C.—With a blazing kettled red bandana about her head which served as a night cap, Mrs. Bettie Sanders, an elderly woman, emerged from her burning home just before the structure collapsed, after having made a heroic rescue of her three small children on Friday last, it was learned here Sunday morning.

MAN WHO TOOK DOWNMONEYGETS ANOTHER WRIT MAN WHO TOOK DOWNMONEYGETS ANOTHER WRIT Supreme Court Sends Back Case of Louis Butts. Who Drew His Wages At The Point Of Pistol. Five dollars is five dollars and a principle is a principle, but seldom do the two combine to produce so long a drawn out legal fight, raise such a fine point in criminal law, and tax so heavily the resources of just a plain laborer as in the case of Louis Butts, who, sometime prior to January, 1923, was an employee of the Royster Guano Plant at Money Point, and who, after being discharged from the plant forced the host to pay off at the point of a gun. For taking his money, twice Butts has been convicted on a charge of attempted robbery and sentenced to the penitentiary and twice, on appeal, the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has sent the case back on the last time being Wednesday, January 13, of this year, just three years and five days after Butts was first convicted and sentenced. Point Raised The fine point on criminal law raised by Burt's case and which has served to keep it before the courts so long and to keep him out of the penitentiary so far, is can a man be guilty of robbery or attempted robbery for taking that which rightfully belongs to him? According to testimony which has been heard and reviewed numerous times, Butts, while working at the gunmo plant got into an argument with the walking boss as a result or having split some ammonia which he was trucking. The walking boss "fired" him. Butts demanded his two days' pay amounting to $5.00. He was told to return Saturday, the regular pay day, and get his pay. He then appealed to the superintendent for his money. The superintendent upheld the walking boss, refusing to pay Butts before Saturday. Butts then leveled his revolver on the superintendent, made another demand for his pay and got it as a matter of course. He later was arrested on a charge of attempted robbery, tried in the Circuit Court of Norfolk County and on January 9, 1923, convicted and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. His attorneys moved for a new trial; motion was denied. Appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeals was taken, and on confession of error by the Attorney-General, the case was sent back to the lower court. Another trial followed. Butts was again convicted and this time given a two (Continued on Page Eight) Norfolk Journal and Guide Coroner's Jury Places Responsibility For Death Of Little Leroy Strother Curtailed Bus Service Annoyance To Number Of Uptown Residents Israel Banks Blamed For Killing.

Huntersville and Douglass Park Residents Who Failed To Keep Posted On Bus Situation Become Riled. MAJORITY OF MACHINES ORDERED OFF STREETS A number of residents of the Huntersville and Lindenwood sections who have for the past six years depended on bus service to get to their work down town, awoke Wednesday morning to find this service greatly curtailed as a result of City Manager Truxtun's order, issued on the day previous, removing from the streets 10 of the buses on the 18th street route and one of the five on the Douglass Park route, because of poor mechanical condition. A flood of profanity from irate would-be passengers, late arrivals at work and otherwise general confusion were the result among those who had not taken the pains to keep informed on the bus situation and prepare themselves for any eventualities. This occurred however, during the first hours in the morning, and the situation approached normal as the buses in service picked up a 10 minute headway, which they came a war maintaining throughout the day. Three bus operators whose machines had been removed from the streets, returned later in the day with other buses that passed inspection, and resumed service. One of the machines on the Douglas Park route switched to the 18th street line to give aid in the emergency. On the Lankert's Point line, it is said, the traction company put on two to replace those withdrawn as a result of the City Manager's order. Practically all day the 18th street line carried peak loads in an effort to take care of the traffic, the drivers scarcely stopping for their meals, some of them said. However, traffic was (Continued on Page Eight) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1926 HONESTY OF NEWS VENDOR IS REWARDED Newspaper Carrier Finds Small Fortune Buried In Frozen Snow On Pavement; Returns It To Owner. THOUGHT VALUABLE PEARLS WERE BEADS (Special to Journal and Guide) Warrenton, N. C.—George Freeman, colored newspaper carrier of this city, is $1,000 richer today on account of his honesty. Freeman while making his rounds several days ago, picked up from the snow what he thought was a string of beads. As a pacifier for his little daughter who had just fallen on the slippery pavement and was crying, Freeman gave her the "string of beads." They shone brightly and the little girl was immediately consoled. Williams went home. Later he read an advertisement in a local paper telling of the loss of a valuable string of pearls by Mrs. Mitchell Harrison, of Philadelphia, who was a recent visitor here. Freeman's thoughts turned to the glistening "beads" he had given his little daughter. He examined them, and decided to take them to the Faquier National Bank, where the "beads" were promptly identified as Mrs. Harrison's pearls. Freeman received a reward of $1,000. The first thing he bought with his money was a string of beads for his little girl, for she needed purifying again. MAN LOSES LEG UNDER WHEELS OF LOCOMOTIVE Found Beside Norfolk-Southern Railroad Tracks With Limb Amputated And Suffering From Loss of Blood.

Leaping headlong through a second story window, scattering fragments of broken glass hither and thither, dodging through a maze of hues and alleys while bullets from the revolvers of three detectives whizzed about him, James Edmonds, suspected of having robbed the cash register of the D. P. Store at the corner of Chapel street and Washington avenue of $82.00 Wednesday night while holding the clerk at bay at the point of a gun, and of having attempted on the same night to hold up and rob the store of M. Galumbeck, 1035 Church street, successfully eluded the officers for a brief spell early Sunday morning after having been cornered by them in his room at $829 Calvert street. Liberty Was Brief Edmonds' liberty was brief, however. One of the bullets had scored a hit. The detectives followed a trail of blood that led through the maze of lanes and alley, a few hours later again cornered him in a room in the Lincoln Hotel, several blocks away, where he was found sitting calmly on the side of a bed nursing a dangerous beaver wound in his abdomen and a severe cut on the arm made by the broken glass. He was placed under arrest and removed to St. Vincent's hospital where he died Tuesday. Edmonds Identified At the hospital Monday morning Edmonds was positively identified by the clerk of the D. P. Store as the man who held him up and robbed the cash register, and by Mrs. M. Galumbeck as the man whose attempt to rob her store on the same night she frustrated by stealing him.

Early Sunday morning detectives went to his home on Calvert street to place him under arrest. He answered the door shortly after I oweck.

Personnel of Commission Transports Booze Through Streets James Brown, alias "Ham," 502 Brewer street, evidently concluded late Saturday night that so many and varied are the ruses resorted to by enterprising bootleggers to transport their waves through the street, most of which have become familiar to the sleuths, that the very best ruse would be no ruse at all, so he set out to carry three or-gallon jugs of houch to where he wanted it to be, with the stuff open, plain and unconcealed in his hands. Lady Luck, however, had gone to roost somewhere when "Ham" started on his liquor route with no other protection than his noose. Just as he emerged from a gate on Doyle street he was spied by Officer Hylton with the jugs in his hand, so declares that officer, "Ham" was not alone either. He had a companion who had elected to transport two one-gallon jugs of the contraband in the same manner in which "Ham" was transporting the stuff. But the companion espied the "law" before the "law" spied him, and took to his heels, leaving the jugs and liquor at the pleasure of Officer Hylton. "Ham" was arrested and decked on a charge of violating the Lawman act. ARMSTRONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT BODY ON STRIKE Walk Out When Report Is Received To The Effect That Principal Newman Is To be Demoted to Instructor Washington, D. C., Jan 20—More than 800 of the 1,115 students of the Armstrong Technical High School, who went on "strike" last Friday morning as a protest against the recommended demotion of their principal, Captain Arthur C. Newman, returned to their classes Monday morning in reference to his wishes. The student leaders made it plain that they returned to school Monday morning only to show the board that Capt. Newman could maintain discipline. The strike of the Armstrong Technical High School students was precipitated by the action of the committee of the whole of the board of education. It met in secret session Wednesday evening, June 13, and authorized Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of public schools, to inform Capt. Newman that a recommendation would be submitted to the board of education at its regular meeting, Wednesday afternoon, demoting him from principal of the Armstrong Technical High School to the rank of a military instructor with a loss of $1,300 a year in salary. This committee action was based on a recommendation by Mr Wilkinson. The reasons were not made public, but it was at first hinted that Capt. Newman lacked educational qualifications under the merit system of rating teachers and principals. Later, however, when public interest became aroused, Mr. Wilkinson issued a statement in which he said that his recommendation for the demotion of Capt. Newman "was based upon a study initiated because of numerous complaints from members of the school administration, from members of the faculty of the Armstrong Technical High School, and from the public itself." When the school authorities were notified of the action of the striking students, Mr. Wilkinson issued a statement in which he advised that many of the students were absent from school in violation of the compulsory school attendance law, which provides that all children under 16 years of age must attend school unless excused by the school officials. In addition to the action of the students, all but 6 of the 60 teachers and clerks at the Armstrong Technical High School have signed a resolution expressing confidence in Capt. Newman. A mass meeting was held at the Lincoln Theater Sunday and another one at the Armstrong High School Monday "All the News that's Worth Reading" PRICE 7 CENTS ILDREN weetheart JURY FINDS SLAYING WAS AN ACCIDENT Jury In Circuit Court of Norfolk County Returns "Not Guilty" Verdict In Case of Elijah Boone. KILLED GIRL FRIEND OF LONG STANDING A jury in the Norfolk County Circuit Court Thursday acquitted Elijah Boone of a charge of murder in connection with the death of Miss Obelia Copeland, who was killed with a shot from a gun in the hands of Boone in her home at Jordansville, near West Norfolk, on November 13. The defendant pleaded that the killing was unintentional, testifying that he shot the young woman while cleaning a shotgun. The young woman's mother, testifying for the prosecution, said Boone nearly knocked her daughter's eye out in the summer of 1924, and had since beaten her. Deputy Sheriff Dennis, who arrested Boone, said that he arrived at the house two hours after the traced and found the man there, making no attempt to get away. Boone told him the shooting was accidental. It was reported at the time of the killing that Boone and Miss Copeland had been friends for a long time and were contemplating marriage. Attorney T. E. Gilman aided in the prosecution and Col. George C. Cabell appeared for the defense. POTTER'S FIELD MAY GET BODY OF CAR VICTIM Archie Williams. Who Was Killed By Street Car May Have To Be Buried At Expense of the City. "Unavoidable accident" was the verdict rendered by the coroner's jury sitting in Corporation Court Tuesday afternoon that inquired into the death of Archie Williams, who sustained fatal injuries when hit by a street car on Lake avenue, near Union Station on Friday, January S. Williams died from his injuries in St. Vincent's Hospital the following Wednesday. On Wednesday night of this week, eight days after Mr. Williams' death his body was still at King's undertaking establishment, where circumstances pointed to its finding interment in a pauper's grave the next day. The man was apparently 65 or 10 years of age. He, with his wife, was said to have lodged on Anne street. Inquiry by Guide reporters where he lived failed to disclose much information concerning him, as the family stated that they had known Williams not more than one or two weeks, the time he had occupied a room in their home. His wife, they stated, had been seen very infrequently since coming to the house to live. At Williams' death his body was removed from the hospital by undertaker Hale. Later, at the request of the man's wife, his body was taken in charge by Mr. King. Now, it is understood, undertaker King has been informed that the widow does not want the body, or is unable to bury it. It will probably be interred in Potter's field. Reporters so far have been baffled in their efforts to obtain anything material on Williams, concerning where he worked, or whether or not he was, a native of this city, or if he had family or church connections here. None of this information was available at either Hale's or King's undertaking parliars, and the reporters have not been able to locate Williams' wife. Tuskegee Negro Conference Tuskegee, Ala.

Haggie, proprietor of the Variety Shop, 750 Church street, left the city this week for Baltimore and Washington to attend the wooden and style shows. Mr. Haggie, who before leaving the city told the Journal and Guide that his business enjoyed a 40 percent increase last year over the year 1921, was optimistic over the business outlook for the new year. Much of this optimism was caused he said, by his recent oblainting of a very substantial credit rating in addition to what he already had. He stated that his present credit rating which was obtained upon careful inspection of his accounts, enabling him and as many of his old customers and as many new customers might come with tailor made clothes and men's wearing on orders as low as 50 cents a week. He is in a position also, he said, to arrange loans for his customers of from $1.00 to $100 on reasonable terms. The spring line has arrived at the Variety Shop, stated Mr. Haggle, and is now ready for the customer's selection. He expects to bring with him from Baltimore and Washington the most fashionable styles in full dress and formal attire, which will be rented to the public. By a new freezing process ice cream may now be shipped by air mail. You can often judge a man's character by what he thinks laughable.

BRAMBLETON AVENUE Of Special Interest To Women ```markdown ``` Home&Kitchen Suggestions Women You Like to Look at are almost invariably those who have long, straight hair, which always looks smooth, soft and glossy. You simply can't afford to neglect your hair nowadays, because too many other women of our group are learning how much more attractive they can make themselves, by giving their hair the right kind of attention. You can't imagine how easy it is to make your hair so straight and long and so easy to arrange in any manner you wish, and how it will stay that way, by using PLUKO HAIR DRESSING. The first few applications of this delightful preparation will give your hair such a wonderful fragrance and make your hair so straight and glossy, your friends will comment on it, and its regular use will give you a thick growth of long hair. Miss Bertha La Joy, the beautiful and attractive dancer and singer, now with the Darkness Ease Musical Concert, which is touring the South and East, says: "I find it very easy to keep my hair long, straight, glossy and easy. I do not any manner at all using PLUKO HAIR DRESSING. I simply would not be without this wonderful preparation."

Fotunately I enter the bus either at the station or at the end of the line, choosing a rear seat, from which point of vantage. I can observe the less fortunate members of the sisterhood, who entering at less advantageous points are forced to stand. And, speaking about standing, reminds me of the fact that I did not explain the fact that I prefer the last seat on a practically empty bus, when every bus rider knows from experience that it is the most uncomfortable one—but what are the discomforts of a few jolts, compared to having one's best hat smashed and one's toes trodden upon. Yet, I think, even those indignities could be endured if it were not for the accompanying look of the offender that says, "You ought to put you feel in your pocket." If you have never been on the bus, say at five-thirty p. m., then you have missed half the fun of your life. At that time the bus is crowded with the "pore" tired working man; at the next stop is an endush of last minute feminine shoppers you know the ladies just must shop) and here's where the fun begins.

Then keep the fat on and put in some potatoes and French fry them. In the summer months this method of cooking is not attractive but when it is cold we do not mind standing a little longer than usual over a stove. Deep Fat Frying is cooking by means of immersion in deep fat raised to a temperature of from 350 to 400 degrees F. Three pounds of leaf lard or a good vegetable fat are required for deep frying and a Scotch kettle is the best cooking utensil to use. Women Conducted by HORTENSE THOMPSON EDITORS NOTE: Beginning with this issue there will be featured in this column, notes of special interest to our women readers. Contributions and suggestions will be welcomed. ance among the women he retains his seat. Often this seeming act of discourtesy calls down a truce of abuse on the offender's head carried on in stage whispers by the gentle strap-hanger; odious comparisons of the two races, barbed thrusts at his manhood, etc. Such scenes are admittedly humorous, but there is an underlying current for serious thought. Why should a woman resent the fact that a perfectly strange male fails to rise and give his seat to one of the opposite sex, the echo of whose proclamation of equality has not yet ceased to ring. To do so or not should be his prerogative. If he does so, it shows that inbred courtesy or acknowledgment of the ideal of womanhood, found in every woman, though some times latent. And said courtesy should be recognized with, if not a low murmured "Thank you", at least a polite inclination of the head, and not in that 'It's no more than you should have done' attitude. Great care should be taken in frying that, fat is the right temperature; otherwise the food so cooked will absorb fat. Do not fry to much at one time, not only because it lowers the temperature of the fat, but it may cause it to bubble and go over the sides of the kettle. It is not the fat that boils but the water which the fat has received from the food. All fried food should be drained on brown paper to prevent greasiness. RULES FOR TESTING DEEP FAT FRYING 1. Drop an inch cube of bread from soft part of loaf, and if in one minute it is golden brown, the fat is at the right temperature for frying any batter or dough. 2. If after heating the fat, an inch cube of bread is golden brown in forty seconds, the fat is then of the right temperature for frying any cooked mixture. TO CLARIFY Melt fat, add raw potato, cut in quarter-inch slices, and allow fat to heat gradually; when fat ceases to hobble and potatoes are brown, strain carefully. The potatoes absorb any odors or gases and collect some of the sediment, the remainder settling to bottom of kettle. DO YOU KNOW Calumet Baking Powder added to a recipe for bread or rice pudding eliminates all danger of having a heavy, soggy pudding. Pie crust in which half a teaspoon of Calumet Baking Powder is added to every cup of flour, will be especially light and fluffy. Calumet Baking Powder added to mashed potatoes or carrots, together with the milk and beaten thoroughly, makes a delightfully light and appetizing dish. When making an omelet, if a teaspoon of Calumet Baking Powder is added to every four eggs, and beaten in thoroughly, the omelet will be considerably lighter. You Like to Is The Foot Of Your Stocking Long Enough Is The Foot Of Your Stocking Long Enough "Did you know that stocking sizes are scaled to the actual length of your foot?" writes Isabel De Nyse Conover in the January Woman's Home Companion. "Put a ruler down on the floor and see how near you come to buying your number of inches. Sizes and lengths of stockings vary a little, but it's a good start. Stockings should be long enough so that you can pinch up material with the index finger and thumb beyond the big toe after the stocking is on. It's the real test of size." Matrimony In an article on "Charting the Sea of Matrimony" in the January Woman's Home Companion, Frances Duncan Manning undertakes to warn prospective mariners of the principal perils of shipwreck in those turbulent waters. The most formidable of these dangers, says Mrs. Manning, is living with relatives reef. She warns: "The parents may have the disposition of angels or of archangels; the young folks may be scarcic; the reasons of convenience may be strong; the promise of material comfort, of being spared radical changes, may allure; the budget may clamor aloud. Refuse to listen to the siren-song, even though it be deafening as a steam callipope, and set up your own establishment with your own Lares and Penates." On the question of careers for married women, Mrs. Manning denounces the A. S. M. Hutchinson viewpoint, declaring: "A surgeon, or a sailor, a banker or a mining engineer, does not after marriage quit his work, and so a-farming because: he has children who need fresh eggs and milk and butter, nor is he held derict in duty if he lets another conduct these necessaries personally from him and cow and field. Nor, by the same token, will a woman who is a successful architect or actress, milliner or manicurist find joy in quitting her chosen work. Marriage does not change her tastes or preferences, though it adds to her responsibilities." Here are two of Mrs. Manning's searchlights: "Our grandmothers thought they had to choose between love and art. The modern young woman takes both. "Many a man has the notion that his wife is annoyed because he does not give her enough. But with most of us it is the man's attitude toward the money of the establishment that counts, not the money itself." Roland Hayes Ticket (By Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 14—Roland Hayes, renowned tenor, with his accompanist, William Lawren ce and private secretary, R. D. Mann, were politely refused admittance to the Aldine Theatre, one of Leow's chain of theatres, when they attempted to see a performance at the theatre Friday afternoon. Mr. Hayes and his company NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Deceased PETER H. HARRIS were enroute from Baltimore, Md., to Columbus, Ohio, where Mr. Hayes gave a concert Saturday night. They stopped over in Pittsburgh Friday to spend the day with John T. Clark, executive secretary of the Pittsburgh Urban League. Mr. Hayes says that the girl at the ticket office informed them unliterally that it was against the policy of the theatre to sell tickets to colored people and she was exceedingly sorry. The party asked for the manager of the theatre and was informed that he was out of the city. The matter was referred to Mr. Clark of the Urban League who plans to take up the matter of race discrimination in the Abyline with the officials when they return to the city.

His funeral was conducted at St. John's, A. M. E. Church, where he held membership for over 20 years. Tuesday afternoon, Rev. J. A. Young, the pastor, officiated, and was assisted by Rev. D. F. White and Rev. D. J. Lee. Mr. Parkins, although apparently a man well in his forties, had never married. He had been a resident of this city for a number of years, enjoyed a wide acquaintance and the respect of all who knew him, both white and colored. In the social life of the city, honored prominently, holding membership in the Aedian Club, the Aenea Association, the Assembly and the Hiwatana Club. In the first two organizations he held prominent positions. Although it was known by Mr. Parkins' intimate friends that he had not been in the best of health for the past three or four weeks, his fatal illness based only one hour and his death was entirely unexpected by even those who saw him most. He is survived by two brothers, Albert W. and Dominic W. one sister, Mrs. Annie Dobier, a rare niece and two nephews, all of this city. Dr. Young touchingly etiologized the life of the deceased. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Internment was in Calvary cemetery. At the beginning of 1925 there were 1,074 privately owned American citing, including tankers.

The meeting was presided over by Dr. F. K. Taige, president of the board. A detailed report was presented to the members of the board by Mr. Walter Wright, secretary, which showed every item of expense and receipts and was concrete evidence of the most economical management of its affairs. According to the report not a person who had had anything to do with the management of its affairs had received a penny for services, asked although much valuable time had been spent, especially by Mrs. Laurie E. Titus, who for years has served as its superintendent and by Mr. Wright, the secretary of the board. The members of the board spoke feelingly of their appreciation of the efficiency and concientious manner in which the home, has been connected and unanimously reelected all of the old officers for another term. Mrs. Titus send a very interesting report on how the home had been conducted, telling how comfortable the inmates were and how they daily expressed their gratitude for the care and attention they were receiving.

WHILE HAMPTON STEADILY CLIMBS TO TOP HAMPTON LAMBASTS SHAW IN A BREEZY COURT GAME; LATTER REGISTERS FIRST DeHART HUBBARD'S SPORT REVIEW by DEHART HUBBARD World's Brent Jump Title Holder PAGE FOUR BY THOMAS W. YOUNG Hampton, Va. Jan. 16—For the first time in four years, an opponent scored first on the champion Seasiders, but this brilliant shot by Armstrong was not sufficient to discourage the invincible Hampton five who ran up a score to a 14-6 lead during the first half, and recklessly tore away from the bonds put upon them by the Bear Brigade and in the final stanza ran wild to pile up a 42-15 count. Shaw opened the fray with a dash and vim that caused a bit of unrest among the Hampton supporters. The Red and White had got the tap and almost within breathing time Armstrong had smeared a slate held clean almost four years. But "Cutie" Brown relieved the strain from the Hamptonians when he dropped one from the foul line. The spectators were in tense excitement when Armstrong recorded a beautiful overhead shot to give his Bears a 4-1 advantage. While Diamond, who had substituted for Yergan, completed his teammates' scoring with a long shot from almost the center of the floor. Hargrove defined disaster for the visitors with five clean and dazzling field goals. At the same time E. E. "Savage" Brown exemplified his viciousness by adding four additional double-counters and one single to claim jointly scoring honors with Hargrove who offered only a free throw in the final half for a total of eleven points. Lambright secured four field goals. "Cheet" Jones three, and the other Brown a foul shot and field goal for a sum of five points. ONE ALL-AMERICAN TEAM It is a bit past the football sea son, but the All-Time team picke by Ralph Ferguson, *Monseur* 20, is interesting because it is different from all the rest. Mr. Ferguson admits that he has not seen every game played, and so is not qualified to judge the abilities of all the players, but he does say that he can pick a mighty good team from those players he has son, Morchouse '20, is interesting because it is dif- ferent from all the rest. Mr. Ferguson admits that he has not seen every game played, and so is not qualified to judge the abilities of all the players. but he does say that he can pick a mighty good team from those players he has seen in action. He leaves out some names that are nationally famous, but he didn't see the men in action, so he doesn't name them. Ferguson's team follows: Charlie Elder—Athanta—end. Johnny Shelburne—Dartmouth— tackle. James Elliott—Atlanta—guard. George Hall—Morehouse—center. "Big" Johns—Prairie Vie w- guard. Weaver—Morehouse—end. Fritz Pollard—Brown—quarter. Leigh Maxwell—Morehouse—half. George Brock—Morehouse—half. John Lewis—Atlanta U.—half. Football fans, send in your All-Time All-American selections. We want to get your ideas. Last week at Paterson, N. J., a young lad from New York sprang a surprise in the 60-yard dash. His name is Eric Dawkins, and he defeated Chet Bowman and Lewis Clark in a special race. Both of these sprinters were on the Olympic Team, so Dawkins' feat is a remarkable one. Nothing startling developed in the annual meeting of the t w baseball leagues last week, so we will all lean back and wait for the opening game, which is only a couple of months off. FLOWERS AND GREB Windmill vs. Windmill. That is only another way of saying Tiger Flowers vs. Harry Greb. Both are veritable windmills when in action so my way of putting it is not so far strong. The scientists who have been searching all these years for perpetual motion can now take a question, because the discovery has been made, and the great scientific problem is no longer a problem. Harry Greb and Tiger Flowers are the two perpetual motion machines and any one who has seen them in action can testify to this fact. When these two fighters meet a couple of months from now, there should be a battle royal. Greek has stood off all challengers for a number of years, and Flowers is the leading challenger in the middleweight division. Both have an incentive for plenty of action in the coming match, so there should be no dull moments when they finally get together in the squared circle. Chances are that the fight will go the limit to a decision, because neither boxer carries much of a knockout punch. Both are of the sabbing type, depending on their attack to bounce For the Iwers, Black, Armstrong and Diamond such registered four points, the two former being the high spots on the Bears' side in general court play. Hampton To Go To Morehouse On February 10 the Sessader cagers go down to Atlanta to visit the celebrated Mor-house "quint" which for five years has introduced the shipmates to the less pleasant side of a basketball game. The City Armory has been secured for this encounter and an overflow of fans is expected to crowd this historic hall. The Marcon clan returns the visit on February 22, and the famous Hampton Grammarium will be filled to capacity to view the spectacle. On the way home, Hampton will drop in on A. and T.

And, Chick Dempsey still sits seriously on his throne, master of all he surveys, so long as he keeps his glance away from the horizon on which the shadow of Harry Willoughby like a dark cloud to dim the luminosity of his Royal Highness. POLLARD AND GRANGE I have heard many people say that Pollard was a greater football player than Grange. These folks are real football fans and have sufficient knowledge of the game to qualify as critics. They claim that as an all-round backfield man, Pollard had Grange hedon. Many have claimed that Tobin the publicity map for the University of Illinois Athletic Association contributed 70 per cent to Grange's greatness; Tobin and three or four great games during three years of competition. Grange ran wild against Michigan in 1924, against Nebraska in 1925, and against Pennsylvania in 1925. He had other good days, but these were his best. Friend Tobin played on the three days, and the world sat up and applauded. When Red failed to make good, nothing much was heard of it, so to Tobin must go a large part of the credit for Grange's greatness. Pollard was unfortunate in that he played only one great year at Brown. But, that one year always will be fresh in football memory. In that year Fritz beai Harvard and Yale, and many lesser teams. Not only was he the great and outstanding offensive star of the year, but he was almost the entire secondary defense of his team. The great work of Pollard in the Colgate game, when he made almost all the tackles for his team, clinched for him the place of honour on Walter Camp's All-American team. There is no way of knowing to what heights Pollard would have risen had he played three years at Brown. Then, why the difference in the face of these two players? It is a matter of publicity. Grange got the newspaper publicity and Pollard didn't. Babe Ruth gets the publicity, and Hornsby doesn't. Publicity is half, or more than half, of a star's greatness. The man who gets it the money that goes hand in hand with publicity. Newsaper space means as much as playing ability. So, Grange overshadows Pollard who is generally regarded as just as good, if not a better player. The Indoor Track Season is under way and some rare sport is promised the fans. The foreign invasion this winter will be formidable, and the home talent will have to go some to hold its own. Houben the German; Hoff, the Norwegian; and Paulen, the Dutchman, are all great athletes and should make good here this winter. RED GRANGE A BLACK GRIPPER?

THE GAME IS THE THING--- ANDY SMITH Late Mentor States Ideals Regarding Famous Gridiron Game In Last Message. In the last message of the late Andy Smith, the great California football coach has come to light, and in it are embodied some of the real ideals of the grand old gridiron game. The message says in part "winning is not the thing in football—the game is the thing." This last message was an article prepared for the All Sports Magazine, just before Thanksgiving giving. The famous coach died soon after, with an attack of pneumonia. The article stated further: "It is not the question of winning os losing any particular game" wrote the Lamarus coach of the Golden Bears "or for this matter in any particular season. Winning in football involves winning the games of a season, the respect of one's opponents, the confidence of the public and winning a game over one's self. "I have found that often it is possible to win when to all outward appearances I had lost. If the members of a team which goes down to defeat before a superior team allow themselves to be depressed by the thought of defeat, the chances are they will actually lose, while if they are able to profit by their own mistakes and gain by the experience, they may well gain by the defeat and thus actually turn it into a victory for themselves.

The opening of the Journal and Crude Basketball League which was scheduled for Friday night of this week, had to be postponed on account of inability to secure the playing court for that night. However, it is expected that activities will get under way Friday 22th. Each team in the league is making preparations for four tiff games on the opening night. Each team is determined to win the first game of the league season, which might have some tendency to decide the championship five at the end of the season. The week of grace is heartily welcomed by all of the squads as it gives more time to knock of some more of the rough edges in order that a smooth working team will take the floor when the whistle sounds sending the competitors on their way. All of the teams are outfitted and ready for the fray so far as equipment is concerned. Colors of the four league teams are: Fighting Bookers, red and white; Collegians, red and blue; Norfolk Athletic Club, red and white; Community Five, blue and white.

The Shaw University quintet comped on the Community Finish Five at the Plymouth Wheatley Garden, last Friday night in a live-living contest in which the former team rolled up 41 points to the local 8, making it a four-fold affair. The game was interesting from whistle to whistle and a good bit of clever passing was in evidence. The game went along at a lively gain for several minutes after the first whistle before either team was able to score. Getting the ball from the Community five, in its territory and staging a series of dashy passes, Shaw worked the ball within left boundaries and Yearlong, such the first ball to draw first flag for the visitors. It took the Shaw backers a long while to find the cage and the shooters missed many birds before the range was obtained. When time stopped the first half, Shaw had amassed five insults and one fire throw to Community's two and one fire throw making the count at half time, 11:32. OVERWHELMED Beginning in the second and last half, Shaw run completely wild, with Yongeen leading the fray again and overhauling the local outfit. Community Center was unable to stop the maddened dash of the Bears, as they sunk the ball with regularity. Yeargen, the rangy center lead in shooting for Shaw, while Armstrong followed in his wake to gain second place—Yeargen's caged 9 and Armstrong garnered 4. The entire Community Five team played a crookable game, doing some passing in the first half and the final stages of the second.

Demby is a complete superstar rating in the heavyweight division. Rickard, also a wicket two other champions in their respective classes. Rocky Kanea and Didi Browne. The magazine is an international re and editions, fighters and over the world. The list is to be comp tition with an article to be published in the king, a magazine voted on the prize fight game and is copy- printed under the name of the published. Richard bases his selection of champions, in fact, all those who come in for consideration, on what they did during the 1925 canadian leg. In spite of Deming's attitude or activity in the leg, he placed at the top in the heavy class. Harry Wills comes in for second place and on account of the fire showing twice (the June Tenney, he is given third position. Four race campers come in for favorable position in the list, with Chick Suggs rated first in the bananaweight division.

WAY DOWN IN ALABAMA The State of Alabama seems to be unwilling to bear the cost of National unity. From the south of off-road on the gridlock. She called a team to Washington where it followed the University of that State, which victory offered the recognized country-war championship. And a few audacious ones are contributing to Tuskegee, also located in the good old State of Alabama, another National crown of course, authority for this contribution is questioned, but it certainly adds a bit of championship prestige to the Gulf State. ALIBIES, BAH! A statues of ignorance upon the lands of India are the perverse or Peter J. Brady and Berengard Gim- bel, who sat in the referees' chair at the recent Flowers-McTigue scrap in which the latte, host see m of ten rounds and won the decision of the above named gentlemen who is previously staged, occupied seats of the judged. Here are likely candidates for anyone sheeting an All-American dumbbell squad (while the habit seems to be so popular). We would recommend Brady as captain and timbel as manager. Says Grantland Rice among other things in defense of these innocent debutants in the wide open field of prize fight judging: "The toughest job in sport seems to be judging a boxing match, prize fight or whatever you call it." What about a football game like the past Howard-Williams defense where the word of one official changes the somewhat important tide of victory; what about a close basketball game which extends several extra periods and finally decided by one or two point differences? How about officials there who are kept constantly on the "go"? "Bat few judges (says he) at a boxing show which goes the distance to pleas." Yes, but decisions against non- Notifier are usually accepted and given by the metropolitan press. "It isn't easy to follow two sets of bands when they happened to be buried at close quarters—a m most boxing at this age is all in hand." Well, maybe not, but when one set of gloves completely off-sweeps the other, it isn't necessary to follow so closely. SIMPLE YEING THE JOB To find the matters for the indig- e, the method of doodling a leather or silingline did has been reduced to a consideration of the bout as a whole, and not as many integral arts. If team A in a baseball game scores one run in each of the first eight innings and holds team B scoreless during that time, half of the bleachers get up and walk out. But if team B slopes out nine runs in the final inning, who wins? but this does not excuse the bosshead, worthless the chief hand of the Tiger, as he won seven turtles of the people beside win- ning the fight. RUNYON CONSIDERS LANGFORD AND JOHNSON BETTER THAN WILLS Dunon Runyon, noted sports writer tells a little tale of the greatness of Jack Johnson and Sam Langford, in a story in a metropolitan daily. Runyon has to say: "Georges Carpenter, the Frenchman, knocks out the Englishman, Tombly, in two rounds at Vienna. "A Paris ear spendent, says French sporting man express the opinion that Carpenter terminated the fight quickly because he had to catch a train at Haver, where he is to embark on a steamer for the United States. "Nothing new in this. There is little new under the sporting sun. Sam Langford, great. Negro heavyweight of another era, once did the same thing. "Langford was training on the Pacific coast for his second fight with Jim Flynn, the old Fighting Fierman, when he received a nice offer to appear in Cheyenne, Wyoming, against Nat Dewey, a pugilistic trial hero" of the day. "Langford and his manager, Joe Woodman, hired to Cheyenne, planning to catch a train out of that plenum Little Western city back to Los Angeles the same night of the Dewey fight. Sam Quick Finisher A delay occurred before the men entered of the ring, that shortened Lampford's time. Emerson W. Dickerson, now famous sports editor of Grand Rapids, Mich., was refereeing the fight, and as Lampford walked out of his corner into a clinch with Dewey he turned to Dickerson and asked: "What time 'at Ovibian' train set in load, Mito to kick'd?" "You got about 15 minutes, Sam' replied Dickerson. Lungfellow pushed Dewy over against the ropes, and over Dewy' shoulder, remarked to a number of newspaper men sent at the invoice: G mumma, ahm wey sowy, but AM GOTTA KETCH ATTRAIN! He pushed Deway away from him, his right flat roo and fell left-fashion, just once. Down- and OUT went Dewey. Better Than Wills "Why Langford a greater fighter than Harry Will?" "The writer is inclined to answer yes" to this question, yet "is room for much argument. Will, when little more than a raw land, Langford a torrific fight PAGE FIVE Rankings RERS LANGFORD TTER THAN WILLS in their first battle, when Langford was at his best. "Langford's greater experience finally won for him. Presently Wilts gained in experience, caught up with Langford finally passed him as the years stripped Langford of his powers. "If Langford stood out over Wills in any one particular it was in ring INTELLIGENCE. Langford's fictive mentality was developed to a remarkable degree. He was a 'smart' lighter. Out of the ring Wills is perhaps the more intelligent. He has lived to a more advantaged pugilistic era than Langford. Johnson Best of Negroes But inside the ropes, no man, white or black, had more intelligence than Langford. No man could THINK faster. "Jack Johnson was perhaps the greatest Negro heavyweight of many years of ring history. He proved it by becoming champion of the world." "Oldman says Peter Jackson was a greater fighter. Some think Langford was at his best, basing the theory on the fact that Langford as a comparatively little fellow gave Jackson a great fight early in Johnson's career." "However, in later years the question was once submitted to question and Langford said: "No Jack carried too many guns" or Would Smother Wills Johnson had surpassing skill and ring cunning. The writer thinks Johnson at his last could easily have "anothered" Harry Wills' greatest attack. In the very nature of things, Wilie is not the fighter he was a few years ago. He once had a good shaking left hand. Now he is known mainly as a right hand body puncher. He has demonstrated his ring courage time and again." VA.

JOHNSON, JR The Howard University Freshmen scored a one-point victory over the Manchester Club in a closely contested court game at the Y. M. C. A. The game was a preliminary to the varsity game, in which the veteran quint downed Simmons by one point. The Manchester boys were outclassed in the first half which ended 14-5. Evidently the Manchester aggregation decided that they had not been playing and came back with a bang and outplayed the Freshmen until they had a three point lead. The Howard preps found their old fight and they just managed to overcome the lead by one point before the final whistle. Johnson and Cox of Howard shared the scoring honors with four field goals each. Holland of the visitors collected ten points for his work in the game. Howard Freshmen Manchester Johnson F.

THE "WHIRLWIND'S SELECTION "Whitwind" Johnson, who gained athletic laurels at, first Shaw, then Union and Lincoln presents an All-American selection with a different twist from the rest. He's giving All-Americans in every branch conected with the football game. His selection seems as trite as the rest. The only thing, that seemingly attracts attention is the All-American coach. If Johnson's other abilities were listed with that of picking All-American coaches he would be in a pretty bad way. Anyone who picks Young of Lincoln as an All-American coach, shakes public confidence in his picking ability. Not that Young falls below the requirements of a first class mentor. All things must be considered in making a selection, however. One of the main principles, by which a mentor can be considered a candidate for an All-American coach is, his ability to turn out a winning team, or a team that makes a creditable showing. Coach Young did neither. He did not turn out a winning team, nor did his 1925 eleven make any noticeable showing against any real opposition. When it is said that any individual is an All-American coach one gets that idea that the person named turned out a whale of a good team. OTHER CANDIDATES There are a number of other coaches who deserve preference, over Young, of Lincoln. What teams made better showings on the gridiron than West Virginia, Howard, Tuskegee and Hampton Sawyer these teams had coaches, Hamblin, Watson, Abbott and Smith, of the schools previously mentioned, respectively, turned out teams that made the heat records of the season. Take the case of Tuskegee what coach has turned in a more brilliant record? None. Yet Young is picked as an All-American coach. A coach may possess all abilities required of his position, his team is looked upon as the result of these abilities. A coach's ability is reflected then big team and that is the medium than which, the experts and critics base their deductions. BASKETBALL OFFICIALS The officiature at the Shaw-Community Five basketball game, Friday night of last week, was absolutely punk. The only advantage in it was, the substantiating of the claim that there is a great demand for local basketball officials, especially since the formation of the Journal and Guide League. Organizing this league makes the demand greater as there will be basketball from December until March. There will be a great deal of expense attached to sending out of town for an official. The only way this can be avoided is by securing white officials here in town or by developing officials among our own group. There are a number here who would no doubt, make excellent officials, if given a chance. Even though the officiating was punk at the game mentioned the referee was not one of our group. There isn't a doubt that some one of us would have served with equal efficiency. Reader writes to ask, "Who are some of the greatest ball carriers on the gridiron?" Fritz Pollard, Red Grange and Jazz Byrd are the cream of the ball carriers. If they are not the greatest, there are few, if any better.

Love, who at the time had just finished a vaudeville tour of fifty-five consecutive weeks, claims that he was placed in an embarrassing position many times during his vaudeville tour when, in the course of interviews for the press, he was naturally asked all sorts of questions about Hollywood and had to admit he had never even seen the place. When he returned to the east, following the completion of his work in "The Ancient Highway", he was able to convert more knowingly of the "home of the movies." Jack Holt and Billie Dove complete the trio of players featured in the picture, an outdoor romance with scenes laid in the logging country around Quebec. THE BOX A. JOHNSON, JR ry Greb in a titular affair, but the Georgian Deacon and his manager wouldn't even give an affair of that kind a tumble until the championship melle has been staged. Mons. Dave is somewhat of a dangerous character. We do not believe that he would give Flowers the "kaye". One thing certain, he does not bear trifling with. Dave really jumped into the sportive spotlight when he quickly finished Jimmy Slattery and staged a grand stand against Mickey Walker, the welter-king. Flowers would have a great deal to lose by taking a tumble at the hands of any scraper before his fight with Greb and that promised one with Paul Berlenback. Doye has been fitting through the air to the effect that Norfolk will witness its first outdoor track meet since the one staged here by the Y. M. C. A., when that, now defunct organization was under the direction of Mr. Daney. This bit of news, though uncertain, is hailed with joy. If such an event is staged, it will be another step Norfolk has taken in the athletic world. A track meet here would not be devoid of any attention. There is a good bunch of material here that would furnish many thrills for those who love the lure of the cinder path. The high school has a good bit of material and the Norfolk Athletic Club has some stuff to exhibit. It could be made a Tidewater affair, taking in Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth and Norfolk. A number of truck men will be found in all these cities. Own Your Build It Per Gloria Starred in "Stage Struck" at Attucks Theatre "Stage Struck," the Allan Dwan production for Paramount which comes to the Attacks next Monday and Tuesday is a broad comedy with Gloria Swanson as a waitress in a small factory town on the Ohio River. She is smitten with Lawrence Gray, a pancake artist in the lunch room, who is fond of actresses. To make a more favorable impression on the young fellow, Gloria is doing a correspondence school course in stage acting and is given a chance to show what she can do when one of the famous floating theatres which ply their way over the broad waters of the Ohio arrives in town. The scenes that follow, in which Gloria clowns all over the acts in all sorts of get-ups, are said to be far up and beyond anything fans saw in "Manhandled." "The Hummingbird," "Zaza" or, for that matter, any of the star's previous pictures. "Stage Struck," was written especially for Miss Swanson by Frank R. Adams.

C.—In order not to be outdone by the showing that the Freshman made in the preliminary game with the Manchester Cubs, the Howard Varsity club came through with a last minute victory of one point over the Simmons College quintet, of Louisville, Kentucky, at the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium here this afternoon, Saturday, January 16th with the score 21-20. It was a hard fought game from the start to the finish. Both teams were as evenly matched as one could wish, and the victor was only a matter of who could squeeze on the lost basket. First one team would be ahead and then the other would jump to the front by a one point margin which grew as much as two point now and then. Neither team could score for the first five minutes of the game and the excitement of the fans was constantly directed up by a long shot from either team. It was plain to see that if was ip and tack throut, the battle. In the first half Howard scored the first basket only to be evaded by a field goal by the visitors. Near the end of the half the Simmons boys were two points in front only to be passed by the home team and led by three points the largest margin of the game, at the end of the half with the score 15-12.

HAGGIE 730 CHURCH STREET NORFOLK, VIRGINIA SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1920 RACE SITUATION IN SOUTH SHOWS IMMOVEMENT Health, Civic Advantages, Legal Aid, Elimination of Conflict Engage Efforts of Good Will Groups. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 20—That the South, through its interracial movement, is making an important contribution toward the problems of racial adjustment around the world, is indicated by the report just issued by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, with headquarters in this city. Not only are interracial conditions being rapidly improved throughout the South, along the lines of better understanding, elimination of conflict, educational provisions, public utilities, justice in the courts, and the like, but, according to the report the movement is being studied abroad with great interest because of its possible duplication to similar situations in Africa, India, and elsewhere. A parallel movement, under government auspices, has already resulted in South Africa, says the report, bringing together the British and the natives for conference and cooperation in the solution of mutual problems. Entitled "Progress in Race Relation," the report is a sixteen-page pamphlet, packed with stories of concrete achievements. The provision of better Negro schools has been a major objective everywhere, followed closely by efforts for better sanitation, hospital accommodations, street improvement, library and playground facilities, justice in the courts, the care of delinquents, improved conditions of travel, and other advantages essential to the development of the colored race in character and efficiency. Assistance has been rendered in at least a hundred school building enterprises involving from $1,000 to $150,000 each. Nine playgrounds and two public parks have been provided and street improvements have been made in eighteen cities. Interracial committees have assisted in the prevention of threatened lynchings in a number of instances, other tense situations have been cleared up, and legal aid has been tendered in many cases of injustice. In the effort to mobilize public sentiment against lynching, the Commission has distributed thirty thousand pamphlets, has communicated two or more times with every sheriff in the South, and has assisted in a Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc.

The subject of race relations is being brought to the attention of students in Southern colleges thus sixty curriculum courses and many volunteer discussion groups, committees of women are active in all the states, and information has been given to the general public as widely as possible through the daily and religious press. After recounting some of the difficulties confronted, the report concludes, "It is evident, even to a casual observer, that great advances are being made. Certainly there is ground for discouragement, but on the contrary the continued urge of great need and limitless opportunity." KOLLEGE KID SAYS-- A Writer Some of the dames are saying, only clean shaven men for me and the cleaner, the better. It looks like to me that if this thing spreads a- mong all the women that we, of the opposite and stronger sex will soon have nothing by which to distinguish ourselves. With the coming of the bobhair and knickers, telling a man from a woman has become a matter of guess work. If this thing keeps up, the time will soon come when the barber will have to ask everybody who comes in his place whether they want a haircut or shave, unless it is somebody who happens to be wearing a dress. Then it would be a matter of guess work. From what can be observed round and about Norfolk, lot of them what is wearing pants ought to be wearing dresses and vice versa. This ain't casting an reflections on anybody, but it's rather hard to tell who's who. Jock says, a kiss with a mustache is as soulful as a one without. More so, because there's a certain sensation a mustache produces that a clean shaven face won't. And Kemp chimes in, that a kiss without a mustache is like a mule without feet—no kick. After listening in on the radios for quite awhile, I've come to the conclusion that they're a wonderful invention. But to tell the truth, they sound like a bunch of 1910 Fords on a parade. One bright correspondent writes in to say that a certain student has returned to school to CONSUME her studies. Heh-heh, don't you love that. Wonder if she ever has indigestion. Say, 'twas dark in the parlor, There wasn't a muffled plea— I say 'twas dark in the parlor, But how did Tallahassee? "Nobody knows what a redhead mama can do" until you're "All Alone." You can change a fool, But a dawggone Mule— Kicks until he dies. Prohibition is still as successful as it was in the beginning. Yours, until Volstead Acts.

Sunday, "God's Immortality, and Eternity," was the subject of Rev. Allen's discourse. The Bank St. chair rendered in a manner that was thoroughly enjoyable the sacred cantata, "The Dawn of Christmas," at the evening services. On next Sunday morning, Rev. M. R. Mason, now conducting a revival at First Calvary will fill the pulpit of Bank St. at the morning service. In the evening, Rev. E. E. Smith, of Zion Baptist Church, Portsmouth, will preach his now famous sermon on the subject of "Dancing." Rev. Smith has for some years made a careful investigation from many angles on this social amusement for the young people in the manner in which it is looked upon by the church and is prepared to give some interesting information on it. As an orator of more than usual ability, Rev. Smith stands among those who are at the head of the list. Visitors are cordially welcome to all services at Bank St. M.T.

Bowling, spoke from the text, Luke 16: 9, subject, "The Eternal Tabernacles." This was as usual a well prepared and thoughtful message. As he preached our hearts were made to rejoice. One new addition was made to the membership. Following the sermon two candidates were baptized. At 3:30 a large crowd gathered to commemorate the death and suffering of our Saviour. The Holy Spirit was in our midst, all being thankful for the privilege of being present at the first communion of the year. The right hand of fellowship was extended to four new members. Again, at seven thirty, our doors swung ajar for the closing services of the day. This message was delivered by our beloved pastor.

Among other things, the speaker said: "My life is a continuous flow of opportunities and responsibilities. No man lives for himself alone, but for each of his fellows." At night, the picture Ben Hur, was shown. It was highly instructive. Those who failed to hear Rev. Columbus Maxwell on last Sunday missed a rare treat. He spoke from the text: John 3:16. Many beautiful stories of love were cited that of Romeo and Juliet, of Dionon and Pythias and a few practical incidents revealing parental love and care. In concluding, Rev. Maxwell pointed out the great love of Jesus, who gave His life that sinners—those who had rebelled against God—might be saved. At night, a modern reproduction of the Ten Commandments was shown. With the scenes Rev. Clark made instructive remarks. A dramatic and social club, has been organized among the young men. Membership is not confined to the church. Plans for a similar organization among the young women are being formulated. In Tidewater Virginia The Drive Is On--NOW! And Is To End In a Mass Meeting at Monumental A. M. E.

Man Who Too His Money Anoth (Continued from Fear year sentence in the but the lower court he under advisement for and nine months, req year sentence in the penitentiary, but the lower court kept the case under advisement for two years and nine months, requiring the defendant to appear for renewal of bond at the opening of each term of court. Finally, on November 25, 1925, the lower court decided to allow the sentence of two years to stand. Appeal was again taken to the higher court, which on Wednesday of last week again sent it back on a wait of error. Madam Louetta Chatman Delights In Her Recita An appreciative audience listened with delight to a recital by Madam Louetta Chatman Tuesday evening at St. John's A. M. E. Church. Madam Chatman thrilled her auditors by the range and sweetness of her voice. Her technique and execution apparently was faultless. Butts' attorneys set out in the first instance that he could not be convicted of robbery or attempted robbery for taking his own money. Case Sets a Record In several particular Butts' case sets a record. It is one of the few instances in which a common laborer has been able to keep his cause before the courts for so long a period, and it is one of the few instances in which the highest court of the State has twice sent a case to the lower court. Madam Chattman ranks as a foremost coloratura soprano soloist, and is attracting wide attention by her ability to interpret and render with evident satisfaction to her listeners the difficult compositions of such famous composers as Rubinstein, Weber, Maybeer and others, with the spirituals of Burleigh. The audience went away captured over Madam Chattman's singing. In granting the writ of error Wednesday the Supreme Court promised another and final review of the case.

Electric and Power Company officials have stated, it was said, that the company did not have sufficient reserve buses to replace every bus withdrawn under Major Truxtun's order. Although the colored bus routes were the hardest hit by the removal order, it is reported that both city and traction officials are of the opinion that these routes had been over-bused. The colored public does not agree with any such opinion, however. It is felt upton that one of the prime needs for improved service on these lines for a long time has been more buses. Served Large Territory The majority of Norfolk's colored population of 59,000 people live in the territory served by the 18th street and Douglass Park bus lines. The population in this territory is increasing rapidly, and the residents of this section look with anxious concern upon the idea of curtailed transportation service to their territory. City Manager Truxtun's order came as the next move in the efforts of the city to give Norfolk unified transportation service under the management of the Virginia Electric and Power Company. The ordinance under which this service would be inaugurated provided that all independent buses that can pass the City Manager's examination as to fitness for continued service, must be purchased by the traction company. The 11 buses owned by colored operators that failed to pass the examination will in all probability be left on the hands of their owners, whose business the unified transportation will wipe out, in event the ordinance successfully emerges from the court tests to which it is being subjected. Colored Public Suffers There were many colored citizens, who, although entertaining the urmost sympathy for the colored bus operators, felt during the pre-voting days on the bus ordinance referendum that in event the city and traction company should win, that would probably mean better service to the colored sections. This feeling was enhanced by the positive pledges given by traction officials. Disillusionment seems to be dawning upon these people through the events of the past few days. They are wondering if it is really a fact that the colored people are to be the greatest sufferers from whatever transportation irregularity that might occur during the period of transition from independent to unified transportation service. Even though there is no inclination to question the fairness or efficacy of City Manager Truxtun's examination of the buses, it is felt that public interest demanded that these buses be permitted to continue in service until they could either be replaced by traction company machines or better conditioned buses under independent operation. It is the sudden curtailment of the service that arouses their fears as to probable inconvenience. The traction company, however, has promised to take care of the situation as quickly as possible. Jury Places Responsibility Leroy Strother, a 11-year old boy, who resided at 1304 Chapel street, next door to the grocery store of Israel Banks, was shot and killed by Banks in his store on Monday afternoon, January 4. Banks told the police that the shooting was the tragic outcome of his playful attempt to frighten the boy with a pistol. He was said to have admitted that the child was arguing with him over payment for putting away some wood. Banks then reached under the counter, draw his pistol and told the boy to leave the store, it is said. He pointed the weapon at the boy with the result that a bullet ploughed through the little fellow's forehead, killing him instantly. Savs Grocer Frowned At the coroner's inquest Tuesday afternoon little Joseph Reid, 8 years old, of Golf street, a playmate of the Strouter child, made a very interesting witness. Joseph told the jury that when Leroy had finished putting away the wood for Banks, the latter paid him off with a nickel, placing the coin on the counter. Leroy looked at it, he said, shook his head and told Banks he wanted more money than that for putting away all th at wood. Joseph said Leroy began to numb an argument over his pay, when Banks told him, "all right, you keep hanging around here and I will give you more pay." At that, the child testified. Banks reached behind the counter called his nis SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1928 tol, aimed it at Leroy and pulled the trigger. Joseph said he ran from the store when Leroy fell and hollered, "dare, Leroy is dead." When asked by a member of the coroner's jury if he was sure that Banks was angry, Joseph said Leroy was mad, he wanted more money than that, adding, Mr. Banks' face "was all frowned up." In answer to the question of what he was doing hanging around the store, Joseph said he played with Leroy and was waiting for him to get his money, so they both could go to the movies. Banks' colored nurse girl, who is known by the name of Mary, and who claims to have been an eyewitness to the shooting, told the coroner's jury that the merchant was twirling the pistol around in his hand when it exploded. It is claimed, however, that she has on several occasions previously told persons the identical story told by little Joseph Reid. The coroner's jury, which was presided over by Dr. McDonald, held Banks responsible for the child's death, but expressed an opinion that the killing was unintentional. Sunday afternoon at St. John's A. M. E. Church, the second mass meeting in the drive of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. to raise a legal defense fund was attended by a large and enthusiastic audience. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News, and Rev. E. E.

"This talk is intended for those who think seriously on social standards and are willing to act wisely and tangibly to crush the a n t i Christian standard in the membership of the Christian Church. "Social standards are debated daily in almost every home and social circle of numerous activities in communities. Everybody is a proving or disproving the standards accepted or rejected by various individuals and this is a significant thing for out of these conditions choice is influenced. The standard of Christianity must be practically interpreted in terms of social activities or society will lose the value of the Christian Church. Everybody in the community and church thinks and feels that if every one else were as he is the community and church would be ideal. And those who howl the most about their unusual solves, in respect to their high ideals and ability to do the unusual, have to their credit in social activities a minimum success. These Christians? are like automobiles—run offs." "The sons of Zobede having thus considered themselves—selected first honors—rang to Jesus and made application for positions of great men without records of service. He that is greatest among you let him be the slave (doulas) of all, was the standard they ignorantly opposed.

Quick Lunches A Speciality CLARENCE RUFFIN, Proprietor the abundant life which Jesus came to give and the facilities necessary to place it in the reach of men will not be the churches to give with a lot of "hallelujah 'tis done," handed down from the pulpit—followed up with a five and ten cent parade to the collection table in a beautiful display of gowns. This age is not one whit ahead of Jesus, but if we don't invest a tenth of our income in facilities of amusements, recreation and institutions for Christian education, orphans and unfortunate women, the age is going to get ahead of us—old mosspacked, would-be Christian folks. "The womanhood of our race has practically no physical facilities of protection—when a young woman falls she is doomed and damned! She is the prey of gossip and contentment of both races. They are without sympathy, interest or restoration, even among Christians. The scandals along this line are given to the breezes u n d every young women, no matter how chast, has to walk the streets under the shadow of shame for the fortunate of her kind. It is a shame! The hope and the opportunity to protect Negro womanhood are in the Negro church. Is it not time to organize a society to locate in all of our large city homes for fortunate girls and protect the young women of the race? Yes, it takes practical religion to do it. Consuming sermons, recommendations of exclusion from the deacon board and 'goodly gossip' lectures in the absence of facilities are meaningless. Real love backed up by the U.

"Men and women in other walks of life not all of them) but enough to greatly hinder the progress of Christianity, are in the church for social status. For instance, because, some fall short of the boost and notoriety they desire in funerals they become eternal enemies to the church. I have observed in many sections ridiculous performances in this connection. I have known church officers at the head of Lodges—against the will and wish of those of deceased, to keep out bodies for a whole week to have a big funeral on Sunday—and anybody with a half grain of sense (whatever that is) can see that the whole thing is a boost for the lodge and an advertisement for membership. These things destroy the deep spiritual fervor and admiration that should cement the hearts of men while in the conscious presence of duty, under the spell of inspiration, showered upon them through earnest prayer, thrilling songs and clever thinking, robed in flaming eloquence that would burn into their lives an appreciation for the highest good—change their thinking from a minimum success into channels of practical ethics—that deepens the health tones, clarifies the atmosphere of conscience—and here is the jewel of Christianity, a clear conscience—for a good conscience, with a safe grasp on the greatness of ones purpose and its ability to ultimately triumph is a bomb-proof trench for the soul—and what shall I say more. If the standard of Christianity is given standing room in every man's life it will lift in him a standard of thinking, that faces the reverses of life with an attitude that "none of these things move me." "The average Negro church's standard of financial support is anti-Christian. The great object of the Christian Church is not to pay a pastor a salary and a few other helps an incidentals of the church. The Christian program world-wide, r-sourceful and its resourcefulness is to be backed up with resources sufficient to subdue weakness among men, autocracy among nations, ignorance and suppression among heathens, encouraging widows, protecting orphans, befriending the unfortunate. The Negro church needs a new channel through which to express its enthusiasm. Empty effervescent enthusiasm cures the power of the Negro church to render tangible service. "We can't have great accessions to the church now adays preaching about Hell. People are not afraid of Hell anymore. They have told each other to go there so much without success until they seriously cave any dread. The older people use to tell in their experiences of crossing Hell on a rotten spider web, but these young Negroes beat that, they think they cross Hell without webb, show of suck, and you can't scare them.

PASTOR TRIEST TO EJECT MEMBER; STRIFE ARISES Factional Strife Said To Be Smouldering Over Jersey Minister's Receipt Summoning Policeman, To Church. Jersey City, N. J.—Much factional feeling has been stirred up here over the attempt of the Rev. William A. Byrd, pastor of the elite Lafayette Presbyterian Church to have a policeman eject Miss Inez Branham, chair member and daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. W. C. Branham, and her mother from the church during the morning services on Sunday, January 3. When not a member of the congregation showed inclination to remove to call a policeman to remove the mother and daughter at the request of the policeman Rev. Byrd was said to have divested himself of ecclesiastical jobs, put on his hat, went into the street and himself summoned a cop, whom he ordered to eject Miss and Mrs. Branham. The police man, however, was very polite and declined to disturb the worshippers. The trouble between the pastor and Miss Branham seems to have arisen over the young woman's refusal to accept her discharge from the choir by the pastor without basing his actions upon any charges against her. Reports state that the pastor is bent on reorganizing the choir to his liking, and claims under choir rules have sole authority over that body, summarily fired Miss Branham, and declined to assign any reason for his actions, it was said. Miss Branham's mother joined her daughter in protest against the pastor's dictum, and encouraged her to refuse to vacate her choir seat. There is a group among the church membership that concedes to the pastor the authority to reorganize his choir as he sees, but none of them is in sympathy with the unchristianlike attitude of the pastor's disobeying himself, going into the street and calling a policeman. Lafayette Presbyterian Church is known as a high society church, among its membership some of the oldest and most influential families in the city. Installation of Rev. Long At Orange,N.

Commission On Interracial Cooperation Units of progress in race relations, international amity do not lend them perceptible computation in a single tenants and agreements in international relationships may be promulicated instead in a day or week. New voices among a Christian fellowship in intersections for forth almost daily. In the measurement of progress in men's ways and hearts to require not a single year but a years, maybe a century. Nevertheless, there is no doubting that the Commission on Interracialism is accomplishing a wonderful South in spite of the entomology to which it has addressed itself. A visual report, "Progress In Race Relations which come to our desk is a statistic. In every state in the South Commission has carried its educational, pleading for interracial tolerant supplanting of racial strife with Christian brotherhood. The report shows a biopicous progress has been made, causes of helpful contact between the raised up; new opportunities of laboration made available to colored probably the most valuable income of all has been the sound address relations the Commission has held through the public press: It clearly stated that when prominent and women of the South speak on questions, the Southern press cares their speeches. The Commission interracial Cooperation has not overt an advantage in spreading its cultural program. Mr. R. B. Eleazer, the director, is the kind of propaganda ultimately moves men to better live. Units of progress in race relations or international amity do not lend themselves to a perceptible computation in a single year. Covenants and agreements in international relationships may be promulgated and signed in a day or week. New voices proclaiming a Christian fellowship in interracial relations pool forth almost daily. But a definite measurement of progress in the reform of men's ways and hearts toward men requires not a single year but a cycle of years, maybe a century. Nevertheless, there is no doubling the fact that the Commission on Interracial Cooperation is accomplishing a wonderful work in the South in spite of the enormity of the task to which it has addressed itself. Its annual report, "Progress In Race Relations," which has come to our desk is a study in optimism. In every state in the South the Commission has carried its educational campaign, pleading for interracial tolerance; the supplanting of racial strife with Christian brotherhood. The report shows that conspicuous progress has been made, new avenues of helpful contact between the races opened up; new opportunities of labor and education made available to colored people, and probably the most valuable accomplishment of all has been the sound addresses on race relations the Commission has broadcast through the public press. It can be frankly stated that when prominent white men and women of the South speak on public questions, the Southern press eagerly carries their speeches. The Commission on Interracial Cooperation has not overlooked such an advantage in spreading its educational program. Mr. R. B. Eleazer, educational director, is the kind of propagandist that ultimately moves men to better lives. Roland Hayes And His Mixed Audiences Roland Hayes has become one of his most famous and outstanding tical stars are among the fewest inns. There are millions of musi they are of small magnitude, how soldom reach the heights "by brave Roland Hayes has become one of the world's most famous and outstanding tenors. Musical stars are among the fewest in the heavens. There are millions of musicians, but they are of small magnitude, however, and soldom reach the heights "by brave men sought and won." The Salvini and Caruso group of songsters always has but a few of the real stars in it. Roland Hayes happens to be in the group at this time. He get into it by hard study and sacrifice and labor. And he is not white nor near white. He is black. More; Mr. Hayes is just as sensitive about his reputation and things which affect it as musical artists are famous for being. When he appears in the North and West there is never any question about where members of his race who want to hear him shall sit. They sit where they wish and are able to pay for the privilege. That is as it should be. He does not expect that the color line shall be drawn on his audiences in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and the like. It goes as a matter of fact that persons will pay for what they want and sit where they pay to sit. That is as it should be. When Mr. Hayes has sung in the South during the present and the past year, there has been more or less friction on account of drawing the color line, or attempting to draw it, at his recitals. The latest case was in Washington, and those concerned had to hustle to keep down trouble and break the color bar arrangements. Naturally the great artist could not be at his best in recital after a hot fight to prevent himself and race from being discriminated against and humiliated at the artist's own recital. The case would be precisely the same if a Jewish, or French, or Polish artist should be asked to appear in recital when he knew that members of his nace would be discriminated against and humiliated in the seating, and none of those artists with any race pride whatsoever would tolerate any such discrimination. Why expect Roland Hayes to do so simply because he is black. It is stupid, it is idiotic, to do so. When the social equality bugaboo is carried into civil and economic service and accommodation it shows that it is not only unjust but maliciously foolish. Editorial Page of The Caprices of Prejudice Race prejudice manifests itself sometimes in rare forms. The newspapers generally magnify these exhibitions and if one pay too much heed to them one will get the impression that the position of the disad vantaged races of the world is growing much worse. Such is not actually the case. The most noticeable exhibitions of racial intolerance in the United States recently were the rejection of organic union between the Northern and Southern Methodists, and the lynching of a man in Mississippi who had just been acquitted of crime by a jury. There have been manifestations of it recently in less aggravated but no less serious forms. A large dry goods store in Richmond sent out notice that it was putting in effect a rule that "No merchandise will be tried or colored trade." If a colored person wishes to buy a pair of shoes, a hat or any other garment in that store such person must pay for the garment and take chances on being fitted. An inquisitive American asks Dr. S Parkes Cadman to answer for him in his Daily Counsel column in the New York Tribune the question, "Would you sit down to a course dinner with Negroes of good reputation?" To the inquirer's disappointment, no doubt, Dr. Cadman answered in the affirmative. On the other hand there are evidences almost daily that racial prejudice is giving way to tolerance and common sense. Four thousand young people of the white Southern Methodist Church, assembled at Memphis a few days ago went on record with the declaration that "devisive, unbrotherly attitudes as between races must be duplicated by the spirit of generosity, service and mutual respect." "We must abide by the principles of Jesus," the young people declared. They are right, and some day they will be in the majority. Race prejudice manifests itself sometimes in more forms.

The Higher Education of the Unfit Many of the great universities of the country have had to give unusual consideration to the admission of students because of the increased number of those who apply for admission and more consideration will have to be given, as the pressure on the schools of higher education is growing greater every year. The problem has reduced itself to the wisdom of giving opportunity for such education to persons who are not likely to make the most of it to the exclusion of those who are likely to make the most of it. It is claimed that the number of the unfit who crowd out those who are fit is growing and that some way must be found to reduce it. There is no question about it that a great number of persons manage to get a university degree who do not need it and who do not make the most of it, and are no credit to themselves or the schools from which the degrees were secured in the regular way. And this applies to our group as well as to the white groups. It is not a question of race but of the fit and the unfit. It is a difficult matter to judge a student according to his possibilities, and students are not always the best judges of what sort of education they should have and are liable to make the most of. Their parents should be the best judges, but they are often blinded by their interest in the children and the hope they have in them, to judge wisely. Most fathers want their sons to go to the schools they graduated from and to which they are proud, but these sons are not always mentally endowed as their fone parents to succeed in the higher education. Parents should study their children carefully, so that by the time they have finished the high school course it would be easy to determine what sort of education the youngsters should have. Find out what the youngsters have the greatest aptitude for and if they have none strive to help them to get and develop the proper sort. Business, the professions, the ministry, agriculture, the trades, all require a different sort of training after the students have left the high schools and the parents should be the best judges of whether the youth should have a university education or a specialized education. When the parents are unable to do this the schools to which the students are sent should be able to determine by rigid examination whether they are seeking the right sort of school, and if not, reject them and tell them the sort of school they should attend. Our race is suffering much from the educating of the unfit who do not know what to do with the higher education they have secured in order to make the best use of such talents as they have, and we meet them every time we turn around or have to do with them in any way.

Southern Press News and Color Bar The business of a newspaper and of a reporter and of a news agency is to get and arrange and publish the news. What is news? News is any happening in which people are interested. Some news is local other national and other international in character. It depends upon the newspaper as to which news it shall give the greater consideration and space. There has been much complaint from time to time, and covering a long period of years, that the Associated Press, the most important news gathering agency in the country and one of the greatest in the world, systematically discriminated in its news as to the race and color of those concerned. This complaint has been directed more explicitly towards the The business of a newspaper and of a reporter and of a news agency is to get and arrange and publish the news. What is news?

There has been much complaint from time to time, and covering a long period of years, that the Associated Press, the most important news gathering agency in the country and one of the greatest in the world, systematically discriminated in its news as to the race and color of those concerned. This complaint has been directed more explicitly towards the work of the Associated Press in the Southern states, which it covers almost exclusively. To the direct charge that Southern news was doctored on the color line the Associated Press has made denial, but the fact remains just the same. The fault, of course, is in the gathering and distributing the news in the territory affected. Very generally the color line is drawn in the Southern news gathering and distribution, not only for local but for national and international consumption. The British and other European news is often colored in the same way as it relates to certain races and colors of the people concerned. Especially is this true in European treatment of the news as it relates to the Jews. Southern news through the Associated Press is dumped into the Atlanta offices and then into the Washington offices and then generally distributed, we understand. When it starts on its final journey it is sufficiently doctored in favor of the white side of the matter as to make for untruth or enough confusion as to the facts as to keep the reader guessing. This aspect of the matter will be denied, but the fact remains. Last week two of the crack trains of the East Coast Railroad were in collision in Florida, at Frontenac. Three persons were killed. One was the fireman and two were porters on the private car of W. C. Durant, the millionaire automobile man, who was badly shaken up and bruised but not seriously injured. Millions of readers of the daily newspapers must have wondered why the names of the persons who were killed were not given in the news dispatches. They were not given because they were deliberately omitted from the report when it was finally released. Why? Because the two porters and, presumably, the fireman, were all Afro-Americans. It was not deemed of sufficient importance to give their names, because of their color, although Afro-Americans are among the most general of readers of the daily newspapers in the Northern and Western states. This may appear to be a small matter to many, and so it is, but it involves a very big principle of news gathering and distribution. It is in a class with the rule which obtains in the same service and in the daily newspaper offices of the South, that no Afro-American shall be referred to in the news or opinions as "Mr." or "Mrs." Anything but that. The Southern thinkers who gather and distribute Southern news and make Southern opinions should be above such malicious smallness. We should have fairplay in the news at least and we should contend for it. THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Visited By A Foreigner It was a Sabbath afternoon. He was a foreigner.

A North Carolina lawyer, Mr. Kirby, argues before a Pennsylvania judge, degree not specified, that a grand jury indictment against one Sandy Huser, in Forsyth county, is illegal and void because Huser is a Negro and Negroes do not serve on grand juries in Forsyth, the lawyer adding the declaration that there has not been a Negro in a pet jury in the whole state for more than twenty years.

The Pittsburgh judge so apparently was interested in the declar- the barrier of our difference in language and made known the object of his visit. But I was curious to know more of this intelligent young man of another race, another nationality, another language, possi bly another religion. To my surprise, I found out that after all he was not so much of a "foreigner." He had lived in our land for many years. I had learned enough of our action that in this state Negroes "have been disfranchised despite all their rights, this clearly in violation of the constitution of the United States." The judge agreed with the attorney. At least he concluded from what the lawyer said that the Negro would not be given a fair trial in this state if returned here, the proceedings being by habes corpus after the governor of Pennsylvania had honored requisition papers from the governor of North Carolina. From the limited information at hand it may be assumed that what occurred is essentially that the question was raised whether under circumstances as they exist an indictment of a Negro by a grand jury in this state is in conformity with the provisions of the constitution of the United States; members of the Negro race not being employed in jury service although, for instance, in Forsyth, as it was pointed out there are 26,000 Negroes in a population of 77,000, many of the Negroes competent to serve on juries and they paying taxes on over $4,000,000 of property in the county. Moreover, the judicial conclusion seems to have been reached that such an indictment does in fact contravene the provisions of the federal constitution. The principal significance of the raising and disposition of the proposition is probably to be found in the fact that the prisoner, whose indictment was for violation of the prohibition law and who is wanted "as a witness against the operations of a big bootlegger ring in this state," had the good fortune or the good sense to be represented suitably by counsel, and the means to employ counsel. Should the circumstances become genetically known, this same Pittsburgh jurisdiction is likely to become popular as a place of refuge for persons of color escaping from the arm of the law South of the line. Deceived By A Nordic From the Springfield Republican. Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinelander might score heavily by suing her husband because he did not take pains before their marriage to tell her he was a white man. Waste of Timber Resources While nothing can excuse the prodigal waste of lumber in Ameries during the recent years, it is worthy of note that a new source of wood substitute has been discovered in the waving fields of sugar cane. Synthetic wood is being made, that is, from crushed cane stalks after the sugar has been extracted. This new industry is spreading from the center of the sugar country in Virginia over the valley of the Mississippi, and it is reported that from one $3,000,000 cane wood plant in that region more than 200,000,000 feet of wood substitute is being shipped out in a year. This potential source of "lumber" is known technically as bagasse, and it has been tried and found wanting in a number of other directions. It is a troublesome waste product and the attempt has been made to utilize it as fertilizer, live-stock food and fuel, but without success. Now it seems that not only has a use been found for it, but an exceedingly great need is in process of being met thereby. BookChat "THE SAILOR RETURN." By David Garnett. Published by Alfred A. Knopf. $2.00. In New York City. Price $2.00. By mail. $2.10. I may seem to be chatting a good deal about novels when more serious books on the Negro remain on my shelves yet unreviewed, but this is the season for books "in lighter vein" and I know of no more entertaining and touching recent novel dealing with the Negro than this of Garnett's. Garnett is an Englishman, a writer who loves phantasy. "The E Sailor's Return," with Merrick's "Quaint Companions," which I have already reviewed, draws a delightful picture of a colored man and a colored woman out of his and her usual environment. While these two stories are not in the least alike, one places them together because of their delicacy of touch and their artistry. The sailor, William Targett, returns to England from a long voyage in foreign parts. With him as his traveling companion is a black man carrying a large basket. You meet the two first on the train out of Southampton where, alone in the carriage, the basket is opened and a little black boy jumpa out. He has lain quietly, without crying, a tribute to jungle-reared babies throughout the trip. You soon learn that the black man is a woman, Tulip, William's wife, and that the little black boy is their own. They had an exciting courtship in Dahomey, and Tulip, who is a King's daughter, brought her husband a small fortune in gold and ivory. Now they are in a land wholly new to Saturday, January 23, 1926 PREJUDICE AND LOGIC By KELLY MILLER In the American Mercury for November, I contributed an article on the Negro as a laborer. In the course of the treatment, I stated that in dealing with the race problem, we find that logic and good sense are often at variance with each other. The editor of Opportunity takes A. B. C. exception to this assertion and seems to think that the two can always be worked as a part of the same formula. Race prejudice is essentially unreasonable. The very etymology of the word "prejudice" shows that judgment precedes investigation and analysis which violates all of the rules of logic and orderly thinking It affects the mind as a demoniac possession. It heeds none of the rules and laws of thought. When prejudice enters the mind, reason takes fight. The victims of prejudice can hardly act naturally nor normally but must founder about for a feasible course of action as the circumstances under which they labor will allow. I live in the city of Washington which separates the provisions for educating on the basis of race. I do not believe in this plan of division among American citizens. If I should follow the logic of my belief to its ultimate conclusion, I would either pay for my children's private education or let them grow up in ignorance. But my good sense steps in and causes me to violate the integrity of my conviction and send my children to the jim-crow schools as provided by law. I clearly remember when Mr. Rockefeller gave the first twenty five thousand dollars to help build the colored Young Men's Christian Association in the city of Washington, sundry of our logically minded citizens refused to contribute to the enterprise or to have any relations to it on the ground that it was but the thin edge of the wedge of race discrimination. To one such objector I asked if he felt that colored men would be given needed advantages at the white Association. This he conceded that at present was unthinkable. But he Tulip and one where she feels little at home. The story of this strangely assorted but happy couple ends in sorrow. Tulip soon encounters, from her husband's sister, as much race antagonism as she would receive had she been in Georgia. If she had been poor, a servant, there would have been no word against her, but Targett dresses her in beautiful clothes and together they go on gay, unicivilized good times, such as swimming naked in the ocean, and accordingly shock many in the prim little town. The sorrow that comes to them, however, is the sorrow of accident, not of any loss of trust and affection. In both Merrick's and Garnett's books England is shown as very unfriendly to the Negro. But perhaps I take them too seriously. Their are tales of imagination and Garnett depicts the English as well as the African in a somewhat phantastic manner. The Poet's Corner Tuskegee There exists in the Southland a wonder, That is sought by the men of all climes, They learn lessons, upon which they ponder. The name of that wonder is Tuskegee, The city where learning and toil, Are dignified, sweetened, enobled, By Afric's dark sons of the toil. Proclaim the creative force there, While her fields all blooming in splendor, Tell of plenty for others to share. Thy fame shall endure, O Tus-keree: wrought this great wonder Lies silent and cold in the tomb; Yet his soul lives, in thy spirit Cuckoo. Tuskegee, And his name in a thousand bright homes. Roland Hayes is a superlative artist, and will serve his voice better if permitted to function before the world as an artist, and not as a professional Negra agitator, declares Dr. Kelly Miller in answer to the demand that Mr. Hayes attempt to exercise control over the seating arrangement in audit oriums where he is to sing. Dr. Miller declares that logic and good sense often are at variance with each other in dealing with the race problem. He points to the large attendance by Negroes in segregated theatres in Washington and segregated public schools, all of which he says might be purely illogical, yet of good sense. It is, coonely, says Dr. Miller, for the Negro to expect Roland Huges "to perfect his art and at the same time fight for our civil rights while we sit impatiently by and wait for him to admit us where we have not the courage to force our own way." felt that the encouraging of a Negro establishment merely postponed the time when all might unite and join in the same facilities. I conceded his logic but questioned his practical wisdom or common sense. Let us take it for granted that every colored Young Men's Christian Association building in the country is illogical and unchristian, and stands as a practical refutation of the doctrine of democracy and Christianity. But under the circumstances by which we are environed who will say that they do not embody the workable principle of sane judgment and good sense? Every institution and organization in the land of a purely racial character and function is essentially illogical and serves to emphasize and perpetuate race distinction which it pretends to despise. The National Negro Urban League falls easily within this category. The semi-detached Negro religious denominations which are a part of and yet apart from the white bodies to which they render allegiance and obedience are wholly illogical. Grim necessity compels the Negro waiver to serve in hotels which exclude his own race and color. The Negro often becomes the proprietor of establishments which discriminate against his So we bid thee God-speed, O Tuskegee. AStrainedOpinion BY C. LAFAYETTE WILLIAM8 The Illinois Supreme Court has just decreed that women of that state are ineligible for jury service, in spite of the 19th Amendment enfranchising them. The opinion of the court says in part: "While the 19th Amendment had the effect of nullifying every expression in the constitution and the laws of the state denying or abridging the right of suffrage of women on account of their sex, it did not purport to have any effect whatever on the subject of liability or eligibility of citizenship for jury service. "The legislature did not intend that the name of any woman should be placed on the jury list and must be held to have intended that the list should be composed of the names of male persons only. We must, therefore, hold that the word 'electors', as used in the statute means male persons only." To the lay mind, the opinion of the honorable court will appear somewhat strained. It seems to hang on the word 'electors', a generic meaning, or a double gender? It is obviously true that the legislature had males in mind when the jury statute was enacted, because at that time, it is assumed, the state had no female electors. But would the legislature have restricted the phraseology of the statute to read 'male electors', in case there had been national woman suffrage at that time? Hardly. The decision of the Illinois Supreme Court is contrary to that rendered on this point by the highest tribunals of other states. The interpretation of the law does not appear to have given consideration to latter day thought on women in government. own flesh and blood. We deplore the necessity of such self-humiliation, but we concede that the victim of race prejudice is prone to act irrationally. In the city of Washington we have a splendid theater and dance hall built for Negroes by a promoter who operates separate play-houses for white and Negro patrons. The entire Negro population of the national capital patronizes the jim-crow theatres wholly unconscious of involved logical absurdity. To cap the climax the populace gives entertainments in these jim-crow theaters to raise funds to fight residential segregation. Race prejudice leads to strange paradoxes. A distinguished colored citizen bednight in a golf outfit, was heard to declare that he would rather die than be found in the separate bathing pool which the city was in the act of providing. On being cross-questioned, it was revealed that he had just come from the city jim-crow golf links. On sundry occasions, I have been invited to address white gatherings at their clubs or places of meeting where no Negro was expected to frequent, except as a servant. I knew that my presence was tolerated only for that particular occasion. Neither myself nor any other member of my race would be welcome the day before or the day after the stated occasion. Should I refuse to render the requested service because the whole establishment was hypocritical on race discrimination and prejudice? What upstanding colored man has not had the same or similar experience? Which should we obey—the rigid exactions of logical consistency or the practical dictates of common sense? The Anglo-Saxon mind never lets the formulas of logic stand between it and the accomplishment of its purpose. When theory conflicts with practice, so much the worse for the theory. The Hebrew race is highly practically minded. Wherever they live among Gentiles and do business among them, they keep open their stores on Saturday which is their saresed Sabbath. I notice running through the press a stream of violent criticism of Roland Hayes because he did not require abolition of race discrimination in places where he was to appear. The Negro race has never before placed such requirement upon any other Negro artist. Bert Williams was in wide demand subject to the conditions of his management. Negro troops are filling engagements in all parts of the country where local distinctions prevail. I used to go to the theatre once a week, as a part of my education. In those days, there was no discrimination in the Washington play-houses. Since the theatres have segregated colored patrons I have not put my foot over their threshold. I fail to understand why any colored persons can claim any right or privilege to hear Mr. Hayes that he does not exercise in case of any other performer. Why should they demand to be given unusual advantage because a Negro is to perform? If they do not like the seating arrangements, why not force the management to remove discrimination on general grounds of this can be done, if not, let them remain away, regardless of the artists might be. It is very unfair to impose upon Mr. Hayes the ones of fighting the race battle in communities where the people have yielded to local regulation by long acceptance. Mr. Hayes is a superlative musical artist. He can best serve his race through the ministration of art. It seems to me cowardly to a pusillanimous degree to expected him to perfect his art and at the same time fight for our civil rights while we sit supinely by and wait for him to admit us where we have not the courage to force our own way. It is a new fact that the race battle is taking. Booker Washington, DuBois, and Dunbar were frequently invited to appear before audiences where colored people were neither accustomed or expected to go. Is it that we wish to limit Mr. Hayes to those civil rights houses where there is race distinction? Or might it not be a wiser philosophy to encourage our great musician to carry the ministration of song even to those places and communities where we may not follow? Ne genuine artist should be expected to interfere with local arrangements. He may not consent to appear if local conditions grate harshly upon his sensibilities. But all of this should be left to his own judgment and discretion. Mr. Hayes is a superlative artist. He will serve his race to better advantage if we permit him to function before the world as an artist, and not as a professional Negro agitator.
