed as the stars, by every right, political, natural and divine. Perhaps, if sufficient thought were given to the conditions, Americans might rise to blot out the disgrace, and Catholics might be moved to lift up those souls redeemed in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ and bid them look up to Christ's Church, at all times the comforter and friend of the lowly and the down trodden. Society and the Nation have been prime offenders in their dealings with the Negroes. For more than three hundred years has the tragedy been in the making, and the denouement has not come. To call this statement into question is to brand oneself as either ignorant or deceiving; perhaps, both. the mere making of laws, the drafting of resolutions at meetings, the issuing of pamphlets, the words of touring lecturers, the recasting of our National Constitution or its amending, will not, separately or jointly, effect any hasty cure of the appalling evil which stands as our shame, shakes civilization to its very base, and tells a watchful, gazing world, that apparently humanity is out of joint in the United States. The aforesaid means are but preliminaries, and do not go to the root of the evil. They have no force beyond their meaning as words, and they are but sounding brass and tinkling cymbals whose blare pierces the atmosphere but touch not a heart. A struggle that will bring into play every power must be made. With a Nation's mind preyed upon by an angry sea of surging Editor Journal and Guide, Sir:—You will find enclosed my check for $2.00 in payment of another year's subscription to your able paper without which I feel now that I could hardly get along. Its present size enables one to get weekly "all the news that's worth reading" and the editorials are clean-cut, fearless, and will compare favorably with those of any of the larger metropolitan papers. While the Negro press, generally speaking, does not receive by far the appreciation and credit that it so justly merits, I believe the time is approaching when the public is beginning more and more to realize something of the real good that the race receives both directly and indirectly from it. With every good wish for your continued success and hoping that the support of your splen did publication is increasing in the manner which it so fully deserves.

Here is a test for a daring brotherhood under an establishment of the Christian religion in a modern democracy." Rev. J. Thomas Brady is a white Catholic priest engaged in Catholic missionary work among the colored people. Pertinent observations on "That Eternal Negro Question," appeared in the November edition of "Our Colored Missions," a publication of the Catholic Church devoted to the cause implied in its name. The discussion takes on an added significance when it is realized that at the present time Negroes entertain more liberal views concerning membership in the Catholic Church than at any time during the history of the Race. It is said that the Catholics are making significant inroads on colored Protestantism, a move in which they are considerably aided by the Ku Klux Klan and other racial intolerance agencies. prejudices, and with only puerile efforts made to remove the furious elements, the fight is lost before the arena is reached. The struggle requires planning, studying, persistent action and scheming. The forces that must be enlisted in the battle must have no parley with that subterfuge, known in slang phraseology as "Passing the buck." Neither should any shelter be given to "Let George do it." Flame-like "dare" must light the mind of these forces, and nerve their souls. Seraph-like "Do" must radiate from their tireless fram, dilate their being, and warm their bosoms, as they battle in the spiritual power of "God wills it." And ever and in all things must the words of the Psalmist be remembered: "Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." (Ps. 126-1). The first necessity in the solution of the intricate and knotty problem is a sensible and just agreement as to the starting point. This can be nothing less than that the complexity of this burning Negro Question is, by far and large, the creation of the Caucasian. The Negroes have not sought their own crucifixion. It is, therefore the duty of the whites to "get on the job," to rub their heavy eyes and to close the switches from off the main track of movement. They have been the unjust aggressors, and if any scalping is to be done, their heads must bend before the knife of Justice. The issue must be placed on a high moral plane, and to it must be summoned Justice, Charity, and Christian Liberty. No other principles will settle for aye the status of the poor colored man. History tells us that in 1620 the first ill-fated band of Negroes landed among the English colonists of Virginia in the vicinity of Jamestown. More than a passing remark might be offered to those English settlers for such crushing evidence of Editor Journal and Guide, Sir: Please find enclosed my check for $2.00, renewal subscription for 1926. Notwithstanding on Sunday night, September 27, my house was burned and I lost by fire my entire household and kitchen furniture including my library worth more than $800.00, I cannot afford to be without the JOURNAL AND GUIDE in my home, a paper that means so much to my race. I make a purely unsolicited statement when I say I think this paper should be a visitor to every home in the Negro Race. REV. L. J. ALEXANDER Poet's Corner "Efficiency Efficiency that fateful word, It rolls the world around. It peals in thunder from the skies, It rumbles under ground. Efficiency the farmer said, Twill raise me better crops. Efficiency the feeder quoth. Will fatten up my stock. Efficiency the miller feels, His flour barrels will fill. Efficiency the doctor says, Will cure most any ill. Efficiency the teacher seeks, To find in every class. Efficiency if rightly used, Will save us all at last. Efficiency the house wife has, Anglo-civilization, set up on a soil subsequently consecrated to the unrestricted enjoyment of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In hypocrisy the enslavement of the Negro had its birth. Our one-time "first cousins" and "Co operators," in the "foundir" as well as in the "establishment" of the basic principles of the future American Republic, the English, came here to escape persecution and bondage in "faerie merrie" England. In Massachusetts, the banners on the outer walls proclaimed "freedom"; but along the cool waters of the James River the breezes of Heaven were contaminated with the presence of slavery. How many in those days registered a protest, history sayeth not; but at any rate, and mark it well, slavery found a HOME its first HOME, its only HOME north of the Rio Grande, where men had come, as they said, to escape slavery. In a British paradise (?) of political freedom fellowmen were to taste of slavery's tree of death. A strange anomaly to be explained, only by hypocritical selfishness! It is time that hypocrisy and selfishness be banished. Years passed, a war was fought and won, slavery was said to have ended, but the condition of the crushed and bleeding Negro had not changed much for the better. Prejudice and persecution attended the Negro's political birth in this country of ours and tied him with the chains of another slavery, the clanking of which chains still rocks civilization and makes Christianity tremble in anxiety, pity and horror. Critics may question these statements and cite a Presidential Proclamation of Emancipation, and brandish a very handy Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This Proclamation has served a purpose, we will be told. Shall we say that it has served the one purpose, with many Americans, of filling them with an logical feeling of revenge to be visited upon the heads of the Negroes? Lincoln gave teeth to his Proclamation, and the usages of time and the forceps of the dentist, "Expediency," have extracted the annoying incisors and molars. As to the potency and the efficiency of the Constitutional amendment, we will not say more than that it sounds fine, and should be pressed into real service, or in the failure thereof, should be forgotten. The incidents of each day's life, the actions of officers of the law, the speeches of political job hunters, go far in proving that the Proclamation and the Amendment all are mere words, genuine American "scrapes of paper." And serves with every meal. Efficiency the builder seeks, In putting up his steel. Efficiency so sages say, Will win in any fight. Efficiency in guns and men, Efficiency in might. So let us have Efficiency, Get it by any plan. For we must have Efficiency, In woman, child and man. —PROF. G. W. OWENS CAMERA is a KODAK. Little or big, young or old they all want a Kodak.
