ASK ORGANIZED LABOR TO REMOVE BAR AND OPEN EMPLOYMENT TO RACE WORKERS FRANCIS GETS ANOTHER FINE AND SENTENCE Virgin Islands Editor Again Arouses Ire of Judge George Washington Williams And Is Punished. ANOTHER APPEAL TO STATES IS PLANNED New York, March 31—Roth- child Francis, Virgin Islands edi- tor and legislator, has been sen- tenced to 30 days in jail and $200 fine for printing without comment a report of the American Civil Liberties Union on an appeal in Philadelphia on his first conviction for contempt and libel. This vex- tion was hastened down by George Washington's Williams, district judge of the Islands, whose appo- nishment Francis had opposed and who was scored by the Phila- phila Court of Appeals for using libel laws to regulate the press. Francis, supported by the American Civil Liberties Union, has a- kester annual. The liber case grew out of a criticism in Francis' paper, "The Enunciator," of an unnamed native policeman. It was followed by a contempt case when Francis in an editorial charged he was a railroaded by a Judge Willis. The second criticism verdict is recently upon the sentence in the Civil Liberties Union report: "Friends of Francis maintain that the real reason for this sentence by the Virgin' Islands court was his opposition to Williams' appointment as judge."

ALLEN PREPARES TO GO IN TRIP 'ROUND TO NEW FIELD WORLD CONTEST Queen Street Baptist Church Pastor Prepares To Relinguish Charge Here After 21 Years Successful Pastorate. The Rev. F. W. Williams, D. D., who has pastored the Queen Street Baptist Church for 21 years, has accepted the call to the pastorate of Rodman Street Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Pa., which he received some time ago, and will soon depart to assume charge of the new field. Rev. Williams preached his farewell sermon to Norfolk on Sunday night last. It has been known locally for some months that the Rev. Dr. Williams was in receipt of the Pittsburgh call, but it was generally by his large number of friends in this city that he would find it feasible to turn down the call and remain where he has worked with such magnificent success for so many years. The announcement that he has definitely decided to depart from this permanently is received with deep regret among a vast circle of people who know him, and he was known throughout Virginia. The Rev. Dr. Williams leaves a splendid charge to go North. Queen Street Baptist Church one of the handsomest church edifices in the South. It has a large and energetic membership, and is the holder of valuable property other than the church building. Dr. Williams himself has a moving spirit, virtually every civic movement ever formulated in Norfolk, and has zeolously worked for theization of a number of such movements. He enjoys a large ubipult following, and in civic and welfare work his influence has been widespread. For a number of years Dr. Williams has been president of the Colored United Charities of Norfolk; president of the Virginia Baptist General Association and has manifested a guding influence in Baptist educational institutions under the wing of the Virginia Baptists. He has been unstinted in his eviction to the cause of race emancipation. Several years back when licensed saloons flourished in the city he conducted a militant fight from the pulpit and among the city authorities against barrooms in the vicinity of churches and succeeded in having a number of them re-raced or closed up. in materially, Dr. Williams has a made a splendid success. He is a vice president and director of the Metropolitan Bank and a Company, lives in a magnificent home and enjoys an affluence in community. his town Queen Street Baptist Church is planning to give its retiring pastor a mammoth public banquet and reception before he leaves the city. Melbourne town hall, recently damaged by fire, is to be reconstructed with all modern conveniences, at a cost of $700,000. NIZED EMPL fter 21 Years Service REV. O. J. ALLEN IN TRIP 'ROUND WORLD CONTEST People Of This Vicinity. Urged To Help Put Rev. O. J. Allen's Candidacy Across In Madam Walker Contest. The Rev. Dr. O. J. Allen, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church, is a contestant for one of the Around-the-World trips offered by the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, and calls upon the generous people of Norfolk and vicinity and his friends throughout the United States to put him over the top. Dr. Allen is the only contestant in Norfolk and Portsmouth and believes that if the people will rally to his support he will no doubt be one of the successful ones to gain a place around the world. The trip is one to be coveted by any man or woman for the information gained will be of untold value. Mr. Harry D. Evans, advertising manager of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, was in the city last week and made several addresses in the interest of Dr. Allen's campaign to the people of Portsmouth and he heard him pledged their import to purchase the Madam Walker products and vote for Dr. Allen. Simple Plan The plan is simple and easy—one simply has to buy the Madema Walker goods and send them to Dr. Allen, 813 Henry street, Norfolk or to the Journal and Guide office or to the home office of the Walker Company. Precinctly all men and women uss some sort of toilet, uduct and will please the Walker goods, besides getting the value received and helping their race, will be assisting Rev. Allen in winning the prize in the round the world trip. Not Church Contest It is not a church contest but a Norfolk affair, hence all local people may feel free to buy these goods and vote for Rev. Allen. The Rev. Dr. Allen is a worthy minister and that fact is well known here. He has taken a leading part in every movement that has had for its purpose the upbuilding of this community. Although himself pastoring a great church of large influence, he has been found assisting in the most humble places and is regarded as one of the most Christianly democratic men in this vicinity. Dr. Allen works unselfishly for others, a fact attested by his zeal in various community campaigns. He has endeavored to promote one of this charity and is regarded as a community pastor as much as he is regarded as a Baptist preacher. If the colored people in this section purchase just one or two toilet articles a week of the Madam Walker make and save the votes for Dr. Allen. Norfolk will put over successfully its candidate in the contest, which will redound not only (Continued on Page Eight) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1926 SUSPENSION DENTISTS OF OF HOSPITAL STATE MEET HEAD DENIED HERE APRIL 15 Col. J. H. Ward, Chief of Tuskegee Hospital, In Washington Refutes Report That He Is Under Suspension JONES REPORTED TO BE REINSTATED (Special to the Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., April 1—Col. J. H. Ward, commanding officer of the United States Hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama, Tuesday denied the report that he had been suspended from duty and that Col. Dallas Smith, who has charge of the area in which this hospital is located, had assumed supervision of the hospital. Colonel Ward declared that the report was absolutely false. He said that Dr. George S. Moore was temporarily in charge of the hospital in his absence. He pointed out that no one could take charge of a veterans hospital unless he is a doctor. Colonel Smith is not a doctor. Bureau Silent Veterans Bureau officials would make no statement relative to the Tuskegee hospital controversy Major Cutter, the assistant to General Frank T. Hines, director of the Bureau, would be to be said at this time, as the whole matter is being looked into. Besides Dr. Ward, Dr. J. D. Nelson of the hospital staff and W. L. Jones, chief engineer, are also in the city. Dr. Nelson was ordered to report here, for a hearing into charges of insubordination-filed against him. He appeared before a special committee which held hearings last week. That Mr. Jones, who refused to tender his resignation at the request of Bureau officials, has been reinstated from the time of his suspension to January 1, last, which would give him pay for that period. He was requested to tender his resignation effective as of the date of his suspension, October 12, 1925. He succeeded, however, in getting his case reopened. He was suspended upon charge of insubordination. J. Chilum and A. L. Holsey are also in the city. They are at the New Library Hotel. Dr. Ward is stopping at the residence of Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, 213 Florida avenue, northwest. Chisum Talks Mr. Chisium was the only person concerned in the hospital controversy, who was inclined to talk. He renewed his charge of a conspiracy on the part of certain Veteran Bureau officials to discredit an all-colored personnel. It is also reported that an investigation of conditions at the Tuskegee hospital was made in February last for the President by Major Durdin Van Law.

Old Dominion State Dental Association Will Be Guests Of Norfolk Dental Fraternity In Annual Session. LARGE NUMBER OF VISITORS EXPECTED The Old Dominion State Dental Association will be the guests of the Norfolk dentists on April 15 to 16 in the association's thirteenth annual convention. The state dentists last met in convention in this city in 1915, hence will be coming here for their first time in eleven years. The headquarters of the convention will be in the Hotel Wheaton and the sessions will be held in the hotel lobby, except the public session on Thursday night, April 15, which will be held at the First Baptist Church. According to the program arranged for this public meeting, it promises, be of special benefit to the laity because of the fact there will be a number of addresses by the visitors which will deal with public health in general and will be void of technical and scientific terminology. The Addresses The address of welcome will be made by Dr. G. Hamilton Francis on behalf of the Professional and Business Men's Club, of which he is the president and on behalf of the general public. Dr. E. D. Morton, State Clinician, will give a comprehensive report on his year's work with the State Commission; Dr.H. P. Wheeden, of Lynchburg, president of the Old Dominion State Dental Association, will respond to the welcome address, and Roscoe C. Brown, M. D., formerly of the United States Public Health Service now in charge of the life extension service of the North Carolina Life Insurance Co., will deliver the principal general health talk: The local pastors and their congregations and school teachers are especially urged to attend this meeting in large numbers and hear these talks which will prove of investible value to the public health. Scientific Program The scientific program of t the convention as arranged is one of the best to which the association has ever devoted its attention. The Virginia Tidewater Dental Society, of which Dr. H. E. Bonney is the president, is co-operating with the Old Dominion Association in this respect. Bonney having been instrumental in securing a number of the most prominent members of the Tidewater Society to appear on the scientific program. On the night of April 15, following the public meeting a reception will be extended the visitors at Jauanta's on Church St., by the Professional and Business Men's Club. This affair is planned as evidence of the cooperation the local public will give toward the entertainment of the visitors. Large Number Expected Guests who will come to the city during the two days at Hampton, Petersburg, Surfolk, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Richmond and vicinities, including the members of the organization themselves are excited to number about 800, and the local public is putting forth admirable efforts in co-operation with the local dartists to entertain the visitors. Norfolk is especially keen on securing conventions now, it being realized that the city offers splendid facilities and attractions for becoming a convention city, therefore the business men, the professional folks and the general public expect to see that the Old Dominion State Association is entertained here in a memorandum with Norfolk's pressure. While in the city the visiting dentists will make a visit to the public schools where short talks on public health will be given in a manner that will be readily understood by the children. White Woman Adopts Colored Boy (By Associated Negro Press) Detroit, Mich., March 31—Mrs. Elizabeth Seidel, a white Christian Science practitioner, has adopted 14-year old Roy Murphy, an orphan.

For the first time since 1914 sergeants are to patrol the streets of cities in Ireland for the purpose of obtaining recruits for the army. FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS TO RE RAC Norfolk Candidate Fo REMOVE ACE WOR candidate For Trip 'Round World Norfolk Candidate For Trip'Round World REV. O. J. ALLEN, D.D. Manslaughter For Banks Little Le hter Convictionanks For Killingle Leroy Strother Manslaughter Conviction For Banks For Killing Little Leroy Strother Israel Banks, former Chapel St. grocer, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter by a jury in Corporate Court No. 1, Wednesday, the following all-day trial for the killing of Leroy Strother, a 11-year-old colored boy on January 4, last, and financed $600. He noted an appeal. Banks was originally charged with murder, but at the outset of the trial Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney John M. Arnold stated that the most the State would ask would be a verdict of involuntary manslaughter. Banks has never denied that the lad came to his death from a bullet wound discharged from a pistol in the hands of hirsuta (Banks), but contended that the killing was an accident. He claimed that the pistol exploded a cartridge he did not know was in it while he was in the act of examining the weapon, the bullet killing little Leroy, who was in Banks store at the time. Broadly and Broudy appeared for the defense while J. Thomas Nunez, of Newport News, and W. L. Davis, of this city, assisted Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney John M. Arnold in the prosecution. The case was stubbornly fought, nevertheless its whole progress was characterized by eminent fairness on both sides. Not in years has the old Corporation Court room resounded with such an outpouring of legal eloquence as it did Wednesday. J. Louis Browdy, chief counsel for the defense, rated one of the most eloquent pleaders before the local bar as well as an attorney of the allied brilliance, and J. Thomas Newsworth, chief assistant of Mr. Arnold, in this case, a veteran, and an orator of pre-eminence, were pitted against each other, and neither was inclined to give an inch of ground. Walter L. Davis began the summing-up for the prosecution. He reviewed the testimony of the Commonwealth witnesses and the testimony of the defendant, and sought to impress the jury with what he termed the preposterousness of the defendant's contention that the weapon with which the boy was killed had been in h i s (Bank's) possession for more than two years, yet the defendant had never before attempted to find out if it was loaded, or if it was in good order until the defendant the boy was killed. Mr. Davis to the court that it was highly improbable that Banks purchased the weapon for $8.00 years ago and had never before thought to examine it until on that fatal day—as Banks had testified. He asked the jury to return a verdict of involuntary man-slaughter. Following Mr. Davis, the younger Broudy began summing-up for the defense. Not quite as seasoned as his brother, J. Louis Broudy, the young lawyer nevertheless was forceful. He emphasized the defense's theory that the killing was purely an unavoidable accident and declared that the case was duced that the contrary was immediately followed by the elder Broudy, J. Louis, who appeared to have been somewhat Case Hard Fought Defense Sums Up restless to get his opportunity before the jury. Broody began with an attempt to make much of the fact that the Brother family was represented by special counsel outside the Commonwealth's Attorney, and inferred that there was racial feeling in the case. Mr. Arnold listened for a while to this line of argument, but soon arose with an objection to it. Judge Sargeant then admonished the chief defense counsel to come down to the facts in the case. From here, Mr. Broody launched into his plea. He was forceful and cloquent. He is small of stature but large of voice and affects a most pleasing personality. Mr. Brody dealt most generously with the memory of the dead boy, paying a fine tribute to the good manners, loyalty and honesty of little Leroy as testified to by witnesses for the Commonwealth and by the defendant himself. He extolled the reputation of Israel Banks as had been referred to by a number of character witnesses, declared to the jury that Banks loved Leroy as one child, children and that it was unbelievable that Banks would premeditatively killed the little colored boy whom he claimed to have loved. As Mr. Broody progressed in his address to the boy, he became more animated, more eloquent and even sarcastic when referring to the prosecution's theory of the case. He analyzed, piece at a time, the defense's instruction to the jury, elucidated upon him; declared that a charge of involuntary manslaughter against the defendant was unsupported by the evidence in that the state had failed, he said, to prove trecklessly handling of a deadly weapon without due regard to human life. Newsome Closes J. Thomas Newsome followed Mr. Broudy and closed the case. It was the theory of the prosecution that the defendant probably unintentionally killed the deceased, but he, the defendant, had negligently weapon without due regard for human life, the result of which was fatal and that he, therefore, was guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Mr. Newsome dwelt on this point in his summing-up. He made no attempt to infer that Banks' had wilfully murdered the child, in fact he declared that it was his belief that no wilful murder had been committed, but he insisted that the defendant should be punished for his act. Mr. Newsome began his address almost inadmirably, but in less than five minutes after beginning he could be heard a half block away. It was warm in the courtroom with every window raised and when Tom Newsome had concluded his address to the jury he looked like he had just spent two hours in a July sum. The crowded courtroom was held spellbound as the veteran pleader soared to heights of eloquence. The defendant, testing in his own behalf, had stated that on the morning of the tragedy he went down town on business leaving the store in charge of his wife. On his return he found Lloyd in the store Leroy asked, the defendant said, t h a Banks allow him to put away a "All the News that's Worth Reading" PRICE 7 CENTS BAR RKERS A. F. L. HEADS TOLD TO OPEN UNIONS TO ALL Executive Council of American Federation of Labor Hear T. Arnold Hill's Accusations of Principles. APPOINTMENT OF RACE EXECUTIVE IS URGED Washington, D. C., March 31—The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor at its regular meeting today was urged by T. Arnold Hill, Director of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, "to remove the color restrictions in organized labor." Reinzi B. Lemus, President of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, appeared with Mr. Hill and gave vigorous support to the proposition. Contending than Negro plumbers, machinists, bollermakers and other craftsmen were "barred from employment because they were barred from unionism," Mr. Hill denounced as "un-American, un-democratic and un-economic" the policy of denying full rights to a wage-earners because of raco or collar work. The appointment of a colored executive as representative of A. F. of W. to negotiate with the national and local bodies that refuse membership to Negroes was urged and the council promised to give the matter serious consideration. The members of the Council gave more than an hour to the discussion and asserted their eagerness to bring about harmonious relationships between the white and colored workers. Among those attending the meeting were: President William Green, Secretary Frank Morrison, Vice President Matthew Woll, Vice President Jas. Duncan, and James Noonan, International President of the Electrical Workers. SENATOR BRUCE THINKS JIM CROW CARS SHOULD GO Thinks Time Has Come When Intelligence and Refinement Of Colored Citizens Make Separation Obsolete. (By Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., March 31— Senator Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, in an interview with a represent- tative of the Associated Negro Press, declared, in his opinion, the time has come for dispensing with Jim Crow cars. Senator Bruce spoke particularly of Maryland, his home state. "It seems to me that there has been sufficient advancement of col- ored people to do away, with separa- tive railway coaches. It is a matter of regret to me that we have them in our state. "Had I been appointed a member of the interracial committee that would have been one of my first recommendations," said the venerable senator, who has gained a reputation in the senate and his state for an attitude of justice and fairness to all. Continuing he said: "It would seem to me that the railroads themselves would be interested from an economic viewpoint. The system now is one of double expense. Colored people are American citizen and have proved to be good citizens." Senator Bruce is not a candidate, which naturally, makes his statement carry all the more emphasis.

Dear Naomi: I am a single girl, 19 years of age, longs curly black hair. I dress modestly and also have modest ways, attend all home circles and meetings for the uplift of Christianity. I have met a young preacher who has a wife and four children. Everybody that knows him says he is intelligent. I have never seen his wife nor the children and if I speak of them to him, or when he offers his service and I refuse to accept it, he acts as if though it makes him angry. Everywhere he sees me he keeps his eyes on me and if in the presence of others he will leave them and come to me. He is always trying to make things convenient for me. Please advise me what he means? Brown Eyes. Dear Brown Eyes: I am pleased to know you take an interest in the things worth while and attend the meetings that are held for the good of mankind, for in that way you can be of some real service. Now, my dear, about the preacher. It does not sound well for him that he gets angry if you mention his family. It he separated from them or just away temporarily when at his church. He may be interested in you because you are smart and inclined to take to worthy ideals, but my advice is: keep him in his place. He is a married man and therefore do not let him become too friendly. So many good girls are talked about not because of really doing wrong but because of being indiscreet.

Instead of breakfast being a hurried meal as is usually the case it should be served with just as much care as any of the other meals. Everyone needs a good substantial meal to start the day. Children especially in order to be well nourished should eat a good hot breakfast of a cooked cereal with cream, toast, an egg or bacon, milk or hot chocolate in order to obtain the best results in their school work. Of course, the amount and kind of food eaten for breakfast depends upon the occupations of the individual. One person might be satisfied with coffee, toast, and fruit, while another would prefer waffles or pancakes with everything that goes with them. A hot breakfast may consist of a hot cooked cereal, a hot bread or toast, eggs prepared in one of a variety of ways, or as an alternative, bacon, ham or sausage, waffles or griddle cakes and a beverage of some kind. Under hot breads you could have biscuits, for nothing is so appetizing as piping hot biscuits, muffins of all kinds or popovers. My book of muffin recipes will be sent free to anyone requesting it.

She was immediately placed in the public school, which was just beginning. After going through grammar school, she entered Hampton Normal School, where the three-year course was completed. She graduated Class A-1, 1882, pursued the new vocational graduates which were being trained out of that class.

There was a call for three teachers in Powhatan county, where Mrs. Procter was first, sent out.

C.—Dehart Hubbard, Olympic broad jump champion and world's record holder for the running broad jump, will give demonstration performances in the running broad jump, sprint and hurdle races at the Howard University Track and Field Meet May 8th, 1926. He has recently made the world's indoor 60 yard record and set a new world's record for the running broad jump indoors. It is evident that Hubbard is getting better and followers of track athletes look to him to set still other records in his favorite events. Sandy, Evans, who holds the Canadian one-half mile championship, has already signified his intention to run against an open field. Sandy participated in the collegiate events: held at Howard University in 1924. He electrified the throng with a wonderful stride and great strength in a special one-half mile race. He claims to be in excellent shape and promises to run from scratch, giving handicaps up to 40 yards. Cecil Cook, of Syracuse University, expects to be on hand to show the fans how a quarter-mile race should be run. This youngster comes in for national fame because of his consistent performances for the past few years. This is the classic of spring sports. It is a gala day and compares favorably with the great Howard-Lincoln football classic in enthusiasm and attendance. SMITH TRIMS A. & T. TEAM Charlotte, N. C., March 20—Playing their first game of the season, The Smith's Bulls took the much tooted A. & T. Tigers into camp today. by the score 15-7. "Bun" Hayes was on the mound for the Bulls and with the exception of occasional streaks of wildness, he went along in mid-season form. As is customary with first games, the fielders booted a few here and there thus causing a large score. "Where" Hardy led the booting for Smith, but Coleman, an A. & T. veteran of many years went him one better and figuratively kicked a few all over the lot. "Were" redeemed himself at the bat by poling a Texas Leaguer into deep center for three bases scoring McKeithen for Smith's first tally.

Electric Contractor NY Inc NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Southern PORT TRAI By Thomas W.Young Southern SPORT TRAIL By Thomas W.Young Indian Signs It's about time the springtide psalmist come forth with their entertaining verses concerning the naive season which recently made its debut. One wonders why they have not commenced their opining about the northward fight of the foul of the air and the fishes of the sea, and about the sprouting leaves from the winter beaten trees. Which is only a long way of saying that it is time winter sportsmen hang up their togs and don apparel familiar to the diamond, tennis courts and other places of tropical diversion. The South Has Its Quota It seems that when it comes to the much discussed question of national supremacy, the South is never without an entry. Tuskegee was generally conceded the mythical crown in football. And now Dixie offers Morehouse as a substantial bid for the basketball crown. Morehouse has gotten away admirably with a particularly teasing program, a program which any team except the superitif would have crashed under. General Sherman will never make another devastating sweep of Georgia, but the Maroon will continue to produce teams htat will invade the East and West with the same destructive results which Morehouse has effected for five or ten years. "They Always Come Back For More" When a rubber ball is bounced on the floor, it rises and falls again, and continues to repeat with less vigacity each trip. Well, that's about what ambitious James Slattery has done. He refuses to retreat to the Hall of the Unforgottens. Last summer, James was acclaimed as the coming heavyweight champion of the world until Dave Shade, the California jumping jack, connected a hook on his but- FROM PRESS By WILLEY FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEYA.JOHNSON,JR Derr Paulie Paul Berlenbach, light heavyweight champion of the world had it suddenly dawned upon him, that he was getting good in this fight racket and sought to graduate from his class without taking the full course. But in the preliminary examination conducted at the new Garden, Herr Paulie flunked miserably. Johnny Risko, the unheralded gave Berlenbach, the champ his first test and he applied it so hard, the Astoria assassin was unable to make the grade. Berlenbach is a long ways off yet. He hasn't become perfect enough in his division to seek lauries in another. Of course, he saved his crown, but his prestige received a pretty hard whack. Though Risko adds nothing to his credit, because he is a heavy, but he surely smeared Paulie. Down In Georgia They don't seem to he so bad in Georgia after all, even though they do become a bit barbaric at times. Tiger Flowers, the newly crowned champion of all middleweight box fighters in the world, was cordially, noisily and warmly received by the citizens of his home town and among them were some of the leading ones of the whole Brunswick, including the Mayor, ex-Mayor and others. SOUTHERN LOOP FORMED FOR BASEBALL SOUTHERN LOOP TIGERTRACK AND FORMED FOR TENNIS TEAMS BASEBALL IN TRAINING (By Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tennessee—When it became known that Memphis and Birmingham would pull out of the National Negro Baseball League, the interest of southern baseball fans in the two cities was so aroused that R. S. Lewis, owner of the Memphis Red Sox, sought a conference with leading business and professional men, including Dr. J. B. Martin, B. M. Roddy, T. J. Johnson, and others, looking towards the formation of a Southern League. The conference resulted in the calling of a meeting in Memphis of representatives from eight southern cities, including Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgomery, New Orleans, Nashville, Chattanooga, Memphis, and Albany, Georgia. In less than two days the Southern Negro Baseball League was organized, officers elected, and a schedule prepared to cover games for a half season. The schedule arranged in this meeting provides that on May 1st New Orleans will open the season at Memphis; Birmingham at Chattanooga; Atlanta at Nashville, and Albany at Montgomery. On May 10, Memphis will open the season at Birmingham and Montgomery at Albany. On May 17, Nashville will start at Atlanta and on May 21, Chattanooga at New Orleans. TRAIL ton that pushed him into oblivion. Later, aspiring Jimmy desired to "come back" and one paper was bold enough to proclaim him the kid who was changed from a dreamer to a fighter by Shade's terrific bombardment. So Slattery came back for more, but he found that, true to the rubber ball theory he was destined to make another trip. But he came again, a few nights ago, and Young Stribling, the twuant school lad of Georgia, stated him on another downward trip. And so on. Mike McTigue is still battling off the shackles of old age, while his once colorful ring career is coming to naught. Won't the Kansas City Monarchs he back for more this summer? Won't Tally Holmes, Edgar Brown, Sailch, and the rest be back for more at St. Louis this coming August when the National Tennis Tournament moves off? They always do. Intelligence Test Question: Will Tiger Flowers successfully defend his title against Greb? 1. Will Dempsey play Wills? 2. Will Ted Thompson conquer St. Louis as he did Bordentow? 3. Will Hildale turn back all Eastern League rivals and then repel the pride of the West? 4. Will Tuskegee tread the gridiron undefeated next fall? 5. Will Lanky" Jones occupy the basketball spotlight again next year. Mr. Hubbard, the mighty thunderbolt of Cincinnati, continues to "fret and rage, and bite the chains of nature." This time the world's indoor broad jump mark crashed before his record-breaking folly, as Charlie Hoff, the marvel of the indoor season who has no regard for records, looked complacently no. Where do we go from here Dehart? THE BOX A. JOHNSON, JR. All of this goes to prove that color is no barrier to ability and the latter will be recognized, sooner or later. The fight talk is going the rounds again, meaning, where Dempsey is concerned, of course. There are many who really believe that Dempsey will eventually fight Wills. There are as many who doubt it. Wills Only Chance It seems that Wills' only chance of ever getting a crack at Jack is, to meet him on the street some day and take a pass at his nose. Surely Dempsey has guts enough to physically resent any insult of this kind. Wills ought to take a slap at this boy's mug just for the fun of it, the first time they meet. It seems to be the only chance of ever hitting Dempsey. Of course, there wouldn't be anything in a street fight, but he will have the consolation to know that he finally met the moss covered champion. We believe that there are hopes of Wills becoming heavyweight champion of the world, but we have little belief of him gaining it by beating Jack Dempsey. It does not only appear that Dempsey has no desire of fighting Wills, but no other leather pusher that is considered a logical opponent. He is contented with exhibition tours slapping over set-ups. TIGER TRACK AND TENNIS TEAMS IN TRAINING Lawrenceville, Va., March 27—Dr. Boyd, formerly of the city of Hampton and a well known athlete of Oberlin College and Columbia University, has charge of the Tiger track squad this spring. He is very confident that he will be able to turn out a formidable aggregation that will favorably defend themselves in the All C. I. A. A. Track Meet, scheduled for May 15, at Hampton Institute. Booker T. Pierce, the champion C. I. A. A. shot putter is back in the camp. Oliver is back also. Tennis a Major Sport Tennis is now a major sport at St. Paul. Three new clay courts are being rapidly conditioned to entertain the C. I. A. A. rackets, on the occasion of the third annual C. I. A. A. Tournament to be held in Lawrenceville, on May 8. Mr. J. W. Anderson has the squad under his supervision. "Choppie" Bannister, "Sparky" Booker, and "Slim" Peters are his mainstays thus far. "The landscapes," says the critic, "are less successful, although many of them are very pleasing in composition, and one feels that once the artist has analyzed for herself the quality of form and of light in her grasp of portraiture, she may bring to her nature painting much the same vitality."

The picture, directed by Gregory La Cava from the story by Arthur Stringer, which ran in the Saturdays Evening Post, is an answer to "Manhandled" by the s a m e author. "WOMANHANDLED" "WOMANHANDLED" Dix has the role of a millionaire who whom every cutie of Broadway knows and charms Richard doesn't mind being chased as bit. He's a well known sponsor at the night clubs, always accompanied by a bevy of chorus girls. Till one day in the park he meets Esther Ralston. He has just jumped into a lake and pulled out a drowning little boy. Esther thinks Richard's great and asks him if he's one of those big rugged fellows from the open spaces. Eager to make a hit, Richard lices. He says he's a Westerner. But a couple of days later Esther learns the truth.

Virginia To Our Bus Patrons We wish to call your attention to the following matters affecting Bus service: In the interest of avoiding confusion and inconvenience to our patrons inasmuch as some of the larger buses with rear door exits are operating on the Pay As You Enter plan, while the remainder of the buses operate Pay As You Leave, we believe it desirable to have all buses operate Pay As You Enter, and fares will be so collected effective April 1, 1927, we only exception being in the case of the second zone Naval Base line, in which zone, fares will be collected Pay As You Leave. It will also help us to render an improved service if patrons will please have exact fare ready when they enter the bus, and at the same time ask for transfer, if one is needed, to complete the trip. NO TOKENS ON BUSSES Through misunderstanding some of our path is a desisting street car tokens in the fare box as payment for a ride and we would respectfully call attention to the fact, that under the uniform transportation ordinance the present adult bus fare is seven cents, and tokens are good only on street cars. While the three-quarters of a cent does not amount to much in each individual case, it does in the aggregate appreciably affect our income. FARFS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN It is desired to call the attention of parents to the fact that the unified transportation ordinance provides for a 21/2-cent fare for school children, if tickets are purchased in book form at the Company's office. School children desiring to use tickets should secure from Principal of School attended, the customary certificate which, when presented to our Cashier, 200 Plume street, is his authority for issuing such reduced rate transportation as provided for by City ordinance. If regular school tickets are not used we must ask the payment of seven cents. We will appreciate your cooperation with us in connection with these matters. FRANK McLAUGHLIN Vice President.

On Saturday at matines the prices are reasonable for school children. MARTHA HASKINS Age 11 years "Why Should Patronize Actors' Theatre" JUNE 26, 1920. The reason you should patronize the Attacks is because it belongs to your own race. People who didn't get a chance to be educated can go there for educational, inspirational and recreational benefits. It teaches school children how to act in public. It teaches them how to read swiftly, and it teaches them more about the world. Places that they may never visit can be seen at the Attucks through pictures. Now, here are some reasons for patronizing the Attacks Theatre: First, it was organized by colored citizens. Second, because it is named after that great man, Crispus Attacks who was first to slash blood in the Revolutionary War. When all desired to curry爱, Attucks spoke up and said, "Pick in your flag and guns and fol- utrons matters affecting Bus inconvenience to our door exits are o- mainder of the busse save all buses operate Active April 1, 1927, the Naval Base line, in service if post one will and at the same time SES are disusing street would respectfully representation ordinance are good only on street amount to much in only affect our income.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Thelma Simmons; who is in favor of the Attucks will say (while the whites are turning towards their theatres): "Fick up your money and follow me to the Attucks." It is the only colored theatre in Norfolk with the population of about 161,000 people, one-third of which are colored. When you come in from work, don't go to bed, but remember that all work and no play makes "Jack" a dull boy. Then, go to the Attacks for the reevaluation for which your body calls. Manslaughter Conviction For Israel Banks (Continued from Page One) load of wood that had just been delivered to the store. Banks said he told the boy to put away the wood promising to pay him ten cents for the work. He said the boy put away about twenty blocks of the wood then demanded his money. Banks said he gave Leroy a nickel and told him that when he put away all of the wood he would be paid the other nickel. The boy grumbled at this and left the store, Banks said. A few minutes after Leroy left the store, the defendant testified, he (Banks) discovered his pistol lying on the floor behind the counter. Mr. Banks said, finding the weapon in this unusual place, he picked it an and proceeded to examine it when a cartridge which he claims he did not know was in the pistol exploded and Leroy, whom he did not even know had even retained to the store fill dead with a bullet wound in his forehead. Mr. Banks said he bought the pistol two years ago from a colored man who needed money to go the Philadelphia, giving him $8.00 for it, but was told when he purchased it that it was unloaded, and that during the two years he, Banks, had never sought to find out if it was loaded. He said his children and little Leroy used it for a play toy. Attacks Story Mr. Newsome sought to tear to threads this story. Snatching the pistol from the table where it lay in front of the jurors, he snapped the trigger a scout of times and shouted to the jury that it was against every instinct of children to have played with that pistol for two years and never attempted to pull the trigger. A number of times the voice of the veteran pleader rose to a pitch that almost made the hair on the heads of his auditors stand up, then again his voice would fall in an impassioned tone as he would quote the holy writ in his pleading. He ridiculed the idea that there was a show of racial feeling in the case as Mr. Broudy had interfered, but declared, that that little colored boy, just in the morning of his life had every right to live. The Newport News lawyer praised the Hebrew race's great capacity as merchants, referring to Lebanon and the sheep of the Bible, to Shylock and his pound of flesh, then used this same praise to attempt to prove that Israel Banks had not so far deviated from the Hebrew trait of being a good merchant as to pay $8.00 for a pistol and never examine it to see if it would work. Again, answering Mr. Broudy as to racial feeling, Mr. Newsome declared that there could be no racial feeling between Negroes and Jews, because if any two races of people love each other, it is they. Turning to Mrs. Banks who sat by the side of her husband, the colored lawyer, swung back to the jury and said the Commonwealth did not ask that her husband be convicted of murder and that she and her children be stigmatized; she said be believed that Banks loved Leroy, but even if he did, even if it had been Banks' own child killed, the defendant nevertheless would be guilty of manslaughter for recklessly handling a deadly weapon so as to cause a fatal accident.

GARLAND Regeneration and Distortion The regenerative receiver has held a valuable place in the radio service since its introduction to the world in 1912, as the invention of Major Armstrong. Most of the receivers of today for vengeance, we do not ask for a conviction because the boy was colored, gentlemen of the jury, all we ask is that you take this matter into your own conscience; that you see that the laws of Virginia are appled, for all orderly government rests on respect for law and you are its custodians; we ask for a conviction because the evidence demands it and the safety of society requires it," was Newsome's concluding persecution. There were no witnesses for the defendant other than himself and a number of wholesale merchants and other people who were customers of his when he kept a store in Park Place.

Some have been slightly modified and sold under different trade names. With the advent of the popular interest in broadcasting came trouble, for—bearing out the statement of last week—so many sets of the same type, and many improperly made and controlled, created a disturbance. All sorts of howls and screams could be heard upon listening in. Interest plus the early stage of "Radio Fever" made the situation bearable for a while, in the meantime, however, experimenters were at work upon instruments that would eliminate inter- forence arising from too much regeneration and radiation. Out of these experiments came the super-regenerative and super-heterodyny powerful sets of the feedback type. Then came the RF or radio frequency outfits. The R. F. set employs transformers ahead of the dector to increase the receiving range of the outfit. Distance is the keynote here. Later appeared the balanced and neutralized radio frequency circuits characterized by greater distance factors, clearer reception, and a consequent decrease in re-radiation problems. The air has been slightly cleared, but some trouble yet remains to be neutralized or suppressed. Aside from re-radiation, there is distortion which refers to ragged and squeaky signals. Distortion Distortion may be caused by several factions. In conjunction with these, poor operation sometimes serves to increase the difficulty. These are some of the common causes. Poor tuning, wave deformity, poor loud speaker, poor contacts, static, bad tubes, internal chemical action of weak batteries, and poor broadcasting. Wave deformity results when regeneration is carried too far, when there is an improper leak in the grid circuit, faulty tubes, re-radiation from other sets, or bad transformers in the audio circuit. Loud speakers are sometimes faulty in that the vibrating diaphragm may be incorrectly made or adjusted. In making a set the builder SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1935 should aim to make all connection firm. Poor contacts may render th best set useless. Static is the great Satan of radio. We have no instrument to entirely suppress it. We can only sit and endure the cracking and frying noises. Since the clearance of the patent situation on tubes, there have appeared many tubes of different manufacture. Before, there was a regular traffic known as "bootleg tubes," because the seller's sold them on the quiet much like corn whiskey is being sold today. Under such a system it is easy to get bad tubes. Some may work well, while others may be useless. Insist on tubes of a standard make. Weak batteries have an internal chemical electrolytic action which may make the signals fry, crack or fade away. Put in a fresh set as a remedy. Broadcasting may be bad at times, and there follows distortion. Most of the stations are well arranged and have a monitor who listens in to the programs to check up on any fault transmission from his station. It is best to test the set well or substitute another when there is distortion. In the regenerative set, care should be exercised in tuning to prevent over regeneration and re-radiation.

METROPOLITAN BANK'S HISTORY IS ROMANTIC Sixteen years ago, Negro Norfolk's greatest financial institution today had a most humble birth at a corner grocery store. The Brown Savings and Banking Co., was founded in 1909, with a modest buildin on the corner of Bute and sthreets. "This building its name is from its founder and first presenter, E. C. Brown, of the Philadelphia. The history of the Brown Savings Bank reads as an Alger romance. Through cloudy days of doubt and penury, it arisen to a prominence unguarded by race institutions thrustin the country. A few years after its opening, the banks quarters proved too small; a larger building was rented on the corner of Queen and Grant, street—now the Southern Aid Society Building. Here, the plant experienced its greatest period of equipment from the foundation of resources and public confidence. The bank's growth was increased first from $10,000 to $50,000, and a few years later to $150,000. War Brings Boom and Bane Naturally, during the World War period, the bank witnessed a rapid growth. Capital and sur- reached the $200,000 mark, while total resources mounted to a new high peak for Negro banks of ONE MILLION dollars. The stockholders decided to purchase a banking site of their own, and the present office and banking building at the corner of Church and Brambleton avenues, was erected at the cost of $150,000. This building is a magnificent three story-structure of smooth lime stone. But even in this period of easy money and big profits the officials did not abandon their erstwhile policy of careful, conservative banking methods. And it was well that they did not, for the bank was about to be put to the aid test of its career. Its Greatest Service Shortly after the close of the war this test came. In the midst of a falling market, with banks, white and colored either merging or falling outright on all sides, with dwindling bank accounts, heavy withdrawals and a general slump in all business in this sec. New Way to Stop Night Coughing Simple Method Brings Quick Relief For almost instant relief from hacking, irritating, sleep-robbing night coughing there is a very simple treatment which, often with a single dose, stops all irritation and permits sound sleep to the whole night through. This treatment is based on the prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take the leazoonful at bedtime and hold it in the throat for 15 or 20 seconds after swallowing it. The prescription doubles action. It not only soothes and holds sootness and irritation, but it quickly improves the oligurm and condition which are the real cause of coughing. People who have not well for nights are often surprised by quickly this simple method checks coughing; and banishes the entire condition completely. Dr. King's New Discovery is for chest colds, sore throat, hoarse-branchs, spasmodic croup, etc. Children as well as grown-ups can be treated as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good drugists. Ask for DR. KINGS NEW DISCOVERY FOR Coughs Business And Trade Review Has put His Life Into Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. tion, the Metropolitan met the issue squarely and stemmed the tide of depression experienced by business enterprises in Norfolk and Virginia. Personnel It has been said that any corporation is the elongated shadow of one individual. No speculation is needed for one to arrive at the conclusion that if this saying is true it applies in this instance to William M. Rich, now president of the institution. Mr. Rich has been with the bank since the first day it swung its doors open to the first depositor. Born in Westmorland County, Va., he graduated from the General Course at Hampton Institute in 1909, and completed a postgraduate course in business at the same institution in 1910. Immediately upon finishing this course he accepted the cashiership of the Brown Savings and Banking Co. The cashiership at that time carried with it divers duties—such receiving deposits, keeping books; washing windows and bathing floors; the laundry; were long, the almost nothing, but Rich stuck to the job until he was elevated to the presidency of a million dollar institution with a working force of eleven persons. As he is a young man of only thirty eight years, it is predicted that there are yet several financial worlds for him to conquer. Closely allied with Mr. Rich, and sharing with him the responsibility for the growth and success of the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co., who Dr. A. J. Strong, its vice president and treasurer; J. C. Brooks, its secretary, and owner of J. C. Brooks and Co., the largest real estate brokerage concern in Tidewater; Rev. J. A. Handy, a minister practical enough to erect a tabernacle that not only metts the spiritual needs of his congregation, but also its social and recreational requirements; Mr. G. C. Owings, assistant secretary-treasurer. Mr. Rich stated that the greatest pride of the bank's officers is not over the growth and success of the bank, wonderful as they have been, but is rooted in the fact that there has been a steady, sure increase in the tendency of Negroes of Norfolk to buy mortgages that has permitted the bank to lend thousands and thousands of dollars to our people in helping them to buy and own their own homes.

Holmes, founder of the National Ideal Benefit Society of Richmond, spent several days in Norfolk this week in interest of his Order. He greatly pleased the large congregation that heard him at First Calvaryv Baptist Church Sunday morning. In the afternoon in company with Messrs. Wood and suiter, he motored several miles in Norfolk county and addressed a splendid audience. Monday night a large gathering of Ideal members greeted Mr. Holmes at the Community Center, where many new members were received and an inspiring address delivered by the Supreme Master who assured his hearers that he was highly qualified. The Order is making. Refreshments were served by the committee representing the seven lodges in this city. Deputy Samuel C. Jackson is making great plans for a big work for the Ideal Society this year.

It is known that 387 cities in 33 states have a standing tax of from one and one-half to four mills per assessed valuation for the support of bands for municipal work. In the year 1924-1925 a total of $997,669.17 was appropriated for public musical organizations, of which amount $70,689.79 was appropriated for municipal bands. Among the Virginia cities making appropriations for local bands were Clarksburg, $2,483; Charlottesville, $1,500; and Lynchburg, $900. ing, thrifty barbers in upper Church Street, did a very profitable business sat his stand 1226 Church last year.

It is the desire of the Excelsior Band to engage in more largely community service, and this makes it necessary that the band either get a municipal appropriation or to draw upon the public for assistance. At present it is resorting to the latter course. There are but few progressive communities in this age that do not offer its citizens summer musical concerts at the public expense. These concerts have been found to exert a most wholesome influence upon the lives of the people, making for recreation in a form that inspires a higher appreciation of music. The Excelsior Band is known not only in Norfolk as a first rate musical organization but has advertised the city elsewhere in a most creditable manner. In announcing the $5,000 campaign the committee issues the following statement: "We are appealing to you to assist us in our effort for a greater and more complete public service, because we have reason to feel proud of your sympathetic appreciation of our best efforts in promoting the community spirit thru the medium of music by our patriotic and civic demonstrations at home and our yearly contribution to the prestige of our city in the outside world. "This organization has automatically become a part of your civic life. The Execisor Band, and Norfolk have become nationally synonymous. For the past forty-eight years we have been identified with the city's activities during which time we have incurred and defrayed an approximate expense of Sixty Thousand ($60,000.00) Dollars for our upkeep. Many similar organizations have come and gone during that time because of the sacrifice entailed. Realizing the value of community music, many cities are sponsoring the upkeep of such efforts on the part of their respective communities, WILL NORFOLK DO LESS? The city officials have kindly consented to permit us to institute this campaign for Five Thousand ($5,000) Dollars in order that we continue our useful work on a broader and in harmony with suggestion from the City Council, the City Manager and the Chamber of Commerce. All contributions may be for- warded to the Ledger-Disp patc h and will be acknowledged by them."

PHONE 33267 HAS INVENTED A FUELLESS MOTION MACHINE, CLAIM HAS INVENTED A FUELLESS MOTION MACHINE, CLAIM Sectured in a dark and dingy basement in a downtown building is one of the most peculiar mechanical contraptions one ever looked upon, which is designed, its inventor claims, to furnish power for any and all purposes without the use of any sort of fuel. It is called a fuelless motion machine, and its inventor is a colored man. Crude Affair The machine is a most crude looking affair, built of three or four cylinder tanks, a mesh of bolts and screws holding together mysterious looking pieces of steel and springs and has probably a total weight of 2,500 pounds. Henry Newton, the man who made it, is a South American Negro machinist. He says he has been working continuously on it since 1922, beginning in New Orleans. He brought it to Norfolk about three months ago. Mr. Newton declares that the machine will do just exactly what he claims for it when perfected, and says he knows just exactly what else to do with it to make it perfect. It will run a dynam, furnish power to any sort pulley for the machinery or any of machines without the use of coal, wood, oil, gasoline or any other kinds of fuel. It is designed to rely upon gravitation, air or water to put it in motion, says Mr. Newton. Mr. Newton, is a very decrepit looking sort of character. He is what is generally called a "down and out."

He says his appearance is brought about by his disinclination to cease working on his idea until it has been perfected, therefore he has no means of subsistence. At present he is anxious to get in touch with some colored person who is willing to back his ideas with some cash—not much is required now he says, in much as most of the real work has been done. When he brought the machine to Norfolk some months ago he was unable to pay the expressage on it amounting to $90.00, but eventually found a Greek merchant who put up the cash to get it out, taking the machine in pawn for his money. Two colored young men were intended to settle the Greek's claim and took the machine out for Newton. It is now located in a basement in a downtown building, where he works on it night and day, using every sort of hand tool used by a machinist. Although unkempt and shabby, a brief conversation with Henry Newton will at once reveal that he is a man of intelligence above the ominy. He claims to have run his machine for several hours, and from his talk he appears not to be altogether a vain dancer. Mme. V. D.

Interest of the local church centers in the ordination of one of its members and the Presbytery's only theological student, J. Riley Dungey jr. The public is cordially invited to attend all services. GRACE P. E. CHURCH The Palm Sunday congregation at Grace Church last Sunday morning filled the church. A most beautiful service was witnessed by all. Rev. Harris preached on: "The Triumphal Entry," from Jno. 12:12. Three things were dwell upon, the fact that Christ was the Messiah and was in no uncertain terms giving Jerusalem the last opportunity to accept Him as such. He was living up to the ideal set before Him even before he was way into the Cross. Last all, the speaker spoke of how the crowds received Him. T he choir rendered special music for Palm Sunday. At the end of the service as the congregation passed out a Cross of palm was given to each one. At the evening service Rev. Harris preached again from Luke 19:45, on the "Cleansing of the Temple." On Easter Sunday, the Holy Communion be celebrated and it is said that the church will again be crowded. Rev. Harris will preach a special sermon for Easter and the choir will render specially prepared music. "Story Of Calvary," Choir Cantata "The Story of Calvary," will be the cantata presented by the choir of the First Baptist Church this Sunday evening as the climax to the day's celebration. Mr. Lawrence Harrison has been training an augmented chorus for the occasion for several weeks. At the morning service the pastor will deliver a sermon, and it is predicted that as usual a capacity audience will greet Rev Richard H. Bowling at this time. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The morning service at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church was well attended Sunday, March 28. The pastor, Rev. M. D. M. Smith preached a fervent sermon. The Hope Rally was very successful, a goodly sum being raised. The weather has proved a handicap to the "cross country auto race" Sunday school contest now in progress. The result of rains and snow, and many of the cars have been stalled in the mud. But the Ford has never stopped. On the first Sunday it got a start of 35 miles, while the other cars sank in the mud, and on last Sunday the Ford increased its start to 85 miles. Mr. D. T. Lynn is driving the Ford for the Athenian Class. The educational conference which we have been conducted here by Bishop Lynn was somewhat hindered on account of the bishop to arrive. His failure was due to the death of Bishop Blackwell. Last Sunday was a glorious day at First Baptist. The early morning prayer meeting was a highly spiritual one.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH REV. RICHARD H. BOWLING, Pastor pastor presented Dr. Channing H. Tobias, who spoke very fluently on "The Supremacy of Christ." The large audience sat with mute interest as this distinguished speaker addressed this great message. The choir deserves credit for the rendition of special selections. At 7:30 p. m., the pastor, Rev. R. H. Bowling delivered an inspiring sermon from the text, Isaiah 22:15, subject: "The Spiritual Cure, for the World's Ills." This message was richly enjoyed by all.

SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH Early morning prayer meeting at Shiloh was a highly spiritual service. During the Sunday school period the lesson was interestingly discussed by the teachers and scholars who profited much thereby. At 11 a. m., Rev. V. V. Stokes metached an eloquent sermon from the subject: "The Means for n Religious Revival—By Whom Shall Jacob Rise," Acts 7:2. The pastor discussed his subject, three heads: his morally, morally, and financially. He reformed to the church on the force and the faith. For the church or rise it must be cleansed and filled with the Holy Spirit, declared the pastor, and it will serve to save sinners only as it is cleared of all hindrances. So long as the Christians mingle with the sinners the church will not perform its full mission of salvation, declared Rev. Stokes. The E. Y. P. U. was well attended. Daniel Webster led the evening discussion. At night, "The Returning Prodigial Son," was the subject of the pastor's sermon from which he gave a stirring message to the society. Prodigial Sons who and Dangler of Writings were there to have preached their anniversary sermon. The lodge made a handsome presentation to the church. Superb music was rendered by the choir. BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH The services were good all day last Sunday. The pastor, who has been absent for the past two or three weeks, working in revivals in both Fredericksburg and Petersburg, filled his pupil and preached a very excellent sermon from the "The Gates of Lord." He spoke with interest as to the many things for which we should rejoice. The congregation seemed to have been greatly benefited. A great many visitors were present last Sunday. Mrs. A. E. Jeffress and her committee have charged the Sunday school Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. m. The choir will render "The Gates Ajar" on Easter Sunday night. EUREKA LODGE OF ELKS LAUNCHES ANOTHER DRIVE Encouraged by the magnanimous success of its membership campaign conducted during the latter part of last year when more than 1000 new members wore added, Eureka Lodge No. 5, I.

HE IS RISEN! 11:30 Sermon by Pastor 7:30 Easter Cantata REV.F.W.JACOBS ACCEPTS CALL TO MONTGOMERY Another one of the very popular ministers of this city is soon to be leaving for another field of labor. Rev. F. W. Jacobs, for more than six years the Associate Pastor of First Baptist Church, has recently accepted a unanimous call to the widely known Dexter Avenue Baptist Church of Montgomery, Ala. So favorably did the Reverend Mr. Jacobs impress this famous congregation, they decided to have him even at the cost of breaking a precedent of forty years. He will be the first pastor of this church in over forty years who had not already received a doctorate in divinity. The Dexter Avenue Church is within one block of the State Capitol Building on the city's main thoroface. It is offering a tempting salary and a beautifully furnished parsonage. With profoundest regrets the First Baptist Church here is relinquishing its Associate Pastor, who during these six years has proved himself an unusually valuable man. He has assisted with the preaching of funerals, the solemnizing of marriages, the visiting of the sick, and the conduct of the regular services. He has also directed the social service program of the church, directly supervising the personnel and the activities of the church's day nursery, kindergarten, ministers study classes, free employment bureau and home for the aged. He has further endeared himself to the church and city by his whole-hearted interest in every community agency for civic and social betterment. His been seized by ministerial clearing which churches have looked for pulpit supplies recommended by Rev. Mr. Jacobs. He has also served as the secretary of the Council of Social Agencies. Year by year he has taken an active part in the canvass for funds for the Community Chest. The various auxiliaries and boards of the First Baptist Church are laying plans for a fitting send-off during the Reverend's final week in the city. He will preach his farewell sermon on Sunday morning, April 25. At present there has been no mention of a successor to Mr. Jacobs A of his qualifications and integrity will be hard to find, it is generally conceded. It is evident that the Dexter Avenue Church of Montgomery knows a good man when she sees one. MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH Services were very impressive on last Sunday. The Sunday school lesson was well explained and the attendance was very good. The banner went to the Young Men's Class. At 11 o'clock, Rev. Wiggins, of Newport News, delivered a wonderful sermon from Matt. 21. At 3 o'clock, Rev. Farvel, of Portsmouth, preached to the Missionary Circle. The Christian Endeavor was well attended, and its members formulated plans for an Easter egg hunt on the church yard on Monday. The pastor preached at night to a very appreciative audience. During a strike of textile workers in Bohemia this season, 14,000 workers were idle.

The germs of pneumonia, influenza and common colds, for example, fall to the sidewalk or the floor. They are ground up in the dust and little children who play on the floor or in the street are especially in danger of infection. Dr. Allen K. Krause, of Johns Hopkins Hospital, commenting on the fact that 2-3 of all children infected with tuberculosis during the first 15 years of life get it between the ages of 3 and 7, says that "in no other way can this fact be accounted for, except that spitting in public places spreads disease." One of the posters being distributed by the Virginia Tuberculosis Association illustrates the little child, who is nearer the side-walks, and therefore in more danger of infection from dried sputum. The slogan above this picture is "ForMY sake don't spit." The Association is also sending out a quantity of literature in connection with Negro Health Week. SECOND SWEET TRIAL BEGINS ON APRIL 5TH SECOND SWEET TRIAL BEGINS ON APRIL 5TH New York, Mar. 29.—Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who has returned to this city from Detroit, Mich., where he has been making arrangements together with Clarence Darrow for the second trial of Dr. and Mrs. Ossian H. Sweet and nine others in the case arising out of the riotous attack on Dr. Sweet's home Last September, reports that April 5, has been tentatively set as the opening date for the second trial. Replacing A rthur Garfield Hays, who is busy with other cases and will be unable to go to Detroit, Thomas W. Chawke, a prominent Detroit criminal attorney, reputed to be the greatest and most successful criminal attorney in Michigan, has been retained and will assist Mr. Darrow in the conduct of the case.

Henry Sweet, brother of Dr. Sweet, is to be the first one of the defendants to face trial, according to Prosecutor Robert M. Toms, and in the event that Henry Sweet is acquitted, or the jury disagrees, it is probable that the cases against the other defendants will be dropped. Besides Mr. Chawke, a local colored attorney, Julian W. Perry, will participate with Mr. Darrow in the defense.

DOUGLASS THEATER OPENING APRIL 5TH On Easter Monday, April 5, 1926, the city of Portsmouth will have to its credit the only all colored playhouses, viz.: "The Douglass Theatre," formerly "The Colonial" on High and Chestnut streets. We are proud to mention that the general manager of this place is Mr. H. W. Swire of Suffolk, Va., the husband of Dr. E. M. Reeves. Mr. Swire is by no means new in this business, having managed the Broadway Theatre in Suffolk for some time. We might add that after our reporter visited the theatre he was somewhat surprised yet glad to note the wonderful improvement he has made in the place, by installing a new heating plant at quite a cost, also had the lobby renovated and best of all had the machine thoroughly overhauled in order to give the public a better picture on the screen. Those of us who know Mr. Swire can truthfully say, that under his management the place will be kept clean and sanitary. We are not going too far in saying that he will give the very best pictures obtainable. Mr. Swire was very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. R. D. Whiting as assistant manager. Mr. Whiting is not a stranger to Portsmouth theatre goers being formerly employed with the Co-operative and various theatres in Portsmouth. He has reported the list of pictures for the opening and we can truthfully say they are first run pictures, never before shown in a Colonial theatre in the city. The opening pictures are: Monday and Tuesday, Gloria Swanson in the "Coast of Folly"; Wednesday and Thursday, Pola Negri in the latest production in the "Charmer"; Friday and Saturday, "The Pony Express," James Cruze's greatest production, featuring Betty Compson with an all star cast.

NOTABLE ART EXHIBITION This is been held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Diton, in Philadelphia, perhaps one of the most noteworthy art exhibitions ever held by a colored women. Lovers of art are singing the misses of Miss Laura Wheeler, a teacher in the Cheyney Training School for Teachers, and art critics of the various city papers are declaring this exhibit to be one of the most creditable held here. Miss Wheeler is exhibiting landscapes, figure studies and portraits, revealing in her portraits her appreciation for light and color, a modern appreciation vibrant with rich pigments. All of Miss Wheeler's works are cleverly done and show careful thought and study. There were on exhibition numerous portraits, particularly portraits of young girls, for it is with young girls that Miss Wheeler most deals in her work. Miss Wheeler began her career as a student in illustration under Henry McCarter at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and after winning a Cresson traveling scholarship in 1914, she spent some time in Europe. During her tuition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, she devoted nearly all of her time to drawing, mainly by being confined principally to her work. French ateliers and to private instruction under the guidance of French painters. In speaking of Miss Wheeler's wonderful exhibits, the art critic of the Public Ledge (Philadelphia) among other things, has this to say: "She works into her brush stroke more than technical knowledge. Shining through the composition and color one senses love for young girlhood. And there is also a certain crisp and welcome accent of racial pride expressed in such well-conceived and gracefully executed portraits as "Dorothy" and in the lovable sensitive characterization of an old colored lady, a portrait which leads one back more than half a century to plantation days. Miss Wheeler is not afraid to tackle the all-important problems of form and construction in the shaping of figures and of heads. There are on exhibition a number of canvases made in the life class at a French academy, and there is an extremely interesting study of the faces in the studio, but the hands of Arab vendors in the Arabian market—the hands that sell and the hands that buy. "The most finished of the portraits are those of 'Dorothy' and the smoothly painted portraits of a young French violinist. The study of the head of a young girl in a red dress, and the full length sketch of the same girl sitting against a yellow dress, back-ground which is reflected provide notes rich in color and interesting both from the human and the technical point of view.

MADAM SUFFOLK, FRANKLIN, NEWPORT NEWS--OTHER VIRGINIA NEWS Suffolk, Va.—We, over here, are trying to do the right thing at the right place, at the right time, and in the right spirit. If you have wanting for this page, don't think that you will offend me by sending right into the office. In last week's issue appeared two sweet memories of their departed ones. I very sincerely thank you for your requests for this office. I am here to serve. The little fire that threatened the destruction of Mr. Oakley Kelley's home, in Polk street, Sunday morning, was soon put out by our ever helpful fire department, and Mr. Kelley sustained but little loss. Everything was fully covered by insurance. Here is a good lesson for all of us to always be prepared for fire. Some of our readers have called themselves a bit frightened because I have been telling, in this column, that some of their parish and friends have been ill. What difference does it make, since you find it out? And then, too, some object because our State Health Department publishes that all diseases are curable except old age and diabetes. That is to say, they are non-preventable. This leads me to say that if you will not advertise on this page, you will have to pay for the others who do advertise. Will you get their business before the buying public before you awake? Easter interest is growing in this city. All churches have about prepared for it. Palm Sunday was most interestingly observed at the Universal Church. Mr. W. V. Biges had charge of the Sunday school, which was largely attended. The Rev. Dr. W. R. Ashburn, the "Twin Lecturer," on the "Seventy-two Kinds of Women and One Hundred Kinds of Men," was in the city the other day. He is making good and knows how. He advertises his business.

Services over the body of the late Mitsa Eva Lawrence, who died at her home in Lloyd street, were held at the Pleasant Union Baptist Church, in Boston, on Wednesday afternoon. Our young female director, W. H. Reid, had charge of the body. Mrs. James Johnson, of Day St., was called to Baltimore, Md., on Monday on account of the sudden illness of her son, Charlie Johnson, who is somewhat improved. Mrs. Julia P. Bell, Pine street, has been confined to her bed for several days. She is convalescing. Mrs. D. W. Lee has so far recovered that she is able to be out and look after her Beauty Parlor. Have you seen Purnear. I n a Cafe? It is in East Washington street. Some of our advertisers are off this week, but keep your eyes on this page for their return. I am sure that you will be glad to learn that Mrs. Fannie Colden, who has been very ill at her home in N. Main street, is improving. CARD OF THANKS We thank our many friends who so kindly kept themselves with us during the illness, and the death of our dear father, Matthew Boone so, who died March 23, 1926 Your deep sympathy and Christian loyalty, and ever abiding friendship; your flowers and all favors will ever be most highly appreciated.

The citizens of the town rallied energetically to do all possible to aid the Hampton Institution and on the table a contribution of $150.00. The program was very attractive, particularly so was the number rendered by the children of the Home. For more than six months the Weaver Orphan Home has been conducting a campaign to raise $5,000 to pay off the indebtedness of the institution in order that its plan of expansion might be carried out. The latter is very urgent because of the fact that a number of orphans there are applied to the Home for admission and had to be turned away on account of no accommodations. Mrs. Maud Weaver, Winston, who is the field agent of the institution, has conducted the campaign virtually unassisted. She has covered several miles on foot in the various cities of the State interviewing various organizations and groups, putting before their leaders the needs of the Orphan Home and reminding the public of its obligations to charity. Since October she has succeeded in raising $2,200 toward the $5,000 goal. Mrs. Winston states that $1,900 more is needed and it is the hope of herself and Rev. and Mrs. A. B. Weaver, founders of the Home, to raise this latter amount by June 27, the anniversary of the institution. Another of the pressing needs of the Home of which Mrs. Weaver desires the public to know, is a telephone. The grounds of the institution are located quite some distance from the heart of the town of Hampton and positioned in getting quick communication from there to the city. Negotiations for installing a telephone have been underway for some time, but officials of the Home have been informed by the telephone company that 18 telephone posts will have to be set from the nearest post already standing to the Home, for which the company makes a request for the 18 RSIR posts. Mrs. Winston kindly asks the post to donate these posts, any organization or individual may make a donation and call it a telephone post for Weaver Orphan Home.

NEGRO IN SOUTH WILL WIN OUT SAYS JOHNSON Secretary N. A. A. C. P. Concludes Tour of South With Optimistic Forecast Of Race's Possibilities. New York, Mar. 26.—Returned today from a Southern tour, during which he spoke at four Universities in Southern States, Jas Whelon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, declared that his observations of Southern conditions led him to the conclusion that the Negro could not fail to "win out." During Mr. Johnson's tour he spoke at Shaw university in Raleigh, N. C.; at Virginia, N. I., and I. L., Virginia, Va.; at Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn.; at Kittrell College, in Kittrell, N. C. Mr. Johnson also addressed the N. A. A. C. P., at Raleigh and the Young Men's Civic and Welfare Club in Knoxville, which gave a dinner in his honor. Conditions Acute "In many parts of the South," said Mr. John-On, "conditions seem to be more acute than they have been between the races. Thus, in Virginia the passage of the 'race purity' bill is one sign of this acute tension. And in Chattanooga, Tenn., plans were under way for the passage of a 'zoning law,' whose obvious intention was to segregate colored people from white in the residence districts. There is no question that humiliating discrimination, large and petty, still obtains throughout the South. But the governor finds the taper of the colored people themselves has become firmer and more uncompromising and this perhaps accounts in part for the present acute situation. Encouraging Signs "The most encouraging experiences and observations accorded me in the Southern colleges I visited. The youth of the race, in these colleges have lost much of the suprersensitivity which Negroes have had about white people's opinion of them. The young colored youth in the colleges seem to be more concerned with what they are and intend to do and be than with mere approbation of their white environment. That is a very vital omen for the future self-reliance and development of the race in America. "I visited the University of N.C. during my southern tour, and there is no doubt that this, the greatest and most modern Southern institutions, is a focus for more liberal thought and more liberal influence than any other Southern institution or locality. They are making there an intelligent and frank study not only of race relations but of the Negro, what he is, has done and what he means to the South and to the Nation. In the Department of Research of the University of North Carolina. I met a young white man who was making a study of the economic and commercial development of the Negro in the South. He had begun by taking up Durham, which is among the foremost communities in the country demonstrating and exemplifying the progress of the Negro economically and commercially.

And whatever trials await him in the future, he is now getting money, his children are getting education, his home and his social life are developing.

The West Virginia State School for Negroes was organized as a result of the passage of the Seed-Morrill Act of 1890. During February, 1915, the State Legislature authorized its present name and provided for the organization of it. In 1919, two students received their bachelor's degree, the first products of the reorganization. Some doubt was originally ex- passed as to the success of the colle- giate endeavor because of an indifference to college training among the rank and file of the graduates from Colored High Schools in the State, and also because of the dearth at that time of bona file Junior and Senior High Schools. The soundness of this doubt is emphatically disproved, however, by the following enrollment table showing the increasing number of students enrolled in the several college courses (Arts, Science, Normal, Business Administration, Home Economics, Agriculture, Mechanical Arts): 1920-1921 43 1921-1922 90 1922-1923 140 1922-1924 200 1924-1925 240 1924-1926 320 Kittrell College Kittrell, March 24—During the early part of February, a few members of the Kittrell College Alumni met at the home of President and Mrs. Edwards for the purpose of discussing the publication of an Alumni Journal.

Negro Soldiers To Have Monument (By Proston News Service) Chicago, Ill. Mar. 27.-After a fight which has ebbed and waned for three years, former State Representative George Kersey, who is now seeking re-election from the Third Senatorial district, found his dreams coming true in the action of the South Park Commissioners of this city who have just voted to grant a site at the intersection of Grand Boulevard and Thirty-fifth street, described by many as one of the most beautiful in Chicago, for the erection of a monument to the fallen heroes of the Eighth Illinois Infantry regiment, known as the 870th during the war. Thirty thousand dollars have been made available for construction. Mr. Kersey, when he was a representative, introduced the bill, authorizing the erection of the monument, but until this past week was unsuccessful in getting the park commission to O. K. a site. Twice before the commission had voted, each time unfavorably. Students of the University of the Phillipines, Manila, have petitioned, for a five-day weekly schedule in order that Saturday may be devoted to athletic and social activities.

Three silveroving cups offered to the cities first, second and third respectively in the contest. Since the bureau first offered these awards they have served to stimulate a new civic pride in the cities entering the contest. Cities that have won the prizes in the past and cities that have not hereofo entered the contest have signified their intention to capture one of the awards this year. Baltimore, rated first in 1925, is again out for the largest trophy. But Louisville, Ky., which in 1925 was a close second, is determined to carry on the record byording to James Bond who is directing a campaign in that city, Wichita, Kansas, was third last year and expects to move up this year. Other cities seeking honors include Atlanta, Ga., rated first in 1922 and 1923; Cincinnati, Ohio, first in 1924; Jacksonville, Fl., Durham, N. C., and others. The suggestion has been made by Dr. Bond that arrangements he made for offering state prizes on a basis similar to that on which the present municipal prizes are offered. He warns "that Kentucky will take it the first time and for all time, for we are covering the state with organization waging an intensive campaign with a number of communities prizes are offered to various organizations and individuals for work done in promoting more Negro health. Cities entering the contest are urged by the committee in charge at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., to send in a carefully prepared and detailed report of the activities of National Health Week. These reports will be submitted to a competent group of judges who will rate the cities. The awards will be presented to representatives of the cities at the 26th annual meeting of the National Negro Business League in Cleveland, Ohio, during August. HERTZOG POLICY OF SEGREGATION NOW IN AFRICA BY DANIEL W. CHASE New York, March 26—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has received from England a clipping quoting the Round Table on the Negotiation policy inaugurated by General Hertzog against the natives of South Africa. T h e "Round Table" says in part: "General Hertzog's policy of segregation, as expounded in general terms, was that areas should be set apart as native areas in which the native should live and 'develop along his own lines.' He would have in these areas a gradually increasing amount of responsibility for the administration of his local affairs, and he would be subject to no restriction as to what occupation he might come out of. If, however, he chose to work in European areas, he would be prohibited from acquiring land, and would be subject to restrictions in regard to industrial occupations, intended to debar him from competing with the white man in skilled and semi-skilled work. "So much for the territorial and industrial side of the policy. Politically it involves the exclusion of the native from the parliamentary and every other franchise throughout the Union. Whether native voters who are at present on the roll in Cape Province are to be removed, or whether the exclusion is to apply only to new applicants is not clear, and compaction for this, anous voters throughout the Union are to be allowed to elect seven members to the Union House of Assembly—one in the Orange Free State and two in each of the other provinces. "These seven, who are to be Europeans, are to have exactly the same rights and privileges as other members of the House, except that they will not be allowed to take part in any discussion on the question of native representation. The colored man, on the other hand—that is, the man of mixed race and the Cape Malays and those descended from that stock—will be treated, as regards political and other rights, on the same footing as those on whom whatever may be thought of these White men may be thought of these criticism from more than one point of view—it cannot be denied that they mark an epoch in the history of the Native Question in South Africa." GIRL KILLS FATHER (For Associated Negro Press.) New Orleans, Mar. 30.—A confession that she shot and killed her father has been made to the police by Thelma Dabon, 19-year-old girl. The body of Arthur Dabon was found in Sunday night with shot gun in close proximity. The girl said she shot her father because he scolded her for going out nights. A 12 story building to be erected in Shanghai will have banks and stores on the ground floor and department stores, offices and flats above. STATE WELFARE PROGRAM·MUST INCLUDE ALL Interracial Message Carried To Leaders In Alabama Social Work. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Mar. 25.—Two hundred representatives of Alabama welfare agencies were present here Tuesday at the annual meeting of the State Interracial Committee, held in connection with the State Council of Welfare Agencies, of which the Committee is a part. After a business meeting of the Committee, welfare agencies were interracial co-operation were heard from various places in the State, the Council of Welfare Agencies held its own annual interracial session, presided over by Dr. Dumar Hunt Ogden, of Montgomery, chairman of the Interracial Committee. Addresses were delivered by Dr. Ogden, Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. W. W. Alexander, president of Interracial Commission, all emphasizing the importance of seeing that colored people are given equal consideration in every state and community welfare program. Welfare Worker The audience, which composed of juvenile court judges, probation officers, representatives of health and educational agencies, heads of community chests and other welfare workers, was deeply impressed. Many came forward at the conclusion to express their hearty interest and to pledge their purpose to carry out as fully as possible the ideals expressed by t h e speakers. Since these people represent the State in social and welfare work, it is believed the effect of the meeting will be general and far-reaching, working out through many of the established agencies in the promotion of education, health, child welfare, justice, courts, the care of dependents, etc. The prospects of a general and effective interracial program in Alabama are thought to be better than ever before in the history of the movement. Good work is now being done in a number of communities, Mobile and Selma heading the list. Bagnall Delivers Six Lectures At Cornell Robert W. Bagnall, Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, on Saturday and Sunday, March 20 and 21, delivered six lectures at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, on the following subjects: "Will Segregation Solve the Race Problem?", "The Myth of Race Superiority", "The Negro's Contribution to American Life", "Pascu-Science and t h e Negro", and "The Negro in Art and Literature." The meetings, which were attended by both men and women students, at the University, were forum type, questions being freely asked. The addresses by Mr. Bagnall were enthusiastically received and those in charge stated their belief that they would have a profound effect upon the attitude of the young students. Mr. Bagnall has been invited to return to the University next year for another series of lectures. EQUALITY DRIVE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SESQUI Boston, Mass., Mar. 30.—That the appeal of righteous sentiment has ever been utilized by successful reformers, even that of moral consistency when anniversaries of great civic events are at hand, attaining the oppressed and shaming into redress the oppressors, is the keynote of a "Call to the race for a drive for Equality" issued today by the National Equal Rights League with reference to the prodigious American celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence this coming July. The League would have the race realize that the country's fundamental document is perfect for its cause. "All men born free and equal endowed, by Creator with unalienable rights of life, liberty—Governments derive just rights from consent of the terminated—aggramently violated, Americans will never be so plausible in the lives of persons now living at this sesqui-centennial of the Declaration. Hence, urges the League, there is no time to lose in putting it up to America effectively to cease color discrimination, in direct violation of the Declaration. The League's plan enables every religious and secular race body to act by formation of Declaration of Independence. *Patriotic Committees for agitation,* *Communities in the bodies and Churches. Equal Rights Leagues are also urged to act. The historic fact that Colored Americans helped bring the Declaration to pass, make it a reality, and preserve it, gives final argument for the enforcement of "OH, HOW MUCH GOOD IT DID MY FACE!"

Jordan Dies Philadelphia, Pa.—On Thursday, March 25, Mrs. L. G. Jordan was buried from Union Maptist Church. She was the wife of Rev. L. G.

Fla., Mar. 30.—Gov. John W. Martin is in receipt of a communication signed by prominent citizens of Ocala, Winter Park, Orlando, Tampa a n Gainesville, requesting a meeting investigation of the lynching of Chandler Colding near Ocala on January 11th, order that the true facts may be given out and that any parties found guilty may be punished accordingly." Among the persons are: J. H. Therrell, president of the Ocala Chamber of Commerce; Frank Harris, editor Ocala Banner; Bishops Cameron Mann and John D. Wing L. C. Massey, of the State Bank, Orlando; D. B. McKay, publisher Tampa Times; J. M. Farr, L. M. Bristol, C. L. Crowe, and J. R. Benton, of the State University, Gainesville; Mrs. G. W. Atkinson of Tampa, and Mrs. U. G. Swartz and Mrs. A. T. Guy, of Gainesville. The letter calls the Governor's attention to the report that the officers in charge of Colding made no effort to protect him from the mob, expresses the conviction that "lynching is under no circumstances that affair be investigated in order that justice may be meted out to those found responsible for Colding's death. a lovely, soft, velvety skin—the blotches and tan marks vanish, pimples clear up, the skin becomes clearer and lighter and the excessive oil which causes "shine" disappears.

The statesmanship of the South has fallen very low and been greatly discredited when Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Senator Blease of South Carolina and Senator Heflin of Alabama can be regarded as its outstanding representatives and spoken m. As Senators in Congress they seldom show talents above those of county politicians. The death of Col. John C. Coolidge, the aged father of President Coolidge, in his Vermont home, has furnished the occasion for recalling the sterling virtues of the old New Englanders who did so much to make the Republic as great as it is. President Coolidge inherited from his fathers the splendid qualities which we all admire, in spite of the fact that he has not given his Afro-American partisans a square deal. Debts of Honor Before And After Death What is a debt of honor? All legitimate debts, in which gambling debts should not be included but are supposed to be. But real debts of honor are unsecured debts contracted by persons in distress among their friends and those who have supplies, lilies the grocer, butcher and candlestick man. Rev. Richard H. Bowling, in his interesting outgivings, always says something either helpful on illuminating. Readers follow him with interest because they are sure they will instruct and entertain them with new ideas or old ones that are always helpful and therefore always young. Very few have the ability to instruct, amuse or awaken new helpful thoughts in others; but a host man can number think they have it and deluge us with it. In his talk on "Dobts of Honor After Death," Mr. Bowling in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of March 20, said: What is a debt of honor? All legitimate debts, in which gambling debts should not be included but are supposed to be. But real debts of honor are unsecured debts contracted by persons in distress among their friends and those who have supplies, like the grocer, butcher and candlestick man. Rev. Richard H.

Very few have the ability to instruct, amuse or awaken new and helpful thoughts in others; but a host no man can number think they have it and deluge us with it. In his talk on "Debts of Honor After Death," Mr. Bowling in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of March 20, said: "Specific mention should be made in one's will of debts unsecured by note or other written instrument recognized by law. When one's friends have loaned him money and taken no security, save his promise, then his honor is at stake." But millions of people dead and living don't think so. They dodge such obligations as far as they can in their life time and forget them when they come to make a will, if they have anything to bequeath when they come to die. The friend who helps you over a tight place when your property is menaced or when you are out of work and need to be tided over, and the grocer is often called upon to make such accommodation, have the first call on your earnings while you are living and the first mention in your will to be probated after you are dead. But, how many persons look at the matter from this highly honorable viewpoint? If we had all of the money we have handed out in this way to "friends in need," we should be able to buy a very nice and desirable property with it, but we do not expect now to get it while they live or after they are dead. Do we regret it? Why? Out of a good conscience we parted with the "loan," and we have felt satisfied with our part and left the worry with the conscience of the "false friend." We should pay our debts as we expect others to pay us theirs. The business world rests upon credit. Firms known to be bad payers have a time of it, as they are listed and have to pay cash for what they purchase or require in cash in the conduct of their business. They are placed at a great disadvantage, and seldom succeed. Is it not even so with individuals? The person who has no credit with his neighbors and friends will always be found to be a very commonplace person, with little standing and force in his community. And he is a very poor specimen of a person who does not care to stand well in his community with his friends and neighbors. Pay others as you expect them to pay you, and you will always find the going easy. Prohibition Enforcement And Repeal of Prohibition There has been a vast outlay of money and a criminal invasion of personal privileges and immunities in the efforts to enforce the Volstead act, based upon the Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, and there is a general feeling that it has all failed of its primary purpose. Indeed, the belief is general that the vast outlay and criminal invasion have done more to discredit law and law enforcement and to contribute to the unprecedented wave of lawlessness which grips the country than any other agency in the history of American legislation. The abuses of the liquor traffic, the crimes growing out of the saloon, have been outdone by the revolt against the Prohibition enforcement program, the development of bootlegging and the general law enforcement, which has given rise. Primarily the liquor question is a local issue. Unless local opinion favors prohibition of the sale and manufacture of liquors, although proscribed by Federal amendment and legislation, prohibition stands to fail. This in no wise prejudices the fact that the liquor question is one of the most important with which the people have to deal, Editorial Page of and that its control and regulations be such as to protect the public health morals and economic efficiency. Society an inherent right to protect itself in the dangers of such a thing as the industry and the existence of the sale was with this idea that the Journal GUIDE favored local option before theition of the Eighteenth Amendment and stood for the enforcement of the VAct since; but it has always felt the amendment was adopted without give electors of the country a fair chance toister their wills and that the Volunteer was too drastic in its prohibitions and in no wise be enforced without the cooperation of the police authorities; several states in cooperation with of the Federal Government. This cition has not been given because the authorities regard the amendment to invasion of their reserved powers a people have not cooperated because that the amendment abridges and detain of their privileges and immuni. A syndicate of American newspaper taken a poll of more than 1,500,000 on the whole question, and it is found an overwhelming opinion exists for repeal of the Prohibition amendment; technical modifications of the Volstead act question has become a burning one; Federal Congress and several of the and is bound to play a prominent part next Congressional elections. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE does not in the liquor traffic and it is unlaw opposed to a revival of the vile saloon; but it does not feel that Prohibition forcement has fallen down and the friends of temperance should take out of the hands of the Anti-Saloon and other Prohibition fanatics and legislation as will give us the man of protection with a minimum of money and personal privileges and interests, and we are sure that they can and that the people expect them to do.

It was with this idea that the JOURNAL AND GUIDE favored local option before the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment and has stood for the enforcement of the Volstead act since; but it has always felt that the amendment was adopted without giving the electors of the country a fair chance to register their wills and that the Volstead act was too drastic in its prohibitions and could in no wise be enforced without the active cooperation of the police authorities of the several states in cooperation with those of the Federal Government. This cooperation has not been given because the state authorities regard the amendment to be an invasion of their reserved powers and the people have not cooperated because they feel that the amendment abridges and denies certain of their privileges and immunities. A syndicate of American newspapers has taken a poll of more than 1,500,000 people on the whole question, and it is found that an overwhelming opinion exists for either a repeal of the Prohibition amendment or radical modifications of the Volstead act. The question has become a burning one in the Federal Congress and several of the states and is bound to play a prominent part in the next Congressional elections. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE does not believe in the liquor traffic and it is unalterably opposed to a revival of the vile saloon system; but it does not feel that Prohibition enforcement has fallen down and that the friends of temperance should take matters out of the hands of the Anti-Saloon League and other Prohibition fanatics and enact legislation as will give us the maximum of protection with a minimum of cost in money and personal privileges and immunities, and we are sure that they can do it and that the people expect them to do it. Peace of the World Where Is No Peace The dream of world peace remains only a dream. Mankind have been chasing the mirage through the ages and appear to be no nearer to it today than when they began the chase. That is because human nature is built upon warlike lines and cannot be diverted from its natural bent except by world-wide education, and that is difficult of accomplishment because of the multitude of tongues men speak and the multitude of interests which is not possible to submit to the refining process so that they may become common. All the nations of Europe speak different tongues and have conflicting interests, and, as there has been found no peaceful way to fuse the tongues or the interests, wars and rumors of wars checker the history of Europe from the fall of Rome to the fall of Germany, and the Christian Nations were never more warlike and ready for war, as far as the disposition is concerned, than they are today. That is saying much. As it is with Europe so it is with Asia and Africa. Cross purposes, due to differences of language and interests of all sorts, keep the people in a warlike frame of mind, and only a little flame is capable of producing a conflagration like unto the World War. Just now there is a great sit in Europe and America because of the apparent inability of the League of Nations to function along the new lines of diplomacy which were designed to supplant the old lines. The secret as opposed to the open diplomacy still dominates and the strong Nations in alliance still seek advantage of the small Nations. This is strictly the human way. The Locarno treaties were hailed a short time ago as a distinct advance towards the peace of the world, but when the League of Nations met at Geneva last week it was discovered that these treaties were based upon secret undertakings prejudicial to the interests of Germany and other powers, and the admission of Germany as a member of the League, upon the objection of Brazil, until the September meeting, upset the program and threatens the life of the League. It appears to be a fortunate thing that the United States did not become a member of the League of Nations and that our best interests will be served by not becoming a member, but rather by the creation of a league of the Occidental States, our nearest friends and neighbors. We do not need any entangling alliances with the warring states of Europe, Asia and Africa. Health Week National Negro Health Week observed April 4-10.

The Negro Organization Society of Virginia, which takes the lead in cooperating in health work in this state, calls upon the colored people of Virginia to make it a most thorough and intensive Clean-Up Week. The call should be heeded and carried out in every household, backyard and barnyard. Now, just before the advent of warm weather, if special precautions are taken to destroy the possible breeding places of flies and other disease carrying vermin, much will be accomplished toward reducing summer sickness and death. For the protection of the life and health of babies, small children and even the adult members of the family, it is necessary that each family make every possible effort to rid their premises of flies, to protect their water supply and food from contamination and to rid their homes of whatever dirt that might have accumulated in the corners and crevices during the drab months of winter. During the decade 1912-1922 the life expectancy of colored males at the age of ten increased from 41.32 years to 46.32 years; and the life expectancy of colored females increased from 41.30 to 46.07 years, making an increase of five years in both cases. The latter figures are most encouraging and pliant indicate that longer living absolutely depends upon better living. No longer do we regard diseases as a visitation of Divine displeasure, for science has shown us that sickness is the result of our violation of natural laws and death is so often premature. Clean-up, paint-up, let the sunshine in, make things in and around the home and farm spic and span next week. Of course it is realized that sporadic cleaning once a year serves a small purpose in keeping us healthy—every week should be clean-up week—but it is the educational benefits of the campaign that count. Things around the home are so sweet, and refreshing after a general clean-up, that we are tempted to resort to it more often. THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Joining Many of our folks seem unable to resist the invitation to join. They join lodges, Joining Many of our folks seem unable to resist the invitation to join. They join lodges, insurance companies churches, fraternities, stock companies, what not. The pity of it is that they join, it seems, just to be joining. There is absolutely no sense in the average man being a member of so many different organizations. A. B. C. In the first place, the average man's financial ability does not warrant the consequent outlay in money. Mere protection in case of sickness or accident can cost too much, just as a new dress or a new pair of shoes. You need shoes, but your financial ability must regulate the amount you put in them. You need insurance against accident and sickness, but it is not wise for you to starve yourself or underclothe yourself to pay for it. You make only so much per week or per month. Out of that amount must come not only protection against the rainy day, but sufficient food, adequate clothing, provision for amusement and the things of culture, competence to express your affection for loved ones in gifts at appropriate seasons. In other words, out of the little you make, you must live as well as prepare against the day when life will begin to ebb. No, the average man cannot afford memberships in so many organizations, even if they are "beneficial." And in this matter, the only man who is not an average man is either the man who does not need such provisions against physical disability or the man who becomes a paid officer in everything he joins. Again, the average man cannot get out of so many different organizations one of the main things for which he joined them, fellowship. If only the "beneficial" features prompt one to join a lodge, then he displays poor business judgment, since a good insurance policy is far cheaper than the average fraternal sick and death benefits. One should join a lodge to increase his friendships and to afford opportunity for fellowship in working and planning together. But fellowship requires time. And the average man's time is needed for other things than fellowship in numbers of lodges or other frequently meeting organizations. One reason for increasing number of divorces is that many people have too many outside engagements. It is one thing for a bachelor or a widow or a spinster to have a lodge meeting every night. It is entirely another thing in the case of a married person. Your family also has demands on your time. Your husband or wife needs your companionship, if marriage is to be lasting and happy. Above all, your children need your presence even more than your partner in marriage. Their characters must be shaped, their ideals set up, their religious consciousness quickened. Which things, like fellowship with one's peers, require the intimacy of personal presence, and time, TIME, time. Finally, why join a great number of different orders for the purpose of having great crowds present at your funeral? The trashiest man in town can accomplish the same result that way. Bootleggers, gamblers, prostitutes, grafters, and other indecent parasites in our present social order can have large crowds in attendance at their obsequies following that course. It would pay us to remember, a life of shining service would accomplish the same result without the threat of a fine for non-attendance. A life whose readiness to love and help and fraternize is not limited by correct distress signs, or by class, color, or religion, such a life will draw an uncoerced crowd of truly sorrowing friends. Such a crowd, whether small or mammoth, is a far better register of one's worth. Think before you join, no matter who wants to boost his or her score in a membership contest. a new dress or a new pair of shoes.

Spirit of The Press Blunted Moral Perceptions (From the Raleigh News and Observer) What's the matter with the moral perceptions? After Langley had been convicted of crime, he was re-elected to congress in Kentucky.

Last week Senator Smith was expelled from the Virginia senate and this week, on the petition of a majority of legislators who voted to expel him, the Governor has restored his citizenship. It is said he will run for congress as a "vindication" of his proven wrong-doing. He either ought not to have been impeached or he ought not to be restored to citizenship. Such blowing hot and cold causes the average citizen to lose faith in the proper administration of justice. This "vindicating" business in Texas and Kentucky has already gone to the limit. Is moral turpitude an asset in candidacy for office? It seemed to have been in Texas and in Kentucky. Is that demoralizing contagion to reach Virginia and other states?

When flowers sprang around the broken tomb, On Love's great resurrection Earth trombled as her hope from darkest gloom. Out of the heart of God was born: This was the birth of Spring.

Prevention of Common Colds The infection of the upper respiratory tract—the nose, throat and upper trachea or windpipe, is known by the popular name of Cold. Colds are due to the inhalation of germs, dust particles or poisonous gases. Germs are responsible for over ninety five per cent of all colds. The breathing of air contaminated with irritating gases—conal gas, fumes from oil stoves, or automobiles cause colds frequently. In mines and flour mills where the air is laden with dust, colds are very common among the workmen. The prevention of colds is possible if the proper preventative procedures are followed. Among the conditions that predispose to infections of the upper respiratory tract or the contracting of colds, are: an overworked and undernourished body, diseased tonsils and bad teeth. The body under normal conditions or when healthy, is capable of protecting itself from those germs which cause colds. When due to overwork on undernourishment the body becomes run down, the natural defensive forces are weakened, and less effective in their fight against the invasion of the respiratory apparatus by germs. Diseased tonsils and bad teeth act as depots for the development of poisonous products which circulate in the blood and diminish the resistance of the body. Colds can be prevented by keeping away from people who have colds, especially during the "flu" epidemics. Keep your body built up by eating nutritious foods, by sleeping eight hours and by exercising outdoors in the sunshine everyday. Live and work in well ventilated rooms. Windows should be open at least twice a day, even during the winter for complete change of air. Keep your feet dry. An extra pair of shoes and hose will add to your health and comfort when you are caught without rubbers. Always cool off gradually, if you are perspiring, an electric fan or a cool breeze may start a cold. Have diseased toils treated and if necessary removed. Fill bad teeth and remove those which are beyond repair. Breathe through your nose. Air is filtered as it passes along the nasal passage on its way to the lungs. The mouth breather takes an excessive number of germs directly into his throat. When working in mines or factories where the air is laden with dust, a mask should be worn. If this is not at hand a Present Your Bodies A Living Sacrifice BY R. A. ADAMS Apropos, at this sacred season is Paul's admonition to the Roman Christians, "Present your bodies a living sacrifice." A better translation is, present yourselves—place your all on the altar. In the very nature of the case, a sacrifice must be presented, tendered, for God does not take forcible possession of anything which is ours. It is also true that a living sacrifice has preeminence over a dead sacrifice, once offered, for a living sacrifice means a continuous offering. This continuous offering or living sacrifice to God means that one shall deny himself everything that would hinder service to God; a contribution of whatever we may possess that might be used for advancement of His Kingdom; the consecration of talent, power, influence and all of our capabilities to Him and His cause; and to endure all sufferings which may result from these rather than to be disloyal to God. In this matter as in all things Jesus Christ is our Great Exemplar, for His was at once the most extensive and the most willing sacrifice ever made for mankind. A good interpretation of this passage would be, "Let us draw nigh to God; let us deny ourselves any and everything that would retard spiritual growth; let us crucify all carnal desires which are out of harmony with spiritual interests; let us consecrate ourselves anew, to God!" Yes, this is the season to think of sacrifice! The Spirit of Forgiveness Perhaps no requirement of Christianity is more difficult than the forgiveness of injuries deliberately and maliciously inflicted, but it is possible if we believe with Paul, "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me." Knowing this paramount difficulty, Jesus taught forgiveness both by precept and example. He taught His disciples to pray, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." In answer to the question "How often shall I forgive my brother, until seven times? He said, "Not only seven times but seventy times seven; and He most emphatically declared, "Unless ye forgive men their trespasses neither will your Father in heaven forgive you your trespasses." Then, as in all things else, Jesus taught by example. He forgave impulsive, unstable Peter; He forgave and comforted Thomas the doubter; then, with His dying breath He forgave His enemies who had crucified Him and prayed the Father to forgive them. During this holy season, while we contemplate the death of Jesus and His triumphant resurrection, God grant that we may have faith, courage and humility to forgive our enemies, as did our illustrious example, who amid deepest agony, prayed with His dying breath, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Saving the Children There are those who discredit the efforts to save children—to persuade them to become Christians, but theirs are mistaken conceptions, for saving the soul, in this way means saving a life for the service of God and humanity. It is possible to save a soul after life has been wasted and there remains no more an opportunity for service, but in the extension of the Kingdom of God, it means more to save the life for service in the cause of human betterment. The religion of Jesus Christ for the child is the very best and most reliable insurance against the dangers of sin—a gainst drunkenness, disgrace, shame, crime, penal servitude, and perhaps the gallows or the electric chair. Jesus commanded, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven"; and this is sufficient warrant for making efforts to save the children. At this time there is no wet handkerchief placed around the nose and mouth will often suffice. Always see that your gas jets are completely closed before going to bed. Do not keep the garage door closed while working on a running gasoline motor. Do not heat your room with gas fumes from an open furnace. The common cold is responsible for a greater economical loss to the working man than any other sickness. Further, frequent colds, weaken the resistance of the body and make it an easy prey to other diseases, such as, pneumonia, tuberculosis, typhoid and a host of others. If after complying with the above rules, you persist in catching colds, consult your physician.

Mr. Rockefeller's Christianity Mr. John D. Rockefeller is reported to have said, "Christianity means to get all that you can out of the world—and whether the report is true or not, it is evident that the selfish rich are acting in keeping with this distorted view of Christianity. This definition fits into the scheme of those who would give themselves over to Epicureanism, fill to overflowing their cup of carnal enjoyment and that with the utmost indifference to the welfare of others; but it falls far short of the true conception of the system. Get all you can out of the world means to make selfish interests, selfish gain and worldly enjoyment things paramount. It means, in common parlance, Get all you can for yourself and let others be damned!

Whereas the 18th Amendment Religious And S Other MAUD NATHAN In the Outlook First of all, I protest against the implication that Catholics and Jews cannot have one hundred per cent American minds. The Jews came over to America with Columbus, and Columbus came from a Catholic country, so it would seem that if any followers of the three dominant religious could be looked upon as intruders it would be the Protestants! As for the statement that no Gentiles can get into a Jewish club, I would retort that the Jewish people were forced to organize social clubs of their own because they were shut out of Gentile clubs. To claim that the That Investme By WILLIAM PICKENS (For A. N. P.) Liberia failed to get a five million dollar loan from the United States government, and we thought that the failure was good luck for Liberia; for a loan by a big government to a little one is like a loan from a corporation to a small politician—that is, the loan is a purchase. But after good luck saved Liberia from being strangled by $5,000,000 from Congress, the little republic decided to be choked to death by $100,000,000 from the Firestone Rubber Company, an American corporation with less heart and soul than American politicians. It seems that little fellows like Liberis, when they get hungry, cannot resist temptation. Haiti's experiences were no lesson to Liberia. If the Firestone Company invests $100,000,000 in Liberia, this company will be the de facto government there; the Liberian government will not even be de jure but only de nomine. The American gun must always follow the American dollar. That is really what American guns are made for. Now we hear that good luck, or horse sense, is about to save Liberia again and from this is out of harmony with the teachings and the example of Jesus Christ the founder of Christianity who expressly enjoined "Let him deny himself, and, "He who would be chieftain among you let him be the servant." Of Jesus Christ it is written, "He gave His life a ransom for many." Of Himself, He declared: "I lay down My life for the sheep." Those who have followed Him footsteps most closely and when it has been to confer upon mankind the greatest blessings have been those who accept the doctrine of Paul the apostle. It is more blessed to give than to receive. We are commemorating the giving of the life of the Son of God for the world, manifesting our gratitude for His vicious sufferings and sacrificial death and this is a very appropriate time to understand that Christianity means to give—to give the best we have and, if necessary, to give life itself. to the Constitution of the United States, with its various enforcement acts, the Volsieed, Layman, etc., have closed licensed lumber rooms, distilleries, etc., making it a crime or misdemeanor for any person or persons to manufacture whiskey, brandies, gin, beer, wine or any kind of intoxicating drinks or to buy, sell, transport or to have in one's possession any intoxicating drinks: And whereas some churches are using fermented wines for sacramental purposes, made by church members or bought by church members from non-church members, who are violators of the law, both statutory and divine: And whereas the use of such wine makes the elders, pastors officers of the church using it guilty of violating the law: Therefore, be it resolved that the elders, pastors, officers, etc. eliminate fermented wines from their sacramental services, as a means of conforming with the law.

Annual Conference Wakefield, Va. blame for intolerance and bigotry rests on the Catholics and Jews, who are in the minority, is to place the cart before the horse. Mr. Seitz writes, "We have been broad and liberal in granting equal rights and more than equal opportunities." Who are meant by the pronoun me? I was under the impression that all the citizens of the United States were born free and equal. There can be no question of granting equal rights and opportunities to some of the citizens by others, who because they are in the majority assume a superiority which in a democracy is a species of insolence. greater menace, and that the proposition to let the Firestone Company invest $100,000,000 in Liberian liberties is being held up by some rebels in the Liberian legislature. We shall see. One hundred million dollars is a hard thing to refuse—even when we are not going to get any of it, but are to have the sole privilege of seeing it spent. We hate evil predictions, but predictions never change anything. If they miss, they miss. They may foretell but cannot foreordain. We predict: If Liberia lets Firestone in now, within a generation the two hottest-and-scorchingest and hardest-and-roughest words in all Liberian vocabulary will be FIRE and STONE.
