FAVORABLE REPORT ON ANTI-LYNCHING BILI TWO NORFOLK YOUNG WOMEN TAKE POISON Follow The Guide It Leads to Progress VOL. XXVI No. 9 FAVOR TWO DEMOCRATS SCORE GRANT TO HOWARD Lowery, of Mississippi, And Tydings, of Maryland, Declare Negro Race Not Dependent Upon 'Paternalism' ATTACK APPROPRIATION AS BEING ILLEGAL (External Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 24- More than $4,000,000 in illegal appropriations have been given to Howard University out of the Federal treasury, it was declared in a minority report submitted to the House by the Committee on Education last Friday. The report is signed by Representatives B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, and Millard E. Tydings, of Maryland. They are Democrats. The Report "In the founding of Howard University, 150 acres of land was purchased at a cost of $1,000 per acre. In 1873 or thereabouts much of this land was sold at four times its cost. In the game year the Freedman's Bureau gave the school $500,000, so that within seven years of its inception the school had funds from two single sources of well over half a million dollars. "Just what was done with this fund the catalogue does not recount; " by 1875 the university was $100,000 in debt. But expenses were cut, private contributions were received, and in 1879 Congress came in to relieve the situation." From 1879 to 1925 inclusive a grand total of $4,159,815.50 was appropriated out of the Federal Treasury to Howard University. All Illegal "All these appropriations," the report says, "have been illegal. The introduction of the present bill is an admission of that fact, and such ruling has too often been made in the Congress to require that this proposition he discussed Not only is it without statutory foundation but it is contrary to the spirit, if not to the letter, of the Constitution. There is no legal ground on which the support of a private institution by Government bands can be justified; and there is an constitutional ground in which the enforcing and an institution for the best of all a class of persons who are citizens of the United States and in no sense the peculiar wards of the government can be deferred. "If we have the right to appropriate to Howard University we have an equal right to appropriate to George Washington University. Howard is under a self-perpetuating board that does not report to the government in any way nor to the mayor authority, but the money is absolute gratuity simply handed to these trustees without any strings on it. Measure Not Necessary "A measure of this sort is not necessary for the cause of Negro education. The Negro year book, 1918-19, reports that since 1865 religious and philanthropic organizations had up to that time contributed $63,500,000 to Negro education in the South. The Negroes themselves had contributed $30,000,000. Negro institutions in the country in 1919 had an endowment total of about $10,000,000. This has been very largely increased since 1919. Within the year or so the press has an awards to give to Negro education totalling $80,000. Willberforce, Ohio, reported in 1919 an increase of $175,000 with 487 students. Tuskegee Institute in Alabama reported an income of $282,480, with about 1,800 students. These two institutions and others are living proof of the fact that Negro education can be supported and can flourish without illegal appropriation from the Federal treasury and hurtful paternalistic hampering. In addition to many of the great universities of the country are open for Negro as well as for white students. The Negro yearbook lists some 35 Negro students who have made Phi Beta Kappa at (Continued on Page Seven). Norfolk Journal and Guide Locks Self In Bedroom And Takes Poison Mrs. M. Burnette, 705 E a s t Charlotte street, in a fit of melancholy, took a dose of beechwood crescoe sufficient probably to prove fatal in what the police are convinced was a suicide attempt in her home Friday afternoon. The beechwood concoction is a deadly poison, it is said, and the woman was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in the condo condition. Burnette, her husband, who reported the affair to the police stated that when he arrived home Monday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock, he found his wife's bedroom door locked from the inside. Breaking the door open, he discovered Mrs. Burnett lying across the bed in an unconscious condition. No cause for the attempted suicide has been learned, it is said. ATLANTA SOLONS LET OUT SECRET ON BARBER LAW Substitutes Measure Prohibiting Colored Barbers Serving White Women Or Children Under 14 Years of Age (Special Correspondence) Atlanta, Ga.—The City Council, smarting under the sting of the nation-wide ridicule and denunciation levied at it by the press of the nation's recent action in passing an ordinance prohibiting Negro barbers from serving white customers, in a meeting Monday of last week resorted to an artifact which its members feel quite certain will produce reacting sentiment upon Southern psychology, by substituting for the attacked ordinance to compromise measure negro barbers to serve white women, or children under 14 years of age. The measure was passed unanimously. Purpose Accomplished The compromise measure virtually accomplishes the purpose sought to accomplish in the denounced ordinance. The keeping white children from being served by colored barbers until after they have attained to their 14th year, is paramount to keeping them away for life. In the 14 years of the child's life, the white barbers will have so shaped its color psychology that there will be no chance of his considering turning to a Negro barber. Motive Exposed The inclusion of white women in the ordinance reveals that besides the Council's aim to cripple the Negro's opportunity of economic competition by a prohibitory law, the unreasonable sensitivity of Atlanta councilmen in the matter of "white women and colored men" even in the relation of servant and the served was also a motivating influence in desiring some similar measure. The Council has artfully raised this issue by inference, which it expects to appease whatever denunciatory sentiment that might otherwise develop. The Savannah Tribune, commenting editorially upon this compromise resolution among other things said: "The proposed ordinance was palpably unjust, and not only that, if thoroughly thrashed out in the courts, would be found unconstitutional. The city council should have immediately rescinded it, but the members could not stand the idea of capitulating where the colored people are concerned. A compromise was reached. The law as it now stands does not prohibit the practice of shaving and hair cutting of men, but does prevent colored men bobbing the hair of white women. The proper kind of reacting sentiment was made when mere sentiment was made of colored men bobbing the hair of white women. There was no necessity for this alarm. Cases of this kind were nearly nilh but it had to be caught to save the day. This ordinance goes to show the state of mind of certain narrow gauge persons. To be consistent they should carry the prohibitive line further by preventing the hire of colored OPPOSITION TO COBB SEEN IN THE SENATE Democratic Members May Inquire Into His Activities In Behalf of Proposed Liberian Loan. CONFIRMATION BY SENATE EXPECTED (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C.), Feb. 24— the nomination of James A. Cobb to be judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia has been referred to a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee. This subcommittee is composed of Charles S. Deneen, of Illinois, and Rice W. Means, of Colorado, Republicans, and William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. No Protest Received As late as last Monday no protests against the confirmation of Mr. Cobb had been received by the Judiciary Committee. His nomination was referred to a subcommittee in keeping with the regular procedure with respect to all judicial appointments. A fight against his confirmation, however, is developing. The indications are that it will be led by Democratic Senators. His connections with activities in behalf of a proposed Liberian loan by this government in 1922 may be inquired into. It has not been determined whether or not the subcommittee will hold hearings on the nomination. Carter Woodson Refutes Report About His Health Washington, D. C.—Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and editor of the Journal of Negro History, in a communication to the newspapers this week, refutes the recent report published in the Baltimore Afro-American concerning the state of his health. Woodson says the report is a misrepresentation. He is in good physical condition, cats much, works hard and sleeps well. He has not lost a day for twelve months, he declares. The following letter Dr. Woodson has sent to the editor of the Afro-American requesting the refutation of the statement he published. "Editor, The Afro-American, Baltimore, Md. "My dear Mr. Murphy: I appreciate very much your interest in what I am doing. However, I think that the matter which you published on the front page of the "Afro-American" last week will do this cause harm. "A physician did tell me sometime ago that if I did not go more slowly I would kill myself soon, but he made no definite statement as that which you published in your paper. I am working myself to death for the Negro, but my health is generally good. I must request, therefore, that you publish this letter in the same conspicuous position on your front page as you did in the case of what you released last week.

Johnson could give the police no clue to the identity of his alleged assailant; nor assign any motive for the attack.

By J. A. ROGERS Richmond, Va.—Those who have never been south of the Mason-Dixon line may think they know something about the real color struggle but it is my firm conviction that they don't. I say this after hearing the arguments on the so-called race integrity bill which came up recently for a hearing committee in the Virginia Senate. So-called Negroes, who have always lived in the North can J. A. Rogers, author-journalist, writing of his impressions of the Virginia General Assembly gained while recently attending the senate hearing on the Massenburg bill, asserts that non-Southerners know nothing about "the real color struggle." He says "so-called Negroes who have always lived in the North can have no idea of what their Southern brethren are up against." Mr. Rogers witnessed, according to the story below in his own words, a group of Virginians frantically endeavoring to enact a law against a group of citizens which the state is afraid to apply to Chinese, Japanese and other non-white aliens. He heard the Norfolk Journal and Guide referred to as one of the think they know something about the real color struggle but it is my firm conviction that they don't. I say this after hearing the arguments on the so-called race integrity bill which came up recently for a hearing before a committee in the Virginia Senate. So-called Negro lives have always lived in the North can have no idea what their Southern brethren are really up against. And Virginia is highly civilized compared with Mississippi. In those three hours I learned more about the psychology of the Southern white man than I have in three years. At a similar hearing in any Northern legislature, except perhaps states like Indiana, the issue would be whether there should be segregation. At that hearing in Richmond, segregation was taken as a prime necessity by both attackers and advocates of the bill. As I heard both sides vaunting of white supremacy and of the major qualities suppressed by Saxon blood—God only knows what that is—I really couldn't decide which side I objected to the more. If anything, my sympathies were with the advocates for they at least were frank, while the attackers attempted to pacify and smooth over, and really seemed so almamed over the Chinese and the Japanese that one would have thought they were the citizens and the Negro the alien. Well, the Japanese have battleships and the colored folks—well Hampton Institute The fight centered around Hampton Institute which seems to be a little too prosperous to jibe with current notions of "white superiority." Later, from the Crisis and the Norfolk Journal and Guide were blocked by the opposition, and I noted how the assembled so lions were about to stampede by the little they had heard of the threat I realized what the oppressors of the thief had in their mouth. They had their head in the lion's mouth and were trying to ease it out. This is why I say that the Northern Negro doesn't know what the Southern one is up against. Hampton was accused of the "horrible practice of social equality." Delegate Massenburg whiled the attack began with the usual bunk about the love for colored folk and that "Virginia will never enact any bill hostile to colored people," but that he "couldn't see where colored people could be offended by segregation laws." He painted a horrible picture of the conditions said he visited at Hampton with full results that would follow if not checked—said horrible conditions being that citizens of different colors sometimes sat side by side in an assembly hall there. The next speaker was Col. W. S. Copeland, publisher of the Newport News Daily Press, who also vehemently protested how fond he was of colored folk. Indeed everyone, friend and foe, was impressed that I could great difficulty in restraining myself from shedding a few crocodile tears, too. The colonel who told the usual story about his people having owned slaves, his black mummy, and so on said: "The niggers in that institution are being taught that there ought not be niggers between themselves and white people. If you wipe out the color line we are gone. There will be no power on J. A.

He says "so-called Negroes who have always lived in the North can have no idea of what their Southern brethren are up against." Mr. Rogers witnessed, according to the story below in his own words, a group of Virginians frantically endeavoring to enact a law against a group of citizens which the state is afraid to apply to Chinese, Japanese and other non-white aliens. He heard the Norfolk Journal and Guide referred to as one of the most powerful organs of opinion among Negroes and accused of making "this breaking down of color in a letter of principle." In the opposition to the measure he saw great solicitude for "Chinese and Japanese gentlemen"; a feared reflection its passage might have on the white race. earth to prevent the nigger from entering our homes and marrying your daughter. We are going to have serious trouble if you do not pass the act to protect our citi- SAYS STATE IS SLANDERED IN ANTI-RACE BILLS Denouncing the Massenburg Bill (so-called racial integrity bill) as "an application of race agitation with a vengeance," the Rev. J. F. Love, Richmond office of the Baptist Foreign Mission Board, declared in a speech before the Senate Committee on general laws here last week that, "Laws are supposed to be made for the punishment of the guilty, but the frantic inter-racial agitation which we have had and which supports warmly bills like this, ignores the guilty and favors laws which penalize victims of his crime." The bill shies the slightest mention of that foul meeting of the races which has given both races their greatest shame, and with this amazing silence concerning the guilty fixed penalties for the victims of his sins down to the third and fourth generations, and includes under these penalties all colored or non-white races." The bill is supported by and its passage is urged because of conditions with which declared to exist at Hampton Institute. We do not know anything about the conditions in that school. If there is anything wrong there, it ought to be righted by wise and proper means, but no one would ever learn from reading this bill, that it was intended to correct ills in the Hampton school. It is a bill for the whole state and all white and non-white races, and Hampton is used only to get passed a piece of comprehensive, inclusive and indiscriminate legislature. It has a marks of a product of the heat and pride and the heat and pride of propaganda and administration which has been conducted in this state for some time past. Take the key words which introduce and explain the purpose of the document: "A bill requiring the separation of white and colored persons at public halls, etc., public assemblages" include all non-white peoples, Negroes, Chinese, Japanese, etc., and assemblages includes the chapels at the University of Richmond, Union Theological Seminary, and other like institutions. Applicant (Continued on Page A) FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS SAYS HOOD COMES BACK VOLUNTARILY State Department Denies Reports That His Failure In Firestone Rubber Co. Negotiations Caused Withdrawal ILL-HEALTH SAID TO CAUSE RETURN Washington, D. C., Feb. 24—Illness is the only reason for the return to this country of Solomon Porter Hood, minister resident and consul general at Monrovia, Liberia, according to the State Department. Newspaper reports had it that Mr. Hood was returning because of his failure to put through the United States program in Liberia, which involved the $100,000,000 investment' of the Firestone Rubber Company. The proposals regarding the Firestone investment were rejected by the Liberian legislature at its December meeting. Ill Several Months The State Department denied these charges. Officials of the State Department explained Tuesday that Mr. Hood was ill and has been for several months, and he returned to the United States at his own request. The nature of his allness was not known at the State Department, but officials said that their reports were that he had fainted in Monrovia on several occasions. Mr. Hood is still in New York. He is expected here within a week to confer with State Department officials. The question of a successor to Mr. Hood has not come up, inasmuch as he has not resigned, it was said. His term is indefinite. Reid Page Clark (white) was assigned as charge-de-affaires at Monrovia, Liberia, State Department officials said, because knows more about Liberia than the foreign service. Ciflion R. Wharton, who is the secretary of the legation at Monrovia, Liberia, was not put in charge of affairs because he is only a third secretary, it was said, and has not had enough experience to be in charge. He has been in the diplomatic service less than a year, State Department officials said, and could not be very well put in charge. DEPOSED BISHOP URGES RACE TEST OF CHRISTIANITY DEPOSED BISHOP URGES RACE TEST OF CHRISTIANITY In Lincoln's Birthday Address, William M. Brown Advises Colored Auditors To Attend White Church. (By Associated Negro Press.) New York, Feb. 25—A Negro audience in Harlem on Lincoln's birthday was urged by William Montgomery Brown, deposed bishop of the Episcopal Church, to go as a body to the largest and most wealthy white church in New York and take it to the church. His audition at first thought he was kidding, but the ex-bishop assured them he was not and declared he would go along. "Go enmasse to the best and most beautiful church in all the world," he urged. "Go to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. When you enter the house of prayer, pray for the establishment there of the kingdom of God. You'll find Bishop Manning there, and you may find God. Don't be backward in association with the millionaires there. Go down next Sunday and bring them the message of freedom, equality and fraternity." Since Mr. Brown was put out of his church he has shown a very friendly spirit toward Negroes. Many years ago when he was bishop of Arkansas he wrote books about the man and denied them a place in the white man's heaven. His prejudice has been lost in his heresy. CHING AKE P "Things All Gone Wrong",Tired of Living, She Says Lying in a critical condition on a cot in St. Vincent's Hospital, where she was carried after swallowing seven and a half grains of bichloride of mercury Monday afternoon just before 6 o'clock, Miss Mary Mahogany, 24, of 510 East Brambleton avenue, declared to Detective Nowitzky, coroner's investigator: "Everything has gone wrong, I am tired of living." The young woman had attempted suicide. Owing to the seriousness of her condition, no definite story was obtained from her of just why she had concluded that life had ceased to be of interest to her. It is said that the young woman's chances of recovery are about even. BAILEY GRIFFIN SLAIN BY WIFE IN SCUFFLE Alleged Notorious Bootlegger Stain While In Act Of Beating His Spouse, Who Claims Cruel Treatment. Bailey Griffin, alleged notorious bootlegger, widely-known under- world character and dapper dress, died on the operating table in St. Vincent's Hospital Monday af- ternoon at 4:40 o'clock from a stab wound in the lung, inflicted by his wife, Edna, just a few minutes earlier in their home at 728 Pulaski street. Detective Nowitzky, answering a summons to the hospital, f ound Griffin dead when he arrived there. Before he left the place, Mrs. Griffin came, met the detective and asked him how seriously was her husband wounded. She denied knowledge of how he came by his injuries, but upon being in- formed by her detective that she stabbed him, declaring, "he has been beating on me for three years, and I told him the next time he beat me I was going to cut him." The woman was placed under arrest and charged with murder. Tuesday she was admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000, on her plea of self-defense. Mrs. Griffin's Story Mrs. Griffin, a woman apparently 23 or 24 years of age, relating her version of the circumstances leading up to the killing, said that for three years, ever since her marriage, her husband had been beating her. A short while ago she told him that if he beat her again she was going to cut him. Monday afternoon he came home under the influence of liquor, immediately engaged his wife in an argument and proceeded to administer to her the usual beating. Nora Clark, Henry Diggs, of Ainne street, and Tom Long Street, street, house at the courting to Mrs. Griffin's story. Nora pulled Bailey off his wife. The man then turned to beating Nora, and was made to desist from this by Diggs and Long. Infuriated, he then ran into the kitchen where his wife had sought safety, seized and resumed beating her. She then drew a knife and thrust the blade into his chest. Bailey fell mortally wounded. He was rushed to St. Vincent's Hospital where he died a few minutes later. Well Known Character Griffin was well known about town. Always sleek and well groomed, possessor of an automobile, he was respected by the men of the underworld and fancied by its women. He was generally regarded as a successful bootlegger, but he was also known to maintain his liberty, even though he had been on occasions arrested and charged with possession of liquor. About three years, ago, he married the young woman who on Monday slew him. She was a woman of a retiring disposition, and a number of people who knew both the man and woman were againt at the match. He held the table with his wife, however, although he was known to lead a high life until the day of his death.

BLYDEN LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS UP WELL Annual Report of Miss Mary D. Pretlow Touching The Branch Shows Increasing Interest In Institution. "The Blyden branch circulated a few more books than in 1924, and the branch librarian there remarks that the grown people in the neighborhood are showing an increasing interest in the library," declares Miss Mary D. Pretlow, Norfolk librarian, in her annual report submitted to the board of directors last week. The Blyden branch is located in the Dumbar school on E. Princess Anne road, and is the colored branch of the library association. "Continuing, Miss Pretlow states: "The physical conditions of the Blyden Branch are bad as the two small rooms are quite inadequate for the crowds that fill the library every afternoon." Her report mentions the worth to Norfolk children of the exhibition which was arranged by the head of the children's department of the Norfolk Public Library and shown at the main library from March 9-14, and at the Blydon Branch for one day. This exhibition consisted of model collection of children loaned by the American Library Association. In reference to the service to children, Miss Pretlow's report asserts: "Hour-stories have been here, particularly at the Main Library and branches, with a total attendance of over 5,000. The Tanner's Creek Branch led with the Blydon Branch a close second. The activities of the children's department have been many and varied, and the result have been most enjoyable. A large and important work lies before this department if the library is to keep pace with the development and growth of Norfolk. "I quote from the report of Marienne Martin, head of the children's department: "I wish I could make an appeal for the children of Norfolk so eloquent that it would bring results. A plea to have good books within the reach of all the children of this city, trained children's librarians to interest them in those books, to guide the taste in childhood away from what is low and evil, to teach them to love, through books, the things that are fine; in short, to interest them so that books and reading might become a vital force in their lives, helping them toward right living and right thinking. "So Much Lies Ahead "The ground has been cleared for library service. The children, the teachers, will move on to let in help them—more, they are beginning to ask for the library's aid. Can not we meet the demand? A larger staff in the children's department is essential to any real advance in the work." During the year several new volumes on various subjects have been added to the Blyden branch a large percentage of these being books for teachers, parents and manifesting a greater interest in the institution and the children are cultivating an admirable taste for clean reading. TRAVELERS' AID WORK EFFECTIVE Means Much To Citizens Of Norfolk In Guiding The Stranger Tru Its Gates. Among the various agencies organized among our group for welfare service is the Travelers' Aid Society, an organization whose aim, like other social agencies, is the betterment of conditions of human beings, but the scope of Travelers' Aid is wavelong and, instead of "affirming" that it different is asked, The difference is that Travelers' Aid meets all travelers at all boats and trains and serves their needs, under any and all conditions. The colored branch of Norfolk's Travelers' Aid Society is glad to have a live worker at boats and trains to meet our traveling people, and serve their needs, directing and protecting them, especially girls, women and children—guarding and warning them from dangers seen and unseen—coming as "strangers within our gates." Thousands and thousands of such have passed through the city and have been prevented from falling into many snakes—the "ounce of prevention and pound of cure" often being the guiding thought of the worker. The worth of Travelers' Aid to a city means much—its value—unestimated.—T. A. Auxiliary. City Social and Personal Mr. W. T.

Many girls are staining or thinning theirs so that their hair heads shall be small and the Quality of your hair much more important than color present. Hair should be healthy and smooth. shiny shoes should be flexible, in them the blood should circumfrey to nourish the hair.* **Short hair.** continues Misa's sise, "and simple flat coiffures generally becoming to girls, every season, however, and with my fashion, the face comes first. Your head is flat at the back, and nose is prominent, perhaps need the balance that a knot hair will give. If your forehead and your hair fine, though the hair and center parts are the ones, you'll do well, maybe, to see a side part and to wave hair to soften the forehead.* Round heads may be sleek, long now ones are often benefited by little fluffiness. Dark hair is easiest straight or flatly waved, the fair hair often looks better. The short thick neck is usely benefited by cutting the hair raising the knot; the effect of long thin neck may be lessened in low horizontal roll or figure If you don't like the way your looks, experiment. Take two one, in your hand and one the wall. Try your hair flatter furrier. Try your knot higher, rather, broader.

No head should be judged in the neck up. * * * Once in a while, of course, as courses come and go, we come to season of fuzzy hair dressing. I stand pat on my belief that simplest coiffure gives your the best chance. A nice face can't need an elaborate hair arrangement, and a poor face can't do it."

VogueforSlenderness Creates Medical Problem VogueforSlenderness Creates Medical Problem The desire for slenderness, which is so prevalent among American women, has caused much of the ill health among present day women. is the opinion of many scientists and physicians. With fashions demanding that a woman must be thin, numbers of the feminine sex have resorted to such rigid dieting as to constitute a real menace to health. Alarmed by the wide spread reports of the resultant suffering from the fad for the slender figure, twenty-five scientists and physicians recently held a two-day conference in New York, with the hope of evolving a normal weight scale for adults. This scale will be a great help for those who diet to guard against the dangers of getting too thin. ATTENTION: GIRLS: In this column each week, Naomi will help you with your problems. Questions on conduct question, dress, love or any subject that you are interested in will be carefully considered and answered. If your father, mother and address them to "Naomi," Care Norfalk Journal and Guide, 711 E. Olin Road. E. CHAPERON IS NECESSARY Dear Naomi: I am a girl of 16 years of age and in the third year high school. I want to know if it is correct for me to go to dances with just another girl friend. Will it be alright if a boy friend calls on me every Sunday night. My mother does not approve. BROWN EYES Dear Brown Eyes: The very fact that your mother does not approve should tell you it is not correct. For a true mother has her children' welfare at heart. You see you need more protection than just another girl friend. Let your mother or some other older relative take you to the dance and return for you. Girls in third year high school should not give so much time to boys. There will be time a plenty in the future. It is alright to have some boy friends call sometime, but there should be no steady calling time for boys and girls so young. CULTIVATE FRIENDS FOR POPULARITY Dear Naomi: I am a brown eyed girl, tall and considered good looking and I am asking you to tell me why I find it hard to hold my friends, both male and female. I feel they are always trying to put one over on me in so many mean ways. I am very studious and yet I never seem to get into the fun like so many others. My dear, you told me what the trouble was right off. You must not feel that everyone is trying to put it over on you, because a feeling of that kind will make you so miserable. The girls and boys who treat you kindly, cultivate them. Be your own sweet self and try to show them some kindness in return and I am sure they will respond. It is nice that, you are studious, but make no great show of your knowledge. For folks will always find out what you know. UNWELCOME 'ATTENTIONS Dear Naomi: I have been going with a boy about a year, but we are on the outs now. I have passed thru the streets lately and seen him in some very bad company and not at all careful of his personal appearance and as I am a high school senior I would like to know if you think I did right to tell him to either stop or not to come to see me. TROUBLED I am sure you did right and will not regret it in the future, because if there is good in him (and there is in every one) and he wants to make good he will leave his bad companions and improve his ways, as well as keeping himself neat. We need more girls like you. The boys will improve when the girls make them. HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER, Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking Powder Co. SCHOOL LUNCHEONS The more we learn about the necessity for balanced rations, the more serious the problem of children's school luncheon becomes. It is a subject that requires daily, daily attention. The municipal school luncheon committee is doing great experimental work for the mother. By watching school results one can best adapt the menus that prove best for the child. If possible it is better for a child to come home at noon for lunch and have a bowl of hot broth or soup, a baked apple with cream and some cookies. If too heavy a lunch is eaten, instead of being refreshed as well as well nourished, the child will be drowsy during the afternoon. Caesar is quoted as having warned his soldiers to "eat just enough to repair powers, not dead on them." It requires continual ingenuity to keep the luncheon that the child carries tasty and well-balanced. Sandwiches and cake should be wrapped in oiled papers, as should salad, stuffed eggs, cookies, etc. A stock of this oiled paper should always be kept on hand for just such use. High school students need a variety in foods. At this age their growth is rapid and the protein or "building" food such as milk, meat, fish, eggs, etc., should be abundant. Meat is all right for lunch, but it should be served in an appetizing form. If sliced thin, it is more appetizing in sandwiches than if in thick pieces. Keep each variety of food distinct from all others. Beverages or soups may be carried in thermos bottles, but they must be carefully washed and aired daily after using. Crisp lettuce and celery carefully washed and dried may be so wrapped in oiled paper that they will be fresh and in good condition at lunch time. Lettuce should not be used in sandwiches, for wilted lettuce is almost indigestible. Special menu suggestions will gladly be sent to any one who wishes help in preparing dainty and wholesome school lunchouts.

Mr. Roddy was so impressed with their singing and unique methods that he at once decided to give them a chance to display their abilities to the theatre going public, and entered into a contract with them. Wednesday evening, Detective Lean Nowitzky visited Roddy in Boston. It is said Mr. Roddy has arranged to provide them a tutor and to pay them regular salaries, but has not yet fully decided upon his method of presenting his unusual singers. Details of this will be worked out later. The public generally has recognized the ability of the little Waterminton Quattette ever since it first appeared on the streets several years ago, but its only method of showing its appreciation of that ability was to toss coins to the boys at their impromptu concerts. Now they are to get their chance to eventually sing their way into the real money. Just how these four youngsters first got together and began to harmonize has never been explained, in fact there were originally six of them. Now they were originally sang while two wicked for the cops, and many occasions their singing has had the tendency to block traffic and cause the blue-coats to make them break up their concerts.

Tuesday, February 16th, at five p.m., we had our regular group meeting. The meeting was opened by the vice president, Van Buren Luke in the absence of the president. Our club president, Mr. E. S. Peters, then introduced Mr. P. B. Young, editor of the Journal and Guido, who gave us a talk which was both interesting and inspiring. Mr. Peters also addressed us. The boys are eager to develop a basketball team which is shown by their having tacked up an old tub in lieu of the proper equipment. The wrestling and boxing mathes among the younger gorups are amusing and interesting. The officers of our group are: President, Damon Tucker; vice-president, Van Buren Luke; secretary, Walter Billijs; sergeant-at-arms, Arma Cecil Harris. Our library has been opened with one of our group in charge. It already contains a number of Magazines and our local weekly paper. We are glad to have our directors visit us. We extend them a hearty welcome. This week several important phases of athletic work took place in the Boys' Club Athletic room. One contest that attracted considerable attention was a twin meet, which consisted of a boxing and a basketball between Messrs J. Smith and J. Jordan, Thursday evening last. The beginning of this unusual match was the boxing contest for two rounds which after six minutes' duration ended in a draw. The first round won by Master Jordaard was one in which he let loose a lot of pent up power that he seemed to have been saving for Smith for a week, by the way he showered those blows on the wrist all round Smith began to realize that all those blows he had received were not friendly ones, and judging by the way he staged his wonderful comeback, he wished to give as much as he had received. If you do not believe me, ask Jordan, he knows. For who could take such a pounding and not feel the effects? Note: The two boys are just some members of the Club, and if you had been there to have them, I think you would have had a surprise, for the boys boxed better than could be expected for their sizes and ages. The wrestling match by the same boys was one of a highly interesting character. It appeared that they were not pleased at the outcome of the fight, for the one and wanted to whip the other. The only way they could accomplish their object and cool their ardor was by wrestling it off, so they went to it soul and body in a final effort to win unrivalled glory. The first fall in two minutes time was won by Jordan, who by a hook and twist of his own managed to pin the eelish form of Smith who appeared to have hidden rubber The Pri Norfolk Jour is 7 Ce The Price of the Norfolk Journal and Guide is 7 Cents Pay No More NEWS ITEMS ATHLETICS folk A.

The second and third falls were given a non-decision being won by neither of the wrestling contestants who both showed wonderful instinctive wrestling powers. In the fourth and last fall Smith won, being given the decision by pinning his opponent after a minute of real wrestling. In this round Jordan began to tire of the strain placed on him by the tactics of Smith, and this was the only one in which either of them showed a weakening yet that weakening was what waiting for the tables. Smith was waiting for his opponent to tire doubled his caution and after a little while the form of Jordan carressed the floor, being pinned there by triumphant Smith. Referee: Leroy Ryman. Note: Wrestling as an art statured many years ago, and it was during the time of the Ancient Greeks that it received its highest honors. Cruel as they form of wrestling was, many enjoyed the contests, for in those days men admired strength and grace in all forms of outdoor and indoor sports. Thus the ages the art of wrestling has come, until today it is indulged in by every nation in the world. The Japanese, the French, the small and simple of the Orient have given to us many new ideas on the art of wrestling, which they call Jiu-Jitsu, that has taught the other people of widest branch of wrestling. Among these various developments of wrestling are the full Nelson, half Nelson, the scissors, he head-lock and others which may be seen in display any time in a wrestling match. But the Japanese have proven to the world that more than strength is needed in this art, for they, themselves are not large powerful men of wrestling; more than the ability of being able to crush a man between your arms as a bear would—this is the mind. The Japanese have so trained their minds in the study of human anatomy that in wrestling they play their wits, not their strength, but their body. Having once gotten them as they wish, by a way known only to them—they can easily overpower a burley, healthily full-grown man. So, today, as we wrestle—the boys of the Boy's Club—although we do not wrestle as they did, we are developing powers, that go to make a man. His people, his friends and his countrymen can truthfully look at him and say with words of truth "He is a man's man, a person fit to be classed as one-hundred percent American." U. S. Jazz Band To Liven Soviet Cities Moscow, Russia, Feb. 24.—Russia heard a real American Negro jazz band for the first time it is said. Six Negro jazz artists, headed by Frank Withers, Emporia, Kans., broke a five year stay in Paris to go to Russia at the invitation of the Soviet Government. They have made a four months' contract with the Soviet. Philharmonic Society to enlist the dull night life of Russia's biggest cities with the latest American ragtime at $200 a night. The appearance Tuesday of one of the musicians outside of the Soviet Office carrying a huge saxophone exited great curiosity among the Russians, few of whom had ever seen a real American Negro, and to all of whom the saxophone was an entirely alien instrument. ce of the nal and Guide nts Pay No More ST.

Says State Is Slandered By The Anti-Race Bills (Continued from Page One) on which can be given for this and like attempts at legislation is the preservation of Anglo-Saxon purity and ideals. The citizens who protest this bill are men of stalwart but steady and calm conviction that the purity of the race and its best ideals should be preserved, indeed that the purity of every race should be. We are, too, familiar with the evidence on every hand that the white and colored races have not been as separate as they ought to be for the good of both, but every one knows that these unnatural shades of color are not due to public pressure. Neither this use the other bill now pending action by the Virginia Legislature even hints at legislation for those who have perpetrated the crime of which we have such evidence, between the races and safe separation that we are after, then let us make a law that will cover the evil at which we are striking. Ignore the Guilty "Laws are supposed to be made for the punishment of the guilty, but the frantic, inter-racial agitation which we have had and which supports warmly bills like this, ignores the guilty and favors laws which penalize the victim of his crime. The strongest argument for this bill and the separation of the races is, as we have said, the preservation of pure racial stock and best racial conditions, but the bill shies the slightest mention of that foul meeting of the races which has given both races their greatest shame, and with this a- Dr D Cooper EYESIGHT SPECIALIST 704 CHURCH ST.

This document made into law would put Chinese students, and Chinese gentlemen who come to Richmond to patronize communal amenages here, in Jim cars. We believe we have only to call the attention of this committee to these facts which are on the face of the bill to secure its defeat. Does Not Touch Evil "The bill does not touch the source of the evil of which we are warned of as a justification for this and similar legislation. The strongest and only plausible amazing silence encounters the guilty of his sins for the vicious of his sins down to the third and fourth generations, and includes under these penalties all colored or non-white races! Reflection on Whites Reflection on whites "We object to the bick because it casts an unwarranted reflection on the white race. To pass and publish this bill as a state law will light before the world and make the state the target of cheap flings and insinuations. The presumption raised by the bill is that all over Virginia the white people must be restrained by law from promiscuous mingling and association with Negroes. I can imagine a New Englander, reading this document and the arguments in favor of it drawn from conditions at Hampton concluding and declaring that the white men in it lusts white men and women from too much and too free intercourse with the Negroes and proving by this bill that these conditions are not confined to Hampton, because the bill covers the whole state. "We, your petitioners, believe in the first place that to pass a bill from which such inferences could be drawn would be to slander the good people of Hampton, and we know that there are no conditions in such conventions. The Legislature of Virginia ought not to be drawn into a partnership with such slander. Creates Friction Creates Friction "This sort of legislation will create friction, and infatuation, needlessness, have Nones in our houses, offices, and on our farms. The great majority of these are faithful, industrious, self-respecting and observe all the properties of race and color in a most gratifying and praiseworthy way. Why should we, with the little cause that exists for complaint, be considerate of these men and women who are fulfilling the properties which our race and tradition demand? It is by a frank recognition of the becoming behaviour of these and thus keeping their good-will and using their influence upon the ill-behaved of their race, while we use our influence upon the ill-behaved of our race, that we may hope to maintain in Virginia racial relations which for the most have been an honor to the calm justice, the unexeitable temper, and the fine humanity of Virginia and Virginians, and that has made this, a border state of the Stationery: We make ship Ca Certifica By-Law Seals, Low Price Consult Mail or Corresp THE GUIDE 711-17 Telephone 23100 Made on household furniture, pianos, etc., without removal Why worry about those small bills when we will lend you the money to pay them off.

Let us not misrepresent to the world in solemn but unseasoned legislation conditions in Virginia, and in doing so, shame ourselves and unrightfully irritate every man who wears a colored skin. Virginia whites are strong enough, brave enough, and confident enough in their integrity and the security of Anglo-Saxon conditions in this state to be fair-minded, just, considerate and reasonable. The type of Virginian who has given this state its honorable name is not stamped by hectic agitation. Pleads for Good-Will "We plead for good-will and a rational public opinion, and a white example and leadership which will promote and not defeat it; and we have confidence in our racial strength and ideals to vindicate themselves without the prop of unnecessary, offensive and irritating laws. We are getting along remarkably well with our Negro fellow-citizens. Moreover, we have regularly regulate our relations with these. Why enact other laws to supplement and amend a law passed two years ago and before this law has had time for demonstration? To enact this bill into law will wound all our colored population and colored visitors of every hue and every land, and will involve us in endless trouble with colored races. If we are going to make laws, let those who prop them up have to make them specific and to cover the actual evil which all admit exists and to fix penalties for those who are guilty. "But if the ground for this sort of legislation is that there exists too intimate and promiscuous mixing of the races and the blood of the races, and that, therefore, agitation and legislation is justified, then suggest that the fire be to the brush where the varnish hiding, and that we do not the whole thicket by sweeping indiscriminate legislation.

The annual address under the auspices of the Baltimore "Men's Day Movement" was delivered Sunday evening, February 14th at Trinity A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, by Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer; Howard University, Washington; Dr. John, spoke upon the subject, "The Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln." After recalling that Fredrick Douglass was born in Maryland on February 14, Dr. Scott paid tribute to both Lincoln and Douglass. Of Douglass he said: "I cannot forget that I am in Maryland, that I stand upon sacred soil, as it were for it was Maryland that gave our race and to our country and to eternity the name and the fame of Frederick Douglass. His memory also is being recalled tonight in song and story throughout the nation. As we celebrate Lincoln, the martyr and the Emancipator, also celebrate his and tyranny his friend, his supporter his comforter. Indisolubly linked together are the memories of these great souls who hated wrong, oppression and tyranny with a common hats and a spirit uncompromising and challenging. Douglass the "Old Roman" "We can never forget Douglass, the "Old Roman," our Douglass— he of the leonine mane; he of damless courage; he of rare, con- vining, forceful eloquence; he of matchless character; he the peer of City women know that their neighborhood stores can supply them just what they want - and that, in most cases, the service is more alert and friendly. earth's noblest and best; companion of Garrison and Lovejoy, of Summer, of Stevens, of old John Brown, of沃斯塔, of Seward and Stanton and Abraham Lincoln. Our memories tonight are full of him, the bright exemplar of the hopes, the desires, the ambitions of a race. With the Great Emancipator, he too 'now belongs to the ages.' The memories of the two men are so closely knit together that I have felt we must pause a moment in celestial wonder of the Immortal Lincoln also to recall the Immortal Doulgrass." In reviewing the life and character of Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Scott said: "Lincoln rose to immeasurable heights in his first interview with Frederick Douglass. Much as we shall revere his memory during the coming years as the Great Emancipator, as the liberator of 4,000,000 human beings from the thrallodom of a benighted slavery, we shall revere his estate recalcitrant by Frederick Douglass of that first conference with Lincoln at the President's own request. He treated me as a man, excalled Mr. Douglass. He did not let me feel for a moment that there was any differences in the color of our skins. O, for a thousand Lincolnes today! Met and buffeted on every hand by prejudice, injustice, unfairness, oppression, meanness, almost in despair, Oh, if only our country could have a real rebirth of freedom, if only it could submerge its spirit of materialism, and receive a baptism of that spirit of democracy for which Lincoln so passionately plead. Liberty, Fraternity, Equality. "Liberty, fraternity, equality—there are the touchstones of a real democracy. In so far as they are denied the humblest of our laid today, by just to much do we fall short of that freedom and liberty and equality for which freemen and freedmen should ever contend."

Workers for the Norfolk iCity Union of King's Daughters are leaving Block Day envelopes in the homes and public places to receive the public's contribution to the support of the work of this organization. Appacing the colored citizens, these envelopes will be collected Monday morning, March 1. Workers are asked to report returns at the First Baptist Church on that night, and those who wish to contribute and have not been approached are asked to leave their contributions with the Journal and Guide. It is believed that the response to Block Day appeal for the King's Daughters this year will show considerable increase over previous years, inasmuch as the public has lately become better informed on the splendid work carried on in the city by this organization for all classes and races of people. On the staff of twenty nurses, who visit the sick in Nortfolk, seven are colored. But even with their presence on the staff and with the valuable service they render, the white nurses visit any and all homes in emergencies regardless of whose and where it is. The annual report of the organization just issued shows that 12,080 children were attended at the clinic on West York street during last year; 33,866 visits were made by the nurses and $38,019.9 expended for the year in humanitarian service. 800 Women Interested The Norfolk City Union of King's Daughters, is an organization of twenty-one senior and junior circles, consisting of more than 800 prominent young women and girls, who are interested in promoting the health and life of the people of Norfolk. Annually the organization donates thousands of bottles of fresh milk to babies who would be denied this vital nourishment if it were not for the service of King's Daughters. The object of the organization is to give to the people of Norfolk the best home nursing possible under existing circumstances, and to give the children of the poor, through clinics, the medical attention of specialists. Probably there is no work of charity in the city that more intimately touches the lives of poor children than does the work of King's Daughters. Children warned by, school physicians to have their tonsils and adenoids removed find a refuge at the clinic on West York street, where the operations are performed, free if the parents of the patient are unable to pay and the service provided is the most expert obtainable. Another phase of the organizations work is the making poor children and families happy at Christmas. Last year when this holiday came around King's Daughters had a list of 800 children waiting to be made happy. Filled baskets, toys and other things that delight the heart of the child were distributed. Potted plants were sent to all chronic patients at Easter and Christmas. These brought much cheer to sick people unable to get out-doors. Organized in 1906. The work was organized here in 1906, with one visiting nurse who rode a bicycle. Today the organization has 20 nurses, who travel about the city in six Ford cars, and is housed in its own home. The public is urged to put its contribution in the envelopes large or small. It will be called for Monday, March 1, and whatever is donated goes to help send a visiting nurse to the sick, cheer and comfort a shut-in; restore to health the bread-winner; minister to old age; conduct clinics for children; fill empty milk bottles, and give helpless little ones a fair chance to life. Collins Acquitted For Killing Of "Fiddler" Frank Wilf it having their seats, the jury, in the case of Earl Collins on trial in Corporation Court, No. 1. Thursday morning for the murder of Frank Hill (Fiddler Frank) on new Year's morning, returned a verdict of not guilty. Collins admitted the killing, but pleaded self-defense. He testified that "Fiddler" Frank had asked him for fifty cents, and upon his refusal to give it to him was struck by Frank in the mouth a that drew blood from Collins motion, noose him, noose Frank then moved him, he noose threatening to kill him, when he (Collins) drew his knife and cut the man to defend himself. Several witnesses for the defense corroborated this testimony. Collins was represented by 'Attorneys J. Eugene Diggs, of this city, and Alfred D. Collins, of Washington, D. O. The court asked for a conviction and none of the lawyers argued to the jury. THEATRICALS SCREEN-STAGE BIG ATTRACTIONS ATTUCKS ESSAY AT THE ATTUCKS CONTEST WELL FOR NEXT WEEK UNDERWAY "A Kiss, For Cinderella," like "Peter Pan" was played in America by Maude Adams. It's not a fairy story. It has a distinct adult appeal, while at the same time will draw as big and score as heavy as "Peter Pan." The production is the story of a little slave—half starved, lonesome—yet she could call herself Cinderella and how the subsequent things are worked out is told by James M. Barrie in a story that only a Barrie could have written. The picture, although charming, filled with tears and laughs and heart-tigs, is the kind of show everyone enjoys and recommends. This Herbert Brennan production tops the bill at the Attucks for the first two days of next week, Monday and Tuesday, with a comedy and news of the world. Wednesday's program includes "Drucilla With A Million" and the regular 9 p. m. special that spices up the attucks' weekly 'bill.' Thursday's Program Adolph Zukor and Jesse L. Lasky presents a Zukor Willat production of Peter B. Kynne's newest and greatest story, "The Enchanted Hill" with Jack Halt, Florence Vidor and Raymond Hatton. "The Enchanted Hill" is Kyne's latest novel and just stopped running in Cosmopolitan a few months ago. Millions of people know of it and have been waiting for it on the screen. It is a rugged, thrilling, action story of the West and is produced by Irwin Willat who sensitially and successfully produced "North of 36." "The Enchanted Hill," is a fast moving, colorful story of action every minute. There are wild rides, airplanes fights and gun fights. It is chock full of comedy relief and romance and will be shown at the Attucks Thursday and Friday with the usual comedy and news reels. Saturday, Fred Trompson in "Riding the Wind" in a special matinee and night show. Comedy and Fables winds up the week. Pipe organ entertainments at every performance. EBONY FOLLIES SCORES A HIT EBONY FOLLIES SCORES A HIT BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. S. H. Dudley's presentation of Ebony Follies of 1926 at the Palace Theatre this week, carries with it, a wealth of entertainment and packed in followers of the footlights nightly. The entire show revolves around no particular theme, story or plot and as the management stated, it was originated and organized specifically to entertain and this it did in big style. The Dudley's have a bang up cyclonic musical comedy that carries action from curtain to curtain, not a dull moment. There is a bevy of beauties who appear to be well trained. Everyone in the chorus are well up on the latest steps. The entire bill is practically made up of musical acts, with entertaining and clean comedy skirts worked in between. The show carries its own eight piece jazz band, which is known as Ebony Follies' Cyclonic Jazzers. Without a doubt, Ebony Follies is one of the best shows that has been to the Palace Teatre in some time and there was a grand turnout for the opening night. And the strange part about it all is, the company is in its infacy, this being its first week of playing. The Ebony Follies has a beautiful array of scintillating costumes second to none and each number witnessed a change in attire. The numbers were clean, snappy, peppy and entertaining throughout the entire show. Features of the show are dancing numbers of Cash and Smith, who are a concentrated bundle of energy; Ozie McPherson, Paramount blue singer; and S. H. Dudley jr. They are, undoubtedly the most outstanding numbers on the card, but by no means is the rest of the bill obscured by these acts. Ebony Follies broke all house records of the Capitol Theatre, Portsmouth, Saturday while playing there. AT THE WELLS Edward Carewe presents "Joanna" a pictureization of the newspaper serial by H. L. Gates, with Dorothy Mackailand and Jack Hall. This is a First National picture and carries a kaleidoscopic variety of romance and drama. Patha Comedy, "The Window-Dummy," and International News finishes the bill, which will run for an entire week, starting Monday. WINDOW CARDS HERALDS POSTERS—HANDBILLS Etc. Etc.

Gold Prize Contest SUBJECT FOR MARCH "WHY YOU SHOULD PATRONIZE THE ATTUCKS THEATRE" Two Prizes Offered 1st Prize: $5.00 in Gold 2nd Prize: Book of Attucks Theatre Tickets Contributed by Norfolk District Office North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company BY WILEY A. JOHNSON JR. The essay contest, "Why You Should Patronize the Attucks," conducted by the management of the theatre, through the local office of the controllers, The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Durham, N. C., is progressing rapidly and it is expected that it will meet with much success before the final and closing day rolls around. As stated in last week's issue of the Journal and Guide, the contest will be a three months' affair, with a change of subject each four weeks and two prizes offered to the two best essays submitted. The Attucks theatre is endeavoring to reach the masses and in an effort, it is leaving nothing undone that will have a tendency to create more interest among the entertainment seekers. The theatre is very democratic, catering to each and every individual looking for clean and high class entertainment. All seats in the house are at the disposal of the patronage. One admission admits one to any seat, from the orchestra to the balcony, further than that, the gallery. There is a special pipe organ program at each show and the latest musical hits are rendered. Every Wednesday night, there is a special performance rendered by local talent, headed by Robert A. (Bob) Brown and is proving very successful. It is believed that, once the habit of going to the Attucks is formed, it will grow more intense as time rolls along. Emperor Jones (By Associated Negro Press.) New York, Feb. 25—Eugene O'Neil's "The Emperor Jones," with Charles Gilpin in the role, has been revived at the Provincetown Playhouse for a period of two weeks. (By Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee, Inst. Ala., Feb. 25—John Philip Sousa, the great March King, and his famous band of one hundred pieces, rendered a program in the Institute Chapel here Monday and captivated his audience of more than 2,500 students, teachers, and friends of the community. Repeated encores throut the program indicated the enthusiasm and appreciation with which these master musicians were received. Lieut. Commander Sousa conducted the Institute band in one of his compositions 'Sempre Fidelis.' The Institute choir rendered three selections including "Deep River," by Burleigh. Prior to the concert, Mr. Sousa journeyed to the grave of Dr. Washington and laid, a wreath thereon as a token of his personal regard for the Founder of Tuskegee Institute. EXECUTIVE MEETING OF GRADUATE NURSES Representatives of Virginia State Body Meet In Charlottesville For Mid-year Session. The executive meeting of the Virginia State Association of Colored Graduate Nurses met with their mid-year meeting with Mrs. Daisy Green, of Charlottesville, Va. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Leah B. King, chairman, and was largely attended and very profitable. After the business was over Mrs. Green invited the members of the board to an elaborate course dinner which was served at the residence of Mrs. Ellen Henry.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR PRESENT YEAR While the pessimists are still in- sisting that Norfolk had its best day in 1918-20 and that it can aes ‘come back,’ a calm, sane consideration of conditions’ today compel. the fair-minded to expect sgeeat things for Norfolk, such as ‘even will surpass those’ h ec tic days of war infation. Physic’s lay—"To every action there is an equal and contrary reaction,” ap- plies in just as binding a way to ‘business. . | During the finaricial flood of 1918-20, with a Democratie regime in Washington, the government poured millions of dolinrs in this seelion in its effort o win the war Frequently laborers made $150 weekly, living costs advanced, real estate ‘boomed, huge profits were made on paper, every body was taking a hance at the game of speculation. “Tidewater was finan. cially drunk.

Tuptey, but the ¢ost of living ad vanced still higher. Norfolk had inhaled the rare atmosphere of a “boom city”; it was suddenly plunged in the dank, dark waters of the abyss of deation, A Repub lican president turned that golden stream northward and the one in- dustry that had been considered the very backbone of Norfolk, the Nor. folk Navy Yard—shriveled and shrunk. Norfolk, as a whole, was in bad shape. ‘The city government was forced (0 make some very drastic cuts in its budget. Several banks both white and colored, were forced to merge. “Back to normaley” ‘Was’ al Jang hard pull, but, Norfolk has made the grade in a very cred- itable way. It realized that the Lone great need of this section was ‘smokestacks: Norfolk went after them, ‘The Ford plant, the Ce. ment plant, the Coffee plant, the Miller Terminals, the Municipal Grain Blevator and many othe new enterprises are rebuilding the economic wails of Tidewater. ‘Two ‘other factors have entered into the king of a Greater Norfolk. First, is the advertising Sund which enables the city to let the world know of its wonderful natural re- sotrees as the greatest port in America; the other is the develop: ment of’ Virginia Beach, a place unsurpassed for natural ‘scenic beauty. But the surest sign of all that prosperity is again to be the guest of Norfolk isthe fact that the people of Norfolk have reguined confidence in their city. ‘Three, four years ago, one heard, wails and knocks front all sides. Today, morale iz very much improved. Norfolk citizens are facing the fu- ture with the confidence that, this time their upprouot to prosperity is on a safer, saner footing. By ©. E. ARMSTRONG BONDS versus STOCKS As Instrument for Investment Ab. sippligant’ for & position ‘in the statistical department of a large. bond-houre, was asked this question:—Which type of secur. ies offered the best investment possibilities—Stocks and Bonds? He answered, without hesitation, Bonds, of course; his application was: turned down. So many in- yestors are of the opinion that Bonds are the only safe, instrument of investment. To place funds in common stock of an enterprise, would be looked upon by the con- sorvative investor, as reasoning is unsound, There is just as much risk in a bond as there would be ing cotton future. In fact, the conditions surrounding the two are similar, Bots ate contracts for future delivery; one is for cotton, the other is for a fixed number of dollars. ‘The contract for the de- livery of the cotton, is of short du- ration, hardly over’ six months, at the longest; the average life. of he contiuet is ninety days. ‘The clement of time, is of prime im- portance in any contract for fu- : “K e. m Pp as?

The conditions like- ly to affect the cotton future, can be fairly anticipated, and more ac- eurately gauged, bécuuse of the shortness of its life. On the other hand, the element of speculation in the bond is great, when it is con- sidered that the life of a bond is from five to fifty years. ‘The abil- ity to fulfil the contract, is_ de pendent on the ability of the sink- ing funds to rotire the bonds se- serially, thereby cutting down fixed charges. Another very important factor, is the keeping-up of the physical properties of the Com- pany, because in event of fore- closure, it is the amount of money that could be realized from the sale of buildings, that would ac- crue to the bondholders. ‘Tho vest investment plan isa diversity of securities; a well- rounded plan for an’ investor, would take in some common stock of progressive companies with a future, some preferred stock of public’ utilities and bonds of the best railroads. With even this di- versity of securities, one must be constantly on the lookout for con- ditions alfecting their holdings, whieh would warrant a: switch to another security. “By way of il- lustration; the investor who bought 20 year bonds issued in 1900, and maiuring in 1920, beating 4% in- terest, had he held his investment until "maturity, would have lost much money, because of the high prices of everything during the war, and the large amount of money to be made. from Common stock during the great industrial expansion of the wartime period. In buying a bond, or any security, it should be borne in mind, to se- leet a good reliable bond-hotse, be- cause the reputable bond-house will handle only investments of the highest standards, and their guar- antee of no loss'to the investor, goes along with the purchase. But tho investor must rcalize, that in the purchase of bonds of long ma- turity, there is some risk involved, and the only way-to minimize. this, is to have one’s holdings of securi- ties constantly examined, just. as one would consult their physician, yearly. ‘To illustrate; 15 years ago, the St, Paul R. R. and the N. Y. N.H. and Hartford R. R., were considered guilt-edge investments, for widows and orphans.

At the trustee meeting which cleeted Mr. Jones, plans were dis- cussed for completing an enabling fund of $100,000 to qualify for payment of « million dollar endow- ment fund which has leona been fully subscribed by the General Education Board, the Carnegie Corporation and'a group if indi- viduals including Edward S, Hark- ness, Julius Rosenwald, Samuel Sachs, Samuel Mather, Mrs, Fran- cis F.

Bree- NORDIC DOGMA OF SUPERIORITY HAS NO FOUNDATION IN BIBLE OR HISTORY DECLARES RABBI Distinguished Jew Scores Religious and Racial Prejudices, and Oppose Teaching Bible In Public Schools The Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News recently carried an account of a speech delivered by Dr. Nathan Krass, rabbi of the Temple of Emanuel, of New York, delivered in the North Carolina city on the previous night in which the speaker scored all religious and racial prejudices. Some of the striking assertions in the distinguished Jew's speech as reported in the News were: "The world war was an outgrowth of perverted patriotism that grew out of superiority complex suffered by each nation. "That to teach the love to one's own country in the public schools, it is not necessary to teach superiority over and hatred of others. "To bring the Bible into the public schools is to enrage upon the constitution of the U.S. we never solves problems. But before we can have peace on earth we must disarm the minds. Before we destroy the machine guns we must take hate out of the warmer heart. "Christian people cannot follow their Prince of Peace and war, because if Christianity means anything or whatever else it may mean, it certainly teaches the doctrine of loving kindness and of love as do the other great religions. Norde Nordie dogma which says the tall blonde from the northern countries is superior to other peoples is a false one and has no foundation either in history, the Bible of the teachings of religion. "Israel was God's chosen people not in the sense that it was to dominate but that by its righteousness and by its moral law, it should teach a lesson to other nations might become blessed. That the teachers in each religion teach to their children the best in other religions instead of the worst. "That Rabbi Wise, who was recently quoted as saying the whole world must accept Jesus, both Jews and Gentiles, was misquoted to the extent that all people must accept Jesus as a historical fact and not as a myth. He didn't say the Jews would have to accept him as Christ. "That all religions can work together and yet each in its individual way care for its people and that the time will come when each religion will realize that it hasn't got a monopoly on salvation. Dr. Krass was questioned as to how many virgin births other than that of Jesus he perceived to have been Jewish rabbi replied that he did not know but that he had listed twenty which he had taken from oriental religions and that he thought there were numbers of others. He stated that his answer to this question had no theological significance. The rabbi who heads one of the largest congregations of Jews in the country and who has lectured both here and abroad, was intro- IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my son Herbert Jones, February 14, 1922.

CARD OF THANKS We take this method of thank- ing our friends for their kindness during the illness and death of our mother, Mrs. Luvenia Walke, and for the floral offerings. May God's richest blessings be upon one and all. Gratefully, From the family, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hopkins. duced by Rev. I. Harding Hughes, ractor of Holy Trinity Episcopal "Nations today are suffering with superiority complexes," declared Rabbi Krass. "I want to congratulate the people in your city in experimenting with the forum whose end it is to bring mixed audiences together that I may see the other sides of things. "The world war was an expression of those complexes. I saw the victims of it. I saw the horribiless of it. And I want to it every nation attention that prior to it every nation thought that it was destined by God to be greater than others. The slogan of German translated in North Carolina language was 'Germany above everything.' We are all familiar with the assertion that 'Britannica rules the waves.' England that it had by some God-given right the right to govern on the sea, and its people had been right that and that is what they believed. "America was termed by the Americans, 'God's own country.' People of this nation didn't deny that God might have had something to do with the building of other nations but the implication was that the devil had first mortgage on other countries and on United States was owned entirely by God. "No child was ever taught 'the achievements of other living countries. Every child is taught that all wars that its country every waged against any other country, were just wars and that the other country was always the wicked aggressor. It seems to me that one's anything good that one's own country can be taught without minimizing the good about other nations." Rabbi Krass then turned to the relationships of races and called attention that whether one is a fundamentalist or modernist, whether one believes in Adam or evolution that nowhere is there found in the Bible a piece of scripture which authorizes the Nordic race to lord it over his fellowmen. Theologic dogmas are not so bad, said the rabbi, because their damnation begins beyond the grave while the Nordic dogmas preaches damnation over race not its own. Rabbi Krass was not its own. Rabbi Krass was of there was nowhere in Darwin's writings or of any other scientist evidence that the Nordic's ancestors could get any more milk out of a cocoonant than the ancestors of the semitic peoples, or of any other race of people. The last item considered by the speaker was that of religious differences. He declared that he could see a reason for national differences and for racial differences but he couldn't understand religious animosities. All religions are founded on love and yet there is continual bitterness between the sects. Rabbi Kras; explained why he didn't think the Bible ought to be brought into the public school. He said that the country was founded on the principle that church and state should be kept separate and that if religions were taught in the school the question would arise as to which religion. He said because I love the Bible less but because I love it more that I want it kept out of the public school. If it is to be just a perfunctory reading at the beginning of the day and then a mumbed prayer, it is to no purpose and if it is to be taught as Scripture should be to sectual differences which are dangerous things. "Suppose for example you are studying such a harmless thing as the Ten Commandments. Some child will immediately raise his hand about the graven image and call attention to the fact that the Catholics bow down to images whereupon if the teacher says that this is right, she will immediately get in hot water and if she says they are wrong then she is still in hot water. Suppose the question of the keeping of the Sabbath should come up. Some boy is certainly going to want to know whether that is Saturday or Sunday. And it seems to me t h a t the public school, supported by Jews as well as Gentiles, ought not to decide that question." Popularity Contest Brilliant Affair The George Washington birthday popularity contest and carnival, given by the First U. P. Church, in Memorial Hall, on the evening of the 22nd, was a brilliant affair and a decided success. $175.81 was realized. The contestants for the First Prize, a beautiful floor lamp offered by H. Crokin-Phill Levie Furniture Co., and a bed lamp offered by the Committee, as a second prize for the most popular lady were: Miss Marguerite Moseley who received 1495 votes. Mrs. Chas. Butts, 1020 votes. Mrs. S. Wilson 360 votes. The following children were awarded skates for selling $5.00 worth of tickets: Henry Watson, Vivian Wilson and Milicent Coleman. Memorial Hall was beautifully decorated in white and red as a color scheme with milicent coleman display, creating an exquisite carnival scene and atmosphere, in which crowds of happy children and adults jolted against each other in friendly rivalry for the good "eats" and prizes offered by the various booths. Miss Rachel Robinson and Mrs. Butts were in charge of the Hot Dogs booth; Mrs. Sarah Nixon and Mrs. Nona Diggs, cocoa booth; Miss Hentron Mitchell, fishing pond; Miss Mayme Diggs, gypsy tent; Mrs. Sarah Epps, George Washington hat game; Mrs. J. E Diggs, pie booth; Mrs. H. C Wright, Miss Geneva Brock and Miss Fannie, Jones, ice cream booth. Miss Geneva Brock, chairman of committee, composed of Miss Fannie Jones, Mrs. Sarah Epps and Mrs. J. E Diggs, is due great credit for her masterful leadership and untiring efforts to realize success. This is the first of a series of efforts to raise $1600.00 for the repairing and the making of other improvements on the church property. BISHOP THOMSON AT GRACE SUNDAY Next Sunday evening at 6 o'clock service at Grace Church the Rt. Rev. A. C. Thomson, D. D., bishop co-adjutor of the Diocese will make his visitation for the purpose of administering confirmation and will also preach. Bishop Thomson always brings a helpful message and all are most cordially invited to be present. SECOND CALVARY CHURCH The early morning prayer meeting was glorious with those who came out last Sunday. The Sunday school hour has been changed from 9:30 to 10:15 at which time men, women, boys and girls were found winding their way to be present at the sounding of the gong. The largest number was present that has been in Sunday school for a long time. The hour 10:15 gives the mothers of the home a chance to clear the tables and to be present at the Sunday school, also. From now on the school is open to all the members of the church are asked to be present and all who come to Sunday school are requested to remain over to the morning service. The object is to have as many in Sunday school as are enrolled in the church. At 11:30 the crowd was present to listen to the morning message. The pastor, spoke from Gen. 17:1. All present enjoyed the message. Six came forward and united at the close and five were bartized. The B. Y. P. U. opened at 5:30 and Miss Mazie Shady White spoke to the B. Y. P. U.. At the close of this service five boys confessed to Christ. At 7:30 the pastor spoke again from the subject: "The condition upon which Christ saves." Two came forward to be prayed for. Thus closing one of the most glorious days for the Lord that we have had in quite a while. The collections for the day were good. The pastor wishes to shake hands with the members and friends at the close of the 10:15 service. BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. H. Stokes, D. D., of Richmond, preached an eloquent and forceful sermon to a large congregation, Sunday morning, Feb. 14th, on the subject: "Without the Shedding of Blood. There is no Remission of Sin." Rev. Stokes kept his audience gripped in a tenseness of interest throughout every moment of the delivery of the discourse. On next Sunday, Rev. O. M. Thomas will fill the pulpit both morning and evening. Visitors are cordially invited to attend divine worship at Bank Street. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Berkley Ave.) When the pastor announced his subject, Sunday morning, "Moving Time," John 7:1. The Holy Spirit seemed to have alighted with it as there was a vivid demonstration from start to finish. He spoke of the two spheres of influence one in which Jesus walks and the one where He cannot and will not walk. He spoke of the many sins which beset us and if we did not clean our souls of them Jesus would move from us to choose him. Go Preach My Gospel, and made the morning service quite lively. There were two solos rendered by Mr. Woolly and Mr. J. Sumner, who sang, "My Task," very sweetly. The Kindergarten of the church seems to be lacking interest on part of the patrons. We are asking them to wake up and not let such a helping auxiliary die. The anniversary of the choir opened Sunday at 3 p.m. All are invited to attend nightly meetings. WANTING by J. E.

BOYS' CAMP FOR Y.M.C.A.SUMMER SCHOOL PLANNED Curriculum to Include Courses In Association Management, Sociology, and Problems of Town and Small City Life Baltimore, Md.-At the midwinter meeting of the Committee of Secretaries in charge of the Chesapeake Y. M. C. A. Summer School held at the Druid Hill Avenue Branch, Y. M. C. A. in this city on February 5th it was decided to add as a distinctive feature of the summer school this year a model boys' camp. The idea of summer camps for boys was originated by the Y. M. C. A. a number of years ago and has rapidly increased in popularity, practically every organization doing work among boys makes this a special feature. It is the large increase in the number of camps that has brought to the front the necessity of training men to manage them scientifically. A number of camps for colored boys have had short life and failed to render the service of which they were capable because they were poorly conducted. The model camp will be conducted at the time of the nineteenth session of the Chesapeake Summer School, July 7-21, at the Bordertown Manual Training School, of Bordertown, N. J. Mr. R. W. Bullock, National Boys' Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will be in charge. The site, on an eminence over-looking the Delaware River, is ideal. S. S. Booker, President of the Chesapeake Summer School Association and Secretary of the Local Association was chosen director of the summer school and Campbell C. Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer and Executive Secretary of the Washington Y. M. C. A. was elected registrar. On July 6th day preceding the opening of the schools of Chesapeake School, Compton Y. M. C. A. meets with Laymen from Cedar Y. M. C. A.'s throughout the country will meet in a one-day conference to consider "the discovery, impression and development of an effective lay leadership in the Y. M. C. A." The Laymen's Committee in charge of this conference is composed of: Dr. J. E. Moorland, Brooklyn, brooklyn; C. Parker, New York, ny; C. Parker, Manhattan, maryland; Melvin Halsey, Palmfield, n. Dr. J. H. Moore, Philadelphia; John R. Pinkett, Washington. The curriculum of the school was revised to include for advance students courses in Association Management, Sociology and Problems of Town and Small City Life. The latter two courses are specially aimed to make the Y. M. C. A. secretary a valuable man in helping to solve the general social problems of his community. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The early sunrise prayer meeting was enjoyed by the faithful few in attendance. Sunday was an ideal day for the church-goers. At 11:30 in the morning, Rev. Bowling delivered a fine message from the text, James 5:17 subject; "Elijah, a Challenge to the Average Man." This message was thoughtfully and forebly presented, full of information and inspiration. Three new additions. Four were baptized following the morning services. Holy Communion at 3:30 p. m., at which time the right hand of fellowship was extended to nine persons for membershin. Quite a large crowd turned out in the evening to hear the pastor on the "River Jordan," text Gen. 22:10. This sermon was of unusual interest, our souls were made to rejoice in the God of our salvation. The music rendered by the choir pertaining to the River Jordan was greatly enjoyed. The Sunday school had a large crowd at the opening hour. The lessons were enjoyed by the teachers as well as the pupils. The B. Y. P. U. enjoyed interesting discussions by the president. GRACE P. E. CHURCH Grace Church was almost crowded to capacity last Sunday morning. The crowds seem to be grown taller. It was the first Sunday in the Lenten season and Rev. Harris preached from Luke 18:10 on the idea of "Self-Examination with a view of repentance." This he said was one of the fundamental ideas of the Lenten season and he submitted three lines along which we ought examine ourselves (1) We ought try to know ourselves, (2) We ought judge ourselves by the property and standard (3) We ought to get a clean idea of what sin really is, the speaker develops so much of these thoughts in detail and the discourse was enjoyed by all. Rev. Harris baptized one adult. At 5 p. m. the Woman's Auxiliary held its study class with a very good attendance. Their topic being Latin America. This is a special feature for the Lenten season. At 6 p. m., the evening prayer hour, Rev. Harris preached from Jer. 9:23. A good congregation heard him. DAVID KING BIBLE CLASS ELECTS ITS OFFICERS At a meeting held immediately after Sunday school, Sunday, February 21, the David King Bible Class elected the following officers: President, Milton Lasater; vice president, W. E. Gibson; financial secretary, James Epperson; record secretary, O'Murphy; treasurer, Carrie O'Murphy; chaplain, Jas. Fitts; sergeant-at-arms, James Coleman. David King Bible Olas is one of the leading Sunday school classes of the First Baptist Church, Bute street. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The series of services held under auspices of the various boards of the church during the last week were well attended, and it large audience was out at the Sunday services. The pastor, Rev. M. D. Smith, seems able to draw large audiences regularly without adding extra features to the services. In his morning service in 2023, he admonished his auditors to live such lives as they would be willing to have known to the world, because a man's sins will surely find him out. The women of the church have resumed their weekly prayer services. They meet in the study of the church each Wednesday at noon. All persons are welcome to attend regardless of denomination. Mr. Grady Bell, a student of Virginia Union University, was a visitor in the Sunday school. Miss Essie Gordon recently has been elected a teacher in the elementary division of the school. She is a teacher in the public school, delights in woking with children, the system is getting well under way. It is hoped that all members will secure their envelopes by the first of March. A program was rendered by a group of blind persons immediately after the evening service last Sunday, and a collection was raised for them. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH Well attended services began here last Sunday with the early morning prayer meeting. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Rev. V. V. K. Stokes, delivered an able sermon from the subject: "The Feast in the Desert," Matt. 14:15. The sermon was so appealing that many of the members were heard to express a new determination to push vigorously the work of the church. Holy Communion was administered at the evening services. The Sunday school is witnessing unusual progress and considerable interest is being manifested by the scholars. B. Y. P. U. was an interesting service. The pastor delivered another impressive sermon at night, chosing for his subject: "Love, Peace and Truth," Philip 2:5. The Master Calls The Master Calls YOU CHRISTIANS WHO LIVE IN NORFOLK without a Church Home—The Master calls you to get solidly behind the program of the Church and help hasten God's Kingdom on earth. YOU ARE ONE OF HIS SOLDIERS—You pledged Him to connect yourself and work with some church in the place in which you live. GOD expects one of His soldiers to do his duty. Good Preaching Excellent Music On Next Sunday (Mar. 7th), hear Rev. L. O. Lewis, A. B., B. D., Theological Department Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.-You will enjoy hearing him. strong sermon, using as his subject, "Jesus, the Good Samaritan. Rev. Hines preached again at the night service. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH The early morning prayer meeting was led by Mrs. V. Johnson. Two visitors worshiped at the service. At the opening of the Sunday school, the superintendent requested the pastor to teach the lesson, who responded and gave answer to the subject. At the morning hour, the pastor preached from the hourpost "Union With God." At night Rev. E. T. Davis preached a splendid sermon. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Services last Sunday were excellent. Early morning meeting was highly spiritual. The Sunday school went over the book in every way, the Bible class was mining the banner. At 11:30 a.m. a very large audience was present to hear the pastor preach a special sermon and the results of assenting with bad women. Rev. M. gett, of Macedonia Christian Church, along with his chair and congregation worshipped at this church. They rendered fine services, and came here upon invitation of Mt. Lebanon choir. The B. Y. P. U. conducted a good program at the regular hour. The pastor, preached to another crowd at night on: "The Good Shepherd." There was one addition to the church during the day. The pastor will preach on next Sunday morning. Let us unite in asking the President to require the Civil Service Commission abolish all rules and practices which in their purpose or effect discriminate against the colored applicant and cheat him out of a fair chance to enter the classified service of the government. JOHN H. HARRIS Rev. G. W. Spicer will lecture the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, fem- ly known as the Garrett's Temp- corner Nicholson and Lincoln's Sunday, February 28th, at 3 p.m. in interest of the race.

Richard H. Bowling at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night. This will be the last sermon in a series on the well-known rivers of the Bible. Unusual Sunday night audiences have been in attendance for the three preceding sermons. It is predicted that the closing sermon will prove even more of an attraction. In addition to the sermons by the pastor, the choir has been furnishing some exceptional music. Last Sunday night Mrs. Martha Adams Smith sang, "I stood on the River of Jordan." A male chorus rendered "Deep River." The choir sang two spirituals on the same theme. Discussing the Jordan River the pastor said: "The Children of Israel on one side the Jordan were slaves and wanderers. On the other side, they were freedmen and fathers of a famous nation, a united people. Just as with Israel, nations and individuals can do nothing today until they cross the Jordan of indecision and instability and settle down. Gypsies have kings and queens, but nobody pays them much attention. They are a great nation, but they play no part in the world's politics nor have any voice in shaping the world's thought. Negroes persistently dissatisfied and outraged by new kingdoms overseas will never get us anywhere." The French Negro is a Frenchman first, i.e., he hems is a Frenchman felt where he is, an American Negro will be a foreigner and an intruder "wherever he lands in vast numbers on un-American soil. He will face difficulties as mighty as any he faces here. Even in Africa there would be such mighty barriers as strange language, customs, climate and religion. 'Let down your buckets where you are' is still good advice for the Negro in America." MT. ZION BAPTIST TEMPLE (Cor. Nicholsen and Lincoln) Services were well attended on Sunday, February 21. At 11:30 a.m., the pastor, Rev. James M. Douglass, preached a stirring sermon from the subject: "Unmovable in Christ," Acts 20:24. At 3 o'clock the pastor preached another edifying sermon from the subject: 23. Dr. A. S. McGowan was present and made a few helpful remarks. The pastor preached again at night. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Services during last Sunday were very good, beginning with the Sunday school. At 11:30, Rev. Hines delivered an able sermon which was very inspiring. At 3 o'clock the pastor and congregation worshiped with Rev. James Billups, at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church. Rev. Midgett, after being introduced by Rev. Billups, delivered a Notice! Dr. C. M. Cartwright, of Elizabeth City, N. C., will preach at the Second Calvary Baptist Church, on Monday night, March 1st, and his choir will also accompany him. This choir known as the Olive Branch Choir is one of the best in the State of North Carolina. You will miss a rare treat if you do not come. REV. C. P. MADISON, Pastor.

But there is i geeneral opinion and a_sgenera effort among the white people of this state to improve the living conditions among Negroes, so that ‘they will be made to remain in the South.” The above will serve to illustrate two or three important. facts: “Ist; That the South as a section hhas been compelled to place a new value on Negro labor as well as an approach for this inexhaustible Supely. of trustworthy, dependable and patriotic labor. 2nd: acknow!- fedyement on the part of the whole section that conditions of liying and working, as well as education- ‘al facilities. general race relations are not what they should have ijeun, hence these seeneral improve- ments. 3rd; An opportunity. has come to the Negroes to take ad: ‘vantage of the present open-mind cd attitude of many of the leading ‘white people of the South, includ: ing the builders of, public’ opinor (newspapers and other periodicals) toward bringing about the kind of understanding and race relations that will make for mutual hapyi- ness and prosperity of both race cioments. “there was never a time when the Negro race of this xectior wag in need of statesmanship like Teadership ax now and upstanding ‘clear-visioned, courageous, far-see- ing. sincere “dead in earnest’ leaders, perhaps will never be worth as much to the race in the South in the matter of reconstruc: j tion of public opinion regarding [tive negative that is possible at th: present. itme.

This, man of God who perhaps preaches that God made us all spoke of the “un- “natural shades of eolor due to race mixing.” He declared that he was in favor of segregation and Anglo- ‘Saxon ideals but said that the pro- posed bill was unjust because it would impose a law upon the whole “state in order to correct a condi: tion said to exist at Hampton. | The bill, he further ‘said threw “an unwatranted reflection on the i white race, the presumption being ‘raised bythe bill is that all over Virginia the white people must be ‘restrained by law from promis ‘cuous mingling and association “with Negroes.” The reverend yen- ‘tleman seemed especially exorcised ‘over the fact that Chinese, Japa- inese, and other colored aliens, not ‘now affected by the present jim- ‘crow laws which he favors for’ Ne- | groes, would be included in the bill. ‘The bill, which requires “the sep- aration of white and colored per- sons at public halls* * * public assemblies etc.” includes all: non- Iywhite persons.

Social Equality Rey. W, T, Johnson of the First Baptist. Church made a soothing diplomatic speech, saying that he loved the white race. He said: “I regard your race us mine for I love you and you love me.” He went ‘on to tell “of the cordial relations that exist in our beloved state of Virginia,” how the Negro had served loyally in the war and how the proposed legislation would bring “discouragement, uneasiness, and discomfort.” He ‘further de- nied that the Negro wanted social equality. It was only justice he asked. To Correct Situation One of the trustees of Hampton Institute, whose name I did not heur, but later learned was Homer L. Ferguson said that he was one of the largest employers of Negro labor in the state, and that during all his life he hed never met with anything else but respect trom eol- ored people. He said that such agitation unsettled his employees and generally hindered labor con- ditions throughout the state. ‘He promisnd to do what he could toward “correcting” conditions at Hampton but insisted that ‘the stu- dents could not be taught that they “helonged to an inferior race or none of them would ever come.” He added: . “One interesting fact is that, we are ull in favor of negregation +» * © * the situation at Hamp- ton will be corrected or wo South- crn men will get off tae board. ‘The students are taught not to mix with the white race but Northern tenchers make it difficult.” ‘The gallery was full of white people but the only colored ones present besides Dr. Johnson were visitors to the cily—Mr. Louis G. Gregory, Bahaist lecturer, and my- self. Both of us had a rather interest- ing experienc. A white man, half drunk, came over Lo where we were sitting, and waxing quite confi- dential told us that he had served in tho state legislature for eight years, and regaled us with a story af his sex relations with his moth- ec’s colored maid. He was a lobbyist, it seems, and predicted that the bill wouldn't pass. _ When T asked him whether he was in fav- or of segregation he replied that he wasn't since he thought that its sole purpose was the ‘exploitation of the Negro, economically and sex- ually. - ‘Next week T will toll of my in- terviews with Messrs.

The student, through a casual meeting, is said to have become ac- quainted with Mr. White. Thru ‘the knowledge he gained of the eol- ored lawyer's business during the ‘time he wag acquainted with him, he was able to carry out. his scheme. Herzog visited the ator. ney’s office at an hour when he kitew that he would be i court with a demonstrator for the Pack- ‘ard Motor Car Company. "Ne forged Mr. White's name to 'a check for $1400 for a car without arousing any suspicion on the part ‘of the salesman. When a repre- sentative of the automobile con- cern went to investigate the sale later, the forgery was discovered, ‘but Herzog and the $4000 Packard ‘could not be located. _ The former Norfolkian evidently is doing well in Detroit, his name signed to a $1400 check creating no suspicion.

Husband and Children South Sen pearl divers save very little money. Must Say "Yoami" And Not Miami Colored people, in facetious mood, have been heard to remark that if the present anti-racial legislation continues to spread and grow more intense, they expect to see the time when there will be advocated a law compelling them to drink no white milk, but at first color it or feed cows molasses with the hope of getting it naturally colored. That is said in humor, but bessie O. Thomas, field secretary of the National Urban League of Atlanta, who directed the colored Community Chest Drive here November last, made some statements before the annual session of the league in New York a few days ago, which show that in some parts of the South there are unwritten inhibitions against Negroes just as silly as the milk joke. Mr. Thomas said: "That in some small Georgia Towns a Negro cannot purchase a railroad ticket to New York, or other, northern cities, but must route himself circuitously by way of Memphis. The purpose, he said, was to keep Negroes in the South. He added that in some Southern states heavy taxes are imposed on Negroes who are moved by contractors from one State to another. Chambers of Commerce, Thomas said, employ agents to discourage Negroes from coming North by saying they must be vaccinated. While in Miami automobile agents refuse to sell Negroes new machines. White residents of Miami do not want Negroes to pronounce the name of the city as the whites do, but call it "Yoanmi," he said. RACE RELATIONS ENTER CRITICAL PHASE IN AFRICA RACE RELATIONS ENTER CRITICAL PHASE IN AFRICA (Continued from Page Nine) They would like to see the country divided into two sections and a black parliament legislating for the natives without any intervention from the Union parliament. The black parliament would be under imperial control from London. The Orange Nationalists declare that the natives must be held complete subjecion. All that they concede is a right to vote for the mullatoes, since there are hardly 7,000 of the latter outside of Cape Colony. "Ons Vaderland," Nationalist organ of the Transvaal, says: "We fought the great war to the end to save democracy; we shall push segregation to the end to save the children's future. But segregation was waged in areas which could only be found only in the native protectorates. "In fact, the whole future of the Union is at stake. It is impossible to maintain the 'color bar', the limitation of European immigration and the exclusion of white artisans and laborers and at the same time to maintain white domination over a black people conscious of its numerical strength and economic development. General Smuts, now in opposition, is against the Hertzog propositions. The present Nationalist Socialist majority is precarious, and it is probable that General Smuts will return to power. "The Old South African traditions," General Smuts has said, "do not harmonize with a grant of political rights to the natives. We cannot give parliamentary institutions to people before they are born. They have to take their own councils and arrange their local affairs. We must advance prudently along this road—step by step. It leads in the right direction." Wants Blame Fixed In Strike At Armstrong (BY Preton News Service) Washington, D. C., Feb. 24—At its heart, the board appeared disappointed over a report on the recent student strike at Armstrong Technical High School as made by Assistant Sunerintendent of Schools, G. C. Wilkinson. He was 'ordered to make another report at the next meeting of the school board putting responsibility for the strike directe- tion on the shoulders of some one. In his report Mr. Wilkinson said he had not found evidence that any members, of the faculty at Armstrong had taken an active part in the student "walk-out," but he had established that most of the faculty knew what was going on, and after the strike was called they failed to meet the situation. He said he particularly blamed Chas. M. Thomas and Miss Helen Crawford, student council sponsors, who failed to "sit in" on the council meeting at the strike was dismissed. Mr. Greenwood said he was opposed to making the council sponsors the "goats," but that he did want responsibility placed where it belonged and a definite recommendation for action from Mr. Wilkinson.

WANTED $20000 PROMOTE NEGRO HISTORY WEEK Dr. Carter G. Woodson Announces Celebration Will Be Held Annually During Second Week in February. Washington, D. C.—Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, announces that Negro History Week will be celebrated by a trip during the second week in February. The movement was inaugurated and is sponsored by the association of which Dr. Woodson is the director. Concerning the celebration held recently he said: "This movement met with a favorable response throughout the country. The Negroes seized on the idea as a thing for which they had long been waiting, and a considerable number of the white race manifested similar interest. Clubs, fraternities, schools, and churches made extensive preparation and carried out their programs with unusual success. The favorable comment by the leading white and Negro newspapers decidedly stimulated the movement and presented the cause to the public as it has never been before. Definite Nerds "Three definite needs of the Negro group were strikingly brought out during this celebration. Social workers and educators are almost unanimous in urging the following: first, that there should be prepared a series of historical stories and textbooks depicting the civilization of the Negro in Africa and the influence of the Negro in the history of this country; second, that boards of education should be induced to adopt certain of these books as optional texts and supplementary; third, that schools and libraries throughout the country should be provided with an adequate number of reference books presenting the various aspects of Negro life and history. S20.000 Needed "To carry out such a program requires money. The Association has already spent thousands of dollars promoting the celebration of Negro History Week, and it has not charged one penny for any of How to Stop That WeakeningCough How to Stop That WeakeningCough Why let a heavy, stubborn cough wear you down when you can get speedy relief, and often break it up completely in 24 hours through a remarkable new method based on the famous Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs? Here is the method: You simply take one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat, coughing loudly, moving it. It has a double action, it not only soothes and heals irritation, but also removes the phlegm and congestion which are the 'real cause' of the coughing.

Of course, our same sort of men were thrown in. The lecture from start to finish was intellectual, humorous and helpful.

S., expressed how glad he he was to have the two schools engaged in one big educational problem and in turn introduced Mr. McLod, a student from Hampton Institute, who assisted in the demonstration. The meats for canning were prepared before noon. Before starting the canning proper, the steps were briefly explained by Mr. Dean and Mr. McLod. Then with the assistance of the Home Economic Department of Waters Training School, the meats were packed in sterilized cans and sealed. After testing each can samples were sent around over the audience for inspection. Various kinds of meats were canned. During the processing period which took about 45 minutes, the audience held the millilitrium to the water demonstration in the dining hall to the Home Economics room, which demonstration was by no means a minor part of the program. Many rewarks were made about the system being so reasonable with regard to cost. After seeing the water demonstration the people returned to the chapel to the processing finished. The water demonstration showed how easy and economical it was to have running water in the home by the use of a force pump, cutting a water tank, cutting a water tank, cutting main and drain ditch and creeping the sinks.

Cepia FOR HOWARD: MEDICO SCHOOL FUND | Washington, D. C.—A. Rage ign will soon, be entered upon by the | Medical "Department of Howard University. to insure the. comple- tion of, the Endowment Fond which it is necessary for the Medical Schoo) to. have if it is to retain its standing, This was’ announced today. by |Dr. Edward Balloch of. the Medi- jcal School, who will head the cam- | paign. He iswat present engaged In the. formation ofa. National Committee of prominent profes- sional men throughout the country to take charge, of.the effort in their various tertitorial sections and ex- pects’ to announce its personnel in a short tie. It ye Compaign is a result of the campaign made three yeas 2g0, when more than. $250,000.00 was pledged by several, thousand indi- viduals to meet, the conditions laid down by the General Education Board in its offer of a similar a- mount. ‘The Board is paying, dol- lar for dollar, into the Endowment Fond, as the individuals who. made the pledges are making payment. But the Boart's offer to do so ex- pires on July Ist, next. A number Of the payments are in arrears and imless these are paid before that date, and new cash subscriptions obtained to meet the natural: and normal shrinkage due’ to death of ‘some who have pledged, the En- jdowment! Fund will not be able to funetion in a way which will main- tain the standard of the Medical ‘School. Name of Campaign | The entire campaign, which will be known as the Howan Universi ity Medical Endowment Conclusion Campaign, has been placed. in the hands of the Medical. faculty of the University, and a ‘nation-wile organization is in the process of perfection under the leadership of ‘Dr; Balloch, who is assisted by the junited and enthusiastic effort. of the entise, Medical Faculty as well jaz the Dental and Pramaceutical Faculties, whose schools are also affected by the situation. “The principles, involved are so deep and of stich serious conse- quences to the race that we call upon every worthy man and wom- jan to rally to the support. of this. effort," said Dr. Balloch. “The. on- Ty issue at stake is whether the ‘colored people want capable. and ‘efficient professional men to min- ster to their bodily needs, The situation is no different from what it was three years ago when the. ‘campaign for pledges was made. Unpaid pledges no more relieve the ‘threatened calamity than do un- signed. ones and every one, laying aside all. other. considerations must unite and work, if we are to pre- vent a catastrophe to the Negro Race.” Tt will be remembered that the ‘campaigning. of three years ago. fo which Dr. Balloch. refers, was staged to maintain ‘Howard Medi- ‘cal School's standing as a: Grade A” College.

Such. waves. strike upon. the an tenna at the receiving station. The delicate instruments change those waves inc a form that wll operate te headset, this change producing audible sounds. ‘There may be several stations sending, but by proper tuning, or adjustment you may cut out the ‘stations not wanted, just as con- ‘centration will shut out all voices or particulay ones. This is termed selectivity in radio. A good. set will select just the station desired, ‘as all stations do not send on the same wave length adjustment, That is why the messages are not mixed up. Poor tuning at times allows two or more stations, tc come in at the same time. Then the message becomes unintelligible, There are numerous kinds of radio. sets to catch from the air the, fast moving waveemessages.

It was: generally acknowledged to be one of, the most effective. ever. heard in this city—logical, uncompromisinity and yet fine and winning, in, its spirit. ; Dr, Johnson expressed: the opin- jon that the South is in position to make a contribution of the greatest importance to the natjon, ‘and to the world through the solu-, tion of its race problem. “This 18, nro longer a southern péoblem,” he ‘said, “but ig found. throughout. the: nation and around the. worid: What wwe do here, toward its. solution, therefore, is of world-wide signifiz cance; and what now. seems to. us a heavy burden and responsibility may become our crown’ of fame and usefulness, “Jesus, during his life _ time, faced a problem very similar. to, ‘our own," he continued, “living as jhe. did among a people secthing with racial antagonism and revolus tionary centiment, In this, situa- tion, Jesus held violence to be ut- terly futile and admonished his followers that they could win on- ly by the use of spiritual weapons and only after they had first won themsevles to Christ-like attitudes. ‘The same thing is equally true to- day. The race problem can_ be. ‘solved only by applying these bas- ie principles, which Jesus preached: ‘and practiced: (1) tA zeverance for human, life, for its own sake, which will ‘make us unwilling to harm or hu- miliate or hinder the development. of any. humand being; (2) ‘The obli- gation to help every human. being jn need, irrespective of 1ace or jelass; (3) A spirit that does not harbor hate o- retaliation, but re-. turns good for evil and wins its. enemies by the compelling power ef, love.” : With deep conviction, Dr. John- ‘son, maintained ‘that only in the application of. these principles. is, there. any hope whateven for the peace and welfare of either race.
