"Trade Week" To Be Observed February 13--20 INSURANCE FIGURES IN BOY'S DEATH---FOSTER PARENTS ARRESTED Fellow The Guide It Leads to Progress TRADE WEEK TO OPEN WITH ENTHUSIASM Monster Celebration At Monumental Church In Memory Of Lincoln And Douglass On February 12. CO-OPERATION OF PUBLIC EXPECTED At Memorialal A. M. E. Church Friday night, February 12th, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People plans to stage a monster anniversary celebration of the births of Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, born on February 14 as time the branch will usher in the celebration of a great Trade Week to run until February 9. Those who are sponsoring this unprecedented celebration have announced that they feel it entirely fitting that they colored people of this city use the anniversaries of these two greatest statesmen and the race's most eminent benefactors to arouse among themselves, a keener interest in their economic and civic welfare. To this end the celebration will be devoted. Object of Trade Week Trade Week is planned to bring forcefully and beneficially to the attention of Norfolk Negroes the wonderful possibilities for economic advancement and solidarity that exist in an intensive and systematic development of their trade and welfare enterprises. The program arranged for the week is educational in its major aspects. It is designed to stimulate higher standards of living, promote thrift and to create the proper valuation of wholesome race consciousness, such as that obviously manifested among all other groups. Special Trade Week Section Every merchant and tradesman in the city is invited and expected to co-operate in this movement, as well as all churches and welfare organizations. The branch has arranged with the Journal and Guide for a special eight-page Trade Week Section in its issue of February 13. Every individual firm or organization engaged in business, the professions and spiritual or social uplift is requested to have a write-up and advertise (National Trade Week Three). WANT LAW STOP RACE BARBERS SERVING WHITES Georgians Get Twisted Idea Of Needs of Sanitation; But Others Believe Econo mie Competition Aggravating. Atlanta, Ga.—The "interests of sanitation" took a peculiar turn here Monday, February 1, when the City Council passed an ordinance prohibiting colored barbers from serving white patrons. This ordinance was backed by the sanitary committee and masquerades under the pretense of being in interest of sanitation. However, there are those who are fanfiliar with the lucrative patronage a number of the down-town barber shops owned by colored people enjoy among the whites, and see in the ordinance just another plain attempt of certain elements to restrict the Negro in economic competition by summary legislation. The ordinance, which yet must be agreed upon by the Mayor, to become law, would become effective on June 1. White Ministers Protest On Tuesday, the day following the passage of the ordinance by the Council, the Evangelical Ministers Association and a conference of Methodist laymen from North Georgia, all white, adopted resolutions protesting against the ordinance as "being unjust to the Negroes." The laymen's resolution read in part: "We deplore the proposed action of the City Council as being unjust to the Negroes to whom we ought to be just and helpful to the limit of our ability, in guaranteeing them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Ministers Association "looks with disfavor upon any ordinance that will prohibit colored barbers from serving white patrons as has always been their custom." Norfolk Journal and Guide Claimed By Death JOHN H. HARRIS Colored people of Norfolk will mourn with their white fellow citizens the death of Judge Thomas L. Wilcox. They have lost a saintly friend and sympathetic counsellor, Judge Wilcox interested himself in the welfare of all the people of the community and all elements of the population have been indebted to him from time to time for services rendered for the public good. As a churchman he would considerable influence in the cultivation of home and foreign mission work, and the development she saw among Negroes in the Episcopal Church has always had his sympathetic support. Likewise he has at various times exerted his influence in behalf of elementary school advantages for the common people, white and colored. Although he was for years a very busy lawyer and business man, he was rarely over too busy to lend a hand in behalf of his fellowman. His passing will be keenly felt by all whose privilege it was to know him. Colored Bar Association Passes Resolutions On Death Of Judge Willcax. At a special meeting called for the purpose in Corporation Court No. 1, at 9:30 Wednesday morning, the Colored Bar Association met and after hearing cogulations on the part of several of its members, the following resolutions were passed in memory of Hon. Thos. H. Willcox: Whereas, God in His Infinite Wisdom has called from our midst our esteemed friend, Thomas H. Willcox, a shining example of the highest type of a citizen and lawyer; and, Whereas, he was a man of lofty ideals regarding public and private life which proved to be a source of inspiration to all who knew him; and, Whereas, by his ability, sincerity of purpose, fidelity, character and integrity, he has established an example of life worthy of emulation by all who would gain the respect and admiration of their fellowman because of devoted and unselfish service; and, Whereas, we the members of the Norfolk Colored Bar Association feel a distinct loss in his demeis. Therefore, Be it resolved, that in his death the profession holds a safe, honest and scrupulous representative; the state and community, an ideal citizen, the world, one of God's noble men. Be it resolved further, that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the books of the minutes of the Colored Bar Association and the Corporation Count as a perpetual memorial of our loss, and a copy be sent to his bereaved family and to the press. Done by order of the Norfolk Colored Bar Association, at a meeting daily called and held at 9:30 o'clock February 8, 1926. J. M. HARRISON, President J. S.

C., Feb. 5.—The Supreme Court of the United States adjourned Monday last to March 1, next without rendering a decision in the case of John Buckley against Mrs. Irene Hand Corynig and Mrs. Helen Curtis, which involved the question of whether or not a group of property owners can enforce an agreement among themselves and running with their property not to sell, rent or lease it to colored persons.

URGES RACE ADJUSTMENT IN VIRGINIA URGES RACE ADJUSTMENT IN VIRGINIA Dr. Walter Russell Bowie. In Founder's Day Speech At Hampton Institute Declares Issues Can Be Sanely Met. LAUDS WORK OF THE RACIAL COMMITTEE "Out of limitation bravely faced may come enlargement. To be ashamed of slavery would be to lose out of your spiritual history something infinitely fruitful. It would be as though the children of Israel had deliberately cut out of the Old Testament all reference to the bondage in Egypt or the captivity in Babylon. It is out of the days of slavery you can bring your most incompatible contribution to American life." Dr. Walter Russell Bowie, for 11 years rector of St. Paul's Church in Richmond and now rector of Grace Church in New York, told the colored race in the Founder's Day address delivered at Hampton Institute on Sunday, January 31, in memory of General Samuel C. Armstrong, founder of the institute. Dr. Bowie wa. introduced by Dr. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, as "a worthy son of Virginia who exemplifies in his lineage the old South at its best and in his own generous spirit the new South at its freest and noblest." Dr. Bowie referred to the compilation of the Hampton-Tuskegee endeavour fund and declared it cause for rejoicing. "That thousands of people from North and South gave to Hampton is an evidence that multitude believe in that for which Hampton has stood. They reverence the unselfish devotion which founded the school; they admire the sanity and sobriety of its scheme of education." In speaking of "the question of the sight progress of the Negro in the midst of the white civilization of America," Dr. Bowie quoted Dr. Elijah Gardner Murphy whom describes as one of the purest and most spokesman for the South in (Continued on Page Six) APPRECIATION FOR CLARENCE H.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1926 New Governor Former State Senator Harry Flood Byrd, farmer and business man, was inaugurated governor of Virginia last Monday. His inaugural address was regarded as being constructive and progressive, especially in regard to taxation, roads and schools. Governor Byrd's only direct reference to the subject of racial relations was in his recommendation for "more energetic steps to collect delinquent capitation taxes." He thought "every citizen should be required to contribute something to our government," he added: "With proper safeguards, made necessary by our racial conditions, voting would be encouraged and facilitated." Earlier in his address he had pledged himself to law enforcement. Returned to N.Y. Charged With $1,288 Theft Offices from New York arrived in the city a few days ago and returned North with Minnie Francis under arrest charged with having stolen clothing valued at $1,288 from the home of Fannie Coleen, white, of 351 East 170th street, of that city. The entire loot was said to have been recovered in pawnshops in Nortfolk and New York. The woman had been arrested here upon advice from the New York detectives. According to the story of the detectives of the Northern city, Minnie was employed in the Coben home as a domestic and disappeared on December 22, with the clothing, including two fur coats. Inquiries by the New York police revealed that she was in this city. A wire here asked her arrest, which quickly followed. OPPOSE BILL TO SEPARATE RACES IN PUBLIC HALLS Most Prominent Virginians See In Measure An Unnecessary Affront to the Colored Citizens, Of The State. (Special Correspondence.) Richmond, Va. A number of the most prominent Virginians, representing the "best blood" of the old South, and the most enlightened sentiment of the new South, last week appeared before the legislative committee on general laws in opposition to the Massesbury bill requiring the separation of the races in public halls and places of public entertainments, admitted by its supporters to be obtained directly at Hampton Institute. Among those who spoke against the bill were Dr. S. C. Mitchell, of the University of Richmond; Dr. R. E. Blackwell, president of Randolph-Macon College; Mr. J. Scott Parish, president of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and the Rev. Beverley D. Tucker, vector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in this city and a native of Norfolk. These gentlemen declared that the bill was not needed and would, if enacted, create an unnecessary disturbance of the state's happy race relations. The bill is sponsored by the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America, the fight for its enactment being led by John Powell, of Richmond, the Richmond Times-Dispatch and the Daily Press of Newport News. Its sponsor, Delegate Massenberg, is from Hampton. Chewing gum was probably invented by a woman who had no one to talk to. DECLINE IN LOGAL T. B. DEATH RATE DECLINE IN LOGAL T. B. DEATH RATE Fight of Norfolk Anti-Tuberculosis League on Consumption Shows Marked Results Ameng Colored Population. That the fight the Norfolk Anti-Tuberculosis League has been waging against consumption for the past 20 years is having fruitful results among the colored population, regarded as the stronghold of the malady, is borne out in the annual report of the president of the league, Dr. Charles F. Grandy, submitted at the league's annual meeting Thursday afternoon, and published in full in the Virginian-Pilot of Sunday. The death rate among the white population of the city was "remarkably good," while there has been a "marked improvement" in the colored death rate, declared Dr. Grandy. Lack of funds has seriously handicapped the league's work, the president's report showed. Reviewing the work of the league since its organization, Dr. Grandy gave health department figures for 1925, 1924 and 1906 in order that proper comparisons might be drawn. Basing the 1925 rate upon a population of 150,000 and including all forms of deaths from tuberculosis at the City Home as well as in the city proper, which was not done in 1905, the figures then being only for pulmonary tuberculosis and no deaths at the City Home included, there is still known a great difference in favor of the 1925 rate. The 1906 rate is based on a population of (Custodian or Poor Knight).

TWELVE PAGES—TWO PARTS ARENTS A Fabric of d Totter Under aw Amendment Prominent Virginia Families Have Other Than Pure White Blood. Declares Opponent of Proposed Law. Richmond, Va. — The proposed amendment to the racial integrity law—enforced to the latter—would shake the entire social fabric of the state, declared Manley H. Barner before the House committee on general laws holding a public bearing on the bill to amend the law, in the assembly chamber Thursday night. Mr. Barnes without using names cited specific instances of prominent Virginia families which had other than purely Caucasian blood in their veins. Standing in the legislative hall of the palefaces, representatives of the remaining tribe of Virginia Indians on Thursday night made a dramatic appeal that they be spared the final blow that would wipe them off the face of the earth. The blow aimed at the Indians is couched in the bill before the General Assembly to amend the racial integrity act. No physical violence is intended toward the remnants of Red Men, but if the bill passes in its present form, Virginia Indians as such will perforce cease to exist. The amendment which is backed by Dr. W. A. Plecker, state registrar of vital statistics and John Powell of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America would define all non-white persons as colored, and would make it a felony for any person of the white race—defined as persons without a trace of colored blood—to marry any person except of the white race. It designates all persons not of white Caucasian race colored. This designation would, it appears, apply to Japanese and Chinese as well as to Indians. The voice of the Indian in its dramatic plea before the House committee on general laws holding a public hearing on the bill Thursday night was not unsecreted by white men, however. "In the name of justice, leave them their name," shouted Clement Yancey, white, who for 10 years has lived near the reservation where the Pamunkey Indians have lived and kept to their tribal customs since the infancy of the Republic. The representatives of the Red Men were led into the chamber of the legislature by old Chief Cook of the Pamunkeys, fiery-eyed chieftain with a torgue of eloquence. With eyes flashing in characteristic tribe-men fashion the old man made a passionate plea before the committee on behalf of his people. Chief Cook's Plea Cherie S. Lee "Will you palefaces," he demanded, "blot out with the stroke of a pen a nation." For we are a nation—a republic with a republic, ARMED SOLDIERS GUARDED MANON TRIAL FOR LIFE Kentucky National Guard smen Uphold Majesty of the Law. While Jury Brings In Guilty Verdict. (Special to Journal and Guide) Lexington, Ky.-Officials of this city and state, determined not to have a lynching, threw a cordon of 1,000 Kentucky National Guardsmen, armed to the teeth with automatic rifles, and a machine gun manned by experts around the courthouse during the trial of Ed Harris here this week for one of the most revolting charges in the annals of Kentucky's bloody history. Harris was charged with killing a white man, his two small children, criminally attacking his victim's wife and then attempting to take her life. He was said to have confessed to the crimes. His trial ended in a quick verdict of guilty and a sentence to die. The town was virtually under martial control for several hours before the prisoner was brought from the reformatory, where he had been incarcerated since his arrest, to the city for trial and during the progress of the trial. Soldiers kept the streets cleared of persons wont to gather in bunches, established zones through which vehicular traffic was barred and walked the streets carrying guns and bayonets menacingly. "All the News that's Worth Reading" PRICE 7 CENTS MYSTERIOUS DEATH WILL BE INVESTIGATED 16-Year Old Boy Dies From Asphyxiation. On Whose Life Foster Parents Carried $10,000 Insurance Policy. WOMAN'S FORMER MATE DIED SUDDENLY (Special to the Journal and Guide.) (Dpecial to the Journal and Guide.) Davenport, Ia.—Death of Harold Baker. 16-year old orphan boy, adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph A. Bogie, by asphyxiation a week ago under mysterious circumstances, brought the arrest of his foster parents after a coroner's jury had recommended that the boy's death be investigated. It was found that the foster parents had taken out a $10,000 life insurance policy on the boy, naming themselves as beneficaries. They were released from jail after a night's lock-up pending action of the grand jury. It was brought out during the questioning of Bogie that he was a Negro, and it was declared, had "passed" as a white man. His wife was said to have denied knowing he was colored. Cross examination brought an admission from her that her first husband, James Healey, a Muscatine Iowa stock breeder died suddenly 34 days after their marriage. Muscatine police will investigate his death. LIBERIA SCARES COLE L. BLEASE ON WORLD COURT LIBERIA SCARES COLE L. BLEASE ON WORLD COURT South Carolina Senator Fears Only That Negro Republic Might Exercise Its Prerogatives By Casting a Vote. Washington, D. C. Feb. 4—Senator Cole Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, has taken up where his predecessor, the late Senator Ben Tillman, left off in furning the flames of race hatred on the floor of the United States Senate. Shotty before the Senate adopted the resolution providing for the adherence of the United States to the World Court last Wednesday. Senator Blease sought to influence other Senators from the South against the resolution by pointing out that Haiti and Liberia were members of the League of Nations and would have a vote each in the election of judges. He offered a reservation to the effect that each state of the Union would have a vote in the election of judges. Appeals to Prejudice "I notice that Haiti has a voice in the election of the judges," he said. "I call the attention of Senators from the South, while they are voting on this reservation, to the fact that they are voting for a court where we are to sit side by side with a full-blooded "nigger," who has as much right as we have in the election of the judges of this court. I ask them if they realize the fact that there may be and very probably will be representative of Haiti as a judge on this court, so that the Southern Senators are voting to throw the destinies of Southern women and Southern men unto the lap of a black man? "Haiti has joined the League of Nations and has a representative in the assembly of the league who will vote for the judges of the court." Senator James A. Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, called Senator Blease's attention to the fact that Liberia was also a member of the league. Senator Blease then argued that Haiti being a league member, while the United States is not, would in all probability have more power in one sense than the United States. "Why is the United States of America to have one judge to sit on this court when a nigger can at any time cast his ballot in opposition to that vote and negative it, and leave it then to the other man (Continued on Page Three) FAMOUS OLD INDIAN DOCTOR HAS DECIDED TO MAKE THE MOST DARING MOVE EVER MADE TO GET NEW CUSTOMERS Will Give A Free Sample Box Of His Famous Coco-Tar Hair Grower To Every Reader Of This Paper—Just To Prove That His Product Will Grow Hair 2 Inches Longer In Two Months.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1926 NORFOLK-PORTSM'TH GLEE CLUBS PRESENT SPLENDID PROGRAM The Philharmonic Glee Club of Norfolk and the Roland Hayes Glee Club of Portsmouth assisted by Mrs. R. J. Brown, soprano, appeared in a joint recital at Saint John's Church, Thursday evening, January 28. A large and representative audience witnessed this musical treat. That the program was exceptionally well rendered and thoroughly enjoyed was evidenced by the spontaneous applause that greeted the rendition of each number. The members of each club made a most pleasing appearance, being attired in full dress suits and one one weating a white boutonniere. Mrs. R. J. Brown has a voice of unusual beauty and touching appeal. She was greeted with hearty applause upon her appearance and the charming way in which she sang her numbers, contributed largely to the success of the evening. The program which was made up of numbers from leading composers, was featured by selections from Harry T. Burieigh, Johnson, W. Marion Cook, Coleridge-Taylor, as well as several very excellent arrangements of Negro spirituals, the Norfolk club, directed by Mr. W. C. Fulford, and the Portsmouth club, directed by Mr. J. G.

Says Young People Straying From God A worm debate took place at First Presbyterian Church on last Tuesday night, the subject, "Resolved that the Young People of Today Are Straying From God," providing much argument for the disputants with the affirmative speakers, attorneys V. C. Bodges and David H. Edwards carrying off the fruits of victory. The negative side was upheld by Richard H. Bowling and attorney Walter H. Davis. All four of the disputants made effective arguments supported by a large array of facts and the audience, which filled the auditorium of the church thoroughly enjoyed the affair. While the judges decided in favor of the affirmative, it cannot be argued that the decision was a popular one, as it was clear that very large section of the audience was convinced that the young people are not "straying." Dr. G. Hamilton Francis presided. The program was held under auspices of the church, Rev. D. F. White, pastor. The judges were Prof. C. W. Reynolds, Dr. G. Jarvis, Bowens, Editor P. B. Young, Rev. D. J. Lee and Dr. A. B. Green. WOMAN'S WORLD EDITOR'S NOTE: Featured in this department are notes of special interest to our women readers.

Dr. Fisk Defends The Nagging Wife In a debate on marriage, Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk of New York City, spoke in favor of the mugging wife. His speech, however, was in favor of the mugging of a solicited wife, whose solicitude means prolonged life for her husband, and not the woman who mags her husband for more expensive clothes or luxuries. Dr. Fisk says that the death rate among bachelors is almost double that of married men, because they lack mugging wives. Continuing he says in part: "I wish to speak a good word for the nagging woman," he says. "I do not mean the woman who mugs her husband for more expensive clothes or luxuries, but rather the woman who reminds him to put on his rubbers or change him to his Winter flannels or Winter overcoat, or who gets him to the doctor when he would otherwise go around coughing his head off in the early stages of pneumonia. There are more women denying themselves luxuries in order to aid their husbands or to secure indulencies for their children than there are wasting husbands' incomes on luxurious living. "Many men have been nagged out of indolence and sloth into action giving scope to their latent WEST MUNDEN Mr. J. C.

Women Continue To Invade Men's Realm New York.—Three hundred women have forsaken pots and pans to delve into the mysteries of stocks and bonds in New York's financial district. They are attending the Wall street division of New York University at night, taking courses in investment, and studying such subjects as finance, trade and industry. The student may be a stenographer during the day, but when she goes to her classes in the building at the rear of Trinity Church, she leaves her notebook behind and becomes a broker or a bond seller for the evening. She is preparing to invade a field hitherto confined almost wholly to men. Stenography and typing are not even included in the courses offered at the college. The subjects in which she is interested are the same subjects that more than 2000 men are studying at the same school.

The theory of infection with some type of organism or an undescribed germ is the cause. But if the scalp is properly cared for, the possibility of germs gaining a foothold is Dandruff is uncommon among children; it is a disease of adult years. If not the direct cause of baldness, dandruff precedes so many causes that there seems to be some casual relationship. A wrong kind of comb, a poorly selected and dirty hairbrush, and the application of irritants help cause dandruff. The garden variety of dandruff may not always remain harmless. The condition may progress unfavorably, the scales may change and stay on the scalp forming a scurf. Some of the scales may be brushed on other parts of the body, and the skin, of the chest and back may show a diseased condition. At times the entire skin may share in the scaling process. Living habits should be at the best to avoid dandruff; excess in sweet or greasy food should be avoided; cleanliness should be paraphrased—a fresh comb and brush at the barber's, a clean one at home. Don't scatch your scalp. If you need advice on the condition of our scalp or hair, consult some one who understands the relationship between your scalp and your general health.

EAT MORE CHEESE One of the most important foods for women to study and know how to use at this time is cheese. Until the last year or so this article of food has been used in most households as an extra, to be served with pie. Through the efforts of the Government and different Domestic Society Departments, bulletins have been sent telling the food value of cheese. Just as beans and peas have been known to the housewife as sub-dairy products, so have they failed to use cheese in many good forms and have in many cases condemned it as an indigestible article of food. Bour in mind that cheese dishes cooked at a moderate heat are the most wholesome. If cheese is cooked at a high temperature it becomes leathery and tough, also indigestible. Putting cheese through the meat chopper saves a lot of time and for the majority of dishes is as satisfactory as the slower process of grating it. When used in casserole dishes or sauces it is only necessary to slice it. Cheese has twice the foul value that meat has. One ounce of cheese is equal in food value to one egg. Therefore, it can be used in the same way as meat as the main dish of the as a meat substitute.

(Richmond Bureau.) Richmond, Va.-The "Charles- son" dance has hit this city with a engagement. The old saying that this "whole darn world's gone charleson crazy," certainly in- cluded Richmond as was evidence, the fact that 3500 people, both white and colored, turned out to see a Charleson contest that was old in the City Auditorium last night. The affair was billed as a Jazz band and Charleston Contest and the promoters of the affair certainly hit upon hot business. It was a novelty. Advertising six of the best Jazz Orchestras competing for a prize was enough in itself so almost fill any house in town, but added to that was an operative for all Charleston contest which drew entrants from all part of the city and cash customers likewise. There were eleven contestants; two small girls, one eight and the other twelve years old. A special prize was offered for the two of these two and they were both so good and so near even that the management gave both of them prizes. Two grown girls, or some neither of whom had a look Membership Meeting of "Y" Richmond, Va.—We'd ness day night was a big night at the Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Y. W. A., the occasion being the annual membership of the Y. A. wonderful program was rendered, and the annual report of the doing of the Y. for the year was read by Miss Laura McFall, branch secretary. The principal speaker was Miss Ada C. Baytop, formerly a teacher at Hartshorn College, but now general secretary of the Southwest Branch of the Y. in Philadelphia. Her message: "Why believe in the Y. W. C. A." was well delivered. The social hour was then taken with a splendid reast, which consisted of many dainty delicacies. Musical numbers were framed by the Alpha Glee Club and All Star Female Quartet. URBAN LEAGE Richmond, Va.—The local branch of the National Urban League was well represented at the National conference of that body which was held in New York City, February 4, 4, and 5, by C. L. Winfree, secretary of the local branch. The Urban League which has don’t much here but has not made much uss about it promises to keep the newspapers posted on what it is going in the future, for there are so many people here who do not know that there is an Urban League Branch in the city. The monthly meeting of the B. P. U. Union met at Second Baptist Church, Sunday night, Prof. M. M. Fisher, instructor at Union University, delivered a sermon on Evolution. Every Baptist Church in the city was represented and each representative reported more money than the quota allotted to Of the 5000 people who crowded into the city auditorium to hear the U.S. Marine Band give a sacred concert Sunday night, only about 50 were colored people. It seems that our people will not always wait themselves of the opportunity to attend these affairs from which so much can be learned. Simple space was provided for a great number of our folks but so many of them came too late to get so the space allotted to them. so the space was immediately gobbled up by the thousands of white people who clamored for admission. Fully 500 people stood on the outside who were unable to get in. GIRLS' INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL REPORT Richmond, Va.—The tenth annual report of the Virginia Industrial School for Colored Girls is just out, and a splendid report it is giving a clear outline of the wonderful work that has been and is being carried on at that institution. Under the able supervision of Mrs. Porter Barrett, who is surrounded with a coteerie of efficient assistants this school has done great work in character building, religious and domestic training thereby transforming many a wayward into a useful citizen. This institution should be of immense interest to Richmond because of its close proximity, because it was founded, it is said, by Richmond woman and because there is a number of Richmonders on the board of managers and on the advisory committee and besides there are more girls there from Richmond than from any other place in the State. Richmond just beginning to wake to the great good that this school is doing. Negro History Week Richmond, Va.—The three giant social workers, organization, name the Playground and Recreation association, the Urban League and the Prallis. Whestley Branch of the W. C. A. are planning a program in observance of Negro History week, which is to be observe in with the seven men and boys, competed. The first prize for the men was won by Pleasant Crump who had to do some lively stepping to get by the others, all of whom were good. But the rhythmical movements of Crump's arms with that of his legs and his extreme gracefulness is believed to have influenced the judges, besides he did not dance quite as long as did some of the others, therefore he did not have to resort to a constant repetition of the same steps. Hardy Brothers Orchestra won the Jazz Band Prize, while Charlie Royster and Miss Catherine Alston a professional dancing team entertained with some fancy steps doing the collegiate. The Old South Quartette came in for a round of applause for their sterling singing. Among the many notable numbered among the 1000 or more white people present, according to Leon Fields, one of the managers, Governor Trinkle, ex-Governor Henry Carter Stuart and Governor-elect, Harry Byrd. A telegram was received by the management from one Jake Funs of New York asking that the program be held up for 20 minutes until he could arrive. Special seats were placed on the stage for him and his party upon their arrival. The young promoters Leon Fields and Fred Cephas promise to pull off many more big things of interest for the Richmond public. JOURNAL AND GUIDE BURDAU Robt. A.

HUNT RABBITS IN HEART OF THE CITY Richmond, Va.—Hunting a and chasing rabbits in the heart of the city seems almost unbelievable in this day and time, but that is just what happened a few days ago. In the big field lying between the Suer extract factory and the Battle-Axe shoe factory, on West Broad street, a man with two dogs were in there hunting and in a very few minutes one rabbit jumped up, then another and out they took like a streak of greased lightening with the man and dogs in hot pursuit but so far behind that the dogs soon lost the trail. This writer was coming across the field at the time and acting on the impulse took two healthy swings, with convenient rocks, at the flying rabbits. And standing there, looking longingly in the direction that the rabbits had gone and dreaming of rabbit-hash and stew this writer was some what inclined to follow—and actually did go a few paces in the direction of the railroad back of the shoe factory from whence some one had informed him the rabbits had first come.

The striking difference between the death rate of the white and colored people though there is a marked improvement in the colored rate when compared with 1906. "During the year our clinic showed increase in all items, except of visits paid by nurses. This again had to be curtailed on account of the lack of funds. Dr. Byrd's clinic only ran a little over four months as he decided to discontinue it in June. This clinic was decreasing and there was no great strain put on the main clinic to take care of these patients. Decrease in Deaths "It is rather interesting to note that while we had an increase in the number of deaths among our colored patients, there was a decrease in the total number of these deaths in tag city. This means that the clinic was covering the city more fully than ever before. Among the colored deaths, we had five due FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR Hampton's Superiority A great number of fans often wonder why Hampton has such wonderful laskball teams and why she holds the high in the C. I. A. A. so long. It might be due to the wealth of material the blue and white has on hand which enables the coaches to muster strong fives every year. Then, it might be superior coaching. There is one thing that plays a strong part in helping to develop fast teams for the Seasiders, a thing might have all to do with the school being able to carry through over all of the other teams in the association, and it is a gymnasium. Hampton is the only school in the C. I. A. A. that has the advantage of first class practice quarters. This plays an important role in the developing of any athletic aggreration. Not only has the school the advantage of practice quitters, but the teams that are developed in this gym play their games also in this place. In view of this fact, numbers of the caging lives know --- to heart disease and aortic aneurism, who came to us for diagnosis. There was also one white heart death. "The three open-air rooms in the schools were operated at full capacity and all children were examined at our clinic before being put into them. Miss Franklin kept in close touch with these rooms, both by frequent visits and calls from teachers, as well as by regular visits on the part of the children to the clinic. All the children in these rooms improved during the last school year, both physically and scholastically. All the colored children made their grades and only two of the white ones failed. We are now very particular to see that only children of normal mentality are put into these open-air rooms. "The league paid over $1,000 the last session for school lunches. Not getting an increase from the Community Fund, the league asked the Federation of Home and School Leagues to asst in providing lunches for the new open-air room and the federation has agreed to cooperate in this matter, for it was only with this help that the fourth open-air room was possible. "Various people have visited our open-air rooms and we have had the best kind of criticism in regard to the general management, character of the lunches served and the small cost of these good lunches. This is not a free soup proposition, for the children get good, solid lunches of around 1,200 calories, and certainly show the effect of the rest and good food. Real Chance to Check Disease "Last spring a survey was made of the Dunbar School, which has an enrollment of 490. Eleven rooms were inspected, 95 children gone over roughly at school and 42 recommended for further examination at the clinic. Two far advanced cases were found, both of whom have died. Four early cases were discovered and three of them sent to the sanatorium, where they are doing well. One child was taken to the country and lost sight of. Two other far advanced cases have been found in this school. One was in another school at the time of the survey, and the other was taken out of school before the survey, put in the hands of a colored doctor and has been recently reported as having died, but, of course, is not counted as one of our clinic cases, as we did not see it. This piece of work shows great possibilities and it seems to me that this inod gives us the real chance of shedding tuberculosis in the colored race." intensive Membership Campaign Soon To Get Underway In Military Fashion With Appropriate Officers.

A. was remove Union University's crumbed under affective assault in sixth straight victory 34-20. Of course, it is not Hampton's fault that other schools do not have gymns for their indoor sports. Long ago, Hampton became well aware of what was needed to turn out first class athletes and the authorities set about to provide these requisites and that's that. It seems that basketball in Norfolk is about to be placed on a firm footing. From indications, the game has taken on a great deal of impetus and bids fair to carry on until the sport reaches the same level as it enjoys in many other cities. The newly formed league played a trump card when it organized. Basketball here will soon come into its own and a larger number of teams will be evidenced before many moons.

Jan. 29—One of the greatest obstacles Hampton had to meet in her dash for the third consecutive championship of the C. I. A. A. was removed today when Union University's Panthers crumbed under a fierce and effective assault in the Seaside sixth straight victory of the season, 34-20. Union Looks Strong Hampton got the initial tap, but within a minute Gardner, the lanky Panther center, located a path bitherto walked by only on basketball player in four years, and sank the first tally of the occasion. Two Seasiders, however, playing a sub-center, Thorne, and a forward, Baker, quickly over came Union's advantage of height with speed and well directed shots, and took a 16-2 lead before Charles Williams could record another basket for his mates. The first period ended 17-6 in favor of Hampton. Adds Full Strength The next half found the home team with full force in the lineup. Hargrove and Lambright who had been taking a rest were now back in the game and submitted two baskets each but they were not alone in the attack. "Savage" Brown contributed a couple of double-deckers and one free throw while Capt. "Cheet" Jones sank two goals. But this is only one-half of the story. The Union lads seemed to be finding themselves, and with Gardner and Ballard at the helm and N. Smith bringing up the rear with one beautiful two-counter proceeded to add the sum of fourteen points to their meager portion of booty. Union Shows Fine Defense The Seasiders were primed today. The half-century mark which has not been reached byp the shipmates in many moons was set the goal, and it was Union's close guarding which hindered the ambitious Seasiders. Jackson did a beautiful job of his share; Williams, a substitute, held up the other half admirably during most of the game. Gardner and Ballard were assigned to another task; the result was indeed pleasing. The former with five goals and one foul-shot to his credit comes to the fore for first scoring honors: "Savage" Brown, two points behind, has second place, while "Chet Jones" claims third with eight points, and with this goes the compliment of his opponents' coach of being the best guard in the Association. His partner on the other side, "Cutie" Brown accomplished a rather difficult task in silencing Union's sky scrapers. THE LINEUP Hampton—34 Union—20 Baker F Ballard E. E.

Has Untold Possibilities. Picturization is Made With Syd Chaplin In Title Role. Plays may come and plays may go, but 'tis said in the theatre that "Charley's Aunt" will go on forever. No play has had a more interesting or extensive "career" than this famous old farce by Brandon Thomas. After thirty-three years in every corner of the globe, it is still going strong and now that it is has been translated into the universal language of the screen it is said "the old lady" has taken a new lease of life and will be delighting our great, grandchildren as it delighted our grandparents. "Charley's Aunt" made "her debut" at Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk in 1892 with W. S. Penley starring. The play was then brought to London, being given first at the Royalty Theatre and then at the Globe where it ran continuously for four years (1466 per man'ses). The fame of "Charley's Aunt" spread far and wide and seven touring companies started out through the provinces. Several companies are still touring with it in England, and each year it is put on in London where it is one of the "draws" of the holiday season. Al Christie, one of the producers of the screen version, saw a performance of it in the London suburbs last spring and the house recked with laughter. The particular touring company which played it was then back from Dublin, Ireland, where the play had just broken all house records. World Famous Years ago the play was taken up abroad and was even played in China with a Chinese "Charley's Aunt." It was played in Germany twenty-five years ago and is nearly as well known in German theatrical traditions as it is in England. "Charley's Aunt" was the ex-Kaissers' favorite play. He himself once admitted it. During the war, many hot-headed Germans protested against the admission, but the Kaisser held that as Brandon Thomas, the English author, had died before the war broke out, his offense was purged. The play was shown in Athens, Greece, and owing to the fact that there was no Greek word for aunt, the excellent lady was referred to by a double-barrelled applause indicating that she was the sister of Charley's father. When it was produced in Italy the famous little town of Oxford was shown with snow capped mountains in the rear. Norway determined to be very correct and sent a special representative over to study English customs. This fellow told the Norwegians producers that in England it was the proper thing to wear Eton jackets and straw hats. Famous Stars Were In It Some of the great stage stars who have played in "Charley's Aunt" were the original W. S. Penley, who is said to have made a million and a half out of it; Lynn Harding, Brandon Thomas, Miss Nina Boucicault, Julian Royce, Reeves Smith and A. E. Matthews. It was first played in America by Giraudot. James E. Page has played in the stage version 4100 times. He was brought over to Hollywood from London to play Spettigue, the role which he has played on the stage for twelve years. Laughed The Curtain Down On one occasion when "Charley's Aunt" was being played, the fireman of the theatre laughed so much that he fell against the bell which rang the curtain down in the middle of the first act. It has happened many times that during the run of the play, women had to be carried out of the theatre in a state of hysteria through laughing. Indeed at times companies have actually provided themselves with first-aid facilities. Charlie Suggests Brother Syd For Part When it was learned that "Charley Aunt" would take a fly into films, Charlie Chaplain cabled Ideal that, in his opinion, his brother was the one person to play the part, so Syd Chaplain was secured for the title role. It is said that he has more than fulfilled everyone's expectation in the role and with the added opportunities that the screen affords, "Charley's Aunt" steps forth with new glory and an added ability to tickle the public's risibilities. We'll soon be able to meet the old lady and see for ourselves, however, as this great feature farce will come to Norfolk next Monday and Tuesday when it will begin a two-days' run at the Attucks theatre.

CLARK DROPS CLOSE GAME Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 20. M. Morehouse today inclined the city championship by downing Clark by the close score of 19-18. The game was hard fought from start to finish the thrilling plays of both teams repeatedly bringing cheers from the spectators. Clark led to the half 7-5. The Maroon quintet came back with a rush in tre eighth and half and soon piled up a lead that the Clark basketkeepers were unable to overcome in the remaining minutes of play. Beck, Johnson, and Dalton were the mainstays in the Clark defense, while Traylor, Sykes and Captain Bailey starred for the Maroon tide. Traylor was the backbone of the Morehouse scoring, making 12 of the 18 points. Another feature of the Morehouse defense was the first dribbling and close guarding of Archer. Beck and Johnson of Clark in a last frantic effort to overcome the Maroon lead sank baskets from critical angles.

They proved it by turning in one of their _most_ decisive and brilliant vietories of the’ season in beating the well known Akron Keystones, 310 19. . Keys With 11 points, and Shear- er with 10, led the scoring for the ‘inners. Lee was the scoring star of the Keystones, collecting 12 of pis team’s 19 tallies.

Line-up HEY Club—31 Keystones—19 oa REPS’ TAKE Hl —Y" CAGERS Columbus, Ohio, Jan 29—A live- ly and interesting family fracas between the Central Y, M. C. A. “Reps”, strong whit aggregatiort of the city, and thé Spring St. Y. M,C. A. High-¥ Club, local city champs last season, was decided in favor of tho Central “Reps” to- night when a final spurt. stemmed the tide of a brilliant rally on the part of the noted Colored team. ‘he final seore was 24 to 21; but that isn't half of the story. ‘The prospects for a Hi-Y victory tonight were not particularly bright when almost immediately after the first tap-off Central “Reps” were lending 4-0 by virtue of field goals by Becker and Mil- ler. But always there is the man af destiny—tonight for the losers it was Keys, the same player whe flashed so davaingly against the powerful Baltimore Athenians week ago. The Hi-Y seemed t lack that bubbling over pep that £ characterized their paly during re cent games. but eventually Keys weaved his way by the opposing defense..to count for two points However, on an exhibition of wel executed passing that marked the “Reps” playing tonight, Fox hac scored twice from the floor in suc cession before the scorers cowl completa tha.recording of the prev ious plays. In a determined come hack the Hi-Y missed several clos shots and had .the misfortune drop in several Shots that rebound ed out of the basket. Steps In Breach Thon into. the breach stepped Keys, with his marvelous knack in making good long shots in pinches. From mid-court this time he flipped the'ball.” It went in and caine out. But where the Hi-Y’s sterling running guard failed, Shearer and Gurrett made good with a field goal apiece, Shearer's floor work and-dribbling featuring the plays. ‘The first quarter ended with the scure favoring the “Reps” at 8-6, and no fouls having been called on either team, Tied At End of Half ‘The battle waged merrily on in this same fashion during the se¢- ond quarter, with Shearer, Keys, Garrett, Black outscoring Hoppe, Fox, and Miller, so that at half time hath teams had 15 points. Immediately after_the beginning of the third quarter Keys looped in x field goal, but Fox, who played brilliantly throujghout for the white team, retaliated with a basket, The svore stond 17-17 until just after the opening of the last quarter. Fast Play Wins For Reps A brilliant play, in which guard North of the “Reps” received the tap and quickly dribbled down the floor for a field goal rather demor- alizing Hi-Y, and despite thre: points made by Keys and one by Phillips, it could not win. You see, North's sensational shot. Beck- er, Fox, and Hoppe came through with just enough points to be a- head “by 3 points when Referee Norris’ whistle wounded its last blast. Final score 24-21 favor “Reps” of Central Y. Both teams tonight played: « welt balanced game, and except in the matter of scoring there was no par: ticular start. “The guarding of both teams was noticenble for its quality against puzzling passing. i THE LINEUP “Reps"—24 Hi-Y—21 Fox F Black Miller F Shearer Hoppe © .

The colors were so dazzling that they got. in the eyes of the players and they were unable to find. the baskets, and these hard beiléd bab- ies they call Collegians romped. My idea of the dumbest jazzbo in the ward is the guy what’ sticks his head down in a newspaper while riding in the same seat with one of these breath-taking sweet young things.

C. quint, grabbing the lead ut 2-1 in the carly stages of the fray and gradually increased it un- Ul the final count. The Collegians got the tap-off at center, nearly every time which proved a great advantage to the five, Bookers And Community — In the second game, which start- ed off at a whiz, the Community Five outpaced the high-school lads throughout the game: to'come out on top. The game was rather fast in tho first half, but it seems that Williams injected more speed in the Community Five when he en- tered the game in the last frame and the players began a swift mareh to victory. ‘The first games. of the trophy race were well attended and bid fair to a successful Teague season. The crowd was enthusiastic which lent much color ta the occasion. There was 2 gteat deal of spirit and intsrest manifested throughout the entire affair.

ANEW RECORDY From N. Y, Herald-Tribune. Two score survivers of the first night of strife in the metropolitan A. A. U. boxing championships gathered last night in Madison Square Garden to decide the own- ership of the local amateur titles in eight classes—from ' flyweight’ to heavyweight. Despite the steady downpour, a crowd of 6,500 was on hand to witness the semi-final and final battle of the annual two-day tournament. __ Well matohed contests kept the Garden in a turmoil through the early hours with enough slugging ‘to satisfy the most. blood-thirsty. The two defending champions in | the tourney, Ed Tiernan, of the St. Bartholemew’s Club, welterweight, ‘and Jack Donohue, of the Holy Name Club; featherweight, emerged triumphant in their tirst encounters of the long night, though each was carried the full distunee of three rounds and each was given a hard fight. ‘Tiernan eliminated Jack legins, ‘of the Good Shepherd A. G,, and Donohue won from Charles Thatcher, of the Nations] Turners, a Now Jersey entry. Eight Second Knockout The quickest knockout on record eight seconils after the clang of the hell—ocenrred in a heavyweight semi-final when Lawrence ‘Creigh- ton, an unattuched Negro, stopped Fred Stracht, of the Holy Name Club, with his first punch, a light. ning right cross with the kick of a mule in it. Stracht fell like a log in the center of the ring. Dr. Simonson, the referee, started to toll the count, but when he reached four he realized that Stracht was out cold. The referee then lifted Stracht to his feet and carried him to his corner where he was quickly revived, ~Creighton’s cight?second _knock- out bettered the twelve-second K. 0, which Frank Morris, of the As- ‘eension Parish House, hung up in the December tournament of the Metropolitan A. A. U. in the same Garden ring. Creighton yet an- other record, for in his initia) bout ‘the previous evening he stopped George Grau in 22 seconds—30 sec- jonds all told to dispose of his first two adversaries, Tom Tritta, of the St. Anselm’s A. C., won the other heavyweight semi-final, out- pointing Pete Pocaro, of the St. Bortholmew’s Club, in the three eounds. CLAFLIN ROUTS PAINE COLLEGE Orangeburg, S, C.—The Claflin girls avenged the stigma that the range and Maroon received a few weeks ago in a game when the boys of Claflin met Paine. In probably the hardest fought cage battle ever staged in the local gym the Claflin 6 won its way to_a decisive victory of 25-15 over Paine Col- lege. Very carly in the first period of the game much to the amazement af the many spectators and the Painites themselves, Gordon of Claflin in a very clever manner | dodged the Paine guard and dashed the ball through the prized hoop. This was immediately followed by another successful ringer. Gordon with the aid of her colleagues were Fable to keep this Jead throughout the game and by the end of the second quarter speedy Norma had added 5 more from the field, there- by making a score of 14 for her team at the close of the period. In the meantime Shipp of Paine was unable to sink more than 3 success- fully from the field. Wits?) EAteesT Claflin—25 Paine--1i Motte F Shipp Gordon F Hanngn MsKinnon — G_— Brinson Pettie 8. C.

PRESBYTERIANS CLOSE MEETING IN CHASE CITY Thyne Institute Host To Tennessee Presbytery; Norfolk Pastor Delivers Ordination Charge to Candidates. The Presbytery of Tennessee has just closed a most profitable session at Thyne Institute, Chase City, Va. It convened Wednesday, January 27, at 7:45 p.m. In the absence of Dr. C. H. Johnson, of Birmingham, Ala., the retiring moderator and the Stated Clerk, Rev G. W. Wilson, of Camden, Ala., Dr. J. Kelly Giffin, President of Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tennessee, was elected moderator, and Rev H. C. Wilson, of Athens, Tenn. Clerk pro tem. Dr. J. A. Cotten, of Henderson, N. C. was chosen to deliver the opening sermon, in the absence of the retiring moderator; After these preliminaries the sessions moved rapidly with routine business with the prevision of the clock, there being no lost motion and no wasted time. Among the Commissioners elected to the next meeting of the General Assembly which meets in Warwick, Va., we Dr. J. Kelly Giffin, and some member of the session of the First United Presbyterian Church of Norfolk, Va. The Committee of Training Young Ministers, reported that Mr. B. E. Evans, a licentiate, as having finished his course of study at Alleghany Seminary, Pittsburgh, Pa., with high honors was applying for ordination to the gospel ministry at the hands of Presbytery. Presbytery then listened to a sermon delivered by a representative, from Romans 8:1, and the outline of a popular lecture of a portion of scripture as evidences of his fitness to enter the teaching office of the ministry. Mr. Evans proved to be an eloquent and able preacher of the gospel and a competent and discriminating exegete. After further examination by the Committee as to his fitness to enter the ministry of the United Presbyterian Church, the Committee recommended that he be accepted and ordained. This was done at the evening session on Thursday. W. W. Wilson, principal of Thyme Institute, conducted the ordination service. Rev. D. F. White of Norfolk, Va., delivered the charge to the candidate. After an able and interesting address by Dr. Kelly Giffin, on his recent trip with the Knoxville College quartette to Europe, Presbytery adjourned. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH "To those shalt have no other gods before me," was the text from which Rev. Smith preached on Sunday morning. In this sermon the pastor outlined how frequently this commandment is violated, a particularly intense one, worldly affairs to interfere with their Christian duties. The evening sermon topic was taken from the Lord's Prayer. Three new members were added to the church during the services. On Monday evening a Mock General Conference was held at the church and proved a source of much encouragement. Sunday morning Bishop G. S. Caldwell, of Philadelphia, will preach at this church. The Sunday school is planning a membership contest to begin next Sunday.

Urges Race (Continued on Page 52) the last quarter century, in Mary said, the elements of flesh and blood, the elements of which are men and women and little child- children, the issues of which lie not in factions and parties but in the happiness or wretchedness of millions of our humankind, a problem demanding most of all a patient wisdom—the patience of thought of a patient, the patience of a opportunist, but the deeper patience of the patient." What is the responsibility of the white race in the progress of the Negro? "The desire to know of the white race in the progress of matters in that calmness of spirit which the truth begets. The spirit of conference. Nothing is more wholesome in the South today than the interracial committee. Through such conference and co-operation the Negro can be assured of the fairness of opportunity which will best build up self- respect and the creative social values of the race." Then above all and through the attitude of the white race must be Christian. "Any person tries to save time, soul and at the same time triangles on the soul of a weaker people, shall lose it, and the only race that shall save its soul into the glory of an expanding life is that race which reaches out its hands to lead another up and on." "Finally," Dr. Bowie said, "there is one high challenge to which I would lead our thought. Men sometimes are heard to say that race adjustment in this country is impossible." Mount Everest was a challenge to George Mallory, the intrepid climber, who lost his life in the last attempt to scale it. The "thrill of wanting to do something incredibly difficult, the impulse to do something that no mortal man ever did before," spurred him on. "By the light of Hampton, by the arm of Amritsar and Frissell, by the glory of Virginia that out of her life could produce a Robert E. Lee, can we not also, in the matter of this Christian adjustment between the races aspire to do something incredibly difficult and to achieve something which no people has ever achieved before. The existence of the problem is a challenge. Who shall say we cannot meet it with a conquering will?" After 16 years of research a substitute for bone black has been invented. Bishop Cardwell Here Sunday, Feb.7 HARVEST LEAGUE The Harvest League of the First Baptist Church gave a delightful programme and social for the church on Friday, January 20th. 100 63 100 the system of registration of visit statistics and its evasions. Says States Social Fabric Would Totter Opponents of the bill—and there were many, including white neighbors and friends of the river trifecta—insisted that the India nation themselves opposed the idea of a degenation, explaining that this proportion was based on their proposed classification with Neroga living according to our own laws and traditions on the tract of land granted us when the white man came from the seas and took from us the virgin soil of our fathers. I am before you, not as a first family of Virginia, but as a first family of America, and I defy any man to say to the contrary. I was sick when the message came that our very name was threatened. But I told my people I would plead for them, even if I was taken back in a baggage car. For I would gladly sacrifice my life for my people." Would Shake Social Fabric Mandley H. Barnes, warned the committee that the proposed law—enforced in the letter—would架起 the entire social fabric of the state, citing specific instances, using names—of prominent Virginia families which had other than purely Caucasian blood in their veins. Tribemen, many in tribal regalia, from the banks of the Pamunkey, Chickahominy and Kappanhock river were on hand to support their spokesman both in word and demeanor. There are only 80 of the Pamunkey left. John Powell in advocating the passage of the proposed law declared there was no such thing as a Virginia Indian." All of the objections to the deferred terminated, both with white and colored blood. ROLAND HAYES GLEE CLUB APPEARS AT ST. THOMAS BAPT.

Says Dr. Woodson: "Organize your community thru committees for the celebration of Negro History week. Interest every church, school, lodge, and club in your locality, to the extent of holding public exercises at some time during the week. "Draw up and send the management a list of the ministers, teachers, professional men, and all other persons in your vicinity known to be intelligently interested in the unlift of the Negro. Induce them to serve somewhere as a speaker before a church, school, lodge or club during the celebration. "Make a special effort to have your pastor deliver an address on this work the Sunday beginning or ending the week of the celebration to inform the people as to the importance of the work and solicit their support for it.

But if you leave it to the one to set forth his own virtues while disparaging those of the other, it will not require many generations before all credit for human achievements will be ascribed to one particular stock. Such is the history taught the south today. "Let the light of history enable us to see that "enough of good there is in the lowest estate to sweeten life; enough of evil in the highest to check presumption; enough there is of both in all estates; to bind us in compassionate brotherhood, to teach us impressively that we are of one dying and one immortal family."

With the sublime enthusiasm and heavenly vision of the Great Teacher let us help men to rise above the race hate of this age unto the altruism of a rejuvenated universe."

DECRIES DRIFT OF BUSINESS MEN FROMTHECHURCH Franklin Pastor Believes Higher Education Should Enhance One's Value To Spread And Support Gospel Franklin, Va.—Rev M. C. Allen, pastor of the First Baptist Church, preaching from Romans 1:14 Sunday morning, decried the tendency among some educated people to refrain from activity in the church. Rev Allen said in part: "It is most earnestly hoped that the business and professional members of our race group will not ignore, under-estimate, nor desert the Christian church—the mother of our freedom, because of deceiving propaganda pointing out some misguided expressions of their non-adherence to the church It is not an usual thing to find business and professional mea- stating as their reason for inactivity in the local Church being due to the gross ignorance of preachers and church officials. This logic will not hold water. I rather think that since their activities in the church do not materially injure their business, there creeps in un- consciously a bit of arrogance and intolerance because of a lack of a true sense of the church's real value. Let us educated people remember that the church with all of its ignorance has been the Negro's greatest agency of progress. "Through the foolishness of preaching," wonders have been wrought in our behalf—possibly the first written and adopted resolution to put down slavery in this country. Direct influence of church. The New Negro preachers fired the hearts of poets, journalists, statesmen, politicians, and soldiers against slavery. The first institutions of learning for the education of Negroes were the children of the church;—business organizations; banks, insurance companies; secret organizations; a thousand and one other things, that mark the progress of the Negro had their origin in the institution that is now winked at as at the "Dinah Swamp" of intelligence. "There is danger in this sort of attitude. Training should fit one to render a maximum service when one rates his importance by what he knows in preference to what he is willing and able to do. His training does for him what the farmer calls 'setting the hair on the hog' when a hog is butchered, he is plunged into hot water which acts upon the hair and outer skin in a way that with a fe wrestles of the hand or some other medium the hog is perfectly clean. A bit of skill is required in the success of this trick—if the water is too hot or too cold, or the hog stays in too long, the hair will not come off, if 'sets' and time must be used to shave off what should have needed off. "When a man goes to school and becomes recipient of systematic training and then loses his usefulness in his local church because of its dense ignorance, has either stayed in school not long enough or too long or he has prepared himself for a job that requires the intent to serve. Unknown to himself he is set in his ways—just the thing he accuses of or not parishioners of. The trained mind should be flexible. PHOEBUS Phoebe, Va.-Rev. C. H.

LUDEN, Lansing, Pa. makes breathing easier "Let the business and professional Negroes take the same attitude toward ignorance in the church that they take toward ignorance and superstition in their limbs. I know a doctor who drove fifteen miles on a dreadful night to put a grain of red pepper in the tooth of a suffering woman which he could have instructed her to do over the telephone. Why didn't he? He said, the ignorance of the woman would have under-estimated the significance of his advice and employed a white physician and the husband of this lady was an ignorant preacher who had the influence of her community. "After this visit he was looked upon as the greatest doctor in the world. He did not express any gross insult in the whole matter, but rather rejoiced that he had sense enough to put up with ignorance to get a chance to serve. All of these doctors, lawyers, preachers, school teachers, and business men deal with ignorance and superstition every day and any one who succeeds exerts a diplomat who so seriously excels in Uncle Sam's diplomatic agencies abroad. "It would be surprising to know the 'wormwood and the gall' business and professional men get through the predominating channels of ignorance. The world couldn't hold the books describing the difficulty, tacet, patience, and tolerance business men and professional men must go through in collection of what is due them for service. This is due solely to ignorance, to say nothing of the abuse, insults, and cussing out handed out to them daily. The sensible individual accepts it as a joke and passes on, which is as it should be in business and in religion, "For we are debtors both to the wise and the unwise."

Raleigh, N.C.—Widespread interest has been aroused in the new community program launched by the First Congregational Church of this city. The church for a number of years has realized and accomplished to minister to the needs of the spiritual life. Now it has caught a vision of another, new and very important life—the social and economic. In the light of this new vision, its efforts have been for the provision of opportunities for the development of this life as over against the inefficient and absurdly pleasurable activities on the other hand. The work so splendidly carried on by the minister, Rev. P. R. D. DeBerry, ably assisted by Mrs. D. B. DeBerry, Miss E. M. S. Smith, social worker, and others has been concerned with kindergarten, day nursery, employment bureau, delinquency, clubs, prison work and classes in home economics work, bricklaying and literary work. The new program, in addition to the phove, will include the purchase and remodeling of the Washing school building for the Working Girls' Home, day nursery, physical education, free clinics and business classes. American Missionary Association, who for more than fifteen years has shown a particular interest in our group, especially in the South, is backing this work and has pledged itself to contribute one dollar for every dollar raised by local and distant friends.

Tells Fellow-Citizens Not Long Faith In Their Race On Account Of Failure Of Elizabeth City Institution. If the colored people of Elizabeth City and Eastern North Carolina have assumed an attitude toward the recent close of the Allegheny Bank similar to that expressed in a letter to the Journal and Guide by Mr. H. J. Perkins, a well-known attorney who that expired out of the ruins of that attitudin will arise a bigger and greater Allegheny Bank, or a greater financial institution of some manned, owned and controlled by the same Negroes who have suffered a temporary set back because of the apparent failure. Mr. Perkins's letter, after complimenting the Journal and Guide upon its recent editorial "Exploring a Bank Failure" and commending the remarks made in that city by Dr. C. S. Morris on the day of his death, that the people of Elizabeth are not dismayed, nor have the lost confidence in their race, because of the bank failure. Letter declares: "We need now just a little side financial and green" said in God and a large coefficient in another, and in less than five years, out of the ruins of the old Albemarle Bank will come forth a new Albemarle Bark with ten times the capital and resources of the old Ysir sirs. I with F. W. M. Buler, children of the same yerd and month, August, 1870, were the first and second depositor in the old institution. As for myself, from the day of its opening, August 1820 to the day of its closing, December 24, 1925. I deposited every available cent in its coffers and vie with anyone in making the first deposit in a new institution. "My pastor, Dr. C. M. Cairnry, often by the way of advice remarks," Let us emulate the virus of the other group, and spurn their vices." "The writer remembers well when the Cobb Bank, the only institution of its kind in this city, closed its doors with thousands of dollars of our money. Did the other group lay that gigantic failure to their whole race, and cry out publicly before their children as well? This town owns us back twenty, fifty years. No; a thousand times, no, but they said one man has made a mistake let us thank God it is no worse. They called together their leaders, and are long out of that failure spring the First National Bank; later as a Citizens Bank; still a little later; a Savings Bank; then a merger, the Commercial merging with the Savings. Still another merger, the First National merging with the Citizens. So was the loan company, a little later was, to Joint Stock and Land Bank; then the Industrial Bank. "Out of one blood, God the Father made all of His children, and one group can do, under God, what other groups have done. Members of my race, North East, South and West, encourage our leaders." "Speak to God on our behalf that He may nerve them to go forward. Help the men who now own the Ableman Bank building to hold the same until there shall arise Moses among us, who will stronger to the building of a greater stronger and mightier institution that will cause our children to rise and call us blessed." — J.

PERRIK Night Coughing Quickly Stopped New Way Simple But Very Effective Night coughing, with its distressing loss of sleep and dangerous sapping of strength and vitality, can now almost instantly checked through a simple but undoubtedly effective treatment that is economical, too. This treatment is based on the famous discovery known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. For asisoning relief make this test tonight before retiring: Simply take one teaspoonful and hold it in the throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickens oozes and removes the phlegm and congestion which are caused of night coughing, with the cause removed, coughing stops quickly and you sleep the whole night through. The Dr. King's New Discovery prescription is for coughs, chest colds, throat, heartiness, bronchitis, spasmic quad, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups—no harmful drugs. At all good drugs.

Price, of Alexandrin, Va., arrived in this city last week, from where he intended to sail with "The Christian Herald Mediterranean an Cruise and Pilgrimage to the Holy Land" under the direction of Jas. W. Boring, he learned that telegram had been sent to his home after his departure by Mr. Boring notifying the minister that his reservation which he had previously booked had been cancelled. Rev. Price's reservation was cancelled on the ground that W. Grove and the only colored person who had sought to make the trip. This announcement was made by N. A. A. C. P. Rev. Price saw numerous advertisements of the cruise published during the Summer of 1925 in the Christian Herald, to which he had been a subscriber for ten years. The cruise was to take place on the stewardship Republic, sailing from New York on January 21. On January 6, Rev. Price received a letter from Mr. Boring expressing the fear that, as the only member of his race on the cruise Rev. Price "would feel out of place and embarrassed on the Republic." Rev. Price is to postpone his trip until Summer, when a party, including Negroes is to go to the Holy Land. Rev. Price replied that he did not wish to withdraw or postpone his trip, stating: "I am sure there could not be any more embarrassment than to have to withdraw after having perfected all arrangements." After a representative of the Christian Herald Tour had called upon Rev. Price and failed to persuade him to forego the trip, the following telegram from Mr. Boring arrived at Rev. Price's home after he had left for New York: "We find it advisable to cancel your reservation for transportation on steamship Republic, Mediterranean cruise per person; our cruise set forth on page 30 of cruise booklet, in which right is reserved to decline to accept or retain any person no member of cruise at any time.

C., Feb. 8.—The House Committee on Education on last Friday favorably reported the bill to amend the act incorporating Howard University by authorizing Federal appropriations to aid in the construction, development, improvement, and maintenance of the university. History of Appropriation Since March 3, 1879, the Federal Government has annually contributed to the construction, maintenance, and development of Howard University. Since the establishment of the Budget system, and the consolidation of all jurisdiction over appropriations in one committee of the House, items recommended by the Budget and approved by the Committee on Appropriations have frequently been stricken out in the House on the point of order that such appropriations are not authorized by existing law. The purpose of the bill, which was introduced by Representative Daniel A. Reed, Republican, of New York, is to authorize such appropriations for Howard University. Justification for Appropriation Justification for the authorization of annual Federal appropriations to Howard University is based upon an obligation, which the committee on Education declares the Government owes to the Negro. The report recommending passage of the bill states as follows: "Apart from the precedent established by 45 years of congressional action, the committee feels that Federal aid to Howard University is fully justified by the national importance of New York. For years past it has been felt that the American people owed an obligation to the Indian, whom they dispossessed of his land, and annual appropriations of sizable amounts have been passed by Congress in fulfillment of this obligation. The obligation in favor of the Negro race would seem to be even stronger than in the case of the Indian. The Negro was not robbed of his land as was the Indian, and he was brought unwillingly to a strange country, where for generations he was the slave of the white man, and where, as a race, he has since been compelled to cue out a meager and precarious existence. Land-Grant College "However, financial aid has been and still is extended by the Federal Government to the so-called land-grant colleges of the various States. While it is true that Negroes may be admitted to these colleges, they are not very much restricted, and generally it may be said that these colleges are not at all available to the Negro, except for agricultural and industrial education. This is particularly so in the professional medical schools, so that the only Class A school in America for training, colored doctors, or medical students is awarded University. It being the only place where complete clinical work can be secured by the colored student. Practical Reason "There is furthermore a strong practical reason why a school like Howard University should be maintained in the District of Columbia. The Freedman's Hospital was authorized by Congress in 1904, and was built upon land owned by Howard University. The university generously leased the land to the Federal Government for 99 years, at $1 a year, with a privilege of renewal for a like period. The existence of this hospital so near to the medical school of Howard University affords the student of the university an opportunity which exists nowhere else in this country to acquire a clinical instruction which is necessary to teach on each student's medical course. On the other hand, this opportunity exists for white students in every state of the Union. "In addition to the great importance to the country of having an institution capable of developing trained leaders for the colored race in all walks of life, the urgent necessity of making possible a supply of properly trained physicians of that race for the protection of the health of all our people, white as well as black, must be plain to every fair-minded American citizen." Terms of the Bill By the terms of the bill authorizing annual Federal appropriations, Howard University would be one to inspection by the Bureau of Education and would be inspected by this bureau at least once each year. The Bureau of Education would an annual report to the Congress, making a full exhibit of the affairs of the university. An appropriation of $218,000 for Howard University was stricken from the Interior Department appropriations bill this year on the point of order that the appropriation was not authorized by law. It will probably be reinserted by the Senate. NATION'S PUBLIC SCHOOL EXPENSE GOES TO HEIGHTS Elimination Of Waste And Increase In Efficiency Demanded To Check Rise of Cost of Public Education. Elimination of the waste and increase in efficiency in the expenditure of the nation's $2,000,000,000 annual bill for public school education is to be the keynote of the work of the National Commission, on Economy and Efficiency of the Business Administration of School Systems, according to an announcement issued from its headquarters in the Department of the Interior. The Commission has appointed by the action of Secretary of Secretary Hoover, Secretary of the Interior Work, and Dr. Frank W. Ballou, President of the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association. Business Principles Demanded It is the unanimous opinion of the members of the Commission that although the American people have faith in the public schools the cost has become so great that approval of continued rapid expansion along present lines is by no means unanimous. There is an insistent demand for the adoption of the fundamental principles of good business management in the administration of all school systems. It is felt that while the taxpayers are ready and willing to meet the present annual bills they will only agree to any considerable increase in those bills if they can be assured that the money is being expended wisely and that the product is the best that money can buy. To Seek Economics For these reasons the first questions which will be dealt with by the Commission will have to do with a comparison of present-day methods of school administration with the practices in vogue in large industrial and commercial establishments. By such comparisons the Commission hopes to point out economics which might be effected without any depreciation of the quality of the school facilities. The comparisons will result in making additional funds available for the expansion of the school plant without adding to the present burden of the taxpayer. Cost Doubles In 5 Years The annual cost of public education has nearly doubled during the past five years and is almost four times as great as it was in 1915. Some of this unusual increase can, of course, be explained by the loss in the value of the dollar and by the rapid growth in school attendance. In the meantime, all of it. Some of it has certainly been due to a growing insistence on the part of the public for more and better schools, modern equipment, greater play facilities, increased extra-curricular activities, better pay for teachers in order to obtain better teachers, an expansion of health conservation facilities such as dental and medical clinics, and a host of other facilities that provide positive belief in the public school as an institution which is essential to the welfare and progress of the Nation. Commission Personnel The Commission has elected Dr. Ballou as its permanent president and has accepted the invitation of Secretary Work to establish its headquarters in the building of the Department of the Interior. The other members are: Hon. John J. Tigert, Commissioner of the Bureau of Education, and Dr. Thomas Tenderson, President of Education of Pennsylvania, designated by Secretary Work of the Interior Department; Elliott H. Goodwin, resident vice president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and Ernest Greenwood, vice president of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia, designated by Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce; Professor Geoffrey H. Columbus University and John H. Beveridge, Superintendent of Schools at Omaha, designated by Dr. Ballou to represent the Department of Superintendence, National Education Association. Greensboro, N.C. - President Bluford, Director Staley, Supervisor Simmons and Mr. W. H. Williamson, a member of the Sophomore College class, A. and T. College, attended the annual meeting of the North Carolina Negro Farmers' Congress, which was held in the Court House of Anson County, Waderborn, North Carolina, January 1920. For the first time in the history of the Agricultural Society, an organization composed of the students and teaching force of the Agricultural Department, of A. and T. College, a student representative was chosen and sent to the Congress. The Agricultural Society feels that a forward step has been made and that much good will be wrought. Upon the annual meeting of the Congress was "Home Ownership Through Better Farming." Federal and State Agents were present and contributed largely to the success of the meeting by freely participating in the various activities. President F. D. Bluford, A. and T.

Florida A. and M. REV. J. W. JACKSON, HEARD Tallahassee, Fla.-On Sund a afternoon Rev. J. W. Jackson of the Presbyterian Church, preached to the faculty and students of Fla. A. and M. College. "Get Rid of the Scarecrow in Your Life," was the theme of the sermon of Rev. Jackson. Most of the difficulties in life are, we climb the hill before we get to it, was another way the speaker brought home his point of never permitting the affairs of life to overcome you though at first they do seem difficult. A thought that will remain long in the minds of his hearers was "Pontinus Pilate had the opportunity to be the greatest man in history, but he was afraid of the crowd, afraid of the crowd, following the dictates of his own mind he followed the will of the multitude and let a scarcerow keep him from a favorable place in history. State College Orangeburg, S. C., Jan. 30.—On Friday evening the auditorium of State College was filled with students and patrons to hear the Junior and Senior College. Public Speaking exercises. Current issues of important world problems seemed to pervade the thought of all those who spoke. The following subjects are typical examples: "Youth's Attitude Toward World Problems" by New York University; "Negro Education a Challenge to American Democracy" "The Negro's Future in Business and Education" and "Athletics in Modern Colleges." Of equal significance in the choice of subjects was the emphasis the students put upon the Negro's part in the solution of these world problems. In Negro Business, Miss Mauro Guzman, the lack of success was due to the lack of experience and training and that he could not hope to succeed until he followed a well worked scientific system. Mr. Robert L. Witherspoon's challenge to American Democracy was that there should be more equal distribution of funds and equipment given toward Negro education in State and Federal Governments. The program was indeed one that engaged the interest of every thoughtful hearer and showed much effort on the part of all who had worked to make it a success. The most important work of local and public interest as well as value at the State College this week was a series of religious services for strengthening Christian influences and helping students to develop a moral living. Forts were made to have most of the students who were unconverted to take a definite stand for the "Christian Way of Life." Ninety per cent or more of those in the college, not already definitely associated with some church or professing Christianity, decided to take the stand in these meetings. The college chapel was transformed into a veritable church Valuable and effective service in this connection was rendered by the Rev. R. E. Brogdon, pastor of Williams Chapel A. M. E. Church, of this city, who has had wide experience in religious learning, students, members of the faculty, and members of this effort were Prof. B. E. Mays of the English Department, a Master of Arts Department Chicago University, and a man of practical experience; Prof. A. H. Gordon of the Department of His tory and Economics, Faculty Director of the Y. M. C. A.; Dr. R. S. Wilkinson, president of the College. Kittrell College Mrs. Sallie C. Norris, who has been confined to Jubilee Hospital at Henderson, N. C. is again able to be back among her many Friends at the college. Mrs. Norris is the mother of Mrs. G. A. Edwards, wife of the President. A revival consisting of an inspiring series of meetings has been held at the college this week conducted by Rev. S. S. Morris who is the General Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League with offices at Nashville, Tenn. Miss Midred Stout, teacher-training instructor, who has been ill for several days is again able to deliver her work much to the delight of all. Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Thomas and children of Louisburg, N. C. spent Sunday with their daughter, Jessie, who is attending school here. Much to the surprise of both the students and faculty members of Kittrell College, the Dean of Theological Department, Rev. E. F. G. Dent, took unto himself a bride during the holidays. Rev. and Mrs. Dent are at home to their many friends at Kittrell, N. C. Miss Sarah Wilson, teacher in the college spent the week-and visiting her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson of Raleigh. A number of the members of the faculty motored to Henderson to attend the performance of "The Bohemian Girl" a comic opera. Howard University Washington, N. C.—The Week of Prayer for Colleges was observed at Howard University by special exercises. Meetings have been held during the week by the various classes and societies of the university through the effort of prayer on the minds of all attending. Dr. Vernon Johns, pastor of the Court Street Baptist Church, of Lynchburg, Virginia, who was the principal speaker of the week, delivered addresses to the faculty and student body at the College Hour assembly Wednesday, January 27, and on the Day of Prayer for Colleges, Thursday, January 28, and several others spoke to special groups during the Week of Prayer. These addresses were characterized by a very remarkable historic interpretation of the scriptures, the personal social application of its ethical teachings to the college men and women of today in training for leadership in the Negro race, great spiritual power, and the indescribable eloquence of a great personality filled with the truth and love of Jesus and his passion for humanity. Try-outs for the Varsity Debating Teams were held in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, on the University Campus, last Thursday evening, January 28, at 8 o'clock, at which time selections were made from among the participants of the various first and second teams to take part in the Annual Triangular Debate between Howard, Lincoln and Union Universities and the dual debate between Howard and Atlanta Universities. Considerable interest is being manifested in this extra-curricular activity. More than thirty students participated in the try-outs. The project which was the one to be debated in the first try-outs was "Resolved, that Coeducation in Higher Institutions is Beneficial." In addition to striving to secure a place on the coveted debating teams which represent the university in the various intercollegiate debates, the participants in the try-outs also wish to secure the award which is presented each year to the best individual debater.

German Government Official Visits Wilberforce (By Preston News Service) Wilberforce, O., Feb. 4.—Capt. C. J. Steubal, with his wife, of Dresden, Germany, who is in the United States representing the German Government in investigating land conditions in Arkansas, visited Wilberforce University last week. "To learn about the country," he says, "one should study his schools." Capt. Steubel was especially interested in the classes of German and sociology. Capt. Steubel received his law degree from the University of Leipzig and has made a special study of French and English literature. He was much impressed with the work being done at Wilberforce and in his talk to the students of the classes visited commended them as well as encouraged them to characterize the strength. He emphasized the importance of developing a race of thinkers. He declared, "There is no way to stop progress of a race of thinkers. Show me a race that has progressed and I will show you a race of thinkers." Wilberforce Notes Wilberforce, O.-President and Mrs. Gilbert H.

There ix no more truth in it than thal white persons cannot get alow without aissvciation with black and’ colored persons, We never hear that sort of arguiaent ad- anced.

And there is ny reason why the one ‘should be any better than tive other.

Among the newspapers (hat have spoken ont cour- ageously against the bill is the Lynchburg News and the Norfolk Virginian-Pilat, The Former paper is owned by United State Sen- ‘ator Carter Glass, and ax such reflects the views of that distinguished Virginian upon this particular question. Amonje the individuals who appeared hefore the commitice on general kavwes in up- position {a the meastre were Dr. S.C. Mitchell, of the University of Richmond; Dr. R. E, Blackwell, president of Randolph- Macon College: Mr. J. Séott Parish, presi- dent of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce And the Rev. Beverly D. Tucker. rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond and a native of Norfolk. ‘Those who are promoting this bill are un- doultedly actuated by hatreds and_jealous- ies, the rectnt heavy endowment vf Hamp- ton Institute figuring largely in the equation. Note this statement from the Richmond Fime:-Disputeh: “Gp to this time, the domi- nant race in Virginia has felt justified in trusting the colored people with whom the whites have lived in friendship and under standing for many years not to make‘any cffort to create auch an issue. * °° St is well to take time hy the forelock so that if the THampton Institute influence develops into concrete cffurt there will be laws on the statute books of Virgivia to meet that effort and crush it. Let the rich philanthra- piste of otter sections preach ricial equality and refuse to prictice it. We in Virginia either preach il nor practice it. wor will we peruiit it to be practiced in Virginin. Get Uw General Assembly pass the bill ond make Virginia ready.” The Southern white woman whom we quote in another colunm on this paige under the caption of “A Higher Concept vf the Negro,” affords the only possible answer to ‘such sentiments ar those expressed by the Times-Dispatch when she says: “The atti- tude of resontment toward the advancement af the Nogro race iz due to false education as ly what the Neseo freeman now stants for.” Why Henson Went to the North Pole With Rear Admiral Peary There has always been more or tess of controversy in the American and European prose as to why Rear Admiral Peary selected Malthew Henson, his capable Negro asso. inte, instead of a white mun to accompany: him on the last dash for the North Pole, whon it was decided that only (we could 4 There was everything at stake.
