HINES DENIES ANY SHAKE-UP AT VETS HOSPITAL Twenty-two-Year-Old Husband Facing Bigamy Follow The Guide It Leads to Progress VOL. XXVI No. 16 HINES Twenty NO CHANGE IN HOSPITAL AT TUSKEGEE Director General Declares Conspiracy Charge Is Not Substantiated And Present Administration Continues. NO DECISION IN CASE OF JONES Washington, D. C., April 14 General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans Bureau, in a state- ment Monday, denied that there could be any change in the policy of operating the United States hospital for disabled Negro vet- tals at Tuskegee, Ala. He had been charged that certain officials in the Veterans Bureau were in a conspiracy to discredit the administration of this hospital in an all-colored personnel. Charges Not Substantiated General Hines declared that such charge "is not substantiated as the Bureau fully intends to constitute its present policy with regard to the administration of that hospital for and by those of the allowed race. A decision in the case of W. L. Jones, chief engineer, who was appointed October 12, 1925, is expected this week. Mr. Jones was asked to tender his resignation in January, but declined to do so, the ground that it would be an admission on his part that he had accepted to bring about the removal of Major J. H. Ward, the commanding officer, against whom he had previously made charges. The case was later reopened and Mr. Jones restored to duty to January 1, last. A decision is also in the case of Dr. J. D. Robinson against whom Dr. Ward preferred charges of insubordination. STODDARD SEES MENACE INENTRY OF ORIENT ALS Delares Race Relations Is A World-Wide Problem, And Believes White Control Of Earth Best For All. Tuskegee, Ala., April 14—Lotop Stoddard, the champion of匪寔 supremacy," and who is strongly characterized as the man who forget to remember" the program. Negroes have made in America the early civilization established by Erikspier, spoke to the students and faculty of Tuskegee Institute recently. Mr. Stoddard disregarded the philosophy of the leading anthropologists and sociologists, that no race is inherently superior and championed the supremacy of the Nordic branch of the human family as expounded in his book, "The Ting Tide of Color." "Describing race relations as a world-wide problem, Mr. Stoddard has assumed three major aspects: the question of white control of territory, that white people; the white-immigration to lands inhabited by whites; and the preservation of racial purity. Declare For Control The speaker declared that "white control" of Asia and Africa is for the best interest of whites and non-whites, and while these subject people might be "given" some voice in the control of their government, directing force must remain in the hands of the Nordics. "In this way, he said, the increasing demands of these peoples for autonomy may be in a measure met while supremacy at the same maintained." Bringing the problem "cIoser home" Mr. Stoddard endowed over to show his hearers that the economic interests of the whites and Negroes in America are the identical in that both should look upon the assurance of Oriental into America as a grave economic menace to White and Negroes alike. This theory was entirely new to our students of Tuskegee Institute, the doctrine of "Good Will" constantly maintained and they sat in protesten during the said terminated without any applause.

SENATORS SPONSOR RACE CONSTITUENTS Washington, D. C., April 14.—The question of continuing Arthur G. Free, of Welch, W. V., as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia or appointing a successor to him is still open. The President has not yet reached a decision. Representative John Phillip Hill of Maryland, again took up the matter of the appointment of Warner T. McGuinn, of Baltimore, Md., as recorder of deeds, last Monday, with the White House. He was advised that no action has been taken with reference to this position, but he is continuing his efforts. In urging the appointment of Mr. McGuinn, Representative Hill called attention to his unusual qualifications and the desirability of recognizing the civic functions of the colored citizens of Maryland.

YOUNG In a recital in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, Tuesday evening, Thomas Wilfred, inventor and player of the Claviuvi, clearly demonstrated that light now takes its place in the artistic kingdom along with sound, pigment a n d form, and won for himself a Bach, Beach, Dovarik, Michael Angelo, Dumas, Shakespeare and other pioneers, who blazed the trail to artistic perfection. Marvelous Instrument Mr. Wilfred's performance demonstrated that as the world gradually opened its finer senses to his processors, so it must meet the particularity of his marvelous instrument, the Clavium, which at his command of a keyboard of sliding keys, throws upon a screen colors of marvelous brilliancy and figures of shapely as well as shapeless magnificence. All the child-like dreams of Oriental elegance come to life as Mr. Wilfred plays on this wonder instrument to the merriment of and amazement of his audience. The gorgeous visions of Arabic setting, the wonderful Aurora Borealis, the suggestive evening western skies cease to hold the wonder stage when the Clavium flashes upon the screen its becoming, illusionary pictures. Even the mystic fourth dimension comes into reality as Mr. Wilfred raises projects, lowerers and jiggs of idols of the screen upon the screen. From sulen to gay, and from sublime to positive humor, t h e inventor-artist leads the audience a program of unique contiment until they retire at the end fully assured that Clavium must some not-fun-off day become the center of entertainment in concert halls, theatres and homes. Before commencing his program, Mr. Wilfred informed his auditors of the history of light in its journey to artistic prominence. He told of how pioneers in all arts sometimes faced insurmountable obstacles in educating the public to a degree of appreciation. H i s course, he expected, would not be unlike those who came before him.

New York, April 15—Before his departure for Haiti, Pergeval Thoby, former charge d' affairs of the Haitian Legation in Washington, and now representative of the Patriotic Union of Haiti; requested that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issue for him a public denial of the report that Haitian citizens would oppose the appointment of a colored man as U. S. Minister to Haiti. "The statement has been made and spread that Haitians would not welcome a colored man as the representative of the United States in Haiti," said Mr. Thobey. "This is of course absurd. There have been several colored ministers from the United States to Haiti and they have been received with utmost concern. The colored people have emigrated to Haiti, they have found the consideration and the courtesy which was their due, and they and their descendants are among the most respected citizens of the country. Haiti would be glad to welcome, as she has done in the past, a colored U. S. Minister."

JOURNAL AND GUIDE IS BEST NEWSPAPER Howard University Students So Decide In Stirring Debate. Washington, D. C.—During the past four weeks there has been much comparing of the relative merits of the Baltimore Afro-American and the Norfolk Journal and Guide among the student body of Howard University, so to set the argument a club composed of young people from practically every state in the union decided to stage a debate. The question was: Resolved: That the Afro-American is a Greater Weekly than the Journal and Guide." The affirmative was represented by two young men from Baltimore and the negative by George (Bull Dog) Williams and W. Francis Taylor, Jr. of Norfolk, negative won, scoring eight points to two by the affirmative, in the opinion of the judges. The Baltimore are not satisfied and have asked for a return engagement, which the Norfolkians granted, and this will take place on the 23rd inst. Comes Home After 30 Years In U.S. Army George W. Tayler, a native of this city, returned to his home town recently after 30 years with the 10th Calvary in the United States Army. Taylor brought back to civilian life with him an array of decorations and medals sufficient to cover his entire breast, besides a volume of recommendations and citations from various army officers. He was honorably discharged on November 18, from Troop E, 10th Calvary, Huachuca, Arizona. Taylor has encountered wonderful experiences during his 30 years in army uniform, from training in the Spanish-American War, in the Philippine Insurrection; on the frontier in Indian warfare and with General Pershing's expeditionary force in Mexico. Taylor was a member of Company E, 10th Calvary with General Pershing and virtually his whole company with Company C, was massacred. Praises The Army Mr. Taylor has nothing but praise for the Army. He found no fault with it. He advises young colored men seeking adventure, excitement, and education to enlist in the 9th and 10th Calvary or the 24th and 25th Infantry. He says there are other billets in which a colored man may find a berth in the Army, but says in other than those mentioned the opportunity for promotion does not exist for Negroes. There are various trades that a soldier for Uncle Sam can learn while in the service, says Mr. Taylor, which will serve him in good stead should he be for William. He worked his way from a buck private to 1st Sergeant, the highest non-commissioned officers in the Army. Mr. Taylor is looking around for something in civilian life to which he might anchor in the way of employment. He is sort of scouting around, for a Government job, but will accept anything worth while. First Lieutenant Kirk (Continued on Page Eight) DOES DEFEAT OF McKINLEY AFFECT RACE? Question Now Is Does Colored America Gain Or Lose Through Winning Of Senatorial Primaries By Smith. Politically and civically, did Colored American gain or lose in the defeat of United State Senator William B. McKinley, for the Republican Senatorial nomination by his opponent, Frank L. Smith, in the Illinois primaries Tuesday, in question. What is the mind of the section of Negroes, North and South, who are quite well posted on the records of the present Congressman as to matters of special interest to the race. Impressive Record Although Senator McKinley basa an impressive record on behalf of his Negro constituency, it has nevertheless predicted that he would be assailed by the colored electorate of Illinois, on account of the failure of Congress to enact the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill when that measure was killed in the Senate by a Democratic fillbuster. The responsibility for the failure of that bill is charged to Sonator McKinley and other administration leaders by colored voters, who believe that had the administration exerted the decisive influence the measure could have been brought to vote. Numerous other senators and representatives have suffered on this score, particularly was this fact evidenced in the elections immediately following the close of the last Congress. Contrary Opinion But there is another school of colored people who feel that the record of the Illinois Senator certainly weighs heavily on the side of the race. It is known that since he has been in the Senate he has voted favorably on every measure of special interest to the Negro. He introduced in the Senate the anti-lynchning bill now on the calendar of that body, and appeared before the Senate to presentible consideration and power. He introduced in the Senate the resolution providing for the erection of a National Memorial in the Capital in honor of the colored soldiers and sailors who have fought in the nation's wars; voted for the confirmation of Walter Cohen for the position of comptroller of customs for the Port of New Orleans and for James A. Cobb for judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, and is just now sponsoring a colored man to succeed Arthur C. Proe as recorder of the death of the former member.

The appropriation was recommended by the City Manager Treuxun, who said that although the city had made provisions for hospital facilities for white patients suffering from contagious diseases, no such provision had been made for like colored patients. This fact, he said had brought some criticism upon the city. A new heating plant is estimated to cost $608, while $1,800 will be required to make repairs to the building.

EXHIBIT RACE NEWSPAPERS AT UNIVERSITY "Negro Literature Week" Observed At University of Nebraska When Negro Writers Are Made Known. "Negro Literature Week" sponsored by Semper Fidellis, a literary organization at the University of Nebraska was observed March 15-21, the express purpose being to acquaint the general public with Negro writers and their works. The week was ushered in by a program on "Negro Literature rendered Sunday evening, March 4, at Quinn Chapel A, M E. Church. All the musical numbers were by Negro composers. The literary field included in topical addresses on the Negro in Poetry, the Novel, the Short Story, in Music and in General Literature being given. The program was prefaced by a discourse on "The New Negro and Literature." The University and the Lincoln City libraries cooperated with the organization in putting the "Week" affair over—books by Negro authors were displayed in a conspicuous manner by both libraries. The librarians reported that the white patrons were much interested in the works. At the University library all the latest books were taken out the first day of the display. The city librarian said that the collection could hardly be called a display because the books were circulated as soon as they were put on the display shelf. Journalism Day "Negro Journalism Day" was observed March 17, as a feature of the week. Ten prominent Negro newspapers arranged in a display fashion were displayed at the college bookstore facing the campus. The papers were viewed by hundreds at the first day. The papers exhibited were "The Chicago Defender, the Baltimore Afro-American, the Pittsburgh Courier, the Norfolk Journal and Guide, the New York Age, the Kansas City Call, the Amsterdam News, the Chicago Whip, the Philadelphia Tribune and the Washington Tribune. The Daily Nobraskan, official publication of Nebraska University carried a story of the exhibit on the front page aside from an editorial on "Negro Literature Week." The organization believes tha t much information concerning Negro Literature was disseminated during the week and plans another observance much more complete for next year. The officers of the Semper Fidels are, Million Bledsoe, Journals '27, press id ent; Law School '28, law School '28, vice president; Harold A dams, Law School '28, secretary; and Lloyd H.

Libraries Cooperate Journalism Day "Cum" Posey Visits City SAYS HE CAN'T RAISE $600.00; GOES TO JAIL Israel Banks Tells Court He Is 'Broke' And Is Willing To Serve Sentence Imposed In Strother Case. Israel Banks, former Chapel street grocer, who recently was convicted of a charge of involuntary manslaughter and fined $600 in connection with the death of Leroy Strother, appeared before Judge Sargent in Corporation Court No. 1, Wednesday and informed the court that he had been unable to raise the amount of the fine and asked to be committed to jail to serve his sentence. Following his conviction on March 24, his attorney, J. Louis Broudy entered a motion for a new trial, argument on which was pending when Banks appeared in court this week. "Do I understand that you want me to overrule the motion for a new trial and let you go to jail at once, as you are unable to raise the $600 to pay your fine?", the court asked. "Yes, your honor," Banks replied. "Mr Broudy advised me not to go to jail but to ask a new trial, but I haven't got anything to pay a fine with and what little I did have has gone in fighting this case." "I want you to distinctly understand, however," said Judge Sargent, "that I am not sentencing you to jail with any understanding that you will be released after serving a short time. The maximum is three months, and as far as I can see that will be the length of your sentence." Banks was informed by Assistant Commonwealth's, Attorney John M. Arnold that any attempt by him to be released from jail after serving a few weeks would meet with strenuous opposition of the Commonwealth. Lillie Strother, administratrix of the estate of Leroy Strother, he 11-year old son, who was shot and killed by Israel Banks in the latter's grocery store on the corner of Chapel and Golf streets on January 11, he has filed suit in the court's Court against Banks for $10,000 damages. The suit was docked on Monday, April 12, and set for trial on May 10, next. Unlawfully and with gross negligence, causing the death of her son is alleged in the complaint against Banks. T he plaintiff is represented by Attorney J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, Walter L. Davis and David H. Edwards, of this city. On Wednesday, March 24, Israel Banks was tried and convicted in Corporation Court No. 1, on a charge of involuntary manslaughter for killing the Strother child. He was fined $600, from which he noted an appeal, on which argument is still pending. Bites Off Pastor's Ear In Fight (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., April 13^th When the Rev. Joseph J. Bailey, itinerant minister, entered his home and found, in company with his wife, one Walter Robinson, his wife claims the gentle parson placed his Bible on a table, removed his coat, and started an attack on Robinson.

SAYS TOO MUCH SPENT ON RACE SCHOOLS IN ALA. Aspirant For Governor Of State Running On A Platform For Reducing Educational Moneys For Colored (By Associated Negro Press) Montgomery, Ala., April 15—Wailing that for years and years the white school children of the sovereign state of Alabama have been so fearful that that is unstylish, so far as school funds go, is diverted to provide superior and harmful education for Negro children, Col. Bib Graves, candidate for governor of the state, in an article published by a newspaper syndicate, outlining his views, makes the equalization of educational opportunities for whites, the chief plank in his platform. He explains: Crying Need "Another crying need for equality is in educational opportunities for every white child in the state. We are counting Negro children against our white children dividing the school money. This must stop. The educational survey, made in the Kilby administration shows that in five typical white counties the amount expended for teachers' salaries for each white child enrolled is an average of $4.61 per year, while in five typical black counties the amount expended for teachers' salaries for each colored child enrolled is an average of $2.53 per year. About one-fifth of our rural white schools run less than five months a year, all of them average just 128 days a year. The Negro public schools in our black belt cities and in some of our industrial cities run nine months a year. This taking of white tax money so needed for educating these white children to give superior educational advantages to these Negroes, the whites, them and hastening them North must stop. When I am governor this will stop. For years I have fought hard to stop it. The fiery candidate goes on to tell how he has fought against appropriations for Negro education in past years and explains the causes for his defeat. But, he admits, "Elect me governor and I have a way all figured out to stop this evil." tal, Brooklyn, when Harry Hughe- a a white ambulance driver, volun- teered for a blood transfusion.

Journal and guide, 711 E. Olney Road. Dear Naomi: I am a poor girl. I have accumulated $400.00 and would very much like to better my education and position. Do you think I should spend that money by going to school or should I keep on working and try to accumulate more as a means of bettering my position. I am 28 years old. I am also very forgetful. What can I do to retain anything. J. P. Dear J. P: You have been smart indeed to have worked, lived and saved $400. The question is how badly do you want this education, and are you earnest? If so go to school and work your way and keep your money for a reserve fund. Yet if you are not in earnest, you would do well, to work and continue to save. It will grow.

Give him credit for the courage to say so and the desire to improve. Dear Naomi: I am a young girl sixteen years of age and I receive young gentlemen company; but only certain ones are allowed to call and they cannot take me out any place, unless mother, brother or sister goes. I have been in love, with a young boy as I have thought for about two years. He has gone away now and he continues our friendship by writing real often. I am, and I am still about swearing as I fear I am loving another very near me. The young men who I am loving now is much older than I am; but I think that I really love him. He always has a pleasant and charming and smiling face when we meet and he appears as if he loves me. In fact he told me that he loved me and he has tried to show me, but I fear, he doesn't mean any good, just trying to jest me. I know he has other girl friends, and all of them are older than I am. The are nearer his equal. I even know two of his friends personally. But neither one knows that I am in love with him. Both girls are my very dearest friends. Do you believe that he' loves me or is just trying to fool one? Please give me general information upon answering. Lovingly, a true friend J.W.C. Dear J. W. C.; It is very nice to know you are choice about the fellows you allow to come and see you. I am also glad to know your mother or sister accompanies you when you are out with a boy as you are yet very young. Well dearie, I would suggest you continue to write the other boy and not take anything serious that No. 2 is saying, especially if you are going with other friends, or that the don't know that you know, you see you know. You are too young to give all your time to one boy anyway. You have a long time yet before thinking of marrying so why give all your time to one boy? TO FLAVOR SOUP Vegetables that would otherwise be thrown away may be used in making soup. The outer leaves of lettuce, the tough ends of asparagus, and the outer leaves of celery if covered with water and boiled will give a flavor to soups.

CREDITT-OLE There is probably no one thing that so influences and determines the destiny of woman as personal charm and beauty. We too well know that character, education, and refinement are all important, and are necessary to the popular and successful woman, yet the first thing that attracts the attention of every one is, the magic charm of a beautiful face, "school girl", complexion, lustrous h a i r, and soft shapely hands that are wel groomed. This couple w i t h refinement and modesty make a woman irresistible. It is impossible for men to love an unkempt woman; other women shun her, because she has failed in one of the most womanly traits,—being clean, sweet, attractive, and adorable. Proper care will keep woman always beautiful; neither does this only apply to the early years of youth, but may be retained through all the stages and ages of woman's existence. Beauty is a relative term. What is beauty in a child, is not beauty in a young woman or a matron. To be beautiful at any age, a woman must not appear older than she is. Very few women are perfect physically; something can be pointed out that is unnatural, some defect that she is constantly thinking about, that makes her uncomfortable or unhappy. Nature has given few women perfect regularity of features, but after all this regularity and symmetry of feature are not necessary factors in making a beautiful face. A smooth, soft unblemished face, with undesirable, unsightly lines removed, a lustrous head of hair, becoming arranged, clean shapely soft hands, clear, bright eyes, eyebrows that are well shaped, together with a body that is particularly handsome and exercised rounded to conceal its poor angles, and emphasize its fine lines, these will make a woman beautiful. Many people will mistake a make up of powder, creams, rouges, and raiment, for true beauty. It is not and must only be considered in the nature of an aid, though they are frequently a hindrance, particularly when they contribute to make a, grotesque. The first essential to be considered to bring about an improvement in one's appearance, is cleansing the body regularly and thoroughly. There is no eliminator equal to the warm bath, taken daily. The function of the bath is to open the pores because the rubbing of the body with the wash cloth not only opens the pores, but City Parlor Ladies in charge of a competent Johnson.

HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER, Home Economics Dept., Calumet Lake; Powder Co. Spring Cleaning The old-time method of housecleaning had one thing to recommend it, at least. It was thorough. Everything was torn up by the roots, and the place literally dug up and the under side polished. But, alas. During the process, the family felt as though it had been cast on a desert island. Meals were scrapy, and one's measured possessions were missing for days. Even the sympathetic and charming head of the home was likely to be a hit irritable and to resent any criticism on the method used. The substance of the reply to such remarks was something like this "Well, I guess you can stand it, if I can." Nowadays, the efficient house wife goes at the task with positive pleasurable anticipation. The family scarcely knows what is going on, and when everything is shining, and spick from stem to stern, the mistress of the home is ready for the next thing, and not for a sanitarium as in the old days. NEW METHODS There is all the difference in the world in, the way necessary work of this kind is approached and executed, and the right way is by far the casier way. The three watchwords of successful housecleaning are: Preparation, System and Thoroughness. The weekly cleaning may be thorough, but there should be at least one annual renovating, sorting and arranging which puts everything where it belongs and leaves house in perfect condition. The woman who pities herself, because she has a home to keep, is a subject for pity herself. She does not know how much she has to be thankful for and what a poor sport she is not to be cheerful, and even jolly, when housecleaning time comes. The housewife, who can go into every closet, and every room, and every pantry and cupboard, and who can open bureau drawers and sheats and find them all in apple pie order, feels a satisfaction which more than appeases work it has cost. The ideal to aim at, in housecleaning, is to do the work in a thoroughly approved manner, not to upset the house or discombine the family in doing it; and to finish the task without being unduly fatigued. In order to accomplish this, the first step in preparation is to take closets, cupboards and bureau one by one, and to empty them out, clean and disinfect them thoroughly, brush, clean, and sort the contents and rearrange. Discard Things of No Value. In commencing housecleaning, the average housewife has to steel her heart against the inclination to leach things much as they are. This does no mean that she must throw things away easily, but no good purpose is served which will not be worn again, and that are likely to become a prey to moth over, these should all be cleaned and put in a covered box by themselves, where they can receive attention in due time. Housecleaning time gives an opportunity to weed out the undesirables and to make more room for what one wishes to keep. It prevents a checking accumulated dust and often imagines a little sentiment is attached, when, upon analysis, there is nothing of this kind at all. It is an excellent time to retire pictures which were never interesting or beautiful, and to put away bric-a-brac which makes overmuch work during the summertime. Guests may come unannounced and be welcome, and getting ready for a vacation or a trip isn't nearly as trying when everything is right where its owner can put her hand on it, in the dark, if necessary. FILLERS FOR WOMEN PAGE—HINT ABOUT DYEING It is customary to rip garments all apart before dyeing them as otherwise the dye does not get into the seams sufficiently, but leaves a thin line of the original color. All this labor is unnecessary, however, if the garment is only faded and the original color was satisfactory. In such case re-dye it the original color, or if in doubt, make it just a shade darker, and the faded places will vanish and the whole garment look like new again. The practice of raising grapes on the south coast of England and shipping them to France to be sold as "French" grapes has been discontinued.

THE PENNSYLVANIA BOXING COMMISSION FIGHT WAXES FRED WHITE RENEWS ATTACK, DENOUNCES HARRY McGRATH Philadelphia, Pa., April 15—Charles Fred White, the colored member of the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission, has renewed his bitter denouncement against William H. Rocap, chairman of the commission, whose actions have aroused the fair-minded people of this city. Race hatred, being the foundation of Rocap's actions, White has made plain what he thinks of his fellow member. It was reported sometime ago that Commissioner White had filled formal charges with Governor Pinchot against Commissioner Rocap, and when the latter was called to Harrisburg last week rumors were current that there was a change impending in the personnel of the commission. These rumors were not officially confirmed, however, Governor Pinchot announcing after the conference that Commissioner Rocap had not resigned and that he did not know whether or not he intended to leave the commission. Rumors of the impending change in the commission, however, have persisted, and were supported by the recent announcement that Commissioner Rocap had accepted the sports editorship of a new afternoon paper to be started next week in Atlantic City. White's Latest Attack Commissioner White's latest attack on Commissioner Rocap grew out of a statement sent to the newspaper Wednesday over the signature of Secretary Robert A. Young, of the commission, to the effect that the commission had dropped the charges against Harry McGrath, a promoter of amateur boxing. Dedulating that the reported exoneration of McGrath was "Rocap's parting shot," Commissioner White continued; "He has persistently refused to concur with me in the enforcement of our laws and rules. He knows that Harry McGrath and certain others pocketed the profits of the amateur boxing shows held in this city for the past two years. He knows that they are, therefore, robbing the state soldier monument, fund of its five per cent tax. He knows that we are operating about license' and contrary to the state law. We have plenty of opinion from the Attorney General in our office on the subject. Boxing Under Control "We collected a tax from the Milk Fund Show in Pittsburgh last summer and the Italian Hospital Fund show here in the autumn. All of the profits, or the difference between the expenses and the gross receipts minus tax, went to charity. We required license and full compliance with the law in the case of a railroad company which was holding boxing shows or contests among its employees, all of whom they said were amateurs, and which unisoned upon payment of one dollar each by the members of the organization, the proceeds going to buy equipment for the athletes. We have brought under our control smokers wherever any boxing has been a feature. Law Is Clear "Our law is clear and distinct on this matter. In section 4, all boxing, sparring, or wrestling matches or exhibitions for purses or where an admission fee is received are put under the 'sole direction, management, control, and jurisdiction of the commission,' and in section 28 there is indication of exemption of 'boxing, sparring, or wrestling matches or exhibitions in connection with entertainments, when such matches or exhibitions are conducted not for profits.' "By his persistent, wilful, fannatic, and cowardly violations of altruism and decency, of our state laws and commission rulings, of our established precedents and procedure, of his oath of office and his hateful, unfair attitude in general toward participants in boxing Rocap has made himself a detriment to the sport and intolerable on the commission and should resign or be moved." 'HOUSE' SMEARS MORRIS BROWN Atlanta, Ga., April 15—The Morehouse Tigers defeated the Morris Brown nine here 7-2 in a one-sided affair. Forbes, the veteran speed artist, went the entire route for Morehouse, and gave up scattered hits. Harrold, the famed Morris Brown southpaw was sent to the showers in the fifth, when two home runs, a double, a base on balls and a safety were chalked up against him. Bradley, who went to his rescue fared better but was pounded hard at times. He was yanked from the fray in the ninth in favor of Austin. Forbes drove the ball over the left fenced fence for a home run in the fifth, driving in Moseley, while Sykes knocked a homer to deep center and scored Captain Hawkins.

Umpire, Shaw, reporter, Rey- nolds SMITH WALLOPS LIVINGSTONE Charlotte, N. C., April 15—The largest, and most colorful crowd of baseball fans ever seen at any college baseball game played south of Washington gathered at Wearn Field on Easter Monday and watched Livingstone fall before Johnson C. Smith at 7-3. Yokeley, a lean, youngly student, of the "String. Beans" Williams' type, was on the mound for Livingstone and he had everything on the ball that could be desired. The famous Smith murderers row was helpless before his offerings. Only three scratched: hits were made on him. A little fast fielding on the part of his teammates would have netted him a no bit game. Hayes was on the hill for Smith. His deceptive underhand fast ball and rapid cross-fire delivery were in working order. Only five hits were gathered from his offerings. Two of these went to the credit of Jones, Livingstone's hard hitting clean-up man. McKeithen was doing the receiving for Smith.

SOUTHERN TEAMS NOW IN TRAINING (By Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tennessee, April 15—In eight cities of the South, Atlanta, Montgomery, Birmingham, Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, and Albany, Georgia, the boys are in camp, training for the biggest baseball season ever held in Dixie. The owners of the teams have secured for service some of the best managers to be found. Sam Houston Raps P. Quinn Coach Whirlwind Johnson's Samuel Huston Dragons invaded the air of the Tigers on Friday a and Saturday on Conference opening and when the smoke had cleared away after the fray. Paul Quinn had been beaten to the tune of 15-4 and 21-0. The Saturday's game was a real slugfest as far as the Dragons were concerned driving four Tiger twirlers to the dugouts. Fourteen hits coupled with eleven Tiger errors resulted in twenty one runs. Parnell let the Tigers down with four scattered hits while his teammates played errorless ball both days. "BISH" MERRIT HOLDS HAMPTON Richmond, Va., April 15—"Bish" Merritt, Va.

C., April 10—The Clafin Panthers were unable to find their batting eye and with many unusual errors lost the games during the past week. The first game of a series played in Atlanta was dropped to Morris Brown University by a score of 5 to 4. The second game began with a slug fest for Morris Brown and ended by a fine rally by Clafin but the Panthers could not overcome a lead of 12 runs and lost to Morris Brown 12 to 9. Back home Friday the Panthers met Allen University and lost a conference game by long odds. Allen 12, Clafin 4. Stockholm and Stettin, Sweden, are to be connected by a commercial air line. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE ST. PAUL TAKES MEASURE OF HAMPTON IN SECOND MEET BY THOMAS W. YOUNG Hampton, Va., April 15—St. Paul experienced for the first time since the athletic year commenced last month after the defeat of Hampton when the Seasider nine erred its way to a 5-2 reverse on Armstrong Field April 10. What ordinarily would have developed into a beaten pitching duel between two of the most versatile moundsmen in the Association became almost a diamond track meet as the Seasiders continued to make costly errors, practically reversing the results made possible by their superb hurler, "Jimmy" Adams. While Hampton was thus propelling her own doom, the Tigers were strongly behind J. Wallace, who struck out eight hatsmen and allowed five hits, one of which was a sensational triple by Quinion in the ninth inning. Adams, fighting gamely under inexperience also famed for batters and also safety. But for these several valuable mistakes, Adams would have pitched a winning game. Both were right-handers and traveled the entire route. There were several threats of scoring, but not until the ninth did Hampton tally. Quinn, who played a remarkably flashy game behind the bat, smacked out a triple—the only hit of the game which netted over one base—and completed the circuit as the throw to third was poorly made. Yarburgh hitting for Adams, drove the longest飞 for the game but Valentine spared him the glory of a possible triple.

DANIELS TURNS BACK CLARK Atlanta, Ga., April 15—Joe Daniels turned back the Clark University swatters in a 11-inning fray, striking, out 18 ment, and giving up only 6 hits. The game was a pitchers' duel from the start. Daniels having a slight edge over Jennings most of the way. Jennings was forced to retire in the eleventh when the Morehouse sluggers with two out collected three safeties and first base on error. Cornelius who relieved him faced only one batsman. Jennings gave up 7 hits, and sent 12 of the Morehouse players to the bench by the strike out route. The wonderful coordination of the Morehouse team time and again drew the spectators to their feet, while the playing of Riley at centerfield, Captain Hawkins at second, J. Moseley at first and "Kid" Idlett at third repeatedly drew cheers from the enthusiastic fans.

J.—From the inst part of the week, East-Orange js seen one of the busiest weeks for some time. At each Chureh in che city of colored denomination, some demonstration of the Health Week was taken up. At Calvary, -he Honorable Mayors Martions of East Orange, and Murray, of Orange participated on its program tor the betterment of health; with other members of the Health Board, Soon after this most in- structive ‘meeting, the Sunday School rendered a very interesting program to a few who attended its numbers. *On Friday, the funeral of the Eust Orange Dog Warden Mr. James Tisdale, was held at Calvary which was attended by many high officials of the city. Sunday morning the Rev. C. M. ‘Long delivered a splendid sermon in “Health,” taking his text from Romans 12:1. Seemingly no ser- mon on health could be taken from this passage. Rev, Long pointed out in his conclusion the dedication of the body and the spirit to Christ and “presenting ou bodies not dead but a jiving one for Christ.” Three distinct facts were enumerated for the clean body which were freedom from dissipa- tion, cleanliness and willingness to render clean lives for Christ. To a good congregation, Rev. Long brought out so many important truths that two were united to the church at this service. It is very seldom that some one is not added to the Church at almost every service under the influence of the preaching of our pastor. *0On the first Sunday of the in- stallation of the new system of receiving finances. -Calvary was able to realize that over 100 per cent inevease was remarkably no- ticed. “During the afternoon, Cal- vary held Men's Day which was only fairly well, attended’ beeanse of the many other meetings held in East Orange. The Choral Club of the Oranges gave one of their recitals at the East Orange High School. Preaching from the sub- ject ‘Salvation only on Board of the ‘Ship,” Rev. Long spoke to a capacity audience with much en- thusiasm and captivating his con- gregation. Several interesting. in structive and worthy concerts will be given-at_ the Church some of which are “Moses in the Bull- rushes,” The Call of Rebekah” and topping the intended programs on the 30th of this month, a Singing concert will be held on which the sontestants ate Rev.

Pace, prominent bus- iness man of New York City, and known nationally, has announced, his candidacy for tho position of Grand Secretary of the I. B, P. 0. ‘E. of W. at the Cleveland Grand Lodge meeting. Mr. Paco is a ‘former Grand Secretary and Grand Exalted Ruler. "He has been a member of the Order continuously for 21. years, serving it in a period of its his- ‘tory before it rose to the position of power and influence and wealth ‘that it has attained today, At the time ho served the Order as Grand Secretary, many years ugo, he was arrested and threatened to be put in jail in Memphis, Tenn., in 1909, jand threatened with Federal “im- ‘prisonment at Richmond in 1911. At that time the very existence of the Order was at stake, and had Mr, Pace surrendered the books of the Order to the so-called ‘Com- missioners,” as he was ordered to ‘dq by United States Judge Ed- ‘mund Waddill at Richmond, it ‘probably would have meant the ‘end of the Order of the Elks. | The Lean Years During the time Mr. Pace served jus Grand Secretary the Order was in its infancy, boing fought by outside forces and rent with in- ternal strife. It was so hampered by. lack of funds that Afr. Pace ‘hud to pay for the printing of the rerinutes himself in order to get them out within a reasonable time, and then wait for months to be repaid, Salary for services was ‘paid months after it was due, at a rate that seems pitiful in com- parison with the salaries paid to- day. Recalling those lean days of the 1. B. P.O. E. of W. in announcing his candidacy, Mr, Pace says: “At that time there was the ut- ‘most democracy. in the Order and ‘the slogan was “Move up or Move Out.” “In response to that_move- ment T moved up to the office of Grard Exalted Ruler, served you ‘acceptably two years and moved out to make room for someone else. J brlieve that spivit ought to pervade ihe organization, today, and it ought to frown upon the perpetuation in office of any man ‘or set of men. I do not believe ‘that any office should be excepted. There ave too many men of equal ability in the Order for any one ‘man to hold office for life. Each fone ought to cither “Move up or ‘Move out,” as others have done before them. « "pledge you a bnsiness—like administration of the office and the. serving of the humblest member of the Order the same as the most Exalted. J believe that the united power which we possess should be used to help our own members; that the enormous print- ing hills’ which year after year have gone to white printers ought to go to those who are printers in our own ranks. I believe that ev- ery dollar that is spent ought to be spent whenever possible and wher- ‘ever possible within the race and within cur oWn menbershin.

ORITUARY Mrs. Mary Riddile died at the THE BOYS' CLU Why We Appreciate Our Boy's Club To fully appreciate what this club means and will mean to the Negro boys of Norfolk, we must look into the case from several angles. First, we must take into consideration, the conditions for the advancement of our boys. We know that the Negro boys do not have many of the advantages for the development of mind and body that other boys have, and this is why such as ours is needed. Secondly, we appreciate Boy's that in itself is a face that is truly common to all our literary meetings, the japans which are read, the discussions which are had, and the debates are things that so inspire a boy's mind that he will try to improve himself, and by so doing, uplift others. Again, I say we appreciate our Boys' Club because it gives us a broader vision on other thoughts, and insight to one's character. In a club such as ours the talks which we have besides being uplifting, afford good opportunities to study boys. We know that in a group we have to be timid and pretense are omitted, and frankness results. When boys are to themselves, they are very frank with each other, and how a boy acts under these conditions afford the insight to his character. We also appreciate this club because of its policy; the fairness WEAR THE BUCKEYE AND RABBIT'S F A Pink Thomas of Loseville, La., assures it will be a fun gift to joy it lures new num- bers in games, until it gets your rings had it only stays when I own it.

"We build" is the sentiment that is the best way to state our purpose. That of building out of these boys, respectful, law-abiding and God-fearing citizens. I have given to you but a few reasons why we appreciate our club, but let us now look into the other problems that confront us; for instance, there is the problem of getting new members; a solution of this problem may be brought about by the amount of interest we take in the boys we ask to join, and by a practice of the doctrine of this club. The latter, by far is the most important, for we must remember to practice what we preach. Another problem is that of keeping together. We should stick together if we wish to accomplish anything. Let us keep in mind, that the success of this club depends wholly upon the unity of its members. Let us, as we grow older, be not discouraged because we have no parks, no Y. M. C. A. no swimming pools or city playgrounds, but let us, by practice of the convictions of this club press forward and make of ourselves the men we wish to be. Let us, by Divine help to inspire others that they may be lifted from the clouds of obscurity, and even in the face of such adverse conditions under which we exist, may they so improve themselves that they will be remembered, in time to come.

Travelers' Aid during the month of March met 795 trains and 837 beats. The individual, so well acquainted with the city and probably comfortably circumstanced, has only slight knowledge of the vast social service rendered by this organization. Although its help goes out to the young and the old, it is in saving the latter class, particularly the females where remarkable social service is rendered. Hurdles of young and adventurous or unfortunate girls, traveling alone, have been detected at the stations and where Travelers' Aid is needed from dangerous factions. A gain in motherhood with small children have received particular virginity from Travelers' Aid a nd often given most needed assistance. The work is indispensable and is gaining more and more in public understanding and appreciation. The statistical report of the Travelers' Aid Society for the month of March shows that the society was considerably active during this period. A total of 2446 persons received assistance from Travelers' Aid during the past month according to the report. These figures are for the central branch and include all races and classes. The nationalities held include: Americans, Danish, Scandinavian, Swedish, Scotch, Italian, Greek, German, Russian, Polish, Irish, Spanish, Hungarian, Canadian, Japanese, nationalities brought to indicate conclusively that Travelers' Aid is no respector of persons when it comes to rendering assistance. Of the persons assisted by Travelers' Aid, 108 were uncles, under 16 years of age, and 125 females under 16 years of age; 132 males between the ages of 16 and 23, and 180 females between the same ages. 703 adults over 23 years of age were assisted as were 1,147 female adults. Five males and six females over 70 years also received assistance from Travelers' Adi. second lieutenant; Julius Olds, captain. Court of Honor: H. S. Parker, Willie Cuffe, D. Baker, S. L.

WEDNESDAY A courageous girl's fight to lift an embryo, plighty, whom she loves, to the heights; a dramatic slice of show girl life just off the Great White Alley of New York; a roaring tale of crooks and hickers who ply their trade to the tune of jazz hands and popping corks from the vividly colorful background against which is drawn the surging drama of "Queen O' Diamonds," in which Evelyn Brent comes again to the Attucks Theatre, Wednesday. A rapid fire story from the pen of Fred Kennedy Myton, who has written many of this star's most successful vehicles, presents the charming and dynamic little actress in the sort of role in which she has endeared herself to hundreds of thousands of cinema fans. She is a chorus girl fighting against a drab. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY "Irish Luck," the picture Tom Meighan and a company of Paramount players went to Ireland to make, comes to the Attucks Theatre Thursday for a run of two days. The story, directed for the screen by Victor Herman, who made "Old Home Week," is an adaptation by Tom Geraghty of Norman Venner's Saturday Evening Post Serial, "An Imperfect Imposter." Lois Wilson is featured at the head of the cast playing in support of the star. And Tom plays the dual role of cop and nobleman! Several prominent Irish character actors from the famous Dublin repertory theatre have prominent roles in support of the star.

Address your inquiries to "Business Question-Box," Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va. Q. What steps can an owner take to put a tenant out of his property for not paying rent? I have been told that licensed real estate agent is the only one that can do this. Is that true?—Rev. F. W. Jacobs A. It is sometimes difficult and always an expensive matter to remove a tenant who refuses to pay rent and wishes to make trouble. There are so many technicalities in enacting a tenant, that the services of a licensed real estate agent should be secured; although an owner has the right to do anything his agent can do, for in the last analysis, the agent can act only for the owner. Below, are briefly expounded the steps necessary to remove a recalcitrant renter. First, the owner must give tenant a five days notice in writing to pay the rent due or vacate premises. If tenant pays no attention to this, a warrant must be sworn out before a Justice of the Peace for "unlawful detainer", which is tried before the Civil Court Justice. Unless the tenant can prove that he does not owe the rent claimed by the owner, to move or tarries too long for your convenience, your next move is to secure a copy of the Judge's edict and have it served by the High Constable. This notice demands that tenant remove his goods in twenty-four hours after service of notice. If the tenant is still 'hard', you may have the CK WITH THE building and Loan ation, Inc. 5.

Q. May taxes be paid in installments or must I pay them all in a lump sum—W. E. Keats. A. The only division permissible in the payment of taxes, is payment of State and City taxes separately. But each of these must be paid in one payment. Do not forget your City taxes this year are due in July instead of June, as was the case last year. BUSINESS BRIEFS The Lindenwood Grocery Store, corner Barre and Rugby streets, enjoys a somewhat unique distinction. Lindenwood is a section of the city in which there is only one establishment of any kind run by other than a Negro—a D. P. Store was opened on Pollard street the first of this year. This peculiar situation has resulted in increased racial pride and consciousness. This is reflected in the Lindenwood Grocery enjoying a patronage that is very satisfactory to its owners. A woman who has enjoyed unusual success in her vocation is Mrs. Jessie B. Yeargin, expert Hair Culturist and Dermatician; whose establishment at 1678 Church street, is perhaps the finest of its kind in the city. Mrs. Yeargin has practiced her profession in Norfolk for seventeen years. During this period she has built a clientele of some of the best families of Tidewater. Today, her equipment and furniture represent an outlay of many thousands of dollars; and her patronage is so extensive that her three operators are kept busy every hour in the day, and engagements must be made ahead for service. Mrs. Yeargins success may be attributed to the fact that she uses the best system known to her—the Oriental—that she is still a student, searching assiduously for better methods; and that she has never allowed her beauty parlors to be used as a social salon. She is now preparing a series of articles on Scientific Hair and Beauty Culture which will appear exclusively in the Journal and Guide in a few weeks. Like the proverbial candle under the bushel are a great many of our artisans and mechanics. They do good work, but from modesty or some other reason, they are shy of the art of advertising themselves or their whereabouts. One of these is Thomas Mackey, a first class electrician, with a shop on Wide street, near Calvert, directly opposite Hale's Undertaking Establishment. Mr. Mackey knows his business, is trustworthy and reliable, and very reasonable in price: Indict Garland Fund Contributor (By Associated Negro Press) Allentown, Pa., April 13—Charles Garland, who contributed to the cause of uplift the money which constitutes the Garland Fund, which among other benefactions has aided the N.

ASSSCIATION Richmond, April 12—While reports have been slow in coming in to the office of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association from some parts of the state, the amount received to date from the sale of Christmas Seals is $52,814.09. The sales in Alleghany, Arlington, Clarke, Fluvanna, Sussex and Wise will, it is estimated, add about $2,925.00, making the total sale in Virginia $55,739.09. Indicating the widespread interest in the seal sale and the lifesaving work it makes possible, the secretary in the office at Richmond told of a school teacher in a small country community who wrote to the Virginia Tuberculosis Association in March and said that no seals had been sent her this year, and that she felt that she had missed an opportunity to contribute to this work. She enclosed a check for $10 to be used "for checking the spread of tuberculosis in Virginia," adding that it gave her great pleasure to send this money.

PRESBYTERY | Bethany Presbyterian Church ‘has realized her long cherished aspiration to entertain the Pres. ‘pytery. At 8 o'clock p, m., Tues: day, April 6th, Moderator Fowlkes opened what. tirned out to be a most harmonious and constructive Sitting. Tis sermon was practical and inspiring, and effectively pre- fared the large gathering for the Eommunion, which followed. Rev. A. A. Hecton, of Richmond, was unanimously elected incoming moderator. ‘The central interest. Wednesday night was the ordination of Mr. 5. Riley Dungee jr., a Johnson C. Smith. University’ senior, a, men bor of Bethany and the Presby- tery’s solitary ministerial candi- date. Tt was a happy coincidence that Dr. Downing, who baptized the candidate in infancy, was unpre- meditatedly selected to administer the ordination charge. Tt is. interesting, too, that Mr. Dungee’s mother was the first fe- male member of Dr. Downing’s church, in Roanoke, of which his grandfather, the late Elder J. W. Wingfield, was the founder, while his father is the founder, senior elder, S. S. superintendent, and financial secretary of Bethany. It is gratifying that with Mr. Dungee’s elevation, the presbytery adopts two new candidates in his place. The women’s meeting, Thurs: day night, staged a pageant un. ‘der the magnificent management of Misses Reynolds and Gunn, of Danville. ‘Asad circumstance was the s¢- rious illness, which prevented the minister, Rev. W. Scott Miller from being present. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Berkley Ave.) : Although the vain came in tor- rents, the services were well at- tended al! day Sunday. In the morning the pastor, Rev.

Bowling, the pastor, will preach at both serv- fees at the First Baptist Church, this Sunday. He is due to arrive in the city this Saturday evening from Philadelphia. He has been conducting a ten-day revival at the Union Baptist Chureh, pastored by Dr, James E. Kirkland. This is said to be the largest colored Bap- tist Church in the country, seat- ing nearly twice as many people as the average large church. ‘The monthly Communion service will be held in the afternoon at 8:30, Several candidates will be baptized at the morning service. aracr PF CHURCH Last Sunday at Grace Church a very good congregation was present, Rev. Harris preached from John 20:15, emphasizing the danger of not recognizing the ev- er-present Christ. Mary was. so bowed down in her grief because as she thought her Master was dead and now His body had been stolen, that she was not able to her. “We let our troubles, wor- ies, cares and pleasures prevent us from appreciating. the presence of Christ.” From the fact that Mary didn’t recognize the Christ until he called her name “Mary” the speaker developed the lesson of the personal relationship of the disciple to his Master. ‘At this service, Rov. Harris baptized six pupils. ‘At the six o'clock service, Rev. Harris preached from Acts 6:3, 4.

Certainly his record is far more impressive as respects Col- ored America than that of several of his Republican colleagues. ‘Just what were the main issues contributing to the defeat of Sen- ator McKinley at this early date do not appear exactly clear. He voted for entry of the United States into the World Court, as did most other administration Senators. Opponents to the World Court are charging that it was ‘on that igsue alone that MeKin- ley went down. Smith, his, oppon- ent, is an out and out anti-World Court man, and ran on that plat. form, Prohibition did not figure in the voting in the Republican primaries as both Smith and Me- Kinley are avowed Drys, Whether hhe was knifed seriously enough by the colored electorate of Illinois to bring about defeat, as was pre- dicted might be done, is not, yet clear. But one fact remains, Sen- ator McKinley will tetiro ’ from the Senate with the admiration and respect of thousands of Ne- groes all over this country. Brennan Wins George E. Brennan won the Democratic senatorial nomination by an overwhelming majority. He will oppose Smith at the Novem- ber general elections, which as- sures a wet and dry referendum in Tilinois this fall, as the Demo- cratic nominee is avowedly wet, as is his party in that State. And herein exists the possibility of a Democrat representing Illinois in the next Senate in McKinley’s place. REE paces The Girl Reserve Code Is Announced As a Girl Reserve I will be: Gracious in manner. Impartial in judgment, Ready for service. Loyal to friends, Reaching towards the best. Earnest in purpose. Seeing the beautiful. Eager for knowledge. Reverent to God. Victorious over ‘self. Ever dependable. Sincere at all times. SLOGAN I _will try to face life squarely. AN EXPLANATION OF THE GIRL RESERVE CODE To make the Girl Reserve Code more explicit, I will try to ex- plain it: “To face life squarely,” simply means the daily tasks which come at_home, school and play, tobe a friend to everyone, and to strive to show Christian leve in every ittle deed, or anything that you or I may’ undertake, to give the best in service to God, and in (fel lowship) with girls every where. The Christian-like way for a Girl Reserve in every day living is simple and graciousness, con. stant and persistent impartiality, and readiness for service; however, she should be humble and insig: nificant, unwavering, unqualified loyalty "to friends, and an eager desire for knowledge of seeing the beautiful and the worth while in fe, and in living, there should be a sincerity and earnestness of pur- pose which leads upward and out. ward.

H., Vay addressed the school and preached at 11:30 and 7:30 o'clock, He was greeted with the largest crowd that has attended serviees here on a rainy day for several years. Rev. Ellis chose as his text, Isa, 6:1, from which he emphasized the importance of look- ing beyond man and seeing the plans of God. He said for several years Isaiah had been looking upon Uzzinh as the great leader, but when Uzziah hhadl died he looked and saw the vis- ion of an exalted God. Only men and women can move forward sue- cessfully who have the right vision of God.

Church, ‘The ‘Thanksgiving sermon of the Daughters of I. B. P..0. E. of W., which was held at the Metropoli- tan A. M, B. Zion Church, April Tith, at 3 p. m, was indeed an inspiration to those pvesent. Spir- itual, as well as entertaining. I'he mistress of ceremonies, Dt. F, W. Williams was as usual pleasing and filled her place well. Th e splendid paper read by Dt. Alice B. Ryans on Charity was full of good thoughts and sound advice, “Charity” boing one of the prin- ciples for which the order stands. The solo rendered hy Dt. Hattie Cheatham, duet by Dts» Eliza Williams ‘and Mandonia Jackson, the Elks Quartette and_ chorus, were exceedingly good aid they deserve great credit for the music rendered under the direction of Madame Jackson, Supreme Mother Dt.

A splendid offering was given and presentation’s made to the pastor, church, sexton and chorus, fa REV. J. RILEY DUNGEB, JR. PREACHES AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The Rev. J, Riley Dungee, son of Prof. and dirs. J. Riley Dungee, of Wood street, was the pulpit guest of Rev. D. F, White, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Chureh, Jast Sunday morning, April 11h. Rev. Dungee selected his text from the 106 Psalm and the fif- teenth verse, and reads, “And he gave them their request: but sent eanness into their souls;” from which he developed a strong, thoughtful and helpful sermon, that held his audience in its grip from the first to the last word. For Rev. Dungee is a calm and pleasing speaker, armed with keen and eonvineing logic that is hard to resist. ‘The reception he received from the audience after the service rose to almost an ovation, For in the audience were former teachers of his, while in attendance at Norfolk Mission College, and classmates and friends and they were proud of his masterful effort, ‘The occasion of his visit, home at this time was the meeting of fhe Presbytery of Southern Vir ginia, during the sessions of which he was ordained to the gospel min- istry. Rey, Dungee returns to Johnson ©, Smith University, Charlotte, N. ©, where he will graduate from the theological department in June with distinction. He is already in the pastorate and proposes to con- tinue in this line of Christian serv- ce. We predict for him a success- ful and brilliant ministry. MT.

She bought it sensible boots, two dresses, a brown lady's-dress which she herself, finished with white and cuffs, very neat (the to be protected by black suture stets, of course, while teachings), and a wine-red cashmere but she couldn't resist it) for she eagerly learned what she of this region known as New York. Its people were all truck drivers as Dutch landowners, that they fathered and come. Many of them had come from the town of wood, or near it. Others from woodlands outside Amsterdam, a pictured it another Sleepy flow, a replen of the quiet settle- tment in Washington Irving's de- tal tale. Picturing mellow, cnn corn fields, crusty crublers, bbling oyl-koeks, toothsome wilde sides of smoked beef, pumph- pcies; country dances, appli- ced farmer girls, she felt sorry poor Julie staying on in the gray commonplaceness of Chil- the last week in October found on the way to High Prudie, and bestie Klaus Pool in the two-wagon wagon with which he brought garden stuff to the Chicago marsh. Mile after mile of cabbage jade-green against the earth, after mile of red cabbage, a plump Burgundy veined with Between these, heaps of piled-up sunshine. Against shorthair an occasional patch of snow the last russet and of ice and maple. These Klaus Sella snail with her beauty-eye, and eye, and eyes in their black cotton gloves, Oh, Mr. Pool!" she cried. "Mr.! How beautiful it is here!" Klaus Pool, driving his team of dogs down the muddy Halsted Klaus looking straight ahead, his fastest seemingly on an in-pleet spot between the off-horse's. He was not the kind of brain acts quickly, nor was his body's anism the sort that quickly re-energizes to that brain's message. His was china-blue in a round red golden hair was covered with a studded golden hair. His round moon head was set low and solidly the biggest great shoulders, so that he began to turn it now, slowly, unmarveled at the process and felt fidgety to hear a crank. He hurled his grain toward Sella, keeping his grain on the face of his horse's ears. Brident head and the eyes revolved quite distinct processes. Now brident Sella almost directly. His blue eyes showed incomprehen- nunful?" he echoed, in puz- merication. "What is bea- wful?" arms flashed out the greathood of cloak, shawl, marmor and one fringe wide with a gesture that embrained the landscape on which the late afternoon sun was casting a glow peculiar to that lake region, all rose and golden and mist-shimmering. "This! The--the cabbages!" A slow-dawning film of fun crept over the blue of Klaus Pool's store. This film spread almost imperceptibly so that it flitted his broad nostrils, met and widened his full lips, reached and agitated his massive shoulders, tinkled the round bolly, so that all Klaus Pool, from his eyes to his chest, was rippling and skimming with slow, solemn, heavy Dustmirth. "Cabbages is beautiful!" his round oop eaves starring at her in a fiery glove. "Cabbages is beautiful!" His silent laughnow rose and became audible in a rich throaty choree. It was plain that laughter, with Klaus Pool, was not a thing to be lightly dismissed, once raised. "Cabbages" he choked a little, and subttered, overcome. Selina laughed, too, even while she protested her laughter. "But they are!" she insisted. "They are beautiful. Like jade and Burgundy. No, like—uh—like what's that in-like chrysoprasse and porphyry. All those fields of cabbages and the corn and the beet-tops together look like Persian patches." Which was, certainly, no way for a new school teacher to talk to a Holland truck gardener driving his team along the dirt road on his way to High Prairie. But then. Selina, remember, had read Byron at seventeen. Klans Pool knew nothing of chrysoprase and porphyry. Nor of Byron. Nor, for that matter, of jade and Burgundy. But he did know cabbages, both green and red. He knew cabbages from seed to sauerkraut; he knew and grew varieties from the sturdy Flat Dutch to the early Wakefield. But that they were beautiful, that they looked like jewels; that they lay like Persian patches, had never entered his head, and rightly. What has the head of a cabbage, or for that matter, of a robust, soil-stained, rolling Dutch truck farmer to do with nonsense like chrysoprase, with jade, with Burgundy, with Persian patterns! The horses clipped down the heavy country road. Now and again the bulk beside Selina was agitated silently, as before. And from between the golden fuzz of stubble beard she could hear, "Cabbages! is—" But she did not feel offended. She could not have been offended at anything today. Or in spite of her beauty, her loneliness, the confining thought of this new home to which she was going, unnough strangers, she was conscious of a warm thrill of elation, of excitement —of adventure! That was it. "The whole thing's just a grand adventure," Simeon Peake had said, Selina gave a little bounce of anticipation. She was doing a revolutionary and daring thing; a liking that the Vermont Peakes would have relied with horror. For equipment she had youth, curiously, a steel-strong frame; one brown lady's cloth, one wine-roasted cashmere; four hundred and ninety-eight dollars; and a gay, adventuresome spirit that was never to die, though it bed her into curious places, and she often found, at the end, only a trackless waste from which she had to retrace her steps, perhaps in green ways, to her house and green cabages, to be jade and Burberry, chrysorose and porphyry. Life has no weapons against a woman, like that. Klaus Pool was a school director. She was to live at his house. Perhaps she should not have said that about the cabbages. So now she drew herself up primly and tried to appear the school teacher, and succeeded in looking as severe as a white pansy. "Ahem!" (or nearly that). "You have three children, haven't you, Mr. Pool? They'll all be my pupils?" Klans Pool ruminated on this. He concentrated so that a slight frown marred the serenity of his brow. In this double question of hers, an attempt to give the conversation a dignified turn, she had apparently stated some difficulty for his head. He was trying to shake his head two ways at once. This gave a rote motion. Selina saw a moment of agreement, that he was tempting to nod negation and configuration at once. "You mean you haven't—or they're not?—or—" "I have got three children. All will not be your pupils." There was something final, unshakable in his delivery of this. "Dear me! Why not? Which ones won't? Do tell me which ones will and which ones won't." "Geertle goes to school. Jozina goes to school. Reelf works by the form." "How old is Roelf?" She was being school teacher again. "Roelf is twelve." "Twelve is no longer at school. But why not?" "Roelf he works by the farm." "Doesn't Roelf like school?" "But sure." "Don't you think he ought to go to school?" "Quite sure." "Having begun, she could not go back." "Doesn't your wife want Roelf to go to school any more?" She gingered herself together: hurried herself behind the next question. "Then why doesn't he go to school, for pity's sake?" Klaas Pool's pale blue eyes were fixed on the spot between the horse's cars. His face was scene, placid, patient. "Rooft he works by the furn." Selina subsided, beaten. Dusk was coming on. The lake mist cane drifting across the prairie and hung, pearly haze, over the frost-nipped stubble and the leafless trees. It caught the last light in the sky and held it, giving to fields, trees, black earth, on the man seated stolily beside the girl, and to the face of the girl herself and then she glow very wonderful to see. Selina, seeing it, opened her lips to exclaim again; and then, remembering, closed them. She had learned her first lesson in High Prairie. The Klans Pools lived in a typical High Prairie house. They had passed a score like it in the dusk. These sturdy Holland-Americans had built here in Illinois after the pattern of the squat houses that dot the lowlands about Amsterdam, Haunlein and Rotterdam. A row of pollards stood stiffly by the roadside. Yard and dwelling had a geometrical neatness like that of a toy house in a set of phyllings. Peering down over the high wheel Selina waited for Klans Pool to assist her in nighting. She looked through a house. Having jumped down, he was throwing empty crates and boxes out of the back of the wagon. So Selina, gathering her shawls and cloak about her, clambered down the side of the wheel and stood looking about her ARNEY Seilna Stood Looking About Her in the Dim Light, a Very Small Figure in a Very Large World. In the dim light, a very small figure in a very large world. Klaws had opened the barn door. Now he returned and slapped one of the horses smartly on the flank. The team trotted obediently off to the barn. He picked up her little hidebound trunk. She took her sash. The yard was girded up. As Klaws Pool opened the kitchen door the red mouth that was the open draught in the kitchen store grinned a toothwelcome at them. A woman stood over the store, a fork in her hand. The kitchen was clean, disorderly, with the disarray that comes of pressure of cook. There was a not unpleasant small cooking. Seilna sniffed it hungrily. The woman turned to fire them. Seilna starred. This, she thought, must be some other—an old woman—this mother, perhaps. But: "Marrjac, here is school teacher," said Klaus Pool, Selina put out her hand to meet the other woman's hand, rough, hard, celloused. Her own, touching it. She put her hand against his chest. Marjac smiled, and you saw her broken discolored teeth. She pushed back the sparse hair from her high forehead, fumed a little, shyly, at the collar of her clean calf dress. "Pleased to meet you," Marjac said, prily, "Make you welcome." Then, as Pool stumped out to the yard, shamming the door behind him, she ran across the room by the way, too. Lay off your things" Selina began to remove the wrappings that swathed her— the muffler, the shawl, the cloak. Now she stood, a slim, incongruously elegant little figure in that kitchen. The brown indys-cloth was very light and basqued above, very douced and bustled below, "My, how you are young?" cried Marteite. She moved nearer, as if impelled, and fingered the stuff of Selina's gown. And as she did this Selina suddenly saw that she, too, was young. The bad teeth, the thirsty, the careless dress, the littered kitchen, the harried frown—above all these, shaken out or clearly appeared on a girl. "Why, I do believe she's not more than twenty-eight" Selina said to herself in a kind of panic. "I do believe she's not more than twenty-eight." She had been aware of the two pig-tailed heads appearing and vanishing in the doorway of the next room. Evidently her hostess was distressed because the school teacher's formal entrance had not been made by way of parlor instead of kitchen, and she was standing in the front room. Behind the store, tittering, were two yellow-hulled little girls. Geerjee and Jozina, of course, Selina went over to them, smiling. "Which is Geerje? she asked. "And which is Jozina?" But at this the titters became squints. They retired behind the round black bulwark of the wood-burner, overcome. Geerjee's gallery was encompassed by the window where a few hard plants in pots on a green-painted wood rack. There was a sofa with a wrinkled calico cover; three rocking chairs; some stark crayons of incredibly hard-featured Dutch antics on the wall. It was all neat, stiff, unlovely. But Selina had known too many issues of board- NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE ing-house upholstery to be offered at this. Maartje had lighted a small glass-bowled lamp. A steep, uncarpeted stairway, inclosed, led off the sitting room. Up this Maartje Pool, talking, led the way to Selina's bedroom, where she farm that the farm woman, often intermittate through lack of companionship, becomes a torrent of talk when opportunity presents itself. she should have regretful chase. But she didn't reflect, as she spread the bed, possessing its cashmore could be atop cast. From below stairs can frying Selina washed out of the basin, too much milk in swimming little mirror over stand. She adjusted t A narrow, dim, close-smelling hallway, uncarpeted. At the end of it a door opened into the room that was to be Selina's. As its cliff struck her to the marrow three objects caught her eyes. The bed, a huge and not unhandsome walnut mousse, reared its somber height almost to the room's top. The mattress of straw and corn husks was unworthy of this edifice, but over it Mrs. Pool had mercifully placed a feather bed, stitched and quilted, so that Selina lay soft and warm. Along one wall stood a low chest so richly brown as to appear black. The front panel of this was curiously Selina stooped before it and for the second time that day said: "How beautiful!" then looked quickly round at Maartje Pool as though fearful of finding her laughing as Klaus Pool had laughed. But Mrs. Pool's face reflected the glow in her own. She came over to Selina and stooped with her over the chest, holding the lamp so that its yellow flame lighted up the serpils and tendrils of the curved surface, which traced the bold flourishes on the panel. "See? How it makes out letters?" Selina peped closer. "Why, sure, enough. This first, one's on S." "Here—wait!" Maartje Pool thrust the lamp into Selina's hand, raised the lid of the chest, dived expertly into its depths amidst a great ruffling of old newspapers and emerged red-faced with a Dutch basket and voluminous skirt of silk an age-yellow cap whose wings, stiff with embroidery, stood out greatly on either side; a pair of wooden shoes, stained terrenium like the sails of the Vollemand fishing boats, and carved from toe to heel in a delicate and intricate pattern. A bridal gown, a bridal cap, bridal shoes. "Well!" said Selina, with the feeling of a little girl in a rich tittle on a rainy day. She clasped her hands. "May I dress up in it sometimes?" Mariete Pool, folding the garments hastily, looked shocked and horrified. "Never, must anybody dress up in a bride's dress, only to get married. It brings bad luck." Then, as Selina stroked the shift silken folds of the skirt with a slim and caressing forefinger: "So you get married to a High Prairie Dutchman I let you wear it." At this absurdity they both laughed again. Selina thought they had started out very well. She would have such things to tell her father—then she remembered. She shivered a little as she stood up now. There surged over her a great wave of longing for her father—for the theater treats, for his humorous philosophical drawl, for the Chicago streets, and the ugly Chicago houses; for Julie; for Miss Fister's school; for anything and any one that was accustomed, known, and therefore dear. She had a horrible premotion that was going to blight her eyes (turned a little blinder in the dim light and caught sight of the room's third arresting object. A blue-black cylinder of tin sheeting, like a stove and yet unlike. It was polished like the length of pipe in the sitting-room below. Indeed, it was evidently a giant flower of this stem. "What's that?" demanded Selina, pointing. Marjatee Pool, depositing the lamp on the little wash-stand preparatory to leaving, smiled pridefully. "Drum?" "Drum?" "For heat your room." Selina touched it. It was ley. "When there is fire," Mrs. Pool added, hastily. Selina was to learn that its heating powers were mythical. Even when the store in the sitting room was blazing away with a cheerful rourne of the glow communicated itself to the drum. It remained as coolly indifferent to the blasts breathed upon it as a girl hotly begged by an unwelcome lover. "Miarja!" a voice from bowtiewalk. The voice of the hungry dog. The voice of the hungry faint a smell of searching. Then came sounds of a bumping and thumping along the narrow stairway. "Og heden!" cried Marjatee, in a panne, her hands high in air. She was off. Left alone in her room Sellin unlocked her trunk and took from it two photographs—one of a mild-looking man with his hat a little on one side, the other of a woman who might have been a twenty-five-year-old Sellin, minus the courageous jawline. Looking about for a firing place on which to stand these leather-framed treasures she considered the top of the chill drum, humorously, then actually placed them there, for lack of a better refuge, from which vantage point they regarded her with politely interested eyes. Perhaps they would put up a shelf in her. That would serve for her little treasure, and pictures as well. She was enjoying that little flush of exilization that comes to a woman, unpacking. She took out her neat pile of warm woolen underwear, her stout shoes. She shook out the crushed folds of the wine-colored cashmere. Now, if ever, she should have regretted its purchase. But she didn't. No one, she reflected, as she spread it rosily on the bed, possessing wine-colored cashmere could be altogether downcast. From below salins came the hiss of frying. Selina washed in the chill water of the basin, took down her hair and colled it again before the swimmer little mirror over the washstand. She adjusted the stitched white bands of the severe collar and patted the cuffs of the brown lady-scloth. The tight basque was fastened with buttons from throat to waist. Her fine long head rose above this trying base with such grace and dignity as to render the stiff garment beautiful. It was a day of apalling sometimes and equally apalling situations in dress of pumplers, galloons, plastrons, revers, bustles, all manner of limpy devilment. That Selina could appear in this disigning garment a creature still graceful, slim, and plant was a sheer triumph of spirit over matter. She blew out the light now and descended the steep wooden stairway to the unlighted parlor. The door between parlor and kitchen was closed. Selina sniffed sensitively. There was pork for supper. She was to learn that there was always pork for supper. She hesitated a moment there in the darkness. Then she opened the kitchen door. There swam out at the door. She emerged red blue eyes, gutturally tik, the smell of frying grease, of stable, of loom, and of woolen wash freshly brought in from the line. With an inrush of cold air that sent the blue haze into swirls the outer kitchen door opened. A boy, his arm piled high with stove-wood, entered; a dark, handsome sully boy who stared at Selina over the armloud of wood. Selina stared back at him. There spring to life the boy, the boy of twelve and the woman of nineteen an electric current of feeling. "Rook!" thought Selina; and even took as step toward him, inexplicably drawn. "Hurry then with that wood there!" fretted Marjane at the stove. The boy flung the armful into the box, brushed his sleeve and coatfront mechanically, still looking at Seling. Klaus Pool, already at table, chumped with his knife. "Sit down, teacher." Selina hesitated, looked at Maurtie. Maurtie was holding a frying pan aloof in one hand while with the other she stirred and poked a fresh stick of wood into the openings of her cutlery and dressed themselves at the table, set with its red-checked cloth and bone-lined cutlery. Fool flung his cup on a wall-hook and sat down. Only Selina and Maurtie remained standing. "Sit down! Sit down!" Klaus Pool said again. Joyfully, "Well how is cabbages?" He chuckled and winked. A duet of titers from the pigtails. Maurtie at the stove smelled; but a tride grimly, one might have thought, watching her Extremely Klaus had no longer hugged her. She remained unsmiling. Even Selina, feeling the red mounting to her cheeks, smiled a little, nervously, and sat down with some sadness. Marantte Pool now thumped down on the table a great bowl of potatoe fries in grease; a platter of ham. There was bread cut in chunks. The coffee was rye, toasted in the oven, ground, and taken without sugar or cream. Of this food there was plenty. It made Tabbies, Tabbies' oats, Solnitz's visions of chickens, oke-koes, wild ducks, emergy cruters, and pumpkin ples vanished, never to return. She had been very hungry, but now, as she talked, molded, sniffed, she cut her food into infinitesimal bits, did not chew them so well, and despised herself for being dainty. "Well," she thought, "it's going to be different enough, that's certain." This is a vegetable farm, and they don't eat vegetation. Her dog why? What a pity that her herself look like that, just because she's a farm woman. Her hair screwed into that knob, her skin rough and neglected. That bibulous dress, Shapeless, she's not bad looking, either. A red spot on either cheek, now; and her eyes so glute. A little like those women in the Dutch pictures father took me to see in—where?—where?—New York, years ago?—yes. But that woman's face was plaid. This one's strung. Why need she look like that, frowsy, horiz, old! . . . The boy is, somehow, foreign-looking—Italian, Queen. . . They talk a good deal like some German neighbors we had in Milwaukee. They twist their sentences. Literal translations from the Dutch, I suppose." Jokub Hoogendunk, Pool's hired hand, was taking. Supper was over, the men sat relaxed, pipe in mouth. Murjeet was clearing the supper things, with Geertje and Jozmin making a great pretense at helping. If they giggled like that in school, Sellina thought, she would, in time, go mad, and knock their pigtailled heads together. Roelf, at the table sat poring over a book, one slim hand, clipped and gritty with rough work, outspread on the cloth. Sellina noticed, without knowing she noticed, that the fingers were long, slim, and the broken nails thin and fine. Sellina wanted, suddenly, to be alone in her room—in the room that but an hour before had been a strange and terrifying number with its towering bed, its still drum, its ghostly bride's chest. Now it had become a refuge, snug, safe, infinite. She turned to Mrs. Pool. "I—I think I'll go up to my room. I'm very tired. The ride, I suppose. I'm not used . . . " Her trailing trailed off. "Sure," said Maartje, briskly. She had finished the supper dishes and was busy with a huge bowl, flour, a baking board. "Sure go up, I got my bread to set yet and what all." "If I could have some hot water-" "Roelf! Stop once that reading and show school teacher where is hot water. Go to Joina! Never in mind! Did I see such." She wished a concious pigtail by way of emphasis. A wall arose. "Never bother. It doesn't matter. Don't bother." Sellina was in a sort of panic now. She wanted to be out of the room. But the boy, Roelf, wilful swiftness, had taken a battered tin pall from its book on the wall, had lifted an iron slab at the back of the kitchen stove. A mist of steam urose. He dipped the pallet into the thy reservoir thus revealed. Then, as Selina made as though to take it, he walked past her. She heard him ascending the wooden stairway. She wanted to be after him. But first she must know the name of the book over which he was being pored. But between hers and the book outspread on the table were Pool, Hoogendun, dog, pictils, Maartje. She polished with a determined finger, "What's that book Rucif was reading?" Maartje thumped a great hall of dough on the baking board. Her arms were white with flour. She kneaded and pummeled expertly. "Woorden book." Well. That meant nothing. Wooden book. Wooden book. Dimly the meaning of the Dutch words began to come to her. But it couldn't be. She brushed past the men in the tipped-back chairs, stepped over the colli, reached across the table. Wooden word. Book—book. Word book. "He's reading the dictionary!" She read the dictionary. "She had the horrible feeling that she was going to laugh and cry at once; hysteria. Selina flung a good-night over her shoulder and made for the stairway. He should have all her books. She would send to Chicago for books. She would spend her thirty dollars a month buying books for him. He had been reading the dictionary! Roelf had placed the pail of hot water on the little wash-stain and had lightened it. He was replacing the glass cilinder within the four prongs that held it firm. Downtown, in the crowded kitchen, he had seemed quite the man. Now, in the yellow lightpaint, MONET "Fields of Cabbages—What You Said—They Are Beautiful," He stammered. His profile sharply outlined, she saw that he was just a small boy with tousled hair. About his cheeks, his mouth, his chin, one could even see the late faint traces of soft infantile remembrance. "He's just a little boy," thought Selina, with a quick pung. He was about to pass her now, without glancing at her, his head down. She put out her hand; touched his shoulder. He looked up at her, his face startlingly alive, his eyes blazing. It came to Selina that until now she had not heard him speak. Her hand pressed the thin stuff of his coat sleeve. "Cabbages—fields of cabbages—what you said—they are beautiful," he stammered. He was terrible in earnest. Before she could reply he was out of the room, clattering down the stairs. The door was warmed her now endured when she splashed about in the inadequate basin; took down the dark soft masses of her hair; put on the voluminous long-sleeved, high-necked nightgown. Just before she blew out the lump her last glimpse was of the black drum stationed like a patient ennue in the corner; and she could smile at that; even giggle a little, what with weariness, excitement and a general fear of pain; once in the vast bed she lay there utterly lost in the waves of terror and loneliness that envelop one at night in a strange house amongst strange people. She listened to the noises that came from downstairs; voices gruff, unacquainted; shrill, high. These caused and gave place to others less accustomed to her city-bred cars; a dog's bark and an answering one; a fire-furled tie; the dull thief of its stumping to burn floor the wind in the bare tree branches outside the window. Her watch—a gift from Simeon Peake on her eighteenth birthday—with the gold case all beautifully engraved with a likeness of a gate, and a church, and a waterfall and a bird, linked together with spirals and flourishes of the most graceful description, was ticking away companionably under her pillow. She felt for it, took it out and held it in her palm, under her cheek, for comfort. She knew she would not sleep that night. She knew she would not sleep— She awoke to a clear, cold November dawn; children's voices; the neighing of horses; a great sizzling and hissing, and scent of frying bacon; a clucking and squawking in the barnyard. It was six o'clock. Selina's first day as a school teacher. In a little more than two hours she would be faced with the full of fear, Geerties and Zojinas and Roelfs. The bedroom was cruelly cold. As she threw the bedclothes inside Selina decided that it took an appalling amount of courage—this life that Simeon Peake had called a great adventure. (Continued next week) More than 20,000,000 watches were made in Switzerland last year. Modern Youth Bolder For Truth Declares President of College "Indisputably, youth of this time is brighter in intellect, better in judgment, bolder for the truth and harder and healthier in every good way," declared President T. R. Davis, of Walden College, in an address before the Middle Tennessee Colored Teachers' Association, held in Pearl High School last week. "We observe further that youth, as never before, not only yearn for but also protest for greater sincerity in religious life. The sarmon of the minister is required to be briefer, more intellectual, more to the point, and possessed not so much of expression of religious zeal as of sincerity in living the life. In fact, youth nowadays expect an abreast-of-the-times church," continued the college president, whose speech was devoted mainly to a plea for justice and fair-play to youth. Making further comparisons of modern youth and youth of the past, President Davis said in part: "It is quite certain that this great stir about youth is not altogether a new thing and that this attitude of autoecence running amuck is not now heard of for the first time. This attitude is a natural product of the generation; it grows out of the usual conflict of age periods in man; it is part of the world-wide process of change in the intellectual life. We some times forget that forms of thinking must make adjustments. We, of an older generation, find ourselves out of sympathy with the movement of thought and the new point of life around us. Our attitude often is one of lament for the past, and fear for the future. We assert that things are going all wrong, and trace every modern evil to the fact that the world stands no longer in the old path. "The fact that youth is rising throughout the world and presenting themselves before the bar of justice and truth for a hearing on life should not startle us at all. Through the great process of change and development, such remarkable advancement has been made in human endeavor that if the spirit and outlook of youth had not taken adjustment, commensurate with the times, youth would be the paradox of the age. CHANGED METHODS "It would be very interesting and very likely serve as a check on our phillipics, hurled today, at youth, to observe some of the changed methods, contents, and results in the processes of human endeavor. Take education for example, and merely glance at the surface of this field. For the last quarter of a century, education has had the tendency of stressing the social idea; the educated must be those who get along with their fellows; education is useless or no education unless it functions; education should enable one to make a living; and hence, the social sciences more and more hold a prominent place in the education of today. The placing of emphasis also upon the aesthetic constitutes, as never before, an important feature of education; this idea calls for beauty, symmetry and attractiveness in the environment and urges cheer, sincerity and right attitudes in life. Then, the value which has been put upon experience in education is now reaping results; experiment, investigate, search for truth; discover in all lines of endeavor for the sake of the world; go even into vice, crime and related conditions to discover social laws and principles which will combat these conditions. Just as education, with its new principles and purposes, shares in the present spirit and attitude of youth, the older human endeavors art, science, commerce, transportation and the like, with their changed technique and improved methods, inevitably have their influence upon the life of our youth. YOUTH'S GRASP OF WORLD POLITICS "Consequently, youth today more than ever exhibits the tendency to rise up against dogma and evident arbitrary rule. The big lessons and principles of the world have dawned more intensely and more effectively upon the youth of the present than upon youth at any period in history; youth knows more vividly now youth used to know that might does not make right, that dogma has erred many times in the world and is now disputing and fighting against itself, and that authority, in the nature of the case, is easily puffed up and often may not be considerate of its methods. "Again, the young people of today yearn for an intelligent and sincere welcome into the work of the church and desire the preacher to preach SOME that the young people may become a part of Heaven rather than ONLY that the old people monopolize this high privilege. With reference to the Epworth League, the B. Y. P. U., the Christian Endeavor, and the like, old people hold the offices, dictate the policies and do the running in general of these young peoples' organizations, when the young peoples' point of view is not given a chance at all. ATTITUDE HOPEFUL "Youth of today have toward democracy an attitude which is commendable and hopeful indeed. There is no doubt about it, interracial relations and good-will are better today; and brotherhood, world outlook and universal consciousness of right and justice have more a place in the lives of SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1926 South Bolder in Declares att of College he is brighter in intellect, better in harder and healthier in every good avis, of Walden College, in an ad- Colored Teachers' Association, held th, as never before, not only yearn mocracy in religious life. The sarc- be briefer, more intellectual, more to much of expression of religious life. In fact, youth nowadays ex- h," continued the college president, to a plea for justice and fair-play sessions of modern youth and youth part: men than ever before. And this has come about partly as a result of frank and open discussion and consideration of racial questions by students of the colleges, by international councils, and by exchange of ideas of the youth groups of the several nations. "It may seem almost a contradiction to say youth of today is possessed of the spirit of service; we hesitate about this because the young people do not seem to be serving with a noble ambition as we thought we served the people. We forget that if we are not progressive in thought, we will have a misconception of service today. We may forget that service today calls for a different type and character of person. I came across recently an expression bearing on this point. The writer said: "A stoop and soft muscles are no longer popular in academic circles. No longer is the holloweyed 'grind' in school revered. A fino body is no longer an implied impeachment of mental capacity." Harry Webb Farrington, a noted poet, recently said that Joan of Arc was a bobbled hair girl, but some of us can hardly conceive of a bobbled hair girl of today rendering noble service for the people of the world; but this is happening just the same. "Teachers, who share in the sacred trust and responsibility of shaping and directing the life of the community and the nation, may render justice and fair-play to the youth of today; especially may we reflect that this definition of life of youth is normal and that it arises out of the changing order in the world. In history and in the past, we can find time with the same seemingly sudden breakdown of the standards and sanctions of life. We see the same confusion both of thought and of morals. We see violent reactions and frantic attempts to revivify the dying faith. And over some noble works, who see also how the world won out to a new life through and the rising generations whose eyes were filled with the glory of the dawning day, a n of whose hearts met it with joyful courage."

Social Club which was organized last fall has as its motto "To have a good time among ourselves." These twelve young ladies do have a good time, but because of their unselfishness and big heartedness, they have found that they derive the greatest happiness, when they are helping others to be happy, so I think next year they will be compelled to alter their motto. It will be remembered that at Christmas time these young ladies presented the inmates of the Old Folks Home with a ton of coal. On Thursday evening, April 1st, they entertained their mothers at supper at the home of Mrs. Gillian Malley. Those whose mothers had passed away, or were kept away for reasons over which they had no control, were represented by a sister or a very dear friend.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "TILLIE, TOILER" WELL PLAYED BY A LOCAL CAST The four act play, featuring "Tillie the Toiler," Toots and Casper, "Bringing up Father" and "The Gumps" presented by the "New Jersey Club" last Friday night for the benefit of St. James Episcopal Church made the biggest hit of the season. The cast played to an audience which overloved the Parish House, indeed many were turned away. The flippancy of "Tillie" the artfulness of "Mac," the tolerance of Mr. "Simpkins," the utter disgust of Mrs. "Joues," the simplicity of "Tools and Casper," the enlessness of "Rabbit" the gaudy "Maggie and Jiggs" the gaudy cuziness of the Baron and his wife the liquorier appetite of "Dinty Moore" and his gang, the calmness of "Min" the intolerance of "Andy," the connivance of "Carlos and Carotta," the love making of "Unele Bim" and the gracious acceptance of his proposal by Widow "Zander" together with the musical numbers kept the audience on tip-tops from the rise to the fall of the curtain. To single out one would be partial as all were good. Each participant played his role as though he were the character himself. It was pronounced by many to have been the best amateur play seen in the city for many a day. Yielding to an insistent plea from an appreciative public, the management is considering a repetition of the play at one of our play-houses in the very near future. The management wishes also to express its appreciation to the public for its generous patronage. TAYLORSVILLE Sunday services were held as usual at the First Baptist Church.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE NEWPORT UNIQUE CHURCH Church of God (Elder Mich PORT NEWS NEWPORT NEWS UNIQUE CHURCH AND FOUNDED of God (Elder Michaux's Church) Newpe NEWPORT NEWS UNIQUE CHURCH AND FOUNDERS THE BARBER'S CAFE Church of God (Elder Michaux's Church) Newport News THE FAMILY OF MARY E. HARRIS NEWPORT NEWS IS THE RELIGIOUS SECT THAT B IN PRACTICAL CHRIST ORT NEWS IS THE HOLIOUS SECT THAT BELIEP PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN NEWPORT NEWS IS THE HOME OF RELIGIOUS SECT THAT BELIEVES IN PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY By W.M. J. BURRELL Arriving in Newport News from the Chesapeake ferry and taking the local car to 19th street and Jefferson avenue, you see on your right a massive modern building, three stories in height with a depth of approximately 100 feet. This is the edifice of the Church of God, the house of worship of a group of Christian people, who are a living testimony to the Godly aims of Elder Michaux in a practical way. I met Elder Michaux in his private office on the second floor of the building, and he, in a clear and earnest manner related to me his church's faith and works. To give an idea of the fundamentals of his church he quoted from the Holy Bible, reading the 15th and 16th verses. First Duty, which he feels justifies his belief to earthly holiness. He then discussed the practical sides of his work, revealing accomplishments which appear so beneficial and remarkable. In 1919, Elder Michaux, believing holiness a possibility, started the Church of God on Jeffron avenue, in a text, and began extolling his views and telling the people that his works extended into their every day lives with holiness through strict adherence to the teachings of the Church, believing that the ultimate result of this faith is to so convert the human mind into a perfect aim, coveting nothing, with the serving of God its prime object. Things material being secondary issues. This religion, declares Elder Michaux, prohibits the indulgence by its converts of habits detrimental to the health, and no lazy person can be possessed of it. The members of the Church of God consider themselves the faithful members of the hosts who love the Lord with all their hearts and minds and their neighbors as themselves. Elder Michaux, a keen, frank speaking divine, of 37 years, medium in stature, has instituted numerous business ideas and projects, all of which are conducted T NEWS--C T NEWS AND FOUNDERS lux's Church) Newport News IS THE HOME OF THAT BELIEVES CHRISTIANITY --- with a view of conforming with his religious principles. The edifice of the Church of God contains 10 rooms with all modern improvements, having on the ground floor, a grocery store with the profits going to the sick, blind and paralytic and those otherwise inflicted or enfeebled. A charity café is maintained where the sick are given free meals daily, an auditorium with a seating capacity of 400. A fitting illustration of their religion is afforded by the manner in which the pooling of the net earnings of those of the faith, who live in the church's three-story home, 612 22d street. After all expenses are deducted from the total earnings of the occupants, the remaining sum is equally divided among them. For example, John makes $7; Mary $25; Roy $9; total $11; expenses $20, leaving 21, or each individual $7.00. The value of the church property located in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland is estimated at $70,000. Closely woven into this work of Elder Michaux is the Purity League, conducted by Mrs. Mary Michaux, the elder's wife and able co-worker. The building of the organization of which this unique man is the head has not been an easy task, for in the beginning this body of worshippers was persecuted and many times the elder was threatened with imprisonment because of his ambitions and seemingly odd program. Throughout it all, he declares that he and his wife, stood, depending on God for guidance, and through Divine help, the elder asserts, his church, the Church of God, has grown from a small group in 1919 to a mighty host scattered over three states, having sufficient funds to bury all of their dead, care for the sick and to provide free meals for at least 50 people daily. The policy of the church is not to be for financial support, each member contributes cheerfully one day's earnings a week to the cause, thus making the church virtually independent of outside aid.

The liquor question has been forced upon them (as. an issue which thoy have been trying ‘hard to sidestep, and it has got them wor- ‘ried. Then, it is said, they are worried ‘about the Afro-American vote, because so little has heen done for this group of voters .by the Coolidge Administration; but we ‘ean’t see that they have anything to worry ‘about. Tho Afro-American is a Republican ‘as.a matter of principle and he is not to be ‘ghaken in his faith because of being neg- lected or ignored by the Republican fathers. Playing The Game ‘There is something inspiring about ‘achievement. When one journeys to a fa- mous city and sees wonderful buildings, ‘fine artistic homes, a tremendous fabric of commerce and industry, he is incited to go back and try to do something along the Tine of attainment. And the way to suc- cess. is always open to those who know how to play the game. ‘Fortune does not come by luck, Sue- bess comes from playing the recognized game of business, taking advantage of ec- ‘onomic law, giving the people some better Service than they had before. “The pages of any well circulated maga- zine or newspuper will give the ambitious man hints that have been boomed by adver- tising, He will note many articles that became a household word through the power ‘of publicity. A few years ago the producers of these articles may have been obscure men. But they had faith to go ahead and promote their products through publicity, and a great harvest has resulted. + So it is in the use of publicity in’ the newspaper field. All big successes in re- tail trade have been produced by advertis- ing. A number of years ugo in many eases these firms were unknown or non-existent, ‘or only starting in a small way. ‘Theie owners were students of human nature. They knew that if a concern kept its name and its business before the eyes of the pcople, if it constantly told about the ‘things it was selling, it would arouse pub- Jie interest and get more than its share of trade. When people get that idea and ad- vertise intelligently and give good stuff, success is sure to come as anything can be in the world of chance. It is.a shor! path to euccess, and the door is always open to emotes: An Excellent Move ~ Semper Fidelis, a literary organization of the University of Nebraska, doscrves special commendation for instituting in the university and the city of Lincolu, Negro Literature Week, which had its initial ob- servance March 15-21 last, the express pur- pose being to acquaint the general public with Negro writers and their works. Re- ports of the event state that the Lincoln city and university libraries und the Daily Nebraskan, official publication of Nebraska University, cooperated in making it a sue- eis. :., This movement indicates two very im- portant things concerning better race re- lations and broader education. First, it shows that the colored students of the Uni- versity of Nebraska are themselves taking a ‘deep interest in Negro history and literature and that they are arousing among their fellow white students a like interest in these sub- jects; second, it shows what a great in- fluence for better racial understanding col- ored students in white colleges can tactfully exert. i Ten leading Negro newspapers, of which “the JouRNAL AND GUIDE was one, were ex- hibited in the college book store on Negro Journalism Day, x feature of the observance. Reports state that these papers were viewed “by hundreds of students on the first day, ‘and the Daily Nebraskan carried a story of ‘the exhibit on the front page, besides an ‘editorial on “Negro Literature Week.” ,: We recall that the University of North Carolina is giving special attention to this phase of the race question and is approach- ‘ing it candidly, but sympathetically. With these encouraging signs, the young Negro ig justified in his confidence that the edu- cated youth of both races are going to work Gut a Christian solution to this so-called race problem.

CA reader outside of Norfolk has made known his surprise at this city not having ‘a Young Men's Christian Association. What “Gg true of him, is equally true of many oth- ser, dutsiders who learn of Norfolk's de- Tinquency in this particular. 2” Maybe there ave few outsiders who know that Norfolk has no Young Men's Christian ‘Association and they cannot help from being ‘surprised when they are informed ‘thati-a city. of Norfolk’s proportions and ‘population seems to have such little vegard for’ its youth. ‘ then ‘a community cares nothing for {ia youth/sit i logieal to presume that it S fesinauight for its future, for the perpet- igtion”of. its ideals: and: for the passing “on ‘Haitorial Page of of its strength und character, down to the offspring that is*yet unborn. Fow, if any can hope to direct the foot steps of their progeny in the paths of recti- tude and integrity, by home training alone. There must be placed in those environs, where youth will surely trod during the course of @ lifetime, things that have those potent influences so necessary in the life of all who will be anything, And in those environs, there can not be placed a better molder and maker of character than a Young Men's Christian Association, If Norfolk hopes to save its youth, youth savers must be placed in the midst of youth. If Norfolk hopes to preserve its youth, youth preservers must be placed in the midst of youth, If Norfolk will carry on to the heights, it must aid the men of tomorrow, whose tasks it will fall to assist in tho carrying on. Does Norfolk want its youth to degen erate? It is certain to say that she docs not, but this is exactly what is about to take place in a very short while, And when its youth has erumbled and dceayed, the foundation will have been dug from under the older set and it will soon witness retrogression. You people of Norfolk, is it not appalling to face these facts? Docs not a pang of horror grip you, when you think what surely will happen, if proper steps are not taken? Last, but not least by any means, do you not feel it your duty to protect that, which you have given part of four life itself? A Congressman Who Stands Alone Few men are strong enough and brave enough to stand by their convictions against their neighbors. ‘The general disposition is to follow the crowd, right or wrong. This is pronouncedly and discouragingly so in politics. Given a false issue, or bunch of issues, and a lot of men who profit by re- solving and keeping them alive and active, and a bad condition of affairs is always ereated which it is difficult to get rid of Tt is this sort of thing that has gradually brought about the atrophied political con- dition in the Southern States, where a white ‘man cannot be a Republican and retain the respect of his white neighbors end a black man eannot be a Democrat and retain the respect of his black neighbors. This con- dition makes both sorts cowards, who vote the way they hate and not the way they reason to be best for themzelves and for their neighbors. Charles Sumner once said, in the course of debate in the Senate, where he was often compelled to stand alone on phases of the question of slavery, that “One with God is 2 majority.” He was soothed and sustained through a long and glorious career by that viewpoint of his duty as a Senator. ‘Thad- deus Stevens, who refused to be buried in a white churchyard in Limeaster, Pa., be- cause of the wickedness of his white race against the black race, must have thought about it as did Charles Sumner,—the one the champion of the slave in the House and other in the Senate of Congress. ‘The renders of the JouaNat ann Gute of April 10, must have been surprised by the article, headed, “Pledges Fight on all Political and Civie Barriers,” in which the story is told of Representative John B. Sosiowski of Michigan, who “pledges him- self to an unrelenting fight against every barrier set up against the equal civil and political rights for every class of American citizens.” That is a big program and we hope Mr, Sosnowski will be returned to Congress so that he ean continue to prose- cute it-us there is plenty of opportunity to do which he will always find in the House of Representatives. We judge by his name that Mr. Sos- nowski is a citizen of foreign horn parentage and that consequently by the standard of citizenship set up by some Americans, he has no right to be a citizen and to be a Rep- resentative in Congress. He may be also a Catholie and of Jewish parentage. He is a Republican in polities as well, and take him all, while being such a citizen as Sum- ner and Stevens would delight to associate and work with, he is an outlaw American according to one standard insisted upon by an arrogant and fussy group, who imagine that they are better than other American groups. Mr, Sosnowski stands alone among his fellow Congressmen, as Thaddeus Stevens did, but we hope that his tribe may in- ‘erease in the halls of Congress and in other wanes. a President Coolidge Talks About A Citizenship and Freedom é 1 In an address at the laying of the corner | stone of the new home of the National Pres , | Club, in Washington, April 8, Presider ; | Coolidge paid a very glowing tribute to th ® | Amorican newspapers.

We do not think the tribute citirely true to fact, as to now or to the past. He says, for instance, that “the public press of this country is absolute- ly independent; in general it is remarkably clean and wholesome.” ‘That is saying a great deal. The responsible press of this country is remarkably partisan, while bus- iness interests control many to conserve their interests at all hazards. ‘The Presi- dent was evidently throwing tubs to the newspaper whales, with the view of making them his friends for future service, if he should decide that he wants to succeed him- self in the White House. There are not many independent daily newspapers south of Washington, we believe, and very few of them can claim thelr soul as their own. They reflect the biased, narrow public opin- ion, for the most part which supports them, and would not support them if they did not report the news and give the opinion they want, From the viewpoint of doctored news and editorial opinion to support the doc- tored news, how can they be “clean?” “The press of our country is free because the Constitution guarantees. it froedom, therefore, says the President, “It should advocate resolutely, and at all times the observance snd enforcement of the law.” Should, yes; but when has it done it? Not in the controversy over slavery; not in the controversy over reconstruction and the proper consideration of the war umend- ments; not over Tiquor enforcement law. ‘The following sentences further discover the President's outlook: “In our domestic affairs an exceedingly important principle to observe is nationalism. This is all one country. We are all one people.” “It is ‘énough that all can say, “This is a part of America,’ and ‘We are American.’ Under our institutions, all are equal.” And then the President dropped into philosophy, say- ing: “The progress of civilization is a progress all away from emphasis upon Uhat which is essential. When we wisely decided not to ereate those arti- ficial barriers which are represented by orders of nobility, but to let true worth ereato for all our inhabitants 2 univer- sal class, we recognized one of the great truths of human cxistence which eannot be too often emphasized. Amer- icans are all privileged. “Browlly speaking, all of these sug- gestions fall under the principle of tol- eration, ‘This means the adoption of a broad and generous spirit under which each may work out his own destiny in accordance with his own merits. Race hatred, class feeling, religious persecu- tion, however these may be exhibited, whether under a form of law or Uhra the force: of public opinion, or even in defianco of Iaw, have no justification in reason and are disastrous in their consequences. They dwarf and destroy those who’ permit themselves to come under the domination of these motives.” ‘Thes2 are all high and lofty opinions, and we are pleased that the President has expressed them; but they do not represent the facts of the past, nor of the present, as yeflected by American newspapers; and the idealism: of tho nation which he sets forth with much clarity, especially in the two paragraphs we here quote, are idealisms by which the nation will rise or fall in the de- velopment of them out of theories into ae THE GUIDE POST J RICHARD H, BOWLING ‘A Delinquent Girt Loud, piercing screams drew the atte tion of every Passenger.

Instead of the lustful gazes that had finally brought her to this hour, the eyes of this preacher beamed the love that passeth not only knaw- ledge but man-made barriers. She had no handkerchief, He gave his. Her belong- ings were falling here and there. She had no strings with which to keep these poor ar- ticles of wear together. He found one.

Health Talks "emt peta ww neal Bt Sititiree proper rood” Man’s ascendency over the lower orders of creation has likewise given him a rich heri- tage to many nutritional di- seases. We are all stokers re- sponsible for the fuel intake into ‘our human economy. We need the right fuel at the propor time and in proper amounts. Certain diseases result from feeding the human engine improper foods. in order to exist we need to give our bodies food, water and cer- tain salts. Foods are divided into three great classes, (a) Fats, such as are found in ciam, butter, nuts and the fat of meats; (b) Proteins, such as lean meat and eggs; (e) Carbo- hydrates, including the starches and sugars contained. largely in read, vegetables, and especially potatoes, corn and fruit. These foods when taken into the body are broken up by the digestive juices, absorbed by the intes- tines, ‘and carried by the blood to nourish all tho tissues of the body. ‘These tissues are made of cells, each coll like « minute engine ‘which must be supplied with fuel and water in order to perform officient work. Pro- leins keep the cell engine in working order; carbohydrates supply wood for the little engine, these being easily burned into onergy; and the fats keep the fire going already kindled by the carbohydrates. ‘These tiny en- gines are oiled by a special group ‘of glands known as the glands of internal secretion. Sometimes, due to tho lack of secretions or oils from some of the internal glands, pancreas for instance, which influences the digestion of carbohydrates, the engine does not receive a proper amount of fuel. As a result, the human machine breaks down due to lowered resistence and can- not even burn the best of foods. Diabetes, popularly known as “sugar in the blood” is a condi- tion of this nature. The tiny engine cells are not properly oiled by the internal secretion from the panereas, hence only a limited amount "of earbohy- drates can be utilized. If too much carbohydrates be eaten, it accumulates in the body giving rise to excessive thirst. The patient drinks large quantities of water, eight or ten quarts daily. Due to this large intake of water there is a frequent de- sire to urinate, The body tis- sues or minute engines are not properly fed, resulting in con- stant hunger. In addition, there is loss of weight and the patient feels generally run-down. When these signs, excessive thirst, fre- quent urination, occur, go im- mediately and consult with your physician, Prompt. recognition and medical care of such condi tions are highly imperative. Gout is another troublesome condition which not infrequent- ly results when the human en- gine does not properly burn ‘its fuel. Food plays a very signifi- cant role, also over-eating with- out sufficient exercise might well predispose to the condition, It pene. ees , Saturday, April17,1926° THE DYNAMICS OF EDUCATION During the’ past fifteen or twenty years we have heard very Pee little of the fg diseussion of & ‘ig power of odu- =e ate cation as @ Ce factor in the eee equation of auntie race problem. orev ‘The prevalent Ail discussion and i agitation takes Bee on more of a SAL political char- Pe acter which Sac AEM concerns itself teste diseussion of power of edu- cation as a factor in the equation of race problem. The prevalent discussion and agitation takes on more of a political char- acter which concerns itself matnhy with how Negro schools should be controlled, manned and managed. There has been great improve- ‘ment in efficiency, so far as con- cerns. the standardization of courses and thoroughness of in- struction, But the fire and en- thusiasm of the former days have died away almost to smoulding embers. Facilities have ineroased, faculties have been enlarged, educational plants and appliances have been ang- mented, but the afflatus has shown no like expansion. In the beginning, the idea was new, the apfieal was compelling. Line coln, Fisk, Howard, Atlanta, Wilberforce, and Shaw were names to conjure with. The black boys heard the call and came rushing in from tho cotton fields and rice swamps to the new seats of learning. The teachers who came down from the North were not edu- cators, in the present day senso of the term but they were in- spirators, They brought the Bible in their right hand and the text book in the left. They be- lioved in God and in the pos- sibilities of his creatures, albeit their faculties and powers had been smothered by suppression and ill usage. ‘They met the Ne- 10 pupil face to face, heart to heart, and mind to mind. ‘They regarded themstlves as elder brothers not as superior crea- tures. The response was all but miraculous. They appealed to the manhood of the Negro, and the appeal met with immediate response. As in water, face an- swereth to fac, so the heart of man to the heart of man. ‘The carly missionaries hud no guile nor was there any coneeit in their heart, They believed in the Negro, and he believed in them. They sent in to the world college graduates, the sum total of whose schooling would not equal a high school certificate; but they were so filled with self confidence and the righteousness of their cause that they were enabled to do feats of service which soem marvelous in our eyes. After all, inspiration is the dynamie factor in education. Tho letter killeth, the spirit maketh alive. Mere technical efficiency, unless it is shot thru with consecration and zeal is but vexation and vanity of spivit, We all deplore the waning of the old time force and fervor, and would seek the means by which it might be restored. The was once held that the condition was confined solely to the well- ‘to-do, but a combination of poor food, improper hygiene and the use of malt liquors in excess makes a “poor man's gout,” a rather universal condition re- specting neither caste nor creed. Obesity, an overgrowth of bod- ily fat, is a very common con- dition and often alarming to the weaker sex. Hero again, the fuel intake must be taken into consideration. Simple obesity is not very grave, other than the inconvenience caused by tho bulk. Generally this is the feature for which the physician is consulted. To guard against these con- ditions, overweight should be reduced by limiting the diet and taking judicious exercise under the doctor’s directions. The dict should be a wholesome, balanced ‘one, and too much candy and other sweets should not be eaten. And lastly, health examinations by your doctor, will lead to early discovery and prompt treatment, and the. prevention of serious complications. Remember the dictum—“An ounce of preven- tion is worth a pound of cure.” eee ; \The Poet's Corner Conquest Weeds, not always in wicked places Sometimes they crop in modest spaces Tempting in us their naughty fun, Gnarling their roots round our soul's bright sun.

It may be also that the age in which zeal for human service expressed itself in that form has alzo de- parted. ‘The new Negro is here. He can neither see no fee! as his forebears saw and felt. The is- sues of thut time must needs he translated in terms of the de- mands of the new day. The spirit is the same although it may take on a different mod: of manifestation. The present day generation of college youth are every whit as noble us that which went before them. But the consecration to God, coun- try and race is neither so ob- vious or assertive ow as then. ‘The respons? to the educational appeal is not so spectacular, nor After all, the effectiveness of education depends upon the trend of social philosophy and opinion. The influence of train- ing is largsly the outcome of what the student thinks of him- self. If he thinks that he is a man among men, it will react upon his life accordingly. If on the other hand he feels that he is good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under the fect of better men, then all of the education under heaven can not ennoble his nature or ef- fectuate his deeds. Pessimism is the great vice that can invade the soul. Self belief is the only virtue worth while. What is the value of education to a man who does not believe in himself? He becomes a mere intellectual au- tomaton. tomaton, The Negro collegian of the elder day had self-belief. He lived in a world in which this spirit was rife. Public senti- ment favored and fostered one hundred per cent equality. Statesmen vied with each other in support of the manhood elaims of the Negro. Members of the race were encouraged to scelt high public station. Negroes sought seats in congress and in the diplomatic service. The young collegians were encour- aged to aspire for any form of service which their capacities warranted. The Negro race was douyed up by this atmosphere of public good will and esteem. He aspired to serve his race on the highest level of his powers. A college course was looked upon as having talismanic powers. To go to college was like re- moving oneself from vulgar contact for four years and im- mersing oneself in a rarefied at- mosphere where the choicest spirits held high communion with one another. A college diploma was looked upon as an open ses- ame to opportunity and privi- lege. But alas, all of this has changed. ‘There hus been a rude awakening. The Negro has been cast down from the high seat of public favor. The tide of pub- lic favor runs icily against him. He now hardly aspires to high public favor. He looks into the ground, and is hardly expected to enst his eyes unto the heavens, or seek a place in the sun. The political party whieh once made him the second man in the king- dom now courts his favor only on election day. ‘The cultural cle- ment in his education is tolerated only as subsiduary to its voca- tional use. Few white men now dure advocate the higher educa- tion of the Negro, exeopt with palliation or apology. The Ne- gro must prepare, they say, for leadership, the ignorant must be enlightened, the lowly must be uplifted, the blind must be wisely guided. But this guide ance, we are told, must be in harmony with a’ preconceived philosophy which limits his as- iration to humble and saeri- ficial spheres of duty and service. There is missing that ancient appeal to the quickening ener- gies of manhood. Self culture must come before self-sacrifice, else there were nothing worth- while to sacrifice. A conscious sense of manhood must precede specific fields of service. The man is more than his work. Worthwhile work can only be done by worthwhile men. ‘The task which devolves upon the shoulders of this generation of Negro youth is as great as any which has ever fallen on humaa shoulders. It is lamentable to relate, their present day educa- tion, whether in public or pri- vate sehools, is sadly lacking in the inspirational appeal which will strengthen and nerve them for this august responsibility.
