Norfolk Journal and Guide DEGENERATE FATHER RUINS EIGHT GIRLS North Carolina Welfare Worker Brings Father To Court On Charges of Having Debaubacked His 8 Daughters. REVOLTING STORY IS REVEALED IN COURT Thursday morning, April 22nd in the Cabarus County Superior Court, held at Concord, N. C., Thomas Shankle, the father of twelve children was convicted of the crime of incest. The trial of this case has aroused much interest throughout the state because of the many revolting crimes against nature charged to the father. These conditions are so sordid and unhuman, as to be almost beyond human belief. The case was originally brought to the attention of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare by the Massachusetts Society for the Development of Children. The State Commissioner of Welfare, Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, in turn referred the matter to Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, director of colored work in the state for investigation and action. The beginning of this dates back about twenty-five years. Shankle has been married twice. By his first wife he had five children and by his second wife nine children. Eight of these children are girls. The record shows that from earliest childhood the father has had investious relations with all his daughters. Lieut. Oxley's investigation brought out the following additional facts. Shankle's method was to begin by swearing each child to secrecy, so that none of the children knew that the father was having improper relations with any other member of the family. Later it became known, however, so that for years Shankle has first on the mind of the others in the presence of the others, and in the presence of the author, so also committed the most resulting acts of sodomy on his daughters as well as his second wife. Case Proved Difficult The case proved most difficult to handle because of the fact that Stanley had much influence among white people in Concord and the surrounding county. Two former investigations were unsuccessful s f u l because of the father's influence in the community, thus all efforts to recover the conditions and get at the real facts were blocked. Shankle Convicted Following a personal investigation by Lieut. Oxley, Shankle was arrested and held under a bond of ten thousand dollars. At the preliminary hearing probable cause was found and he was bound out to the April term of Cabarrour County Superior Court. The grand jury returned four true bills against Shankle charging the crime of incest in each case, and the matter was thrashed out before a jury last Thursday resulting in a verdict of "guilty." Shankle's lawyers finding themselves without any defense for the victims of their client centered their attack on Lieut. Oxley, injecting the race question, and matters of religion, arranging North against the South. In the face of this unjustified smoke-screened by the defense counsel, the solicitor for the state, was站ed by the officer of Shearing, Armfield and Bonhard, presented the contentions of the court. When it is realized that the acts charged against Shankle have covered a period of twenty-five years and that two former investigations failed to bring a conviction, much credit must be given Lieut. Oxley and the department of state he represents for the results obtained and the splendid piece of welfare work accomplished. A German electrical engineer has invented a device that will enable a technician, by merely touching a simulator with the tips of his fingers, to recover the miscreant unconscious. F. D.

Jones, as engineer at the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans, had been received and ac- This action was taken after an exhaustive hearing into charges that he had conspired to bring about the removal of Col. J. H. Ward, the commanding officer, and counter charges that Dr. Ward was seeking to bring about the dismissal of all employees who had not approved of his administration of hospital affairs.

CELL SUICIDE PUZZLING, SAY BERKLEYITES Too Many Cases Of Suicide And Attempted Suicide Happening In This Station To Set Well With Public. WANT PRISONERS MOVED TO CITY JAIL IN FUTURE The alleged suicide of Ed Dozier, aged 22, in a cell in the Berkley Police Station Monday afternoon and the alleged attempted suicide of David Hobbs in a cell in the same station a week before, have given rise to considerable anxiety among the colored people of Berkley for the personal safety of colored prisoners detained in that Police Station, according to sentiments that are being freely expressed by virtually the whole Negro population on that side of the river. The similarity of the methods alleged to have been used by both men in the suicide and attempt at suicide cases, coupled with what is known about the type of man Dozier was, has started these citizens shaking their heads and nurturing their own theories about the cases, in spite of the explanations given by the police. Police Story According to published police accounts, Edj Dozier died in St. Vincent's Hospital Monday night as a result of self-inflicted wounds suffered in a cell in Police Station shortly after he was arrested on a charge of attempted highway robbery and assault. Shortly after he had been placed in the hospital was found with his neck covered with a full instrument, that he placed his belt around his neck then tied it to the cell door and jumped, the buckle infiltrating the gash. It was said that he, however, had removed the belt before he was found in a pool of blood and rushed to the hospital. Charges Against Him Doier had been arrested on charges made against him by W. D. Dowdy, of South Norfolk, who claimed that on Saturday afternoon after walking toward his home after having drawn his weekly salary at the plant of the Norfolk Stave and Timber Corporation, he was attacked by a colored man with a baseball bat, fought off with a assault, he said, after receiving business from the out of the bat. While in a soft drink parlor in Berkley Monday afternoon, Dowdy espied a man passing in whom he claimed he recognized his assailant. The man was Dozier. A chase is said to have ensued in which Police Lieutenant White joined, finally commanding an automobile and overhauling the fleeing man. Dozier was placed under arrest by Officer White and the charges preferred against him. This was said to have occurred about 3:40. At 3:48 Sergt. Frank Barron, was said to have gone to the cell to ascertain the man's name, he having given two names at the time he was placed on the docket. At 4 o'clock Lieutenant White went to the cell to question the man and to found him bleeding to death. Known All Over Berkley Dozier was known all about Berkley, and those who knew him best and emphatic in their declarations that he was not in their opinion the type of a man who would be likely to kill himself because of his arrest on any charge. They say jail was no new experience with Dozier, he having been arrested many times before, and that he was not a man who would suffer any remorse or chagrin about such a predicament as he was in, even if he knew himself to be guilty and facing a certain term in prison. He was more of the happy-go-lucky sort, these people say, but would fight in a minute if pushed too closely. These people who have expressed themselves concerning the case declare that they positively doubt that any circumstances or fate in life could so mortify Dozier as to make him dream of suicide, simply because he was not capable of or accustomed to taking trouble as seriously at that. Some of those who have talked about the case are a little keery about the manner in which Dozier (Continued on Page Eight) BURNS Men, Women And Babies Clubbed And Driven From Home Ten Years For Attack on Girl (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, 111., April 28—Ten years to live is the sentence imposed upon Abraham Savage in Judge Gemmill's court.

April 27.—Retribution came Miss Mississippi inst. Thursday morning when Harold "Dook" Jackson, white alleged accomplice in the murder of two federal entomologists and slayer of the wife of Chris Pierson, was taken from jail here in his pajamas, carried to Picayune and hung from a bridge. Thirty men are said to have been in the party. They used a blow torch to burn their way through three doors. They found the prisoner awake, but in his night clothes. Permission to dress was refused him, he being reminded that he would "soo he in eternity". The Pearl River Grand Jury is in session and was instructed on Friday by Judge. O. Langston their investigation of the lynching. It was in Mississippi this winter, just after the issuance of a remarkable pamphlet, entitled, "Mississippi and the Mob," and purporting to represent the sentiment of the State's best citizens that Lindsay Coleman, Negro who had been acquitted of murderized by a mob and murdered.

SWEET TRIAL GETS STARTED IN DETROIT Detroit, Mich., April 29.—Gathering momentum after a tedious week devoted to the task of selecting a jury from among more than two hundred men impaneled, the celebrated case of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet and ten others, charged with murder in connection with the killing of Leon Breiner last September when a mob of whites surrounded the Sweet home because Negroes were objected to in the neighborhood, got under way here Saturday morning when the last of the twelve jurors was unexpectedly chosen. So difficult did the prospect of choosing a jury loom on Friday afternoon that the chief defense council threatened to ask for a change of venue. The main counsel for defense are Clarence Darrow, eminent criminal lawyer of Chicago; Thos. F. Chawke, described as the most successful criminal lawyer Michigan, and Julian Perry. The state is represented by Robert Toms and Lester Moll. After the disagreement of the jury that the defendant of Dr. Sweet and his ten co-defendants, Attorney Darrow asked for separate trials for each defendant and the prosecutor was successful in having Henry Sweet, who is said to have admitted firing a shot, brought to trial first. The defense contention in his behalf will be self-defense. HEAD RUINS SHOTGUN (By Associated Negro Press) Little Rock, Ark., April 28—Without even a lump on his head, J. A.

Carteret, N. J., Scene of Race Disturbance That Empties Town of Whole Colored Population. POLICE CONNIVE WITH BANDS OF MOBS Carteret, N. J., April 28.—A race disturbance exceeding in proportions any reported in a Northern city since the Johnstown, Pa., riot of some years ago, broke out here Sunday, and hundreds of colored families, men, women and children have been mobbed, clubbed, beaten and driven from the city. A colored Baptist Church was set to flames by the mob while filled with worshippers, in spite of a plea for mercy by the preacher. But the disturbance here could scarcely be called a race riot, for all the rioting has been on one there. There has been so far no exchange of shots and clubbing between the races. The whites have simply formed in armed mobs and driven the colored people out of the town to allowing them opportunity to carry nothing more than what they might hurriedly grab in their arms. Women with crying babies, old men, frantic children, all have felt the mob's fun. Up to today a score or more of colored men and boys had been clubbed and beaten, six colored men arrested and jailed. No white man has been molested by the police, not a single one arrested. Negroes in the streets by policemen, have been herded together and watched, while white men have boastfully walked the highways armed with clubs and guns in plain view of policemen, but not one has been jailed. In fact, members of the mob have openly bragged that if a policeman hits a white man, he will be killed. Mobs of men and boys have gone to the house of colored families in the middle of the night, awakened the fathers, mothers, to leave town and ordered them to leave town "Get the hell out of Carteret, and never come back." How Trouble Started The trouble started Sunday morning when a young white prize fighter, Johnny Carroll, w a s stabbed to death by a colored man and Carroll's companion, Ralph Johnson, seriously wounded. Carroll, said to have been on his way home with his wife and Johnson. They saw a colored man and a white man on the street fighting. Carroll and his party were said to have declined to interfere, but walked on. When a little way up the streets, it is alleged, they encountered another group of colored men, one of whom fatally stabbed Carroll and lunged the knife at Johnson. Carroll died shortly after with a wound in his lungs. Six men have been arrested and lodged in jail in connection with the killing, one, Albert DuCoast, charged with the crime. Mob Forms The news of the tragedy swept through the town of about 14,000 inhabitants like wild fire. Carroll was the idol of Cateret. Immediately, mobs began forming, arming themselves with baseball bats, clubs, guns, bricks or anything handy. All day it was forming. Just as evening approached they marched on the First Baptist Church, applied oil soaked rags and paper to it and to these lighted a match. The building was soon in flames, when the tor, the Rev. R. Reeder stood on the steps and begged for mercy. He was shown on the but ordered abave town at once. The mob fired shots into the church, and one white man laughingly told reporters for the metropolitan press how he had coaxed a little colored boy out and then cracked him on the head with a club.

Democrat Congressman Of New York Asks Congress to Look In Working Conditions On Parlor Cars. CHARGES COMPANY WITH RACE EXPLOITATION (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., Apr. 28—Representative Emanuel Celler, Democrat, of New York, introduced a resolution in the House, Monday, proposing an investigation by the House committee on labor of wages, hours and conditions of employment of Pullman porters and maids. His resolution also proposes an investigation of the financial history and conditions of the Pullman Company as they affect wages and conditions of employment with a view to preventing exploitation of Pullman porters and maids and their receiving wages commensurate with their services. Could Subneona Witness The Celler resolution would empower the House committee on labor to sweat witnesses and take testimony in the District of Columbia and other parts of the country. The preamble of the resolution declares that the Pullman Company engages primarily in the sale of services, especially that of its porters and maids, from which it derives its profits. It sets forth that it is claimed by those engaged in the attempt to unionize Pullman porters that wages are at a miserable level and conditions and hours of employment are such as to menace health and efficiency. Working Conditions Attacked He said that the Pullman porter "is given little sleep on his long trips and must spend from five to seven hours of preparatory work making and cleaning berries for ASPIRANTS FOR FROE'S JOB ARE DISAPPOINTED Washington, D. C., Apr. 28—The President has no intention of removing Arthur G. Froe, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, and appointing in his stead one of the several men whose names have been presented to him. it was learned at the White House Saturday. Those who have been urged for the position being filled by Mr. Froe include Warner T. McGuinn of Baltimore, who was supported by Representative J. P. Hill, Republican of, Maryland; and William of Chicago; supported by Senator William B. Dickinley; Ernest G. Tilfrid of Evansville, Ind; supported by Senator James E. Watson, Republican of Ind., and Charles Colburn, of Wilmington, supported by Senator T. Coleman du Pont, Republican of Delaware. Has Fine Record Mr. Froe, it is said, has made a very fine recorder and has won the respect of all the people who have had business with his office. He has been instrumental in securing the passage through this session of deeds of a bill to build an iron-proof building for the recorder of deeds' office, which is now housed in cramped quarters in a non-fire-proof rented building. This is but one of his accomplishments since his appointment February 2, 1922. The term of office of Mr. Froe is indefinite. He serves at the pleasure of the President, and as yet there has been no logical reason given to President Coolidge why Mr. Froe should not be continued. (Special Correspondence.)

On Monday night, May 3rd, the local branch of the National Association for the Education of Colored People will set in motion in offensive for 5,000 members. Plans for this drive have been well thought out in advance as the Central Drive Committee has held weekly meetings for the specific purpose of making this campaign a success for over two months. City-Wide Endorsement One feature which should presage success is the unreserved endorsement the association has received from all groups and organizations in every section of the city. On last Monday morning, the Chairman and Secretary of the Central Committee, G. W. C. Brown and M. S. Giddings, respectively, laid the case of the N. A. A. C. P. before the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and the association was passed unanimously. That we hear endorse the N. A. A. C. P. and its objects, and that the latter would cooperate in the present campaign to his uttermost and urge his membership to unite with the association during this drive. Public schools have evinced their interest by sponsoring a teacher from each school for the popularity contest. Quite a furore are in local Elkdom when announcements come from Eureka and Greater Norfolk for the their respective Exalted Rulers, Jerry O. Gilliam and Frank E. Puryear would lock horns for the Branch's prize of fifty dollars. Rumor has it that the indomitable Walter Smith will enter the fray as an independent, while James Frederic Thoregood is slated to represent the business and professional interests. Speculation is still rife as to what ladies will be sponsored by the Board and Daughters of Killen it is conceded that both of these organizations will make formidable contenders. All of the Pythians of the city are lining up behind Eugene West, who is sure to poll a very heavy vote. All told this drive promises to stir things up considerably in Norfolk, and most likely garner five thousand and members into the fold of the N. A. A. C. P.

PRICE 7 CENTS RCH WORK SCARCE IN THE NORTH SAY REPORTS Unsettled Labor Conditions In Big Industrial Centers Is Warning To Southerners Who Plan To Go North. STRIKES AGGRAVATE LABOR SITUATION (Special to Journal and Guide) New York City, April 28—The Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League acting on behalf of local secretaries and advisors throughout the country, calls attention to the scarcity of work in the North. Here and there may be found small cities in which the colored man or woman may find employment, but both the large and small cities to which Negroes have been accustomed to go are plentifully supplied with laborers. Especially is this true of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City, Youngstown, Buffalo, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Newark and Hartford, Conn. The general unsettled labor conditions in the East are aggravated by a unemployment than is usual at this time of year. It is estimated that in New York City alone 250,000 men and women are on strike. To those who are planning to come North at this period of the year when newcomers usually leave their homes in the South, the League advises careful selection in order not to be disappointed in securing work. This suggestion is in view of the number of applicants from the South seeking work above the Mason-Dixon line.

Age is frequently a matter of appearance more than fact, and the work-a day world demands that we defer that appearance as much as possible. By the systematic use of exercise, diets, massages, bleaches, creams, and proper toilet requis- tites, the average woman can ac- complish wonders in her home. She can do many things to improve her personal appearance, her health, her happiness, and her success. There is hardly a woman without some striking possibility about her; her teeth, her hair, her complexion, her figure, her hands, her eyes, etc. Carry this distinction to the point of selecting those clothes, shoes, hose, hats, perfumes, that will typify your peculiar type of personality, or exceptional style or taste. This makes for the exclusive thing.

He had ben married four times and was the father of seventeen children. All of his wives had preceded him to the grave. He was a member of the local Grand Army Post. The last twelve months of his life had been spent in the First Baptist Church Home for the Aged. Frequently visited by his children and grandchildren and surrounded by his old friends of a lifetime, he spent his closing days in quietness and peace. The end came last Friday afternoon. Many ministers and visiting deacons were present in the large gathering of sorrowing friends and relatives at his funeral. The deacons of the church acted as pallbearers. Rev. Richard H. Bowling, his pastor, preached the sermon, using as a text the striking words from Judges, "And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even." Said he, "Such a life is the challenge to his surviving fellowworkers and to youth not to get tired and drop cut in the battle of life. He was faithful and a worker until the very evening of his life. Besides, he invested his life in the institutions and things worth while. He made many sacrifices for an education for himself and his children. He went to great lengths to make friends. He had a fervor and an enthusiasm for things religious that made him an exemplary Christian. There can be but one final issue of such a life, the abundant entrance." The interment was in Calvary cemetery. ST. PAUL C. M. E. CHURCH The Lincoln Highway Automobile Sunday School contest will close on Mothers' Day, Sunday, May 9.

Advice To Girls BY NAOM1 ATTENTION: GIRLS: In this column each week, Naomi will help you with your problems. Questions on conduct, custom, dress, love or any subject that you are interested in will carefully considered and answered. Write your questions in ink on one side of the paper and address them to "Naomi" Care Norfolk Journal and Guide, 711 E. Olney Road. Dear Naomi: I am sure this will be a surprise for you to hear from me, but it should not be as you hear from so many different girls. I am 16 years old and I have three sisters. When they were my age they were receiving young men, so this week, I asked mother if she would mind some of the school boys coming in to see me. She told me she would think of it and let me know by the end of the month. Did I do right to ask her myself or should I have let one of my sisters ask for me as one of them always does whenever I want to do anything? Should a girl let another friend's fellow come to see her if he appears to like her? Do you think it is proper for a girl to correspond with a young man she has never met? Please do not let my letter reach the waste basket as I would love to correspond with you. I hope to see my letter in print soon. Dear little Brunette: Yes, my mail is from different girls in many directions and I am always pleased to get each one and always pray that my answers can really help the girls seeking information. I think you did the right thing to ask your mother yourself and I am sure she will decide what is best. There is no harm in your friend's fellow dropping in to see you once in awhile, but if he is trying to make love to you as well as to her, then, of course you know he is a flirt and not necessarily in love with either. No, I would not call it correct to correspond with a young man you do not know, unless you have had some sort of introduction. Did a friend introduce him through a letter, and you mean you have not seen him? Otherwise, I would ignore his letters. If you haven't seen him or heard anyone say anything about him, how can you tell what manner of man he is. I am a girl of brown complexion, dark brown eyes, my hair is bobbed and I am about 5 1-2 feet tall, weight about 140 pounds. I am not considered good looking. I dress very well and I am neat. I have 17 years and in third year high school. I am in love with a young man four years my senior. He has been my special friend for about three years, and I like him very much. He is very handsome and is a good dancer. He says he loves me, which I believe. All of the girls at his home like him, but whenever I am around he pays no attention to anyone but me. They say he is the same way when I am gone. A few days ago I received a letter from him asking me to marry him and the next day I received a box of candy from him. I cannot answer his question FINE GROWTH OF GOOD SAMARITANS Twenty-seven years ago, the State Grand Lodge I. O. of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita was in a chaotic condition, confidence in the Order having been shattered because of its failure to meet death claims on account of its virtual insolvency. Knowing this, Grand Chief J. W. Thompson recommended that State Lodge No. 6 create an insurance department for the payment of death claims. He was granted the privilege of organizing such a department, which became known as the Benevolent Endowment Association of State Grand Lodge No. 6. The following committees were appointed to help draft plans for the creation of the department: J. M. Clark, chairman; J. H. Blackwell, secretary; E. D. Burton, Maggie L. Walker, G. W. Ransome and others. Board of directors was J. W. Thompson, Grand Chief, president; I. W. Moore, grand secretary; Alexander Epps, grand treasurer; Mrs. M. C. Stewart, grand assistant secretary; Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, Mrs. Maud James, Mrs. Lizzie Radford and R. B. Maxey. The first policy was issued on October 29, 1901 to P. H. Johnson, of Lynchburg; James Ross, of Alxandria, and J. W. Thompson, of Richmond and the first death claim under this new operation paid to Mr. James A Smith on account of the death of his wife, Mary L. Smith. The amount was $12.50. Working in a hotel by day, and a little corner in his home for an office by night, Grand Chief J. W. Thompson, secretary and manager soon began to display high executive ability. By financing at his own expense the getting and selling of badges and turning the profits into the endowment department, thus avoiding using money received for operating expenses being used for any other purpose, success soon loomed in sight for this tireless worker. In 1902 in the managers' report in Lycehburg the foundation work had practically been finished and from then on the way was paved for a bigger and greater department. Mr. Thompson at this meeting, was elected grand secretary of the State Grand Lodge No. 6, and it is of interest to know that this office and the endowment department combined were financed from the sale of regalia. This department is now celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary, just 25 years from the date when Grand Treasurer Alex Epps loaned the department $85.00 to get a charter. The growth has been steady and great and attests a good business administration under the careful guidance of Secretary Thompson. In order to gauge the growth of an organization it is necessary to compare its past with its present, which also enables one to forecast its future. Looking back over and I am calling on you for help. Expecting your answer in the Guide Saturday. Brown Eyes. Dear Brown Eyes: Your friend certainly seems to be in love with you, in that he gives you his undivided attention. But, surely he will wait and let you finish your school work for it would not be wise to stop school to marry.

For instance, in 1903, he as secretary made the wise decision at Harrisonburg not to take part in getting a bank charter for the Order. In 1909 in Warranton, he secured a favorable vote on the proposal to require every member to carry membership in the insurance department. He instituted the movement to purchase the splendid Home of the Order in Richmond; was leader in having the death benefits raised to $100.00 without additional cost to the members at Newport News in 1913. In 1907 he had the Grand Lodge and endowment departments combined. Men, Women and Children Clubbed (Continued from Page One). grew wild. Leaving the burning church it began to make rounds of homes in the colored section, where about 500 families lived. They went from house to house ordering the families to get out of Carteret never to come back. Women and children ran and screamed, fathers begged for mercy but the mob pursued relentlessly. Three hundred of them were led to Woolbridge line by white men and warned to "keep away forever." Some of them had been beaten. Some of them had been clubbed. Every house had been visited and every occupant forced to get up and dress and go.

S. L. A. Event New York, April 29.—Two New negro boys champions will defend their titles and one serious title contender will make a strong bid for honors May 22, at the annual outdoor track and field championships of the Public Schools Athletic League. Gus Moore, the invincible miler of Boys' High, of Brooklyn, and Eric Dawkins, Stuyvesant's flash in the 100 yards, Vincent Ottley, of Textile, together with other contenders will attempt to block Dawkins in his attempt to retain his 1925 title. The contestants for the Herald-Tribune prizes at this meet are expected to far exceed any previous competition. In the high school division alone, eight of the thirteen 1925 champions will be on hand to defend their laurels and make better marks for honors. Moore, in the meet, will be going after his third Herald-Tribune medal for the mile run. He won the outdoor title in 1924, coming from behind on the last lap to nose out the leader. Moore virtually ran away with the race last year and came within three-fifths of a second of Crawford's record of 4:34 1-5. Old Dominion Line Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc.

Moore is in his seventeenth month of undefeated competition and it is believed that there is no other school-boy runner in sight who can bring an end to his long string of brilliant wins. He is figured as a sure thing to repeat in the outdoor meet. Bob Crawford's eight year old, which the Brooklyn youngster record came so near wrecking is on a shaking pedestal and in danger of toppling over when Moore hits the track this year. He has run the mile outdoors in 4:28 1-5 and indoors in 4:31 during the winter and has beaten 4:35 on many tryts, both in and outdoors. Moore is considered unbeatable. BAD EYE,FIGHT IS CALLED OFF BAD EYE,FIGHT IS CALLED OFF New York, April 29.—After all, Harry Greb will not get his return go with Tiger Flowers, middleweight champion, on May 27th, as had been planned. First, Flowers had agreed to give the former champion a return engagement, but Greb had some trouble with his manager, Reddy Mason, that he wished settled before taking on the bout. The matter was taken before the State Athletic Commission for airing, and Harry was assured that his troubles with his manager would be adjusted, in the meantie he could go on with his bout with the champion. Now, news comes from Walk Miller, manager of Flowers, that the champion will be unable to go through with the match due to an injured optic sustained in his bout with Jey Gans, at Wilkes Barre, Pa., April 16th. Miller notified Jess McMahan, Garden matchmaker, that the Tiger would be unable to fulfil a contract to meet Harry Greb. NEDGOURDIN AND THIRD ANNUAL SANDY EVANSTO TENNIS MEET APPEAR ON CARD AT PETETSLURG Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa. April 21—Boyls High School, of Brooklyn, came on top of the heap and won the inter-scholastic rally race at a mile and seven- eighths chiefly because of the briliant and slashing distance ability running of Gus Moore, at the Penn Relays Friday of last week. Moore is considered the master of any lad in the Metropolitan district, especially because he has not been defeated over the mile distance in seventeen months. In this race, Moore on the last leg, was one mile and sixty yards from the opponents, but he beat them to the age by over a half dozen yards in 7:59 3-5. The team was made up of Moore, Milander, Roman and Harris. Gus did 4:27 1-5 for his share of the mile event. NEDGOURDIN AND SANDY EVANSTO APPEAR ON CARD Washington, D. C., April 29.—Ned Gourdin, former world's record holder of the running broad jump, of national and international fame, writes that he is in training and expects to be in fine fete for competition with DeHart Gourdin, the running broad jump and sprint races at the Howard Track Meet on May 8th. In spite of the fact that Gourdin has been in the limelight for a number of years, he is still a young man and capable of turning in some thrilling performances. He will bring a number of athletes from the 372nd Infantry of Boston. These men rank among the best in New England in the middle distance races. Sandy Evans performed with distinction at the Howard Meet in 1924. Since that time, fans in this vicinity have been extremely anxious to see him run again. Sandy is a spectacular performer and among the best in the country at the half mile. The management is putting forth every effort to give Sandy some competition in his specialty. The Washington High Schools are training faithfully to hold the interscholastic championship in the District, while Bowie Normal, Manassas Industrial Institute and Bordenfown will make a strong bid for these honors. PAINE WINS HAINES LOSES PAINE WINS HAINES LOSES Agusta, Ga., April 29—S. C. State College in a two game series, won from Haines, 11-0, and lost to Paine, 9-7. The first days game was featured by the airtight fielding and good batting on part of the State players, while Haines staged a comedy of errors, and a few un- bunched bits. The second day must have found the State boys tired from the pre- ceding day's work for they were unable to keep a lead of 5-0, which they gained against the Paine "Lions," and fell victims of stage fright, turning the game to Paine by a score of 9-7.

These are dark days for the colored belt as the cherished hope of a Wills-Dempsey battle for the heavy weight championship of the world gradually but surely fades out. Even the stanchest and most optimistic of Wills' friends are becoming discouraged and disheartened. They are beginning to believe that theirs is a lost cause and that Harry Wills will totter to the end of his fastic career without ever having a chance to win the highest and most classic honor in pugilism. And to this fact the Lenox Avenue philosophers attach a melancholy significance. They say that the invisible powers which are blocking a meeting between Wills and Dempsey are establishing a precedent which will forever bar a black man from the heavyweight throne. To most of those Harry's own color the situation is mystifying and baffling. They can't understand it. They can't fathom the unseen power which denies Wills the opportunity for which he has waited so long and to which he is so unquestionably entitled. It's all a discouraging mystery to most of them. One of the best known business men in Harlem's colored belt said to this writer: "I think that the manner in which Wills has been mistreated is a disgusting affair. Kipping Dempsey and Wills apart is going more ill feeling between the two races than any contest between them could ever do. I ready to admit now that there is no chance of Wills ever becoming heavyweight champion of the MORTAR Health Talks CHI DELTA MU Alpha Chapter HEALTH COMMITTEE Logan W. Horton, Chairman Edward M. Swift—6 pt A recent contributor to these columns stressed the importance of healthy living as a national asset. Any programme for improving the health of a people cannot well fail to stress the matter of personal cleanliness. *Study and experimentation are combining to prove the theory that most diseases can be directly traced to micro-organisms. Now, micro-organisms are living things, plants and animals, and to live, they must have food. All living things feed on things that have lived, recently or remotely; as Dean Swift said: "So naturalists observe, a flea Hus other fleas that on him prey. And these have others still to bite them." And so proceed, ad infinitum. In any warfare between groups as man against man, or of man against germs, an effective attack on the food supply of the enemy must engage the thought of every worthy general. Destroy that which sustains the life of your enemy, and he, sooner or later, yields to you. Again, in warfare, it is an important matter to locate the rendezvous of the enemy. The organisms as our enemies, attach the skin, live in its folds, and on the hair, and enter our bodies through normal openings, and through abrasions and wounds. The temperature of the body suits them, and the nourishment brought to the tissues, they appropriate to themselves. They sometimes shift to the meshes in our clothing, as if for change of environment. When the great soldier, Naaman the Syrian, went to the prophet for healing, Elisha bade him "Wash and be clean." To you who read these lines, the words of the prophet come with equal force, carrying particular emphasis to the poor who often are dirty because poor, and poor because ignorant of the elementary laws of healthy living. No employer of labor can afford a dirty servant. Such an one is a liability. His dirty clothes are filled with deadly germs which make him a menace to all who come in contact with him. An individual cannot long enjoy health if he goes around for months working in clothes that need washing. world, unless he should manage to win the title in some foreign country as Jack Johnson did. Bad For Racial Feeling "This unfair discrimination against Wills simply because of his color, would not be tolerated in any other country. It is not going to do the sport of boxing or the feeling between the two races any good at all. Suppose this question could be voted upon by the people. I'll wager there would be ten votes to one in favor of permitting the light. "Despite what Chairman Farley has been saying, it is quite obvious that the Boxing Commission will reverse its If&l and desert Wills when it comes to a show-down. Will our team already run out on Harry, after having compelled him to sign to meet Dempsey, and I expect that the other two members of the board will do the same thing. They will drum up some sort of excuse to camouflage their cowardice." "I don't blame Dempsey. I don't think he is afraid of Wills or any other man. I believe that he would go through with the fight if the politicians would let him. It is the politicians who are blocking the match. Some of them may discover later on that they have been playing the wrong game. Dempsey and Wills would have met long before this if the underground word had not come from Alabama and Washington that the fight was not to be permitted. It was this warning that fighted Muldoon into reversing himself. A whole situation is disgusting because it is so obviously foolish. Suppose Dempsey and Wills should meet and Wills was returned the winner. How many fans do you think would shed tears to see Dempsey shorn of his championship? Not many. Every fair-minded sportsman would take the attitude that if Wills is Our bodies must be clean. The skin is covered with tiny holes, the pores. The perspiration, full of waste products, mixes with the particles of dust that fall on the particles of dust that form our bodies. This soon hardens, plugs up the pores, and interacts with normal functioning of the skin. This must be washed off daily, or our enemies, the micro-organisms, will gain a march on us. Had you the eyes of the power of a microscope, you might see the germs laugh with glee as a worker cuts his fingers. They lie around and under his mails, waiting for just suce haceidents, and when they do occur, these enemies enter, find ledgement, multiply, and elaborate their poisons. Not the lady lounge parlor, nor yet the man lounge parlor, and these enemies a manicure, Clean fingers in a workman spell good sense. The face needs constant care to keep away black backs and other damaging agents, if we would "keep that school girl complexion," and "that, skin you love to touch." It still is true that a "face is a fortune," and pretty eyes deserve a pretty oval of healthy skin as a background. And then the mouth and teeth: "Four out of five" of us, are negligent in this particular, and it is shamefully true that a large percentage of our common ailments are traceable to dirty mouths.

Dempsey seemed to have had the slight edge over the colored boxer, and the decision was booed by the fans. a better man than Dempsey let him have the title. If that is the proper attitude then my conception of honest sport and sportsmen is all wrong. Tiger Flowers Popular "A few weeks ago at Madison Square Garden Tiger Flowers, a Negro fighter, won the middleweight championship of the world from Harry Greb, a white man, on a very close decision. Did that cause any trouble? Did you notice any race riots after that affair? "Why I'm told that even the whites down in Georgia, whose bitterness against my race is intense, regarded the Tiger as a conquering hero when he came home with the title. The idea that a Dempsey-Willts bout would be followed by racial disturbances is just plain bunk. As a matter of fact, I think there are a great many white fans who would like to see Dempsey knocked off his perch. And a lot of them think that Wills is the only man who can do it. "If there was anything against Wills' character I could understand the opposition to giving him a chance to become heavyweight champion of the world. There isn't a man in Harlem who leads a cleaner or quieter life than Harry Wills. If he has any vices I don't know what they are. T he early thing they have against Harry is that he is black instead of white."

April 28—Shaw University is making elaborate plans for her first inter-scholastic track meet here Saturday, May 1st. Many high schools of the State have already sent in entry blanks, and a large list is expected to be in by the time of the closing of the registration. There will be gold prizes for first places, silver for second, and bronze for third. Two beautiful silver loving cups will be awarded. One is for the team winning the relay, and the other is for the team scoring the highest number of points in the meet. Much valuable material was discovered in a track meet held by Shaw for the members of the Older Boys' Conference which met in Raleigh, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A special feature of the quarter mile run will be staged. This event promises to be one of the best attractions of the meet.

This photoplay, according to all accounts, surpasses anything beforeforeseen on the screen. This extraordinary picture has upset the equilibrium of the critics in every city in which it has been presented. It is the crescendo photoplay. It is a fantastical story of love and adventure in a fantasy abounding with amazing happenings, and what critics generally have called unbelievable wonders. If you still believe in love, if adventure still stirs you, you like your heart to miss beats in cestial moments of exciting suspense, if you enjoy the surprise of seeing things that beforeforeseen you thought were impossible—here in "The Thief of Bagdad" are all these things, in the background of beauty and splendor. In this picture, a Winged Horse flies on a carpet Carpet sours over the houses to and into the sky; wonder after wonder, surprise after surprise are depicted in amazing shades and colors. To depict such happenings on the carpet has been possible. This crowning achievement has been accomplished by Douglas Fairbanks. It has received the highest endorsements that any picture has ever received. In this particular, it will be well to repeat what Robert L. Sherwood wrote in his departure in "The Silent Drama," in "Life," April 3, 1924. After seeing "Thief of Bagdad," I am more competent to understand the motives which inspired the sturdy Britons who have been struggling for years to reach the peak of Mr. Everest. I know now what it means to be able to say, "Well, I've been to the top." Standing at the night's mark, the entertainments which Douglas Fairbanks has fashioned, I can look down to the lesser summers of "Robin Hood," "Broken Blossom," "Passion," and the rest, several miles below, and barely discernible from this dizzy altitude, where "Is My Wandering Boy Tonight," "Rags to Riches," and "The Old Nest." There may well be higher peaks than that achieved by "The Thief of Bagdad," but if there are, they have not as yet been chartered on any of the existant contour maps." ter.

May, 1926, marks the second mile stone of our beloved pastor, Dr. O. J. Allen. The members of the church, including each auxiliary are ready to halt to give this worthy man praise. When we think of how well he has wrought in these two years, we say: "Truly there is dignity in man." He has been very careful to leave nothing undone. He has nourished the child life of the church, always had time to spend with the child, visited the sick, and helped those in distress. The spiritual side of the church has certainly given over three hundred persons have joined the church in the last twelve months. The business side of the church has been wonderful, this tells us that our pastor is a financier. His instructions in the church office have been greatly appreciated by the secretary. During 1925 over $15,000 was raised through the general fund, over $2,000 for education and missions. The great Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Convention was entertained in September, 1925, at a cost of over $1,000. Improvements made in 1925 cost $1,400, along with this we have a monthly expense average of $900.00 per month. In our first regular business church meeting in 1926 the financial report was read with no unpaid bills for 1925. Had it not been for this great leader, Dr. Allen, and his co-laborers, the trustees, this wonderful achievement could not have been accomplished. There are many qualities Dr. Allen possess that have made him dear to our hearts, the foundation of them all, is his appreciativeness. The coming of Dr. Allen, and his family, Mrs. Ella M. Allen, his wife, Misses Hattie E. and Mary B., his daughters, and Lionel, his son has found favor in our sight. LONG LIVE THESE GOOD PEOPLE! The services will start May 2nd and run through May 17th.

Berry Preaches Two Masterly Sermons On Initial Appearance As Pastor Here. A large and expectant crowd assembled in St. John's A. M. E. Church Sunday morning to greet the Rev. Dr. L. L. Berry, the new pastor, in his initial sermon as leader of that congregation. Dr. Berry's reputation as a profound and eloquent preacher is well known in the crowd that went to hear him Sunday morning went expecting to hear him at his best. It was not disappointed, in fact it got more than was expected. Dr. Berry seemed to sense the tense expectancy that permeated the audience, and masterly did he meet the exigencies of the occasion. Perfectly at case, in complete control of the situation, he preached a sermon that those who heard it will not soon forget. "Who Is Thy Brother, Abel," Gen. 4, was the main text: "What the Night," he used as a sub-text, and from these passages of scripture the minister expounded the Gospel in a way that swayed his auditors, gripped them into the power of his eloquence and thrilled them with spiritual inspiration. Asking the question, "Who Is Thy Brother Abel," Dr. Berry told the audience that not only in the pows of the church, but in the ghetto; in the alleys and in the by-ways of the slums, would be found their brother Abel, and exhorted them as Christians to go seek and find Abel and draw him out. Asking, "Watchman, What of the Night?" the preached expanded this question to apply to the family relations. He asked the fathers how were they providing for their homes, the mothers how were they guiding and guarding their children? At night, Dr. Berry returned to the rostrum and preached another uplifting sermon. This time he warned against drifting aimlessly through life and urged his hearers to mean something, stand for something, have an ideal to attain for the glory of God. He exhorted them to a greater Christian fellowship, to unity of purpose in the advancement of the Cause. Both sermons were widely commented on as masterpieces by those who heard them. Death Claims the Oldest Member of First U. P. Church Not since the death of Mrs. Phelena Mossley, founder of the Phelena Mission Sunday School in Cleveland street, has the First United Presbyterian Church been so grief stricken and bereaved as in the death of Miss Annie Williams, its oldest and must beloved member. Her death occurred on Friday morning, April 23rd. Present at the bedside was her sister, Miss Martha Lomax, of richmond; Miss Rachel Robinson, Mrs. D. F. White and other friends. The funeral services were held, Monday, April 26th in the First United Presbyterian Church, of which she had been a faithful member for more than thirty years. The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. D. F. White his sermon, which was a touching tribute to and recital of the life and character of the deceased, was based on Matt. 25:23. "Well done good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make the ruler over many things: enter thou into the joys of thy lord." Following the sermon the Island sings, "My Task." The ritualistic sang: Baltimore Union of Jerusalem, Queen Esther Court, and the White Rose Court. The former Norfolk Mission College Alumni Association also paid a very touching tribute through a paper lamenting her passing. The choir sang three of her favorite selections during the service. The floral tribute was beautiful and ample. Interment took place at Calvary Cemetery. Members of the immediate family present were her sister, Miss Martha Lomax, of Richmond, Vn., and her cousin, Mrs. Ruth P. Gray of Washington, D. C. "UNITY OF RACE AND **STAY IN THE SOUTH** Rev. J.

JACOBS SAY FAREWELL TOCITY Former Associate Pastor of First Baptist Church Preaches Closing Sermon of His Pastorate In Norfolk. Before an unusually large crowd Rev. F. W. W. Jacobs delivered his farewell message to Norfolk at the First Baptist Church last Sunday morning. So dense was the throng that chairs were used in the aisles, people were riding around the walls and children were sitting on the steps leading from the entrance to the galleries. Even at that, many could not gain admittance. To put it mildly, the crowd was not disappointed. Rev. Mr. Jacobs preached one of the ablest farewell sermons ever heard in Norfolk. Using as a text II Cor. 13:11, "Finally, brethren, farewell," he paid glowing tributes to the officials and members of the church with whom he had worked for the past six years and a half, to his fellow ministers of all faiths and to the leaders in the many welfare movements in the city. Stirring Message There were but few dry eyes in the house when at the close of his message he painted a beautiful picture of how the saints in Christ would still be joined in spirit though separated in body. Following his sermon the congregation joined in singing, "Though sundered far, by faith they meet, around one common mercy seat." Immediately the popular young preacher was besieged by his many Friends and admirers, shaking his hand and speaking to him their personal words of farewell. Testimonial Service On Monday night another large audience assembled in the main auditorium of the church in a good-will memento testimonial meeting. This meeting arranged and financed by the leaders of the various boards, departments and auxiliaries of the church was presided over by Deacon C. J. Watkins. Very feeling and appropriate addresses were made by Deacon I. W. H. Guy on behalf of the official boards, Mr. G. L. Taylor on behalf of the Workers Council, Miss Mayson S. R.yland representing the paid social Agencies, Dh. A. S. Hoard for the Baptist Ministers Conference and Rev. Richard H. Bowling for the church. Resolutions were read from the Baptist Conference by Rev. R. C. Noble and from the Interdenominational Alliance by Rev. T. D. Lee. Presentations were made by Mrs. L. R. Hinton for the Home Department for the Sunday School and for the auxiliaries of the church by Deacon J. J. Parker. Messrs. T. L. Palmer and Lawrence Harrison sang solos. Rev. and Mrs. Jacobs both made brief addresses of appreciation. Farewell Reception The entire audience then formed Christ Is Here!

Mr. Jacobs was made to know just how dearly beloved he and his charming wife had been by the many hundred of members and friends of the First Baptist Church of Sainte Anne and the many tributes paid his departing associate in the pastorate for the last six years. Rev. Richard H. Bowling, the pastor, declared, "Rev. F. W. Jacobs is a fine example of how a person ought to resign a position.

She would have beaten to learn High Prairie, inexplicably knew all about her from the of the ribbon that threaded neat little white corset covers the number of books on her shelf. she thought cabbage fields beautiful; she read books to that dumbing her dress for Maartje after the arm of the stylish brown lady she wore (foolishly) to school. On her fifth Sunday in the district accompanied her to the Dutch Reef church at the Dutch Reef church. Maartje sedid him and time for such frivolity. But on the morning Klaime hitched up the farm wagon with the double and took the family complete—Maartje, Salina, Roelf and the pig. Roelf had rebelled against, had been cuffed for it, and sat very still all through the service, gazing at the red and yellow church window. Mallin's appearance had made her a subject of which she was entireware. As the congregation laid by twos and threes she nightly resembled startlingly product in an old illustrated book once had seen. The men's Sunnies were angular, as though chopped of a block. The women, in braids and bonnets of rusty black, are incredibly cut in the same pattern. The unmarried girls, though, pimp, red-checked, and not lonely, with high round checkes on which sat a spot of brick, which imparted no glow to the. Their foreheads were prominent in the midst of this drab assent there entered late and rushed a tall, slow-moving woman a city-bought cloak and a bonnet unlike the vintage millinery of Irish Prairie. An ample woman, a fine skin and a ripe red skin, a high firm bosom and great ears that moved rhythmically. She had thick, insolent cye. Her hands, as she turned the names of her hymn book, were tooth and white. As she entered there was a little rattle throughout her congregation; a craning of rocks. "Who's that?" whispered Sellina to Marilyn. "Windy Paarlengen. She is rich anything." "Tre? Sellina was fascinated. Look once how she makes eyes him." At him? Who? Who?" **Who?** Perrus Delong. By Gerrit Pon is sitting with the blue shirt and looking so." Lilian craned, peered. "The oh— is very good looking, isn't he?" Sure. Waupian Pawlernet is kick on him. See how she—she— Reverend Dekker looks at you, you after." She decided she'd come to teach尔尔. The service went full, heavy. It was in English and Dutch. She heard scrawled a lot of it. The Widow Pawlernet and this Perrus Delong occupied thoughts. She decided to notice: that the widow resembled of the sleekest of the pink pork roast in Klaus Poon's burnt waiting to be cut into "christ meat." The service ended, there was talk of the weather, seedlings, the approaching holiday season. Marina her Sunday dinner on her bed, was elbowing up the wall. Here and there introduced Selina brightly to a human friend. "Mrs. Vander Sljde, school teacher." Belle's mother? Selinn would prinkle, only, to be swept Marjette on her way to the "Mrs. Von Mijnen, meet school teacher, Is Mrs. Von Mijnen," she regarded her with a grim gaze. She would smile and nod rather proudly, feeling young, frivolous, and somehow guiltier. When with Mantje, she reached for church perch Perus Delong unniching the, dejected horse that was harmed to his battered foot, lopsided cart. The animal had with four feet beaten together in a drooping and patheticINCLUDED and seemed inevitably useful for mating with his decapitated vehicle? DeJong unified the 'rels quickly, and was about to step into the sagging conveyance when the Widow Paarlengen sailed down the church steps with admirable speed for one so amply proportioned. She made straight for him, skirts bellow, floonies flying, plumes waving. Maartje clutched Sellina's arm. She asks him to eat Sunday dinner. I beowulf See once how he makes with his head no." Selina—and the whole congregation unmashed watching—could indeed see how he made with his head no. His whole body seemed set in negation—the fine head, the broad patient shoulders, the muscular powerful legs in their ill-fitting Sunday blacks. He shook his head, gathered up the reins, and drove away, leaving the Widow Paulette, who was with each bangle as she could muster this public flouting in full sight of the Dutch Reformed congregation of High Prairie. It must be said that she actually achieved this feat with a rather magnificent composure. Her round, plink face, as she turned away, was placid; her great covilek eyes mild. She stepped agilely into her own neth pheasant with its sleek horse and was off down the hard snowless road, her head high. "Well!" exclaimed Selina, feeling as though she had witnessed the first act of an exuberant play. And she was. So she, too, was watching congregation, so that the widow could be said to have driven off in a gust. As they jogged home in the Pool farm wagon Mantje told her tale with a good deal of savor. Pervus DeFolong had been left a widower two years before. Within a month of that time Leendert P翰berg had died, leaving to his widow the richest and most profitable farm in the whole community. Pervus DeFolong, on the contrary, through inheritance from his father, old Johannes, possessed a scant twenty-five acres of the worst lowlands—practically the only lowland —in all high Prairie. The increase was notoriously barren. Perus Dew-Jong patiently sowed, sowed, gathered crops, hauled them to market; seemed still never to get on in this thrifty Dutch community where getting on was so common a trait as to be no longer thought a virtue. Luck and nature seemed to work against him. His seedlings proved unfeffable; his stock was always niling; his cabbages were worm-infested; snout-heart boxed his rhubarb. When he planted largely of spinach, hoping for the sweetness of beans. Did he turn the following year to sweet potatoes, all anguins painting to a dry spring and summer, the summer proved the wettest in a decade. Had he been small, piny and insignificant his bad luck would have called fertile contemptuous pity. But there was about him the lovability and splendor of the stricken giant. It was on this Perus Doelong, then, that the Widow Pärsenberg of the rich acres, the comfortable farmhouse, the gold neck chain, the silk gowns, the soft white hands and the cooking talents, had set her affections. She wooded, him openly, notoriously, and with a Dutch heemence that would have swept another man off his feet. It was known that she sent him a weekly bake of cakes, pies and bread. She tricked, cooled, or nugged him into eating her ample meals. She asked his advice—that she formed form of an owl. She asked him about soiling, humus, rotation—she whose hard land yielded, under her shrewd management, more profitably to the single acre than to any ten of Perus. Feeling that the entire community was urging him toward this profitable match with the plump, rich, red-lipped widow. Percus set his will like a stubborn sleer and would have none of her. He was uncomfortably in his house. He was lonely, but was unhappy. But he had none of her. Vauty, pride, resentment were all mixed up in it. The very first time that Pervus Delong met Selina he had a chance to protect her. With such a start, the end was inevitable. Then, too, Selina had on the wine-colored cashmere and was trying hard to keep the tears back in full view of the whole of High Prairie. Urged by Maartje (and rather fancying idea) Selina had atterture great meeting with Adam Oons the general store near the High Prairie station. Farmer families for miles around were there. The new church-organ—that time-hallowed pretext for sociability—was the excuse for this gathering. There was a small admission charge, Adam Oons had given them the hall. The three musicians were playing without fee. The women were to bring supper place in the baskets, to be filled off to the bidders whose privilege it then was to cup with the fair whose basker he had bought. Hot coffee could be had at so much the cup. All the proceeds were to be devoted to the organ. Maartje had packed her own basket at noon and had driven off at four with Klasn and the children. She was to serve one of those baskets filling committees whose duties included from coffee making to washing. Klasn and Roel were to be pressed into service. Jakob Hoengdunk would serve Selina to the festivities when His chores were done. Solinna's lunch basket was to be a separate and distinct affair, offered at auction with those of the Katrinas and Linas and Sophias of High Prairie. Not a little apprehensive, she was to pack this basket herself. Marjart, departing had left copious but disjointed instructions. Marjart's own basket was of gigantic proportions and stazinger content. Her sandwiches were culcible blocks; her pickles盒 of cucumber; her pies vast plateaus. The basket provided for Sellona, while not quite so large, still was of appalling size as Sellona contemplated it. She decided, suddenly, that she would have none of it. In her trunk she had a cardboard box such as shoes come in. Certainly this should hold enough lunch for two, she thought. She was a little nervous about the whole thing; rather dreaded the prospect of eating her supper in a high-pressure setting down to her. Suppose no one should bid for her box! She resolved to till it after her own pattern, disregarding Maartje's heavy provender. She had the kitchen to herself. Jakob was in the fields or outhouses. The house was deliciously quiet. Selina rummaged for the shee box, lined it with a sheet of tissue paper, rolled up her sleeves, got out mixing bowl, flour, pans. Cup cakes were her ambition. She baked six of them. They came out a beautiful brown but somewhat leaden. Still, anything was better than a wedge of soggy plo, she told herself. She billed eggs very hard, halved them, devied their yolks, filled the whites neatly with this mixture and clapped them with a gather again, skewering them with a toothpick. She rolled each a tissue in tissue paper twisted at the ends. Pointiness, she had decided, should be the keynote of her supper box. The food neatly packed she wrapped the box in paper and tied it with a gay ribbon yielded by her trunk. At the last moment she whipped into the yard, twisted a brush of evergreen from the tree at the side of the house, and tucked this into the knot of ribbon atop the box. She stepped back and thought the effect enchanting. She was waiting in her red cashmere and her cloak and hood when Hoogdunk called for her. They were late arrivals. Sellina, balancing her box carefully, opened the door that led to the wooden suirway. The hall was on the second floor. The door that struck her cars and she was hitched an moment, and if there had been any means of returning to the Pool farm, short of walking five miles in the snow, she would have taken it. Up the stairs and into the dln. Eri- AGNEDY. "What Am I Ibid? Thirty Centa Shame on You. Gentlemen!" "What Am I Ibid! Thirty Cental Shame on You, Gentlemen!" dently the auctioning of supper baskets was even now in progress. The auctioneer was Adam Ooans who himself had once been the High Prairie school teacher. A for-faced little man, bald, falsetto, the village clown with a solid foundation of shrewdness under his clowning and a tart layer of universe over it. The auctioneer spoke in voice: "What am I bid! What am I bid! Thirty cents! Thirty-five! Shane on you, gentlemen. What am I bid! Whil'我 make it forty!" Selina felt a little thrill of excitement. She looked about for a place on which to lay her wraps, esplied a box that appeared empty, rolled her chair, muffler, and hood into a neat bundle and about to cast it into the box, saw, apurred to her from its depths, the round pink faces of the sleeping Kuyper twins, aged six months. Oh, dear! In deseration Sella placed her hundle on the door in a corner, smoothed down the red cashmere, smatched on her lunch box and made for the doorway with childish eagerness of one out of the crowd to be in it. She wondered where Murray's Pool was located, a roomed Rock. In the doorway she found that blackened backs shut off sight and ingress. She had written her name neatly on her lunch box. Now she was at a loss to find a way to reach Adam Goms. She eyed the great-shouldered expense just ahead of her. In deseration she decided to dig into it with a corner of her box. She dug, victorious. The back winced. Its owner turned. "Here! What—" Sella looked up into the wrathful face of her mother, Verva Dense looked down into the startled eyes of Sella Peake. Large enough eyes at any time; enormous now in her fright at what she had done. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I thought if I could—there's no way of getting my lunch box up there—such a crowd—" A slim, appealing lovely little figure in the wine-red cashmere, amidst all those boxom bosoms, and over-handed bodies, and finished faces. His gaze left her reluctantly, settled on the lunch box, because, if possible,够 bewildered. "That? Launch box?" "Yes. For the rattle. I'm the school teacher, Sellin Peake." NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE He nodded. "I saw you in church Sunday." "You did! I didn't think you. . . ." Did you? "Wait here. I'll come back. Walk here." He took the shoe box. She waited. He plowed his way through the crowd like a Juggernaut, renched Adam Oom's platform and placed the box inconspicuously next a colosseum hamper that was one of a dozen grouped, awaiting Adam's attention. When he had made his way back to Selina he again said, "Walt," and plunged down the wooden stairway. Selina waited. He had caused to feel distressed at her inability to find the Pools in the crowd, a tipple though she was. When presently he came back he had in his hand an empty wooden soup box. This he up-ended in the doorway and bind the crowd of others there Selina mounted it; she held a little above the level of his. She laid survey the room from end to end. There were the Pools. She waved to Marjie; smiled at Roof. He made as though to come toward her; did come part way, and was restrained by Maartjo catching at his coat full. Adam Ooms' gavel (a_wooden potato masher) crushed for silence. "Ladies!" (Crust) "And gents!" "Ladies!" (Crust) "Look what basket we got here!" Look indeed. A great hamper, grown so plethora that it could no longer wear its cover. Its contents bellied into a mound smoothly covered with a fine white cloth whose gistening surface proclaimed it damask. A Himmlin among hammers. You knew that under that snow crust lay gold that was fowl done crisply, succulent; emeralds in the form of ghekins; rubles that melted into strawberry preserves; cakes frosted like diamonds; to say nothing of such semi-precious jewels as potato salad; cheeses cream to bread and butter; coffee cakes; crutlers. crash! "The Widow Paarlenger's basket, indies—and gens; The Widow Paarlenger. I don't know what's in it. You don't know what's in it. Who has eaten Widow Paarlenger's chicken once don't have to know. Who has eaten Widow Paarlenger's cake once don't have to know. What am I bib on Widow Paarlenger's basket? What am I bib! What bibdwhatibdwhatibdwhatibd!" (Crash): The widow herself, very handsome in black silk, her gold neck chain rising and falling richly with the little flurry that now nagitated her broad bosom, was seated in a chair against the wall not five feet from the auctioneer's stand. She gazed down her eyes, gaze up her eyes, succeeded in looking as unconscious as a compliant Turkish slave girl on the block. Adam Ono's glance swept the ball until it reached the tall figure towering in the doorway—reached it, and rested there. His glimlet eyes seemed to hore their way into Pervus Delong's steady store. He raised his right arm aloft, braising the potion masher. The whole room fixed its gaze on the blood on his face—"Sweet, young men of High Prairie!" Heh, yon, "Pervus Delong!" Whatmidhidmhidwhambildt!" Heh, yon, "Pervus Delong!" Whatmidhidmhidwhambildt!" "Fifty cents!" The bid came from Gerrit Pon at the other end of the hall. A dashing offer, as a start, in his district where one dollar often represented the profits on a whole load of market truck brought to the city. Crash! went the potato masher. "Fifty cents I'm bid. Who'll make it seventy-five?" Who'll make it seventy-five? "Sixty" Johannes Amboul, a widower, his age more than the sum of his bid. "Seventy" Gerrit Pon. Adam Oons whispered it—hissed it. "S-seventy." Ladies and gents, I wouldn't repeat out loud such finger. I would be ashamed. Look at this basket, gents, and then you can say . . . s-seventy!" "Seventy-five!" the cautious Amboul. Searle, flooding her face, belled the widow's outward air of composure. Pervus DeJong, standing beside Selina, viewed the proceedings with an air of detachment. High Prairie was looking at him expectantly, openly. The widow hit her red lip, tossed her head. Pervus DeJong returned the auctioneer's meaning snark with the mild gaze of a disinterested Gentleman. Adam Gorme" voice took on a tearful note—the tone of one who is more hurt than anger, "Gentle" Slowly, with infinite reverence, he lifted one corner of the damask cloth that concealed the hamper's contents—lifted it and peered within as at a treasure. At what he saw there he started back dramatically, at once ruptured, deparsing, unmasked. He lifted his lips. His rubbed his stammm. The sort of dumb show that, since the days of the Greek drama, has been used to denote gastronomic delight. "Eighty!" was wrenched suddenly from Goris Von Vuuren, the nineteen-year-old fat and gluttonous son of a prosperous New Haven farmer. Adam Ooms rubbed brisk palms together. "Now then!" A dollar. A dollar! "It's an insult to this basket to make it less than a dollar." He leaned forward over his improvised pulpit. "Did I hear you say a dollar, Dervel DeJong? DeJong stared, innovable, unmashed, Eighty-eighty-eighty-gents! Gents. Listen. It isn't chicken in this beautiful basket. It isn't chicken. It's"—a dramatic pause—"it's a dramatic pause!" He swaged back, mopped his brow with his red handkerchief, held one hand high in the air. His last card. "Browned the fat Goris Von Vuuren." "Eighty-five! Eighty-five! Eighty-five! freebeyweight fiveeighty fiveeighty Gents! Gen-tie-men! Eighty-five once! Eighty-five—twice!" (Crabs) "Gone to Goris Von Vuuren for eighty-five." A sigh went up from the assemblage; a sigh that was the wind before the storm. There followed a tornado of talk. It crackled and thundered. The rich Widow Pau-lenberg would have to eat her supper in the barn. And the great thick Goris. And there in the doorway, talking to teacher as if they had known each other for years, was Pervus Dejong with his "Seventy." Gerrit Pon. money in his pocket. It was good us a play. Adam Ooms was angry. His lean, fox-like face became pinched with spite. He prided himself on his ants as auctioneer; and his chef even eighty-five cents, besides doubtless winning him the empathy of that profitable store customer, the Widow Paarlenberg. Goris Von Vuren came forward to claim his prize amist shouting, clapping, laughter. The great hamper was handed down to him. Adam Ooms seemed to among at his feet. His nostrils looked plucked and his skinny hands shook a little as he searched for a small object. When he stood upright once more he was smiling. His little eyes gleamed. His wooden scaper pounded for silence. High in one hand, balanced dignity on his finger tips, he held Selina's little white shoe box, with its red ribbon binding it, and the plume of evergreen stuck in the ribbon. Affecting great solicitude he brought it down then to read the name written on it; held it soft again, smiling. He said nothing. Grinning, he held it high. He turned his body at the wrist from side to side, so that all night might. The eyes of those before him still held on, the large hamper, fondled that had just been handed down. The contrast was too absurd, too cruel. A ripple of laughter swept the room; rose; swelled to a roar. Adam Ooms waited with a nice sense of the dramatic until the laughter had reached its height, then held up a hand for silence. A great scraping "Alam!" as he cleared his throat threatened to send the crowd off again. "Tadies—and genius!" Here's a dalty little tibbit. Here's something not only for the finer man, but a feast for the eye. Well, boys, if the last lot was too much for you, this lot ought to be just about right. If the food isn't good enough for you, the ribbon in the lady's hair and put the posy in your buttonhole, and there you are. There you are! What's more, the lady herself goes with it. You don't get a country girl with this here box, gents. A city girl, you can tell by looking at it, just. And who is she? Who did up this dalty little box just big enough for two?" He inspected it again, thought, "If you can't feel specially hungry. Who?—" He looked about, angrily. Sellina's cheeks matched her gown. Her eyes were wide and dark with the effort she was making to force back the hot haze threatening them. Why had she come to this party? Why had she come to this bideous party? Why had she come to High Prairie? Why! "Miss Solina Penke, that's who, Miss Soil-nn Peake" A hundred balloon faces pulled by a single cord turned toward her as she stood there on the box for all to see. They swam toward her. She put up a hand to push them back. "What'm I bid! What'm I bid! What'm I bid for this lovely little toothful, gents! Start hen up!" "Five cents!" piped up old Johannes Ambul, with a snicker. The rittering crowd broke into a gaffer. Selina was conscious of a little slick feeling at the pit of her stomach. Through the haze she saw the widow's face, no longer sulky, but smiling now. She saw Roeffels'd dark head. He was coming toward her or trying to, but the crowd wedged him in, small as he was, among those great bodies. She lost sight of him. How hot it it was? hot hot. . . . An arm at her waist. Someone had mounted the little box and stood teetering there beside her, pressing against her slightly, reassuringly. Perus DeJong. Her head was on a level with the doorway, on the soap box, for all High School. I am bid for this lovely little mouthful put up with the school teacher's own fair hands. Five cents! Five—" "One dollar!" Perus Dejong. The balloon faces were suddenly punctured with holes. High Prairie's jaw dropped with astonishment. Its mouth stood open. There was nothing plain about Selina now. Her dark head was held high, and his fair one beside it made a vivid foil. The purse of the wine-colored cosmetics at last justified. He old Johannes Ambul, his rheumy eyes on Selina, Art and human spitefulness struggled visibly for mastery in Adam Ounas' face—and art won. The auctioneer triumphed over the man. The term "crowd psychology" was unknown to him, but he was artist enough to sense that some curious magic process, working through this roomful of people had transformed the little box, from a thing depicted and ridiculed, to value of infinite destiny. He now eyed it in a catalogue of adoration. "One ten I'm bid for this box all tied with a ribbon to match the gown of the girl who brought it. Gents, you get the ribbon, the lunch, and the girl. And only one onebill for all that. Gents! Gents! Remember, it ain't only a lunch—it's a picture. It pleases the eye, Do I hear one—" "Five blits!" Barend Helton of Low Prairie, in the lists. A strapping young Dutchman, the Brawn Bones of the district. He drove on the Haymarket with his lion of produce and play cards all night on the wagon under the gas torches the street girls of the neighborhood assailed him in vain. Six feet three, his red face now shone like a harvest moon above the crowd. A merry, mischievous eye that laughed at Peruvius Delong and his dollar bid. "Dollar and a haff" A high, clear voice—a boy's voice. Roelf. "Oh, not!" said Selina aloud. But she was unheard in the gubbai. Roelf had once confided to her that he had saved three dollars and fifty cents in the last three years. Five dollars would purchase a set of tools that his mind had been fixed on for months past. Selina saw Klaas Poel's look of astonishment changing to anger. Saw Maartje Foot's quick hand on his arm, restraining him. "Two dollars!" Percus DeJong. "Johnnes Ambulant's cautious bid." "Two and a quarter." Barend DeRoo. "Two: fifty!" Pervus DeJong "Three dollars!" The high voice of the boy. It cracked a little on the last syllable, and the crowd laughed. "Three--three--three--three--three-- three--three. Three once--" "And a half." DeJong. "Three sixty." "Four!" DeRoo. "And ten." The boy's voice was heard no more. "I wish they'd stop," whispered Solinn. "Five!" Pervus Dejong. "Six!" DeJoo, his face very red. "And ten." "Seven!" "It's only jelly sandwiches," said Sellina to DeJong, in a panic. "Eight!" Johannes Ambul, gone and. "Nine1" DeRoo. "Nine! Nine I'm bld! Nine- nine-nine! Who makes it—" "Let him have it. The cup cakes fell a little. Don't—" "Ten-ten-ten. Do I hear elevent? Do I hear ten-fifty? Ten-ten-ten tententententententent! Gents! Ten once. Ten twice! Gone-for ten MONEY "Goneal—for Ten Dollars to Porvue DeJong." "Gone—for Ten Dollars to Pervue DeJong." Dollars to Pervus DeJong. And a bargain. Adam Nance mopped his bald head and his cheeks and the damp spot under his chin. Ten dollars. Adam Owens knew, as did all the countryside, this was not the sum of ten dollars merely. No basket of food, though it contained nightingales' tongues, the golden apple of Atlantan, wines of rare vintage, could have been adequate compensation for these ten dollars. They represented sweet and blood; toll and hardship; hours under the burning prairie sun at midday; work doggedly carried on through the drenching sheen of spring; gliding across the vastness, sleek on an hour at a time under the sky in the Chicago market place; miles of weary travel between High Prairie and Chicago, now up to the hubs in mud, now blinded by dust and blowing sand. A sale at Christie's, with a miniature going for a million, could not have met with a deeper bush, a more dramatic bubble following the bush. They are their lunch together in one corner of Adam Jones' hall. Sallina opened the box and took out the apples that had fallen a little, and the apples, and the sandwiches sliced very, very thin. The coldly ap- praising eye of all Hugh Pride, Low Pratie, and New Harlem watched this sparse provender emerge from the ribbon-tied shoe box. She offered him a sandwich. It looked infinitesimal in his great pow. Suddenly all Sellin's agony of embarrassment was swept away, and she was lingered joyously and gliblyly. She sank her little white teeth into one of the absurd sandwiches and looked at him, expecting to find him laughing, too. But he wasn't laughing. He looked very earnest, and his blu eyes were fixed hard on the bit of bread in his hand, and his face was very red and clean-shaven. He bit into the sandwich and chewed it solemnly. And Selina thought: "Why did he bring a bit dear thing?" And he might have been eating breast of duck. . . . Ten dollars." Aloud she said, "What made you do it?" He seemed not to hear her; he briminately into one of the cup cakes. Suddenly: "I can't hardly write at all, only to sign my name and like that." "Head!" "Sorry to spell out the words. Anyways I don't get time for reading. But figuring I wish I knew. Rithemetic. I can finger some, but those fellows in Haymarket they are too sharp for me. They do num- bers in their head—like that, so quick." Sellina leaned toward him. "Till teach you." "How do you mean, teach me?" "Evenings." He looked down at his great caloused palms, then up at her. "What would you take for pay?" "Fay! I don't want any pay." She was genuinely shocked. "His face lighted up with a sudden thought. 'Tell you what. I could start, for you the fire, mornings. in the school. And thaw the pump and bring in a pail of water. This month, and January, and February and part of March, and April, and May, and June, and winery. I could start you the fire. Till spring. And I could come may be three times a week, evenings, to Pool's place, for lessons." He Southern Aid Society Reveals Secrets of Its Marvelous Success GEORGIA SCHOOL CONDITIONS ARE TOLD TO WORLD White Women Voters Feature Article Frankly Facing Facts Concerning Educational Conditions In State. Atlanta, Ga., April—The Pilgrim, official organ of the Georgia League of Women Volunteers, started its readers this month by a first column, front page expose of the discrimination against Negroes widely prevalent in the educational system of this state. Having reviewed the background of Negro education in Georgia and the remarkable educational progress of the race since the Civil War, the article turns to present conditions and sets out frankly fact as causes of the discrimination, a赘提ion for teachers' salaries averaging $17.93 for each white child of school age and $2.58 for each colored child. Value of public school buildings is shown to be per child, white $58.72; colored $10.02; expenditures for new buildings per child, white $2.84, colored 27 cents; expenditures for equipment per child, white 40 cents, colored 3 cents. It is pointed out that many counties use for white schools state school funds appropriated by the state of the colored school population, the aggregate so diverted running to more than $600,000 a year. For college education, according to the article, the state appropriates to white schools $29,700 and to colored schools only $32,500. The article was prepared by R. B. Ecazer, Educational Director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, and has been put into pamphlet form for wide distribution over the state, as conspicuous evidence of a joint effort great importance, representing the most intelligent and influential white women of Georgia, is considered significant. D. C. BATHING BEACH BILL IS PASSED D. C. BATHING BEACH BILL IS PASSED Senator Royal S. Copeland Offers Amendment Providing That Facilities Be Separate. Washington, D.C., April 27—The bill providing for the establishment of separate hathing beaches or pools for white and colored per- sonage in the District of Columbia which was introduced by Represen- tative Frederick N. Zihlman, Republican, of Maryland, was passed by the Senate last Thursday. At the instance of Senator Lee S. Overman, Democrat, of North Carolina, Senator Royal S. Copeland, a Democrat, of New York, offered an amendment which will restrict the use of one of these benches or pools to white persons and the other to colored persons. The amendment was agreed to and the bill was passed. The bill as it passed the House simply provided for the establishment of two artificial bathing beaches or pools at a total cost not to exceed $345,000. There was no language in the bill requiring that the pools be separate. It was understood, however, that one pool would be used by white persons and the other by colored persons. It is planned to let the commissioner of the District of Columbia decide the separation of the races in the use of the pools. Senator Overman objected to this arrangement, and in order to have the bill passed Senator Copeland offered the amendment which was agreed to. WINDSOR Windsor, N. C.—The members and friends of A. M.

The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc. reveals in the celebration of Policyholders' Appreciation Week, as noted in its ad' on another page in this issue, another one of the reasons why it enjoys high public favor, and is so very successful in its line of endeavor. The reader will note that the officers, board and field staff are planning to celebrate next week, the payment to its policyholders during the winter and early spring, the huge sum of $200,000.00. This is by far the largest sum ever paid out for Sickness, Accident and Death Claims by the Society during any similar period. That of itself is a wonderful feat. But they are reversing the usual order of things by celebrating the heavy expenses of other businesses shout only when they have heavy increases or gains. But it is nothing new for this group and organization to take advance steps in the business world. It was the first colored institution to make a practice of giving the public full details and facts about its business at frequent intervals every year, even before such was required by law. Thus it appears that this organization's officers and employees know well the value of the "Public be informed and pleased" attitude. It seems that many of its policyholders and friends, knowing of its great service to its membership during sickness, accident and death, and its great economic uplift to the race in giving employment to hundreds of young women and men, and its fine support of colored banks and other enterprising groups, our own group, groups, urged the officers to the policyholders and public a chance to show, in a tangible way, their appreciation of this fine group and organization. Therefore, during the week beginning Monday, May 3rd, the Home and district offices and agencies will keep open house to the general public; while the agency staff will strive to see which group can make the best score in placing one new officer and to secure 100 new collection bursaries. A Souvenir will be presented each caller to the district offices and agencies during Policyholders' Anniversary Week. The Society's statement, as of December 31, 1925, carried these evidences of insurance stability and conservation. Gross Income $11,137,781.28; Policy Reserves $275.75; Total paid in the账款 $275.00, and Total paid Policyholders in claims to December 31, 1925—$4,105,655.42. COLORED MEMBERS ADDED TO RACE RELATIONS BODY Tuskegee Institute, Ala., April—At the recent annual meeting here of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, Dr. Channing H. Tobias, of New York, one of the international secretaries of the Y. M. C. A., and Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of Richmond, Virginia, were elected to membership in the Commission. Mr. David D. Jones, of Atlanta, continues as general editor of the journal, and Dr. James Bond, of Louisville, as director for Kentucky. Both were highly commended for their work in resolutions adopted by the Commission. The following members of the Commission were present as representatives of the colored group: Dr. and Mrs. Robert R. Moton, Mrs. Mary Meleod Bethune, Dr. and Mrs. John Hope, Bishop George C. Cleophtenius, Mrs. Mrs. Cleophtenius, Hawkins Brown, Mrs. H. L. McCrocker, Mr. C. Spaulding, Mrs. R. S. Wilkinson, Mrs. Janie Porter Barrott, Dr. John M. Gandy, and Miss Eva Bowles. At the conclusion of the season, the spirit and outlook of the meeting were set forth as follows by a findings committee composed of N. C. Newbold, Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Mrs. P. A. Eubank, Dr. John M. Gandy, and P. C. Hope, encouragement, optimism, challenge—these are the word which seem to represent the spirit of this conference. Hope, because the future for both groups is promising; encouragement, because we are beginning, at last, to see eye to eye and to understand heart to heart; optimism, because improved living and educational conditions are being provided to South; challenge, because of the difficult and arduous tasks still ahead of us. "Hope, encouragement and optimism will cheer and hearten us, but they must not lull us to sleep. They should act as a stimulus to spur us on in the performance, of the great tasks which are even now at our door. We have the opportunity to go forward in race relations on a tremendous scale herefore unknown in history anywhere. (Shall we have the wisdom, the courage, the Christian attitude to meet this great challenge?) Small groups of people will work while and purpose are one, each group must make its own contribution in a way peculiar to itself? There will be need of self-forgetfulness, self-sacrifice and genuine Christian co-operation and toleration on the part of each."

HAINES LOSES TO STATE The logic of the deplating team of State College's Academy-was too much for the fororgisg group from Haines Institute, and State College was victorious here last night by a unanimous vote of the judges. These two teams slashed on the proposition that "The United State Should Join the League of Nations," the home team defending the affirmative side. Both Miss Burch and Mr. Williams of the affirmative showed that they only had talent in the field of instrumentation, but that they had received superior training. Their argument in the defense of the league and the United States' entrance into the same was so impregnable until the negative found it useless to utilize their right to a rebuttal.

Humanity stubbornly clings to its junk for three seasons of the year only to ruthlessly have it carted away in the spring. The spring house-cleaning usually can produce at least one truck load of old clothes, shoes, cast-off furniture and furnishings, broken dishes and utensils and other items of household accumulation. Something is sacrificed by every closet and drawer to the spring exodus of non-essentials and superfluities. And the office, store and factory are not immune from the spring clean-up germ.

Employment Scarce In The North There is a scarcity of work in the large cities of the North, particularly for the colored laborer, reports the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urbai League, a well-informed agency on lab conditions affecting our group in the urban centers. The department broadcasts the report as a warning to those who are planning to leave their homes in the South this summer to go North in search of work. The warning should be received with the utmost urgency and relaxed by welfare workers There is a scarcity of work in the large cities of the North, particularly for the colored laborer, reports the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League, a well-informed agency on labor conditions affecting our group in the urban centers. The department broadcasts the report as a warning to those who are planning to leave their homes in the South this summer to go North in search of work. The warning should be received with the utmost credence and relayed by welfare workers, preachers, teachers and by the better informed and more cautious to all sections of the South so that the Southern laborer who is now fairly well situated in so far as earning a living goes, will think twice before he foolishly throws away the opportunity he has to seek opportunity where it does not exist. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE never has been converted to the idea that wholesale migration of the Negro from the South meant for his ultimate gain as a race, and never has hailed this shift of population as the fore-runners of the millenium for the oppressed pressed forceful sentiments against lynching which were compiled in a pamphlet and circulated inside and outside of the state in an effort to bring public sentiment to bear against the hideous pastime in the benighted Delta Commonwealth. Mississippi lynches again—this time a white man—in the most revolting fashion, if one lynching can be more revolting than another. The mob fastens the nose about its victim's neck and forces him to jump from a bridge and hang himself. No one can say the deed added to Mississippi's shame for Mississippi cannot be shamed. No one can say the escutcheon of the state was further blackened by the benign crime of this mob, for Mississippi's escutcheon long ago was obscured in the blackness of its ignorance and savagery. The state is simply hopeless; the tobacco-spitting, rum-soaked ignorantuses are in the saddle and nothing short of a federal anti-lynching law backed by the whole resources of the government will ever bring it to its senses. But we are not surprised because a Mississippi mob lynched a white man. It is simply a matter of the turn of the coat from lynching a black to lynching a white, or from lynching an ignorant peasant to lynching a judge on the bench. One merely precedes and invites the other. When the authorities winked at the lynching of a Negro nondescript at Clarksdale, they then and there invited and encouraged the lynching of the white man. Lawlessness begets lawlessness, and the proposed federal antilynching measure is not race or class legislation at all, but legislation proposed for the preservation of the liberties of the American people. State rights never were higher than the life, liberty and rights of the individuals who make up the states, and when the states are so palpably disinclined to protect life as Mississippi repeatedly shows itself to be, it is time the federal government which vouchesafes protection to all to step in and protect it. Mississippi is irredeemable of itself. It is sorely in need of national aid for the preservation of its laws and the life of its people. Will Congress accept the challenge? THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING We have fallen on a time when the gospel is being cheapened by its own friends. We provide for too much preaching. We hear too many sermons. The program of our denominational associations and conventions are so cluttered with sermons, there is little time for aught else save listening to the efforts of the organization's ecclesiastical stars. The result is that these meetings degenerate into mere oratorial contest. Instead of the auditors sitting with open minds to hear as from heaven, they sit in critical judgment to decide as to which one of the brothers will carry off the session's honors. In far too many cases you hear them discussing voices, moans and mannerisms of the preachers instead of what the preachers said. And what shall I say about our practice of staging preaching services as anniversary-purpose filters and for raising money for various church clubs and departments? Many of our leading church workers will say without any sense of shame, "A preaching service is the least expensive method of raising money. You don't have to print any tickets. In case it rains, you don't have to pay out any guarantee as in the case of a concert artist. Besides you don't have to give the preacher fifty per cent; you can just hand him 'carfair.'" Along this same line, there is a growing practice of using "special messages" at old houses on Sunday, not so much as a means of reaching groups that need these revelations but as drawing cards for crowds that will replenish the church coffers. For example, a man after years of reading, meditation and prayer feels led to deliver a special message to women. He does so, and an overwhelming crowd hears and profits by the things he says. Immediately some hard-pressed group in a church sees this man and his message as a "paying proposition." Or the officers of a school league see a chance to raise some money for lengthening the school term. In the long run a commercialized gospel will prove doubly ruinous. People get tired of even a good show, which at first they were willing to pay large fees to witness. It will be no different with the hearing of the gospel. If the good news is being proclaimed merely for the leaves and fishes it will attract, it will both lose its power to draw the crowds and miss its spiritual ends. But these twin tendencies to over-emphasize mere preaching and to commercialize it not only lessens the gospel's value in the estimation of the people. The preacher himself degenerates into mere priest instead of becoming the flaming herald he was supposed to be. Instead of his messages being born of days of long meditation and prayer, they become more claptrap. He goes to his pulpit steeped in what the commentaries have said and what the Denominational Fathers have decreed, but with little of that Divine compulsion that comes from personal observation and immediate experience. His many money-raising preaching engagements keep him too busy. Besides, real preaching might not prove to be such a drawing card. So he bushes himself learning by rote a number of fantastic and bizarre conclusions for his sermons. His whole aim is to send his hearers away saying, "Didn't we have a good time." Let our denominational agencies devote more time to devotional services of prayer and song and to round-table discussions of church problems. Let our churches locally rearrange budgets and provide otherwise for raising funds. Let preaching be as at the first something for which people are hungry and thirsty. Only thus will proper value be placed upon the gospel. Editorial Page of colored people. This paper submits that there are possible benefits for the Negro in the migration movement, but holds that it is doubtful whether these benefits outweigh the inevitable losses. We took this position some years ago, when the Negro who urged his people to exercise extreme caution before sacrificing their homes and land to go North, ran the risk of being branded as a traitor to his race, and though we have witnessed the migration at its peak and have since had time to observe some of its effects, we still are unconvinced that the race has or will measurably profit by it. We have also observed that many of our cities at the time, who loudly acclaimed the migration movement as a harbinger of the Negro's economical salvation derive no further enthusiasm from it. Moreover, we do not concede that a good farmer, a landowner, reduced to a hired factory laborer constitutes a gain for himself or his race, nor do we admit that the scope of the Negro's future rests in his congregating in the consciemeless industrial regions of the North against his taking advantage of the many opportunities still his in the South. The employment situation in the great industries has reached the saturation point. The pendulum might revert in the other direction at any time, and should an era of acute unemployment usher in upon these industries, it is not pleasant to contemplate the situation that hundreds of these mirrors will fall heir to. colored people.

Citizens Who Shirk Their Highest Duty Nobody knows better than the editors of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE how hard it is to persuade Afro-American citizens to qualify themselves to vote by complying with the legal requirements, or how hard it is to get them to take the trouble to vote after they have so qualified. When they get bad laws and bad administration of the laws as a result of their shirking of their duties as citizens, they are the first to complain and seek "edress for wrongs." The entire citizenship of the Southern states is guilty of neglecting to qualify to vote, and in no other group of states do we have a worse body of laws or a more one-sided administration of the laws. The whites are all Democrats by a large majority and take little interest in voting because they have settled the election in the white primary voting and the blacks do not vote because they have no primaries and are afraid they would be mocked by the whites if they were organized and undertook to vote. So here we have a deadlock which minimizes the disposition to vote and makes for the worst sort of laws and regulations to vote. In so here we have a deadlock which minimizes the disposition to vote and makes for the worst sort of laws and regulations to vote. President Coolidge, in an address to the Daughters of the American Revolution, in Washington, recently excoriated those civic obligations which help to make for a bad condition. This shirking the President hold was the greatest danger to the nation, greater than crimes and violence, and justly so as the neglect nukes for violence and crime. The tendency to remain away from the polls has been on the increase. Between 1880-96, slightly out of 100 qualified voters cast their ballots. In the past two Presidential elections the average has been 50 percent. On the other hand, in England and Wales and in Germany, in 1922 and 1924, 82 per cent of the qualified voters cast their ballots, showing a greater interest in their civil duties than the free citizens of the United States. Every citizen should take heart the following statement of President Coolidge: Nobody knows better than the editors of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE how hard it is to persuade Afro-American citizens to qualify themselves to vote by complying with the legal requirements, or how hard it is to get them to take the trouble to vote after they have so qualified.

On the other hand, in England and Wales and in Germany, in 1922 and 1924, 82 per cent of the qualified voters cast their ballots, showing a greater interest in their civil duties than the free citizens of the United States. Every citizen should take to heart the following statement of President Coolidge: "We live in a republic. A vital principle of that form of government is representation. More and more as our population increases it becomes necessary for the people to express their will through their duly chosen delegates. If we are to maintain the principle that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, if we are to have any measure of self-government, if the voice of the people is to rule, if representatives are truly to reflect the popular will, it is altogether necessary that in each election there should be a fairly full participation by all the qualified voters." National and state elections should be controlled separately and the elections should not fall in the same years. The Federal election machinery should be uniform in all the states and independent of state control. Citizens qualified to register and vote should be compelled to do so or be held to account by the Federal Elections Commission in each state. The right of citizens to vote in a national election should not be denied or abridged, except as prescribed by the Federal Constitution, by any legislation of a state or organized huggery outside of the law by one group of citizens against another. It will have to come to this before we can have fair elections for President and members of the Congress.

Mississippi Defiant Just some few weeks ago the women of Mississippi made what looked like an earnest effort to focus public attention of the state upon the horrible barbarity with which its people were cursed in the form of lynching. This flare-up followed the lynching of a Negro at Clarksdale after a jury had acquitted him of a charge of murder. The Governor and the county prosecutor promised vigorous action against the alleged perpetrators of the deed, who were arrested and indicted for murder. The trial jury did the rest, it simply turned them nose, all except one or two against whom the solicitor moved for a nolle prose. And the blighting curse upon the commonwealth round up in a judicial farce.

For all who are interested in the progress of the American Negro, for all who desire a non-catastrophic end of America's largest social problem, for all who believe in democracy of method as well as of aim—this volume brings new encouragement. It demonstrates not only the rapid advance of a racial minority but an advance which, in spite of the continued domination of the majority, is gradual and peaceful. This book helps the reader to understand both how and why the relations between the two races are more and more passing from an era of conflict into one of cooperation. The subjects covered include health, housing, industry, social work, the churches, the courts, the schools—all in relation to the emancipation of the Negro—and the part played in these fields of activity and in others by in a racial cooperation. Obviously, a three-day conference can do no more than locate and define some of the problems or suggest here and there a bit of promising practice. But that it was substantially the purpose of this conference: above everything else, it was a pooling of resources found helpful in local practice. While national experts had been called in to advise, it was as participants in the discussion that they contributed their more exact knowledge of the various topics, not as oracles functioning in a mystic aura of professionalism. Each session extended over more subject matter than a whole week's discussion could have truly mastered. Thus these proceedings create more of an appetite than they can satisfy. But fuller data can be obtained elsewhere by those who need them; and perhaps there is special value in a volume that indicates how rich is the crop of existing knowledge and experience waiting to be harvested for a nation-wide program of interracial adjustment. —BY BRUNO LASKER SOUTHERN WORKMAN Published monthly by Hampton Institute Published monthly by Hampton Institute The current issue of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute press) contains a valuable account with illustrations of "Interracial Relations in Columbus, Ohio," by the executive secretary of the Urban League, Nimrod B. Allen. Another interesting illustrated article is on "The Resurrection of Belgium" by St. Nihal Singh. Rev. H. T. Wright, for many years a missionary in Uganda, writes, from his long experience, on "Changing Africa." Other articles on constructive racial activities are "The Juvenile Court of Columbus, Georgia," "Dixie Nurses in Charleston, S.C." "The Three Thousand and Rosenwald Building," and "Opportunity for Service in Our Public Schools," by a supervisor in Baltimore. Editorials describe the "Conference of Friends of the Indians," and the "Hampton Builders' Conference." "The Popularity of the Spirituals" is another timely topic discussed; and "The Negro Year Book" for 1925-26 is reviewed. The number contains, as usual, the record of incidents of Hampton Institute, notes on its graduates, and several book reviews. BACKBITING By R. A. ADAMS In the 15th Psalm the question is asked, "Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernack? Who shall dwell in Thy holy bill? And the first character mentioned as being eligible to this 'honor is 'He that backbitch not with his tongue. He that speakketh not evil against his neighbor." If this edict stands then the backbitch is in for condemnation and for final ostracism. Generally backbiting is defined as lying on one behind his back, but there should be included malevolent misrepresentation, wilful exaggeration, and the exposure of one's faults and weaknesses behind his back. To these should be added the distortion of facts to the discredit and detriment of another. This wicked habit of dealing unjustly and misrepresenting one in his absence is justly called backbiting, because it is like sneaking up and biting one, behind his back, when he has no means of defense. And this attacking one's character or his reputation, behind his back is worse than literal backbiting. This wicked habit is manifestly unChristian. It is opposed to the "Golden Rule." It is subversive of social amity. It often I said some time ago that the Negro bootleger was the greatest sinner against his race. Granted that all men are equally obligated to keep the law and are equally forbidden to break it. Yet there is a residuum of difference in the surrounding circumstances. The salvation of the Negro depends upon the enforcement of certain constitutional amendments calculated especially for his benefit. If he violates the eighteenth amendment when it suits his appetite or pecuniary advantage so to do, where it lies the moral consistency in demanding of the nation the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth If he violates the eighteenth amendment when it suits his appetite or pecuniary advantage so to do, where lies the moral consistency in demanding of the nation the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. He who seeks equity must do equity. The court of justice must be approached with clean hands. Several Negro newspapers at the time took my position sharply to task. They stoutly maintained that the Negro must assert his equality even in his privilege of breaking the law. Since I threw out that casual observation the whole issue of prohibition has been focused upon public attention. The issue hinges upon the question of moral consistency. The violation of the Civil War amendments with impunity is quoted as precedent for violation of the eighteenth amendment. If Mississippi and South Carolina may ignore one part of the constitution to suit their feelings, interests or prejudices by what moral authority can they point the condemning finger at New York and New Jersey if these states balk at the constitutional provision for prohibition? I revert to my original position. Whatever the white people may think or do, the Negro should stand firmly by the strict enforcement of the law. I have often said that the black man's interest in politics is moral. He may well defer to the white overlords of things for the proper guidance and government of the country so far as its economic prosperity and material welfare are concerned. But when it comes to the question of naked, unadorned manhood, then his interests become primary and paramount. Basically, the eighteenth amendment is a moral question. The Negro should take a firm stand on it. The enforcement of the eighteenth amendment is testing the American people more seriously than any other issue since the foundation of the government. The respect of law lies at the basis of all constituted order. The people may outgrow a law and let it fall into harmless disuse. They may dodge and evade its enforcement by indirect and cunning as in case of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. But in all such cases the violation is accompanied with a measure of shame and qualms of conscience. Every revised constitution of the Southern states intended to subvert the Civil War amendments acknowledges their validity by seeming conformity with their exactions. Vice pays a homage to virtue when it bows to its superiority in principle although it persists in its perversion in practice. Men have violated the Ten Commandments every hour since their announcement from Mount Sinai, but at the same time they feel guiltiness of conscience at each violation. But with the eighteenth amendment, it is not so. Not only do the law breakers violate the law but they justify the illegal deed. If this practice is allowed to continue there can be no respect for law. When the fabric of constituted order weakens the weak people are always the chief sufferers. The stronger element of society can always protect themselves. The law is the bulwark of defense of the weak. Therefore it besoaves the weaker race to uphold the law in the full strength of its integrity. The Volstead act is not a part of the amendment, but merely a provision for putting the law into effect. But the issue has been drawn. The fight is a straight one between the wets and the drys. There can now be no compromise, since the issue became a moral one. Had the results in loss of reputation, destruction of peace, severance of friendships, and not infrequently in suicide and the loss of an immortal soul. It would be well that all professing Christians who are guilty of this sin should read Jas. 1:26—If any man among you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." To constrain any modification of the Volunteer act under pressure of threats of open violators of it would be equivalent to compromising with evil, declare Dr. Kelly Miller, who adds: "It is always a dangerous procedure to lower the bars of a malicious issue. We should never lower the standard to unit the practice, but raise the practice to the requirements; of the standard." Dr. Miller outlines two theories of the Constitution, the Jeffersonian which holds that it is merely a human contrivance to meet the contemporary demand of the generation enacting it and that it should be remodeled afresh with ever new generation. The other theory, which is the predominant, Dr. Miller holds, regards the Constitution as a sacred document comparable to the Ten Commandments and should have no additions or subtractions except upon the deliberate will of an overwhelming majority of the people, expressed in thought, spirit and practice precedent to the plebiscite. matter of light wine and beers been the first step towards restricting the liquor evil, right-minded people might well have given it their support. But since the battle line has been drawn at the Volstad act, it must be fought on this basis. A modification of this act at this time under pressure of threats of open violators of the law would be equivalent to compromising with evil. It is always dangerous procedure to lower the bars of a moral issue. We should never lower the standard to suit the practice, but raise the practice to the requirements of the standard. There are two theories of the Constitution. The Jeffersonian idea was that a constitution was merely a human contrivance to meet the contemporary demand of the generation enacting it and that it should be remodelled afresh with every new generation. According to this idea the document would have only the force and effect of a statue passed by Congress or a state legislature. It would need shift with the shifting exigencies of time and circumstances. There could be no reverence or sacredness about such an instrument. The other theory is that the Constitution is a sacred document which expresses the loftiest conception and deepest conviction of the people. It deals only in those broad and basic principles which are permanent in their effect and influence. It becomes a sacred instrument, to be reverenced and obeyed. Like the Ten Commandments, it is hardly to be modified to meet every gust of popular sentiment, but stand through the ages.

Caps and Gowns and Formal Clothes Editor Journal and Guide: Sometimes ago I think I read in your columns a letter signed by a prominent physician of Suffolk, who protested against the wearing of the cap and gown by graduating classes of high schools on the grounds that this mode of dress properly belonged exclusively to graduating classes of colleges or professional schools. I have always felt that there was good sense in what he said, and I know that the cap and gown are not used in the large high schools of the North and New England. Neither are they used in the high school department of Hampton Institute, certainly a high school of recognized standing. Actually, we in some parts of the country, are making elementary and secondary education too expensive by the addition of so many frills and cus POET'S CORNER become the dominant one, amendments should be few and far between. The document should never be amended except when some new moral principle makes the extension of its original intention inevitable. The three war amendments but the fulfillment of the original meaning and purpose of the constitution which the unfolding development of our national life made inevitable. Nor should any principle or practice have ever worthy be added to the Constitution unless it meets the approval of an overwhelming majority of the people. This majority should not be the outcome of some hasty propaganda or emotional agitation, but should be deliberately derived at will assurance of its permanent duration. We have seen such measures as the initiative, referendum and recall command the approval of some emotional movement of eloquent presentation. Even though such measures might at the time carry a great majority of the people, they should not be imbedded into the Constitution until they have become thoroughly infiltrated into the thought, practice and experience of the people which alone would furnish assurance that they would be easily enforced and readily obeyed if made a part of the organic law of the organic law. It cannot be said that the eightth amendment was passed with deliberateness. It was pushed through as a war measure. The manner of its enactment has much to do with the matter of its enforcement. But however this might be it is now the law and as such must be enforced of the sanction of all law will be weakened. The Negro has most at stake and should stand firmly by the moral principle even in the whites should falter.

Dr. DuBois "Sons of Black Folks" is charming, only if very regrettable chapter effaced. For years I have pleasure in The North American Review, and in the In the Vanity Monthly, and the Vanity Fool seems in a class by itself.

GIBSON tooms. Plain and inexpensive dress for students finishing these courses, should be in order not should the practice of wearing the latest and most expensive styles and makes of clothes for students in class rooms be encouraged, as it seems to be in some of our local schools. But what I feel is particularly bad form and somewhat contrary to the best interest of students is to encourage them to give functions requiring formal dress. Why can't high school students give an affair just as students, and not as professional men or others whose school days are over? Why should so much of a student's time be devoted to preparing for a big formal function or his parents be paid to the extra expense of assisting him to obtain these formal dress clothes just because it is the thing and his class and school mates are doing it. It is not necessary that one be an eloquent to see the impropriety in this sort of thing, and there ought to be courage enough somewhere in the community to stand out against it. stand out against the ALEXANDER WILSON Norfolk, Va.
