ORATIONS RESOUND IN HISTORIC FANEUIL HALL Boston, Mass., March 10—Boston Massacre Day was observed Friday upon official proclamation of Governor Alvin T. Fulley, issued at the request of a subcommittee of the Declaration of Independence Committee of the NationalEqual Rights League, eulogizing Olympics Attacks and mentioning with praise his white com-munity martyrs, the first for this country's independence. This episode which Attacks conducted had ever been so fully realized before. Two-Day Observance The 2-day observance of Attucks Day by the Loqueg and committee began with a night procession from Thursday, at the spot, where Attucks fell, marked in State street, for Fannuel Hall, scene of his funeral, led by Major Hewitt of the 2nd Adaillton, colored, and its stand. In the historic "Cradle of Liberty" a great meeting was held, Gov. D. S. Klugh presiding, and Gov. D. Leroy Dergov delivering an masterly Attucks oration in which he urged that March 5, be made a national holiday, E. M.

Virginia newspapers have been forced to rise to the defense of the state this week against the criticism levied at it by the Nation, of strong opinion published in New York by Oswald公爵 Villard, grandson of William Lloyd Garrison. The Nation's criticism was inspired by the two racial integrity bills, just passed by the Virginia General Assembly, and infers that Virginia is "uncivilized." Two of the state's influential journals, the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch and the Roanoke World-News, make no attempt to absolve Virginians from blame for inviting the lashing from the Nation, while both vigorously denounce the racial integrity measures. The Norfolk paper has consistently opposed these bills, has allied itself (Continued on Page 4) $1 $1 $1 $1 Are You Handy With A Kodak?

Cage has decided that the segregation law passed by state legislature is legal and as result Negroes are restrained from residing on Palmer avenue, although the property in question has been occupied by them for the past twenty years. VIRGINIA AND ATLANTA GET STERN REBUKE VIRGINIA AND ATLANTA GET STERN REBUKE "The Nation," Published By Oswald Garrison Vil lard, Hurls Denunciation At Race Prejudice. The state of Virginia and the city of Atlanta, both are engaged in the expenditure of a huge sum of money for community advertising, and both of these communities are at present the recipients of a huge volume of adverse advertising given them absolutely gratis. For the past several weeks no two sections in the country have been more thoroughly advertised to the world than Atlanta, Ga., and Virginia, gained by their ludicrous show of race intolerance. Nation's Criticism The "Nation," a journal of opinion published in New York and enjoying a wide circulation, has just issued its editorial columns to the free advertising of Virginia and Atlanta in a denunciatory editorial under the caption, "The Rising Tide of Prejudice." The Nation reviews the Atlanta barber ordinance scathingly, and declares that the attitude of Atlanta and Virginia belies the time-worn Southern claim that if the Negro should become industrious and mindful of his own business if he would be happy. Regarding Virginia, the Nation SAVES: "In Virginia there is Hampton Institute, one of the great institutions of the South, which has also been practicing the doctrines of Booker Washington in that it has been preparing the Negroes for trades ever since the Civil War. If there is a more valuable institution in Virginia we do not know it. As our readers are aware, it has been the pioneer in the industrial education of the Negro; by the sanity and strength and power of General Armstrong, the founder, and his successors, it has been a great influence for civilization for both whites and blacks. For years the whites from neighboring towns have gone, often uninvited, to the excellent entertainments offered at Hampton. Now at the instigation of a local editor a bill has been passed by the House of Delegates in Richmond, with only two sitting votes, forbidding the sitting together with the governor of Virginia of white and black people. It will bill the white guests at the Hampton entertainments have sat alongside colored students and colored members on its faculty. It will place the school's administration between the devil and the deep sea, for the colored people will not come to Hampton as they have heretofore, if there is to be segregation within its walls. But the governor signed the American-Indian bicameral bit of special legislation we trust that the school will take its constitutionally up to the Supreme Court if necessary, and, if it loses, remove the school to a civilized state. Hampton has contributed enormously to the material and social progress of Virginia. If this piece of prejudice is really enacted into a law, the state should lose the school and the entire country be notified that Virginia is insincere when it declares that it wishes the Negro to be trained along industrial lines and to be treated with justice." Old Dominion Bar Association To Meet Here March A special meeting of the Old Dominion Barr Association will be held in the First Calvary Baptist Church Monday, March 22, at 4 and 8 o'clock p. m. Henry Dolphin, of Roanoke, president of the association is urgently requesting the attendance at the meeting, as is the discussion of grave and important business is scheduled for the meeting. U. S. SUPREME COURT TO GET FRANCIS' CASE Civil Liberties Union, of New York, Will Appeal Sentence Of Virgin Islands Editor To U. S. Highest Tribunal. DECLARE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH INVOLVED New York—An appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court in the case of Rothschild Francis, Virgin Islands editor and legislator, will be taken at once by his attorneys. A. A. Berle jr., of New York and David Wallerstein of Philadelphia, following the recent decision of the U. S. Court at Philadelphia sustaining his sentence of 30 days for contempt of court in the Islands. Attorney Berle defended Francis before the Court of Appeals at Philadelphia, on appeal from two sentences, one for criminal libel and the other for contempt of court. Francis was sentenced by George Washington Williams, district judge of the Islands, and the case was appealed to the federal court at Philadelphia to which all appeals from the Islands are carried. The Philadelphia court reversed the conviction on the libel charge, but sustained the sentence for contempt. Tried Without Jury Tried Without Jury Frances of Francis maintain that the real reason for his sentence by the Virgin Islands court was his opposition to Williams' appointment as judge. He was tried without jury and sentenced to one month for printing an article criticizing an unnamed native policeman. The Philadelphia court in reversing the decision scored Judge Williams for trying to use libel laws to regulate the press. The contempt case grew out of an editorial Frank in his "An emancipator" charging that he had been "induced" in the libel case. The appeal is being supported by the American Civil Liberties Union which has been active in the case as an issue of a free press, and also by prominent Virgin Islanders in New York. DEPOSED BISHOP WANTS SCHOOL OF COMMUNISM Would Like To Hold Chair Of Heresy If Given The Opportunity, He Tells New York Workers' School. (Special Correspondence.) New York, March 10—Bishop William Montgomery Brown, deposed from the Episcopal Church, believes that nothing is more needed in this country than a school of Communism. The famous hero in sending his check for $100 to the Workers' School in its drive last week for a $10,000 fund, made that fact clear in the following letter to the director of the school: "I can think of nothing more needed in American than a school of Communism. I am glad to hear of the great work you are doing in New York. I wish I can attend your school as a student. I wish I could teach it, if you and the teacher thought me qualified. Though if would be physically impossible for me to undertake any such labor, it pleases me to dream that I might. I should like to occupy, say, your chair of heresy. Heresy Pervades School "I assume that you will have a chair of heresy, or that the idea of heresy will so pervade your institution that there will be small likelihood of your student body closing their minds to the actual realities of social evolution in supposed loyalty to some preconceived formulae. "The purpose of a school is to discover and to demonstrate the truth. There is no other legitimate purpose. Most 'sCHOOLS' believe, are not schools. Theological 'schools', for instance: their purpose is to keep certain concepts of the truth intact and to protect these concepts from a too rigorous questioning.

VIRGINIA ADOPTS A NEW SEPARATION OF RAGES LAW Massenburg Bill Aimed At Schools And Colleges Passed By General Assembly. The general assembly of Virginia adopted Tuesday the measure introduced by Delegate Massenburg of Hampton providing for the compulsory separation of the races in places of public assembly, including chapels and assembly halls of schools, public and private. The bill was passed by the senate 29 to 5. It had already been adopted by the house 64 to 2. Aimed at Hampton Institute It was frankly admitted by those behind the bill that it was aimed to bring about a change of certain alleged conduct within the Hampton Institute, where the ad-hoc instructive board and faculty are mostly white. The racial personnel of the Hampton officers and teachers make the strict observance of the letter of the law difficult. The law is also aimed to compel white people who attend concerts and entertainments of musical and literary nature in Ogden Hall to occupy special seats provided for them, separate and apart from the student body and colored visitors. The proponents of the law observed that racial separation as forced on passenger trains and street cars was not practiced in the Hampton Institute assembly hall. They desired that white people should be given front seats and colored seated in the gallery and rear seats, and the law was passed with that end in view. The passage of the law is expected to bring about a radical change in the policy of Hampton Institute, where public meetings are concerned, as it would be disastrous to the school to undertake to enforce the spirit and letter of the law. It is regarded as highly probable that school entertainments will be closed to the public, making it unnecessary to publicly humiliate the great student body at the behest of the Virginia general assembly. The Massenburg bill was proposed immediately after the announcement of the successful conclusion of the Hampton-Tuskegee $5,000,000 endowment drive. The law is said to be a forerunner of a number of measures which will be introduced in the new Virginia general school making it useful for white people to work or teach in Virginia schools, unless appointed by the state; or for colored educational institutions in Virginia to receive funds for educational purposes from sources outside of the state. The latter measures are aimed, it is reported, to prevent any increase in the Hampton endowment fund. Senator James S. Barron, of Norfolk, is one of the five Virginia senators who voted against the bill. DENY RACE USE OF (By Associated Negro Press. Wilmington, N.C., Mar 10—A request by the colored member of commons in the interest of the colored citizens for the use of the public library has been denied by the city council. The request came like a holt from the blue, taking the members of the council completely by surprise since there had been no intimation that colored persons had ever considered use of the library. The mayor tried to explain that he didn't know whether the city owned the library or a society which had found it, saying the records would have to be searched. He suggested that Negroes start soon to "roll their FRATERNITY DANCE BRINGS DISMISSALS Young Men and Women Attend "Backbiters" Party And Remain From Rooms In Dormitory All Night. CAPITAL AGOG OVER BREATH OF SCANDAL Washington, D. C. Mar. 10—A double standard of morals as applied in the case of three girls and two boy students, who were suspended for remaining out all night, has Howard University faculty and students—divided into two camps. One camp takes the view that the rules of the university regarding moral conduct should be applied alike to all students whether they live in the dormitories or in the city and whether they are students in the college of liberal arts and sciences or students in the professional schools. The Other View The other camp takes the view that the application of the university rules to students living in the city extends only to the confines of the campus and that the school authorities have nothing to do with their conduct off the campus after school hours. This entire controversy revolves around the suspension of five college students, and the non-suspension of two professional school students, who were involved in the same escapade. The girls were peremptorily dismissed on February 23 by Dean Lucy D. Slowe when they were reported by Miss Mace I. Hardwick, the preceptress, as having remained out of Miner Hall all night. The suspension on the college boys fellowship through the discipline committee, it is reported, recommended the suspension of the professional school students, who were in the party, the deans of the medical and law school did not follow this recommendation. Attend A Party According to current reports, the three suspended girls, another girl visitor in Miner Hall and the boys attended a "Backbiters" party on George Washington's birthday evening. They obtained permission to go to a dance on the campus. The campus dance was a costume affair and the girls were added to go to the "Backbiters" dance in the city. Instead of returning to the dormitory after the "Backbiters" dance had let out, the girls are reported to have visited a house party or cabaret. They did not show up on the campus until class time the next morning. Miss Hardwick learned that the girls were not to be found on the campus. During the night, she (Continued on Page 4) ROGERS' LECTURE ENTERTAINS CROWD Quite a crowd heard a most informative lecture by J. A. Rogers, the author and newspaper correspondent, in First Calvary Baptist Church on Monday night. Mr. Rogers spoke on the "Negro In Europe and America," and his talk held his auditors in rapt attention throughout the evening. The customs and habits of the Europeans as contrasted with those of the Americans were interestingly explained by the author, who has recently returned from a four-months stay in Paris and London. The race issue, or lack of race issue, as exists in those places illustrated by the speaker held keen interest for the audience, and punctured his remarks with various bits of entertaining humor. A few words of his speech were devoted to a description of his book, "From Superman to Man," which has attracted national attention. Several persons in the audience availed themselves of the opportunity to purchase one of them. Following the lecture, Mr. Rogers was the guest of honor at a reception in the Sunday school room of the church, at which were as guests, Rev. J. H. Ashy, formerly of this city now of Ashbury Park, N. J.; Rev, O. J. Allen, Messrs. P. B. Young, Woodhouse, E. C. Walton, J. A. Martin, C. L. Williams, Mrs. O. J. Allen and daughters, Misses Mary.. and Hattie and son, Lionel.

Powell Paints Lurid Picture of Depravity Of White Virginians Bares Official Records to Show That Members of His Race Have Long Been Aggressors In Building Mongrel Population of State. By J. A. ROGERS We, colored folk, have long insisted that the so-called Anglo-Saxon in the South carries so much of a blood in his veins, that if "the color line" were accurately drawn we'd be the dominant group over-night. I venture to say that there is not a single one of the ten or twelve millions of us, decharged Negroes, does not know at least one "Negro" who can "pass" in any company of blondes, and at called Anglo-Saxon in the South is so mixed that it would be as impossible to tell who is really "white" and who is not as it would be to pick out the white meat from the dark in a bowl of finely-ground chicken hash. Amazing Expose But now thanks to what I regard as the most amazing expose of race mixing I have ever seen we may speak of the present day conditions, not as priests and scribes, but with authority. I myself, have more gone studied in the past and present, in "As Nature Leads," and had ransacked libraries and questioned individuals for such matter without getting it nearly as fully and as authoritatively. In their frantic endeavor to maintain exploiting an aristocracy based Mr. Rogers of blondes, and at least one who is "passing"—I know scores. Since this is so, it means that there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps, millions of others, who are of Negro ancestry and never dream it. Indian and Negro Our individual experiences in this matter would make a most astonishing volume, indeed. But we haven't it recorded in black and white, which is what counts. There are "The Beginnings of Miscogenation" by Carter G. Woodson; "The Social History of the American Family," by Calhoun, a white man, and other books to prove that the whites, in the past, have been mixing to a greater or less degree with Negroes since the first recorded instance in 1630 in Henning's Statutes of Virginia. It is also well-known that the Indian and the Negro mixed freely from the beginning, and that in later years, the Indian has carried through legalized marriage a tremendous amount of Negro strain into the white. Indeed, the so- EDUCATION OF ENTAILS SMALL TO VIRGINIA HIGHER EDU NEGRO ENT OUTLAY TO HIGHER EDUCATION OF NEGRO ENTAILS SMALL OUTLAY TO VIRGINIA State Also Spends Doubly As Much For Treatment And Care of Mental Defectives As For Higher Education. There appears to be quite a margin between the annual expenditures for higher education of the Negro by the states of Virginia and North Carolina, with the latter making the more favorable showing, according to official records at Richmond and Raleigh. In fact, North Carolina's annual appropriation for higher education for Negroes is approximately two and one-half times as much as the Virginia appropriation for the same purpose. The records of the auditor of public accounts at Richmond also show that Virginia spends more than doubly as much for the support of Negro state elemosynary institutions as it spends for higher education of its Negro youth, and spends for college education of the whites annually a sum approximately ten and one-half times what it spends for college education for Negroes. Comparative Figures For the white population of 1,617,909 (1,020 census) Virginia appropriated for higher education for the biennium 1926-28, $1,245-925, exclusive of $251,000 appropriated for the Extension Division and Experiment Station of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and exclusive of what was appropriated for the State Teachers' College. The institutions getting this money were the University of Virginia, College of William and Mary, Virginia Military Institute and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. For the fiscal year ending February 28, 1926, the state appropriated for higher education for the Negro population of 690,017 (1920 census) $138,025, the ratio being about $1.10 per capita per annum for the Negro population for colored. The only state supported institution doing any college grade work for Negroes is Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. For all state supported Negro schools exclusive of local high and elementary, which include V. N. and I. I., the Virginia Industrial School at Peake's Virginia Man- A. B.

In their frantic endeavor to maintain exploiting an aristocracy based on competition and public display, is, in the other fellow—Virginians have in Richmond a fire-proof building in which is being kept a record of everyone according to "race," known as the Bureau of Vital Statistics. I had been planning to go into this building to do a little "digging" when to my intense good fortune I found that John Powell, founder of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, who is waging a bitter fight to weed out all the goats from the sheep, had been publishing the facts in a series of articles in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Powell, who is much hated—by those whites, who are not so anxious to have their ancestry looked into, also appears to be backed up in his information by two professors, one from Goucher College, Baltimore, who have been conducting investigations under the auspices of the Carnegie Institute and are to publish soon a book called "Mongrel Virginians." (Continued on Page Nine) ural Labor School at Hanover and Virginia School for Colored Deaf and Dumb, there was appropriated for the fiscal year ending February 28, 1926, $350,400, of which sum $138,025 went to N. and I. I.;$ 27, 120 to Virginia Industrial School; $252,510 to Virginia Manual Labor School, and $34,775 to Virginia Deaf and Dumb School. None of these institutions except the first named make any approach to doing college grade work. For Elemosynary Institutions Virginia appropriated $350,430 for state supported Negro schools, exclusive of elementary for the fiscal year ending February 28, 1926, and for the same period it appropriated $148,050 for colored elementary institutions, these being Central State Hospital at Petersburg, Piedmont Sanitarium, Burkelle. Of the total appropriation 60 percent was for the State Hospital for mental defectives got $387,450, while Piedmont Sanitarium, an institution devoted to treatment of tuberculosis got $69,595, making an expenditure five times five as great for treatment and care of mental defectives as for tuberculosis patients. The amount appropriated for Central State Hospital approximates two and one-half times as much as the amount appropriated for N. and J. in the same city, and total $75,750. The total amount appropriated for all state supported Negro schools, exclusive of high and elementary. North Carolina The last General Assembly of North Carolina appropriated $580,000 for the biennum for Negro schools doing college grade work. Of this amount $420,000 was for maintenance, while $180,000 was for repairs and improvements. This means that $210,000 annually went for maintenance, an amount one and one-half times the entire Virginia appropriation of $138,025. The amount being spent in that state for Negro elementary education between $400,000 and $400,000 annually, which means that North Carolina annually spends about $750,000 on secondary and college education for Negroes. Owners of the 1,650,000 automobiles registered in New York contributed $25,000,000 to the state treasury last year. SPECULATION ON SUCCESSOR TO DR. DURKEE Names Of Prominent Educators Linked With Presidency Of Howard University. SCOTT WOULD NOT CONSIDER TENDER (By Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., March 9—Trustees of Howard University are easing "about for the "Best President in America," for the big educational institution in the nations capital. President Durke's resignation takes effect July first. The Associated Negro Press represent talked with President Durke before he made announcement of his acceptance of the pulpit once occupied by Henry Ward Beecher. Dr. Durke was looking from the windows of the new gymnasium and out into the field, will be finished for baseball and football this year. He told of his dreams for Howard University, and then he feelingly, but without animosity, described how the motives of people are sometimes misunderstood. Tha at Dr. Durke loves Howard-University was evident by the enthusiasm he has for the future—a future which he could now dismiss, if he so desired. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who has been secretary-treasurer of Howard for many years, advised the Associated Negro Press that under no circumstances will he consider the suggestion that he be president. "I am a business man, and if the trustees wish my continued service for the school, I think I can be of greatest assistance in my present office," declared Dr. Scott. Other names being mentioned for consideration are Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of Florida; Dr. John Hope of Atlanta; Garnett C. Wilkerson, now assistant superintendent of Washington schools, Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, Dr. Kelly Miller, Dr. Ernest Just, and Dr. Randolph, president of Claflin College, a Methodist school. There will be others. One of the most prominent trustees said, when asked whether he favored a white or Negro president: "I wish the best president possible, whether white or black. Howard is to occupy an even greater field in education, and we must have the very best man, a real educator, and one who can serve the school in its larger development." This seems to express the majority sentiment. Register of Treasury Discussed The presence in the city of Ernest G. Tidrington of Indiana, has again set about discussion of the office of register of the treasury. There are a number of changes going on in the register's office, and it is regarded possible that the president is seriously considering naming a Negro for register. It is known that many United States senators, and high officials of the party have urged this. Other names discussed are Anthony Oveton, of Chicago; Malone, of St. Louis; and Isaac H. Nutter of New Jersey. Nutter is an independent Republican, and that is one of the chief reasons. The office of recorder of deeds is also being hotly discussed in political circles. There has been much surprise concerning the efforts behind Dr. R. A. Williams of Chicago. It was thought that William Randolph Cowan of Chicago had the inside track on this. Those high in the consells have said Mr. Cowan practically had the place in his hands. Some say he deigned the honor. It is stated however, that he was defiant of the pointmen until after the Illinois primary, and that the attempt to ignore the regular Republican leaders in Chicago may block the appointment of a Chicagoan and give the plum to some other state. In the meantime, Arthur G. Free continues to record. Father Of 49 Children Memphis, Tenn.-James K.

The boy does not attend the same school I do, but I pass where he works two and three times a week and he doesn't speak. Sometimes he turns to me and tells me what to do for I am love sick. Don't tell me to forget him for I don't see how I can do it. I've tried over and over, so please tell me how to win his love.

I have no answer to give you in regard to how to win him back, but I can tell you what to do to begin your own self respect. Stop looking in the place where he works when you pass, then there will be no chances for him not to speak to you. Dear Naomi: Last year I met a boy who had just come into the city. We met at my chum's house. Afterwards he came to visit me and was my regular friend. One day we became angry over a matter which I called foolish. After this for about two weeks, we did not speak. Later we began to speak and now we are just more friends. He was so nice to me. The last time he called he asked me if I had not treated him wrong and that we should make up, but dear Naomi I can never love him again. Now please tell me if I should tell him I do not love him. He is tall and handsome. I am tall and not considered ugly. I wish you would tell me what to tell him, because I don't know what to do. Dear Dimples: Not knowing what the quarrel was about I do not know of course whether you have treated him wrong or not, but my dear, if you do not love him you can do so, a nice courteous way, and yet remain on good terms with him. Dear Naomi: I am writing for your advice, to help you in the 17 year old school, about 5 feet and 4 inches tall, short bob hair and weight 140 pounds. My patients try to make me happy. I want to go away next September and study for a trained nurse. I met a young fellow last year that seems to be a flirt. He has a girl here that he seems to care very much for and I am very happy. He is with me sometimes once or twice a week, but still he says he cares for me. What do you think of it? There is another young gentleman that I've cared a little for but on account of, his girl friend we stopped socializing. Now he tells me that I am the only one he loves and that he has changed, but I don't care anything for him now. He visits me every Sunday afternoon and tells me many other little things, but I don't pay any attention to him. Don't you think I am doing right? Please let me hear from you at once. I've a very important question I want to ask you in my next letter. BROWN EYES Dear Brown Eyes: It is so nice you wish to be a nurse and I wish you luck. The young man may be a flirt and then it may be congenial friendship. You see girlle, the boys nowadays (and all other times for that matter) always like to be friendly, with more than one girl. The thing to do is not to attach too much importance to what they say. You ask if I think you are doing right. I do. For a personal letter send stamped addressed envelope.

Spraying Trees In Bloom Injurious To Honeybees When spraying fruit trees, care should be taken to do the work at a time when there is the least danger of poisoning the honeybees which visit the blossoms and which are very necessary for the pollination of the flowers, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Spraying fruit trees while in full bloom with arsenicals is particularly injurious to bees, according to tests which have been completed by the Bureau of Entomology. Of course the breaker does not want his bees poisoned, says the department, because as a result his honey crop is reduced. The subject should be of even more interest, however, to fruit growers because with the loss of the honeybees they lose the most effective means of pollination in their orchard. His bees must be kept, the fruit grower, and in fact everyone is benefited by honeybees. The effect of anexical sprays on the mortality of honeybees has long been debated, but only a few systematic investigations have been made to aid in setting the dispute. In the hope of answering definitely some of the questions so long debated, these tests were conducted. While they are limited in their scope, they do enable the department to make some recommendations. Spraying apple trees during full bloom is not recommended because the coding moth can be as well controlled by spraying when 90 percent of the petals have fallen, and because spraying when the trees are in full bloom is injurious to insect pollinators. Lenten Recipes With the advent of the lenton season, fish dishes will be seen more frequently upon the table in many families. Here are a few tried recipes that may be of help to those cooks who like to serve appetizing dishes: Halibut Cutlets—Pass two pounds of raw kalibut, free from bones, through the food chopper several times. Beat one-half cup butter until creamy and work into the fish. Add five table spoons a cream, one-half teaspoon paprika, a few drops of onion juice, one teaspoon salt, a few grains of black pepper, and mix well. Form into cutlet shapes. Beat two eggs slightly with one-fourth cup of water. Dip cutlets into the egg and then into fine breadcrumbs. Fry in hot, deep fat for about five minutes. Serve with paprika sauce. Paprika Sauce—Melt one-fourth cup of butter and in it cook one sliced onion and a sprig of parsley until soft and yellow but not brown. Add one-fourth cup of sifted flour and blend well. Stir in three-fourths cup of fish or meat stock, one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon paprika, and one cup tomato juice. Stir constantly, until smooth and creamy. Strain, add one-half cup scaled cream or rich milk and pour over halibut cutlets. Salt Codfish Pie—One cup salt codfish, two cups ricecled potatoes, one-half cup culked cracker crumbs, one-fourth cup grated cheese, one egg, one-half cup milk, two tablespoons butter, fat or oil, parsley. Shred the codfish and soak in lukewarm water. Drain, add the potatoes and milk, and put in a greased baking dish. Spread with the egg, heat lightly. Cover with the crumbs mixed with the melted fat and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake for 12 minutes and serve garnished with parsley. Salmon Loaf—Three cupsfuls stale breadcrumbs, one cup smoked sturgeon or salmon, one pint scalded milk, one-fourth teaspoon each of salt, pepper and paprika, two eggs. Add the milk to the breadcrumbs and let stand 15 minutes. Then add the fish, freshened and shredded, the eggs, beaten, and the salt, pepper and paprika. Bake in a rather slow oven for one hour or steam, if preferved. HOOSIT? 12—He was a Quaker (Friend) of Delaware, and assisted nearly 3,000 slaves to escape from bondage; he was at last convicted and fined so heavily that he lost all his property. When the auctioneer had sold the last piece of property to pay the fire he said: "I hope you will never be guilty of doing the like again." The Quaker replied, "Friend, I am sixty years old, and have not a dollar in the world, but if you know a fugitive slave that needs a breakfast, send him to me."

Birmingham, Ala., Mar 10—The local branch of the Young Men's Christian Church purchased the homes of The Robert B. Lee chapter of the ku klux klim at a reported cost of $200,000. Mr. Henry F. Poho, formerly with Carlton Stores, Inc., of Baltimore and Mr. Grimstead, who are the number of years with the Walter J. Simmons Co., has acquired the Schwartz Hall Store, in Baltimore, to be constructed under the trade name of Rumgan and Poho, Hatters. These men have had several years experience in the retail hat business, and their venture on brambly street gives every promise of unimaginable success. Mr. Grimestead is well known here by both colored and white and during his connection with the Simmons hat store made a large following of the former, who undoubtedly will be glad to visit him at the Granby street address. The policy of the Ruepenan and Pole Hatters will be to sell the best obtainable for the price, and it is quite certain that Mr. Pole will inaugurate methods which have contributed to the success of the Carlton Stocks, of Baltimore. They are at present in the Schwartz store doing business with an excellent line of high grade headwear and invite colored citizens of Norfolk to call and inspect their stock.

Education Day Observed By Nation's Women The National Association of Colored Women has set aside March 10 us Education Day. On this day women all over the country will be discussing education and its relation to the progress of our race. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, national chairman of the scholarship fund, has the following to say in the course of her open letter to clubs, published in the National News. February issue. We have a long stretch from reaching our goal of $50,000 for the Scholarship Loan Fund. As a great National Body, it is incumbent upon us to complete this great undertaking. Our Reputation At Stake "Our reputation, as women of intelligence and character, is at stake. We made a grand effort and caused the eyes of the enlightened world to turn their upon us as doing justice worth worthwhile hearty approval. If we are to retain the confidence of the public we must go forward. We began and consumed an excellent project in freezing from debt and beautifying the Douglass Home which is the possession of the National Association of Colored Women and its cherished object. But all material objection, according to nature's laws, must decay and pass away. "The aim of the National Scholarship Drive is to establish a Scholarship Fund to assist worthy girls to obtain an education—to secure for them a wider field of usefulness, a higher standard of life, and an inspiration to coming generations. Our women did nobly when they placed on the altar and planted $4,000 in gas and plighted $4,000, but we have not got won the coveted prize. Mrs. Eleanor Young, chairman of the Department of Education of the Virginia State Federation is planning an education program for the clubs. A mass meeting will be staged in the near future, at which time one of the State wecers will adhere to the women. The City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs is observing the day by having educational programs at their club meetings during this week. FREE Beauty Book P MRS.

"The New Age of Faith" does not offer us a new faith but exposes the faith of today, the faith in science as it has been popularized for us and especially the faith in eagerness. In two hundred and fifty clever, always entertaining pages, Mr. Langdon Davies shows that man is a warshipper, and that "ninety-nine men out of every hundred approach science and its works in the same spirit and through the same gateway as their ancestors approached God and His." They have not the superstition of the past but they have the faith. Bolton Climbs Ladder (For Associated Negro Press) Jacksonville, Fla., March 10—Jamelu D. Bolton, who for the most part of the Florida Sentinel, resigned last week to become editor of the co-edged department of the Jacksonville Journal, the white afternoon daily, succeeding the late Prof. W. I. Lewis. His resignation which was not a surprise to many persons in this city, places him in a position of definite influence. Not that the writer has any leaning toward those who cling to the old faith and the old superstitions. He laughs at antievolutionists, and he shows, too, the fallacy of the early evolutionists, lead by Herbert Spencer. The optimism of the latter part of the nineteenth century, the belief in the perf. stability of man is pronounced untenable. After expressing the fallacies of the old faiths, the new faith is examined and also found wanting. The most interesting part of the book to Book Chat readers should be the chapter entitled: "What We Mean By Race?" We learn that people have to classify other people in some way, have used quite arbitrary methods. Those who differed from them in color, or general contour, belonged to different races. But there are no differences of any great importance. Two that are commonly used are head shape and hair texture. Stripped of their Latin terminology, these mean simply that some people have heads broader than others and some people have hair that in cross section is round (straight), some that is oblong (curl), and some that is more oblong (woolly).

Va.—The Bluefield Institute basketball team, champions of West Virginia, beat the Wilberforce University quint in a fest and furious game at Bluefield, W. Va., March 3, 26-24. It was the old story of two tall and fighting guards and a combination, that could score under any conditions, against an over-confident team that met their Waterloo against a clean and valiant spirit. Every member of the Bluefield team scored two baskets and all the Wilberforce Aces were stopped except Richie, and this is what lost the game. Ward, Wilberforce's captain and star did not make a basket and one point from the basket line was the sum total of an evening's work. Richie with his clean sportsmanship oarneist play, scintillating all evening and won cheered cheers of the Bluefield crowd at all stages of the game. He was the high point man for the Buckeyes, scoring four field goals and one foul. Hick man, Bluefield's captain was the high point man for the game and for the Big Blue team with two field goals and six out of seven fouls for a total of ten points. He played a great floor game and was the main clog in Couch Jefferson's defense. The Bluefield team is scheduled to make a trip through the state of Ohio and to meet Wilberforce on their home floor. The big blue team has been successful on large floors and will be sure to give the gold and green a real face their own back yard. Or they can match them in speed and are superior in defensive play.

C., Mar. 10—All anxiety regarding the continuance of the Howard-Lincoln Football Classic was put at rest this week when Prof. H. E. Grim, treasurer of the Lincoln University Athletic Association, wrote the authorities of Howard University to the effect that he had been authorized to inform the Howard University Board of Athletic Control that "Howard University accepts Howard University's kind invitation to play the Thanksgiving game for 1926 at your stadium.

All "home engagements" will be played in the Howard University Stadium, a new plant which will be completed sometime this summer. The Wolverforce University and the Howard University Alumni Clubs of Chicago have entered upon negotiations with the two institutions looking forward to the staging of the Wolverforce-Howard Game in Chicago. It is proposed that this big game be an annual classic for Chicago. Howard University officials will accept the proposition if suitable arrangements are effected. The schedule as a whole will doubleless be the most difficult schedule ever played by Howard University or any other institution in the country. Coach Watson does not believe in playing an easy schedule. His ambition is to play the best in the country. With the material left over from the great team of 1925 he believes that his squad will come through with another clean slate for 1926. With the acceptance by mine outstations of Howard University invitation, and the organization of the American College Athletic Association, together with the conclusion of negotiations assuring continuance of the Howard-Lincoln Classes the whole situation in athletics has been clarified on the Howard University "Hill." BRICK WINDS UP SEASON Bricks, N. C. The Brick Junior College quintet cagers won four out of five games played in seven playing days. This is an exceptional feat considering the type and calibre teams played. The Panthers raised the lid off on this trip by defeating Orange county at Chapel Hill in a hard fought contest, 18-10. They journeyed to Durham and took the Hilliard "Hornets" into camp in a tune of 31-25. This team had won six straight games and bidding strong for the championship. In their team, Brick tasted defeat for the first time in basketball since 1924. They lost to A. and T. College by 30-33.

YOUNG Hampton, Va., March 9—The basketeers of Union Street High of this city, victors over many a promising aggregation, failed to measure up the ball dislays of the Baltimore "Y" and left the gym clinging funnically to the lighter end of an 18-7 score. Many thrills and upsets, featured with the keen pass work of the Memorial City boys furnished the customers with plenty of enjoyment. Although Union's lanky center, Robinson, slipped through and registered the initial basket, it was not long before the "Y" showed that the result would be only a matter of time.

In a sensational last half pelt, that brought the gathering to its feet, the Wilberforce quint came from behind to trample Howard under feet and piling up a score of thirty-four points, while holding the Bisons to fifteen scattered tallies. In the first half, Howard was ramping mercily along leading the fray at 12-8, fully confident of victory, but are the final whistle that was to sound the games requiem, 'Force' made a maddening dash and completely smothered the Washington lads. Wilberforce Holded Howard to three points in the second and last half and went on to pile up twenty-five points. The were from the free throw line. So fierce was the guarding of the Ohio team, the Bisons were unable to chalk up a score from the floor.

ST- "A" CLOSES CAGING SEASON Brunswick, Ga.—St. Athanasius' School close her basketball season on her own court, Friday night, March 5, when her invincible basketeers defeated the plucky quint of the Burke Industrial School of Charleston, St. Augustine, the scholming of 63 to 17. It was the third team of the Brunswick school, however, which pulled off the honors, the third team being sent in through the second half to make the game more interesting for the spectators. The last period was to more like a competition, the Charlestonians succeeded in scoring two more points than St. 'As' midges. The Lightning Five. St. Athanasius' varsity cagers, were spectators throut the fray. The first half was a regular walkaway for the side 'Saints', the scoring, at the end of this period, having mounted to 40 to 2. Any vacancy on this season's line-up of the Lightning Five promises to be well filled next year. St. Athanasius' has not lost a game and has scored 397 points against opponents 150.

C.—Many enthusiastic basketball fans saw the Avery cagers from Charleston trampled underfoot by Coach Preston's quintet of Prancing Panthers, to the tune of 49-21 in the college gym. In the first part of the game one was at a loss to decide which was the better team for although the Panthers landed the first shot and shortly afterwards a chime in with a couple of double deckers thus giving the lead of 1 point for his team. This period of indecision, however, did not last very long for after the Panther combination had put into operation an offensive attack that resulted in a short stab by Captain Bythewood and a long shot from the mid-court by Knight it was quite evident that Qafflin was the superior team.

The one-sided score does not in any manner indicate the furious and over-exciting character of the game. Almost hopelessly behind, Dayton Marathons never gave up hope of turning the tide and in some almost miraculous fashion turning in a last minute win. And well might they have expected to do so, for a few weeks ago, in Dayton, while trailing Hi-Y by a margin the Marathons opened up a wonderful rally in the last five minutes that netted two points, and a 36 to 22 triumph over the team that turned the tables against them tonight, and decisively. On recent victory against the winner of tonight, Hi-Y was travel weary. Tonight it was the Marathons who, straight from a week's tour were road worn.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE B.T's Hold 'Cent Down to Close S B.T's Hold 'Centers' Down to Close Score In one of the most closely contested games of the season, and one that bordered on the sensational, the Community Five came from behind, under pressure to down the Fighting Bookers, with a count of 14 to the fourth game of the Guide篮球 League series. The game was fast and thrilling through the contest. With the score running even most of the time, first one and then the other five would forge ahead with one or two points. Three boys battled desperately in a fighting effort to take the fray, with the High School determined to take the League leaders. But the latter was equally determined to play the leading role. Things looked pretty dark and gloomy for Community, when Booker Washington was leading the way at 8-2. However, the blue and white five rallied to even matters at S-8 and then it was a game of first one and then the other would forge ahead. Both teams were romping true to form, with Bibbins standing out most conspicuously for the Bookers, leading with 7 field goals and Wilkins and Faulks playing the stellar role for Community, leading their team with three field goals each. First Game The first game, in which the Norfolk Athletic Club and the Collegians opposed each other for the second time, was another hard fought affair, with the former fighting the hardest to take the final and deciding count at 14-5. The Norfolk A. C. put up a more stubborn fight in this game, than in the first game staged between these two five, but the Collegians had the stuff to come thru. Collegians lead by a close margin at half time, 4-1, but was able to add ten more points to this in the second frame while N. A. C. was only able to get four more points after missing numbers of easy shots that just would not go. THE LINEUPS Community "5"—19 T. W.—16 Poole F Bibbins Thomas F Galloway L.

College closed its basketball season here tonight, by defeating Shaw 18 to 17. The victory brought sweet revenge to the Byarm's boys and stinging remorses and defeat to the Baptists. Shaw started off with unusual dash, which seemed to have swept the local boys off of their feet. A. and T.'s defense was unable to hold in check the rushing attack of the visitors and seemed equally as inefficient in finding the basket from either the field or chalked line. Several times, Coach Byarm's charges failed to score when easy opportunities presented themselves. The failure of the A. and T. quintet to cope with the situation gave Shaw a decided advantage of 16 to 8 at the end of the first half. During the intermission, confident of victory because of the 16 to 8 lead, Shaw's boys quietly rested. At the opening of the second half, Foust, who had been kept off the floor because of injuries, was sent in. From then on, A. and T. quintet took on new courage and gave a real exhibition of basketball. In the wake of this dazzling offense and defense, the Shaw boys, demoralized and put to rout, were unable to make but two scores—not one from the field—while the home boys brought their end up from 8 to 18. Faulks was the highest scorer of the evening, netting six points. He was closely pursued by his leader, Captain Streater. The whole game was fought doggedly and courageously. Black and Diamond were the high point makers for the visitors, making four points each. The speed and dribbling of Armstrong were the outstanding performances displayed by Shaw.

Next games of the league will be stages March 19, in which the Community Live will oppose the Colts and High School, the Norfolk A. C. MOREHOUSE WON SPAULDING TROPHY The season of 1925-26 has been one of great activity among the schools of the Southeastern College Athletic Association. The following schools were represented on the court by quintets: Morehouse, Tuskegee, Clark, Morris Brown, Alabama S. N. S., Atlanta University, Tennessee A. and I., Fisk, and Thaddega. Florida University, Florida were the only schools in the league not represented. Attendance, enthusiasm sm and close scores made the season the greatest ever. Morehouse College for the fourth consecutive year won the championship, not losing a single game, although hard pressed by Clark University. The Morehouse College quintet has not lost to a Southern team since 1915. And their record is the more remarkable when we consider the fact that they do not have a gymnasium. Yet year after year, by making use of an outdoor court, a small basement room with six posts and a city "Y" gym two days per week they have been able to build a team that has made a name for itself along the entire East nort court. However, the students of Morehouse have taxed themselves and paid into the college office over $2,000 toward a gymnasium. The president of the college has promised to match dollar for dollar. Work on the new gymnasium is to be begun as soon as the weather opens. Knowville College and Tuskegee are expecting to have a new basketball court next year. Clark, Talladega, Tenn. A, and L, Ala. S, N. S, and Fisk already have good playing courts although the accommodations for spectators are limited. Morehouse won the Spalding g Championship Trophy with nine victories and no defeats. Clark was runner up with ten victories and two defeats. Atlanta University and Morris Brown tied for third place, with Tuskegee, Ala. S. N. S. and Talladega playing give and take with little margin to choose between the three. Fisk and Tenn. A. and I. played short schedules with Tennessee apparently the best.

It was a fast game, yet at times a one-sided affair, with the Claflin Panthers setting the pace and the plucky Institute's team fighting bravely to check the overwhelming victory, which the Panthers were romping to. The Claflin team is the first team in two years to pile up a score of 24 points on the home team, and much credit goes to their coach Tutt. THE LINEUP PAPERS DEFEND AGAINST ATTACK (Continued from Page One) though it attempts to discount the effect the Nation's denuncia tion might have upon the conscience of with the forces of tolerance, even the home folks by referring to Villard's antecedents. The Richmond Times-Dispatch, which has advocated the passage of the denounced measures from the beginning, in an attempt to discredit the Nation before the South, brings Villard's known race tolerance views to the front in a manner that harkens back to the old time holler of "nigger lover." Views Expresed Concerning the Nation's attack on Virginia, the Ledger-Dispatch among other things says: "The vicious and unfriendly attack on Virginia in the Nation need surprise no one familiar with the antecedents of Oswald Garrison Villard, its editor. From a relative of William Lloyd Garrison the South has little reason to expect either a sympathetic understanding or a decent ragard for its problems. It may be questioned whether Virginia did not allow open to such an audience by the introduction two troublesome bills this legislature measures that appear to be unnecessary and calculated to disturb the friendly relations that now exist between the white and colored races. "To cure whatever abuse may have existed at Hampton by passage of a statewide law is to invite an appeal which may prove destructive to much of the good feeling that now exists. Had the matter been left to a conference between the governor and the superintendent of Hampton Institute no doubt the point could have been covered without resorting to an act of doubtful constitutionality. "Those who are inclined to let their antipathy to the Negro run away with them should recall that Hampton Institute is doing a valuable work both in industrial training of Negro youths and in providing teachers for the colored public schools of the state. If we did not have Hampton Institute, created by Northern endowment, the state would undoubtedly have to provide another normal school to provide teachers, the supply of which is now far below the demand. In fact, State Superintendent Hart is now looking for two hundred Negro school teachers and assert that they are not available from any source." The Richmond Times-Dispatch makes the following defense: "The Nation" is a magazine of current opinion published weekly by Oswald Garrison Villard, to which the pen of H. L. Mencken, South-baiter, is no stranger. For the purpose of what follows and to the end that his sympathetic trends may be established in the minds of Virginians whom he reviles as uncivilized, it will be well to know just who is this Mr. Villard. For this, let, "Who's Who" be constituted. Oswald Garrison Villard was born in Wiesbaden, Germany. He is the grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, the abolitionist. Formerly he edited the New York Evening Post, of which he was the president, and he is the author of several books, among which ahe Scores Between "Y" Union High, 14-1 Through error, the score between the Y. W. C. A. girls' basketball team, of Norfolk and the Union high school girls, of Hampton, was reported at 17-1, which should have been 14-1, with the school sexette still on the big end. several books, among which are Years After," "Germany Embattled" and a history of the Imperial Court. He is also president of the Manassas (Va.) Industrial School, an institution for Neremos. The Roanoke World-News makes in part the following comment: "The Nation's editorial is, in many ways, violent and intolerant. It nevertheless represents the viewpoint of thousands of people who will condemn Virginia if this bill is passed. The bill, as the Nation points out, was introduced to meet a local situation at Hampton, although the bill as drawn is general in its scope. "The racial integrity bill, as introduced, was a farce. It would have labelled as "colored" some of the most distinguished of living Virginians. Since its introduction, the bill has been amended and most of the objectionable features removed. Even so, the bill is certain to cause trouble. Relations between colored people and white people in Virginia have been remarkably good in recent years. The passage of these two bills and the approval of them by the governor will be certain to stir up unending trouble. "Since trouble within the state and ugly publicity without the state are almost certain to come about the two such laws, it will be a fortunate thing for Virginia if these two bills can be lost in the legislative jam this week. If they are passed, Governor Byrd can render the state real service by vetoing them." DEPOSED BISHOP WANTS SCHOOL (Continued from Page One) of opan-minded searchers for truth can achieve this task—truth all along the line; the truth about industry; the truth about American industry as distinguished from the industrial situation in Russia, where our comrades have made such inspiring progress; the truth about capitalism, not merely the truths which Marx discuses, but the many variations of capitalism which have since appeared and which even Marx could not foresee. "If we know the truth about all these things, we shall be able to cope with them. If we are merely schocked in doctrine instead, we may hope for no more of a triumph than that of the Christian Church. I say this, not because I fear that you may be drifting into the darkness of dogmatism, but by way of expressing my enthusiasm for your school of Communism. It must be a real school, and I have no reason to believe that it will not be. "With every good wish for the school and all to whom we are indebted for, it, I am. Very cordially yours, "(Signed) Wm.

Mr. Diamond, preached an impressive sermon on Sunday morning from the subject: "Standing Up For Jesus," text: Proverbs 25:26. "A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring." He deplored the present day tendency of people to violate certain legal and moral codes on the grounds that to obey them was an abridgement of personal liberty. "We are not only responsible for our conduct, but for the influence which emanates from our conduct," he said. "We are indeed our brother's keeper. If the righteous fall down before the wicked it becomes a serious matter. God intends that we should stand up. If life's stream is polluted at its source it will contaminate all who come in contact with it. Don't challenge the devil. Stay close to Jesus. He will take care of the devil." Following the sermon, Mr. J. A. Rogers, author and newspaper correspondent of New York City, and Mr. P. B. Young, who were present, were introduced and made some remarks touching the work in which Mr. Rogers is engaged.

WANT METHOD OF NAMING HOWARD BOARD CHANGED Alumni Association Petitions Congress To Amend Charter of Institution To Curb Alleged Minority Control. Washington, D. C., Mar. 9—The General Alumni Association of Howard University is petitioning the Congress to amend the charter of Howard University to change the present method of selecting university trustees. The alumni is seeking to have the government of Howard University vested in a board of not less than eighteen trustees to be appointed and selected as follows: "One-third by the Cimmissioner of Education, one-third elected by a mail ballot of the alumni of the university under alumni auspices, and these two thirds thus appointed and elected shall at their first meeting elect by a written ballot one-third additional trustees." Under this plan the terms of one-third of each group would expire in one year, one-third in two year, and one-third in three years. After the first election the term of each trustee would be for a period of three years. Charge Group Control In support of their memorial the alumni charge that a large part of the failure "of the administration at Howard University to properly function is due to the undue influence exercised by a small group in the control of the university caused by the fact that the board is self-perpetuated and responsible to no one for its acts and has allowed a few aspirants for control to assume charge of affairs." A change in the method of electing or appointing trustees, the memorial says, "would reduce to a minimum the possibility of there being formed within the board such small controlling group." The memorial is signed by Geo. Frazier Miller, president, General Alumni Association, and Thomas A. Johnson, secretary of the memorial committee.

HINES; WON'T RESIGN Tuskegee Hospital Chief Engineer Declines To Submit Resignation Requested By Head of Veterans' Bureau. (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., Mar. 9—W. L. Jones, chief engineer at the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala., has refused to comply with the demand of the Veterans' Bureau that he tender his resignation effective as of October 12, 1925, the date of his suspension from duty on charges filed by Melvin J. Chisum, of Chicago, Ill. Won't Resign He has advised General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, that he would not comply with the request that he submit his resignation. The first is that any settlement of the controversy with regard to the conduct of this hospital upon any condition other than his full restoration to duty would be an unwarranted punishment for his faithfulness to duty. His second reason is that should he submit his resignation as requested it would preclude him from pay, which he claims is due him up to the final settlement of his case. Suspended Last Year Mr. Jones was suspended from duty as chief engineer at the Tuskegee Hospital on October 8, 1925, on charges preferred by Mr. Chishum. The charges were that he was disloyal to the hospital administration; that he conspired to bring about the removal of Major J. H. Ward, the medical officer in charge of the hospital, and other hospital officers; that he planned to secure damaging evidence against officers by misrepresentation. These charges were denied by Mr. Jones. An investigation and hearing into these charges were had, but the Veterans' Bureau took no action until Mr. Jones inquired as to the status of his case. He was then informed that on account of his official conduct and other activities at the Tuskegee hospital, he had brought about a condition which made it inadvisable for him to be continued in the service of the Veterans' Bureau. Under date of February 26, last he appealed to General Hines "to prevent what I cannot restrain myself from believing," he declared, "to be an outrageous persecution, a gross miscarriage of jus- Old Dominion Line Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc Direct All Water Route to New York Passenger and Freight Sailing 7:15 P.

Accuses Superior Officer When the management of the hospital was turned over to Major Ward as commanding officer, Walter S. Burke as chief clerk, Preston H. Roney as property custodian and J. C. Calhoun as auditor, Mr. Jones declared in his appeal to General Hines, it soon became apparent that "their sudden accession to power had developed them into self-centered, arrogant, discourse, unreasonable and extremely autocratic administratives." As a result of the conditions which existed, Mr. Jones says, on April 23, 1925, he tendered his resignation effective May 1, 1925, giving as his reason "unsatisfactory working conditions." The Veterans' Bureau wired Dr. Ward directing him to have Mr. Jones remain at the hospital until an investigation could be made. Dr. C. M. Griffith was sent from the Veterans' Bureau here to make this investigation. Mr. Jones charged gross mismanagement of the hospital by Dr. Ward and the other administrative officers.

Holsey, and "out of their fertile brains evolved the plan that formed the basis of the charge upon which I am now being threatened with removal." In concluding his appeal to General Hines, Mr. Jones declared that he had been guilty of no act warranting his removal and that if dismissal is being demanded as a matter of expediency because he and Dr. Ward could not work together and it would be easier to find someone to fill his place than Dr. Ward's, such an adjustment would not bear the sanction of the law of justice and meet the demands of fair play.

C., Mar. 10—A suit for an accounting, a receivership and substitution of trustees was filed last Thursday on behalf of the Knights of Pythians of the District of Columbia through Attorney J. Wilmer and George C. German against Lawrence E. Murray, on 2105 Twelfth street, northwest. Property Involved The suit involves the property at the corner of Twelfth and U streets, northwest, which is known as the Pythian Temple. The grand judge claims the ownership of this property, which, the plaintiff says, was purchased by it on January 8, 1917, for approximately $11,000, from John W. Lewis and William A. Dowie, trustees, under a deed of trust from Efric Middleton. At the time of the purchase, it is alleged, this property was conveyed to John S. Joneon, J. Clay Smith and Lawrence E. Murray is GUIDER BY WILLIAM The Antenna or Aerial The purpose of the antenna is to pick up the high pitched electrical waves that are sent from the transmitting station. There are several types. Today, for broadest reception, the loop or small indoor type and the single wire inverted L outside type are used. A long wire, naturally, will pick up more energy—and incidentally, more static than a short one. Normally, an aerial of 160 feet in length is suitable for the average tube or crystal set. Get the antenna as high as possible as height gives greater receiving range. Care should be exercised where there are nearby electrical wires. Never allow the antenna to cross a wire carrying current. As far as possible, lift the antenna run at a right angle to electrical and traction lines. Make good connections and isolate the supporting ends well. The Vacuum Tube It has been stated that the v-umum tube is the most sensitive detector of electrical impulses known to science. This little light, which buries during the operation of the set, through it surges the vital current that later is heard as audible sounds. Construction of the Tube The vacuum tube consists of three inside elements; namely, the filament, the grid, and the plate. These parts are well insulated from one another. The filament is the part that glows when connected to Nearly Ex like PEPPER trustees. Johnson died August 3, 1923, leaving Mr. Smith and Mr. Murray as co-trustees vested with the legal title. Three deeds of trust were executed to secure the balance of the purchase money for this property. The indebtedness secured by the third deed of trust has been fully paid. Approximately $2,000 has been paid on the principal and interest on the first trust, which is for $30,000. Approximately $1,500 has been paid on account of the principal and interest on the second trust, which is for $5,000. The balance of the principal is long past due. Allegations Against Murray Under the terms of the trust, it became the duty of the trustees to mortgage this property further by deed of trust at the request and direction of the grand lodge, the plaintiffs say. The grand lodge decided to borrow 87,500 recently for the purpose of paying off the overdue balance of the debt secured by the scepcd deed of trust, it is alleged, but after the loan had been arranged Mr. Murray perceptibly refused to comply with the directions of the grand lodge, although the securing of the loan had been authorized by a resolution adopted by the grand lodge at a special meeting January 16, 1926. Mr. Murray advised Grand Chancellor Bunny that "by reason of instructions in the premises from the Supreme Chancellor, Sir a battery. Semiconductor like a valve or shutter, in control the circuits which always is attached to the positive terminal of a battery. The Condenser The next important part of the tube set is the condenser. This instrument is made in a fixed type and a variable type. In the variable condenser, part of the aluminum or brass plates are movable in a rotary fashion thus messing in between the stationary ones. Capacity is the term given to the effect the condenser has in the radio circuit. When a tube set is known as inductors, with these two factors in a circuit in such a way that they may be varied, it becomes possible to make the receiving set respond to the different wave lenth frequencies. The condenser most heard of today is the S. L. F. or Straight Line Frequency type. Such a condenser is so constructed that the curve is shown as a straight line when used with pre-made uniform instruments and allows a uniform gradient separation of the different stations according to dial settings in degrees. The fixed condenser is made in a compact form. Two insulated surfaces of tinfoli or copper make up its form. Some sort of wax is used to make the condenser moisture proof, and, at the same time, act as an insulator.

Green, I beg leave to advise that I am unable to comply with the requests set forth in the aforementioned resolutions." Pursuant to another resolution passed at the special grand lodge meeting, Grand Chancellor Bundy, it is claimed, demanded the resignation of Mr. Murray as a co-tracer for his refusal to sign the death of trust. Mr. Murray has not yet perdoned his resignation. The plaintiffs ask the court to remove Mr. Murray as a trustee and substitute someone in his place Hotel were tw portraits of O.

The appointment of a receiver to take charge of, manage and control the property at Twelfth and U streets, north-west, pending the suit, is also askel. PAINTINGS BY RACE ARTIST EXHIBITED (By Associated Negro Press) (By Associated Press) New York, N. Y., Mar. 11.—From prominent among the displays in the exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists which opened on Thursday in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel were 2 portraits of O. Richard Reid, a colored member of the society. The portraits are of Fanny Hurst, Jewish short story writer and novelist, and of ester Walter and novelist, and of Lester Walton, contributor of the New York World. Mr. Reid worked his way through the Pennsylvania School of Fine Arts as a hotel waiter and porter. He is twenty-eight years old, and was born in Jacksville, Florida. Many competent persons have praised his work, including Padewski. He prefers a composition to portrait painting because of the opportunity is offered; for art and thought, but must do the latter now because it is more easily marketable.

PAUL ROBESON A RETURN OF TEN LAUDED AS MAN COMMANDMENTS AND AS ARTIST AT THE ATTUCKS Glowing tribute to the actor, singer, athlete and man, Paul Robertson is paid in a lengthy article in the "New Republic" (421 West 21st Street, New York) for March 3, written by the well-known essayist, Elizabeth Shepley Sorgent and entitled: "The Man With His Home In A Rock: Paul Robertson." "Paul Robinson is not merely an actor and a singer of Negro Spirituals, but a symbol," writes Miss Sergrant. "A sort of sublimation of what the Negro may be in the Golden Age hangs about him, and imparts to his appearances an atmosphere of affection and delight. It is seldom felt in an American audience." He is one, and clear cut, in the Greek or primitive senses. This sureness of initial being takes him across the concert stage, as it did the football field, with a fine, free movement of his strong athletic body, which is a reflection in action of an inward goal. He has never seen a Georgia road gang but when he sees Water Boy the very acerate, and spirit of the Negro laborers enter into him and come out to the stage of the most beautiful in all folk music. Yet I have never seen on the stage a more civilized, a more finished and accomplished artistic gesture than his nod to his accompanist, the signal to begin the song. This gesture is the final seal of Paul Robinson's personal care in the world. Even a Southerner would have difficulty in negating its quality and blowing its era or from the sidewalk." Miss Sergeant tells of Mr. Roberts' fine relationship with his majestic preacher father; of the boy's loading his classes in college and being elected to the honorary Phi Beta Kappa society as well as being called by Walter Camp, who named him twice in the All-American Football Team, "the greatest defensive and that ever grid the riddler." Miss Sergeant-at the conclusion of our essay "compares Paul Robertson with the great Russian artist and opera singer, Fodor Chapinpil, and writes: "Let us give thanks that we were not born too late to hear this Negro Chaliphin render the Spirituals neverently with wildness and awe, like a trusting child of God."

ALL STOVES AND RANGES SOLD ON "EASY PAYMENT PLAN" IF SO DESIRED----12 MONTHS TO PAY! RICALS STAGE A RETURN OF TEN COMMANDMENTS AT THE ATTUCKS What to say about "The Ten Commandments" is, indeed a task. It is more than a moving picture show, it is even more than the source of an evening's entertainment. It is a story of facts, presented in all the forcefulness of a master cinema producer. It is a modern tale evolved from Biblical history, cleverly, coherently and adroitly, by worked out to fit the Nineteenth Century. It is a story of having its beginnings in Egypt, the Egypt of the old, when that vast country existed in all of its glow, glamour and pompurey. There is little need of the entire theme of this story to be re old, giving away its plot to those who missed the opportunity to see Cecil B. C. Mille's masterpiece, and there is no need at all to tell it to those who saw it. So popular was this play with the bulk of the Attucks theatre patronage, that return engagement was requested and the picture will be shown again, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Instead of the Wednesday's 9 p.m., special being composed of comedy skits, the special on this program will be featured by the Sparkling Four quartette, which will render sacred selections. Other Shows Thursday and Friday, Marie Prevost and Monica Bluz co-stars in "Daughters of Pleasure," a story of love and the idle rich. Saturday's feature picture will be "No Man's Law," with Bob Custer playing the important part. It is a picture of the old frontier days, when the man that drew first was the man that lived longest. The Attacks has made another scoop in securing the Universal's biggest and best picture, "Phantom of the Opera," starring Lon Chaney and a co-op of other brilliant stars. ESSAY CONTEST AT ATTUCKS The Attacks Theatre essay contest is still under way and many contestants are in competition for the prizes offered. Tributes are still being paid the theatre and its brand of pictures, with the Paramount Corporation receiving special mention. This is the first feat of this kind undertaking to popularize the local playhouse. Its popularity has already been elevated to a great extent, but this contest is intended to so popularize the theatre, that it must always be first in the minds of the cinema entertainment seeker. "ORIOLI Guara Church Leaders Fight Segregation New York, Mar. 1- Strenuous efforts are now being made by the white heads of the International Sunday School Convention to be held in Birmingham, Ala., April 12-19. to pacify the colored representation which became incensed and threatened to withhold co-operative course of the segregate of delegates with which it was threatened. The A. M. E. Zion Church declared that its fifty delegates would not come and threatened to use its influence to see that no representatives came from the other five colored denominations because of the failure of the white leaders to issue an order against the segregation of Negro delegates and the preliminary provision that colored delegates were to be Jim-crowed in the gallery of the municipal auditorium in Birmingham. As a result of the protest and to prevent withdrawal of colored delegates, an earnest effort is being made, it is reported, by white officials to make acceptable a bet.

Church Leadership Move Toward EcoUpbuilding Of Thes Well As Spiritual. EDITOR'S NOTE—The ser- mon below was preached by M. C. Allen, pastor of the first Baptist Church, Frank- land Sunday night, February 28. The subject: "The Negro's Trust, Policy Un-Christian." The Rev, Mr. Allen is a young man of the advanced type of ministers that is gr gradually assuming the leadership of the Negro Church. He is a sacred and eloquent speaker, and thinks in terms of com- munity, race, human service as well as the church. The ser- mon is a powerful argument co-operation of the church with the general economic life of the race. I admit religion is a very present help in each, but it is essentially greater in influencing the altruistic spirit among men. It works the conclusion that God nor nature are no respectors of person but that brain, ability and character are the beses of true prosperity and in whomever found should be respected and normally encouraged.

The All-Wise Creator in His Distribution of business talent recognizes the Negro and for the Negro himself to flatly refuse to appreciate God's appreciation of the group, must meet his hot displeasure. It is a high Christian duty to give full recognition OF, opportunity FOR, and expression TO, the business and professional power our race group is endowed with. This is a situation the Negro Christian has reversed, and, it is highly unchristian. Negro religious philosophy in this respect and to which Negro religious leaders have catered to, to the detriment of the group, has too often gotten those DARING individuals of professional and business initiative into what is called in war 'a box barrage' which is a group of soldiers who have advanced beyond the safe range of their supporting artillery, a fatal position—for they become the prey of crushing steel from comrades and foe.

Mrs. Dawson, the white wife, denied that her child was a Negro, declaring her only indiscretions in a moral way had been with her husband prior to their marriage. The judge admitted that the baby looked like it was colored, but fined the husband for non-support.

PIONEER IN FINANCE Twenty years ago a Negro enterprise, the Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association was born in Norfolk, and ever since its incipiency, has meant much to the economic life of our people in Tidewater. No race can get very far unless its members are thrifty and are home builders. The building and loan association is a commercial enterprise that encourage a g's thrift through systematic saving and aids home-buying through its easy, repayment loan system. The Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association, owned and operated by Negroes was organized twenty years ago by Dr. L. H. Reynolds, now deceased, who also served as its first president for five years. Its present head, Mr. Samuel L. Tucker, a native Norfolkian of sterling business qualities, has filled the presidency with credit for the past fifteen years. Its one active, operating officer, who has been at the helm for the concern's birth to the present time is C. C. Dogan, the secretary. Mr. Dogan is well versed in corporation finance, a close student of human nature and a splendid executive. Upon organization, the association had assets of $150; today it is one of the largest Negro concerns of its kind in the country and the second largest in this state, with resources of over $152,000. Nature of Association The very basic nature of a building association requires that it be run for the 'mutual' benefit of its members. It is a service corporation rather than a business conducted for profit. It gives the working man and woman an opportunity to invest their earnings by making weekly or monthly payments, which carn for them more than 6%. In the course of time, these accumulated payments, with the dividends the association gives each six months amount to enough to allow the person to make a first payment on a home. Thus the working man is changed from a renter to a home owner through the building association. The Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association has loans amounting to over $100,000 on homes which are being paid for by persons who never before made an attempt at home ownership. Last year, twenty-five persons were helped through them, and during the twenty years of the association's existence, over 500 Negroes have been started on this most profitable road. In addition to this, the association is very helpful in assisting its shareholders to save money for other purposes, such as taxes, vacations, children's educational funds, and like things. The year of 1925 was a banner year in that respect. A total of $61,600 was paid during the year to persons who had carried their stock to maturity. Coming into 1926, with only two months spent, the association has paid out already $16,040 for maturing stock.

Address your inquiries to "Business Question Box," Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va. Q. I have a small business at present, which two of my friends are asking me to turn into partnership and admit them. Would you advise forming a partnership or corporation? A. The corporation is safer and more simple. In a partnership, you are held personally liable for any debt made in the firm's name by any member of the firm; while in a corporation, the liability of the stock[holders] is limited to the assets of the corporation. Quite a bit of red tape and inconvenience must be gone through, if one partner wishes to withdraw from the firm or in the case of death of one of the members; while in a corporation the transfer of stock in either of these events is a very simple matter. Q. What is a common carrier? A. A common carrier or public carrier, as it is sometimes called, is a company or concern whose regular business it is to carry goods from place to place for all persons who choose to employ and remunerate them, such as railroads, express, steamship and street car companies. Q. What is meant by the 'assets' of a firm, and please give me a simple method whereby on can read a bank statement understandingly. A. A firm's assets are all the property that the firm owns, whether money, real estate, fixtures, goods, etc. (b) Space in this column will not permit a full explanation of a bank statement.

SGME MISTAKEN IDEAS ABOUT B. AND L. ASS'NS. A good many of our people hold erroneous ideas about building and loan associations. Perhaps the most prevalent one is the belief that building associations will build homes for them. Likely this idea is arrived at on account the name 'building' association. But the word 'building' referred to in the name is that of building up saving account rather than building a home. Like unto the first impression is the one that after a man or woman makes a first payment upon a piece of property, the building association will buy' the home for the prospective purchaser. Wrong again. A building association will lend from 60 to 70% of the appraised value of a house and lot. If one owns a lot, and wishes to build a home on it, if he carries his building plans to a building association, he can find out in advance how much that association will lend on that particular loan and house, after it is completed. Fine System Another feature misunderstood by the public is the 'fine system.' When building associations were first organized in America, one of the rules was that each member should come to its meetings every week, else be subject to a fine. This regulation was made for two reasons: first, to help the member form the very valuable personal habits of punctuality and systematic saving; secondly, so the officers of the association could reasonably expect payments from members as promised on time. This system to a modified extent is still in vogue in a large number of associations, a small charge being imposed on members for not paying their dues promptly. Mistaken Impression A good many persons, also have the mistaken impression that building association charge extortionate Cor. Goff and Chieazola Sts. PHONE 21773 NORFOLK, VA. Eventually! Why Not Now?

Associations make what is called an 'amortized loan'—that is a loan in which the interest is stretched out over a period of years, payable weekly or monthly instead of semi-annually as in the ordinary mortgage loan. This leads one to think that he is paying an exorbitant interest, for instance, during the last one or two years payment on a loan, because it is the same amount which he stared out to pay on the full sum borrowed. That person fails to take in account the dividends the association pays him on the payments he is making monthly or weekly, which when applied to your account really reduces your interest to a rate of about 7%, sometimes 7½% throut- Taking all factors in consideration, there is no medium better and cheaper for the average working man and woman to save money or borrow money from for home buying than a building and loan association.

Mrs. Kate Dumings, daughter. X Rev. Harvey N. Johnson, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Lindendwood, Norfolk, under whose guidance the church has made marked and rapid progress spiritually and otherwise. Although Rev. Mr. Johnson's term of service at Mt. Olive has been comparatively short, there has been a remarkable increase in membership and tremendous improvement in organization and morale. The church has recently been completely remodeled and is now one of the most beautiful and uniquely arranged church edifices in this section of the State. The dedicatory services will begin this Sunday. shepherd of Mount Olive congregation two years ago, the church recently has undergone extensive remodelling, renovating a d enlargement at a cost of $10,000. Spacious Sunday school quarters have been added, the seating capacity of the main auditorium increased, and every department of the church reorganized and revived. Rev. Mr. Johnson also has added several new and active auxiliaries to his church, a large list of new members and Mt. Olive is now attracting visitors and new members from various sections of the church. The church, under its aggressive pastor, has taken keen care in keeping built at its own expense a foot bridge connecting Lindenwood with Washington Heights, thus adding greatly to the area from which it might attract visitors and members. The Rev. Harvey N. Johnson is a native of Richmond. He cane to this city a few years ago as an architect, and engaged most successfully in his profession. Some of the most pretentious buildings in Tidewater were designed by him. Some two or three years ago, he was ordained in the ministry and was later called to the pastorate of Mt. Olive, his first charge. The membership immediately became impressed with his sincerity, and has loyally supported his every project. He has ministered in both point of age and pupil service in this section, he is regarded as a preacher of profound thought and his sermons have been widely commented on by the local public for their practical appeal as well as scholarly arrangement. Mt. Olive, though not the largest church in the city, is now modern in every respect. It is located in one of the most substantial sections of the city, surrounded by a class of citizens who are taxpayers and who possess creditable community spirit. It is felt by those who have observed the growth of this congregation and the material progress of the church in recent years that it promises to become one of the city's leading churches in a brief time. The following program will be observed during the three weeks conferences: Sunday, March 14, the pastor will preach at the morning services. Rev. F. W. Williams will preach the dedicatorial sermon at 3:30 o'clock. B. Y. P. U. at 6 o'clock and holy communion at night. Monday, March 15, the pastor, Rev. S. L.

"My Estate After I Am Dead," will be the subject of another special sermon at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night. The Rev. Richard H. Bowling, the pastor, will again read a section from his recently written will. He says he believes people ought to be formed as so their body, such matters than their mind in other things more frequently spoken of from the pulpit. The service will begin promptly at 7:30. A great crowd heard the pastor's sermon last Sunday night on his desires as expressed in his will about his funeral. Said he, "To eliminate any semblance of display or outside show, I desire that there be no banners or flags, no lodge paraphanalia, no band, no long line of cars in procession to or from the church, and no carrying of flowers by flower-bearers male or female. I desire further, that with the exception of a few prays given by my immediate relatives and placed on my casket, all flowers shall be carried to the church and arranged there by the undertaker and his assistants before time of the funeral. Following the service at the church, the undertaker will leave the flowers untouched until after the family has left the church. Then, he will have them moved by his assistants and taken to the cemetery in the proper conveyance. Not On' Sunday "I desire that my funeral be held under no circumstances on Sunday, as I do not want to have my funeral interment with God's day of rest for undertakers and their assistants, cemetery keepers and their assistants, florists and their assistants, and the driver of funeral cars; or add to the necessary duties of the day on the part of ministers, organists, and sextons; or to detract from or interfere with the regular services of the day for the worship of God. "I desire that the service be a brief one consuming less than an hour, as I do not want to have my surviving relatives subjected to the possible physical discomfort of a lengthy funeral or to the possible mental anguish occasioned by some of the accompaniments of a lengthy funeral. It naturally follows, therefore, that I want to sary accommodation of a lengthy funeral, limited, viz.; solos, reading of obituaries, eulogistic remarks and speeches by representatives of the various interests and organizations with which I may be identified, ceremonies by the lodges or fraternities to which I may belong, and viewing 'the remains.' Brief Religious Rites "I desire some such simple outline as follows: processional, scripture read by the officiating clergyman. A hymn. Scripture reading. A prayer. A hymn. A sermon. say not more than twenty-five minutes long. A hymn. The recessional sung by the choir. I desire that some one minister shall be the officiating clergyman, announcing the hymn numbers, designating the minister to read the scripture and the minister to lead the congregation in prayer, and he himself presides over the circumstances shall the officiating clergyman be expected or feel free to vary from the program I have detailed above. "Under no circumstances do I want my casket opened after leaving the house. My family will look upon my body there for the last time. Prior to the day of the funeral friends interested enough to do so may come to the house to look upon my body. desire that the congregation will remember their sentiments the timing of the recessional by the choir and until the mourners have entered the cars and the funeral procession about to leave the church." Musical For Charity Proved Delightful Affair That it is possible to produce a musical program that entertains and pleases in the city of Norfolk without any taint of jazz, w a s fully demonstrated at the First United Presbyterian Church on the evening of February 26th. It happened this way. The Exchange Auxiliary Society of the Colored United Charities, and the former Norfolk Mission Collegiate Association, a social program for the purpose of securing money to make some renovations in Memorial Hall. The Quartette contracted with for the service failed to meet its engagement. The resourceful president of the Alumni Association, Mrs. Ida Bagnall, saw Mr. Lawrence Harrison, the sweet singer of Norfolk, who agreed to arrange the musical program and secure the personnel. At the appointed time a very fine audience gathered. Mr. Harrison offered this program of which the personnel was as follows: Mr. Chas. Holland, Mr. Joynes, Dr. Jones and Mr. Harrison. The numbers were solos, duets, quartets and instrumental selections of classical and semiclassical character. Not one note of jazz was sounded. Every rendition was a credit to the artists, who were time and again called back. Mr. Holland, who was the favorite of the evening has a most pleasing voice. Mr. Joynes did excellent work and was well received. Mr. Harrison played many parts during the evening, beside presiding with skill at the piano. The DRY SLAB WOOD—Bright and Sound, $3.00 quar cord PINE BLOCK WOOD—Solid and Dry, $4.00 quar cord OAK BLOCK WOOD—Long Lasting, $4.00 quar cord hour was one of inspiration. We were thankful that we went. Memories went back to college days. It is a pleasure to hear real good music in awhile in these degenerate days of Jazz. The mid-winter Communion services at the First United Presbyterian Church Sunday, February 28 were well attended, intensely impressive, uplifting and instructive. The pastor, Rev. D. F. White, delivered the sacramental address and officiated at the table. Elders H. A. Robinson, Nathaniel Thomas, R. E. Atkins and Laban Reid distributed the elements. The choir rendered an unusual program. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Services at the First Baptist Church last Sunday were inspiring. The early sunrise prayer meeting was greatly enjoyed by those in attendance. Quite a number was present at 11:30 in the morning to hear Rev. R. H. Bowling, preach on the subject: "Jesus in the Sight of God." Text. John 14:19. A splendid sermon and we were greatly blessed with the addition of one soul at the close of this sermon. At 7:30 p. m., quite a crowd turned out to hear the pastor preach on "Arrangements for my Funeral" or "Coming Changes in Burial Customs". This, text Hebrews 11:22. This was a carefully thought out, timely care of unusual interest and full of serious thought and advice which should be heeded by our people in reference to funeral arrangements and by those attending the Sunday school opened at the usual hour and the work is moving on with great success. B. B. Y. P. U. meetings were well attended and full of interest. MONUMENTAL A. M. E. ZION CHUCH At the morning hour, the pastor Rev. A. C. Clark preached from the text; Luke 24:29, using for his subject; "Abide With Me." This sermon was made impressive by the practical application, given. Hearers were made to feel the assurance of Jesus' presence whenever longed for in truth and with faith. At 2:30, the funeral of Miss Mildred Land, for many years a faithful and unselfish worker of this branch was held. The Holy Eucharist was administered at the evening service. The story of Jesus' suffering and death was presented through stercopion views. At the close of this service three accessions were made Many visitors and friends were here throughout the day. ANTIOCH BAPSTIST CHURCH The Antioch Baptist Church services began with early prayer meeting Sunday morning. The Sunday school opened in due time and the lesson was taught by the pastor. At 11:30 the pastor preached from Heb. 11:16, "The Christian Desires Heaven." The sermon was delivered with power. Deacons Randolph and Blackwell visited two of the missionary ladies who are sick. They are Mesdames Brown and the latter being ill. The Missionary Circle closed its campaign with much success and was able to present the pastor a small purse. At night the pastor spoke from text St. John 12:24. subject: "Fruit Comes After Death." MT. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Services on last Sunday were fine, beginning with early morning prayer meeting. The Sunday school went over the top in every way, the Adult Class holding the banner. At 11:30 the pastor delivered a masterly sermon from 15:58. The B. Y. P. U. met at the regular hour and rendered an enjoyable program. Covenant meeting was held at night, and the day was dominated to a very large number. Next Sunday morning the pastor will preach on the subject: "The Lord's Side." At 3 o'clock, Rev. Dean and his congregation will preach the annual sermon of a fraternal organization. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Sunday school was well attended. the pastor, who is teacher of No. 5 class was absent on account of illness, and his presence was greatly missed. The school is looking forward to its Easter program. The remaining services throughout the day are held on Friday. Particip will be this church Sunday, Mar. 14, to be conducted by Rev. Alex Hudgins, of Newport News. The public is cordially invited to attend the services. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday school lesson was very interestingly gone over here last Sunday, after the teachers and scholars had assembled on time. The pastor preached at 11 o'clock services from the subject, "God, the Guide of His People." Psalms 48:14. He beautifully illustrated this sermon, showing how God guides His people and especially those who desire to follow. B. Y. P. U, convened at 6 o'clock, and the topic or the day was interestingly discussed. The sermon for the evening was preached from the subject: "Precious Trials," Job 23: 10. Many illustrations were given showing what trials the followers of Jesus are called on to face before reaching the Kingdom of Heaven. Coal Phone 24683 "WHY GOD MADE MAN", LECTURE AT ST. JOHN'S Rev. Dr. Stewart, Noted Pastor of Great Metropolitan Church, Washington, Comes To St. John's Sunday. Rev. Dr. Charles E. Stewart, noted preacher and lecturer of Washington, D. C., will leture Sunday, March 14, at St. John A. M. E. Church, at 8:15 cclock on, "Why God Made Man," pieces of Science of the Brotherhood on Station of the annual Men's Day observance. Dr. Stewart is pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, of Washington, one of the largest and most influential churches in the A. M. E. connection. He is a pulpiter of considerable note, a speaker of eloquence and power. He is not a total stranger to the people of Norfolk as he visited St. John church last year and made a lasting impression. Besides being a great preacher, Dr. Stewart has the gift of song. All over this country his classic and gospel singing has stirred the hearts of his hearers. For several years he was instructor of instrumental music at A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. C., at which time he attracted much attention by his skill in playing the piano and pipe organ. Being stationed at Washington, the nation's capital, and at the same time pastoring one of the leading churches of the connection, has given him a wide experience. Those who hear him will doubtless receive a great message. It was with strenuous efforts that the Brotherhood was successful in bringing Dr. Stewart here. The public is invited, and those who have no cards of admission are asked to come early as arrangements have been made to seat every body without a rush. A. M. E. Bishops Visit Grave of B. T. Washington 4. (By Associated Negro Press.)—Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March A party of 42 bishops, ministers and general officers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church placed a wreath upon the grave of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute, here. Saturday afternoon, as a tribute to the memory of the dead leader and an express request for him. In touching and fitting terms, Bishop John A. Johnson of Philadelphia, Pa., eugolized Mr. Washington. Members of the party addressed the student body in the Institute Chapel and urged them to grasp and use the opportunities afforded them. Bishop W. H. Heard of Philadelphia ranked Richard Allen, founder of the A. M. E. Church, and Mr. Washington together, "They will live on," he said, "because they made men and women. They will never die. Both have left legacies. I have inherited Allen's and you, Washington's." John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the church, similarly attested his regard for Mr. Washington, "General Armstrong," he declared, "first interested me in Booker T. Washington. Since that time I have followed in his path. During my association with him I always found him willing to help others in the cause of racial progress." Others who spoke included Bishops L. N. Ross and A. L. Ross and Reverends R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder and M. L. Sydes. Musical selections were rendered by Reverends C. H. Wesley, M. H. Stewart and the Institute chair.

BOWLING, Pastor SERVICES 11:30 & 7:30 Phone 25626 Established 1892 Penn. Anthracite Coal, all sizes, $17.50 Ton—50c Discount for Cash B. & L. Pioneer (Continued from Page 7) best available sources of securing money for purchasing homes are closed in the face of Negroes, because they are Negroes. Another disadvantage that handicaps the would-be Negro home buyer is the fact that, all other things being equal a Negro cannot borrow as much money on a piece of property as individuals of other races. These conditions result in the Negro raising a larger amount of money as first payment, or continue to rent. The surest way to overcome such handicaps is to point all the money on own institutions, so we will have at our command, funds of our own for financing Negro home-buyers. In this respect, it is gratifying to note that the people of Norfolk are beginning to understand and to respond in a larger measure to the service given by this association. 87 new members have taken stock since the first of this year and have subscribed a total of $47,400, which is being paid in weekly installments. Persons who take building and loan stock learn that it takes time to accomplish anything worth while, and that there is no short cut to success. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Bishop L. W. Kyles delivered two able and scholarly sermons at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday. His morning subject was, "A Call to Service," selected from this passage of scripture: "As we have, therefore, opportunity let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." The Bishop said that goodness is the essence of Christianity, and that is shown not so much by the failure to do evil as by doing good. "Goodness," said he, "must be active. Christians must seek opportunities to do good." He also said that a Christian's goodness should transcend all lines of differences, such as race, color or denomination. "Too often," declared the Bishop, "do persons withhold acts of goodness, and do not share their own race or creed. The Christian religion demands that all men be regarded as brothers." All of the services were well attended. On Tuesday night the Metropolitan and Garrett Temple choirs engaged in a contest, with the former winning, and their pastor receiving an award of $5.00 in gold. The Varick Christian Endeavor Society and Sunday school choirs held a mock marriage contest Monday night, Mar. 1. The Sunday school group was awarded the prize.

"JOCK" WATKINS withthu, thu fair, lovely queen of the night! With majestic thou art in thy Heavenly flight. With thy tender, silvery face reflected in the sea. And millions of dancing stars to keep you company. Stand in my doorway, heart-sick and alone. Loving you perched gracefully upon your throon— Making not for your loveliness or nu- joy. With the millions of dancing stars that knew you company: Long not for jewels, silver or gold. Not for just the twinkling Star—a human soul. Whose radiant life would illumine for me With my darkest presence of love misery. Oh, my darkened life of lonesome misery. When I'm In Life BY LEOLONA DANGERFIELD Let me lit with the darting shadows Neath some giant, friendly oak. Let me listen to the sparrows. Is my frail old birch bark boat— Then I'm in life. Let me tinker all the day. Or snell the new mown hay. Let me linger near the place. That's seen pout's smiling face— Then I'm in life. Let me litter in the dells' Or round some mossy wells. Or bunt some robin's neat. From morn till red'ning west— Then I'm in life. Let me sit near some old folk. And list to words that're spoke. Let me trace with eager hand. Figures in the sand— Then homeward bound at eve, While stars keep through the lea. With rephras fanning cheek. Hear the patterning rabbit's feet — Then I'm in life. Powell Paints Lurid Picture of Depravity Of White Virginians (Continued from Page One) St. White Families, Colored 64 White Families Colored It is safe to say that no Negro sociologist could have such findings published in a white newspaper, and I can account for the publication of them after hot protest only on the ground that agitation for "their integrity" has brought a circulation to the papers equaled only by war time; one paper that carried the heads 64 ARISTOCRATIC VIRGINIA FAMILIES COLORED, sold like hot cakes. Not less than twenty thousand of the leading families have been found to be colored. Persons who have never been South can have no idea what a tremendous social and economic loss it would mean to these families if forced across the line. For instance, at the time of writing Negroes are barred from an art exhibit. A special day had been set apart for them. The Last Stand There are twelve articles in all covering the ten Congressional districts. They deal only with Virginia, but are typical of the South, particularly states like South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi, and furnish such splendid proof that race purity is a myth that it is a pity they couldn't be published entire, I shall endeavor to give a digest of them, however. They bear the significant title: "The Last Stand." It will be noticed from time to time, that Powell makes desperate apologies as if he fears he were lifting the veil a little too much. After a brief review of the attempt alleged to have been made by Virginia to bar Negro slavery, the African Colonization movements, the ousting of the carpet-bagger, and the re-establishment of white supremacy, the writer goes on: "But this battle had been fought and won in the political field. The most immediate, the most pressing dangers had been political. The more remote, but graver threat was forgotten or ignored. In reestablishing and confirming white supremacy our people lost sight of and neglected racial integrity. The necessity for rebuilding prosperity from devastation absorbed attention. Slavery, which had furthered the mongrelization of the Negro race, had effectively protected the whites from blood admixture. Under the new order the protection no longer existed. Near-white mix-breeds, no longer the property of masters, could attain positions of relative independence, and remove freely to localities where their racial antecedents animate and transform their necgregational lives were defective; while loudly proclaiming the axiom that one drop of Negro blood makes the Negro, the whites defined a Negro by statute as an individual possessing one-fourth or more African blood, later as an individual with one-eighth or more African blood, and still later with one-sixteenth or more. Under these defective laws many mix-breeds actually went into court, had themselves declared legal white, and married white persons. Large numbers of decendants have resulted from such unions. Instances of Race-Mixing "Case No. 1. Accomac County. (On die in the State Records.) (On file in the State Records.) "A white woman of Accoma county married an immigrant from one of the Southern States, whose antecedents were unknown to her. Doubt has hung around her. The institutions in which discovered that his birthrecord in his native State showed him to be a Negro. Two grandchildren of this union have written to the Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics asking for evidence to prove that they are white. One wrote from Northampton county, the other from a Northern State. This ease in finding which mixed blood can become dispersed over wide geographical areas. Many similar instances are reported by the clerks of various county courts. "Case No. 2. Essex county. (Birth record in county files.) A young mix-breed of pleasing manner and appearance came from Essex County to enter business in a city in another district. He met and eventually married into a wealthy family . . . recently, friends of the young wife learnt that her husband was entered in the Essex records as a Negro . . " Indian Chief Proves to be Negro Cases 3 and 4 deal with a child, Negro, and Indian who passed for white, and with a Negro from Caroline, Va., who married "a white woman of good family," respectively. Case No. 5, also on file, denials with a group of Indians who had been marrying with whites, "claiming a semi-miraculous origin from two pure-blooded Indian maid- girls," in a book in English, who married one of them . . . records prove the presence of Negro blood in this group. . . . the marriage record of the grandparents of one of the chiefs bears on it the anom- aion: "free Negro." Case No. 6 Of Case No. 6 "on file in the State records", the writer says: "This case is important in that it shows not only the actual process of amalgamation but exhibits the most appalling instance of the delay of decency and race prejudice which constitutes the payoff basis of the law. It is inexpressibly humiliating to bring such an affair to notice but to gain a true concept of conditions as they exist, it is necessary to look facts in the face. Only then can we cope with the situation. The facts will be presented with as much reticence as possible." This case is that of a white woman who left her husband and returned to him two years later with a mulatto child. He took her back. "Other children were born to her, some white, some colored, her husband apparently making no protest. . . The complaisance of the white father is perhaps the most revolting feature of the story." Mixed Offspring Powell gives many instances of apparently white couples bearing black children. It seems that the above story can explain all. Writer continues: "Materials similar to these six cases could be reduced from practically every county of the First District. In the files of the Bureau of Vital Statistics alone, are instances from this county, and this, notwithstanding that the bureau has only been working intensively in this field since June, 1924, and has no means at its disposal wherewith to undertake investigations on its own initiative. Verily, it seems as if the stable locked after the horse has escaped. Indians Proven Negroes The cases in the Second and Third Districts deal with groups of Negro-hating Indians of Negro and white ancestry who went through a "fry-fish ceremony" to prove they were Indians. "The fish were fried and eaten. Sacramental and transmutative fish. Before eating, Negroes were forbidden to eat." Other cases are that of a "light" Negro, who married a white girl; of a group of mixed Indian, white, and Negro, "families" of which "have removed to Norfolk and Portsmouth and inter-married with white people"; of a family, which registered its eight children as now white, now colored, "whale born" in 1924, is recorded with a question mark; of two white sisters who married a Negro and a Chinaman. Marries Into Prominent White Family Among those in the Fourth District are those of a Negro, who "moved over into Chesterfield and married into a white family of prominence in this county, where he and his wife are now living;" of a woman who was married "into a prominent family. After her children were grown, it was discovered by chance that she was recorded in her native State as a Negro; of a white woman, who had "one white and two colored "children; of "well-dressed, well-mannered and evidently prosperous woman" who came "to establish her claims to aristocratic decent" and "discovered she was descended from Negroes;" of a "wealthy farmer," married "to a woman of women men and few years ago," lost his friends few years ago. T he neighbors came to the funeral. There appeared also Negroes claiming to he his brothers and sisters. They were apparently received as such. "The farmer explained by saying: "These Negroes are illegitimate children born to my mother, after my father's death." "It is impossible," adds Powell, "to conceive anything more appal- luring than this, or more indica- tion than the inaccessible condition of the color line." Negro Girl Reared in Luxury The Fifth District tells among other cases of a group which has been marrying among its white neighbors, claiming that its members are "Cuban Indians" although the u. U. S. Ethnological Bureau states that they are mixed white Indian with a considerable infusion of Negro;" of of "mixed breed children of a white mother who were entered in the high school of seventeen girls in Negro county who live in illicit relations in Hallifax county, their offspring going to other parts and "massing;" and of "a member of a wealthy family which even the War of Secession could not impoverish, who remained as a bachelor living at his county seat. His Negro housekeeper bore him a daughter, around whom centered all his affection and pattern. The girl girl received the best money could buy, and was married to a Negro. The wedding cake was baked by her father's white sister-in-law." In this same district the following remarkable case is noted as follows: "An Appalling Situation" "Case No. IX. X county (reported to the Bureau of Vital Statistics.) "The facts now to be presented set forth the most ghastly and appalling conditions existent within the State. To spare the sensibilities of the white inhabitants, it is deemed best not to disclose the name of the county. A judge e from another district was recently holding court in Xinjiang, where the man who was party in one of the cases was pointed out to the judge. She was obviously negroid. When the court adjourned the judge asked the clerk of the court for an explanation of this situation. The clerk replied that the man was white and that the wife was negroid. The judge asked if the clerk had issued the license for the marriage. The clerk replied in the affirmative explaining that the man had, through undoubtedly negroid, had been passing for white for several generations, and was of sufficient influence to make refusal to grant the license out of the question. He added that this case was BRITISHER SEES FAILURE OF RACE OVERLORDS IDEA --- Declares Any Effort To Maintain Domination Over Colored Races Of World By Force Doomed To Fail. New York, March 3—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, has received from England clippings of an article published in English newspapers by the Right Honorable Philip Phillip, member of Parliament, challenging world domination of white people whom he asserted that the idea of white supremacy is having to be abandoned. He writes in part: "The old idea of the right of a people with a higher civilization and with a more advanced economic development to dominate the rest of the world will have to be frankly abandoned. The nation of abandoned, abandoned, constitution of nations of Nations is an outstanding instance, of that fact. not unique in X county but was typical of a wide-spread condition. The judge took the first opportunity to visit the Bureau of Vital Statistics and report the matter. On arriving at the office he found by strange co-incidence, a minister of the Gospel from X. county, who had come to report what he knew of the conditions there. At first he had been reticent as to names and places but encouraged by the judge, he finally became more communicative and gave the names of several men whom he thought would be frank and courageous enough to give specific information. The State Registrar wrote these men; only one dared reply. He sent in several pages filled with such information as the following: Richard Doe, mixed; wife, white The Z family, mixed pass for ARROWS Articles under this caption are syndicated by the Literary-Commercial Bureau, 1038 Eoff Street, Wheeling, West Virginia.

Parental Example Literary Vipers A man found a viper on the shelf among his books; the reptile bit him; blood poison set in and he died. People condemned him for carelessness in allowing such a dangerous thing on the shelves of the library; and perhaps the condemnation was just. On the shelves of book-stores and newsstands are many vipers. They are literary vipers which poison the life-blood—men t a l and moral life-blood of thousands of people. These viperes are found on the book-shelves and in the music cabinets of many homes, to the detriment of the young people growing up, there. "True Story," "True Romance," "Love Story," and other racy magazines contain some of the worst, most virulent literary vipers. Such vile books as Elinor Glynn's "Three Weeks," and others which plainly are suggestive of immorality, which excite curiosity and incite to sex laxness, are mental and moral vipers and among the most dangerous and most poisonous. These moral vipers are responsible for much of the moral decadence of today, and crime and flaunting Bohemianism are largely traceable to this source. Parents cannot escape responsibility for the prevalence of these conditions, for while they cannot control the book-shelves of other places, they can clean house and destroy these vipers on their own book-shelves. The Negro Girl The Negro girl often is neglected and discouraged. She has little of real help in her efforts to be and to do. She is neglected even by her own parents and relatives. In regard to work, the Negro girl must take what the white girl does not want, or what is most irksome, hazardous or difficult. For economic reasons she is often compelled to live amid unwholesome and dangerous surroundings. Despite all of these serious handicaps, this unfortunate girl is severely censured for her short comings; but she is entitled to the most sincere sympathy, instead. Say what you will concerning this most neglected and much abused Negro girl; prate of her weakness, unmercifully condemn her faults, scorn her if you will, curse her, trample her in the dust, if you are uncharitable enough to do so; but when the unbiased record shall be made it will be that, considering her Regardless of color, race and size, nations are admitted to the League on terms of equality. "If it were sought to maintain the domination of the white races over the colored by force the effort would be bound to fail in the long run. It is just a question of numbers. It is, for instance, seldom realized that six out of every seven people in the British Empire, are colored.* * * * "If the principle of 'numbers' or 'counting heads' is accepted as the form of government, then there is no escaping from the fact, unpalatable as it may be to the white races, that in international government the future of the world rests with the colored races." Need Be No Violence Mr. Snowden asserts that the outcome of the readjustment depends on the attitude taken by the white races, that there need not against the colored, if due respect is given to the aspirations and opportunities of all peoples. "This grave problem," concludes Mr. Snowden, "with its possible menace, will be solved if it be recognized that all men are equal," and that, just as Lincoln said that no man was ever good enough to govern another without his consent, so no race has the right to condemn another race to a position of permanent inferiority." white and have married with whites, etc. etc. "The pure whites of this county are afraid openly to expose the situation or to take any steps to control it, so numerous and influential are the mix-breeds, and so widely connected by marriage. A member of the House of Delegates and a State Senator were recently discussing the situation in this county. I estimate that at least one third of the white population of X county are more or less negroid. The senator replies: 'You put it too low. I should say at least one-half.' The other districts with perhaps even more striking cases will be given next week, as well as the types of 64 aristocrats said to be colored, among which it is claimed, are two presidents of the United States. handicaps and disadvantages, her temptations and hindrances, the Negro girl is "more sinned against than sinning." Are They Hypocrites? Many professing Christians swear every time they get angry. Some tell lies and make confusion without any prickings of conscience; others are dishonest in their dealings, taking what does not belong to them and otherwise breaking the "Golden Rule." Drinking of strong drinks is common among many Christian professors. Now, the question is "Are those people hypocrites?" Do they understand the nature of their conduct and act wilfully, on are they in error? If they are in error then they are not hypocrites. Negroes in general have had little teaching of practical Christianity, therefore their understanding of its truth is vague, but it is hardly believable that they could be so ignorant of the principles of their religion to excuse them when they practice these things which they know are so manifestly inconsistent. If they are ignorant, they are to be pitied and taught; if they act knowingly and wilfully, they risk their own souls—and they are hynocrites. Parental Example Parents may teach by precept. The process may be "Line upon line, precept upon precept." But experience demonstrates that one ounce of example will outweigh ten tons of precepts. A young woman's dispairing wail was, "I cannot do right; the wrong was born in me; my mother was bad before me." Another girl declared, "I tried to go straight, and I was doing fairly well until I overtook my own mother doing a wfully wrong. After I discovered what she did I gave little heed to what she said to me about doing right, for I knew she could not afford to be hard on me." A boy remarked, "Dad is after me about smoking cigarettes, and he has threatened to thrash me if I smoke them." He added, "But I know he is joking, for he would not have the heart to punish me when I see him smoking them." If parents have taught their children properly and have set the proper example before them, this will be their consolation if things go wrong. But terrible is the condemnation when parents realize that the mistakes of their children are due to the influence of their own bad example. Perhaps the keenest suffering will come from the actions of their children when they point and tell them, "You failed to set the proper example before me." Seven Bullet Wounds And NOT A Broken Bone Durham, N. C.—To sustain seven bullet wounds and not a broken bone was both the fortunate and un- fortunate experience of Lillie Kirby, middle-aged, of this city, recently, who claims she was shot by James Leathers before she had gotten out of bed. He had been to her home the day before and blacked both of her eyes, she told officers investigating the shooting. Her condition is not considered serious, three of the bullets taking effect in one leg, four in the other, all passing through the fleshy parts.

The portion of the tooth restored is usually shaped from a wax impression, and some of the defects result from improper adaptation of the wax to the cavity, distortion of the wax during or after removal from the cavity, and air and other material in the mould made from the wax pattern.

Mr. Russell had been invited to speak at the testimonial dinner. He represented H. I. Thomas, president of Washington N. A. A. C. P., together with Clyde C. M. Duffee and Capt. Alc田 A. all of Dunbar high school, and they were able to give him such particulars as to Col. Sherill's activities that Mr. Russell says in part: "Colonel Sherrell, by his deliberate course, of contemptuous injustices toward the colored people of this city, took himself out of the category of public servants that merit any applause from their fellowmen. Legally, constitutionally, and from every viewpoint of social welfare, the colored people are entitled to every right and privilege in the Colonel Sherrell's defence of this fundamental truth was so diagnotic and therefore so injurious to the best interests of the community that I think the Washington Chamber of Commerce might be better engaged than in showing him honor.

Watson-Parker Labor Bill Passed (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D.C., Mar. 10—The Watson-Parker railroad labor bill, abolishing the railroad labor board, and providing for the settlement of all labor disputes by direct conference between railroads and their employees, and mediation and voluntary arbitration of disputes, was passed Monday by the House by a vote of 281 to 13. R. I. Mays, president of the Railway Men's international, led, it appears, an unsuccessful fight to have a amendment added to the measure which would have protected the interests of the 195,000 colored railroad workers. Senator Watson of Indiana, one of the authors of the bill, refused to accept the Mays' amendment, but Congressman Madden of Illinois yielded his support. The amendment read that "all rules" rates, wages, and working conditions of employees on common carriers shall be construed and applied alike to all employees of the craft without regard to creed or color or whether they are members of the organization negotiating the contract." Mays does not believe that Negroes, not being members of the Brotherhoods, will get an even break. But, Karl Phillips, commissioner of conciliation in the department of labor writes: "In the slang vernacular, it's up to the 135,000 railroad brethren to make 'em know it, under the Watson-Parker bill. And the first step is to perfect the unit idea, together with shop councils, committees, and other group formations. The porters who are now doing brakeman's work can receive brakeman's pay; and perhaps the race can develop some more telegraph operations, engineers and other craftsmans of notable qualifications, position, and pay." TELLS OF NEED FOR RELIEF WORK TELLS OF NEED FOR RELIEF WORK State Chairman, Moe Levy, of the United Jewish Campaign for European relief has forwarded to J. B. Hicht, local chairman, a copy of the resolution setting forth the necessity for the $15,000,000 "Over-seas Crest" of which amount Virginia has voted to raise $200,000 in three years. An appeal to the Jews of America has been issued by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, in which it was declared that for the first time in its history it is absolutely without funds to meet the numerous heart-rending appeals which it has received during the past months from Europe, and especially from Poland and Bessarabia, for help from scores of Jewish communities where hundreds of Jews have been overwhelmed by economic disaster. The appeals indicate that the situation of the Jewish population in Bessarabia, other East European countries is worse than it was at any time during the World War, and East hundreds of thousands are succumbing to the ravages of hunger and disease. The whole structure of Jewish life is said to be breaking down in Europe. The statement of the Joint Distribution Committee which was issued after an emergency meeting of its executive committee to consider the new emergence in European Jewish Life and the depletion of the Joint Distribution Committee's treasury is signed by the entire membership of the body, member of M. Wurburg, chairman; Herbert H. Lohman and James N.

Pledges Must Be Met Dr. Balloch, in an interview today showed that these pledges must be met or the most serious consequences would result. "The General Education Education offer to pay dollar for dollar into the Medical Endowment fund to $250,000 as other pledges made to it are paid, was based upon the necessity of turning out doctors, dentists and drugstores capable of ministering to the needs of the race," he said. If Howard leaves the job, he will continue, "as it will if it does have a half-million endowment, it will mean an almost complete page of the medical and dental tendants for the race, for graduates of Class B college, can obtain a license to practice in most states." "It isn't a question of Howard he added, "nor of this policy or the but whether—for one example, our daughters are going to our proper attention when our great children are born."

C.—The National Committee which will be in charge of the Howard University Medical Endowment Conclusion Campaign has been formed, according to an announcement made today by Dr. Edward A. Balloch, of this city, Dean of the Medical School and chairman of the campaign.

March "Century Magazine" Commends "The New Nero" Commends "The New Negro" Carl Van Doren, literary editor of the Century Magazine, contributes a long review of "The New Negro" edited by Alian Locke, to the March number. In his review Mr. Van Doren says: "If any evidence is needed, the column is evidence that the new Negro is a civilized and accomplished being, who not only has given to the nation its most joyous dances, which may have a barbarian in them, and its most characteristic music, which may be only a folk-art, but who has learned how to write heid, cogent and charming prose, which is one of the unmistakable signs of an advanced civilization. Mr. Van Doren declares that "something has been uttered to enlarge the imaginative sympathy between the races which is an absolute essential of any decent solution of the color problem in America."

TEACHERS The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools has had some criticism to face from the face that it has not always been able to meet its obligations as to the regular publication of the bulletin which is the official organ of the Association and the only national organ of Negro teachers. No profession needs a voice more than the teaching profession and no group of teachers needs an active, unaffraid, spokusman more than the group of Negro teachers in the several Southern states. Every Negro teacher in North Carolina subscribes a bulletin for the opportunity of reading it and for the greater opportunity of insuring its strong, active, fearless support of the interests of the profession of teaching among Negroes. The nearly 3,000 teachers who have shown their loyalty to the N. C. Teachers Association by joining should also join the National Association thru the Executive Secretary, Mr. C. J. Calloway at Tuskegee, Ala. Both membership and subscription to the bulletin can be secured for one dollar by all members of the State Association, otherwise the cost is one dollar and a half. Recently the business men of Mississippi subscribed and sent to the Secretary of the National Association one hundred and twenty-six dollars to show what business men thought of education. What do the teachers think of it? ton last week to see, Mrs. Johnnie Brown, who is on the sisk list. Mr. W. T. Jones, of Cofield, N.

Griswold Webb is reported to have announced that he intends shortly to introduce into the legislature a bill designed to prevent the marriages of whites and colored persons. The ambivalent senator's contemplated measure would make such marriages felonies. Of course, the action is inspired by the case of Leonard Kip Rhinelander and Alice Jones and probably the more recent marriage of Sarah Ziegler, the 16-year aged daughter of a wealthy manufacturer, to Chiles Edgar Smith, one of the employees in the brickyard. The good senator beives that the morality attends upon such agitation will serve him whether he has any success with his bill or not. A New Way to End DangerousCough The most stubborn cough is relieved with the first dose, and is very often broken up entirely in 24 hours by a 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 for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The cough has a double effect. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but also loses and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the direct cause of the cough. So with the cause removed, the severe cough usually disappears quickly. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children, too—no harmful drugs. Very economical as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good drugstores. Ask for DR.

C., Feb. 28—The monthly program of the Young Women's Christian Association was especially interesting this month. Through the kind interest and influence of Mrs. Minnie S. Pearson, teacher of elocution here, and noted civic and social hygiene worker, we were favored with a very interesting and helpful talk by Miss Goldie Harris of Columbus, Ohio, who is now Secretary of the Durham, North Carolina Y. W. C. A. Among other things Miss Harris spoke of the origin and development of the Y. W. C. A. in this country, its objectives, ideas and ideals. Her talk, which dealt largely with "Y" work, was very comprehensive, interesting, instructive. We were very pleasantly impressed with Miss Harris and we hope to have her with us again soon. Among the visitors were Mrs. Charles Shepard of Durham, who is interested in the "Y" there, Mrs. Pearson, President and Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Boland, Miss Rankins and Wilson and members of the Y. M. C.

Holtckau has announced the good news that the trustees have launched an effort to raise an endowment of $100,000. He also announces an initial conditional subscription by a New York friend of $20,000. He is now in New York giving his time to the raising of the fund in order to secure the gift in order to be completed by December 31, 1926. The Utica Normal and Industrial Institute was founded in 1903 by Mr. Holtckau and his wife, both just graduated from the famous Tuskegee Institute. They went to the village of Utica in the southwestern part of the state of Mississippi and began their work with out funds, in a locality where of 33,000 Nogroes, 15,000 could not be funded, and in a population largely predominated. In some counties they outnumbered the white, thirty-five to one. At first there were only one teacher and a few pupils; no property not even a house to begin the work, so they had to teach in the open air. But nothing, not even poverty detered them. The result is that now the school is well established on its 1600 acres of land, has 32 teachers and officers, over 600 students (not counting the summer school) and with its buildings and grounds its property is worth $250,000. This is a record difficult to match anywhere in the South. The raising of an endowment fund becomes eminently necessary because of the $100,000 necessary to carry on the work annually, the students not payink more than $40,000 in both labor and cash. The raising of the balance keeps the principal on the road too great a portion of his time. The institute is so well known that it is felt that friends will readily respond to this need.

C., Mar. 4—Miss Ruth Morris, daughter of Dr. C. S. Morris, Nortok, Virginia, addressed the student body of A. and T. College at the regular chapel exercises on the subject, "The Life Worth While. The female evangelist emphasized very forcibly the frivolity of wasting life and named the various qualifications for a successful life. Mrs. Boyer, Wife Of St. Augustine's Dean, Passes Away Raleigh, N. C.-Mrs. Aelthia A. Boyer, wife of Dean Chas, H. Boyer, St. Augustine's Junior College, Raleigh, N. C., died at 12:50 a.m. Saturday, March 6, at the age of 50 years. She was a native of New Haven, Conn., but has lived at St. Augustine's ever since her marriage in September 1897. For many years she took an active interest in the Mothers' Meetings in connection with the school's community activities. She was a faithful and devoted communicant of the Episcopal church. She was beloved both by the students, the neighbors in the community and by many friends throughout the city and abroad. Besides her husband, seven children survive her; four daughters, three of whom are teachers, of whom two are married, and three sons, two of whom are in the high school and one in college. The funeral was held in the St. Augustine's chapel Sunday afternoon, and was conducted by the Rev. Edgar H. Gould, principal, assisted by the Rev. A. M. Cochran, rector of St. Ambrose Church of the city. The services were sweetly solemn and impressive. The chapel was filled with the friends of the deceased. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, being the tender tribute of teachers, students and friends in the city and out. She was laid to rest in Mt. Hopi cemetery. The honorary pallbearers were: Dean W. S. Turner, Profs. C. Rrazier, W. H. Fuller, J. L. Levister, Messrs. Berry O'Kelly, S. J. Hankins and Drs. M. T. Pope, L. E. McCaulley, J. O.

Best for old sores and itching skin. All druggists, 60 cents. Petersons Ointment SAYS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND RELIGION SHOULD HARMONIZE (Continued from page 7.) of the Negro race because of its inability to, command a few hundred thousand dollars to meet an emergency while Negroes had piled up in white banks all over the country countless millions. Negroes have money but their business is business, makes the business (in men and women) of the race who venture beyond the pie-shop monopoly appear to be the damn rascals of humanity, robbing the aged and innocent out of life's earnings. The ballot, the dollar, and education; the mightiest powers Christianity has for physical facilities and political opportunity in prosecuting its program in the religious thinking of the Negro has been too largely minimized and superficially thought of as agencies of evil, if not wickedness, (which is a contribution of slavery worked in our religious thinking by the un-Christian masses) and we received at the hands of those who had the ballot, money and education.) Our deeper religious feeling and thinking are conflicting, and there is something significant about feeling. Feeling is deeper than thought. We can express our thoughts in paragraphs but we can only live our deeper feelings, and it would be the most profitable thing to the Negro race to clean up the atmosphere of their religious feelings that the fertility of this most wonderful part of their lives might have concrete expression. For instance, we like to think of two rich characters in the world, God and the devil. When money and wealth are coming our way, or used in directions that please us, we think of it as a blessing from God, and that all the silver and gold are His, and then at other times under different experiences, we look upon men who handle large sums of money as the agents of the devil, misquoting the Bible, 'Money is the root of all evil.' At times, we think of the whole world as belonging to the devil and as Christians, we must hasten away to some other clime for facilities of happiness. At other times, we feel that the silver and the gold, of the cattle upon the thousand hills belong to God; and then we have another feeling that it is Christian to be poor, and un-Christian to be rich. Look at the mixture of ethics. Here is a thrilling psalm for such individuals: My Father is rich in houses and land. He holdeth the wealth of the world in his hand, Of rubies and diamonds; of silver and gold His coffers are full and his And these same individuals may be vying with Job's turkey-hen in poverty. How can we consistently think of having such a rich father and then we subsist of the 'oppossum' winter supply. The Founder of Christianity thundered from the Mount of spiritual instruction, 'Blessed be the meek for they shall inherit the earth, and he shall much member and others think that 'business is one thing and religion is another; and equally superficial is thus; 'business is one thing and friendship in another.' I challenge the cleverness of the most successful in business to prove that there is a shade of a difference in good religion, good business, and good friendship. They are the same in principle. 'Business is good business but honesty, justice, cleverness, precaution, trust, promise and interest in others?' Dishonesty, slothfulness, and indiscretion is bad religion, bad business, and bad friendship. The warp and woof of substantial business are the principles of Christianity. The views before expressed, to say the least are base ignorance of the true principles of religion, business and friendship. What Jesus Taught Jesus taught that the Kingdom of Heaven Is Like unto a man investing his money in gilt edge security, and unto the man that more should be given unto him that man should be taken away even that, that he had, i.e. the opportunity to get was removed because of non-appreciation. 'Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations,' is another challenge to those who lightly of the significance of religion. The progress and achievements of the human race in art, science, literature, jurisprudence, invention and discoveries, are all children of religion, if there are a few prodigies. Now some changes must be made in the thrift policy of Christians of our group. It is good religion to spend your money to the best interest of the human race. If the Negro is good enough to born you in the world, teach you in Sunday school, church and the public school systems, belong to your church, sil with you in your pew, take Holy Communion your daughter, visit your daughter, visit you in affliction, blend tears with you in sorrow, give you the fraternity grip, and respond to your signature of distress, he is due a consideration in your business. And to shout with him on Sunday, 'on your way to heaven' and walk with him in the week on his way to work and won't spend a dollar with you. If a Negro is un-Christian, Jesus would not do such, and when we do it we are following our prejudices and not Jesus. I say this must be corrected. first through the Negro Church that has in its organization about nine millions of the race's population. **Church Leadership** The Church is to give to the leadership, and the follow-ship of the race, the right spirit. This will not be the result of chronic censuring and fault-finding with no definite knowledge of what the real error is or 'what wilt Thou have me to do' made clear and practical. The task is a great one, but the leadership of the church has the courage, training and interest, sufficient to seize the opportunity and make safe one angle of the triangle of race construction. The next angle of race construction must be safeguarded by that skillful filler of letters and I suppose, the freest and most direct gun from this battery is that rapid-firing, long-range rifle, t h e ness. Some of our papers commercialize the weakness of the race. They publish a lot of stuff that is empty. This is not true with all use. I could mention a number of worthy journals among our group. For instance, the Norfolk Journal and Guide, which is most widely read here, and in many other places, has had to my mind a clean sheet up to this time. Its editor is courageous, conservative, direct, and healthy. The contributions of Kelly Miller, the sociologist and physician, and the founder masterful in expression, gripping in thought, courageous in truth and mighty in expression of the Scriptures, plus a first line list of other contributions from men and women who think and love, are filling our homes with an information, aspiration, and inspiration that will build for us securely. The next angle of this triangle of race construction must be secured, by the business and professional men—money. Where a man's treasure is, there is his heart also. Now quite a few of us feel that the devil is always near money and that money and religion won't yoke. Now if that is true, the host of us are mighty big devils, for we certainly love that stuff. It is mighty hard to interest people in things that they have no money in, and that is one reason colored people don't care any more about them. We are not much of their treasure in the church. We think much of our clothes, our homes, our cars, our children, our stocks and bonds,—why—they contain our treasure and we are willing to scrap about them in a minute. We have a mixed concept. We are just crazy about money and feel that we hate it. Let us understand ourselves. We love money. Let us be frank enough to admit it, and then courageous enough to properly handle Business Men Now let the business men of the race remove some of their frowns and burn a little more energy in the development of their business instead of wasting a greater portion of their business energy considering their oppositions. Gentlemen, this is a day of the survival of the fittest and no Negro need hope to get support in his line by hanging out the black sign. People don't care any about you being a Negro. If you are doing business you are a business man. Negroes have and are succeeding in business. I would like to give here a long list, but let me cite one illustration in the little city of Durham, N. C., in the heart of the business section on Main Street, there stands a building that will surpass anything between here and Norfolk and would not look bad by the side of the best that Norfolk has, and is owned by Negroes, without a cent of incumbrance.

Uphold Rothchild Francis Conviction Philip de laphia, Ma., Mar. 11—Judge Buffington of the Appellate Court, held in this city, handed down a decision Saturday that will probably stand as one of the unique records of the court, when he upheld the conviction and sentence of Rothschild Francis, editor of the Emancipator, a Negro newspaper of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. The conviction and sentence consisted of thirty days in jail and a fine of $100 for contempt of court for an editorial attacking one Judge George Washington Williams of the Federal Court on the island. Judge Buffington also rebuked Judge Williams for assuming the position that the courts have a right to "regulate" the press. The general right of trial by jury does not extend to the citation of the Virgin Islands, Judge Buffington holds, explaining they are entitled to jury trials only for felonies. The incident which gave rise to the legal battle occurred in December, 1924. It was a street fight among the natives and at the approach of the policeman it is claimed that the disturbers hurled stones at him, and he fired his revolver. The shot hit the bultish of which the policeman was in charge, the policeman attempted to arrest a woman. She resisted and the policeman struck her with his club. Francis then penned a scathing editorial attacking the police for their brutality, not mentioning Muthias, the policeman, however, by name, but Judge Williams held that the editor nevertheless labeled the policeman. Judge Buffington, this conflation, holding that there was no evidence that the public knew the editor meant that particular officer. After being refused a jury trial, Francis wrote an editorial charging this his conviction was "not due to a sense of justice, but solely from racial and political prejudice." For this attack, Judge Robert D. editor was guilty of contempt and fined him $100 and sentenced him to thirty days in jail. Hence the appeal to the Appellate Court here.

C., Mar 11—The United States Court of Claims last Monday morning dismissed the suit of E. W. Bliss. Company of New York against: the United States for the sum of $715,200. The government was represented by Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, and Louis R. Mehlinger, associate attorney. The suit grew out of the construction of torpedoes for the Navy Department at a fixed price for each torpedo. When labor conditions made it apparent that strike was about to ensue, the Bliss Company increased its wages in order to deliver these torpedoes during the war emergency. The Bliss Company claimed that it was entitled to reimbursement by reason of certain informal authorizations by the Navy Department. Attorneys Howard and Mehlinger contended that the government was obliged to manufacture and deliver these torpedoes under the provisions of the several contracts, and asked the court to dismiss the suit, which it did. Court Unable To Decide "Jim Crow" (By Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis,印社, Mar. 10.-The Appalachian County Court of Indiana began deliberating for several months upon a decision of colored high school couses brought by Archie Greathouse, a taxpayer, for and on behalf of all other taxpayers to enjoin the school commissioners of this city from electing and maintaining a high school for the exclusive use of colored citizens. This case was originally filed in the Marion Superior Court by W. E. Henderson, R. L. Bailey and W. B. Henry, Indianapolis, colored attorneys, and the Superior Court of Marion County decided in favor of the school board. Subsequently the National Association for Advancement of Colored People became interested in the case and employed the same attorneys to perfect an appeal to the Appalachian Court. The appeal was argued on the 16th of December last, and the court on the 25th day of February, after due deliberation, were unable to reach a decision by reason of the fact that the Appellate Court was evenly divided. The Appellate Court being thus transferless divided, this case is now transferred to the Supreme Court of the State of Indiana, consisting of five judges for final decision.

The Newport News paper, commentinss upon ais country’s propensity for multiple law making, asserts: “There must be a law for this, a law for that and a law for everything. And there- fore we have more laws and more lawlyss- ness than any civilized mation on earth,” concluding with the asstrtion, “li is only voluntary goodness, righteousness from within, that is worth while, Compulsory goodness at hest is merely negative wil.” The point made by the Daily Press is a sound one. The JOuRNAt. ANd Guine accepts it unreservedly. But that point suggests another point, or ravaer, query. Why is it that such lucid reasoning on the baneful effects of multiple Inyy making at once be- eomes befuddicd and ‘glaringly inconsistent whenever it ‘confronts the issue of race? Witness the Newport News paper in one breath clamoring for a law for which there is no public demand; a law which eminent opinion condemns as unnecessary. provoci- tive of friction and absolutely incompetent to affect the alleged evil—race amalyama- tion—from which it is dielared to derive its justification, and in another breath decrying our multiplicity of laws. Witness the New= port News paper clamoring for 2 law that would brand as lawless a white person and a colored person who should sit together in ‘a house of public entertainment, even if the “voluntary goodness, the righteousness from within,” these people failed to arouse in them the slightest repulsion against so sitting, yet decrying laws that would force the narrow views of one sot of people on all of the other people, thus making lawlessness all the more likely and easier. We refor to the Massenburg bill. More inconsistency: Here is the Newport ‘News paper strongly supporting a law that ‘would penalize persons of different races for Sexual intermingling—which is, right ot wrong, purely an issue to which should be ‘applied that persuasive righteousness in- stead of compulsory righteousness of which ‘the Daily Press speaks,— yet asserting, “Tt is voluntary goodness, righteousness from within that is worth while,” which is a tacit.admission that the racial integrity act ‘eannot prevent miscegenation. * Here is the Daily Press vociferously, ad- Editorial Pagé of. so vocating the separation of the races in every way by statutory enactment, yet frankly and sensibly admitting that “Compulsory goodness at best is merely negative evil.” This is inconsistency’carried to the limit.

Occupational Less in Florida The Florida Sentinel directs attention to the fact that there are many plasterors of the race going from place to place in the state seeking such employment as they can find, whereas only a short time ago these sams craftsmen had all the employment thoy wanted at a very high rate of wages The Florida Sentinel thinks that lack of ap- preciation of the work and unreliability in doing it have been responsible for the loss. We have no doubt that the conclusion is quile correct, as our workers have not learned, as others have, the intrinsic value of the employments they are cngaged in. They not only think they can do the work indifferently and “knock off work” waen they fei) like it, but that tie job will be there when they are weary of loafing and soldiering on it. It has been largely because of this fact and the introduction of trades unionism in the Southern states that the race has lest almost entirely the splendid ad- vantage it had for years in the skilled trades, Florida has boen undergoing a tremen- dous lund and building boom. Northern capital and workers have flooded the state. Contractors have to have dependable labor cor tose out on their contracts. Northern contractors have small patience with the _goldiering” and “knock off” disposition of our workers, and make haste to call in white workers when the colored workers fail them. They are used to white workers, who value hair work and what they make out of it and are dependable on that account, Negro workers have yet to learn this terrible les- son, but in somo measure it is now too Inte to learn it, as most of the skilled trades of the Soath have passed into the control of white workers, bound up and buttressed by trades union. ‘This is lamentably true all over the Sout, We have got to labor to regain what was once ours, and it is more difficult to recover than to hold any valuable thing you may have had and others have got posses- sion of. In the white trade union organizations there are lyeeums weere labor problems are digeussed from every angle and the labor of a given employment is thought so much ‘of that those not belonging to the union are not allowed to work at it and contractors are afraid when not indisposed to employ non-union workers. We should have the seme lyceum sexviee, where Iabor employ- ments and thir value and requirements fare thoroughly discussed by competent per- sons and where books and pamphlets and newspapers covering the same subjects are always available to the members for a small payment, We have got to learn to place a proper value on work and to be dependable workmen, If we do not learn it we are al- reudy doomed, hecause we cannot survive in an economic condition where we are eit ‘cumseribed in ovr labor opportunities, or where these are denied us entirely. “It is a condition und not a theory” that confronts our workers, and the sooner they become alive to the fact the better for them.

ONE NEGRO LEADER—well qualified; christian; member of several lodges; well educated—has two dogrees; Republican; married—two children; impressive in ap- pearance. If the above ad. appeared in a metropoli- tan paper, no doubt the public would hold its hands up in holy horror. Yet, every day of the year, hundreds of our so called race leader’ sel} themselves to the highest (white) bidder. However, if the sale stopped there, there would be no occasion for writing these lines, but, the sale of themselves is but the first step in their eventually selling you and me. For their purchase in the first place, is a matter precedent to the selling of the race, There is no race of people equally edu- cated and with as many opportunities for business development, who have had and still have as many traitors in their front ranks us the Negro. Usually the higher they are educated, the ‘easier they are bought. So prevalent is this trait in our intelli- gentsia that it has even invaded the class rooms of our schools and colleges. For the gilded gold of the Caucasian, Negroes can be bought to betray even their ‘own flesh and blood. ‘Teachers will betray students and students will even betray eacl other. ‘At the end of each political campaign, all of the Negro participants have been bought and paid for, and therefore, have no further claim for recognition. What the race has lost from this source alone is ines- timable. Whenever the unscrupulous politician wants to put over a Jim Crow proposition, ho always buys himself a few Negro leaders to sanction the move. If an old worn out school’ building is abandoned by ‘the Cau- casian students, there is always the bought- and-paid-for Negro who will come to the front and say “give us that building, we can uso it." If a crooked: stock scheme is to be unloaded on the unsuspecting Negro. in- vestor, there ig the Negro leader, (bought- and-paid-for), with his name and leadership used as a bait for the unsuspecting. When discrimination is saddled on the race, re- gardiess how humiliating, in walks the Ne- gro loader (bought-and-paid-for) to show the masses why they should accept it with- out a fight. How mary bitter pills of sorrow, sugar- coated bought-and-paid-for Negroes, has the race swallowed in its 63 years of freedom. No phase of Negro life has been sacred to our leadership. However, Negro business has no doubt suffered more from this group of traitors than any other. ‘This paper has evidence that high school teachers have pre- vonted their students from trading with Negro firms and forced them to go to white firms who offered these teachers a “cut- back.” What hope of economic political better- ment can“the race have when it is honey- combed with such a large group of traitors? These Judases must be unmasked if the Ne- gro is to win recognition from the progres- sive races of the world. Is blood thicker than water?

One might rightly conclude that a paper such a3 the JourNaL AND Guipe, which certain Virginians appearing be- fore the state legislature declared was the most powerful ongan of opinion among the Negro Press, is exerting. an even greater in- fluence in pointing out the fact that we have great gifts and pos- sibilities. Articles, hooks, and studies of the Negro in white publications are becoming constantly more frequent, Some are by members of our own race, and these latter and a few white authors present the more satisfactory contribu- tions, inasmuch as they can and do point out the fact that aside from the rich treasure of racial flavor, the growing quantity and richer quality of the Negro's work in art, literature, music, journalism, and the whole gamut of activity, there is a fine crea- tive basis for something Ameri- ean in other aspects than politi- cal and geographical. ‘That is, Negro folk songs and Negro poetical and prose literature for example are more frequently recognized as forming a sure basis of art that can ba Ameri- can, distinctively American. We are now in the midst of a movo- ment out of which may come a hody of art not alono American in geographical and political ways, but likewise American in background, flavor, and charac- teristic accent; so fan very little has been created in America capable of standing the test.

The Association is obvious- ly too large for very effective de- liberation or counsel. The De- partment of Superintendents is composed of state, county and city superintendents, and has a membermhip of over three thou- sand. The affiliated members, comprising school and group prineipuls, bring the total regis- tration up to something like fif- teen thousand. This body meets during the month of February in some designated city and consid- ors educational questions in- volved in the sphere of their function and duty. Because the work is scientifically organized and subdivided, the whole field of education received a treatment whose thoroughness and ef- ficiency is not equalled elsewhere, ‘The writer recalls speaking be- fore this body on federal aid to Negro education at the session in Atlantic City several years ago. ‘Tho recont session held in the city of Washington during the week of February twenty-second was widely significant through- out the educational world. The national capital, one would say, is the normal place for the an- nual meetings of such a repre sentative body which deals with the most vital national activity. For after all, education is the one vital common American pro- cedure-upon which the perpetuity of our national life depends. The one significant recommendation which I wish to emphasize in this release is the proposition to establish a department of ed- ‘ucation that shall take rank with the other branches of the govern ment now presided over by a Seeretary with the rank of Cab- inet officer. ‘The proposition in itself, is not only reasonable ‘put its necessity is compelling. ignating o particular group ol ‘American citizens, says it should not.

Odum in “The Coun- try Gentleman;" a finé appre- ciation of Paul Robeson by Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant in “The New Republic,” and a splendidly written story of Book- er T, Washington, including an estimate of his contemporary and historical significance and un op- timistic prophecy of the Negro’s future, published in the March “Ladies Home Journal.” Under the: title “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” Prof. Howard W. Odum of the University of N. G., co-author of the recent “The Negro and His Songs," has a most readable discussion in the March “Country Gentleman,” dealing especially with the back- ground, the importance of the expression of faith, hope, and other “inimitable harmony of voices and emotions,” the “rare imagery and allegory,” pathos, humor, the vivid pictures of heaven, the equally vivid pictures of hell; “Oh, hell is deep and hell is: wide Oh, hell ain't got no bottom or side.” the artistic heights reached, “the portrayal of idealistic hero wor- ship,” ‘and: the reachings into “the mysteries of the beyond” and the realities of nature of the Nogeo folk song. We should like to quote the parts we especially, liked.” But if we did we should’ be required to quote all the articles, Though this columnist, having at least once a week for four years sung, along with neatly a thousand other Negro students at Hamp- ton Institute, scores éf folk songs, and having studied them under such an emirient authority as Doctor Dett, would question some of Mr. Odum’s versions of the songs, he will note, all in all, it's a sympathetic and intelligent article.
