Messick, of Vice Squad, Said To Have Made Unwarranted Attack On James Williams CHARGES FILED WITH THE CITY MANAGER A more flagrant and unwarranted case-of a policeman using brutal tactics in making an arrest is baldness heard of than that charged officer F. D. Messick, of the vice head, by a number of reputable white citizens, who claim to have been eye witnesses to Messick's mercifully beating James Williams with the butchery his family had done while in the act of assaulting the man. Charges of assaulting a prisoner under arrest have been laid before City Manager Trutxun against the officer upon the institution of these citizen. According to statements of these persons who say they witnessed the alleged attack upon Williams by Officer Messick, the former was observed coming a running from toward the foot of West Plum street with the policeman in pursuit. The officer was commanding the being man to halt or "if I whistle" When the "man" reached an alley in the rear of the Royse building he ducked into this alley, pulled a half-pint bottle of vinegar from his pocket and smashed it against an automobile, thus destroying the evidence. At this time the policeman, a policeman and with his pistol of his pistol delivered a stunning blow on the man's head. Defenseless, Williams is said to have thrown up his hands in a futile effort to ward off the blows the officer continued to rain on his scalp with the weapon. The vice squadmen, who were accompanying Messick, Sergeant Moore and Officer O'Brien, ran up and pinioned the man's hands behind him. Says Man Hit Him A Naval officer, connected with the Recruitment Station on West Plume street, street who witnessed the incident, stated that it was one of the most brutal things he has ever and the misfortune to witness. It is said this Naval Officer, seeing the fleeing man and pursuing policeman, had followed them to see what was happening, ran up and asked Messick why did he strike the fleeing man, informing the policeman that his attack was brutal and that the charges against him for striking a defenseless victim. Messick is said to have replied, "Well, he hit me with a bottle." The Naval officer is said to have told Messick that that statement was untrue, because he had witnessed the whole affair. Another prominent white man said he witnessed the incident from window in the Royster building that looks out upon the alley, charges to file against the policeman. He has secured the names of several other white persons who declare they saw it, and are willing to appear as prosecuting witnesses against Messick whenever called upon. These people who have intered in the matter state that they do not condone the violation of the law by the man who had a witness in his possession, that they are determined to do whatever in their power to do that justice is done in the case and police brutality exposed and punished. When arraigned on a Layman set charge in Police Court Wednesday morning Williams was sent on the Corporation Court. It is said to have required thirteen attaches to close the wound on his head made by the beating the policeman gave him.

(Washington, D. C. Apr. 7—As the dates for the various primaries draw close, Republican senators, whose terms will expire on March 3, 1927, are worried over the Negro vote in their respective states. They are being assailed because of the failure of the Negro as a group to receive favorable consideration in either matters of legislation or appointments to Federal offices. favorable considera ion and report The matter now is in the hands of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. Senator McKinley is not a member of that committee. He has done all apparently he can do until that committee acts and reports it to the Senate for passage.

Humphreys of Iowa; Charles Curtis of Kansas; George H. Williams, of Missouri, and O. E. Weller, of Maryland. Senators have become active in the interest of their colored constitutents. Senators McKinley Watson and Peper have sought McKinley Assailed The first Senator, who has had to combat such an attack, is William B. McKinley, who is being opposed in the Illinois primary by Frank L. Smith. Since he has been in the Senate, Senator McKinley has voted favorably on every question of special interest to the Negro, but he is being held responsible for the failure of Congress to enact any legislation especially benefiting colored persons. Senator McKinley has met attack by citing his record which includes support of the Dyer anti-lynching bill when that measure was killed by the Senate by a Democratic filibuster; leadership in the fit for the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen to be controller of customs at New Orleans, La., and introduction of an anti-lynching bill in this session of Congress. Dyer Defends McKinley Denial of the charge that Senton McKinley had not been as active in support of the anti-lynching bill as he could have been was made last week by Representative L. C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, who introduced the same anti-lynching bill in the House. Mr. Dyer said: "Senator McKinley introduced the anti-lynching bill in the Senate at the beginning of this session of the Congress and shortly thereafter urged a public hearing which was held February 16. He appeared before the committee and urged CELEBRATING CELEBRATING ANNIVERSARY P.

He has done all apparently he can do until that committee acts and reports it to the Senate for passage." Other Senators Other Senators, who must meet this same line of attack, include Senators James E. Watson and A. R. Robinson, of Indiana; George Wharton Pepper, of Pennsylvania; Albert B. Cummings, of Iowa; Charles Curtis, of Kansas; George H. Williams, of Missouri, and O. E. Weller, of Maryland. Senators have become active in the interest of their colored constituent. Senators McKinley and Watson and Pepper, of Missouri, and pointmen are colored man from their respective states as Register of the Treasury. Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon is said to have refused to agree to any such appointment. Urge Race Appointments Senators McKinley and Wattson have also urged the appointment of one of their colored constituents to the office of Recorder of Decies of the District of Columbia, which is now being filled by Arthur G. Froe, of West Virginia. Senator McKinley, who is an administration Senator, believes that he will name the next appointee to this office. Senator Watson is supporting Ernest G. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind. Representative Philip Hill who is opposing Senator Weller for the Republican nomination in the Senate into the light for the Recordship when he recently visited the White House and presented the name of Warner T. McGuinn, of Baltimore. It is said that Senator Pepper, who is being opposed by Governor Gifford Pinchot and Representative William S. Vare for the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania will secure the appointment of two colored men as assistant United States attorneys in his state, one at Philadelphia and the other at Pittsburgh. The date of the Illinois primary is April 13. The Indiana primary will follow on May 4, and the Pennsylvania primary on May 18.

Mr. Rogers On consulting the Best's Insurance Guide for 1925—world recognized authority—I found this colored firm, which is perhaps the only one of its kind, had been given the highest possible rating for paying its fire losses. In management, it received a rating equal with scores of leading white firms, one of which has been in operation more than a century. Among these are: the Central Fire of Baltimore, 1865; Detroit Fire and Marine, 1866; Stuyvesant Fire of New York, 1850; Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, 1874; and the Engle Star of London, England with assets of five million.

Sledge in compliment to a group of ministers of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, who were returning to their hometown from the conference which was held in Norfolk Va. Bishop R. A.

In his response he attacked segregation and the use of photographs in connection with civil service appointments. He is a candidate for reelection to Congress from the first congressional district of Michigan. Wins Suit For Mother-in-law's Death (Br. Associated Nerro Press) Sutterton, MA. M. V.

MONUMENT IN FRANCE TO RACE SOLDIERS URGED Congressman Hamilton Fish Advises Colored Citizens To Write To Republican Leaders For Action On Bill. New York, April 7—Declaring that the monument proposed to be erected in France to the colored American soldiers who were attached to the French army during the world war, constituted the best possible answer to the slanderous attack on the record of colored soldiers published by General Robert E. Lee Bullard, Congressman Hamilton Fish jr., who is fighting for the monument in Congress, has written the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urging all colored citizens to support his bill. The letter says in part: "There is plenty of time to have this bill enacted into the law if the colored people throughout America will only write to their senators and congressmen urging them to get busy and help by requesting the Republican leaders, such as Speaker Nicholas Longworth, John Tilson, the Majority Leader, William Wood, Chairman of the Congressional Committee, Martin Madden, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations and Bertram Snell, chairman of the Committee on Rules, to bring the bill up immediately for consideration, and a vote in the House of Representatives. The bill will pass by a big majority if the Republican leaders will permit it to come to a vote, and they will act favorably if they realize that the colored people of America are earnest and warriors commemorate the valiant services of the 193rd Division, many of whom paid the supreme sacrifice. The casualties including the dead and wounded in these four regiments amount to forty per cent. Three out of four of these regiments had their flags decorated with the French war cross. "The 369th was a volunteer regiment from New York; the 370th, another volunteer regiment from Chicago; the 371st was a drafted regiment from the South, and the 372nd was a battalion from Ohio; one from Washington, D. C., and separate companies from Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maryland. "It seems to me that it is the duty of all colored people who are proud of the heroic conduct of these regiments on the battle fields of France to show the members of Congress that they are united in wanting this bill passed immediately and thereby not only do honor to these courageous soldiers, but by an Act of Cogress wipe out a most unjust discrimination." Ready for the Old Dominion State Dental Association Announcement is made by the local committee arranging for the thirteenth annual session of the Old Dominion State Dental Association which convenes in this city April 15 and 16, that the arrangements are complete and everything is in readiness for the entertainment of the visitors.

FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS IN BEHAL CTIONS LABORERS ARE WARNED TO SHUN DETROIT Employment Situation In Automobile Factory City Is Acute, Says Associated Negro Press In Warning. EMPLOYMENT OFFICES DOING BIG BUSINESS Colored laborers, who will become possessed of the wanderlust during the approaching balmy days, are warned by the Associated Negro Press not to go to Detroit looking for jobs, for there are no jobs there to be had. The warning says, all who journey to Detroit at this particular time in search of work are doomed to utter disappointment, for the employment situation in this city is very bad at present. Despite the fact that there are more than a dozen automobile factories and hundreds of other big manufacturing of which employ from ten to thirty thousand men, there seem to be too many people for the work. The supply of workers both skilled and unskilled, colored and white, seems to be far greater than the demand. While, apparently, there has been no great amount of undue suffering, as far as can be learned, during the past winter, due to the lack of employment, it is at the same time pathetic to see the thousands of men who are out of work here, going daily to the employment departments of the various industrial plants seeking work. To the casual observer, this great army of unemployed is just men going to work because they make their working hours; but to the initiated, they can be seen standing in line a hundred deep, or crowded into a small waiting room, hunting work. In either case, they must single file and march, as it were, past the employment supervisor's window and ask for a job, while all that official does is stand there and shake his head, "No," to each man; and they pass out and on to the next place. At hundreds of plants great crowds can be seen each morning. At some of the plants where they have no employment office, a crowd congregates around the entrance gate to wait for the official to come out to announce whether or not any men are needed; and they literally fight for front and rear rooms, whose crowds will be found men of almost nationalities. All day long there is a steady stream pouring into the numerous public employment offices, who charge as high as six dollars for a job. WANT ACTION BY CONGRESS ON MEMORIAL HALL The National Memorial Association is active in endeavoring to bring pressure to bear upon Congress to grant the necessary appropriation and permission for the erection of a National Memorial in the form of a beautiful building in Washington, D. C., as a fitting tribute to the patriotism, bravery and loyalty of the Negro soldiers and sailors who have served in all the wars in "which the United States has been engaged. Bill Introduced At the request of the association a bill has been offered in the House of Representatives by Honorable William R. Wood, of Indiana, and in the United States Senate by Senator William B. McKinley, of Illinois, to "create a commission to secure plans and designs for and to erect a monument or memorial building in the city of Washington to the memory of the Negro soldiers and sailors who fought in the wars of the country and in the late world war." The bill has the endorsement of numerous prominent people in official and private life, among whom are Senator George Wharton Peng- Bill Introduced Primary Brief Fred C.

WILSON MAY SUSPEND HIS OWN LODGE WILSON MAY SUSPEND HIS OWN LODGE Grand Exalted Ruler Of Elks At Cross Purposes With Columbia Lodge In Which He Holds Membership. Washington, D. C., April 7—Columbia Lodge No. 88, improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elder of the World, is threatened with extinction. J. Finney Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, last Wednesday ordered the lodge to show cause within ten days why it should not be suspended from the order for contempt. The Charge The specific charge is that Columbia Lodge at a regular meeting ignored a decision of District Grand Deputy E. W. Bundy reversing the decision of the lodge in the case of Herbert C. Akers and allowing an appeal by Joseph I. Bailey. Akers was acquitted by the lodge of a charge of having made derogatory statements in a lodge meeting concerning the Grand Exalted Ruler without having put them in writing as provided in the laws of the Order. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson was present when the derogated statements were made. Bailey appealed from the So Big By Edna Ferber Author of "Cherful By Request," "Gigolo," "The Girls," "Half Portions," Etc.

UNIONIZATION OF ALL WORKERS MAY BE TRIED (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., April 7—02 particular significance in respect to the growing intimacy between the Negro and Organized labor is the recent invitation extended to William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to address the more than 13,000 textile strikers at Passaic, New Jersey. Mr. Pickens addressed four meetings Thursday. He told the workers in part: "This experience should help you to know that there should be no 'color line' nor other line among workers; that workers are neither white or black, Jew or Christian, but workers. The owners of big property will be the color race, not the color or whether they dish out. You're only a few color workers one of the mills; you are admitting colored people to your new textile workers union. This is well, black and white workers are the same—workers. They should stand together." "You are not Poles, or Lithuanians, or Italians, not natives or immigrants, or foreigners; not Metholists, Baptist or Catholic. You are the working people. For you purpose there should be but two important classes on earth; those who work, and those who don't. And, by God, your sympathies should be with those who work." Mr. Pickens was but 20 feet' way as the police used their night sticks to beat up four of the 5,000 marching picketers. COUSINS SUE TO UNTANGLE LEGAL PROPERTY KNOT Washington, D. C., April 8- Who are the heirs to the court on Third街, northwest, left by the late Julius Waren sr., who died July 4, 1905? That is the question that the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia is asked to settle in a friendly suit for the construction of the will of the late senior Warren. The suit was brought by Mrs. Angela Braxton Bishop of the district, on northwest, north-east, through Attorney Augustus W. Gray, against Mrs. Theresa Dickson and her two infant sons, Alexander Dickson and Thaddeus Edgar Dickson, of 607 Q street, northwest. Death Makes Tangle The late Julius Warron sr., before his death made a will, giving this Third street property to his wife for life and at her death to his son, Julius Warron jr., and the heirs male of his body. The junior Julius Warron died before the widow and no heirs, either male or female. The senior Warron in his will had provided against such an event by declaring that if his son left no heirs male, this property was to go to the male heirs of his two granddaughters, Mrs. Bishop and death of the junior Warron, however, neither Mrs. Braxton nor Mrs. Dickson had married and therefore had no heirs, either male or female. After her marriage, Mrs. Dickson had two sons who are canable of inheriting. Attorney Gray contends on behalf of Mrs. Bishop that title to the property is in the two girls by reason of default in heirs at the time of the death of Julius Warren jr. No Ill Feeling There is no ill feeling between the two cousins. The suit was simply filed for a judicial determination of the title to the property. The senior Warren marriaged twice.

Those who aren't, usually don't even un- stand themselves and it is there quite natural that others don't understand them. They are also ones to whom childhood isn't so wonderful. As child likes, and should have passes, just like adults. Just as speak to adults kindly, so should they speak to children solidly. For instance: One's fath- tory says to his wife, "As you say if you don't mind, please be the door," but to his child, he could say, "Get up and shut that and don't slam it either." Of course the child resents this, in turn and is disrespectful to his father, and he will either grumble the door. Then again, there are children who will just naturally grumble you, even if they are spoken to indly. It is perfectly wonderful for a father to have a child whom she trust, and let him know she puts him. A child who is trusted to make one of the best of children, usually, because he hates to be his mother lose her trust in him, and quite naturally he tries to put on her expectations. It's The Spirit That Counts just as a mother or a father applauds more, what his or her child does willingly instead of in grumbling way, so does a child pretiate it more when his parental do him favors willingly. For example: If a child asks his mother to let him go to the movies, and says, "No, and he continues to and finally just to keep from bothered she will yell, "Now, he go on to the movies, and stop uttering me. You worry a soul of death. You needn't ask me gain this month to let you go, because I'm not going to do it." Of course the child goes and engages himself but he would have enraged himself so much more, had he not let him go willingly. When a mother doesn't under- stand her child, it goes hard for with the child and the parent, be- cause the child might do something with altogether good inten- tions, but may not succeed in doing alternately satisfactorily and his port instead of appreciating the port to do good, will scold because wasn't done satisfactorily.

She scrubbed straightened the china closet shelves, washed the dishes and cleaned the pantry thoroughly. When her mother returned instead of showing her appreciation for what the child had done, she immediately began to find fault. "Why didn't you make the bread? You know this is bread night. You didn't wipe off the stone either. All of that is a part of the dish washing, etc." The next time Edythe's mother goes off, she will not do anything at all. Why? Simply because she knows it will not be appreciated. She knows her mother will find fault and say, "It's no more than you should have done anyway, because if you hadn't done it I would have had it to do, so what's the difference?" So many children are discouraged in this same way by their own parents and for this reason, childhood isn't wonderful to them. ATTENTION. GIRLS: In this column each week, Naomi will help you with your problems. Questions on conduct, custom, dress, love or any subject that you are interested in will be carefully considered and answered. Write your questions in ink on one side of the paper and address them to "Naomi," Care Norfolk Journal and Guide, 711 E. Olney Road. Dear Naomi: I've been a reader of your advice to girls for sometime now and I am asking you to please give me some advice as I do not know what to do. I have been going with a fellow four months and I really do care a lot for him, and for three weeks he has stopped coming to see me and when I ask him what I have done, his reply is that it is best not to see him. My chum tells me he has another girl. Will you please tell me how I can make him love me. ELIZABETH CITY GIRL Dear Elizabeth City Girl: My dear child, I am sorry to say I cannot give the sort of advice you will want to hear because if a fellow had told me that, I would say in a minute, alright and I would do my best not to see him. If he has not been to your house in three weeks, that shows he is not anxious to see you or else he would have been there. I am afraid my dear, true love from the heart cannot be made to order, but if coaxing and being sweet and attractive will not'draw, I am afraid you cannot make him love you. I'll quote you a piece of poetry I heard long ago: "Love's a tyrant and a slave, A torment and a treasure; Having it we know no peace. And wanting it no pleasure." Dear Naomi: I have been reading your column of love affairs and advice to the school girls and now I am looking forward for you to give me some advice about myself, please. I also want you to print this so others may see it for I am only a high school girl, 17, and I am in love with a boy four years my senior. He has been going with me about eleven months. I met him on an excursion giving to Richmond and I was made acquainted with him and then I fell in love with him and I dearly love him better than any other boy. About a month after that he came to Suffolk to live. He stayed here for about seven months and then he went back to Richmond to live and then he began writing love letters telling me how much he loved me and how much he missed me and I answered them because he is the sweetest boy in the world to me and I love him sincerely. About a week ago I received a letter saying that he was married and it was from his wife asking me to stop writing her husband. Oh! I don't see how on earth I can stop writing him for I really love him. The last letter that he wrote me he asked me to send him one of my pictures. Shall I send it or not? I love him and I can't help it. He is the only boy I have ever loved in my life. On! I can see him before me all the time. When I go out with the other boys I don't seem to take interest in them but they seem to take great interest in me. I don't and can't love anyone else but him and don't tell me not to care for him because I can't help myself. So please advise me what to do. I hope to see your answer very soon, HEART-BROKEN Dear Heart-broken: Well dearie if you take my advice you will wake up and take interest in those other fellows and go right on and enjoy yourself for I am very much afraid the other fellow does not mean well by you if he has a wife. Did he ever tell you, he was married? See if you can find out for a fact that he is married and then take your mind off him. You can, you know if you make up your mind to, I would not send the picture until I found out if he was married. For you know it will be wrong to send it to a married man. Certainly one who is making love to you and yet has a wife. Dear Naomi: It gives me the greatest of pleasure in writing to you. As I was reading the paper I saw where you were giving the girls advice. These are the questions I will be delighted for you to answer. I am a girl with a sweet disposition, block bobbed hair, considered nice looking and I dress very nicely, but I am no flapper. I like to have a nice time in a nice way. I dance every now and then. I am 15 years of age and go to school. I am liking the boys a little, but not crazy about them like some girls. Nothing can get between me and my books. I have seen a boy that I meet often, but don't know his name, he seems to like me and I like him, please advise me what to do. 1. Do you think a girl should kiss a boy goodnight? 2. If you were going with a boy and he stopped going with you and went with another girl and come to see you every now and then, do you think he loves you, if he says so? I may love this boy and would like much to take him as a husband, but not yet thinking of married life. I have said I don't want to get married. Please send me a boy's address or tell him to write. I am no flapper, I don't drink. Please give me some advice for my sake. I love the movies, but don't go to the movies every night nor do I attend midnight rambles. So please print this. I am going to look for it. Pretty But No Flapperr: Dear little girl for that is all you are, just a little girl and yet how anxious you are to get on with grown folks questions. You are still in school, why worry about the boys so much when so young. I am glad you like a nice time in a nice way and hope you will always be like that. What can you do about the fellow you often meet and do not know? You cannot run up to him and say, 'I want to know you.' Are you sure he is a desirable boy to know? Better find that out first. I do not feel that girls should kiss boys goodnight, you make yourself so cheap, kissing all the boys goodnight. Don't value yourself so lightly. Men think less of you when you think so little of yourself. No, I guess I would not think the fellow thought much of me if he stopped going with me and went with someone else, not even if he said so. I am sorry I have no name I can send just now, but if one should come up, I'll send it if he is alright. HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER. Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking Powder Co. DISHES ON THE SIDE RECIPES Do you ever find yourself serving the same side dishes over and over, week after week? Is it because you just can't think of what else to prepare, or is it because the family is hard to please, or perhaps for the reason that they have asked for a repetition of their favorite vegetable, entree or side dish? Every single one of us at some time of other, gets in the habit of opening a can of peas, corn or tomatoes, or chopping up a portion of cabbage, cooking some fresh green leaves, or turnips and then feel that we have gone the rounds. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Modern Nurse Supplantst Grannies The effect of the Sheppard-Towner act has been fur-reaching on the colored mother and infant, according to a report of her work prepared by Mrs. Emily W. Bennett, supervisor of midwives in the state of Virginia. The act was passed by Congress in 1921 as an attempt to solve a situation which concerns very closely the Negro race. The act was urged by women's and health organizations and intended by Congress to permit the National government to aid work on behalf of mothers and babies. In 1920, the year before the act was passel, the maternal mortality rate in the United States was 8.1 per 1,000 live births, a rate higher than that for any other civilized country except Chile. That same year our infant mortality rate was 86 per 1,000 live births. In other words, almost 20,000 mothers and about 200,000 babies were dying each year in this country, many of them from preventable causes. Mortality Rate In 1920 Bad as the rates were for all mothers and babies they were worse for Negro mothers and babies. The Negro maternal mortality rate in 1920 was 12.8 and the infant mortality rate in that some year was 132. Studies of the health of mothers and babies made by the Children's Bureau also indicated that even more than white mothers and babies the colored mother and her baby needed the utmost protection their government could give them. The Children's Bureau studied 23,000 babies born in 8 American cities during the years 1911-1916. About 1,500 of these babies were colored. The infant mortality rate for the white babies was 108, but the rate for the colored babies was 154. Moreover, it was found that colored rates were higher than whites particularly for deaths caused by conditions which may be changed. For instance, almost three times as many colored babies suggestions given there on how to vary the daily menu, but how many of you follow these suggestions? When you go to market do you just purchase the thing that appeals to you, or do you purchase the vegetable that seems to be the economical buy of the day. My advice to everyone is to jot down a week's menus, planning to serve one dish that you have not previously served in two weeks. This will not be hard if you refer to your suggestion card which we offered you sometime ago, or if you follow the many tempting dishes suggested in your women's magazines and newspapers. In case you are entirely out of ideas, below are three suggestions. Try one of these for dinner tonight if possible. The card. "One Hundred Suggestions What to Serve" is still yours, free for the asking, write to Helen H. Downing, 1100 Fillmore Street, Chicago, Illinois. Carrots and Onions in Casserole 6 medius sized carrots, sliced 6 good sized onions, sliced Butter Place carrots and onions in greased baking dish in alternate layers, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper and butter. Pour milk over layers, cover with fine bread crumbs, and bake three quarters of an hour, in moderate oven (300 degrees F.) Cut parsnips into cubes and arrange in layers with sauce and cheese in greased baking dish. Cover with crumbs, bake in hot oven (420 degrees F.) fifteen to twenty minutes. 1-2 cup of chopped peanuts or peanut butter Cook half an hour in a double boiler, adding a very little more water, if necessary. Pack in a greased pan or baking powder tin and, when cold, cut in slices, dip in flour and fry in hot sausage fat. This is a hearty supper for a hungry man. Nightmare Hope sleeps as the hours steal on into eternity, and I am left alone to see my old human form toople an to my old human form toople an to slowly as my mind its function ceases, and the light of my once bright eyes dims—for I can not see a future in front of me night. I saw faintly the outline of the silver grey casket where with my depleted frame was incased. I heard the roll of the cylinders which I saw in the room, and just as they placed me in the ground; I heard him pronounce the funeral rites and make the funeral mound.

About two and a half times as many colored babies as white babies died from respiratory diseases. Both these groups of diseases depend largely upon living conditions and can be controlled through education of mothers and fathers in better methods of living and through public health measures by the community. It was also found that many more colored babies died from what are known as "diseases of early infancy." These diseases are usually due to lack of good care for the mother during pregnancy and confinement and the death rate from these diseases will drop when mothers know how important it is to get good care before and during the birth of their babies. Interest of Colored Mother It is evident, therefore, that the colored mother has at least as great an interest in the Shappard-Tower Act as the white mother. The Children's Bureau which has administered the act is fully conscious of this interest on the part of the colored mother and of the necessity for doing special work among colored mothers and babies. A word or two about the provisions of the Act will be perhaps helpful in understanding the kind of work that is done and the kind of work that can not be done. The Act appropriated not more than $1,240,000 a year of Federal money to be given to the states and to be matched by state money, all of which is to be spent for improving the health of mothers and babies. The act forbids however, the giving of any money directly to mothers and in general restricts the work that can be done to educational work. This educational work includes child health conferences, prenatal conferences, mothers' classes, little mothers' leagues, prenatal letters, mothers' correspondence courses and midwife classes, as well as lectures, talks, exhibits and motion pictures on health subjects. Forty-three states have accepted the provisions of the act and in all of them some or all of the activities mentioned are being carried on for the benefit of mothers of every nationality and race. The Midwife Situation There are one or two activities which are of interest to the Negro mother, however, because they concern problems which especially affect her race. One of these is the midwife situation. The United States Census listed only about 5,000 midwives in the entire country. Through a questionnaire sent out to state boards of health the Children's Bureau discovered that in 30 states there were 26,000 midwives authorized to practice; and about 20,000 more estimated to be practicing but not registered. It was found that midwives were most numerous and attended most births in the Southern states. In Alabama, North Carolina, and Virginia, for instance, one out of every 3 births was attended by a midwife. In Florida the proportion was even higher; in P.

Since such a large proportion of mothers have to depend upon the midwives for help during confinement, it has been considered an important part of the Sheppard-Towner Oct in many of the states to study midwives, to find out what their qualifications were, and then to teach, supervis, and license them. Dr. Ionia R. Whipper, a Negro physician on the staff of the Maternity and Infancy Division of the Children's Bureau, has cooperated in mid-wife demonstrations in several of the Southern states. In states where large numbers of midwives were found, definite campaigns to teach the midwives the elementary principles of safe care for mothers and babies have been undertaken, in a number of cases this work was done by Negro nurses. The result of the work has been thus far to eliminate some of the oldest and least capable of the "granness," as they often call themselves, and to make quite marvelous changes in the cleanliness and practice of the younger women. Mrs. Emily W. Bennett, supervisor of midwives in the state of Virginia, writes a most interesting report of her work, which is quite typical of this type of work in the Southern states. Mrs. Bennett gives a composite picture of the 10,000 midwives in Virginia at the present time midwife education was Ligust, most of whom are col- TOR YELLOW F Table Exc ties At Lowest d Milk, can r Ale, bottle Cans, 3 for ages for . ad, 3 lbs .

She says that about 60 percent of the midwives are over 60 years of age, some over 90, and at least one claims to be 100. "Only two of those attending midwife classes had ever had any hospital training, nearly all were ignorant of the simplest rudiments of surgical cleanliness; many said they were, practicing because the "gift" had been passed on to them by their mothers, grandmothers, or by older midwives. Their fee varied from $3 to $10. Not a single midwife was found who knew that the mother needed any care during pregnancy. Virginia organized classes for her midwives three years ago. At each class the midwife was taught the necessity of cleanliness, the danger of giving drugs, the importance of calling a doctor at the first appearance of a dangerous symptom, the use of silver-nitrate in the baby's eyes to prevent "blindness of the newborn," and the prompt reporting of the baby's birth. The state board of health has adopted regulation bag with simple equipment and a white uniform which each registered midwife is required to use. The difference in appearance between the old type of midwife and the new one is almost unbelievable, and in a number of states the physicians have reported as remarkable an improvement in their practice. It is believed and hoped that sooner or later the patient and painstaking instruction of the midwife will show results in lowered maternal and infant mortality rates, particularly among colored families.

The home boys were unable to master the offerings of the youthful twiwer for Albion, who was very effective. The visitors in the style of big leaguers, almost phenomenally, supported Pearson, their pitching ace. Several times the fielders by sensational performances, prevented what appeared to be home runs. Manning, center fielder for Albion, made a wonderful one-hand catch of a ball batted by Henderson. The downfall of A. and T. College was due to the inability of the Aggies to connect with Pearson when needed and poor base running. R. H. E.

The first game which was played Wednesday against Morris Brown began with the visitors taking a slight edge on the bench.

If one can offer to explain the outcome of the second member of the professors of science, literature, and ethics—namely, the Collegians of Norfolk—and the duffold professors of the above and several additional ones—namely, the Hamptonians of Hampton Institute, who earn their fortunes as members of the faculty of the said institute. What was entitled "We n-ge-ance Night" cultivated in a mercerized eating—the second of it kind—or risin dust for the colohes of the sequester city. Not satisfied with defact after an extra period on the home court, the Collegiate migrated to the town of the midshipmen in a fashion after neoclassicism, the scorebook showing a debit of cu and a credit of ww, and titimptions on the heavy end. "JOCK" WATKINS MAKES IT HARD FOR THE SCORER But there was some misunderstanding about the final score. While, everybody accepted a 32-12 victory for the home team, the official score book registered a somewhat modified count. It was: HAMPTONIANS—30 COLLEGIANS—12 BOOGE WATKINS—2 And it came about in the latter stages of the game. The going was swift—as the waterboy remarked, "cat-eat-fast"—and on a quick action had much effect on the scorecards. Professor J. E. Watkins, the venerable professor of fontography at the Journal and Guide College, was well aware of the impending, yea inevitable, crisis steadily surging down upon his companions as well as himself. As the hall had not been any too thoroughly covered, the Coefolk, Prof. Watkins was transported to a state of coma when he, standing in mid-court, suddenly discovered that the *phrdruid*—it was a basketball which they were using—was in his possession. The galleries demanded a shot of Professor Watkins (for it was for this that they had laid down their diets). By this time he was in so much seams back on his way to normally, but his condition might easily be described as bewildering. Sailed with the urge, the cause, to perform some heroic dart that would forever stand out in the annals of basketball brilliance, this lineup graphicist professor probed, on one foot, advanced a step in his new direction, and then buried the ball into the air). The house burst into a turbulent pour, and suddenly it demanded Prairie Watkins that his idea, his theory had been perfect, but to his ill comfort, his indignation had been anathematically poor. He had shot in the wrong direction. It seconded, for a while, fortune that his aim had been inaccurate by a hairline and the goal so pains-takingly aimed at would be missed. The ball went almost directly into the basket, rocked from side to side, and then rolled off the rim down on the floor below the goal. However, before the professor could completely right the errors of the Hamptonians, the ride instructor of aesthetics, as well as a devout mentor, had scoped it up and completed the job for his adversary. The goal added to the Hamptonians' share, but in reality, because of his persevering efforts, Prof. Watkins receives Wilson May (Continued from Page One) decision of the lodge, and District Grand Deputy E. W. Bundy reversed the decision of the lodge and allowed the appeal. The lodge ignored his communication setting aside his decision, claiming that he lacked jurisdiction. The lodge recently rescinded its action in endorsing Grand Exalted Ruler for a fifth term and indicated an intention of seeking to bring the next Grand Lodge to Washington. (By Preston News Service) Moscow, April 8—Sollomon Abramovich Lozovsky, genral secretary of the trade union international organization to assist the inclusion of Negro workers in all forward trade unions, especially in the United States. Failing this, he says, Negroes should be organized into independent trade unions. “In the United States there are eleven trade unions comprising 436,000 workers which reject Negroes as regular members.” Lozovsky declared in a speech, “Even other trade unions which do admit Negroes, treat them as outfits. If American trade unions refuse to admit Negroes, we must not be afraid to create parallel Negro trade unions to compete with them.” credit for the goal. Hence the somewhat cusious score printed above. For this feat Prof. Watkins was presented with a chewing gum nutmeg and a sandpapr powder puff for his friend. DOCTORS PARKER AND ... DANIS It was a seaward race that Dr. Parker, the progressive pharmacist of the metropolis of Hampton, Virginia, and Dr. Davis, of the Institute faculty, ran for scoring honors. Dr. Davis, who spent the entire first game between these two newly made rivals trying to perfect his dribble on the glorious floor of the Garden, has at last found conditions favorable to perfection of this trick. The young professor glided up and down the court in admirable ease and amble grace, excelling his competitors in glorious fashion. In the early quarters he kept the scorers busy, but in his several angular shots. But in the latter half he became brutal and uttered four personal fouls from which Ref. ree "Cute" Boren injected him from the fray. This served to check the vicious Dr. Davis. As for the other Doctor, there were no reigns. In the final stanza, he ran amuck, registering from all angles for a total of 12 points to rival the mark set by Dr. Davis. Dr. Parker, it might be said, was one of the luminaries of the game, although at time he was included to handle his foe a bit roughly. Captain Veronel S. Brown was as noticeably in the mirror as ever, despite the fast that he did not injure a heavy impression on the score card. Coach Williams contributed a trio of double-cheers to his water boots. COLLEGIANS HAVE OFF-DAY There was obviously something adverse in the Norfolk division. The pop was hax, and team work was excellent in conjunction of Pibbis (or rather promotion, we should say) to the ranks of the Collegians was assuredly one factor in their favor. He collected five points. Professor Brown proved that he was collisive to his team for many reasons by treating his fellow at the firing line with three daskers. Other than the tree that now made by Captain Lange, there was no more scoring for the visitors. Prof. Watkins was easily the center of interest for the civilians. Besides an appreciable audience of local fans, an enthilicatic following of Norfolk devotes pilgrimage across Hampton to see the recognized Professor J. E. "Jack" Watkins perform.

Norfolk Bar Association Elects Officers The Norfolk Bar Association met at the offices of Attorney J. Eugene Diggs, Friday evening, April 21. It was the occasion of the annual election of officers. The meeting was presided over by Attorney James M. Harrison, the retiring president. The meeting was the most enthusiastic and largely attended ever held by the association. The business transacted was of a routine nature with the exception of the election of officers. The feature of the meeting was an extemporaneous address by Attorney Diggs. Mr. Diggs stressed "Service" as his theme, and in an impressive and convincing manner, pointed out the various responsibilities of theattract of the Colored Attorney had as his peculiar opportunity for service to his people in contradistinction to that of other professionals of the race. He recounted several instances in which the skill and tact of the Colored Attorney had been of inestimable value to members of the race. So clearly was the Speaker's ability and fitness for leadership reflected in his address, and so thoroughly did he ingrate himself into the hearts of his fellows, he was practically acclaimed president for the ensuing year. Attorney, R. G. L.

In addition to the regular scholarship mark in each subject, a mark is also given for "E-port" in each subject. The school takes the position that it is as desirable for the pupil to develop worthy traits of character as to improve in understanding subject matter. On this account pupils now receive character rating in self-control, self-esteem, self-control and industry. The Council Home Room of Presidents at its weekly meeting last Friday discussed ways and means of reducing tardiness.

Loving named eleven points by winning the 60-yard high hurdles and second places in the 60-yard low hurdles and running high jump, and his team mate, Talan added three other points by winning second place in the 50-yard dash.

MEN'S HIGH HURDLES In addition to winning the track meet for his team, Loving won the 60-yard high hurdles in the fast time of 8 seconds, tying the meet record, which was made in 1915 by Butler of Rock Island and used in 1924 by Cabel of Cedar Rapids. Other performances that stamped Loving the individual star of the meet were his showing in running high jump and the 60-yard low hurdles. In the former, Miller, a white boy with representing Elwynwood Illinois high school, entered the bar at 6 foot 9-16 inch, 11.3-8 inches established by cheer shattering the meet record of Elwynworth of Oak Park. Loving also cleared the bar at the same height but knocked it down with his claw while coming down, and in the low hurdles was defeated by Ross, of Northwestern high, also of Detroit. TALAN SCORES HONORS While Loving was the outstanding star of the meet and likened to DeHart Hubbard, mate. Talan came in for his share of the playoff, but loyally applied. One of the most interesting races of the meet was the fifty-yard dash won by Patterson of Tibden. Patterson and Talan had led the field in the beats and both had a plenty of well-wishers and admirers when they entered the finals. Getting away perfectly the runners got away way quickly running neck and neck. Paterson succeeded, however, when the event in the fast time of 5.1-2 seconds. More than five hundred athletes representing forty-five schools participated in the meet and thousands more on hand to cheer the athletes in their efforts. sins.

JONES, Principal CAMPOSTELLA SCHOOL Larger units of language work have created much interest among pupils and teachers in this school. The first grade pupils are busy talking, writing, drawing pictures, and learning songs about the Garden. To make it seem real they have planted a few seeds in boxes, etc., which include Nature Study and Language. The pupils in the Second Grade can tell many things about The Home, "family" and "things in and about the home." You will get splendid advice on "How to keep well" if you look at and read the directions on a Health poster they have made. Geography and Language is being put very nicely by the Third Grade pupils. "The Holland Secee" and "Eskimo" posters make a very credible attraction to their room. Geography and Language work is being carried on in the Fourth Grade also. Their interest centers around "The Corn," and they are trying to see how much they can find out about this familiar grain. Miss Diggs, reports that the playground apparatus will be here very soon. This is the first of its kind on our ground. It is of a two-fold nature, a "slide" or a "Merry-go-round." We are sure the pupils will enjoy it. The teachers and pupils helped Miss Diggs to carry out her plans in securing it. (Miss) A. L. ROBINSIN, Prin.

GARLAND THE BOYS' CLUB ACTIVITIES All tubes receivers must be supplied with some form of electrical energy. This is usually given by storage or dry cell batteries. The battery does not hold electricity, but rather, is the arrangement of contain chemical elements and cals that will generate electrical energy when the proper association is made. These are several kinds and types of batteries. Of these the common are the Tidson, which contains an alkaline solution, the common storage or automobile battery, which uses sulphuric acid, and the dry cell type, which is composed of lead, ammonium chloride, sal ammoniac and zinc as an out- casing. The battery has many uses where small current is needed or where the connection with an electric line is improper or impossible. In order to supply the necessary current to start the car or to light the fine wires in the radio bulb, the battery must receive a certain attention and care. Despite the fact that many carry a guarantee, great harm can be done through ignorance of certain principles, and use not covered by the maneuver keep handy a hydrometer which batter's agreement. The owner of a battery should measure the specific gravity of the fluid in the cells. The little instrument will need tell when the battery is needled of a charge. When it registers 1153, the user of the battery may prove detrimental. Where there is not a home charger, the owner should take the battery to a battery service station fo: a recharge. A good plan is to read over the instructions sent with the outfit. Too fast charging, short circuiting, reverse connection to the charging line, deficiency of disilled water in the cells and a damaged area are to be guarded against. The "dry cell battery is handy. Any one who has been a constant visitor to the Boys' Club this week, would form a conclusion that would be as natural as it seemed but for several reasons. This conclusion would be that the Boys' Club is full of boys that box week in and week out, and that is but natural. First: The club is a boy's club devoted to the wiles of boys and in this club are found all things that please a boy's nature. Ye, strange as it seems, boxing is the first choice of the boys, so it appears in the club. Second: If boxing were considered the only art in the Boy's Club, I feel safe; in saying there would be no boy club. Although boxing is one of the finest arts known, it alone would not suffice to please the boys of Norfolk in general; especially when a whole club has been placed at their advantage; and they could use it for more. Now, dear readers, if you were a boy, don't you think, if the opportunity presented itself, you would indulge in more than one phase yourself? Think of the pleasure of reading, basketball, checkers, domineers and the wonderful art of conversation, etc. then draw your conclusion. Horst, now, would you? If in doubt ask the boys of the Boys' Club their answers would put all your doubts to rest. But let us turn to something more exciting, something that shows the real being of the members of the Boys' Club. Thursday evening, last, there occurred in the athletic room of the Boys' Club an event, astounding, puzzling, and yet interesting in general. This event of which I speak was a match between Master Vernon Johnson and five other young club members, the first and most formidable being Edward Austin, who fought with him through three nerve racking rounds. It was during these three rounds that some one had the nerve to say that he, Vernon Johnson, had a yellow streak down his back. The first round of his fight with Austin was won by Austin, who constantly plugged away at his lumbering antagonist, who opened down on him like an on-rushing express train, head long into the brittle of glovees, but Austin was always waiting, waiting, like an eight poised for flight, but who never flew, yet flapped his wings this arms—most dangerously at his fighting enemy. In the second, Master Johnson gained his position and began to be his dignified self with the results that Austin received many a wish-you-had-not come-my-way-blow. This sound the competitors exchanged some healthy blow, but Johnson had checken his head-long rushings low and case boxing for all he was worth. For who to have to hail of them that they had a yellow streak down their back, sure not Vernon Johnson. In the third Johnson kept up his hammering at his foe who was nowounding around in need of help. But he fought his part, effort to vanquish his slugging toe, who was going to prove that he did not have a yellow streak down his back; such as one sees on tigers, and leopards that stand for strength, cunning, daring and revenge. Not pleased with just one conquered enemy, Johnson called for another, with the hope of satisfying themselves who had called him yellow. For another three rounds he hacked and hooked, punched and buffeted at his new antago and does not contain any liquid which will spill on the carpets or floor. This is an advantage point on the storage type for the solution contained in them is very injuious and will ect a hole in the finest Brussels carpet. But the dry cell cannot be profitably renewed when its charge is used up. A new set must be bought. This makes them expensive in the long run. Each dry cell can generate one and one-half volts of electricity, while each storage cell can produce to volts. For some tubes one and one-half volts are sufficient to operate the outfit; others require five or six volts. One should know how many batteries are too much current will burn it out, thus making it useless. The battery we have been talking about is the "A" battery or filament battery. The battery is a number of cells. Twenty-two and forty-five volt blocks are commonly seen. As I stated before, these cells are connected to plate circuit in the tube—the positive terminal directly to the plate—the negative is kept on the plate to allow the proper transfer of energy in the circuit. The "B" should NEVER BE CONNECTED TO THE "A" terminal. One, two or ten tubes will be burned out in an instance, and that means throwing money in the fire. There is still another battery known as the "C" battery. The "C" battery is about 10 per pico cells. This is believed to keep a negative charge on the grid of the tube. All of these batteries may be of the storage type. There has been set out on the per- market an outfit which will change the ordinary house alternating current of to proper voltage to power the appliances but yet the cost is a bit higher. They are simple to build. We can do that later and save some dolls. nist, who wondered what it was all about, all these flying gloves, meeting his soft little face. When it was all over he was still in doubt until he had been beaten sure cough, and then he realized it fully, and he did not come back for more either. Even then Johnson's yellow streak was not satisfied, painting and puffing from an unrussal fluid but game to go on again he could have gotten some fine points on his style of boxing. "Ob ye," he said, "I know how he boxes, I will try him out. Accordingly he died with the distrous thought of defeat hanging on his mind after a three-round backhacking contest, like the Greeks used to see in the arenas. For it, like his fellow fighters had gone down under the smashing blows of wizard,—Johnson. At the end of this bout his strength was quite far spent so he decided to cool his burning while a short while, then saw that he took a noseded vacation from such a frightened task of beating one's fellow club members to satisfy public whims. Such is the good one will find in the Boys' Club. A good that took the finer qualities found in the boys of the Boys' Club. That the citizens of Norfolk will be pleased and can look and say with self-insurance, "he is a boy, first, a son fit for his country; second, and third but not least of all, a member of the Boys' Club.

In yonder brighter world. Father, Mother, Sister and brothers. VOICE OF MARIAN ANDERSON FIRES MUSIC LOVERS VOICE OF MARIAN ANDERSON FIRES MUSIC LOVERS Talented Contralto, of Philadelphia, Enthusiastically Received On Her Recital Here Friday Night Last. A capacity audience greeted Marian Anderson, talented contralto of Philadelphia, in recital at the First Baptist Church on Friday night, April 2. Never has a singer been more enthusiastically receive by a Norfolk audience than Miss Anderson, who with rare poise and sweet dignity, won her way into the hearts of the audience as seen in she ascended the platform. Even before she sang a note the house was she and when she did she she held the rapt attention of every crowd. Even the babies, who were indulged in taking them along rather than forever the treat, were capivated by the sweet voice of the required quiet. Miss. Anderson's voice is truly "The voice in a bearded thousand." Her range is broad, her tones round and mellow and from her program one can judge her versatility and style. The program which was arranged in five groups of songs was unusually well selected and gave Miss Anderson opportunity to display the loveliness of tone, the beauty of interpretation and the wonderful range and volume which is here. The German group and the spirituals which were her comrading selections, were particularly well tendered. Requests for special numbers were used as encores, prominent among which were "By the Waters of Minnesota," "By the Song," Lou," and the song "Song." Mr. William L. King, at the piano, accompanied the singer perfectly. It was worth the price of admission to see her give him the signal to begin, and his subordination of his art so that the singer at all times was the center of attraction. The audience gleaned whole hearted response, but there was some discord caused by the late arrivals taking their seat. It is to be regretted that so many people have not got to the point of being on time for a program, or if they must be late, are not impressed with the necessity of remaining all at the rear of the room, all there is an internal which which can be ignored without disinterment attention from the rest. The Girls' Power committee of the Y. W. C. A. under whose auspices Miss A. appeared here, announced, because the patrons' list was no longer than was expected, found it impertically to be which she but wish to see, these columns to the aid of which any woman looked to make the fair the sure, to wish to make the gentleman the gentleman Glee Club and to join a Club for their great contributions to its success. A reception was tendered Mr. Anderson and her mother and Mr. Kine at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Ewrd immediately after the recital. The Girl Reserve Committee is very happy over the success of the Marian Anderson Recital. This committee worked long and hard in its effort to give to the Norfolk public a rare treat. The names of the persons on the committee who worked to untangle to make the recital a success follow: A. Williamson, M. Moller, M. Goff, L. Cowling, M. Meyer, G. Mossley, V. Hough, H. Tucker, H. Selden, V. Hough, A. Peters, E. Mille, H. Smith, B. Holte, B. Sutton, L. Dequayz, M. Wilson, N. Johnson, A. Collins, E. Clarke, C. Boyd, L. Meyers, J. Dudley, ... Johnson and Mrs. A. Robinson Over one hundred and twenty- five Girls Reserves went on the Easter Monday hike and egg hunt leaving at 11 a.m. from the Center. The girls hiked to a woodsy spot past Boulevard. Terrence spread their lunch, nibble, jelly, old story books, and lots of games. Hunt was another feature of the hike and every one had a collar tattoo. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE BERKLEY WOMEN PUT ON ACTIVE CIVIC PROGRAM Women's Community Improvement League Taking Forward Steps In Bringing Things To Pass. A very enthusiastic Mass Meeting under the auspices of the Women's Community Improvement League of Berkley, was held Wednesday evening, March 31, at the Central Baptist Church. This organization of women sets before the community their aims and purpose. In a very unique program, Dr. G. Hamilton Francis after endorsing the movement in very pleasing remarks, introduced Dr. A. B. Green who spoke feelingly upon "Berkley's Civic Needs." Mrs. Phillip of the King's Daughters presented the aims of the Baby Conference Day. The League has espoused this cause and already the scales have been housed in the Community Center on Appamatzar street and the time of the conference fixed at from 2 oclock to 4 oclock each Monday. Nurse Johnson will be on hand to receive the babies. After the proposed projects, which the League hopes to work out, had been outlined by the president, Mrs. P. M. Reid, expressions from Rev. Dr. J. C. Diamond, Mr. R. C. Davis Mr. L. Pendleton and others pleading support to the League showed that the community is alive to the value of organized effort and ready to push the same to success. The Yadent Club rendered music for the occasion. The League will put on a financial effort in the near future to provide and equip a recreational center during the warm weather. COLLECTION OF CHEST FUND PLEDGES SLOW Subscribers Urged To Pay Up More Promptly on Amounts Pledged For Support Of Social Agencies. The Branch Division of the Community Fund, through its secretary, Abner E. Lee, announces that the total collections on the pledges to the fund by the colored citizens during the fall campaign equals 34 per cent of the total amount pledged, and urges those who subscribed to pay up more promptly as it is very necessary that a better per cent of collection be attained in the ensuing months if the success indicated in the amount subscribed. Persons who have made pledges to the Community Fund are asked to not wait until the collectors call on them, or to send or mail checks or cash to the offices of the Branch Division, room 308, Metropolitan Bank and Trust Building. Eight charities and welfare agencies are dependent upon the plaques made by the colored people to the fund for their support. These agencies are Lekies Old Folks Home, the place for aged, new housing four inmates who have their permanent home there and a very competent curtaker in charge. The Community Maternity Ward, which is serving this community with a staff of five visiting physicians and a registered nurse always on duty. The Y. W. C. A., which had 663 to apply to it for work during the month of February and found employment for 180 persons. This is a usual happening each month. The Boy's Club which seeks to mold the character of the boys for useful lives. The boys are divided into groups and capable persons are responsible for each group as instructors. Community Service, which has just moved into its new location. 800 Lincoln street, where it expects to do a greater service for the community by having more space. Travelers' Aid, which regrets the loss of the active services of Mrs. Hattie Practor, who served the organization for 21 years, but which is putting over a wonderful service with the assistance of Mrs. W. W. Foreman. 545 trains and 699 wives were met and practically all persons of our group received in the last year. Jim H. Point Community Center is giving the people of that community a needed service, especially as a day nursery and a milk station. The Church United Charities with its trained and experienced workers are serving the less fortunate. This has been a hard winter for the charities who have had to make special efforts to meet the demands upon them. None of the organizations above mentioned can function efficiently unless all who made pledges to the Church had sacred regal and these pledges and pay them off promptly.

Miss Pickford, in the role of Rosita, portrays a character which is a distinct departure from any impersonation hectofero attempted by her. Rosita, while the main character in the story is not one equally accepted for starring purposes. And the supporting characters being of such great importance to the story an all-star cast of principals will be seen in these roles. The great and only Sessue Hayakawa in, "The Danger Line," a story of the east and west. Sessue is a well-known screen celebrity and it is enough to say when his name is emblazoned in the advertisements, that the picture is a good one. Hayakawa, the Japanese star, ranks high in the motion picture filmament and patrons can be assured of a good picture when he is taking any part at all. The scenario continuity is from the pen of Edward Knoblack, distinguished English author. The beautiful settings on which the story is mounted were designed by the well-known Swedish artist Sven Gade, in collaboration with Ivin J. Martin, and William Camron Menjess, staff artists of the Mary Pickford company. Want Action on Memorial Hall THURSDAY AND FRIDAY H. R. H.

BROWN & BROWN, Inc. General Real Estate Brokers the real estate business as a last resort to make a livelihood. The policy in force then was 'Caveat emptor; (let the buyer beware)'—and anything is fair in business. No thought was given to the future of the business, but each victim was fleeced of as much as the traffic would bear. The Great War, was the turning point—like a refiner's fire, it served to burn away much of the greed and selfishness in this and other lines of endeavor. Real estate operators began to realize that the success of their business in the future would depend upon the good-will which was being built day by day; that one customer treated right would send in more new clients than a year's advertising; that professionalism must be injected into their business; and that organization was the one instrument for hastening that professionalization process.

In every city, town and hamlet there is a real estate board made up of members who in turn, are members of the National Real Estate Board. This organization has even adopted a term, by which it's members can be readily known, 'REALTOR'-and this term cannot be used by any real estate dealer who is not a member of some real estate board. These boards require their members to have a certain amount of ability, to practice the Golden Rule in business, to build up good-will for himself and his fellow-realtors. Some such organization with a similar code of ethics and business standards is coming for our Group. It is inevitable—the public demands it. From tradesman to professional is a change not made in a day. It is complex. The transition from 'Shylock' to the modern banker took centuries. The Sixteenth century barber with his cupping has evolved after many setbacks into the surgeon of today. Likewise is a change taking place in the real estate vocation—it has taken the first steps toward professionalism. That real estate dealer, who either through selfishness, avarice or ignorance, cannot to join in this march towards professionalism had best drop out voluntarily, lest he be trodden under foot of men. BUSINESS BRIEFS Another feminine invasion in business—this time in the gasoline field, is seen in the efficient operation of a gasoline filling station and accessory station by Mrs. Alethia Pinner on Bank Street, near the corner of Brambleton Avenue. Mrs. Pinner has operated this station now for over two years, all of which time she has enjoyed a growing patronage. If you are born under a lucky stark you may strike the hours her very comely daughter-in-law is on duty and have your gas and oil stored to the accompaniment of a golden smile. The Hunterville Grocery Co., Mr. Fletcher Burden, president, conducts a first class business in green and fancy groceries on the corner of Hunter Street and B Avenue. This business was started in a very humble way six years ago by a group of ushers of First Calvary Baptist Church. Today, the initial investment has been multiplied several times. The concern owns outright first class modern store furniture and fixtures and carries a well stiked line of popular selling goods at all times. Mr. William Blizzard, the affable, efficient manager has been in charge since its opening.

How can I write a check so a stranger can cash it without being required to be identified by the bank? —W. A. Hodges A. If you will make out your check to 'cash' or 'bare', the bank will not require the identification of the person cashing it. There is a danger here though—for if the person for whom you intended the check should lose it or have it stolen from him, anyone on presenting it at the bank is entitled to the funds it calls for.

TAYLOR, Prop. REAL ESTATE OPERATORS FORM AN ORGANIZATION REAL ESTATE OPERATORS FORM AN ORGANIZATION The second group among our people to perfect an organization since the plea for organized group effort in business went forth from this sheet are the real-estate operators of Norfolk and Portsmouth. A meeting was called of the heads of all the real estate concerns of Norfolk and Portsmouth Thursday, April 1st at Juana Tea and Grille Room. Firms represented in the call were J. C. Brooks and Co., J. T. Tanner and Co., Inc., Virginia R. Collette and Brown and Brown, Inc., of Norfolk; and the T. W. Newby, Co., Inc. of Portsmouth, Va. All present voiced the urgent need of a closer union among Negro realty dealers and pledged themselves to stand by the association and make it worth while. After much discussion, the name decided upon for the organization was the Tidewater Real Estate Exchange. FOR PROTECTION OF PUBLIC One of the main features decided upon was the necessity of adopting a code of ethics to govern all members of the Exchange and to see that all the members render such service that the public will be protected from fraud and misrepresentation and that both the buyer and seller receive a square deal. A committee was appointed to encouch the above ideas in a constitution. The adoption of this committee's report and the election of officers will be the chief business to dispose of at the next meeting which is scheduled for Tuesday night, April 13th, at 8 o'clock at Juanita's. What is meant by casualty insurance A. Casualty insurance makes a specialty of insuring against sickness and accidents; either $ _{1} $ paying nothing for ordinary death or a small nominal sum. What determines the price of advertising charges as made by various newspapers? —W. Henderson A. The cost of newspaper advertising depends upon the circulation that paper has. The newspaper with a circulation of 30,000 subscribers should receive about three times as much for space as a journal that has only 10,000. Wolverine Cleaners report Business Good Mr. David B.

BERRY WILL NOT RETURN TO OLD EMANUEL Portsmouth Genuinely Regrets Loss of Influence of One of Its Most Outstanding Pastors. Although it is not expected that the sixteenth annual session of the Virginia Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church which convenes in Wytheville next week will result in any sweeping transfers of Tidewater pastors, it is definitely known that the transfers will affect one of the most outstanding ministers of this section. The Rev. Dr. L. L. Berry, who has pastored historic Emanuel Church Portsmouth for five years, will not be reassigned to this charge. Dr. Berry has seved his time limit at Emanuel and the rules of the church, five years being the longest period a Methodist pastor can serve without changing. Dr. Berry will preach his farewell sermon Sunday night. Paid High Tribute The members of Emanuel Church are anticipating the loss of their pastor with genuine regrets, and seldom is a retiring pastor of any church or community the recipient of a like tribute as was paid to Dr. Berry this week by the citizens of Portsmouth without regard to denomination. Methodists, Baptists, fraternal and civil organizations, in public meetings took occasion to laud his five years' service as pastor at Emanuel, expressed most feelingly their regrets over his approaching departure and praised him as having done more to bring about harmonious relations between the denominations of the city than any single individual in recent years. Outstanding Minister Emmanuel, regarded as one of the finest charges in the Virginia conference, has made unprecedented progress under the pastorate of Dr. Berry. Already an outstanding minister before assuming charge of that church, his administration of its affairs, however, has been such as to receive the special commendation of the late Johnson to reveal in Dr. Berry his priority for leadership which is causing him to be regarded in influential church circles as being of fit stature for a general officer. This fact was evidenced by the splendid complimentary vote he received in the last General Conference for secretary of missions, and since that time his name has been more frequently and prominently mentioned for that position as successor to the Rev. Berry, who is being prominently mentioned for the bishopric in 1928 Record at Emanuel The record made at Emmanuel under the leadership of Dr. Brerry amply attests the activity of his pastorate and what he has accom NOTICE To Whom It May Concern: To Whom it is any Concern.

S. P. B. YOUNG. Business Manager. Swores to and stands before me this morning. My commission expires May 25, 2015. E. L. YOUNG, Notary Public. Concludes Five Years' Service at Emanuel Church REV. L. L. BERRY, D. D. plished. During the five years, under him, the church has had 983 accessions and 371 conversions. Always aggressive, Dr. Berry has instituted many innovations, in cluding the organizing of several young people's groups. One of the most impressive and active of these groups is composed of little children known as "The Flowers of Emanuel." These children funnel flowers for the church, Sunday morning for the sick member, because of the large opportunity given the young people for active church work by Dr. Berry. Emanuel has been a veritable bee hive in the past five years, the loyal support given the pastor by the young folks commanding the attention of Bishop Johnson who strongly commended Dr. Berry's administration of church affairs. The physical improvements accomplished by Emanuel Church under its retiring pastor constitute the complete renovation of the building; the installation of a suprimount floor; and the erection of a new building for a boiler room. As a preacher, Dr. Berry is preeminent. On each Sunday morning during the years he has been in Portsmouth, he has almost invariably preached to capacity audiences. His ability to draw crowds through his unsensational, yet profound and scholarly sermons has proved one of the largest contributing factors to his success. It is said that his church leads the Connection in missionary money and general missionary activities. He is the leader of the church, as chairman of the delegation of the Second Episcopal District to the General Conference in 1924. Dr. Berry's ability as an orator has made him constantly in demand in pulpits of various denominations. All of Virginia eagerly awaits to hear of what appointment will be assigned him, the people of Tidewater being hopeful that his influence will not be lost to this session. Aside from his local activities, Dr. Berry has excercised marked influence in the educational affairs of the A. M. E. Church, being an ardent enthusiast of Kittrell College. He has been an attendant upon practically every meeting of bishops and church general officers in recent years, where his presence is always genuinely welcomed. He returned to the city from the Bishops Council in New Orleans, La., in February. DEDICATORIAL AT MT. OLIVE BAPT. CHURCH CLOSES Attendance And Collections Throughout Services Very Good; Marked Progress Shown. Dedicatory services of the remodeled Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Lindwood, which began Sunday, March 14, closed on Easter Sunday with what is regarded by those who followed the services as a phenominal success. The spirit of Easter was rampant with this congregation, which enjoyed the privilege of recounting the progress made by their church in the past twelve months as well as imbibing the significance of the day. The Sunday school attendance was the history of Mt. Olive. The offering was splendid and the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Harvey Johnson, preschooled and fitting sermons both morning and night. Mt. Olive Baptist Church, which has just concluded its reddictorial services, is now one of the most modernly appointed churches in this vicinity. A commodious Sunday school room has been added and the auditorium of the church increased in its seating capacity. Beyond the physical improvements the membership has been considerably increased under the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Johnson, and every officer and member has unstintedly co-operated with the pastor in bringing the church to its present prestige. The services of Mt. Olive church are unique in the respect that the pastor preaches each Sunday to an audience just about double the size of his actual membership. That is the members themselves return to each and every service and they are augmented by several visitors. During the redoecatorial services every pastor who was scheduled to have a part on the program filled his appointment and rendered excellent services. The collections were very creditable, and the attendance throughout was very good. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE ON WHAT DO YOU BASE YOUR FAITH IN IMMORTALITY? At Grace Church last Sunday, Easter Day, the church was crowded to capacity. Many said that it was the largest Easter congregation that has ever been seen at the church. The largest number went to the Altar for the Holy Communion during the present Rectorate. The church was very beautifully decorated with green pot flowers and the Altar was decorated with lilies. At eleven o'clock the full vested choir began "Welcome Morning Morning." Small Shall Morning Prayer a shortened form of Morning Prayer the service of the Holy Communion followed. Rev. Harris preached a very strong sermon from Job. 14:14. "If a man die shall he live again." He began by saying that Christ's disciples had no trouble believing in His death, but that they were very reluctant to believe that He was alive. So it with us, we accept as a certainty death, but we are not sure about life. It doesn't require any argument to convince us of death because we see it on all sides. We even see nations die as for example, Egypte, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome. This absolves the challenge of death has all the best minds of all ages. It was this fact which made the writer of the book of Job ask the question of the text. Rev. Harris proceeded to show the various answers that have been given to this question, first after tracing the apparent rising of the thing that was the contribution that nature had to make was that there was a probability. Next the answer of Greek philosophy was studied as seen in Resolutions on Resignation of Rev. F. W. Williams The following resolutions we were passed by the officers of the Queen Street Baptist Church as a manifestation of the esteem in which the members of that church hold their retiring pastor, the Rev. F. W. Williams, D. D., who is leaving the city after 21 years here to take charge of Rodman Street Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Pa: Whereas more than twenty-one (21) years are on the membership of the Church in our prayers and found through the direction of God our fifteen Father, Rev. F. W. Williams, our pastor, life, new desires, new ideas, and whereas his work with us for the last twenty-one years has mount progress step-by-step on Whereas through his leadership we have arisen from obscurity to be known not only locally, State and its trip to Hirundo Land and other foreign countries was the trip of our Church. And whereas through his leadership workers and has taught us to know the Church, and him Gracious Jesus and Him Gracious Jesus financially almost independent, and where as he has led us into the beautiful edifice on Gundershiel Street, (Corner of Cumberland and Queen), and the Calvert-Marshall Avenue proclaims to do humility pastor and with sorrow we make the following resolutions: as much as he fully believes that is a Macdonald Call for him to leave us and go to Pittsburgh, that we how and say Lord thy will be done, that as he leaves us, his caregivers with him the host wishes and big-records of every member of our church to go with him and his family as they leave us for their field of labor, and that wherever he comes this way, and that his future success will be our Glory, and that he will ever rejoice with us and do we keep Fourth, that, in as much as he has not only been a pastor, but a leader in social, moral and civic issues in our city and country, he has been their Big Brother; it uplifts saddens our hearts for his departure from our midst. Fifth, that, we commend his life in the hands of our Heavenly Father who makes no mistakes in His dealing with his subjects. Sixth, Whereas, Mrs. Bessie Williams, the wife of our pastor, has left no stone unturned in her efforts to be should be. For twenty-one years she has stood solidly at his back as leader of the choir, Sunday School teacher, Leader in Missionary Society, community uplift, and work and Service in our Church then our pastor for she has been his true backbone in all his efforts for the forward progress of all members of Norfolk Va. Seventh, that, we arrange for a farmland revitalization to our pastor at which time representative from various kinds of Comms will be invited; his will take part with representatives of; Committee: T. J. Christian, Secretary; W. J. Wadley, W. J. White, D. G. Jincox chairman; Brown. To the officers and members of Queen St. Mary's Church in January 1926, we are in council with our beloved pastor, to our surprise and like a thunderbolt out of the clouds we are grateful to you for us, us, us, us, us that he was going to leave us. We all hate to give up our pastor, but after careful and prayerful consideration, we are grateful to you for the name of the Lord, trusting that the Almighty may be his guidance wherever he goes. To the trustees and deacons of the Queen Street Baptist Church, do command the same to the memorial of the friends of our pastor for your church for your avail: Resolved that, in releasing our pastor that we will always leave an open door for us. Resolved that we shall always lift his name high in our church to show our appreciation for the great work he has done. Resolved that we do command him to his next congregation as a God-sent minister and a Christian gentleman, coming to the church of the great street Baptist Church, of Norfolk, Virginia. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions will be sent to the minister's token of respect and to show our appreciation of his stay of 21 years with us. The Deacon and Trustee Boards Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. These three great minds all answer the question, yes. Then the answer of the Old Testament was given as see nii David, Isaiah and Job. Then coming to a climax the speaker said "Nature says it is probable, Greek philosophy says yes and the Old Testament says yes, but I call your attention to the fact that in the latter cases it was an answer based on personal conviction alone. It was their personal faith, but it was nothing, absolutely to base here. Is there Christ comes upon me? He went to His death with the words on His lips "On the third day He shall rise again" and on the third day we have the words "He is risen." He not only asserted it but proved it. He answers the question "If a man die shall he live again" yes and says I am the proof. Then He goes further and says "He that believe in me though he die yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." That means to me, when I say believe in God the latter differ from the Greek and Old Testament says in that they base their belief on their own conviction while I base my conviction of the fact that Christ is risen. The speaker then proceeded to show the difference that this conviction made, first in our estimate of ourselves, in our hopes for our loved ones and in our conception of humanity as a whole. He concluded with the thought that not only is Christ's assurance simply of immortality but it is immortal life in companionship with Jesus "Because I live ye shall live also." The choir rendered very beautifully special music for Easter, the Anthem "He is Risen." The children of the Church School held their program at 4 p.m., when a good boy was present, when a large box offerment larger than last year. Little Miss Charlina Owings won first prize, Little Miss Lucille Layne, second, Little Miss Alma Givens, third, and honorable mention for Masters James Fields and Alexander Wright. At the evening service a very good congregation was present and Rev. Harris made a short address, the choir rendering special music. The Easter offering was very successful being larger than last year. The congregation thought that they had broken all records last year but this year it was even more. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The First Baptist Church has just launched its annual Spring Rally. The aim is to raise $5,000 by the fourth Sunday in April to be applied on some debts and for the running of its home for the aged. This latter project is quite an expensive undertaking. At present there are twelve aged men and women being cared for. They must be fed, clothed, supplied with medical care, kept warm and watched over by their month out. Whether the promises of relatives or organizations be kept or not, these old people must be looked after. The membership of the church has been divided into two main divisions, the Holy Pilgrims led by Attorney Charles G. Archer and the Faithful Saints led by Mrs. F. W. James. Both these chief leaders have the support of many capable and determined men and wom- Young Ladies S.S. Classes Arrange Joint Mass Meeting The young ladies who are members of the Delta Alpha Class of St. John's A. M. E. Sunday School; the Young Ladies' Bible class of Bank Street, Baptist Sunday school; and the Dorcas class of First Baptist Sunday school, are arranging for a large mass meeting during the month of May. The object of the meeting will be the young ladies classes in particular and Sunday School work in general. The three classes recognized the fact that they worked along parallel lines and realized that a joint meeting might stimulate each group. Efforts had been made by the individual classes to get in touch with the other groups. Representatives met at the residence of Miss Lucille Douglas, member of the Delta Alpha S. S. School, on March 4th, at 8 p. m., at which time organization was effected. Mrs. Maria Steptoe, chairman; Mrs. Zenobia Malloy, secretary; Mrs. White, treasurer; Chairman of President; Miss Lulie. Douglass; Decoration MACEDONIA CHRISTIAN CHURCH The Sunday school was largely attended and the Easter lesson was beautifully explained. At 11:30 pastor delivered an eloquent sermon, using as his subject: "The Risen Lord." At 3 o'clock the Sunday school presented a beautiful cantata and the children performed their parts well, the Easter drill and march being the most interesting part of the program. The pastor conducted the services' at night. The egg hunt given by the Christian Endeavor on Monday afternoon was a success in every way.

M. E. CONFERENCE TO MEET NEXTWEEK Sixtieth Annual Session Will Be Held at Wytheville With Bishop J. Albert Johnson Presiding. (By George R. Jones) The Virginia Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church will hold its Sixtht Annual session in the town of Wytheville, Va., next week. The Rt. Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D.D., of Philadelphia, Pa., presiding Bishop of the 2nd Episcopal District will preside. The conference is composed of seventy-two traveling preachers, four superannuates, three supernumeries, two local elders and twenty-two local deacons. There are eighty-four appointments in the conference, embracing fifty-one counties of the State, with a membership of 15,021 communicants. From this membership and the friends of our great church throughout the State more than twenty-five thousand dollars will be given to finance the local and general church for the ensuing Annual Conference year. The Dollar Money will be around seven thousand five hundred dollars. Forty-five years ago this conference committed itself to the sacred cause of Home and Foreign Missions, and there has been a steady increase in its collections for this particular Department since then. Beginning with less than $200.00, there will be reported to the Conference next week $10.510.94 for Missionary endeavors. This amount includes the Conference Branch Woman's Mite Missionary Society, Easter Day collections and other auxiliary aids in the Annual Conference and churches. The Educational program in the State has been, for more than thirty years very indefinite. Our churches for the most part have for years observed our Educational Day as such, but the amount collected was far below the needs of our school (Kittrell College). Our last annual collection for education was $1724.13. Next week the conference will receive approximately $2,500 together with personal donations and gifts as are generally made to the Conference each year by ministers and friends of educational. The activities of our young people's Department are reflected in the splendid collections they will report for the Sunday School and Allen Christian Endeavor League, $1000.00, while the General Church has made provision for our superannuated ministers in the way of a Quarterly Stipend. The Virginia Conference supplements this provision with what is known as a Preacher's Relief As sociation and reported to this fund Other items totaling around $8,000.00 will be reported. The complaint is made by many of our less informed members and friends that the Church is over-taxed, and these additional obligations are causing unrest and dissatisfaction among our parishers. The statement as to taxation is misleading and unreasonable to say the least. In the first place the A. M. E. Church has a program, and upon this program must of necessity rest a system. The program and the system are based upon the promise of the members of our respective churches, who pledge to "contribute to the support of the Gospel Church and poor, and the various benevolent enterprises of the church." We therefore systematize our benevolent enterprises so as to cover this promise. How well our financial plan, authorized by the General Conference of 1872, has worked may be determined by the report of Dr. J. R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the church, submitted to our last General Conference at Louisville, Kentucky, May, 1924. St. John and Emanuel are the two leading charges of the conference with an aggregate membership of 3,992. Doctors J. A. Young and L. B. Lerry are the pass- Virginia A. M. E.

Each class, after a study period, made an excellent report, the Adult Class winning the banner. At 11:30 a large congregation was present to hear Rev. Billips preach the Easter sermon from 1 Cor. 15:20. In the afternoon an enthusiastic covenant meeting was held. The B. Y. P. U. met at the regular hour and rendered a pleasing program.

She, too, would open her tired arms wide, wide. Then they would say in a duet, his mouth a puckered pink petal, hers quivering with tenderness and a certain amusement, "So-o-o big!" with the voice soaring on the prolonged vowel and dropping suddenly with the second word of game. She would run to him, and swoop down on him, and bury her flushed face in the warm moist creases of his neck, and make as though to devour him. "So big!" But of course he wasn't. He never became as big as the widest stretched arms of her love and imagination would have had him. You would have thought she should have been satisfied when, in later years, he was the Dirk DeJong whose name you saw (engruved) at the top of heavy cream linen paper, so rich and thick and as stiff as to have the effect of being starched and ironed by some costly American business process; whose clohes were made by Peter Peel the English tailor; whose master at a French school; whose wants were seized by a Japanese house whose life, in short, was that of a successful citizen of the republic. But she wasn't. Not only was she dissatisfied: she was at once remorseful and indignant, as though she Selina DeJong, the vegetable peddler, had been partly to blame for this success of his, and partly cheated by it. When Solina DeJong had been Solina Peake she had lived in Chicago with her father. They had lived in many other cities as well. In Denver during the rampant $8s. In New York when Solina was twelve. In Milwaukee briefly. There was even a San Francisco interlude which was always a little sketchy in Solina's mind and which had ended in a departure so hurried as to bewilder even Solina who had learned to accept sudden comings and abrupt gains without question. "Business," her father always said. "Little ditee. She is the day of the deal how literally the new deal was applicable to his transactions. Simeon Peake traveling the country with his little daughter, was a gambler by profession, temperament, and natural talent. When in luck they lived royally, stopping at the best hotels, eating strange, succulent sea-vinies, going to the play, driving in hired bikes (always with two horses. If Simeon Peake had not enough money for a two-house equipage he walked). When fortune bid her face lived in boarding houses, a住碍ing-house meals, wore the clothes bought when fortune's breath was belaying. During this time Solina Peake was good, had a prudent, with surprising similarity considering her beauty existence. She had a beautiful time. Except for three years, to recall which was to her like entering a somber key room on leaving a warm and glowing one, her life was free, interesting, varied. She made decisions usually devolving upon the adult mind. She selected clothes. She ruled her father. She AGNEW She Read Absorbed Books Found in Boarding-House Parlors. read absorbed books found in boarding-house parlors. in hotels, in public libraries as the times afforded. She was alone for hours a day, daily. Frequently her father, fearful of loneliness for her, brought her an armful of books and she had an orgy, dipping and swapping among them in a room's cestuary of estuary. In this way, she knew the writings of Lyron. Jane Austen, Dickens, Charlotte Bronte, Felicien Hemans. Her three dark years—from nine to twelve—were spent with her two maiden ants, the Misses Sarah and Abbie Peake, in the dim, prim Vermont Peake house from which her father, the black sheep, had run Mrs. Hattie Coles was mistress of ceremonies and Mrs. Fannie Black-well musical director. *Rev. J. W. Draper* preached a striking sermon last Sunday at Coffee's Chapel away when a boy. After her mother's death Simeon Peake had sent his little daughter back east in a fit of remorse and temporary helplessness on his part and a spurt of forgiveness and churchly charity on the part of his two sisters. The two women were incredibly drawn in the pattern of the New England spinster of fiction. Mitts, preserves, Bible, chilly best room, solenm and kiteness cat, order, little-girls-mustn't. They snailled of apples of withered apples that have rotted at the core. Something of this she must have conveyed, in her desperation, to her mother in an unconcerned letter. Without a word, she had come for her, and at sight of him she had been guilty of the only fit of hysteria that marked her life, before or after the episode. So, then, from twelve to nineteen she was happy. They had come to Chicago in 1885, when she was sixteen. There they remained, Selina attended Miss Fister's Select School for Young Ladies. When her father brought her there she had raised quite a flutter in the Fister breast—so soft-spoken was he, so gentle so sad appearing, so winning as to smile. In the investment business, he explained, Stocks and that kind of thing. A widower, Miss Fister said, yes she understood. Simeon Peake had had nothing of the look of the professional gambler of the day. The wide slouch hat, the flowing moustache, the glittering eye, the too-bright boots, the gay cravat, all were missing in Simeon Peake's make-up. True he did sport a singularly clear white diamond pin in his shirt front; and his hat he were just a little on one side. But then, both were in the male mode and quite commonly seen. For the rest he seemed a mild and savve man, slim, a trifle diffident, speaking seldom and then with a New England drawl by which he had come honestly enough, Vermont Peake that he was. He was a man of character. It was bouncing prepossers. He played in good luck and bad, but he managed somehow to see to it that there was always the money to pay for the Fister schooling. Selina was happy. She knew only such young people—girls as she met at Miss Fister's school. Her chum was Julie Hempel, daughter of August Hempel, the Clark street butcher. You probably now own some Hempel stock. If you're lucky; and eat Hempel bacon and Hempel hams encreed in the oven. You can get a distance from butcher of 1885 to packer of 1880 was but only a five-year leap. Being so much alone developed in her a gift for the make-believe. In a comfortable, well-dressed way she was a sort of mixture of Dick Swiveler's Marchioness and Sarah Crewe. Even in her childhood she extracted from life the double enjoyment that comes usually only to the creative mind. "Now I'm doing this. Now I'm doing that," she told herself while she was doing it. Looking on while she participated. Perhaps her theater-going had something to do with this. At an age when most little girls were not only unheard but practically unseen, she occupied a grown-up seat in play, her rapt face in its dark serious eyes. In a sort of sorrowful father as she sat proudly next her father. Simone Peake had the gambler's love of the theater, himself possessing the dramatic quality necessary to the successful following of his profession. In this way Sellin, half-hidden in the depths of an orchestra seat, wrigled in estatic antidulation when the certain ascertained on the grotesque rows of Haverly's minstrels. She witnessed that startling innovation, a Jewish play called "Samuel of Posen." She saw Fannie Davenport in "Iquae," "The thing I like about plays and books is that anything can happen. Anything! You never know," Sellin said. "No different from life," Simeon Peake assured her. "You've no idea the things that happen to you if you just relax and take them as they come." Curiously enough, Simeon Peake said this, not through ignorance, but deliberately and with reason. In his way and day he was a very modern father. "I want you to see all kinds," he would say to her. "want you to remember just this a grand adventure. A fine show. The trick is to play in it and look at it at the same time," Simeon whole thing? "Living. All mixed up. The more kinds of people you see, and the more things you do, and the more things that happen to you, the richer you are. Even if they're not pleasant things. That's living. Remember, no matter what happens, good or bad, it's just so much"—he used the gambler's term, unconciously—"just so much velvet." But Selina, somehow understood, "You mean that anything's better than being Aunt Sarah and Aunt Abble." "Well—yes. There are only two kinds of people in the world that really count. One kind's wheat and the other kind's emeralds." "Ranny Davenport's an emerald," said Selina, and rather surprise, kindly, and herself saying it. "Yes. That's it." "And—and Julie Hemel's father—he's when." "By golly, Sole!" shouted Simeon Peake. "You're a shrewd little tike." Julie Hempel and Selina Peake both finished products of Miss Fisher's school were of an age—nineteen. Selina, on this September day, had been spending the afternoon with Julie, and now, adjusting her clothes, clipped her hands over her ears to shut out the sounds of Julie's importunions that she stay to supper. Certainly the prospect of the usual Monday evening meal in Mrs. Tebbitt's boarding house did not present sufficient excuse for Selina's refusal. She appalled with the detached dish for dish by the urgent Julie brought little greedy groans from Selina. "It's prairie chickens—three of them—that a farmer west of town brought Father. Mother fixes them from the subject, "Two Ways of Life," Servant, at the second Baptist Church were well attested Sunday. Rev. R. L. Heck preached an eloquent sermon. *Mrs. Ethel NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE with stuffing, and there's currant jell. Creamed onions and baked tomatoes. And for dessert, apple roll. Selma snapped the elastic holding her high-crowned hat under her chignon of hair in the back. She uttered a final and quivering groom. "On Monday nights we have cold mutton and cabbage at Mrs. Tebbitts. This is Monday." Well then, silly, why not stay?" "I don't have to sit. If I don't there he's disappointed." Julie, plump, blonde, placed, forsook her soft white blundishments and tried steel against the steel of Selma's decision. "He leaves you right after supper. And you alone every night until twelve and after." "I don't see what that has to do with it." Selma said silly. "If I'm not there he's disappointed. And that terrible Mrs. Tebbitt makes eyes at him. He hated it there. You stay. I never could see. You've been there four months now, and I think it's herird and sturdy, and oilcloth on the stairs." "Father has had some temporary business backs." Jule, fond though defeated, kissed her friend goodbye. Selina walked quickly the short distance from the Hempel house to Teeblitt's, on Dearborn avenue. Up in her second-floor room she took off her hat and called to her father, but he had not yet come in. She was glad of that. She had been fearful of being late. She regarded her hat with some distaste, decided to rip off the faded spring roses, drip a stitch or two only to wear more faded than the roses, and that the uncovered surface showed up a dark splatter like a wall-spot when a picture, long bang, is removed. So she got a needle and prepared to tack the offending rose in its accustomed place. Peredled on the arm of a chair near the window, taking quick, deft stitches, she heard a sound she had never heard before, and yet, hearing it, recognized it by one of those pangs, centuries old, called woman's AGNIEW Thud- Shuffle- Thud- Shuffle- Up the Narrow Stairway. instinct. Thud- shuffle- thud- shuffle- up the narrow stairway, along the passage. She stood up, the needle poised in her hand. The hat fell to the floor. Her eyes were wide, fixed. Her eyes slightly parted. The listening look. She knew. She knew even before she heard the man's house voice saying, "Lift 'er up there a little on the corner, now. Easy—easy." And Miss Teebolt's high, shrill comment: "You can't bring it in there! You didn't bring to bring it in here like this!" Selimia's suspended breath came back. She was pennanting now. She had fungi open the door. A flat, still burden, partially covered with a creosite, creositely funged over the face. The feet in their squarre-footed boots, wubbled bittessy. Selimia noticed how shiny the boots were. He was always very fluffy about such things. Simeon Peake had been shot in Jeff Hawkins' place at five in the afternoon. The bray of it was that the bullet had not been intended for him at all. Its derided course had been due to feminine aim. Sped by one or those over-dramatic ladies who, armed with horsehair or pistol in tarly defense of their honor, spanned Chicago's dull sirs with their doings, it had been meant for a well-known newspaper publisher usually mentioned (in papers other than his own) as a bon vip. The lady's leader remonstrance was to have been proof of the fact that he had been more vivacious than him. It was, perhaps, because of this that the matter was pretty well hushed up. The publisher's paper—which was Chicago's foremost—scarcely mentioned the incident, and purposefully misspelled the name. The lady, thinking her task accomplished, had taken truer aim with her second bullet, and had saved herself the trouble of trial by human hurt. Simeon Peake left his daughter Selima a legacy of two fine blue-white diamonds (the had had the gambler's love of them) and the sum of four hundred and ninety-seven dollars in cash. Just how he had managed to have a sum like this put by was a mystery. The envelope containing it had evidently once held a larger sum. It had been sealed, and then slit. On the inside was written, in Simeon Peake's fine, damned hand: "For my little daughter Selima Peake in ease anything should happen to me." It bore a date seven years old. What the original sum had been no one ever knew. To Selima fell the choice of earning her own living or of returning Watson and Miss Edmonia Drew were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Burns Sunday. To Miss Lillian Jones, Miss Alice Bridgeford and Miss Lillian Briggs, of to the Vermont village and becoming a withered and sapless dried apple, with black fuzz and mold at her heart, like her aunts, the Misses Sarah and Abbie Peake. She did not hostile. "But what kind of work?" Julie Hempel demanded. "What kind of work can you do?" Women—that is, the Selina Peakes—did not work. "I—well, I can teach." "Teach what?" "The things I learned at Miss Fister's." "You have to do something first—go to Normal, or teach in the country, don't you?—before you can teach in the public schools. They're mostly old. Twenty-five or even five years old." more with nineteen's inexperience so imagine an age beyond thirty. "Then I'll just teach a country school, I'm good at arithmetic. You know that." Julie should have known it, having had all her Fister suns solved by Selina. "Country schools are just arithmetic and grammar and geography." "You! Teaching a country school!" She looked at Selina. She saw a misleadingly delicate face, the skull small and exquisitely formed. The check bones rather high—or perhaps they looked so because of the fact that the eyes, dark, soft and lunacious, were unusually deep-set in their sockets. The face, instead of narrowing to a soft curve at the chin, developed unexpected strength in the jaw line. That line, line, steel-strong, sharp and clear, was of the stuff of which pioneer women are made. Julie, inexperienced in the art of reading the human physiognomy, did not decipher the meaning of it. Selina's hair was thick, long and fine, so that she plipped it easily in the loops, colls and knots that fashioned her hair. Her nose was exquisite. When she laughed it had the trick of wrinkling just a little across the narrow bridge; very engaging and mischievous. She was thought a rather plain little thing, which she wasn't. The eyes were what you named and remembered. Perhaps it was this velvety softness of the eyes that caused one to overlook the firmness of the lower face. When the next ten years had done their worst to her, and Julie had suddenly come upon her stepping aptly out of a truck gardener's wagon on the俯面 avenue, a tanned, weather-beaten, and tuned, in turn, skewered to a knob and held by a long gray hair, with the full curly skirt grimmed with the mid of the wagon wheel, a pair of men's old-skirts on a skin felt, a grotesquely buttered old felt hat (her husband) on her head, her arms full of cars of sweet and carrots, and radishes, and bunches of beets, a woman with bad teeth, flat breasts, a sagging pocket in the capricious skirt—then Julie, starling, had known her by her eyes. And she had run to her in her silk soft and fine silk shirtwaist and her hat with the plume and had cried, Oh, Schultz I dear, my dear, My dear!" "My dear!" And had taken Selenia, carrens, beers, corn and radishes, in her arms. The vegetables lay scattered all about them on the sidewalk in front of Julie Hempel Arnold's great stone house on Prairie avenue. But strangely enough it had been Selina who had done the comforting, putting Julie's silken shoulder and saying, over and over: "There, there! It's all right, Julie. It's all right. Don't cry. What's there to cry for! Slil . . . It's all right." (Continued next week) VIRGIN ISLANDS BILL FAVORABLY REPORTED OUT Senate Measure Would Provide Permanent Form Of Government for Possessions Similar To Porto Rico. (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D. C., April 6. The Committee on Insular Affairs has favorably reported a bill introduced by Representative Edgar S. Kiss, Republican, of Pennsylvania, to provide a permanent form of government for the Virgin Islands. The committee recommended the passage of the bill as amended by it. The Insular Affairs Committee held extensive hearings on the Kiss and other bills, H. B. Berg and H. Hamilton Jackson, Berg members of the St. Croix Colonial Council, and J. D. Hestress, member of the Colonial Council of St. Thomas and St. John, testified before the committee. Gen. Frank McIntyre, chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs; Rear Admiral S. W. Kitelle, former Governor of the Virgin Islands; D. Rufus S. Tucker, special investigator for the Treasury Department; Commander Raymond Stone, of the Judge Advocate General's Office of the United States Navy, and A. A. Beller Jr., of New York City, also appeared before the committee and stated their views in regard to the provisions of the bill. Acquired In 1917 The Virgin Islands were purchased in 1917 from Denmark for $25,000,000. Congress at that time continued the old Danish laws. The Insular Affairs Committee in its report recommending the passage of the Kissi bill declared that "it has been the American policy that shortly after the pass this city, Mr. and Mrs. Waverly Wilson and Mrs. Lillie Wilson, of Petersburg, were guests of A. R. and Mrs. J. D. Wilson, Baldwin Sunday. "Easter service of Coffee's Chapel were well attended Sunday night when a program was carried out. Mrs. Bailey was mis-signed of ceremonies and Mrs. Annie Jones, organist. "Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Heek and mother were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bradshaw Monday. 34 Republican Senators Will Leave Washington To Repair Their Fences sage of the act for temporary government of our possessions Congress has passed an act providing for the permanent government along substantially the lines of this bill. It was done in the case of Hawai, Porto Rico, and the Philippines, but in the case of the Virgin Islands it has not been done. "Owing to the limited resources of the Virgin Islands, your committee has endeavored in this bill to provide as economical form of government as possible and at the same time grant the people of the Virgin Islands full rights of citizenship and local autonomy. "The bill as reported by the committee is drafted in accord with the policy which we found it expedient to follow when we acquired the island of Porto Rico. The bill of rights is practically word for word the same as the bill of rights contained in the organic law of Porto Rico. It is the traditionally well-settled bill of rights which has been passed upon by the courts. It is well understood by our own colonial administrators and by the people who will have to interpret t h e laws." Follows Porto Rico Law The bill further follows the Porto Rico Law by providing that all property which may have been acquired in the Virgin Islands by the United States shall pass over to the government now to be established. It provides, however, that the United States reserves the right within one year after this bill becomes effective to designate and retain such portions of the islands as may be necessary for its own national interest. It is provided in the bill that the judicial process shall run in the name of the United States. It is also true of Porto Rico and places it in line with the jurisdiction of the United States in Porto Rico and the Phillippines. Jurisdiction of the Virgin Islands would be placed under the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War Department, by the provisions of the bill. The Insular Affairs Committee reported that the Bureau of Insular Affairs is equipped to do this work, as it now has charge of Porto Rico and the Philippines. It is really our American colonial office for overseas possession." Supreme Power The bill as reported vests the supreme executive power in a "Governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States," who would be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. He would hold his office at the pleasure of the President. His official residence would be in the Virgin Islands. The governor would have the power to appoint a government attorney, a treasurer, a director of education, a director of agriculture and public works, and a director of public health, the appointment of these executive officers, by the governor, however, be subject to the approval of the Chief of Insular Affairs of the War Department. The bill also provides for the appointment of an auditor by the President. The auditor is also designated as executive secretary. This provision is similar to that of the Porto Rico act. For legislative purposes the Virgin Islands would be separated in two municipalities, which is the organization that now exists. "In local affairs each council retains its own jardification," the Insular Affairs Committee stated in its report. "There are, however, certain joint activities which the islands should agree on together the committee report and to cover these joint activities meeting these the councils in joint session is provided. Th e y must meet at least once a year." The salary of the governor is fixed at $7,000 a year. The salary of the auditor is fixed at $3,000 a year. The bill provides that appeals from the police courts of the Virgin Islands shall be made to the United States District Court of Porto Rico. At the present time appeals are made to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Philadelphia. TROTTER'S REPLY SAYS ATTUCKS COLORED MAN Boston Mass.-William Monroe Trotter, secretary of the National Equal Rights League, has written to Walter Kendall Watkins concerning his recent criticism of the historical accuracy of the Boston Massacre Day proclamation lately issued by Gov. Fuller and also his statement that Crispus Attuck was not of partly Negro decent. The Equal Rights League, secretary states that the authority for the statement that Paul Revere arrived shortly after the massacre and pronounced the words quoted by Gov. Fuller in the proclamation is a story of the life and times of Paul Revere by Walter Allen, the eminent college life in "Who's Who in America," as having been a staff writer or editor of several important newspapers and magazines and the author of several well-known books. This history has been accepted for the State Library. According to the secretary, Mr. Dyer records Revere as arriving too late to avert the tragedy, but in Thirty-four Will Repair To Their Homes To Render An Account of Stewardship In Washington, During Fall. Washington, D. C., April 6—34 Senators must face the electorate of their respective states in both primary and general elections this year. Of this number 27 are Republicans and 7 are Democrats. Only one primary has been held thus far this year. It was in South Dakota where Senator Peter Norbeck, Republican, was nominated to succeed himself. Next Primary The next primary will be in Illinois on April 13. Senator William B. McKinley is being opposed for the Republican nomination by Frank L. Smith. The principal issue in this contest is the Volunteer Service Act, which is opposed to the entrance of the United States into the World Court. McKinley's Record The record of Senator McKinley in the United States Senate as it particularly affects the Negro is also an issue. On this question however, Senator McKinley seems to be the better of the fight. since his election in 1920, he has advocated the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill and in the present session of Congress introduced in the Senate a bill identical with the revised measure as introduced in the House by Representative L. C. Dyer, Republican, of Missouri. Senator McKinley was also prominent in the fight for the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen as controller of customs at New Orleans, La. He has visited the White House frequently and urged larger recognition of colored Republicans by appointment to Federal Offices of importance. From all reports from Illinois. Senator McKinley will poll a large colored vote, his office stated Monday. Indiana Primaries The Indiana Primaries will follow those in Illinois. The date is May 4. Both Senators James E. Watson and A. R. Robinson, Republicans, come before their electorate for the Republican nomination. The term of Senator Watson is expiring on March 3, next. Senator Robinson was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by t he death of Senator Samuel L. Ralston. Two Senators from Indiana will be chosen in the general election. Senator George Wharton Pepper, Republican, is being opposed for the Pennsylvania nominator by Governor Pinchot and Representative William S. Vare. This primary follows the Indiana primary. The date is May 18. Other Republicans who must face their party in primaries are: Senators Robert N. Stanfield, of Oregon; Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa; Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota; Charles Curtis, of Kansas; George H. Williams, of Missouri; John W. P. Ernst, of Oklahoma; Frank P. Ernst, of Kentucky; Frank B. Wills, of Ohio; Samuel M. Shortridge, of California; Tasker L. Oldie, of Nevada; George H. Moses, of New Hampshire; Irvine L. Lenroo, of Wisconsin; Ralph H. Cameron, of Arizona; William M. Butler, of Massachusetts; O. E. Weller, of Maryland; Porter H. Dale, of Vermont; Wesley L. Jones, of Washington; Jas. W. Wadsworth, Jr., of New York; Frank R.

Slave With Short Curled Hair In regard to the charge that Attucks was not Colored, the secretary refers to the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, published in October, page 300, wherein it is stated that in the Boston Gazette of November 20, 1809, advertisement appeared announcing that Crispus, a mulatto, had run away from his master, William Browne of Framingham. The advertisement described Crispus as being 27 years old, well set, 6 ft., 2 in., short curled hair, etc. The article goes on to say, according to the secretary, that the above-mentioned man is presumed to be Crispus Attucks, who fell at the Boston massacre, and was beaten by Boston Browne have a pewter drinking cup belonging to Attucks, and his powder horn. That article is signed by C. H. Morse, Cambridge, July 23, 1859 J. H. Temple, the reply of the Equal Rights League secretary goes on to say, a native of Framingham whose ancestor represented the town before the Revolution at patriot conventions, in a history of Framingham states that Attucks was a mulatto, born in Framingham, and that the old hole where the Attucks family lived is still visible. Temple is quoted as saying that Attucks was the descendant of John Attucks, an Indian, and that it is quite probable that the family had intermarried with Negroes who were slaves. LUMBERTON Lumberton, N. C.—Services at the various churches were very good Easter Sunday. At Sandy Grove Baptist Church, the Sunday school was largely attended and many helpful thoughts were brought out on the lesson.

Holy communion service was held in the SATURDAY; APRIL 10, 1928 NEW PRESIDENT OF FISK HOPEFUL IN HIS POSITION Chicago, April 6—In a dispassionate talk before the Fisk Alumni group of this city, Thomas Elsa Jones, newly-chosen president of the Nashville Institution, warned that if education for black men and women is to survive in this country, the men and women most interested in its promulgation must share the bulk of its financial responsibilities. This observation came to him, Dr. Jones asserted, after studying the insistent demand for group leadership in the Japanese Children and Indians, all of whom, along with men everywhere are seeking sincerity and group leadership. And with such leadership comes group responsibility. The Negro, he emphasized, must be responsible for his leadership. Mr. Jones explained that he undertook the work at Fisk because he believed in its future as a great social experiment and against the advice of many friends who warned him that by going to Fisk, he would lose his social standing and jeopardize his life. Then he became aware that segregation is becoming wider and wider and that he would have little opportunity to work out his ideals of brotherhood at Fisk. evening.

M. B. Birette. His subject was, "If a Man Die Shall He Live Again?" Job 14:14. Each statement served as a greater assurance for the Christians, showing them that they too, shall risign as Christ did. He declared that man must realize the existence and greatness of a supreme being seeing all the wonders of the universe and how all things move and act on appointed time. He then emphasize the sufferings of Christians from the beginning of christianity telling how in this world innocence has suffered and received no reward. This he assured the congregation should encourage us to feel more strongly that man die but their works do follow them, that all cannot end in the grave, that justice must be meted out to these innocent sufferers some time some where. All present were greatly benefited by the touching discourse.

Harmon at the age of six years was taken to Fort Siil, Indian Territory, by his father, an officer in the Union Army, he began a most unusual experience. His intimate friendship with several Negro men in the regiment enabled him to learn many things a vigorous boy in that frontier life wanted to know. He never forgot those early friendships, and since then Mr. Harmon has had a deep admiration and sympathy for Negroes and a full appreciation of the raw conditions they have faced in America. He has all along desired to assist them through some plan which would be stimulative of their creative capacity and independent initiative. In previous nation-wide projects, Mr. Harmon has included Negro applicants. For instance, in his offer for playground development Negro communities developing playgrounds purchased under the plan he offered. In his nationwide development of student loans two Negro institutions, Pisk and Howard, have been included in the plan. But straight business loans cannot enable the student to pay his expenses and retain his self-respect and independence when he repays what he has borrowed Aided By Church Commission When it occurred to Mr. Harmon to offer some special awards for distinguished achievement among Negroes, he turned to the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches to assist him in working on his plans and putting them into operation. These awards are not designed as a competition but to bring recognition to persons who have made outstanding achievements in the fields covered but who may not otherwise become known to the general public. It is hoped by the donor that these awards will prove so satisfactory that after a period of about five years they will be made permanent. Seven awards are open only to Negroes of American residence of either sex, and an eight award open to any person, white or colored, who has made outstanding achievement in improving race relations. The awards cover the fields of Literature, Music, Fine Arts, Industry including Business, Science including invention, Education, Religion, Race Relations. For each field, with the exception of Race Relations, there are two awards offered—a first award of $400 and a gold medal, and a second award of $100 and a bronze medal. The award in Race Relations is the award in Music Medal to any person of American residence, white or colored, who has made the outstanding achievement in improving relations between white and Negro peoples in America. Methods of Judging A candidate may have his case considered either by nomination, by direct submission, or upon the initiative of the judges. Nominations or applications for the first annual awards must be filed in writing on or before June 1, 1926, with George E. Haynes, Secretary of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations, 105 East 22nd street, New York, on forms that may be obtained from him. An announcement of the successful candidates for the present year will be made on or about December 1, 1926, and the awards given on January 1, 1927. Each nomination or application must be supported by a copy of a book or other publication, by manuscript, by photograph or drawing with description of art object or the other material submitted by any candidate or on his behalf. Other written or material evidence of achievement must also be submitted on or before June 1, 1926.

Newport News, Va.—A pathetic scene was witnessed in Police Court here, when a man and a woman, who had for five years lived together as husband and wife and who are the parents of two children were arraigned before Justice Locks on a statutory charge, growing out of their illicit relationship. The complainant against the couple was the brother of the accused man, who told the court that for five years his brother had worked regularly and earned good money at the shipyard and regularly each Saturday and had given it to his common-law wife for the running of their home and the rearing of their children. This brother who knew of the life his brother and the woman were living, didn't seem to become purity incensed over the situation until he two recently became engaged in civil litigation against each other and the accused brother won out. To get even, it seems, the brother who lost in the civil case, decided to expose the wining brother's illicit marital relations, which he did sweep out and erase. A man accused of pursuing prosecuting witches. The names in this story were purposefully omitted so as not to injure innocent little children. Justice Locke, although realizing that the law was being violated, did not appear to look at the matter with the same spirit of vindictiveness as the complaining witness, inasmuch as it w a s brought out that the accused couple had lived peacefully in the community and had worked hard to properly rear their children. It seems that the court was more anxious in finding a way to lawfully keep the home intact and protect the illegitimate off-spring than of punishing them, so after learning that the man had a living wife from whom he had been strangled for a number of years thus making marriage between itself and his common-law wife impossible, the court decided to continue the case until the attorney for the couple could institute divorce proceedings for the man against his estranged wife, in the meantime, the court couponed the couple to have no further improper relations with each other until the matter could be brought within the province of the law. The couple left the court room with tears streaming down their cheeks. April sixth to the eighth. Mrs. L. Mississippi Society.

Says Man is Sustained By Belief in the "Resurrection" Franklin, Va.—Taking his text from 1st Cor. 15:55, "Oh Death where is thy sting; Oh, Grave where is thy victory," the Rev. M. C. Allen, pastor of the First Baptist Church, in a special Easter sermon, declared: Those who believe in the resurrection are in the state of mind to receive the psychological benefits to be derived from the wonderful doctrine, itself. Since the resurrection is spiritual, the benefits are to be spiritual. "1st Cor. 15th chapter. Bu t some man will say how are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest, is not quickened except it die; so also is we resurrection of the dead. It is so sown that is raised in incursion; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. "The benefits of resurrection are spiritual. This makes the resurrection all the more significant. Take one man his spirit, what is he? He is an asset then if of utmost importance. Brace spirit with hope, courage, faith—and prevent the apparent crush of home, church, enterprise and nation. The mental energy necessary to destroy the hopelessness of death and measure it the strength of the grue, will react in sentiments of undoubted courage, enriched with such mental resurrectionless, which will assert itself in many noble achievements. "The reaction of high religious activities are always sources of good. Nothing feeds a mind with creative genius more than religion. To be truly religions, there is a constant stretching of capacity on the part of those who make efforts to approach its ideals, and to say the least this activity is unusual; and to be consistent, the mind that follows this religious thinking must be unusual. The so-called 'deems' of religious, impractical dreams and fair talmys, are so only to those who have not reached the mental stages of development which permits them to comprehend what is thoroughly understood by those experts and specialists in things spiritual. "Unto us a child is born—a son is given—the government upon his shoulders—wonderful counsel to—Prince of Peace, etc. is a clear description of the 20th century's conception of christian principles handed down nearly 800 years prior to the birth of the Messiah, by a spiritual specialist. "I will destroy this temple and reconstruct it in three days, is another statement from the lips of a spiritual specialist that lost the comprehension of His critics. "The doctrine of the resurrection has great value to those who believe in it. It affirms and confines in one's feelings, the significance of an Infinite Existence. "Every man in his thinking is visited with the terror of death and the gloom of the grue that will sooner or later separate him from opportunities and service to which he may be decretely wedded, and it is weedless to say that this NEWPORT NEWS ELKS PREPARE TO ENTERTAIN- HERD Newport News, Va.-Pandora Lodge No. 2, I.

C.—The Kittrell College Debating Team defeated unanimously her, opponents in the triangular debate held Friday, March 26th, on the repeal of the day law. In the triangle with Kittrell were the A. and T. College, of Greensboro, state champions of last year's contest; and the Berry O'Kelly Training School, of Method. The question for discussion was: "That the 18th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Should be Repealed." Kittrell defended the affirmative side of the question at home and the negative side on the same day at the Training School at Methuen. In defending the repeal of the law at home, Harry Denny, of Kittrell, opened the discussion with a fierce attack upon what is "said" to be prohibition in this country. His keynote was that prohibition has brought "no blessing to the youth of the land, but on the contrary, it has brought a curse." N. N. Galloway of A. and T. was good on the negative, the question fundamentally based their arguments largely upon the "legality" of the law, a question that has already been settled by t h u United States Supreme Court Denny's argument brought confusion to the negative; and R. O. Berry of Kittrell showed that prohibition was unforceable as everywhere evidenced by the presence of "mooshline" throughout the nation. He quoted at length statistics and opinions showing that public opinion in no way favored the present law; and that the alleged economic benefits of the myth. The A. and T. Team was good but they showed themselves to be no match for the crafty "Methodists." At the Berry O'Kelley Training School, Sidney Williams and Lee Ashe of Kittrell, defended the dry law. Sidney Williams showed that the 18th Amendment has brought to America better morals, homes and that personal liberty was not being outlawed by the 18th Amendment. Lee Ashe of Kittrell supported Williams by quoting financial reports, health statistics, and business reports proving that the 18th Amendment has brought to America better morals. In disposing of her two rivals, Kittrell is eligible to compete in the finals for the State Championship to be held in Greensboro April 16th. The judges at Kittrell were DeBerry, Professors William and Bindford of Raleigh. At Method林, were Professors MacDonald, Johnson and Thornton, of Raleigh. ELIZABETH CITY Elizabeth City, N.

HARVARD MUST HAVE PHOTOS OF ALL APPLICANTS Cambridge, Mass., March—In spite of the announcement that there is no desire on the part of Harvard College to bar any race or need from the institution many are viewing askance the recent ruling that all applicants to the freshman class this fall must send photographs along with their application, and there is a fear that very few Negroes will be numbered among the freshman who will sing with reverence and ferent spirit "Fair Harvard." This new action, which goes into effect in September, has recalled a series of incidents, that had the genesis with the infusal of admission of Rosecock, Jr., to freshman, some five years ago, that have tended to show that the suit of Harvard has undergone a radical change since the days of William H. Lewis, William Clarence Matthews, Rosecock Conklein Bruce, Sr. W. T. B. Williams and hosts of other members of the Negro race who are among the most ousted sons of Harvard. According to the announcement of the board of over-scars that the new ruling has been occasioned by the lack of facilities and that the freshman class will be limited to 1000 members. Each will be individually considered by the committee on admission and great emphasis will be laid on character and personality. WILLIAMSTON Williamston, N. C.-Mr. and Mrs. P. H.

Yet there is a simple method based on the famous Dr. King's New Discovery, which usually breaks the worst cough entirely in 24 hours. Here is the method: You take just one teaspoon and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. You then have a solution. It not only soothes and heals irritation, but also removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of the cough. So the most stubborn cough soon disappears completely. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmodic cough, etc. Fine for children, too-no harmful drugs. Very economical as the dose is only one teaspoonful.

Work will commence immediately. This dormitory will satisfy a need which has existed for a long time at Institute. During the past six years, the environment almost doubled. This fact has just about placed a premium on space for living quarters throughout the entire Institution. Three years ago the situation was somewhat relieved by the erection of a girls' dormitory, Dawson Hall, but the boys have been and are yet in a very cramped condition. Upon completion of the girls' dormitory, part of a building which the girls had been using was removed, however, makes it a necessity that the girls have their dormitory back again, so that news of the new boys' dormitory comes at a very opportune moment. The building will be a three story brick structure, containing 83 rooms, and comfortably accommodating about one hundred and sixty persons. The basement will contain a trunk room, barber shop, pressing rooms and auxiliary heating appliances. Besides the offices and rooms in the first floor, there is a reception room, the only place on the campus where they may receive and entertain their friends and relatives. The building will cost, when finished, approximately $125,000.00. John W.-Davis, President of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, seems elated over the fact that this much needed building is so near at hand. Says he, "This is just another indication of the thing which I have already repeated so often, that the State of West Virginia is interested in the progress of The West Virginia Collegiate Insti- NORTH CAROLINA MURFREESBORO Murfreesboro, N.C.—Easter was fully observed at Murfreesboro.

These speakers won the commendation and praised the large audience that witnessed the program. Mrs. Daniel Vick sang a solo, and Mrs. A. H. George played a mandolin solo. Other numbers were furnished by the Calvary Choir. EAST ORANGE East Orange, N. J.—One of the best concerts ever rendere Calvary Baptist Church, was held on last Thursday evening, when the Union Coral Club, of Elizabeth N. J., gave a splendid audience an evening of enjoyment. Many present realized the appreciation of good music and entertainment. On Easter Sunday, while the pulpit was covered with man flowers the pulpit was filled with the spirit of Easter. Rev. Long, delivered a sermon suited for the occasion, the text of which was "Mary's journey to the Tomb." While his sermon was filled to the brim with thoughts of the season, he branched off a little and expressly showed the Negroes' opportunity of the journey from his resting place. In the sermon many interesting thoughts of the realizations which Mary had were that of the knowing of the stone being rolled away, the talk that she had and the seeing of great darkness, relating to the spiritual darkness of man and the reward. A crowded congregation received the message with much enlightenment. With a good communion coming in season with the occasion, the Senior Choir rendered more evidence a concert entitled "From the congregation to Gethsemani." The feeling which the choir, sent over of much congregation to the Creator. Calvary is proud of such a choir to render such service which does much well as well the preaching she has been getting. "April 5-11 was Health Week in East Orange and on Monday, the 5th, the Mayors of East Orange and Orange with other professional men of the" white race as well as the colored gave Calvary many instructing lectures on Health. The community of East Orange is feeling the worth of such a man as Rev. Long in its environs-who can stimulate good and added life as he can since N. A. A. C. P. Reports On Bronx Assault Case New York, April 2.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today reported on the case of the fourteen-year-old colored girl assaulted in the Bronx, New York, in connection with which a number of white men were arrested and indicted. Owing to the death of the girl it was not possible to establish the guilt of any one of the men, all of them being therefore discharged. Alan L. Dingle, colored attorney retained by the N. A. A. C. P. to co-operate with the Bronx prosecuting attorney, reports that the authorities did everything in their power to bring the white men to justice but that the provisions of the New York law governing rape, are such that the death of the victim makes it virtually impossible to prove guilt. The N. A. A. C. p. spent $36.43 on the case of which $61.03 was advanced to the mother of the girl to enable her to come to New York to testify, the sum including her living expenses in New York as well as railroad fare back to Virginia.

The paper reads as follows: Members, and friends, it is a pleasure to have this opportunity to come before you this afternoon with a few words respecting our Pastor, Rev H. B. Moore, as a leader, builder, and organizer. Rev Moore came to us last March, 1925, and assumed the responsibility as pastor. He found plenty of room for organizing his auxiliary and faithful with the Sunday School, and B. Y. P. U, which are considered two of the oldest auxiliaries of the Church. He with a watchful eye, and the spirit of organizing, called together the Ladies of this Church and organized a Society known as the Ladies Aid Society. This Society has meant much to the progress of the Church. It has led all the other auxiliaries and has played a great part in the financial program of the Church, as ever since it was founded. Then came the organization of a Club for the young men, and women known as the Young People's Improvement Club which has and is now doing a great work. Then he organized a Young Men's Usher Board which has called young men from idleness to active religious service. Later he organized a Young Ladies' Usher Board, they are doing a splendid work for the success of this Chuch. In the meantime he also organized a strong Trustee Board each of them are active in all department offices, office, friends, Rev. Moole, as a builder is an excellent one. We, today, are worshipping in a new Church, one we admire, and appreciate. As a leader in general he is a safe and sound one. his leadership our membership has increased much, none has been excluded. As to the financial side the Lord has wonderfully blessed us, in the midst of the hard times last year, and this year down to this date, we have raised $3,357.57. So we understand now the need of a prepared leader. W. R. Bell, Church Clerk. After which, deacon A. J. Powell presented the pastor a suit of clothes, given by the Ladies' Aid Society. Reception was given on Monday night, after an enjoyable feast the Pastor was presented with a purse by the Clerk, Mt. W. R. Bell.

"My friends to have these baffling puzzles lost to the thinking of man is an accomplishment. What is our conceivable idea of the sting of death other than a permanent separation of an individual from his usefulness, and such thought is hazardous to the promotion of Christ. Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept. The Christian can say, I don't dread the grave. "To me, death is only a permit for a few days of vacation, and the graveyard is only a hotel in which I have a private room, in which is a cool couch of clay, covered with a blanket of beautiful green grass, woven by the nible fingers of nature, which will be removed one morning when Gabriel shall stand upon that unprecedented platform built by God out of land and water, with his face veiled with reverence for God, and the soft vibrations of sweet music, he shall wake me and then I shall know from experience what Paul meant when he said, "Oh, Death where is thy sity? Oh, Grave, where is thy victory?" BOYKINS Boykins, Va.—The Anniversary Sermon of the Knights of Pythians and Courts of Calantha was held at the Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday, March 28th. Rev. J. S.

Says Quartette Are Violating Union Agreement Newport News, Va.—Reports are going the rounds of the city to the effect that the Literary Musical Association of Newport News strongly resents the coming here of the Sons of Norfolk quartette to stage a contest with the Sunny South quartette in a concert to be charged to be charged, on the grounds that the quartette is affiliated with the musicians union the same as the Literary Musical Association and has not the right under union regulations to appear in concerts at an admission fee of less than 25 cents. According to Miss. Fanny Smart, representative of the Newport News quartette, the Norfolk quartette is committing a flagrant violation of union agreements to sing here at the 15 cents admission fee. Prof. Snead, leader of the Newport News quartette, is said to be endeavoring to settle the matter amicably. LETTER HEADS Easily Noticeable Take yourself, for instance.

Nowhere in the Bible is man authorized to eat the flesh of animals, and much of his misfortunes have come from doing it.

A convict ship has just left La Rochelle, France, for French Guinea, which has become infamous by the name of Devil's Island, from which Captain Dreyfus was rescued by the outraged clamor of the Christian nations, his case being one of persecution by the army clique because he was a Jew. There were 240 convicts on aboard the last convict ship afloat in the twentieth century, desperate characters for the most part, few of whom will survive to see their native land again. They are permanently separated from the brethren, which is always a tragical thing to happen to any person. What are you preeminent in?

Excelsior Band Campaign the campaign of the Excelsior B $5,000 within the next two we might become more in fact band should have a strong the generosity of the music loving public spirited citizens of Norfolk The campaign of the Excelsior Band to raise $5,000 within the next two weeks so that it might become more in fact a community band should have a strong appeal upon the generosity of the music loving and the public spirited citizens of Norfolk. Indeed, the Excelsior is a musical organization of such calibre that it merits municipal consideration—its service ought to be supported by the public and exploited for the public benefit. The Monarch Band, of New York, colored, is selected by the Park Commission of that city each year to give open-air concerts during the summer. It would certainly be a fine thing for this community if the people of Norfolk would make it possible for all the young folks of the city to hear good band music in the open air spaces during the hot months. And that is what the Excelsior Band is aiming at. It purposes to raise $5,000 from the public and then place its service at the disposal of the public under the direction of the municipal authorities. That is a splendid idea. The quality of the Excelsior Band's music is known throughout the city, and it has been heard and appreciated in various northern cities. It is remarkable that for 40 years the band has remained intact and has enjoyed no other support than that which the members themselves have given it, often at much sacrifice. It is true that the band makes a nominal charge for its service on private occasions, but there are numerous calls made upon it annually that are purely charitable and these men often endure a great deal of sacrifice in answering these calls. The Excelsior Band is wholly a home product. It has served this community faithfully and well for nearly a half century. It never has before conducted a public campaign for funds, but now the organization wishes to broaden its service by becoming a community enterprise, it asks the public to make this possible by building up a reserve of $5,000 for the band. That ought to be done. More than 300 cities have municipal music and pay, some of them, as high as $50,000 or $60,000 annually for it. Norfolk would stand in its own light if it should fail to avail itself of the opportunity offered it in the campaign of the Excelsior Band. Soap-Box Preachers For Chicago Chicago is a very wicked city. In the winter it is one of the coldest, and in the summer one of the hottest places on the American map. There are many good people and institutions in Chicago, but they are always in deadly conflict with the bad people and institutions. A civic uphill group recently asked that Congress interfere to save Chicago from its wickedness, and a big howl went up from the better sort, which are brave although nearly submerged, the burden of which was that Chicago was able to save itself. We think it is, but we are glad it and not we had the big, nasty job. Without its great mass of wickedness Chicago would not be Chicago at all, any more than Monte Carlo would be any such thing if its gambling tables were all smasher and fed to the flames. We have our doubts about soap-box orators. They always by their talk and antics make it appear to us as if they were utterly wrong in their think machines. They always have a grievance and use extreme and often vulgar language to blazon their disgust and contempt of things and men and institutions others hold in high regard is not reverence. The chief of police of Chicago has granted approval to plans of sixty Chicago pastors to preach on the streets. The chief said: "The more religion we have in Chicago our citizens will be." That is not only true of Chicago but of Norfolk as well. The pastor who started the soap-box preaching movement did so with the idea that the preachers should go out in the highways and by-ways and hunt out the sinners instead of waiting, "cooped up in the churches, for the people to come to them." The people of Chicago have plenty of religion, even as those of Norfolk have, but they do not practice the splendor and saving philosophy they have accepted, and every where there is a demand that the preachers go out and hunt up the lost members of society, rather than sit tight and expect the lost to find themselves and come in, hands down, and announce from the body of the congregation, "Here am I." Sinners, the wicked, are not built that way. Unless you go after them and coax them away from the error of their ways they go on to destruction dragging after them the social condition which nurtures them in its bosom. May the soap-box preaching of the Chicago preachers do much towards making that wicked city a better and safer place to live in. Chicago is a very wicked city.

Who Are To Blame For Bad Citizenship The unusual crime wave which has gripped the country since the end of the World War, and the beginning of the efforts to enforce the Volstead act, and which was never more widespread and demoralizing than at the present time, open and in solent lawlessness walking abroad in the land by day and by night, has been attributed to many causes, none of which ap The unusual crime wave which has gripped the country since the end of the World War, and the beginning of the efforts to enforce the Volstead act, and which was never more widespread and demoralizing than at the present time, open and insolent lawlessness walking abroad in the land by day and by night, has been attributed to many causses, none of which appear to satisfy the inquisitive. It is generally overlooked that at stated periods in the history of mankind there is a peculiar movement throughout the world which assails the old order, whether it be good or bad, and that it depends upon the teachings of the past generations as to which shall prevail, for better or for worse. The Napoleonic wars changed the map and the settled thought of the world and started it upon its democratic course which has well nigh destroyed kingercraft, nobility and priesthood, the American Republics being outgrowths of the upheaval and the heirs of European predominance in the rule, culture and wealth of mankind. A like revolution was worked in the forces that gathered through the years and exploded in the World War, the aftermath of which we are beginning to feel in loose morality and the consequent increase of crimes of all sorts, and what the end will be remains to be seen. Our Civil War was an event in our National life as pronounced as the outcome of the war of 1812, which definitely achieved the independence of the revolted colonies and prescribed the morality and statesmanship of the nation until the agitation of the question of human slavery arose and shook the pillars of the state. The Civil War freed the slaves and fixed the constitutional status of the freed people and saved the Union of the states, and it brought about a condition of national morals and statesmanship as unlike that that obtained when the slave power ruled at Washington as those which now follow in the wake of the World War. Whether the nation will come out the paroxysm better and stronger remains to be seen when the end of it is reached in another crisis, which may come in ten or may not come about in a hundred years. It is simply a spiritual trial of the nations in the conflict between good and bad, and it has always depended upon the human instruments through whom the trial is made as to whether the conditions shall emerge from the trial better or worse. The question of race, religion and birth, which is vexing so many small minds at this time, is one of the questions which will determine the character and purposes of the nation for better or for worse, before the next crisis arrives. A great many good people think with Dr. Amos Johnson who, speaking at the Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Philadelphia, declared that "It is the bad citizenship of the good citizen that causes the stress in local politics," because "all the sinners go out to vote and all the saints pass resolutions," and "it is high time to reverse the order." This is alright as far as it goes but it does not go far enough. The people can't know unless they have a teacher, and if the teacher is bad how can he make the people good by his doctrines? What do the readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE think makes for bad instead of good citizenship? THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H.

Spirit of The Press The Race Purity Law in Action From Opportunity Mr. John Powell, founder of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of Virginia, who with the Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics is ferreting out the dormant black drops in the aristocracy of Virginia, is moving in the direction of a most interesting situation. His procedure in establishing a "pure race" is astonishingly unique in that it could be employed contrarily with much greater effect to destroy the myths, fears taboos and traditions which have operated through the centuries to prevent race unions. The exciting revelations in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, though by no means intending to, deny by the most obvious implications that black blood has anything to do with success and prominence, Stoddard and Grant to the contrary notwithstanding; that the dines ex machina of a biological "throw-back" is anything worth worrying about; that there is any such thing, as the more sensitive ones assert, as an instinctive sense of race—of abhorrence in short they deny by implication every argument carefully erected to rationalize separation and difference in social and civic treatment. For Mr. Powell's new "Negroes" even if his vital records are truthful, have even less relation to the status and psychology of the Negro race than Alexander Hamilton. If the touch of the brush damages racial stock then his group of "infected" Virginians would scarcely merit attention. Time and the fierce logic of things in this age of supermen would settle with them. But if, as he is trying to show by cases, these quintroms are occupying the highest positions of the state Mr. John I Saxon Clubs origina Bureau out the dormancy of Virgin of a most infec ture in estab ishingly unique contrariety with stray the myth which have open prevent race r iptions in the Mr. John Powell, founder of the Anglo-Saxon Saxons of Virginia, who with the Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics is ferreting out the dormant dark drops in the aristocracy of Virginia, is moving in the direction of a most interesting situation.

Sacred cows are found in the Brahman temples and wandering unmolested about the streets. "Cow-protection," says Ghiandi, an intelligent Indian of today. "Cow-worship," say we of the West as we see this cult of nonviolence to animals beautifully symbolized by the reverence of the sacred cow. PRAYER and even the nation, his unconscious flattery of the potent drop leaves him without a cause. For what does anyone want to be "pure" for, unless it means for him some special advantage; unless thereby he may inherit the earth.

Dangerous Approval I am deeply impressed with the wonderful thoughts advanced by your editorials weekly. I have been a reader of your paper for ten years, and I know of its value for social uplift. At your earliest convenience kindly publish the following: Ever since man has attempted to act and perform for the entertainment or enlightenment of his fellow men, his auditors, when approving, have demonstrated it in various ways such as hand-clapping, feet-stamping, singing, yelling or handkerchief waving. The handkerchief waving is the dangerous approval. Many churches do not permit applauding with the hands because they consider it an act of irreverence, but will permit handkerchief waving by the congregation. This practice is unsanitary and dangerous. The handkerchief f is generally a depository for secretion from the nose and mouth, often a "hot bed" of germs, and should not be waved in a crowd so as to contaminate the air which must be breathed by those nearby. If applauding with the hands is irreverence, supply the church with small fans furnished by business enterprises—wave those fans, keep cool and do a way with the dangerous handkerchief waving. JAMES A. CLARK, Instructor Huntington High School, Newport News, Va. An Urgent Need in Norfolk Editor Journal and Guide: I was shocked with surprise when I read in these columns a few weeks ago a letter signed by one Mr. A. W. Johnson which stated that Norfolk is without a Y. M. C. A. Is it really true that the city of Norfolk has no "Y" facilities available to its young colored men and is making no effort to get them? Are the people of Norfolk indifferent to what habit forming influences with which their young men make contact? Are the people of Norfolk indifferent towards Christianity? I do not believe it. I am sure that with Norfolk, it is simply a case of pure carelessness. As an outsider, I urge the people of Norfolk to get busy and provide some sort of "Y" facilities for their young men. Do not stand by and see youth denied its chance to live a clean and wholesome life. Help them to form that Christian association which is so necessary in their young lives. I sincerely believe that what is good and needful for the young men of other cities is good and needful for the young men of Norfolk. The Lord helps those who help themselves and remember that where there is a will there is a way. J. H. BAYNES Norwalk, Conn. Disrespectful Publicity I hope that by what am about to say here you will not judge me to be an agitator, but if the facts I shall call attention here should brand me as agitating, then I shall agitate to the bitter end, even if it be one man's war. But I shall have the courage to believe that the prayer and the press will aid in this war. Sir, in the last six months we have lost by death quite a number of death citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkley, some of whom were people of the highest standing in their communities, and citizens duc more than a passing respect. But it pains me when I read just a mere mention of the passing of these prominent people in the white press, not one of whom, neither man or woman, is referred to as Mr., Mrs., or Miss. Now what I want to know does the white press solicit this news from the colored people, or are the Negroes voluntarily carrying it to these newspapers which they know will not call the best known and most respected of their people Mr. or Mrs? Do the Negroes really invite this afront and then gloat over having it thrown at them in the form of a little publicity squeezed thru the white press? However, Mr. Editor, I am sure that I am not the only Negro disgusted with this sort of thing, and there are others who are eager to know how long will Saturday, April 10, 1926. ART MUST BE ESSENTIALLY TRUE The Des Moines Tribune of March 18, carries the following significant editorial invitation: "Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is probably the outstanding colored woman in the United States. She was the first colored woman to serve on a board of education in this country. She torial invitation: "Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is probably the outstanding colored woman in the United States. She was the first colored woman to serve on a board of education in this country. She was the only one of the American delegates to the international congress of women in Berlin some years ago who addressed the convention in German. Nothing could happen better for Des Moines than for a thousand and intelligent white people to go to the church tonight and listen to a colored woman, with some thought for the race's future of this great conglomerate United States of ours." My advices are that Mrs. Torrell received a royal reception from both races in comparable numbers during her visit to this great Western center of influence and power. I regard this incident as significant mainly because it brings to attention the growing lack of relationship between the two races, especially in the eastern section of the country. At one time in the half forgotten past, the races gained close up acquaintance with each other by frequent attendance upon each others doings. Now all of this is changed. In their regular, normal procedure, the races conduct their affairs separate and apart. There is no intermingling. In their churches, and other stated or special gatherers, the black hand does not know what the white hand doeth; nor does the white hand itself about the doings of the black. I doubt whether a dozen Negroes will attend white churches in Washington next Sunday, nor will half a dozen whites attend Negro services. It was not ever thus. At one time white people attended Negro gatherings, and Negroes white gatherings, as a part of the regular order of things. It is now practically impossible to promote a common meeting of races on any question of public concern, however, vital. In the good old days of political prosperity, all public meetings were arranged for all good Republicans. But of late years, I am told, that headquarters sends down the word that under no circumstances are Negro speakers to address white audiences. People become acquainted in the ordinary, every day, normal relationships. Where such intermingling is wanting, genuine understanding is hardly possible. When a single, selected Negro addresses a white audience, the stage is set, the mind is attuned to a certain sort of receptivity. The speaker, on the other hand is always on his good behavior. He is more concerned with the impression which his utterances will make upon the hard hearted white than with the genuineness of his own thoughts and feelings. The white world will never get the intimate point of view of the Negro by such representation. When the two races come to Negroes pander to this sort of disrespectful public. THOMAS J. MOORE Berkley-Norfolk. "A Dud of a Boost" Editor Journal and Guide: A copy of "The Norcom Booster" came to my hands from my little daughter recently, and after a casual inspection, I discovered that it was printed in a white shop in Portsmouth, which of course was legitimate and a matter of one's election. The one phase of publication as I see it, such gross inconsistency on the part of those in charge of the journal—having the organ sent forth from a union printing office which will not employ as tradesmen or office help colored boys and girls. It could not have been a matter of price, for union wages are always higher, and neither a question of quality of workmanship, for there are at least four colored print shops in Norfolk, and certainly one that could execute the work with credit. The truth may hurt at times, but I am telling the unsympathetic world that when the teachers and student body of any institution of learning have their monthly organ published in a shop that debars that institution's graduates, except as an emergency, we are forced to admit a beautiful progress backward and that the hat-in-hand group is very much alive. I thank you. G. L. SOMERVILLE Portsmouth, Va. Cautioning the new school of Negro writers, Dr. Kelly Miller says: "There must be caution, not to aim to depict the Negro as the white public wants to see him. But print him as he is. All genuine art must be essentially true. It is as fatuous from an artistic point of view, to cater to the black man's vanity as it is to fawn to the white man's conceit." The best medium through which the white man can get a true appraisal of the Negro is by means of the colored newspaper, Dr. Miller asserts, for in the Negro newspaper the Negro is talking to and for the Negro and is not possessed of the awareness which inevitably follows when the colored man is speaking to a white audience. gather in a negotiatory capacity, through selected representatives of the two groups, the procedure is apt to be artificial rather than genuine. On the other hand when the white man comes by himself to a Negro group his utterances must be greatly discounted. He feels bound to flatter his colored hearers by some unearned compliment to the race, and by indulgence in flamboyant utterances of questionable genuineness and sincerity. The late George W. Lee of Washington was one of the greatest original humorists of modern times. With him humor was natural and spontaneous. On one occasion he was chosen presiding officer of the Baptist convention in one of the Southern States. The address of welcome was delivered by no less a distinguished personage than the governor himself. His excellency outid him on this occasion. He declared that in his capacity as governor of the commonwealth he knew no citizen by his color Health Talks The heart has always been an enigma to medical men and an organ of romance to the laity,—weighing about three-fourths of a pound, and having the size of a clinched fist. The heart is the central pump of the body, controlling the flow of the blood. Beating at the rate of seventy times a minute, the heart will pump five quarts of blood. Often it is beating faster and pumping twice as much blood. Is it not worth a little thought and care to see that such a hard working engine is properly treated? Heart trouble, or distress of the heart, may be due either to one or two causes—disturbances of the nervous control or distraction of some of the structural elements of the heart. The former, in most cases, is of a psychical origin and due to emotional disorders. This group constitutes by far the larger number of cardiac conditions and when recognized early and treated properly the heart usually returns to normalcy. When neglected, however, very unfavorable results are produced. The latter group, in which there is a destruction of the structural elements of the heart, is a matter of grave importance. There are a large number of cases in this group which respond very favorably to treatment. Quite a few of these cases, however, in spite of treatment, become progressively worse and terminate fatally. It is estimated that one-third of all the heart disturbances are avoidable. One-third is curabie if detected early and treated There are quite a few conditions which are responsible for heart diseases. Improper habits of living leave their mark on the heart. Many people owe their ill health to their own ignorance or indifference. Eating too much, exercising too little, leading an indoor life, sleeping irregularly, the over use of alcohol, tea and coffee, all are common faults which may injure the heart. Among the contagious diseases which not infrequently leave their mark upon the heart are Rheumatic fever, Scarlet fever, Diptheria, Pneumonia, Syphilis and Gonorrhea. With the proper medical attention of those diseases the unfortunate heart disturbances which frequently follow in most cases can be avoided. Heart disease in the past two years has caused more people to die than Cancer or Tuberculosis. Over two million people in this country today have serious heart trouble. One out of every fifty of those who apply for life insurance is refused because of serious heart defects. How is Your Heart? but that all received equal treatment at his hands. At the conclusion of the address the convention went wild with thunderous applause. Although every man knew that the governor was indulging in more rhetorical extravaganza, yet their enthusiasm knew no bounds at the eloquence of his words. The Negro is generally gullible under the spell of the white man's eloquence. But when the time came for Dr. Lee to make reply, he began by saying that he himself was a minister of the gospel, and he often entered his pulpit dependent upon the Holy Ghost to direct him what to say. He frequently found that when the Holy Ghost was upon him he was led to say a great many things which he could not live up to when the Holy Ghost left him. He felt he declared that the good governor was swopt beyond his own power of control by the inspiration of the occasion, and very much feared that his excellency would not be able to carry his assertions when the spirit of the moment had departed from him. Again the convention is in an uproar, but this time, they caught the point of the swift witted Lee, whom even the governor was forced to congratulate upon his quick, keen-pointed and apposite repartee. A Negro writing for white publications or speaking before white audiences is prone to say the things which his listeners on readers want to hear rather than present the normal workings of his mind. Often he may go to the opposite extreme and aim to be caustic and exasperating to the feelings as he put over what he deems to be unpleasant and unpalatable truth. Such presentation will always fail of effectiveness. If you force a man to hear what he is not disposed to listen to, you are merely planting seed in stoney ground. I might as well stop here and utter a word of caution to the new school of Negro writers who are setting forth the soul of the new Negro. There must ever be caution, not to aim to depict the Negro as the white public wants to see him. But paint him as he is. All genuine art must be essentially true. It is as fatuous, from an artistic point of view, to cater to the black man's vanity as it is to fawn to the white man's conceit. The Negro newspaper is the best medium through which the white man can get the low down on the Negro soul. Here the Negro is speaking to the Negro It is not intended especially for the white reader. What the writer has to say expresses his real feeling, however wise or foolish that may be. During my literary experience, I have written for practically every form of publication prescribed by white publishers opinion. In dealing with the less problem, there are more or less fixed canons and determined attitudes. The Negro writer must conform to these standards or have his manuscript returned with a palite missile of regrets. I recall sending an article to one of our leading American Magazines. The editor was good enough to commend the treatment in highest terms for both form and substance, but advised me that it did not quite conform to the attitude of his readers. I forthwith sent the same document to an English magazine which accented it with acidity. The Negro has the white man at a disadvantage, when it comes to the interpretation of racial soul. The great body of the white man's out put in thought and polity has absolutely no reference to the Negro. When we study the main body of literature and other forms of expression we have the white man's soul just as it is. There is nothing hidden that cannot be revealed. It is only when it comes to the race question that the white man is furtive, timid and disingenuous. The interchurch movement during interracial week instituted the idea of having the white and Negro preachers interchange pulpits. This would be only a matter of interracial courtesy with very little bearing upon interracial acquaintance. Both the Negro and the white preacher under these circumstances, would labor under such heavy restraint of caution and courtesy that his utterances would carry little genuine conviction. Like Dr. Lee's description of the flamboyant governor, they would be so far swept from their normal mood by the impulse of the occasion that they could not live up to it after the imparted impulse had departed. It would be infinitely better if there could be an interchange of auditors in large numbers with a total lack of awareness on part of the preacher.
