NEW ANTI-LYNCHING BILL SPONSORED IN THE SENATE NOTHING SAID BY PRESIDENT TO GIVE HOPE Believes That Race Should Be Protected By Law, But Would Not Encourage Violation of Customs. THINKS RACE NEEDS SYMPATHY, KINDNESS Washington, D. C.,—That part of President Coolidge's mes a gage to Congress which expressed his views on Negroes was considered a straddle on the race question by many Negroes of a penetrating mind, who are not partisan blind. The race concedes that Mr. Coolidge uttered some nice sounding platitudes, but failed to take a definite stand on citizenship rights of colored Americans. Principal Topics The principal topics of his message were government economy, budget, taxation, foreign relations, court of international justice, foreign debts, alien property, immigration, national defense, security, agriculture, Muscle reclamation, shipping, problem, waterway development, rainwater, the railroads, outlying possessions, retirement, mothers' aid, civil service, Federal Trade Commission, and deported. Of his message deal with the Negro is as follows: Nearly one-tenth of our population consists of the Negro race. The progress which they have made is all the last 60 years is almost beyond self. Our country has no more real citizens. But they do still need sympathy, kindness, and helpiness. They need reassurance that the requirements of the Government and society to deal out to them even-handed justice will be met. They should be protected from exploitation and supported the peacable enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. Those who evidence to them should be punished for this crime. No other measure of action is worthy of the American people. Respects Custom Respects Custom Our country has many elements in its population, many different modes of thinking and living, all of which are driving in their own way to be loyal to the high ideals worthy of the crown of American citizenship. It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek guarantee to all our inhabitants the right to live in their own lives under the production of the public law. This does not include any liaison to injure others materially, physically, morally, to take revolution, or to violate established customs which long had the sanction of impersonated society. If it does not meet the full right of equality before the law without distinction of race or color, this condition can not be applied to others, or enjoyed by others, except by the application of the principle of broadest tolerance. Bigryst is only another reason for slavery. It reduces to tuition, not only those against it is directed, but also those against it can be applied to it. An freed slave can be secured the application of the golden rule. No other utterance ever presented such a practical rule of stressed Local Government the president stressed local self government as "one of our most numerous possessions." He told the press that the functions which were to discharge "are not those local government but of national government." He said that "the police solicitude should be used to prevent any encroachment upon the rights of the states their various political sub-dimensions." The action of the railroad man and railroad employees in building boards for the mutual treatment of differences in hardship with the principles of conciliation, and arbitration, identifying and works upon the industrial life" he reported.

Mills, of Savannah. It will be a home for aged colored people and will be unique in the South. It will cost about $250,000. What Coolidge Offered Race In His Message The President knows nearly one-tenth of the country's population consists of the Negro race. He knows that the progress that this population has made in the field of civilization in the last 60 years is almost beyond belief. The President believes the race needs sympathy, kindness and helpfulness. He thinks that Negroes ought to be protected from violence, and that those who do violence to Negroes should be punished for their crimes. The president believes that an elements of the population should the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. The president would not urge the moral or physical injury of others, or violation of the established customs which have long had the sanction of society to assure all elements of the population the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. What The Race Urged Of Coolidge Outspoken attitude as to the rights of Colored American citizens to the full enjoyment of their citizenship on equality with all other citizens of the Republic, and a declaration from the President as head of the Nation to recognize that right. A square deal as American citizens without special sympathy or kindness. That the laws of the United States be enforced impartially, and that he as chief magistrate, exert his influence to secure the enactment of appropriate legislation for protection of the constitutional rights of American citizens. That race segregation in Government pursues in Washington he abolished through a presidential proclamation, feeling that such segregation is unjust and violative of the spirit and purport of equal citizenship, and should not be tolerated by this great Government, regardless of "established customs which have long and the sanction of society." other industries." He urged economy in government. Appropriations for the current year show an expenditure of nearly $30 for every inhabitant for national purposes alone. The local tax adds more. These enormous expenditures," he declared, "never to be increased, but through every possible effort they ought to be reduced." In taxation is about to be realized, he told the Congress, through the next revenue bill, which provides for the reduction of excessive surtaxes and estate tax rates, and the repeal of the gift tax. This bill should him prior to March in which event the taxpayer will be given the full benefit of tax reduction next year. The immigration law, which was one of the causes providing employment for the Negro in northern industrial centers, "is on the whole beneficial." In his conclusion the president told the congress that all their deliberations they should remember that "the purpose of legislation is to translate principles into action to have our citizens off to have our AN IMPROVED GOVERNMENT IN VIRGIN ISLANDS AN IMPROVED GOVERNMENT IN VIRGIN ISLANDS Naval Governor Trench Exhibits A Friendly And Corollary Attitude. Say Native Commissioners. New York—Distinctly improved government in the Virgin Islands under the regime of 'Naval' Governor Trench has been reported by D. Hamilton Jackson and Jean Hestress, members of the colonial councils of St. Thomas and St. Coix. Jackson, and Hestress, as members of the committee now in this country, working for an autonomous civil government for the islands, go to Washington Monday to begin the congressional campaign for the islands. Mr. Hestress has taken a brief from the islands and reports a change for the better in the attitude of the naval authorities toward the Islanders. Friendly Attitude "A distinctly friendly, even conducitive, attitude has replaced the old arbitrary conduct of government," Mr. Hestres said, "The change has been so marked that it caused general comment in the Islands; particularly coming as it does just before a vigorous effort to bring conditions in the Islands before Congress." The Virgin Islands have been without a civil government since their acquisition by the States from Denmark in 1917. No provision was made at the time for the institution of representative government and the Virgin Islanders have been without effective government under the government of the Navy Department. Previous campaigns for an autonomous government have been marked by much complaint against this arrangement and by much criticism of the alleged misconduct of judicial affairs under former governors.

THE APPELLATE COURT SUSTAINS LONG SENTENCE THE APPELLATE COURT SUSTAINS LONG SENTENCE Murderer Of Policeman Must Serve 30 Years In The Penitentiary Says District Of Columbia Court. (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., Dec. 9- Lloyd Monroe must serve a sentence of 30 years in the penitentiary for the murder of Policeman John W. Purcell. The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia last Monday affirmed his conviction in the lower court a charge of murder in the second degree in connection with the killing. Policeman Parcel was shot and killed in an alley near the Bell School street and Virginia avenue, southwest, when he and Policeman Horace R. Crawford entered to make an investigation of suspicious noises they had heard. Three Indicted Lloyd Monroe, Ernest A. Brown, William Ludley and Joseph P. Slaughter were arrested and indicted on a charge of murder in the first degree. The indictment was in ten counts. The first five counts charged that they killed Officer Purcell with deliberation and premeditated malice. The second five counts charged that they killed him while they were engaged in committing a felony by breaking into a garage for the purpose of stealing whiskey. During the first trial the government elected to abandon the last five counts. The jury was instructed to return a verdict of not guilty on the abandoned counts, which it did. The jury disagreed as to the guilt of the defendants on the first five counts. Before the second trial, counsel for Monroe pleaded a plea of former jeopardy. They contended that at acquittal on the last five counts was an acquittal on the whole charge and Monroe should be freed. Their motion was overruled and they noted an exception. At the second trial, the government offered Monroe the opportunity to plead guilty to a charge of murder, which he failed to do. He refused. He was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 30 years imprisonment. His lawyer appealed his conviction on the ground that he was tried twice for the same offense. In the opinion delivered by Justice Josiah A. Van Orsel, the Court of Appeals held that the offense charged in the first five counts of the indictment is not the same as that charged in the remaining counts of the indictment.

CALL SENT OUT TO AFRO-AMERICANS Boston, Mass. Dec. 5—"Inasmuch as the white citizens of the U. S. A. intend to honor the beginning of the nation by conducting observances of the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, adopted July 4, 1776, having been at work on the movements several months already, and inasmuch as the Colored Citizens and they alone are notoriously denied the rights upheld in that historical document, for which, besides, they opened the way at the Boston Massacre, helped make this argument, and made possible at the battle of Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill before July 4, 1776, helped make it a concrete success with 5,000 colored soldiers in the war of the Revolution and helped it with their soldiers and sailors in the second war with the Mother Country; surely the year 1920 is high time for Americans of color to join in their united strength the end of this annulment of the Declaration's principles for them and theirs." Call To Colored Citizens Upon this opening generalization the National Equal Rights League, from its national headquarters on Cornhill, Boston, next door to where Garrierson published his "Liberator," issues a call to all colored people every year to comply with the United States' severally band themselves together to start new a social racial movement to secure rights in 1926 as the sesqui-centennial year of the Declaration of Independence. The league urges the race to show the country and the world an inclusive opportunity to make intercultural demand, resist demi-nials with spirit and courage, and campaign for the protection which every other race of Americans enjoy formidably on its own moral, mental and financial resources at 150 years of an American Independence which it helped win, and 60 years after slavery was wiped out, the statistic books of the nation. Seven Months' Crusade A nation-wide beginning of this 7 months crusade is recommended for the first day of 1926 as the 150th anniversary year, by union after midnight after watch meeting mass meetings for demand of the rights of the Declaration. If feasible, every community is asked to hold such a meeting New Year's day or evening, that to organize and prepare for a steady campaign, calling upon white America not to celebrate July 4, without having ceased its violation of the Declaration with regard to the very loyal colored citizens.

Death Rate In Virginia Declined In Year 1924 The United State Department of Commerce announces the 1924 death rate for Virginia was 1,204 per 100,000 population as compared with 1,283 in 1923. This decrease in 1924 is largely accounted for by decreases in the death rate from influenza from 83 to 33 per 100,000 population, measles from 112 to 121 and diphtheria from 14 to 9. Deaths from heart disease and whooping cough showed, a slight increase. The death rate for North Carolina was slightly higher than that for Virginia, according to the announcement of the Commerce Department, it being 1,221 per 100,000 population in 1924 as compared with 1,197 in 1923. By this it is shown that North Carolina's death rate ascended in 1924 while Virginia's declined. This increase in 1924 in North Carolina is largely accounted for by increase in the death rates from diseases of the heart from 112 to 127 per 100,000 population, pneumonia from 91 to 103 and nephritis from 22 to 17.

Adler MEASURE IS INTRODUCED BY McKINLEY Illinois Senator's Bill Identical With The Dyer Bill; Action Of Senator Brings Surprise To Colleagues. FRAMED TO STAND SUPREME COURT TEST (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Dec. 10—Senator William B. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois, introduced an anti-lynching bill in the Senate Tuesday afternoon. His bill is identical with the one introduced by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, in the House shortly after it convened Monday afternoon. The bill provides that any state officer, who calls to make an appropriate effort to arrest a prisoner in his charge from any victim in his impeachment any person, shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years, or a fine not exceeding $5,000, or both fine and imprisonment. Provisions Amended At Sheriffs The bill also makes it a felony for any state or municipal officer to conspire with any person to injure or kill or suffer a prisoner to be taken from his custody. Those who conspire with him likewise shall be guilty of a felony. Upon conviction the persons so conspiring shall be punished by imprisonment for life or not less than five years. The district court of the judicial district in which a person is injured or put to death by a molligated jurisdiction to try and punish those who participate in appears that the persons fall refuse to apprehend and punish them when the jurors obtainable for service in the state courts are so strongly opposed to such punishment that there is no reasonable probability that those guilty of the offense can be punished in the state courts. $10,000 Forfeit Any county in which a person is put to death by mob violence shall forfeit $10,000 to the family of the victim. If he has no family, then the money shall go to his dependents parents, if any; otherwise to the use of the United States. In the event that any person put to death by mob violence shall have been transported from one county into another during the time intervening between the time intervening between the two counties shall be jointly and severally liable. Will it also make any act committed in violation of the rights of a citizen or subject of a foreign country a crime against the peace and dignity of the United States, punishable in like manner as in the state courts. Defines Mob Three or more persons acting in concert, without authority of law, for the purpose of depriving any person of his life or doing him physical injury, is defined in the act as a "mob or riotous assemblage." The bill is designed to assure persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crimes of lynching. It included in the bill that if any section or provision of the act shall be held by any court to be invalid, the balance of the act shall not for that reason be held invalid. Archdeacon James S.

He also said that we get out of a service what we expect, and what we put into it. "If a man does not have a heart to worship God, he gets nothing out of the service. The church is the only resilient part of which we may look for the future. It is the church insisting the cross and brings the son of man to God." The. B. Y. P. U. is one of the most interesting auxiliaries of the church—it is growing by great numbers. The program Sunday was one of the best.

UNUSUAL PICTURE BILLED FOR THE PALACE THEATRE "Are You Fit To Marry, the most unusual photodramma ever produced, comes to the Palace theatre, Monday Dec. 21 for 4 days only. The story, written by the well known Jack Lait, offers something entirely new in motion pictures. Filled with tears and laughter, its dynamic story of real life pulls at the heart strings and brings home to all who see it a full knowledge of the grave dangers threatening every man and woman, and did it all with a did it all of movie stars made the film and from a standpoint of production it is far above the average It offers a unique combination of thrills, sensation, entertainment men eration are so plainly and truthfully handled, that we realize such things exist in our own neighborhood. The veil of secrecy that has omitted this 'Delicate Subject' from general discussion has been mercilessly torn away and the hideous truth of our Social life is prescriptive and a useful way to practically nothing is, left to the imagination. As an extra added attraction, the well known James Lawrence Brooke, S. S., noted writer and lecturer will give a most interesting talk telling just what he found in his nation-wide investigation, and he will offer in proof of his startling statements his sensational exhibit of actual cases which he secured from the world's largest institutions. This exhibit has created wide spread interest. While the film has been arranged in much refined manner, owing to the interesting object with which it deals and the delicate scenes, it will be shown strictly to separate audiences, and no children will be admitted unless accompanied by parents. Women only will be admitted Monday and Tuesday. Men only will be admitted Wednesday and Thursday. JACK SCHOLTZ IS CONSIDERED THE FASTEST HUMAN Jackson Scholtz, former trackman of the University of Missouri and present-day speed demon, is now considered the world's fastest human. Scholtz is now a member of the New York A. C. and the record committee of the Amateur Athletic Union, at the completion of its annual convention placed the spinner and Olympic 2,000 meter champion, above Charley Paddock Dan Kelley, Howard Deward, Coril Coaffee and several other fast men. This committee accepted the mark made by Scholtz, while in competition at Greenbush on May 15, 2005, the distance in 9:5-10. It is believed that the acceptance of the record will be met with disfavor, especially in the West where the Paddock worshippers will find it hard to believe that their hero has been cast aside. The mark was made first by Arthur Duffy in 1904, but was not recognized after Duffy was outlawed by the A. A. U. Dan Kelley came around in 1906 to do the time. Howard Drew succeeded in hitting "nine-three" in 1914. Paddock has equaled the mark five times. The Manhattan CLEANERS A.N.D DYERS requires all work. Work Called for and Delivered. 552 E.

De Mille, in commenting on the casting of "The Ten Commandments," a Paramount Picture coming to the Attucks Theatre Monday, said: "Each part had to be given careful consideration. Over 3,000 players were used in the Egyptian sequences and each had to conform to certain specifications. When it was announced that casting was about to start our offices were flooded with people. There must have been at least five applicants for each job. "A man with the strength, physique and good looks of an Apollo was needed for the role of Pharaoh. Those who have seen the picture know that Charles de Roche did full justice to the part. "The heroic figure of Moses was played by Theodore Roberts in a manner that no one can ever hope to equal. He was my first, last and only choice for the role and I could not rest content until Roberts had assured he he would take the part. "Pharaoh's wife is played by Julia Faye. The costumes of ancient Egyptian royalty were different from those of today. In order to do the full justice a woman combined pulletrushie into acting was needed. Miss Faye filled the part perfectly. "In the picture Miriam is shown as the priestess of the Golden Calf. Beautiful, young, enticing—it could have been written for none other than Estelle Taylor." "Aaron, priest of Israel, was a role for which forty well-known actors were interviewed before one was chosen. A fine old actor in the person of James Neill was entrusted with this important part." "Terrence Moore was pick from famed actors, juniors to play Pharaho's son. The boy was the tyre I was after. Egypt's first born wa a proud and cruel, and Terry passed all tests with flying colors." "Among the three thousand extras could be found beautiful women, handsome youths, crying babies, and old patriarchs. Eight hundred calvary men were loaned us by the government to drive the Egyptian chariots in the wild ride the men, and dancers trained by Kosloff appeared in the Colorful Golden Calf sequence." "Added to all these players, one must not forget the nine hundred horses, one thousand cattle and hundreds of other animals used in the Biblical scenes. We weren't able to pick them up in the dessert. Men had travel hundreds of miles and acts had to travel hundreds of miles and act as traveling animal casting agencies in order to casting agencies in order to collect." "Yes sir, casting was not the least of our worries in making 'The Ten Commandments.'"

DIAI 34374 420 CUMBERLAND ST. UNION HI SQUAD TAKES TILT FROM BORDENTOWN,7-2 Hampton, Va.—Before a large crowd on Armstrong Field yesterday afternoon the Union High School defeated the Bordentown Training School, of New Jersey, to the tuns of 7 to 2 in one of prettiest football games seen here in some time. Filled with long end runs, spectacular forward passes, and good clean football the contest kept the roots and crowd in a high pitch of excitement throughout the entire time. Although outweighed the Union boys displayed greater knowledge of the gridiron game and more ability than their opponents and won their game with straight foot ball Bordentown won the toss and elected to defend the south goal. The Bordentown team brought the ball back on the kick-off about 10 yards and from that time on were hardly able to make any gains through the line and the ball went to Union on the 50-yard, line. After making the required ten yards for first down the Union boys seemed to come to life and on the next play Diggs quarterback for Union, ran around the end for 35 yards placing the ball within 5 yards of the goal. On the next play Roberton took the ball over for the Union counter and Diggs Kicked the goal. Union again kicked to Bordentown and the ball was brought back to the 50-yard line. From this stage of the game Bordentown started to use their forward pass to much advantage, passing 30 yards, but on the next play they were thrown for a 15-yard loss. Still playing their passing game Bordentown made up for the loss and carried the ball to the Union 20-yard line. Union intercepted the next pass and the quarter ended. After running the ball back for 30-yards around end Diggs for Union fumbled and Bordentown recovered. After both teams had failed to make a first down and resorted to punting the half ended with the score 7 to 0 in favor of Union. Starting the third quarter with the same tactics as in the previous sessions the ball worked up and down the field with neither team gaining any advantage. Late in the quarter Bordentown hit the ball down to the union 5-yard line on the pass and pass and kick. The Union boys put up a stiff defense at this stage and held Bordentown for downs. Diggs attempted to run the ball out of the danger zone but failed to gain and on the next play the punter was tackled behind the Union goal scoring the two points for Bordentown. The largest thrill of the last quarter came near the close when Hope for Union sent in as a substitute back intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards. Union failed to make the distance and the ball went over. Bordentown again attempted the passing game and after completing a beautiful 30 yard pass last half the gain by a penalty made by a substitute by talking before the first play. Unable to make up the lost distance the ball went to Union. The game ended just as Union punted back to Bordentown. It would be hard to pick a star from the Bordentown team as each played hard and fast football against a team that was in possession of the game. Union also played as a unit and with the exception of Cook on the end, who made several good tackle, throwing Bordentown for heavy losses and Diggs, at quarter who is an exceptionally good general, there were no outstanding stars.

O are referred to as such, but this is just force of hab no Big Three, fellows, so don't fool yourself. Who are the big three in football and where did they get that name? Howard, Lincoln and Wilberforce are listed as the Big Three. For what, why and how come. This non-de-plume just came to daylight with the fast fading of the 1925 football season. Somebody, or sombodies seem to have their dope; all wrong when it comes to naming three squads as the outstanding among the multitude of eleven all over the country. Why, man the Big Three means something. It means that any three schools listed as the Big Three, are schools that roign supreme in the football world; have teams that sweep all opposition before them, thus making the question of who the Big Three and Wilberforce have booked in the beezer too often to come up this year and be justly called the Big Three. There are too many other schools that have something to say about that. What about Hampton and Tuskegee. Hampton has held the title in the mid-South more times than any other school in the same section. Tuskegee has gone through three seasons in the far South with only a single defeat, and has only been scored upon once in the same length of time. And they have met real contenders too. Laugh that off. The time has come now, that no one, two or three squads can hold a monopoly in the football industry. Some of the smaller schools that have been in the background since their beginning, are coming to the fore and playing with a great deal of power. They are knocking the big ones silly quite frequently. The game is becoming too widespread and, too many good eleven are being turned out for anyone to hope to maintain any national superiority for more than a breathing spell. Yale, Harvard and Princeton dominated the football world for a long, long time, defeating every team they ran across, and were hailed as football's Big Three. It's different now and these schools have bitten the dust more than one time, and some small schools accomplished the feat too, schools whose student bodies were no larger than the faculties of these princes of the gridiron game, consequently, Yale, Harvard and Princeton as the Big Three now, are a joke. Of course, they are referred to as such, but this is just force of habit that's all. There is no Big Three, fellows, so don't fool yourselves.

A fan writes in to say about Norfolk and basketball. "It is a regrettable fact that a city of such promising possibilities should remain so far in the rear of the other cities which have been wide awake enough to grasp opportunities" and I'll add, especially when there's always an incessant squawk about why we don't have this and why we don't have that like other towns. He also said in conclusion, "Baltimore has her Athenians and Scholastics, Philadelphia her Panthers, Pittsburgh her Loendi, Atlantic city her "Y" and Flashes, New York her Renaissance and two or three others. Where is Norfolk?" She's just in the rut and too blooming hazy to try and pull out. Norfolk is very slow in showing appreciation for anything. Other than that, there's a certain amount of indulence and indifference. Norfolk wants, but puts forth very little effort to get. There is no plausible excuse why Norfolk is not among those who are leading in the athletic realm. Of course, there may not be facilities, but how can there be facilities for things that are not on a footing? FRATERNITIES AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL It is altogether reasonable to believe that college fraternities came about as a direct desire of students of the various American colleges to have an organization comprised of the students for social and more or less serious purposes, of course, preserving the secrets and rites of the number of fraternities and their allied chapters, but it seems that the organizations with the funny little Greek names are doing more harm than good in some places, in other words it is reported that they are raising havee in some of the larger colleges and universities, by causing a good bit of deviation from the college spirit and are creating a good bit of partisan feeling that has no place in the working system of any supposedly democratic institution. According to an article by Louis R. Laurier, partisan feeling between the fraternities that are represented at Howard was chiefly responsible for the poor showing the Bison squad made against the lighter and weaker Lincoln team Thanksgiving Day at Philadelphia. This means, rather than casting all thoughts of fraternities to the four winds and giving a man a chance for what he is, that partisan feeling caused its way in and certain men of certain fraternities were given preference over men from other fraternities, irrespective of true worth and ability. It is claimed that another of our prominent universities had the same situation to face this past football season and several of the team's mainstays were missing from the team for a while, which caused the eleven to fall far below the form displayed at the beginning of the season. Preference was shown men-of certain fraternities, it is rumored, and this alleged partisan prejudice wrought dissatisfactory consequences. If these reports are true, this is a bad thing to exist in any institution and as long as it runs along, there will ever be inharmony and discord. Coaches, or no other officials for that matter, ought to show his society brother any special preference especially when it has a tendency to prevent him from carrying on, successfully, the work for which he was picked and is paid to carry on. When a team loses, the coach has lost, and he labors under the pressure of defeat also. Figuratively speaking, the aggregation is the coach himself, because it displays the lofty or degrading ideals instilled by the mentor and if the coach thinks in terms of inharmony, discord, dissention and partisanship, these things will stand out in bold relief when his squad takes to the field.

Unusual MANY MYTHICAL ELEVEN PICKED FOR 1926 FOOTBALL SEASON SATURDAY DECEMBER 12, 1925 THE WESTERN CLASSIC HAS ITS AFTERMATH Bv. P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Columbus, O., Dec. 10.—Augments usually stalk in the wake of football games, but there is one discussion that persists in flaring up in this city among football fans that is a result of a single decision on the part of a quarterback in the recent football spectacle between the cream of the West—Wilberforce and West Virginia. The general opinion is that "Buster, premier quarterback of the Green and Gold, committed a grave tactical error, when in the minutes of the final quarter of the Turkey Day Classic between Wilberforce and West Virginia, after he himself had just scored the only points of the game with his powerful toe, he called for a long pass that was directly responsible for the defeat of his team. But did "Buster" do anything for which to be condemned? The Facts: is common knowledge now as what happened. Institute had headed to Wilberforce. Two thirds of the last quarter had tipped away. The first three quarters both winneds lacked and passed to no avail, getting and losing chances repeatedly. The Green and Gold received the kick. On the first play—remember t h i j—Harding passed to Terrell, left end, and a gain of 25 yards resulted, by means of which Wilberforce rested on the twenty-five yard line. In two thumps Campbell reeled off eight yards, but Branch dragged Harding down for no gain on the third down. There were only two yards to be gained for the first down on Institute's 15 yard line. Ritchie remembered the other failures earlier in the game in the same position and on the last down. There was too much doubt as to the success of a line play. In the Simmons game, the team had Ritchie and his kick had won the game. Perhaps three sure points were better than an uncertain first down with still 15 yards between his team and victory. The finesse and perfection of that great kick is nice. From the thirty yard line it sailed. It was useless for the defense to signal "good". Captain Turner had made good his drop-kick attempt earlier in the game, this three points game. In the final turn failed, those three points and possibly should have won Wilberforce for the first time eleven years. The Decision That Lost West Virginia kicked off, Will believe gained as far as the 30 yard mark. This time Ritchie deceived that fake kick would work Mr. kick was tried, but the fake failed, West Virginia got the ball on downs and kicked. Hardling wathelike, returned 35 yards With the ball near midfield, Ritchie decided on the "distrucso" play. He passed. Johnson of Institute intercepted. His flying feet winger yielded out of air, for his run on approximately 60 yards left only three yards for McConnell to plunge bitten. Wilberforce set itself on know what it all was about. The Play Pro and Con Tells start with the result of the play, and work back. Perhaps if Wiberforce had called time out, calmed itself and made a supreme defensive effort, the assaults of Institute's backfield would have been hurled back, for as Coach Hamblin admitted himself, his "backfield can not match Wiberforce's." That is a supposition that can never be proved. It is offered for what it is worth. No one can say what were the writings of Ritchie's mind, and we had too much sympathy for the man who had given his best to ask about the play. His are severalasonable possibilities, however, for eleven years his team has known victory against West Virginia. Here was a chance to the unexpected and thereby gain greater glory for his Alma Mater. Too much chance his critics say, but remember, that the same they had worked before and the one had resulted from it. The first time the play was used Tedrell gained 25 yards on the pass, Remember? This time Tedrell had sneaked into the open. Apparently there was greater possibility for success, and if Tedrell had caught that pass, he would have prevented a score, for he had got behind the last Yellow Jacket enough to stop his flying feet—if he had caught the ball. He may have frowned upon deliberately stalling for time, playing listlessly while the seconds feeted. Oh yes, that would have been perfectly proper—for winning the game—but how fair would that have been to the other team. There has been suggestion after suggestions saying this should have perhaps by those who bob and the other players. But football is supposed to teach sportsmanship. Ritchie, at least, learned He did the fairest thing as best he could. His fair effort was used by a fighting, alert, well-coached man, as a stepping stone to another triumph. It was a miracle, sally. Nine times out of ten such unexpected play would have asked it failed, but Ritchie had done his best. Say what you will, that victory? Turns Out Wanners L COACH OWEN A. WILSON, a former Lion and the man who put fight into the Fighting Bookers. Wilson has successfully carried Booker Washington through three seasons of football revelry. What About It All Benny Friedman, the great All-American quarterback of Michigan, whom his coach says is the best he ever had—and he has had some great ones—is credited with losing one game to Northwestern in a sea of mud—the only game team lost. He lost the ball, and Northwestern was in position to make the winning kick. Western dairy company stores about 100搞ing show, several players of the Big Ten history had made similar plays and become outcasts of their student bodies. "One Wisconsin conin player, they said, had it made so hot for him that he had to school. A hope was expressed for two things: that Friedman should not be thus trenanted, and that he would not let one play prey upon his mind so as to affect his future playing. Neither happened. It is generally accepted that a position in a position from which a long-range to a score was improbable in the few minutes left. It is endometrially considered sportsmanlike to choose either to take the offensive or the defensive. Willerforce, then, had a perfect right to point and take the defensive. If she had the writer believe the score would have been that it did not happen before he had it, only to judge by did he kill it. What Did Happen What did happen was this—all thru the season Ritchie his starred, In this game he starred; he played safely until he saw that, since Institute would not kick to him, but cutsia, his defensive ability would be useful near the line, he couldn't play well, and could conduct, fought courageously, as most all stars who became marked men. In short, he gave his best, Football, after all is only a game —to be played as one knows how. Ritchie and his ten team- mates might have done better, but evidently they did their best. In this light bath Ritchie and his school will learn from the little forgot, it, and forward to the new Classic. At least one other game took the same attitude. As two of its writers- "Who will dare condemn this lad who gave his best, and literally played his heart out for the glory of his 'Alma Mater'." EASTERN BOARD OF OFFICIALS TO MEET DEC. 19TH. (1) 设 $a, b, c, d$ 为实数，且 $a, b, c, d \in \mathbb{R}$，则 $a + b + c + d = 0$。 Saturday, December 19, will witness the final meeting of the Eastern Board of Football Officials at Oruid Hill Branch Y. M. C. A., of Baltimore. This meeting is scheduled to get under way at 1 p.m. Various matters of interest to officials, coaches and schools will be taken up in this meeting of the pearz. Such matters are uniformity, interpretation of the rules, methods, selection and seizing officials, fees and other points, over which coaches, officials and schools have been at variance. The Eureka Lodge of Elks football eleven, held the Bengon Light Lodge, of Portsmouth, in a one-sided affair at League Park. The final score was 14-0. The three team was voted at least three touchdowns stronger than the eleven, from across the river, but were only able to get two tallies. However, this was enough to win the fray, which had its comical aspects. English ballad opera was first sung in America in 1780. A Pony Express rider's weapons consisted of knifes and revolvers.

Having carefully and thoroughly watched rapacious the progress of individuals on the gridiron since the beginning of the current season, we are suddenly seized with a desire to organize them into mytical eleven, any one of which might with one or two changes displace the other. Players as individual sidelights have this year more than ever before arise in heds and demanded attention and just recognition of place the other. It is our greatest pleasure to present these three 'All-American teams which represent our small but sincere effort. No pains have been spared in securing every detail to make the classification fair. These machines represent the best in the East, West, and South as discerned through our eyes and those of our "epicker, sent, adviser or other such fitting words which might describe, P. Bernard Young jr., who has lent his equally sincere services in this not easy task. In Lareaster and Long we have two ends of the speedy, shifty type on defense and offense, who seem to be the most outstanding wingmen of the year.

Mitter and Portune who jailed to receive a higher rating because of his not playing in some of the openers, are the logical third. Benny Pauley, the captain for the past three seasons, Pindle receives first choice as center and is closely approached by Buchanan. Tadlock has occupied a large portion of the spotlight in the South and deserves a third pick. As a general, a runner, a passer, a kicker, a defensive gem, Wheeler is the best in the U. S. A. He is deficient in none of these departments and has proved his worth. Despite much criticism levied at Richie for one "bonehead stunt," he delivers a second barb in quarter over. Turner. Richie's all-around game makes him of All-American type. Tik Smith and Steven are two of the most outstanding backs of the season. So are Sheppard and Shields. So are William and Harding. Only a side of difference separates them. But Smith has her a line bomb as well as a defensive are all year. Steven has smacked lines, kicked, and passed with Grange-like results, and accompanies Smith. There are numerous backs all over the country who might at most as easily occupy second and third places as those mentioned. In fullback, Cavil neared Williams, and Williams neared Ward during the early season, before Wu Fang sustained injuries, he ran muck, approached by none. Today he is less sung, but remains one of the greatest fulls of the year. By a meager margin he is given first place. His teammate has kicked his way into the hearts of fans besides his many other devices of gaining popularity, while Big Ben rests the best in Dixie. We have slighted none of the many stars in our intentions to come the best. The finer points exhibited in their durability promotes the named to the rank they received.

Hampton, Va., Dec. 7.—The championship of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association goes to the Seminoles of Hampton Institute for the season of 1925 after one of the most closely-contested and indeterminate seasons in the annals of football in the Association. Only by defending Union in Thanksgiving was Hampton eligible to be proclaimed the power that she had and had the Seminoles ruled of defeat on that day, Virginia. Seminary would at this writing be requiring its legal bliss. Squint hailed highly esteemed club of the virility, of which Mr. Don A. Davis is president, tendered the entire squirt and stuff an appetizing dance at the school restaurant on Monday evening following Thanksgiving Day. The enjoyable occasion was fully concluded by encouraging remarks from several visitors and members. The spirit which had guided the team to this honor was lauded by the academers, and many assured that assured were present in the future. Among those to speak were Major Allen Washington, Dr. James E. Grege, Dr. Thos Turner, Dr. Harry P. Howe, Coach Gideen E. Smith and C. H. Williams, Captain Oscar A. Pindle, and Captain-elect William E. Lee. Lee State Captain Hampton's versatile and persistent tackle for two years, Wm. E. Lee, sometimes known as "Wild Man," was asked to pilot the Stormer in 1928. Lee is the most outstanding player of the Blue and White squad and deserves the honor. Coach Williams remarked, "No selection for captain could have pleased me more." For "Wild Man," all of his performances has proved himself worthy of a berth on anybody's mythical eleven, and stands out as a fine example for his followers. Six Letter Men Lost Of the twenty players to receive the insignia of this season, fourteen are expected to report next year for the team.

Washington, D. C. The annual meeting and luncheon of the Inter- state High School Athletic Con- ference was held at Armstrong Tech- nic School in Norfolk, with presen- tatives of each member school, present. The meeting convened at 10:05 a. m., with Mr. Westmoorland of the Armstrong school presiding and plans for the coming season were discussed and the Trophy Cup, emblematic of Inter-State Champions, was awarded. Booker T. Washington, wishing the school, Norfolk, went thru the conference schedule without a single defect. Last year witnessed the birth of the high school conference and it proved very successful, inasmuch as it fostered a closer relationship between these schools who have had athletic relations for some time. Various angles of athletic activities were discussed by the membership which includes, Armstrong high school, of Washington; Douglas high school, of Balaam; Huntington high school, of Washington; Huntington high school, of Newport, News, and Booker T. Washington high school, of Norfolk. Publicity as a means of placing high school athletics before the public was lengthily discussed by the members and the chairman stated that he believed, it not only helped the schools individually, but aided greatly in fostering the ideals of the conference. He also believed that public attendance would soon come to its own as the conference develops and places high school athletics on a high plane of perfection. Intersectional Games Discussed It is the wish of the conferences to have its organization on the working order of the West Virginia Association, which has about 22 schools on the membership roster and it also wishes to stage a series of events at schools of the Inter-Late High School Athletic Conference and schools of the W. Virginia Association. It is believed that this can be brought about in a shot while and will help in placing before the public, a larger variety of games from various sections of the country, and in building in this meeting that all games played between conference elevers, that a AS PICKED BY CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM POSITIONS SECOND TEAM Mack (Douglass) L.

We have an organization that has been needed in this section for quite a while and it is believed that the result of its work will be appreciably felt. Teams playing in the Tidewater section will be assured the most competent officiating obtainable through this officials association or organization as each member must fill certain qualifications in order to become eligible for membership, which stands for the highest ideals of the game and will leave nothing undone to keen, the game on a trophy be awarded the winner and the trophy be a football. Each home team is to furnish a new football at each game and the win- ning team is to be awarded the victory. In case of a the, the tail is to be won on a toss. It was also discussed at this meeting, the efficiency in officiating. The past year found a bit of discrepancy in officiating, and in order to guard against this in future years and to obtain the most capable officials to work in conference games, it was suggested that an officials association be formed and the members meet at various times to discuss most questions of the game and get others interpretations of certain intricate rules. Each city there is a member of the conference, an organization of officials ought to be formed, and when conference is met, the home team submit a list of officials for the arrival of the visiting eleven. A list of officials was arranged and each member voted on those whom they thought best to work in games where their teams are involved. Election Of Officers After the luncheon, conference schedules were made out for the 1926 football season and officers for the incoming year were elected. Mr. Gibson, of Douglas high school was elected president; officers of the university; Mr. Worthington of Armstrong; Secretary-treasurer; Mr. W. A. Thomas, of Huntington Publicity Agent. The next meeting was set. SEASON ociation Formed Here high plane and endeavour to lift it The officials association will probably consist of twelve members who will be available at most any time.

The association enjoyed another successful year, in which one of the closest championship races was experienced. October and November were very hectic months and nearly every team in the association made exceptionally strong leaders for the season's supremacy. The past season was very much like that of 1924, in which the Lingua-Lions were rampaging, leaving not a single doubt that they would not carry through until the final go-to: cop the C. I. A. A. gontalon. The 1925 campaign kept all of the followers in a state of uncertainty and no one would venture to say who the champions would be until the playing of the championship game between Hampton and Union at Richmond. Union, Seminary, Hampton and Shaw were fighting desperately to force each other in the background and the fight waxed fast and furious until, finally the outstanding contenders were thrust out of the scheme of things one by one leaving Hampton and Seminary. The mighty Seasiders stuck in the race without their goal being crossed until the final bell, which, also found the goal line unattarnished by the cleats of the many foes confronted. Hampton carried through, sweeping all opposition before her and holding the fight against all would be invaders. She repelled every attack, only dropping a seramble for Virginia Seminary. This substantiated the fact that Hampton's line was invincible, impregnable and sometimes more, because Seminary's three points came about by a free kick. The Dragons had signalled for a fair catch and decided to put the ball in play by a free kick, something no team can put up any kind of offense against. Hampton never had her goal crossed, even though she was seriously threatened several times, but the first-line of defense, like a mighty phalanx, offset every onslaught and every attack to send the enemy hurrying back to the hard ground below. Va. Seminary came around this year to prove a real menace and that she was worthy of traveling to a fast company. For the first time the demon Deacons attracted widespread attention and the team that was moulded for the 1925 campaign was a hefty square. Seminary lost only one game in the association and that to the A. A. D. Agries, after a hard fought defense mellee. She dropped the contest 8 to 0. Seminary was successful in holding her own against the best of the elevens in the association and finished the season just five days behind Hamilton. Union got under way like a girlfriend and carried on for three-games leading most to believe that she would end the season with the coveted honors, and the Panthers suffered a reverse and did not win a single game after defeating St. Paul. Union lost three in a row including the background and one of the worst seasons in some time. Shaw, with a much stronger aggression than she had to offer last came through to make a credible showing. Shaw had a light and the success of her showing as her team work. Shaw had Williams to offer and the eleven handed together as a unit and the Bear Brigade rolled merilong, losing no game above the point. Pittsburgh, also came around to notice a machine that proved useful for the best in the association. The Hilltopppers went through the season with only one best chalked against them and met the best in the running. Normal had a good squad in later, Epps, Chambers, and a few good men who met the is- as they came. Sand T. fell far below of what expected of the team. The ties were only successful in taking association game and that the encounter with Va. Semmert, A. and T. lost all other ties excluding the deadlock with in their Turkey Day combat. It was very strange, a well organized, strong, aggressive hard driving eleven like Greenboro aggregan t i o u did not make a better show against C. I. A.

St. Paul, a real "wonder team" of a few years back got off at a bad start and things looked very gloomy for the Lawrenceville clan, but the Tigers came back strong and finished the season in a style that deserves the commendation of the severest critic. St. Paul staged her comeback in, defeating the strong A. and T. eleven and from then on, would not concede things to the squads that remained on the schedule. Each team th at played St. Paul after that game, earned every fraction of ground that was gained. Season's Luminaries There was little flash and dash in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association during the 1925 season. There was no seintillating and brilliant performers, that is, performers who were brilliant throughout the season. Once in a few brief spells, some few would dart out like an arrow to cover themselves with the glory of the game. Pindle and Lee of Hampton seem to stand out head and shoulders above the rest of the bunch as real bright lights, and these are linemen too. Set-dom do these stalwart in the first line of defense stand out far above their brothers of the backfield. The stars of the backfield for the season, earned their honors through consistent all-around team play. Seldom did they dash and flash over the landscape leaving the dust of their hells in their wake. Brown; of Seminary; Coleman, of A. and T., Whedbeen, of Seminary and Martin of Shaw are the men who hold the spotlight. These performers played a well balanced game throughout the season and were responsible for much yardage gained by their respective eleveens. Davis, of Hampton and Hoyle, of Seminary were wingmen of morit and were in nearly every play that came near the territory in which they were assigned to hold the forti Both, Davis and Hoyle played a steady game. Polk, the dieron Dragon was conspicuous in nearly every game staged by Seminary and charged through many times to upset the enemy's plans. Alexander, of Hampton and Slaughter, of Va. Normal are about the best guards in the offering and are capable of holding their own against the toughest opposition. Hampton's showing throughout the season can be easily attributed to the strong defense she had to offer against the heaviest jonslaught. There are few lines, if any that have the resistance of the Seasider's first line of defense. Hampton's strong defense and the backfield striking at the fiftime time carried the team through the season with one defeat and not having the goal line crossed. "It was not Hampton's wonderful backfield that was a potent factor in the season's success. Though the backfield was not flashy it was not composed of dubs, by any means. Hampton's backs were sturdy but not flashy. They were hard driving fellows, but not brilliant. Their strong forwards paved the way and they followed through. The Hampton backfield was shifted about so much until it was hard to get a line on any individual in any particular position. One time a player was in half and another time he was in quarter. Williams showed about the best form during the season and easily won for himself a berth on the second team. In making a Virginia All-State eleven, there, would only have to be a few changes in the All-C. I. A. A. selection below. It would merely necessitate a dropping out of the men representing the North Carolina schools and a placing of DeHART HUBBARD'S SPORT REVIEW Almost every day one can pick up a copy of the daily papers and read something concerning the very much discussed proposed Wills-Dempsey boxing match. Until very recently the big topic of the daily discussion was whether or not the two men would ever meet, Dempsey would draw the color line and then retract. Wills would say that he hoped for the match but doubted that he would ever get it. So the situation stood until last September when the champion and challenger finally got together and signed articles for the match. Now the question is whether or not Dempsey will try to evade the agreement. The Wills-Dempsey case is perhaps the most outstanding recent case of the Color Line in athletics. The phrase "Color Line" made famous by the late John L. Sullivan, has been the standby of all champions not desiring to fight a persistent Colored challenger. "I draw the color line" usually means that the champion has an idea that the colored fighter might ion has an id be good enough to take his ti niest way to get rid of him. draw a Color Line in-so-far but his actions prove otherwise The public is only too well w of colored fighters denied a be good enough to take his title, and drawing the line is the easiest way to get rid of him. Harry Greb does not claim to draw a Color Line in-so-far as Tiger Flowers is concerned, but his actions prove otherwise. But, why go down the line? The public is only too well acquainted with the many cases of colored fighters denied a championship chance. WHAT WILL GOLF DO? To turn to another field.

We will probably have to have 6ships, just as we have Colored Tennis Clubball Championships. To turn to another field. The Colored man has not, as yet, presented a problem in the golf world. The reason is not hard to find. Golf, until recently, has been a rich man's game. The enormous amount of ground needed for a playing course, the expense of upkeep and other incidental expenses kept the man of lesser wealth out of the game of hit the ball and look for it. Very, very few of our Race could afford the expense of the game, and those who could were not likely to be admitted to the exclusive white clubs. So the Negro stayed out of golf. But now things have changed. The ancient game of Scottish Kings has become too popular to remain exclusive. Many of the large cities of the North have built Public Courses and so have opened up the game for the poorer man. Our people have responded. Go to Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, or any city with a public course, and you will see colored players enjoying the game. They are not yet as proficient as their white brethren, but they are progressing rapidly. The Colored man is taking up golf, and he is bound to develop some star players. That reminds me of an article I saw in the papers last spring. I forget whether it was Detroit or Cleveland that had the Public Links Caddy tournament. Anyway, there were a number of colored caddies on the course and they saw no reason why they should not take part in the tourney. They entered and the surprises began. Instead of being eliminated at the start as the whites expected, they started off winning matches. Once in a while a Colored player was eliminated, but only after a hard fight. The outcome was that a white caddy and a colored caddy were finalist. The white boy won, but the match went to extra holes. I have heard many comments of the golfing proficiency of some of the Colored caddies on the Southern courses. Long association with the game is bound to bring proficiency. Then too, there are a few private Colored Country Clubs where the men may take up the game. It will not be long before we will have some top note players. Will they get their chances in the big championship tournaments of the country? Maybe, but not likely. We will probably have to have Colored Golf Championships, just as we have Colored Tennis Championships, and Baseball Championships.

I have been told that a certain very prominent Big League outfielder in the leagues today is a Colored man. I have no means of verifying the report, but even if it were true why rob this fellow of his livelihood? John McGraw, the Napoleon of baseball, has often tried to get Colored players into the National League, but without success. A Cuban can play in Organized Baseball, a Mexican is good enough to play, but never a man of Africa descent. We have some ball players who could qualify, in any company. Cannonball Redding, Oscar Charleston, Demoss, Lloyd, Petway, Riggins, and many others could make this grade, but will never get the chance. The only way for our men to make any money out of baseball has been to organize their own leagues. The Negro National League, and the Eastern League, have resulted and are proving successful. Each season sees them advance in prestige and popularity. There have been scandals, but the white leagues have had their scandals. The Negro World Series is becoming a big annual event. In general the Colored man has been forced to provide his own baseball opportunities and he is making good progress in so doing. HAWAIIAN SWIMMERS ARE COLORED I have often wondered: what will happen, when we go into the swimming game seriously. For some reason, or other we have never tried the water game on a big scale.

SPECIAL XMAS FACILITIES AT THE POSTOFFICE Business Firms Requested To Purchase Large Quantities Of Stamps Before Fifteenth To Avoid Rush at Window. Postmaster Major Clinton L. Wright calls attention of the patrons of the local postoffice to the facilities affording by the postal service for their convenience during the holiday rush season, and announces a number of department suggestions which will, if observed, greatly facilitate the Christmas mail. The facilities and suggestions are as follows: 1. Business firms and professional men are requested to purchase before December 15, a sufficient number of stamps for use during December so that the stamp window will be available for the high period incidental to Christmas. 2. The use of the second floor of the General Post Office for the weighing, stamping, and insuring of packages will begin on Monday, December 7, so that individual patrons who have packages to mail and do not care to make an annex may be furnished or controlled, will take the elevator and ample facilities provided on the second floor. New Rates Effective 3. The Christmas mail will be affected for the first time by the change in postal rates made by the last Congress, and this is especially true of picture postal cards which are so numerously used at Christmas time. The rate on print-selling cards and picture postal cards is now two cents instead of one cent as heretofore. The attention of the public is also invited to the fact that "Special Handling of Packages" requires, in addition to the ordinary postage, an additional fee of 25 cents, which entitles such packages to the same handling as is given to first-class matter. 4. Business firms and large mailers of both first class and parcel post matters are requested to use exclusively the Post Office Annex, where special facilities have been provided for the handling of large mailings. The use of the Annex will not only expedite the receipt from the senders but it will also expedite the dispatch. 5.

A. S. Frissell Dined By Interracial Group New York, N. Y.—A. S. Frisell, chairman of the Board of the Fifth Avenue Bank, was the guest of honor at a dinner given at the Town Hall Club last evening by forty white and colored friends who have been associated with him in the development of the National Urban League. He is sailing soon for a vacation aboard. Mr. Frisell, who is a brother of the late Hollis B. Frisell for many years principal of Hampton Institute, became treasurer of the National Urban League at its formation in 1911 and served until his resignation a month ago. During that period the Annual budget grew from $8,500 to the $00,000 on which the League is operating this year. Affiliated organizations, which are locally financed, have been formed in as many cities throughout the country. L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National Urban League presided at the dinner and presented Mr. Frissell with a traveling clock as a gift from the dinner group. Among those present were Eugene K. Jones, Executive Secretary of the League since 1911; Lloyd Garrison, Mr. Frissell's successor as treasurer; Mr. C. Holden, president of the New York Urban League; William H. Baldwin, treasurer of the Brooklyn Urban League; Fred R. Moore, Editor of the New York Age; Miss Elizabeth Walton; Dr. and Mrs. P. Roberts, Mrs. William G. Willcox, Dr. and Mrs. A. S.

"NEP" JOHNSON DIES SUDDENLY Neptune (Nep) Johnson, pre-miracle of the Lymbynah Pool Parlar, on East Brambleton avenue, and a man well-known in what is generally called the Queen street district, died sadderly at his home 623 St. Paul street, of heart failure, Friday. Mr. Johnson was 47 years of age. He was a native of Scotland Neck. N. C., and had been a resident of this city for forty years. He was of an unassuming manne, a dapper dresser, and enjoyed the respect of a large number of people outside of his immediate circle. He was said to have been a long sufferer from the disease from which he died. "Nep" Johnson is survived by his father, six brothers, one sister, a daughter and his wife, from whom he was extraged. His body was shipped over the Atlantic Coast Line Sunday afternoon for interment at his native home. It was accompanied by his brothers, who came here from the North to take charge of the remains. One brother, Mr. J. A. Johnson of Matiwan, N. J., is now in the city winding up his deceased brother's business affairs. AUTOMOBILES NORFOLK MOTOR EXCHANGE INCORPORATED.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE MUCH ARRESTED WOMAN PAYS $451.50 FINES Ran Afoul of The Law 67 Times In Four And a Half Years, Finally Goes To Penitentiary. Viola Felton, 814 Charlotte St, who holds the local and probably the national record for getting arrested, found her last time at the hat with the law somewhat disastrous to herself. Viola drew a sentence of a year in the penitentiary in Corporation Court Wednesday, when she was found guilty of robbing William A. Williams, a large contain of $150. Although running afoul the law and getting herself arrested 67 times in four years and six months, the sentence Viola drew this week was the most drastic punishment ever dealt her by the courts. Testifying for that was all a case of mistaken identity. Viola said she was passing along the streets and saw another woman snatch the barge captain's money and run. Williams said while walking along the streets he met Viola and asked her where he could get a drink. She invited him to follow her, he said, which he did. He was arrested and the woman relieved him of his pocket book and the $150 he testified. Now Viola holds a most unavailible police record. It seems that she began her seriimages with the law on May 7, 1921, when she was arrested on a charge of vagrancy. On this charge she was dismissed. Since that time she has enriched the city tienry through the payment of fines aggregating $451.50, and served a total of 70 days in jail, excluding the time she was spent dealing the hars actions of mendomen or for someone to pay her fines. The 451.50 in fines do not include the court cost which she paid every time. Here is Viola's record: Arrested In 1921 May 7, pregnancy, dismis s ced November 21, drunk and disorder ly, fued $25.00.

The 1925 football season in this neck of woods, its distinguished feature, the brilliant rise of the Fighting Bookers to heights hitherto unattained by the local high school, which in times back, never came to the foreground as a serious centender for any particular interscholastic honors. But this year finds the school on top of the heap and flying the banners of champions that they are. Booker Washington went thru the '25 season without a single interscholastic defeat in the State nor in the Interstate High School Conference. Never before has the local school defeated its opponents one decisively than this year, displaying without a doubt; the superiority of the aggregation over all opposition met throughout the campaign. The rise of the school to attract attention throughout the State and in neighboring states began about four years ago and the teams have carried through until the present time, finishing each season far above the past, and this year under the coaching of Owen A. Wilson, former Lincoln end, the Fighting Bookers reached the apex and were crowned kings of all they surveyed. Trouble Loomed Early season, when summons for candidates were sounded, there boomed a hard task for the coach of the eleven that had just gone through the 1924 season with only two defeats. The squad had suffered the loss of some valuable men players who were conspicuous in each victory. The loss of these men were greatly felt and it was generally believed that the Fighting Bookers of 1924 would fall far below their previous form—but it's a long lane that has no ash can and the Bookers came through. Instead of Coach Wilson finding that he had a lack of favorable material, he found that he had wealth of material to the material that he needed developing. Finally the first game of the season was played with the Royal A. C. Z. club, in which the high school lads lost, 76. This game only helped the Bookers to find themselves and a sidehit the getting into on what he had to offer for the season. The next game found a different team, a squad that showed the signs of a great improvement over the trial game. The Bookers met this time the St. Joseph high school, another local, and keen rival and the Fighting Bookers took St. Joseph's immoral purposes, 30 days in jail, April 8, drunk and using profanity, $10,00 fine. May 9, larceny from the person, warrant withdrawn. May 15, common prostitute, $200 bond for 90 days, June 30, drunk, July 15, drunk and cursing officer, $10; July 15, 22, drunk, $5.

In each game, Washington won by a muster, having the team on all competitors and downing them before the final play. There was only one tie game for the season and this was the no score game played with the strong Union high school, of Hampton. Neither team was able to case by with any winning points. The contest was bitterly fought throughout, with the team attempting all the breaks but unable to follow any advantage. With exception of this game, Washington rolled along at a lively gait and all other opposition was unable to hinder her rapid stride. (Continued Next Week) St. James Church At Method, N. C. Is Dedicated Method, N. C.—On Sunday afternoon, November 28th, St. James A. M. E. Church, was dedicated. The dedicatory service was wholly in charge of Rev. J. W. Walker, D. D., presiding elder of the Raleigh District. Bishop J. Albert Johnson, D. D., of Philadelphia, Pa., the Bishop of the Second Episcopal District, was the speaker of the occasion, and delivered a very impressive and fat-reaching sermon. He spoke from Joshua 4:6, "What Meaneth The These Stone?" The Bishop wrote a very thorough historical background of the text and drew many practical illustrations which simplified and revealed the more weighty duties of the church, its mission and the people's attitude towards the church.

A symposium on "Where Shall The Negro Live?" is published in the November 14th issue of Christian Work, a religious weekly review (70 Fifth Avenue, New York) with answers to the question ranging from James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to H. W. Evans of the Ku, Klux Klan. The Klan point of view, which is also that of Senator Coleman L. Blease of South Carolina, and Governor Thomas G. McLeod of South Carolina, is that Negroes should be segregated from whites. Christian Work introduces as follows the letter of the N. A. A. G. P. Secretary: Johnson's Suggestion James Weldon Johnson, the distinguished Negro poet and Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which is helping to bring a defender to the defenseless among the Negroes and doing us all a service by calling our attention to the wrongs from which they suffer, answered as follows: The only suggestion I have to make is that if a colored family legally purchases a house in any neighborhood and conducts itself in accordance with the laws of the community and of decency, it has a right to stay there and to be accorded the guarantee of a democratic form of government and the common decencies of a civilized, Christian community. I cannot see any other course that can be pursued which would not contradict and stultify all our claims to democracy and Christianity. A city street is not in any way a social rendezvous. The fact that a man lives next door or in the same block places no social obligations upon his neighbors. In this city families live in the same house and do not know each other or seek to know each other. If we can set apart certain streets or sections in a city for Negroes, why is it not logical, in fact why is it not then compulsory, to set aside separate cities, or communities, in which they should live? I do not see how we could take one step and not follow it through without being illogical and foolish. Among those in substantial agreement with Mr. Johnson's position are: W. E. B. Dubois; Eugene Kinncle Jones, Secretary of the National Urban League; Thomas Jesso Jones; Roger N. Baldwin of the Civil Liberties Union; Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, Head of the Federal Council of Churches; Father John A. Ryan, representing the Catholic Church, and Ellsworth Huntington. Fillipinos Demand Full Independence The c. Filipino Independence Commission headed by Senator Bergio Osmanne, now in Washington, received instructions before having their country "not to negotiate for a moderation of American Imperialist rule in the Philline Islands, but to voice the demand of the Filipino people for immediate and complete independence," according to an announcement just made public by the All-America n Antipirialist League, whose sections in Latin America and the United States are ending full support to the Philip- THE THUMB MAIL TEST Your thumb nail is more sensitive than your finger tips for registering unevenness—so, just run it up and down the wall of a rebound cylinder and notice the rough unevenness it registers. then do it on a reground cylinder and notice the absolutely mirror smooth surface.

Mrs. Rhinelander, through her attorney Lee Parsons Davis, admitted her husband's contention as to her race, but denied that she deceived him as to that fact. The jury decided that Mrs. Rhinelander did not either by silence on the point or otherwise deceive her husband as to her race; that he would have married her anyway even with the knowledge that she was part Negro.

Counsel For Universal Negro Improvement Association Announce That Garvey's Mistakes Have Been Cleared (By Preston News Service) According to an announcement of the law firm of Jacobson and thaols. New York, counsel for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, incorporated, all of the liabilities of the association have been wiped out by paying forty-eight of its members about $600,000 for which judgments had been obtained. This was learned last Thursday. These liabilities, it is said, had been incurred by Marcus Garvey, the founder and leader, who is now serving a term in the Atlanta penitentiary for mail fraud. Much of Garvey's popularity, it is said, was due to his wiliness and generosity in giving jobs to all who he thought could be of service to him in spreading propaganda for the upbringing of his movement, and charging his salaries to the association. It is said that these salaries ranged all the way from $1,500 to $10,000. When the association failed to redeem the promises of payment made by Mr. Garvey, suits were brought and judgments were obtained.

GREGG TELLS OF DANGERS IN RACE PREJUDICE Declares That It Is The Worse Single Thing In Life And Says There Are No Inferior And Superior Races. "Race prejudice is the worst single thing in life today," declared Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Normal Institute, Hampton, Va., in an address on "Is the Negro an Inferior Race?" at the Old South Meeting House Forum in New York City last week. "It is time to throw overboard the notion of superiority or inferiority of any race," he said. "Where one race excels, another may show weakness, vice versa. The existence of these racial differences will always be undeniable but let us, the white races, not think we are superior because we happen to have industrial and political control of the world at present. "It is a small planet we live on and it will never be any larger. We must learn to live on it altogether, in decent neighborliness. There should be no toleration whatsoever among the nations of racial prejudice, but that prejudice should be supplanted by mutual respect and growing good will." Warns Against Skull Meas- The speaker urged his heavers against making or listening to any hasty generalizations on the subject of the Negro's mentality in comparison with that of the white races. He asserted that of the superiority or inferiority of a race cannot be determined by any kind of skull measurement, comparative size and weight of brains, or other similar tests, and that no significant conclusion can be drawn on the influence of white or black blood on rudency. In this latter connection: he said that while he did not think the crossing of races to be biologically undesirable, he did feel that the result of such action socially, at present was quite certain to be unhappy. On Monday night, the Mixed Quartette from Norfolk rendered a musical concert here. Mr. John Bagly is the leader. RACE FRICTION OUTGROWTH OF STATE OF MIND RACE FRICTION OUTGROWTH OF STATE OF MIND Speaking before the annual meeting of the Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Indianapolis, Ind, last week. Dr. Will W. Alexander, of Atlanta, secretary of the inter-racial commission, declared: "The popular picture of the Negro mind which the white people have is the picture of a Negro mind that never did exist." Dr. Alexander, who is a prominent white Southerner, has rendered constructive service in the promotion of inter-racial commissions. He said in part: "Negroes understand whites better than whites understand Negroes, and yet much that Negroes attribute to whites is not true. The relationships are made difficult by misunderstandings on both sides. $1,000.00 IN PRIZES FOR NEGRO WRITERS "Journal of Negro Life" PUBLISHED BY announces that in its SECOND ANNUAL LITERARY PRIZE CONTEST There will be $1,000 in awards to Negro writers for short stories, poems, essays, plays, musical compositions and personal experience sketches.

The difficulty is that it is good will towards the type of Negro that no longer exists. "Our investigations further revealed that racial difficulties grow largely out of the mental attitudes. "We discovered that by bringing intelligent colored and white men together in frank and friendly discussion this chasm between them could be abridged. Work of Commission "The work of the commission on interracial cooperation has been to try to build a bridge across the gulf that exists between the intelligent white men and intelligent Negroes. "There are two fundamental principles for creating better race relations: conference and cooperation. "There had been a conspiracy of silence in the South on this question. Dr. Molton says that Negroes tell white men what they think is safe for white men to know; and that white men tell Negroes what they think Negroes have sense enough to understand. You cannot get along that way. The first step is to bring this question to open, frank discussion. "Right race relations are a byproduct. If men work together around the concrete task, they will soon change their attitudes to one another." "With many others, I am convinced that the millions o. Negroes in America have something of great value to contribute to American life. Worthy of Confidence "The Negro is not a menace to America. He has proved himself worthy of confidence. He has been, and may continue to be, a blessing. In the years that are to come he needs the help of those who have voices of influence. "The forces working for racial good will in America have been unified. Never before since the Civil War has the Negro had such a chance to speak for himself. Not only have Negroes in these days been speaking for themselves, but they have found new voices to speak for them. During the 35 years previous to 1922 with 439 lynchings, there had been but one indictment, so far as the records show. The poor and ignorant everywhere have a hard time in the courts. Possibly the thing which has mattered most has been the changed attitude which has come to the white people who have been doing the work."

Philip Randolph, General Organizer for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, has sent a letter to President Coolidge protesting against the continuance of Perry Howard in the service of the Government as member of the staff of the Attorney General, while at the same time accepting a retainer as special counsel for the Pullman Parlor Car Company. Explains Porters' Side Mr. Randolph's letter goes to some lengths in laying before the President what he feels to be the grievances of the group of porters he represents, and charges that the recent employment of Filippinos as porters on club cars by the Pullman Company is a threat to intimidate its Negro porters, who are attempting to organize the Brotherhood. Mr. Randolph also denies that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is an organization inspired from Moscow, and invites an investigation of it by and unbiased group of American citizens. Says Howard Unethical In reference to Mr. Howard, he tells Mr. Coolidge, that he regards it as "unethical and against the best interests of the tax-payers for an employee of the Government, employed to prosecute railroads, to be a paid employee of a rail- A Chir A C Sa R HE simplest, most durable by one of the oldest cu tempered steel; the ra used by women for superfluous All you have to do to clip the Coupon on Norfolk and Portsmouth The Coupon and 35c Blades, and you will r SAFETY RAZOR, Pri Norfolk Jo This Coupon and 35c in Cash a and ONE CHRISTY SAFETY RAZ newsdealer in Norfolk-Portsmouth NAME ADDRESS Special H to Out-of Journal and Christy Safe Both Out-of-Town readers of the CHRISTY SAFETY RAZORS newal).

MIUNSON BUBBER RACE STUDENTS TO GO TO EUROPE FOR Y. M. C. A One American Indian May Be Included In Group That Will Go To Europe. On a Friendship Mission. New York.—Four colored boys will sail for Europe next summer as members of the Third World Friendship Tour, to be constituted under the auspices of the National Council of the Young Men's Association. It is probable, owing to a desire that the group be made "as representative as possible," that an American Indian also will be included, according to those in charge of the selection of the boys. Forty boys, chosen from forty states, will be accommodated next year, as against twenty from eleven states in 1925. Another new feature is the division of the tourists into two groups of twenty boys each. One group, to be gone ten weeks, will sail from New York in June and will visit eight countries. The other, which will be away five weeks, will attend the World Y. M. C. A. Conference at Helsinki, Finland, where 2000 persons from about fifty countries—3300 of them boys under 21—will meet to discuss world problems. Between Ages of 4 and 15. The choice of council for the tours through local Y. M. C. A., as suggest the names of boys between the ages of 16 and 19 to Y. M. C. A. state conferences. These state conferences in turn submit them to the National Council. Private schools are also sending in names for consideration. "The boys must be of high character and have outstanding qualities of leadership," said J. A. Van Dis, general director of the world tours of the M. C. C. with the chief idea of the World Friendship Tours is to bring the best of the youth of all nations in contact with one another before they have reached the age where thoughtless prejudice sets in." The longer of the two tours called the A-1 tour will start from New York on June 26, returning September 1. Visits to England Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark will be included. From July 13 to August 7 the program will include Helsingofs helpers, with members of the sheer terror, they will camp of the foreign countries and attend special boys' meetings. It is expected that, in many of the countries visited, prominent of ficials will greet the American boys. Last summer the Y. M. C. A. tourists were received by many, high officials, including Dr. Michael Hainisch, president of Austria, who presented each boy with a large autographed photograph.

Omega Psi Phi Presents Season's Gala Festival Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 4.—Smith University was the scene of the most outstanding social feature of the fall season when the Rho Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity held its annual banquet in the University Refectory, Friday evening, December 4th. This was by far the most sumptuous and elegant banquet held in years by this chapter. The University refectory was transformed into a beautifully decorated palatial dining room. A color scheme of gold and purple was carried out very artistically in the decorations. Pennants of purple and gold floated from the ceiling while the walls were ornamented with green shrubbery. A very interesting program was rendered between the courses. Mr. W. M. Russell, '26, acted as toastmaster for the occasion. Mr. J. T. Jones, of the University quintet, rendered "Lussie O' Mine", Mr. A. R. Dawson in his toast to the Sororities, appealed to them, to set-up a standard worthy of being emulated by all womanhood. In response to the toast to the Sororities, Miss Arneia Taylor, Delta Sigma Theta, carried the august assembly of diners up in a whirlwind of successive oratorical flights. Mr. A. H. Prince, winner of the Junior Contest Metal for '23, lived up to his reputation as a silver tongue orator in his speech to the Fraternities. Prof. G. Alphas responded in a fitting way to the toast to the Fraternities. Prof. G. J. Davis, basso, rendered "Nichavo", as a toast song. Mr. Kirkpatrick's violin solo, "Melody of Love," was rendered as a toast to music. At this point Prof. A. H. Adams Basileus of Rho Chapter, rose to deliver the annual address. For 20 minutes he held his hearers spellbound as he ascended upon the highest pinnacle of oratory in his plea for fraternal co-operation. Praterities and Sororites, he said, were about better cooperation for this advancement of our group, for cooperation is the thing on which civilization hangs. We should, he continued, create an altruistic spirit and work for the common good of humanity rather than for our own selfish end. Prof. Adams closed with an urgent appeal for greater co-operation between fraternities for the promotion of higher education. Those who participated in the hospitality of the Omega's are as follows: Misses Hassie Russell, Victorine Washington, Eitha Gaddy, F. E Chisholm, L. I.

MISSISSIPPIANS PUBLISH ANTI-LYNCHING BOOK States' Leading Citizens Demand That Law Be Upheld In 80 Page Broadside Recently Published. Jackson, Miss., Dec. 10—Sheriffs, their deputies, and all other law enforcement officers are urged to use armed force and to risk their own lives in suppressing lynching and mob violence, in a pamphlet entitled "Mississippi and the Mob" which has just been brought out by state officials, officers and leading members of the State Bar Association, and other prominent citizens. Among the signed statements which make up the book are ringing declarations against moh violence by Governor H. L. Whitfield, Speaker Thomas L. Bailey, of the House of Representatives, President J. N. Flowers of the State Bar Association, a number of judges of the Supreme Court, members of Congress, prominent lawyers, educators, churchmen, and club women. The place is given also to the recent anti-lynching made by the Mississippi Women's Committe, interracial Cooperation, which has since been affirmed by hundreds of Mississippi women at meetings throughout the State. An important section of the pamphlet is given to suggestions for the prevention of lynchings. Sheriffs are urged to announce in advance that they expect to do their duty in every case, even at the risk of their own lives; to employ as deputies only those persons who agree to go to the same length in upholding the law; to as certain the names of men who are opposed to mob violence; to swear that they are a special deputy at the first sign of trouble to remove to the jails of other counties prisoners threatened with mob violence; and call upon the Governor to order out the National Guard if needed. The lynching statistics for the last forty years are given, showing 530 victims to the discredit of Mississippi. The popular fallacy regarding "the usual cause" of lynchings is also more mercilessly exposed. Photographs of a recent lynchings are shown and "respectfully referred to the next Grand Jury." State officials, members of the Bar Association, and other prominent people are distributing the pamphlet widely and are offering medals in each congressional district for the best essays on the subject, high school statistics. This pamphlet and the recent statement by Mississippi women represent the first efforts in this State to mobilize public sentiment for the eradication of lynchings. They are regarded as highly significant and are expected to have a profound effect on public sentiment. PLYMOUTH Dr.D. Cooper EYESIGHT SPECIALIST 704 CHURCH ST.

Not only did it bring together through spiritual contact and actually the cream of our younger literary generation and the country’s discerning editors, literary critics and publishers; but it did in addition certain distinctly tangible things. For one, it brought to Zora Neale Hurston, who took in the contest both a short scholarship at Banard College and a secretarial position with Miss Fannie Hurst, possibly one of the best practitioners of the short story art. It also got “Fog” by John Matheus, the prize winning short story, mention in the Honor Roll of Edward O’Brien’s anthology of the “Best Short stories of 1925,” and the story is reprinted in D. Alam Locke’s “The New Negro Albert and Charles Boni”; the Albery Blues’ prize winning poem, to write the interest of Carl Van Vechten in the young negro poet, Langston Hughes. Encountering Mr. Hughes for the first time at the “Opportunity” Award Dinner, Mr. Van Vechten with characteristic magnanimity asked to see more of the young man’s poems, which were forthwith sent to Alfred M. Knopf, the publisher. Within twelve hours—a remarkable record for the acceptance of a book—M. Knopf wrote poems for publication and “I a Weary Blues’ literary experience has given me a title poem of Langston Hughes’ first book of verse which will be issued in January. Among the stories and poems in Dr. Locke's "The New Negro" the following were taken from the pages of "Opportunity": "Fog" by John Matheus, "Spunk" by Zora Neale Hurston, "The Black Finger" by Angelina Grimke, and "Riddle" by Georgia Douglas Johnson. Among some of the other contributors to "The New Negro" whose work is familiar to community" readers are: Bruce Nunnett Countie Cullen, Angela Spencer Lewis Alexandra, Angie Montgomery Lengston, Ingress Hughes, Arthur Huff Fauct, Charles S. Johnson E. Franklin Frazier, Melville J. Hettivis, Elsio Johnson McDougold, W. A. Doningo, Willis Richard, Angelina Grimke and Albert C. Harms. CAPE CHARLES Cape Charles, Va.-Rev. J. A.

Name Address JOURNAL AND GUIDE BUREAU Robt. A. Cramp 1212 St. John Street A Pathetic Figure Richmond Va.—One of the most pathetic persons moving around today, which is a sad aftermath of the great World War, is William A. Edmondson, a veteran of the late year, who says he was gassed in France, and his appearance be speaks the truth of his statement. With one lung gone, scarcely speaks above a whisper, he can be seen dragging himself in and out of a taxi cab that brings him to Second street, to his meals each day and carries him back to his home, where he lives alone. Mr. Edmondson claims to be a remnant of the 370th Infantry, Old 8th Illinois. While he is pensioned by the Government, he says money will not bring health nor happiness and he believes that his suffering is in vain because he does not believe that the War has made America a better place for the Negro in which to live. Our conversation with Mr. Elmondson in the presence of many people brought on the oft discussed subject, "Who is responsible for those slain in the War." Then shall not kill," one man repeated, and asked the question: Is killing in war, murder in the sight of God? if so, and men are conspired and made to fight, who is held accountable to God? We are going to ask some of the ministers of Richmond to answer that question and shall publish the answers in this column, if any are good enough to send their answers in. WILSON VISITS CITY J. Finley Wilson, Grand Excalled Ruler of the Elks of the World was a visitor in the city last week stopping on his way home from Norfolk, where he presided at the regular meeting of the Capit City lodge, held at the Reformer Hall, Thursday night. In the election of officers pres ided over by District Deputy Harrison Dean, the following officers were elected: Geo. L. Branch, Excalled Ruler; Frank Collins, Leading Knight; Edward Lively, Loyal Knight; Robt. B. Brown, Lecturing Knight; Thos. Fowler, Esquire; A. J. Brown, Secretary; Henry Mallory, Treasurer; Albert Thurston, Inner Guard and Robert Allen, Tiler. The Elks in this city truly have been instrumental in bringing the prices closer together. For the first time in the history of the city a colored fraternal order has been given the privilege of holding its services in one of the down-town theatres. Capital City Lodge No. 11 holds its memorial services or Sunday in the Academy of Music in 8th street at 3:30 p.m., preceding down Broad street to 8th to the Academy. CLUR HOLDS STAG The Wall Street Beneficial Club held its annual stag and smoker at Johnson's Hall Monday night.

Everybody knows the Wall Street and when they say let's have a party, they usually have everything from soup to nuts. After the members and friends had arrived the toast-master said "on with the dance and let joy be unconfined," and the fun was on. COMMENTS ON DYER'S commenting on the speech made by Congressman Dyer here last week, a prominent lawyer, who seemed to be more jubilant over the fact that Mr. Dyer scored the ministers for their alleged sloth- fulness instead of lawyers, than anything else said: "It is shameful, while hundreds of thousands, stood in line, more than a block long and three deep, shivering in the 冷, waiting to pay 30 cents to get into a moving picture show, a hand- ful of people, possibly 300—at that a mere handful, compared to Richmond's fifty or sixty thousand WASHINGTON VIVA MRS. E. M. FURMAN, of Q St. one of Richmond's leading business women. In the capacity of an architect, Mrs. Furman has drawn the plans for a number of beautiful homes in the city. She is the daughter of a prominent contractor. Negroes—paid 25 cents to hear Mr. Dyer, author of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and a staunch supporter of the N. A. A. C. P. speak. Bg JEANETTE CARTER Washington, D. C.—In a statement from the Department of Justice Saturday last it was given out that William C. Matthews, of Boston, recently appointed special assistant to the Attorney General, was sent by the Department to Springfield, Ohio, with the designation of assistant to the Attorney General. A dispute arose between Senator Deneen and Senator McKinley over the appointment of a man as assistant. The Deneen man was not acceptable to District Attorney William Martin, Mr. Matthews will remain until the rush due to the next term of Court is ended. In an interview with Attorney General Sargent he said that he had no comment to make on the Matthews appointment further than that the appointee had previously served in the same capacity with the United State Attorney at Boston and his work had always been satisfactory. Actors Rest, a colored hotel was broken into Saturday night by 3 policemen, who are alleged to have threatened the arguments as well as the proprietor with arrest on a statutory charge, after making an attempt to take eleven of them to the police station, they were told if each of them would put up $50.00 they would be given in their freedom, when this offer was refused the proprietor saying that he preferred to accompany them to the station house, they made several reductions, finally agreeing to take $10.00 and $12.00 from the would-be prisoners, those who refused to give up the money were beaten up by the officers. Charges were immediately filed against the officers, and they were at once relieved from their equipment, and suspended pending disposition of the charges. J. Arthur James, the only surviving members of the Understaffing Firm of James Brothers, for the past twenty years Washington's leading undertaker, has testified from the business, and leased his beautiful funeral home to Ambrose B. Loyd and W. E. Wilson, who will conduct the business at the same stand, and under the same name. Mr. James will enter the real estate business. Two of the many things said by Mr. Dyer stand out prominently, one was when he, repeating the words of the late Woodrow Wilson, said: "No man can be a decent and respectable citizen and tolerate lynching and mob rule." The other was when he said: "The whites preachers of the South will pray and pray loud and long but will never say a word against lynching." NewsLeader Starts Fund To Make Up Convention Deficit In keeping with the spirit exemplified by them before and during the Great Elks National Convention held here in August, the News-Leader has started and is helping to conduct a campaign for funds to help wipe out the deficit of more than $3,000 incurred by the convention committee by bringing this great convention to Richmond. It cost a tremendous amount of money to pay the expenses of the convention and the News Leader has started the fund off with $250.00, which has been augmented by some individuals with a like amount, and others are coming in fast and it is believed that soon the entire amount will be realized.

Many of the Catholic agencies working among colored people were represented by their directors. Among the prominent speakers were Archbishop Curley of Baltimore; Rev. Dr. R. C. Kramer, director of the Board of Negro Missions, of New York; Rev. S. L. Theoobh, a priest of St. Paul, Minnesota; Hon. Eugene Marshall of Chicago; Mrs. Bunn, of Philadelphia; Prof. Victor Daniel, principal of Cardinal Gibbons institute; Prof. Eugene Clarke, principal of Miner Normal School, and Dr. T. W.

J., has just concluded one of the most successful revivals held in the city. The Rev. W. E. Tyler, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Atlantic City, who conducted the campaign against sin, won into the church many converts by his forceful and instructive sermons to the many persons who gathered to hear him proclaim the 'Word of God.' As a talented singer, he stirred many hearts filling them with joy and gladness. Just about the time when the progress of the revival was getting hottest, he was unable to complete the two weeks' campaign, returning to his pastorate on Thanksgiving Day for special services. Finishing up the work, Rev. C. M. Long, pastor, ended the revival with baptism on Friday evening, November 27th. Many were baptised and joined the church resulting from the efforts of Rev. Tyler assisted by Rev. Long. Thanksgiving Day services held in union with the Mt. Olive Baptist Church were inspiring to many who learned the honor in praising God for his goodness. Rev. Long delivered one of his interesting sermons. The pastor preached to a crowded congregation Sunday morning, delivering a sermon on "Christianity in a Nutshell." Exemplifying the child's relation to its parents in characteristics as that of a Christian to Christ. The sermon was instructive and helpful. He also rendered a special sermon to the Deacon's Union in the afternoon to many deacons of the vicinity. Rev. C. M. Long will speak from the text "The Question God Can't Answer," the contents of which will be given in the following publication. SUFFOLK DR JORDAN SICK Dr. J. F.

College quartet sang Sunday morning at 10:00 o'clock at College Place Methodist Church, a large and prominent white church of this city, before a crowded audience which had gathered to pay tribute to Negro Art, literature, and music. The program was under the supervision of the students of the North Carolina College for Women. Those rendering numbers on the program paid unprejudiced tribute to the Negro in the fields of art, literature and music. Special comment was paid to Tanner, the artist, James W. Johnson, Langston Hughes, Jessie Taucer, and Dunbar, the poets and writers. Praise was given Dett, J. R. Johnson, Burleigh and others. Remarks By Professor Fuller Remarks By Professor Fuller Immediately after praise was given Dett, J. R.; Johnson, Burleigh and others, Professor Fuller, Director of Music, A. & T. College was introduced to the audience. Professor Fuller made a very interesting talk on "The Negro In Music," which received many favorable comments. Following the remarks by Professor Fuller, the quartet sang the "Negro National Anthem," "Study War No More," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "Steal Away," arranged by Prof. Fuller. These numbers were highly appreciated especially "Steal Away." Many of the hearers expressed, personally, their appreciation of the wonderful interpretation and strangely beautiful harmony, demonstrated in the selection rendered by the quartet which had been so well trained by its director. The members of the quartet are J. H. Twity, 1st tenor; Chester Bennett, 2nd tenor; G. H. Willis, baritone; and J. L. Connor, bass. These men are under the personal instruction of Prof. Fuller and have won fame throughout the State. They have sung at some of the most distinguished occasions in the city and filled engagements throughout the State. Prof. Fuller is giving them special attention in the preparation of their repertoire for a busy season and extended tour. The A. & T. College is justly proud of Prof. Fuller and the quartet. Palmer Memorial Sedalia, N. C.—Joseph Douglass appeared in violin recital, Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in Wellesley auditorium—Alice Freeman Palmer building. Mr. Douglass is an artist of rare distinction and the way in which he handled the instrument called for absolute silence throughout each rendition, followed by bursts of applause at the close. Special attention was directed to one selection in particular; Kuyawiak-Transcription of the Birds. In this number, Mr. Douglass not only exhibited his skill as a master of the violin, but also his wonderful ability to imitate. By changing the position of his left hand and with the use of the E string alone, so well did he imitate the singing and chattering of birds, that two little sparrows answered the call against the windows in their effort to enter. Mr. Douglass also rendered his famous selection, "The Deacon's Prayer," much to the joy and amusement of all. Mr. Douglass was assisted by the Girls' Glee Club, which sang several numbers including "To A Wild Rose" by McDowell and "Lift Thine Eyes" by Mendelssohn. In addition to the faculty and student body and the people of the immediate vicinity, there were many friends from Greensboro and nearby towns. There was a large attendance on the part of the City School teachers and the faculties of Bennett College and A. & T. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE College of Greensboro College of Greensboro. After the recital, many of the friends retired to the faculty reception room, and in a social way exchanged greetings with Mrs. Douglass and their many friends. This is the first of a series of concerts to be given on Sunday afternoons by the Glee Club, presenting from time to time, able artists. Mrs. Rose Smith Loder of Greensboro, North Carolina will be the next outstanding artist. Waters Normal Winton, N. C.—Much spirit was shown between the classes last Friday night in the volley ball contests. The first game was played between the girls of the second and third year classes. The third year girls won two games out of three. Then came the hotly contested games between the third and fourth year boys. It was a "tug of war" for a while. Each team vied with the other for the title. But smiled upon the seniors and gave them the victory over the junior of 3 games out of five. The indications are that Miss Eula Speller will be a volley ball star before the winter has passed. She served nine points with o u t stopping Friday night. Miss Sallie B. Wattford and Miss Corleen Davis were visitors in Winton for the weekend. Misses Viola Hull and Cornelia Downing were in Norfolk last Saturday doing their Xmas shopping. Miss Sallie E.

Several times, Miss Anderson was repeatedly enforced and each time she responded, the audience demonstrated its pleasure in listening to her. Her program permitted the presentation of a wide variety of vocal offerings, including specially arranged Negro spirituals and numbers in French, German and Italian. Especially pleasing was her rendition of "O Mio Fernanda," Donizetti; "Wohin," Shubert; "Water Boy," Robinson; "Coo-Coo;" "Deep River;" "Die Male Acht." Brahms.

And Counter Cullen and Langston Hughes are holding high the standard of the race in making books of verse. It looks as if the stubbornness of the striking coal operators and miners would compel Congress to enact appropriate legislation to protect the public from the inconvenience and discomfort, and the tyranny and greed, of the operators and miners. If they can't compose their differences and properly apportion among them their extortionate earnings at the expense of the public, the consumers, it is the business of Congress to find a way to make them do it. "The ignorance of the white man, the Southern white man, of the Negro, is little short of appalling," says Mr. Thomas F. Parker, a prominent white citizen of Greenville, S. C. He has the right viewpoint but he could not convince the average Southern white preacher, editor or politician that he has. They think they know the Negro as no others can, although they have continued to lose sympathetic touch with the Negro masses and have little with the educated Negro, ever since the Reconstruction days. He is waking up to the fact that he has not this sympathetic touch and is striving to get it, we are led to believe by every day's report in the newspapers. It is well. President Gandy of the Virginia Normal and Industrial School rendered a helpful service in his address at Chicago, at the meeting of members of the Association of the Land Grant Colleges, by pointing out the obvious fact that the educated Negro is an asses to the South and helps to promote good relations between the races and is emphasizing the agricultural advantages of the farm in such a way as to encourage farm development among the people of the race. We need educated farmers and plenty of them and our agricultural schools should be encouraged and supported to extend their influence as generally as possible. This is being done and the extension and demonstration work among our farmers is growing in favor. We have been quite surprised at the cordial reception the American people have given to the committee charged with the work of raising $2,000,000 as a fund to provide for the education and proper care of Filipino children abandoned by American soldiers. They call them Filipino meztizoos and with proper care it is expected that they will make good and helping Americans. We hope so. They have our sympathy and good wishes. But the white American fathers of the 8,000,000 mulattoes at home have taken a very different position toward them. They are doing and have done things and will continue to do things, but they are very generally denounced as mixed breed out of whom no good thing can come and a being anxious to pass for white, and all the rest of the other phases of the "social equality" rubbish. We find it depends largely on whose ox is gored. The Indian and the Malay were never better than the Negro and they never will be. Right now "Negro Spirituals" have the right of way in the bookmaking, in the newspaper reviews and in the theatres, thanks to the works of James W. and J.

He is waking up to the fact that he has not this sympathetic touch and is striving to get it, we are led to believe by every day's report in the newspapers. It is well. President Gandy of the Virginia Normal and Industrial School rendered a helpful service in his address at Chicago, at the meeting of members of the Association of the Land Grant Colleges, by pointing out the obvious fact that the educated Negro is an asset to the South and helps to promote good relations between the races and is emphasizing the agricultural advantages of the farm in such a way as to encourage farm development among the people of the race. We need educated farmers and plenty of them, and our agricultural schools should be encouraged and supported to extend their influence as generally as possible. This is being done and the extension and demonstration work among our farmers is growing in favor. We have been quite surprised at the cordial reception the American people have given to the committee charged with the work of raising $2,000,000 as a fund to provide for the education and proper care of Filipino children abandoned by American soldiers. They call them Filipino meztiztos, and with proper care it is expected that they will make good and helping Americans. We hope so. They have our sympathy and good wishes. But the white American fathers of the 8,000,000 mulattos at home have taken a very different position towards them. They are doing and have done things, and will continue to do things, but they are very generally denounced as mixed breeds out of whom no good thing can come and as being anxious to pass for white, and all the rest of the other phases of the "social equality" rubbish. We find it depends largely on whose ox is gored. The Indian and the Malay were never better than the Negro and they never will be.

Damned With Faint Praise If President Coolidge had omitted together any references to Afro-Americans in his message to Congress he would have dered the race a service. His weak, or less, meaningless appeal for sympathy the race is an affront to twelve million Americans, who have never had their so bungled by a President in a formal moment. The race does not ask maudlin pathy. It wants a square deal and opportunity with other citizens since shares with other citizens equal responsibilities. The President virtually condoned public and social injustices as practiced in the race in America when he pointed that to guarantee to any body of citizen the right to "live their own lives under protection of the public law" did not include license to injure others materially or to violate the established customs we have long had the sanction of enlighten society." That is a new interpretation American democracy, and one which but a weak, vaccinating, straddling person would have uttered. It is theudent's way of evading an endorsement anti-lynching legislation and getting an segregation and discrimination in the eral government departments. There are no customs having the intention of enlightened society that are high than the organic law of the land, and in promising with such customs Mr. Coolidge placing his executive sanction upon him and all the evils that flow from it. We had much stronger and more statesman utterances from Southern governers during years. If President Coolidge wrote the race question entirely alone he render a service far more effective to ored Americans than will ensue from periodic attempts to appease the mob appeal to its perverted conscience at same time. If President Coolidge had omitted altogether any references to Afro-Americans in his message to Congress he would have rendered the race a service.

There are no customs having the sanction of enlightened society that are higher than the organic law of the land, and in compromising with such customs Mr. Coolidge is placing his executive sanction upon bigotry and all the evils that flow from it. We have had much stronger and more statesmanlike utterances from Southern governers during recent years. If President Coolidge will let the race question entirely alone he will render a service far more effective to colored Americans than will ensue from his periodic attempts to appease the mob and appeal to its perverted conscience at the same time. The Pullman Porters' Union We are all interested in the tangle which the movement to organize the man porters, their male and their fe into another union has been resolved this was to have been expected when M Philip Randolph was announced as the mover in the new movement. There we ready an organization of the Pullman We are all interested in the tangle into which the movement to organize the Pullman porters, their male and their female, into another union has been resolved, but this was to have been expected when Mr. A. Philip Randolph was announced as the chief mover in the new movement. There was already an organization of the Pullman workers when Mr. Randolph projected his proposition into the situation, and that fact alone was sufficient to indicate that there would be trouble. Mr. Randolph and Chandler Owen, editors of the Messenger, the only Communist publication the race has, are not regarded with favor by the Department of Justice at Washington, the American Federation of Labor or the employers of labor, because they are credited with being opposed to all the good things in government and industry which we are supposed to enjoy. This does not answer the question as to the necessity for Mr. Randolph's organization or Mr. Randolph's reliability to create such an organization which would fill a long felt want and not get into trouble with the Government or unduly influence the members of it to action which would prejudice their dependability as employees of the Pullman Palace Car Company, although the latter and the Government might think otherwise. Mr. Perry W. Howard, assistant to the Attorney-General and National Committee man for Mississippi, has got himself into another ugly mess by taking the sides of the Pullman Company and making it appear that his actions were endorsed by the judiciary department, which has felt constrained to announce that Mr. Howard was acting without its authority. It will be recalled that Mr. Howard was accused of throwing a monkey wrench into the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, when it was before Congress a year ago. He denied it, but the accusation clung to him and hurt him as a responsible spokesman for the race in high place. We have, it is estimated, 146,500 Afro-American workers in the railway service, some 20,224 being classed as Pullman Car service workers. Most of the groups have an organization already and most of them are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Whether the Pullman employees need such an additional organization as Mr. Randolph is working up is for them to decide. They know what they want and should have, or ought to know, because their bread and butter is at stake. We hope that they will decide always for their best interests, as they certainly are old enough to do so. Norfolk Journal and Guide NEGROES IN WHITE PUBLICATIONS NEGROES IN WHITE PUBLICATIONS By P.

"Said Mr. Cohen replied silly, intimating that he would be for those who cared to hasten or to tarry; adding further that he was not to be trifled with by a person of inferior coloring. He rose from his safe seat behind the steering wheel and threw his sash into the street as close as possible to that of Mr. Johnson. Doorman Johnson smiled his ivory smile. One of his fists moved forward a few inches.

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES Why We Should Study Negro History It is customary for a rich man to have automobiles, to build beautiful and palatial houses, to take long vacations, to go abroad, to have his wife wear diamonds, pearls, fine furs, and exquisite clothing generally, to keep sometimes two or three apartments, to maintain many wives, to gumble, to drink, and to dissipate. Both women and men of wealth have been distinguished by wasting. Thorstein le Blen, in his Theory of the Leisure Class, refers to this as "conspicuous waste." It was a mark of wealth to show how much one could afford to throw away. As the result one who wastes a wantonly is presumed to possess the ability to waste. He is supposed to be able to afford it. Most people cannot afford waste. Yet most of them would prefer to be dubbed "wealthy." They, therefore, put up a front—keep up appearances. They somewhat reverse the order of going from the known to the unknown, and try to establish an order of the known from the unknown, or better still, believed from the known. People seeing them waste like rich people may believe they are rich. Let us look into a few ramifications of this theory. A man unable to buy a fine house will rent one. He will get an automobile before he gets a house, because only a few people may be able to come by and see his house, while he can drive the automobile around where they must see it, throw dust up in their faces, mud on their feet, and annoy them by honking his horn. He is sure to attract attention. John D. Rockefeller or J. Pierpont Morgan may sit down to a lunch and tip the waiter a quarter or half dollar. A Negro eating a similar lunch at a similar place, probably Morgan's butler, will give that waiter seventy-five cents or one dollar. It is general knowledge that place frequented by Negroes is a splendid place for a waiter to be, if tipping is the rule. Why does a Negro tip so much more heavily than Morgan or Ford? This should someone ask who that white man is after he goes out, an awe-laden atmosphere it will be whispered. "That is J. Pier- By PROF. RAFORD LOGAN Virginia Union University Many reasons might be adduced to show the necessity for us to study our own history. I wish to consider only one, but one that is of vital and growing importance. It is probably true that until recently American History has been written by Northerners. The reasons for this are obvious. Facilities for education have always been inferior in the South to those afforded in the North. Then, too, Northerners have long felt that Southerners were incapable of writing impartially about their own bitter experience. With neither the opportunity for the development of scholars nor the assurance of getting a hearing, the South has held a very unimportant place in the field of historical study. In the past few years, however, there has been a decided change. The South is beginning to realize that education is the very best investment that a community can make. In addition, many young men from the South are going to the big universities in New England and the Middle West. As a result, a new school of historians is beginning to make itself felt. These Southern writers are not only acquiring knowledge which, they feel, fits them for their task, but—and this is much more dangerous—they are finding publishers and public with astounding facility. Of course, the subject that interests them most is the Negro. There is a concerted movement on the part of these authors to disprove the rather fair attitude of Channing, Rhodes, Hart Haworth, Bancroft, Dunning, Hockett and Seblesinger. Some of these new writers put into print puerile essays that would not be accepted as a "Special Topic" in Freshman History in any university of standing. I wish to cite only one. "Authentic History of the Ku Klux Klan," by Susan Lawrence Davis, American Library Service, New York, 1924. But while a book of this kind would be thrown into the waste basket by any serious student of history, there are others that are Saturday, December 12, pont Morgan, or Henry Ford." Whereas, the same question about the Negro would most likely reveal that he is nobody in particular. When one is trying to appear to be what he ain't, he has to pay for creating a false belief. It is the price of keeping up appearances! A social gathering of New York, Washington, Philadelphia or Chicago colored society women would reveal a huge number of expensive fur coats, Wunder, Pointex or Eiffel hosiery, I. Miller slippers, and Betty Page gowns. There would be no difference in their fronts from what Mrs. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Astor, Stuvesant Fish, Whitney or McCormick would present. Their chief difference would come in their backs. They would present the evidences of wealth, without the wealth. They would waste without being able. If one would see beautiful and fine silk shirts, let him go into a club room where Negro gentlemen are gambling. Here he will spy a veritable Monte Carlo or Negro fashion. There are some things, however, on which a person does not need to waste, since he is not going to get any credit for wasting, nor its derivative—being wealthy enough to waste. One of those things is a diamond ring. If a working man has on a four carat diamond ring, it is phony, or glass, because he is not able to have a diamond. If J. P. Morgan or John Rockefeller has on a glass ring, it is a diamond, because they are able to purchase diamonds. So basic has become this principle that since the period of banditry and robbery has become so pronounced, rich white women have, to a considerable extent, locked up their diamonds, pearls and jewelry in safe deposit boxes. They wear imitations, knowing full well nobody will suspect them of wearing anything but the best—the real thing. Poorer people, pondering these facts, can save a great deal of money. It is a waste to spend for something whose only merit is show when you don't get credit for that show. We have always been struck by the high powered cars purchased by people of color. One rarely sees a Negro with a Chevrolet or a Ford! much more successful in their invasive monoganda Madison Grant and Lothrop Stoddard succeeded so well in creating the "Nordic Myth" that one may truly say that our present immigration Law is founded on the precepts, dicta, sanctimonious honilies and pious platitudes that till their books. These two men are no more industrious however, in their way than Octavus Roy Cohen with his insulting, nonsensical stories in the "Saturday Evening Post. Whether childish, sanctimonious, or humorous, a flood of literature from Southern pens is being disseminated throughout the Northern colleges and universities. Its effect is just beginning to be felt. Twenty years from now, the seed now sown will be a giant tree that we may not be able to fell. We must prevent the growth of this seed; we must make it fall among thorns; and if it does take root, we must lop off those roots immediately. We cannot depend on others to continue to fight our battles. With the growth of commercial relations between North and South, with Miami a suburb of New York, the spirit of laissez faire in the North will increase. Unless we write our own history, unless we teach and study it, our place in American History will be a continuous stream of invective, disdain and ridicule. There has been a political interpretation of history, a social, a philosophical, an economic, a Southern. Let us now present a Negro interpretation of history. Let us write about ourselves and about the other man. Work of this nature must be begun at once. Otherwise Octavus Cohen, Susan Davis, Stoddard and Grant will have such a hold on the public that it will be impossible for us to get a hearing. Thanksgiving—Georgia From Greenbore Daily News. God's sun shone on the earth yesterday and it was the best of autumn in the South. The Thanksgiving season approaches. By proclamation from President and governor and by national tradition already becoming im- memorial the time comes when an opulent people is supposed, each in his fashion, to give thanks for the manifold blessings of farm and fireside, of counting house and treasury, of bulging barn and of coupons ready to be clipped. Peace and prosperity, such material wealth as the kings of old never dreamed of, and God's sun enriching the earth and all theween. And down in Georgia the chairman of the legislative penitentiary committee, Emmet Williams, submitted a report on what the convicts in the prison camps have to be thankful for, noting, among other things, that Human beings are being suspended with chains, their arms being held above their heads, their feet barely touching the ground; Human beings are being chained in shallow boxes with their arms held so they cannot be moved, their faces smeared with molasses, placed where flies can torture them. Mr. Williams, noting further that for which thanks may be given, "declared the torture methods are originated by wardens in an effort to discredit the law prohibiting flogging of convicts, so that the practice of whipping will be restored." God save the nation and the states! God save us all! BUSINESS TALKS By C. E. ARMSTRONG Accountancy More failures have been due to a poor accountancy system, than any other one cause; the day has passed when a man can use his head for his accountant: neither is putting on one book what is taken in in a day or week trading, and in another book all that is paid out, accountancy. The trained accountant is a necessity to every business, if it would succeed; the principle involved is the same, whether it be small or large. Accountancy is the watch-dog of business; it finds the leaks here and there, and many concerns that thought they were prosperous, and had been making money, awoke to the realization that for years they had been losing money. Certain friends of mine often say to me, such and such a company is doing a tremendous business, they must be making money; mere volume does not mean much. Give me the cost sheets, that will tell me whether they are making money and that only. Time and time again, concerns have failed a few months or a year after they had published record-breaking business. Two typical cases in point were, The Westinghouse Electric which failed in 1907, and Wilson & Co., Chicago packers. The packing company for the fiscal year of 1923, attained the greatest volume in the history of the business, six hundred million dollars; yet in February 1924, a receiver was appointed and today after eighteen months, the business is still in the hands of the receiver. Any accountant or bankers, could have predicted these failures months ahead. In the case of the Westinghouse Electric vast sums of money were spent in financing experiments, and put into fixed assets that in the panic of 1907 were frozen stiff. In the case of Wilson and Co., they had attained their volume by doubling their notes and accounts receivable; to do this, they had borrowed heavily from banks all over the country. The consequence was, they were unable to meet bond interest, and pay dividend on a prior preference issue of stock when due. So much for tremendous volume. Aside from showing the actual financial condition of a man's business, it enables him to more profitably finance his business. Every business has its peaks and valleys; for instance the busiest time in the average mercantile establishment is just prior to the Christmas holidays; the proper accounting system will show the merchant what were his requirements for that season of the last year, and what days he achieved his largest volumes; what lines of merchandise were the best sellers, and which were the drones. With all this data, he knows just what to concentrate on, and can fairly anticipate about what his margin of profit will be. Lastly, a business that presents an up-to-date financial statement to its banks, periodically, will be the business securing the largest lines of credit, and in a credit stringency the full force of the good of accountancy, will be forcefully, and painfully driven home.

Cooper, medical director of the American Birth Control League. He said, "If American civilization is to be saved, the use of some method of birth control is absolutely necessary." Dr. Cooper need have no fear that American civilization will be destroyed. It has been set forth in vigorous terms by many of our great thinkers that to control birth by any means whatever, is an act in opposition to the rule of the Creator. The commonest motive which induces people to seek knowledge on this subject is an unworthy one. There is a foolish and unreasoning diret of having children prevalent among many women and some men. Women dread the confinement to the house, the seclusion from the gay round of society, and the laborious care of children. Men are apt to be more or less selfish as to their choice in the matter. In other cases they are disposed to ovade the responsibilities of parentage by reason of a dislike similar to that of their wives for labor and expense. But I think there are few more unlovely sights on God's footstool than that of a childless couple as they approach middle age. Dr. Cooper also said, "The increase in the number of morons and feeble-minded people in the United States is astounding." I must admit that married people, who are afflicted with certain incurable diseases, should not desire to bring children into a life of suffering and disease. To such, a knowledge of any legitimate and harmless means of restricting conception would be a blessing, but the practices resorted to, unfortunately, are not only ineffectual, but positively harmful. According to one scientist of acknowledged ability, there is but one sure method, one entirely free from danger, and one within the reach of all; that is, to refrain from union altogether. But the mere idea that the promptings of nature can or should be entirely unheeded, will be revolted against by almost every person as altogether absurd and unreasonable; so far at least as concerns men and women as they are now constituted. Prevention is never justified, either from a moral or any other standpoint, however, different people hold different opinions on this subject but there is no diversity of opinion in regard to the detestable crime of abortion. JAMES H. JOHNSON Open Letter From Principal Thomas Hallpton, Va.; Dec. 3, 1925 Editorial Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va. the Sig.—Kindly publish the following as an open letter to the public high schools of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The high school football season having come to a close, the Championship of the Virginia Association should be duly awarded to the school serving out. The following facts stand out: Booker Washington High School, of Norfolk Va., has not only fairly won the championship of the InterState Association but also has lost no game to any Virginia High School by defeating Roanoke, the mistress of the West, Norfolk has eliminated that section of the State Peabody High School, of Petersburg, the mistress of the Central section, declined to play a necessarily postponed game with the Union High School, of Hampton. The Hampton eleven has lost no game during the season. This automatically eliminates the Central Division of the State. In the Tidewater Section only the Booker T. Washington High School, of Norfolk, and the Union High School, of Hampton, have finished the season undefeated. These two schools played each other in Norfolk, to a scoreless tie. The Union High School herein offers the Booker T. Washington High School opportunity to win the Championship of Virginia by playing the deciding game with Union High in any locality other than Norfolk or Hampton. Upon the failure of Norfolk to accept this offer Union High School of Hampton feels justified in reclaiming the title she won last year. The Championship of Virginia Respectfully, (Signed), Y. H. THOMAS, Principal Union High School
