Norfolk Journal and Guide WITNESSES RELATE GRIM STORY OF TYNES' MURDER State Association of Elks In Newport News Next Week Coroner's Jury Holds Husband In Connection With Death Of His Wife; Tales Of Alleged Cruelty Related. TRAGEDY SHOCKS THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD On Thursday night of last week, just four days after they had last moved at the sacred altar of St. Paul C. M. E. Church and together baskenet of the holy sacrament of the Lord's Suppet, as model husbands and wives are wont to do, and as they themselves had done many times before, Mrs. Lenora Tynes, 35, of 2422 Middle Street, Windower, lay a corpse with a wounded wound passing through her body and with a broken neck, while her husband, John L. Tynes, 37, was lodged in jail on a charge of murdered her. The grim and horrifying tragedy, alleged to have grown out of the wrath of an insanely jaculous husband and father, swept into the early home of the Tynes' about 13:00 clock, just as Mrs. Tynes was returning from the residence of her St. Minnes in Ghent, where she said she had been to serve a child, George~18, Johnny~16, with promising lads, and a daughter, Arlove, 13, of their mother and their father in the shadow of the electric chair. Bullet Passed Thru Body Mr. Tynes died following an alteration with her husband on the porch porch of their home, it is alleged, it later being discovered that death resulted from a bullet wound dancing from her right side just below the breast, passing through her body in a downward course directly below the heart, puncturing the aorta and coming out on the side just above the second rib, diving from a dislocated vertebrae of the neck. A short while after the tragedy her husband was taken in custody by Detective Nowitzky, who docketed the murder charge against him. Tuesday afternoon a Corporation Court room a coroner's jury laid the responsibility for Mrs Tynes' death upon her husband. It was the alleged dying words the woman that sent her husband to jail to face a murder charge. Half running and half halting the distance of a half hour from her home to Mackinell's shop in the middle of the block between Middle and West streets. Types, in the three of death dumbled into the store and gassed, Lord, Lord have mercy, oh, Lord have mercy, John—beat—me, John—beat—me—to—die, — John—h is the story told by witnesses at the request. What was to be her last word was nothing more than a scarcely muble, unintelligible sound. It was never uttered. Death was taking her lips. But she had said enough to surround her husband with ominous circumstances in connection with her death. Family Was Prominent The Tynes family was prominent in the Lindenwood section, one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of the city, and well known through Norfolk. News of the shocking crime rocked the quiet and peaceful neighborhood as never before and sent the neighbors from house to house aghast. The home of the Tynes' was one of the lowest in a neighborhood of lovely homes. On the inside there is all the appearances of home-life, modestly but sufficiently provided with the necessary comforts. Their children moved in the best social circles of the younger set. George, emotionally called "Pap" is a cooker T. Washington high school and a local football star and riding idol. Johnny is also a cooker T. High student, while Miss Aimée attends John T. West traded school. Mrs Tynes, herself, according to her neighbors in Lindenwood and others who knew her well, bore an impeachable reputation. Hers, she declares, has a stainless character. Johnny T., the husband, bore an excellent reputation in (Continued on Page 4) France recently sold 200,000 square meters of the state owned Christian Paris, to help her reinvest.

CITY HALL STILL MUM ON PARKS IN COLORED AREA Administration 'Sits Tight' on Purse Strings On Project Favorable to Negroes Bids On Willoughby Tract. Not only is the city of Norfolk through the Council and city manager "sitting tight" against any public parks or recreation grounds in any colored sections of the city, but everything possible is being done by the city administration to prevent colored citizens from acquiring land anywhere within the city limits which may be turned to recreational purposes for colored people by private interests. A few weeks ago there emarated from city hall the utterly incredible and impossible "rumor" that a group of colored citizens were dickering with the government for the purchase of a 47-acre tract of waterfront property at Willoughby, and that this was to be used for colored park purposes. It was highly important, the news from city hall said, for the city to get busy and purchase the land to keep it from falling into the hands of colored people. Bids on Willoughby Tract Although the city treasury is always depleted when the matter of acquiring a little breathing space for colored citizens is brought up, Council found the $110,100 with which to buy the 47-acre tract at Willoughby. For five years Council has been importured by citizens of both races to purchase a small tract on the eastern borders of the city for a colored recreation center at a price not exceeding $20,000, and this project seemed fairly on the way to realization until the coming of Major Trutun to the office of city manager, since when it has been deeply pleased with the approval and consent of Council. Meanwhile with no money in the treasury numerous parks, golf links and sites for additional playgrounds have been purchased and set aside for the exclusive use of whites. With twenty-one parks already established in white residential sections the city a few months ago acquired at a funny price neither twenty-three or in Larchmont for park purposes. A few months ago the department of public health was asked to assist the colored boys' club in providing some playground equipment, similar to equipment furnished by the city for numerous white playgrounds, but this request was vetoed by the city manager. When it seems necessary to do something to impress the populace with the determination of city manager and city council to do everything possible to keep the colored citizens from getting a park, or decent living conditions, on any transportation facilities at all, the city hall press agent is called upon to do some broadcasting, as was true when the flusks last August, ordinance was passed last August, when he dreaded in a new city was enacted and when the false alarm was sent out concerning the Willoughby land purchase. Norfolk remains behind every Southern city in the matter of justice to its colored population. Ed. Mullen's Case Again Goes Over A second hopelessly deadlocked jury failed to decide the fate of Ed Mullen on trial in Federal Court Monday on a charge of violating the Harrison Narcotic Act. Judge Groner discharged the jury and set the case for trial again at the November term of court. Mullen was first tried at the last November term. At that time the jury failed to agree, and the case was set for trial at the May term. The second jury also deadlocked on the case. Mullen was freed on a $2,500 bond.

Lovette's lifeless body was found in his shanty which was afire by Mr. Buchanan, who was returning in an automobile with his family from the city, and discovered the blaze. The man had been killed and fire set to his home, an investigation disclosed. On the night previous he had been paid the remainder of his wages for the season's work, amounting to $100.00. When his body was found it was discovered that he had been robbed. Hill also worked at the fisheries and knew of the money the old man carried, it was alleged. Hill had left the city a few days before Lovette was slain. He was arrested, however, and charged with the crime. Detective Nwitzky and other city officers who aided in the investigation testified to finding a packet piece known to have belonged to Lovette on Hill's person wher he was arrested. They also stated that blood stains were discovered on clothes belonging to Hill. mobile. He was fired on by the officers before his automobile was halted, receiving a bullet, wound in the foot, it was stabbed. t SAYS HE'LL BARE ALLEGED SCHOOL FACTS Rev. C. P. Madison Declares That Determined Effort Will Be Made To Rid The School System of Unfit. THREATENS TO GO TO THE SCHOOL BOARD Rev. C. P. Madison, pastor of Second Calvary Baptist Church, has announced that at 11:30 a.m., next Sunday morning, May 16, he will preach a sermon dealing with what he declares to be the dance evil as being led by some of the teachers of the public schools of Norfolk.

Many things practiced by some of the teachers of Norfolk unit team for the trust institution that both the school board that owns them, the public that is that Dr. Madison asserts, and states that in his Sunday morning sermon he proposes to expose some of these things. This sermon, the minister says, will be the beginning of a determined effort on the part of the public to rid the school system of what he calls known undesirables, even if the public must go before the school board and have the facts. "The young life of the race must be trained to serve humanity in the higher things of life and glorify God," concluded Rev. Madison, who invites principals and teachers of all the schools to come out Sunday morning to Second Calvary and hear for themselves.

She said she wants me to join her and told me to report to the police so they would send me to the elec- tric chair and then I will join her," thus spoke Samuel Fulton why he finally reported to the authorities the fact that he had killed his 24-year-old wife, Mrs. Marie Fulton on Palm Sunday. Fulton told detectives that he had discovered proof of infidelity on the part of his wife and on Palm Sunday he quarrelled with her and during an alteration that followed struck her on the head with a hammer. At first detectives thought Fulton demented, but finally he convinced them that he had slain his wife, and was held without bail to await hearing.

The following extracts give the heart of the statement: OBjection of Tennessee Democrat Causes Senate To Pass Over Bill Conferring Rights On Virgin Islanders. STATUS OF NATIVES IS STILL UNCHANGED Washington, D. C., May 12—Upon the objection of Senator Kenneth D. McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, the Senate at its evening session last Monday passed over the bill to confer citizenship upon the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands when it was proceeding with the consideration of unobjected bills under an unanimous consent agreement. When the Virgin Islands bill was reached, Senator McKellar objected upon the ground that he did not think it wise to confer citizenship on practically all of the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands. Senator Frank B. Willis, Republican, of Ohio, calling attention to the unfortunate situation of the Virgin Islands inhabitants, sought to have him withdraw his objections. "I cannot believe," said Senator Willis, "any Senator desires that any consignable number of people be held against the aegis of American protection shall be without American citizenship." Senator McKellar, however, insisted that the bill be passed over. This bill was favorably reported to the Senate by the committee on immigration through Senator Willis. What It Provides It provides that all former Danish citizens who have continued to reside in the Virgin Islands or in the United States and who did not preserve their Danish citizenship under the terms of the convention, and also all natives of the islands who were of the nearly absent at sea of the cession and who have since returned and now reside in the islands, and their children born since the islands have become possessions of the United States, shall be citizens of the United States.

Church Declares. PLEDGES HELP TO THE COLORED M. E. CHURCH Memphis, Tenn., May 11.—"Christianity is a failure unless it can bring the different races into right relations with one another and set them to living on the basis of brotherhood in the household of God," says the College of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in their quadrennial address to the General Conference of that body which convened here a few days ago. Applying this principle to the racial situation in America, the bishops continue, "Our holy religion demands the sovereignty of right and the law of love in applied helpfulness in all the relations of the white race to the Negro within our gates." Friendship With C. M. E. "Again and again the General Conference has had its attention called to our relation and duty to the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. To that great Church we continue to be cordially bound. We would not and we cannot deny our duty to these our brethren, a duty to be truly measured only by our means and opportunity. From the organization of that church nothing has disturbed the harmony of our community too highly praise their conduct. Their work continues to be blessed of God, and for this we rejoice with great joy. No good can come to them, no success can attend their work, that will not deepen our joy. . . No less for their sake than for ours we need to continue to increase the help we are giving. . . Men Must Be Brothers "Men must be brothers, if there is to be any brotherhood. G o d demands it; "Thou shalt." It is still a new commandment that we should love one another . . . Our holy religion demands the sovereignty of right and the law of love in applied helpfulness in all the relations of the white race to the Negro within our gates." ACQUIT DR. WILSON ON DRUG CHARGE Dr. S. R. Wilson, prominent Church street physician, was acquitted by a jury in Federal Court Thursday morning of a charge of illegally selling drugs to a white woman. Dr. Wilson was arrested by federal narcotics agent some months ago, after it was alleged that a white woman had entered his office and purchased a quantity of cocaine with a marked $10.00 bill. At the time the physician declared the charges were a frame-up and that in due time he would be vindicated.

Moralization in an abstract way about the family and value of truth has but the effect in establishing the habiless truthfulness during the early years of childhood. Parents should not letting a child develop the habit of lying merely because it is easier for them to avoid the issue to meet it squarely. The lynch of children is not infrequently imitation of the same practice either members of the family or themselves are inclined to give every issue in life either by delusion or by deception. The ever useful headache, that one is out when an unattractable neighbor calls, lack of address between the parents in a household matters, and warnings to the children of "Don't tell your father" or "Don't tell your mother" tend to give the child ideas that evading the truth is helps a very useful bit of technology in dodging new, untried, and real situations. But it is not difficult to teach most of them that telling the truth is often of effort, inasmuch as it gives them approbation of those whom they have to live and to their material pleasure. This may be accomplished by giving them an environment of truthing, and by demonstrating to them that lying will invariably out to their disadvantage. D. B. A. THOM, Children Bureau, Baltimore, D. C.

Norfolk Journal and Guide, 711 E. Olney Road. Dear Naomi: I met a man last August in Portsmouth, he is 28 years old and I am 17, I care more him than I do for any other person. I like his ways and I think he would make any girl a nice husband. He acts as a friend to me while I'm home, still he has other girls, but he says he cares more for me. Since I've been away in school I heard he had another girl and he didn't know which one he wanted to marry. He asked me to marry him last year, but I refused until I take up four years in college. He says he must have some one to assist him in his home affairs. He cannot visit me while I am in school. I try not to let him know how much I care for him, but I write him nice letters as he does me. I cannot forget him. He has been associating with the flappers, now he tells me he has quit them for me. I believe in a good time in the right way. I attend nice dancing parties. I like movies sometimes. This man has been deceived in love many times, but tells me that he has more confidence in me than he has in his other friends. If I don't marry him, I don't think I will have any one else. Please have this published in the Norfolk Journal and Guide. Anxious Girl I think you settled it nicely when you say you told him you would have to finish your college work. Now just what is he looking for, a wife or a housekeeper, since his need is so urgent? If he loves you let him find a way to manage until you finish school since you can make a better wife for having learned more. Wise girl, do not let him know you are so much in love with him. Yes it is nice to have a nice time in the right way. I wish you luck. Dear Naomi: I am a girl seventeen years of age. I am going with a boy 20 years of age. He has gone away to work for the summer: He has often asked me would I promise not to have any other fellow while he is away. He has been going with me about one year. He seems to love me and I care very much for him. Do you think it right for me not to have any other fellow while he is away. Blue Eyes Dear Blue Eyes: No, if you are not engaged he has no right to ask you not to go with anyone else, but of course you will be guided in your actions toward him according to your love for him. Do not feel you are obligated to that extent when you are not engaged. Naomi Dear Naomi: I have been going with a fellow about fifteen months and he says that I am his only love and he wants to marry me, which we have planned to do, but he has gone away to work and get in a better position to marry. He says for me to remain here until he returns. But I am anxious to spend the summer in some lively town and enjoy myself as I think he will be doing anyway. Would it be better for me to remain here or go away and enjoy myself. If I remain here, would it be alright to correspond with some nice fellow? Dear Dimples: Now listen you are engaged but you would do well to get all this pleasure out of your system before you marry the boy as you seem to be quite worried about the fun side. Of course he wants you to remain here until his return. Men are selfish just like that. If you are with relatives, you are safe. If you go away can you take care of yourself or will you be well looked after? Maybe he had that in mind. Surely you would not want him to work all the time, while away and not have any fun. It is also equally right that you have some fun while he is away. Selfish beaus make jealous husbands. There is no harm in your corresponding with some nice fellow. Naomi. Dear Naomi: I am a young girl eighteen years of age. I have a young gentleman coming to see me. I am very much in love with him and he says he really loves me and shows it by his actions. My mother and father don't want me to go to the movies on Sunday night, they want me to go to church. I think by my parents not even wanting me to go, our love will be broken. J. J. R. Dear little girl or young Miss for you are really that now that you are 18 years of age. Nevertheless, you will always be a child to your parents and don't you think after all these years, they ought to know what is correct. Don't you feel that you owe them respect and love and obedience for the years of toil and care they have given you? That young man does not love you very sincerely nor is his love very worth while if he wishes to have you do the things your parents disapprove of. If he tries in any way to have you disobey your parents then he is not the right follow. I am a girl 15 years of age and I am in the sophomore class of the High School of this city. I am in love with a boy 17 years of age and he has gone with me before. How can I win him again? 2—How old should a girl be when her friend takes her out to parties and movies? 3—I want to know if a boy respe ts a girl after he has kissed her. 4—How old is a girl when she knows what is real love? 5—How old should a girl be Mme.

"Beauty," next to "Love" in importance, and one of the most wonderful words in any language—from the savage to the savant, we are all wonderfully influenced by true beauty in any form, and we may all possess it too. Possibly not to every one is given beauty of face or form, but beauty of soul, and spirit and is for every one who will strive sufficiently for its attainment. Any natural gift may be cherished and cultivated, into greater perfection. Beauty of Soul, is not altogether inherited but it is a gradual growth, wherein selflessness, envy jealousy, and all kinds of evil passions are overcome by prayer, and the exercise of strong clear will power; the will develops only by, and strengthens through constant use. "Beauty of Mind" does not necessarily consist in having attained a number of diplomas, or college degrees, but in a daily and hourly achievement. None of us fully realize the influence we have, either for good or evil, and many of us who possess real beauty of feature, or form, are much too prone to minimize the last beauty of soul and mind. I am convinced, however limited the time or means, with a little care, every single day, any girl or woman can soon work wonders with her personal appearance. Keep your hair alive, and no matter what the color, it will be beautiful if healthy, brush it nightly, massage it once in a while, should it appear dull or lifeness, massage more frequently, and see that it is given hot-oil treatments. Beauty is best when appropriately formed, so watch your clothes, see that they harmonize with your type, both as to color and design. HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER, Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking Powder Co. ROOM ENOUGH IN THE CLOSET A summer cottage often lacks sufficient clothes-closet space and when guests are in the house it causes great inconvenience. This problem can be solved by securing a velocipede wheel and giving it a coat or two of white enamel. Attach the wheel to the shelf in such a way that it can revolve. The dresses can be put on hangers and placed on the rim of the wheel.

He held a responsible position, being time keeper for coal trimmers at the Virginia Railway pliers at Sewell's Point. With his wife, he was a member of St. Paul Church, and they, together had communion there regularly. Mammoth Funeral Monday afternoon approximately 2500 persons endeavored to crowd into St. Paul Church to witness the rites of the funeral rites over the remains of the slain woman. When the ushers were forced to lock the doors, this being done to keep another person from entering the building, more than 400 men, and women and children were barred out. Hundreds of this crowd came out of sympathy for the family and orphan children, while greater numbers were moved to attend by morbid curiosity. The exact manner in which Mrs. Tynes met her death was never revealed at the coroner's inquiry, nor were the events leading directly up to her death fully bared by the probe of that body. The jury held her husband responsible in connection with the killing, but admitted that it was unable to determine how or in what manner she came by the pistol wound, giving only an opinion that she sustained the dislocated neck vertebrae in a snuffle with him. Numerous Witnesses Those testifying before the coroner's jury were reputable citizens of Lindenwood and neighbors of the Tynes family. They comprised the most intelligent group of colored witnesses seen in the court room in many moons. Their testimony was positive, direct and unwavering. But there was not a single witness who could testify as to what happened to the dead woman, or who was with her, if anybody, from the time she left the Ghent residence of Mrs. Stinnes until reaching the front porch of her own home, or whether she was met by her husband at the jitney stop or encountered him waiting on the porch of their residence. The testimony of eye-witnesses began with the scuffle on the porch. Two neighbors living almost directly opposite the Tynes home, one a prominent Church street pool room proprietor, gave testimony which appeared to come nearest to accounting for a part of what happened to Mrs. Tynes before she staggered into the Macklin store. Heard A Scuffle These witnesses stated that it was some minutes past eleven o'clock, that they were on their way to their homes and when in front of the Tynes residence, just about ready to enter their own, their attention was attracted by loud talking and scuffling on the Tynes front porch. Stopping to see and hear what was going on, one of the witnesses declared, they heard Johnny Tynes say, "Yes you're drunk, G....D.... it, and I am going to kill you." The woman and whirled around from her husband, the witness said. He grasped at her waist with both arms outstretched when both he and she went off the porch down on the ground together. Whether he knocked or shoved her off, or she fell off in an attempt to elude him, the witnesses were unable to state. On the ground, the couple began to scuffle around on the vacant lot between 2422 and 2418, Mrs. Tynes finally breaking away and fleeing in the direction of the store, in which she collapsed. Neither of these witnesses were certain they heard a pistol shot, one asserting that he didn't, while the other stated that he heard a muffled crack but thought it was a kick the man had delivered the woman wholesale was on the ground. After she had succeeded in getting away, Tynes went into the house. Two other witnesses stated that they, with another person, were in the soft drink shop when the mortally wounded woman staggered in. She stepped in, they said, leaned on the counter and looked blankly about. Mrs. Macklin, the proprietor hastily inquired, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" It was then, Mrs. Macklin and the other witnesses declared, Mrs. Tynes uttered her dying words, "Johnny—beat—me, Johnny—beat—me—to—d'eath—h, Johnny—beat—me—to—and collapsed. She was picked up by the men and Mrs. Macklin and seated in a chair at a table. One of the men ran out to telephone for a physician, he testified, while Mrs. Macklin and the others attempted to give the woman first aid treatment. Mrs. Macklin stated, that she at once realized, however, that the woman was dying, the twist of her head indicating that her neck was broken. While one had gone to telephone for a physician, another neighbor was called into the store to assist in getting her back to her home. Just as they started out of the store with her, George, the eldest son walked in looking for his mother. Two men and the son then picked her up and started toward her home. She dide in their arms midway between her residence and the soda shop. Husband Shows Up Husband Shows Up Getting home with the body, the witness stated, they were puzzled what step next to take. Just then they heard someone upstairs wrapping or folding paper. They called out to Johnny Tynes, the husband. He came down the steps with a bundle under his arms and started out of the front door. He was intercepted and told he's better get a doctor for his wife because there was something the matter with her. To this he replied, the witness stated, "I'm going to see my lawyer first, then I'll get a doctor, I am tired of her making a monkey man out of me." The witness said that he insisted that the husband go for a doctor first, while the husband argued that he needed a lawyer first. Finally, Tynes went out of the house with the bundle under his arms. Police headquarters was notified of what had happened. Tynes soon returned to the house, where he was placed under arrest. He insisted that he had done nothing to his wife, and that if she was hurt she got hurt somewhere else. Children Excused The coroner did not put any of the children on the stand, stating that he would not call on the boys to testify against or for their dead mother or their father. He did ask Johnny ir., a few prefunctory questions, however. Johnny ir., stated that his mother did not enter the house on the night of the tragedy before she was killed. The argument and scuffle between her and her husband started on the porch, he said. The lad said he was in bed, but not asleep and heard the argument. He did not hear a pistol shot, nor was there any other witness who could swear to hearing a report of a pistol. It was testified by the sister of the dead woman that her husband was insanely jealous of his wife. He suspected and accused her of any and every man, the sister stated, having on one occasion severely beaten her because he saw the woman's brother-in-law assisting her aboard a street car on which the husband himself was riding. He objected to his wife, working, the sister stated. She declared that the slain woman often hired herself out in domestic service to earn money to buy wearing apparel which she was much in need of. On the night she was killed she had served a party in the home of Mrs. Stinnes in Ghent, the sister taking the money the dead woman was paid for the work from her stocking after she had been slain. Testify To Cruelty Testify To Cruelty Everyone of the witnesses testified that Johnny Tynes was cruel to his wife. They declared that he had habitually beaten her for a number of years. Mrs. Macklin said that she, on several occasions had sheltered Mrs. Tynes in her store, when the woman would flee the wrath of her husband. On one occasion, the witness stated, Mrs. Tynes rushed into the store begging for protection while her husband was right at her heels with a drawn knife, declaring that he was going to kill her. Two or three people were required to subdue the man and probably save the life of his wife at that time, it was testified to. Other neighbors told of having sheltered Mrs. Tynes in their homes, when she would run to them and declare that Johnny was again heating her. To their own knowledge, the witness stated, Mrs. Tynes left her husband for brief spells on numerous occasions in order to get a respite from his cruelty. Witnesses denied that Mrs. Tynes ever drank and were unanimous in declaring her reputation to have been excellent. Tiny Bullet Wound Dr. Williams, city coroner, told the jury that the bullet wound in the woman's body was so small that he did not discover it until the undertaker called his attention to a red spot on her side from which blood oozed. It took a minute examination, he said, to discover that she had been shot. To make sure on this point he performed a post mortn on the body. The coroner declared it was certain that the woman got the wound just a few minutes before she died, because it would have been impossible for her to have lived any length of time after receiving it. No pistol ever has been found in the case. Besides the broken neck and bullet wound, the doctor testified there were other injuries or abrasions on her body. Reports current in the neighborhood following the tragedy that Tynes and his wife had quarreled over financial matters; that he met her at the itinery and began the argument there; that he had before the killing taken certain papers and other articles from their home and secreted them away were not testified to by any witnesses before the coroner. Tynes talked but little after his arrest. He told Detective Novitzky, according to that officer, that he reached his home about 11:15 and that a short while after his wife came home drunk; that he grabbed at her and she fled, and that when a man later told him to get a doctor for her because she was hurt, he answered that he was going to see his lawyer, Mr. Merrill, because he was tired of being made a monkey man by her. Lock Church Doors At the funeral Monday afternoon the ushers of the church were forced to lock the doors even before the corpse arrived. The edifice was packed to its capacity. Rev. R. K. D. Garrett, pastor of Garrett's Temple, preached the funeral in the absence from the city of St. Paul's pastor. It was a sad funeral. A thousand tear-dimmed eyes turned toward the children as they sat stoically in a mourner's seat near the massive cream colored plush casket of their mother, while their father laquined in a prison cell on the charge of having orphaned them. Numerous huge wreaths covered the casket and stood on the rostrum nearby. Dr. Garrett preached a profound sermon, referring but slightly to the tragic circumstances under which the body had been brought before the chancel. He directed his sermon at the living, but seemed much concerned as others were over the future of the children of the tragedy swept family. Numerous resolutions of condolences and obituaries all attesting to the high character of the deceased were read on behalf of various persons and groups by Rev. J. H. Billups. The sons and daughter wont through the ordeal well. They did not break down either in the church nor at the inquest Tuesday. COLLEGE IDS YOLMN Season's Soci BAYSHORE HOTEL Sat.

The warmer they get, the faster they go and if you aren't a darn good driver—oh boy! A little paint and grease does a great deal for both. Tynes declined to talk. He waived preliminary examination and was sent on to the grand jury. At the inquest his interests were looked after by Attorney Merrill. Both husband and wife were natives of this city. They had been married nineteen years, fifteen of which, her neighbors said, had been passed in fear and trembling of her husband. Her body was interred in Calvary cemetery.

The Me A A Serv ing Account at the end Effective The very there are 60 po nothing which The Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company ANNOUNCES A Service Charge of (50) Cents Per Month on All Active Check- at the end of Each Calendar Month on Which Any Check Has Been Effective June 1st, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-six The very first article in their platform is SOUND BANKING, but in an average bank there are 60 per cent of active checking accounts that are carried at a loss. Certainly there is nothing which contributes to sound banking in rendering service to thousands of people at a loss. Therefore, the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co., after careful consideration has adopted a monthly service charge of 50 cents per month on active checking accounts which show an average monthly balance of less than $50, provided there has been one or more checks drawn during the month. Every Check Involves a Risk and Cost It is not the purpose of this bank to work any hardship on any individual, but to make each account a profitable one to the depositor for future business. Each and every check drawn by a depositor and paid by your bank involves seven distinct risks—A risk as to the date, risk as to the signature, risk as to the alteration, risk as to the filing, risk as to the stoppayment, risk as to the sufficiency of balance, risk as to the uncollected funds. What does the bank get in return for this service? Data gathered by the Associated Banks of Norfolk shows that a service charge is in effect in 42 states and 182 cities throughout the country, with a large percentage of the banks charging $1.00 per month for an average balance of less than $200. Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co., offers a service system that is on a par with any in this country. Service that is worth anything is worthy of this small charge. It is helping the bank to defray an extra expense, at the same time enabling us to offer even better service. Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company Drawn.

LOST WORLD', BIG FEATURE AT THE ATTUCKS THEATRE For one of the first times in film history two separate companies were necessary to work on the same picture at the same time in the same studio. The double system was used during the filming of "The Lost World," a superfeature adaptation of Conan Doyle's celebrated novel, made jointly by First National and Watterson R. Rothacker, which is showing next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the Attacks Theatre. The cast was so big and the production so immense, it would have taken a whole year to make the film under a single director. In the cast are seventeen principals and 2,000 players of lesser importance. Twelve photographers were used on the cameras. At the outset the directing was in the hands of Harry Hoyt, who later shared his labors with William ("Bill") Dowlan. In the concluding scenes the two companies were merged under Hoyt, the whole production being under Earl Hudson's supervision. Some idea of the vastness of the undertaking can be gathered from the fact that more than six years of experiment and planning were necessary before the actual filming of the story could be begun. Fish Used for Candles Fish User : There is a smelt-like fish that flourishes in Northwestern waters that is so oily that it cannot be fried or boiled because it almost completely melts to oil. When it is dried, fishermen thread a wick through it and use the dried fish for a candle. It is commonly called the candle fish as a result.

The times and places are as follows: November 23 and December 27, 1925; January 28 and February 22, 1926; at the Dudley home, 1219 Sixth street, northwest. February 23, 1926, and March 11, 1926, in an apartment in the Windsor Apartment House, 1425 T street, northwest. April 15, 1926, at or near the Soldiers Home in the District of The charge, which will be 50c per month, does not apply to Savings Accounts, neither will it affect checking accounts on which no checks have been drawn during the month. In the safeguarding of funds, the costs attached to accounting, the many risks involved, the service and many conveniences offered, the undersigned sincerely trust that their patrons will readily see and appreciate the need for the small charge that must be made in the future. Columbia and at 1010 Delaware voyage northward avenue, southwest. April 17, 1926, near Fredericksburg, Virginia. April 18, 1926, at 1010 Delaware avenue, southwest. In his petition, Mr. Dudley says that his wife and the co-respondent visited a place near Fredericksburg, Va., April 17, last, and misconducted themselves, remaining there together overnight. He y returned to the District of Columbia the next day, he states, and committed adultery at 1010 Delaware avenue southwest. On the night of March, 18, 1920 when he followed his wife to the Windsor apartments and discovered her unfaithfulness, Mr. Dudley says that he tried to prevent her from returning into their home at 1219 Sixth street, northwest. She forcibly re-entered, he claims, and destroyed and demolished several windows and chandeliers and otherwise damaged and multilated the house. Mrs. Dudley on that night had a warrant issued for the arrest of Mr. Dudley on a charge of assault, for which he forfeited $25 collateral in police court. Mrs. Dudley entered his theatrical offices at 1223 Seventh street, northwest. April 10, 1926, Mr. Dudley claims, and attempted to destroy all the books, papers and furniture in it in order to wreck his business. She succeeded in destroying several indispensable records, books and papers, he says, and he has been greatly embarrassed in the conduct of his business. When she left his office on this occasion; Mr. Dudley says, his wife took his automobile and secreted it at a place provided by the co-respondent and two boys later removed it to a public garage for storage. Upon the discovery of the whereabouts of his automobile, Mr. Dudley states, he was compelled to replenit it. He has since sold this automobile and bought another. Mr. Dudley, says he was compelled to leave home and seek other places to live. For awhile he stayed at the New Liberty Hotel, but his wife came there and committed acts of violence, he says, and he left. He then moved to the Dudley apartments, 1316 U street, northwest, which he owns. May 2, last, in his absence, he states, his wife came there and created a disturbance and made threats against him. Owing to that Mrs. Dudley threatens to further demolish the property at 1219 Sixth street, N.W., destroy his automobile and office books, furniture and papers, assault his employees and wreck his business, Mr. Dudley asks the court to restrain her from carrying out her threats and disturbing his peace and quiet. He also asks the court to grant his an absolute divorce. Mr. and Mrs. Dudley were married at Oxen Hill, Maryland, December 2, 1924, by the Rev. J. C. Love. They have no children. This is Mr. Dudley's second martial adventure. He is a divorce. Prior to their marriage, Mr. s. Dudley worked for Mr. Dudley.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Church street, our nationally famed business mart for colored people, is coming back into its own. Up to six months ago, it was a common experience to find vacant stores and offices in most every block in the colored business district. But things are changed now, no rent tags are seen. Another evidence that things are gradually on the upward trend is seen in the fact that several businesses have either moved into larger quarters or made extensive repairs to enhance the beauty and usefulness of the various establishments. Among these are Kemp's—The Place Beautiful; R. H. King, Cleaner and Presser; Madam V. D. Wrench, Dermatician; Hubert Lee, Tonsorial Artist; Brown and Brown, Real Estate Dealers; Madam S. E.

THE QUESTION BOX Questions "bearing" to business problems and routine inquiries will be cheerfully answered in this column. Address your inquiries to "Business Question Box," Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va. Q. If a man is worth about three thousand dollars and has given notes for about three hundred dollars without his wife's signature, can they be used as commercial paper in banks? H. M. W. A. Yes, they can be used as commercial paper, if properly made out without his wife's signature. Banks do not require a wife's signature particularly. They want to be sure they have proper security for loans made; they may require the signature of another person, whom they feel is good for the amount involved, or they may take the paper with just the maker's endorsement. This is called 'single-name paper' and is frowned upon by the State Banking Department. Q. Can a third mortgage holder demand a settlement when due if the first mortgage holder has been satisfied?—H. M. W. A. A third mortgage holder can demand settlement when due whether the first mortgage holder has ben satisfied or not. Demanding settlement and getting it, however, are two different matters. Do not forget that in the event of a foreclosure, the second mortgage holders interest must be satisfied before that of the third. Q. What is meant by the 'good will' of a business?—G. L. T. A. Good will is the disposition of the well-pleased customer to return to the place where he has been treated well, and send all the friends he possibly can there too. It is a valuable asset to any business and brings a price when a sale of the business is being considered. Q. Will the slump in the stock market seriously affect business? —Student A. The greatest danger resultant from the slump in the stock market will be mental rather than fundamentally economic. So many millions of persons have money invested in stocks and bonds that it is impossible for prices on Wall street to show a steady decline without destroying confidence in many minds and thus creating pessimism. While there has not been much let up in production, late information shows a falling off in new business. The large majority of experts thought that the recent stock slump will serve as a stabilizer to inflationary tendencies evidenced in financial circles ever since Coolidge was inaugurated. It is reassuring too to know that veterans in finance and business like Schwab and Gary predict a long continued era of prosperity for this country. Q...

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE stated that it is not the purpose of the bank to work any hardship on any individual, but to make each account a profitable one to the depositor for future business. Each and every check drawn by a depositor involves seven distinct risks, declared the bankers: A risk as to the date, risk as to the signature, risk as to the alteration, risk as to the filing, risk as to the stop-payment, risk as to the sufficiency of balance and risk as to the uncollected funds. For this service the bank is compelled to get something in return. In fact, it is believed that the majority of bank customers will willingly see the fairness in their bank making this small charge, and will themselves feel that they are in turn paying something for the service the bank renders them regardless of how small their checking accounts might happen to be. The Metropolitan Bank a n d Trust Company offers a service system that is on par with any in this country. Service that is worth anything is worthy of this small charge, declare the bankers. It is helping the bank to defray an extra expense, at the same time enabling it to offer even better service. TATUM'S INN TO HAVE OPENING THURSDAY Tatum's Inn, formerly the Winder House, at the corner of Charlotte and Bank streets, will have its formal opening Thursday, May 20, at which time the public is invited to visit and inspect the place. Music will be furnished by St. Joseph's High School Band from 8:30 to 11:30 p. m.

DIAL 22820 METROPOLITAN BANK TO MAKE SERVICE CHARGE Will Be On Accounts of Less Than $50.00, However, And Not $100 As Other Banks. The Metropolitan Bank a nd Trust Company announces a service charge of fifty cents per month on all active checking accounts on an average balance of less than $50.00 at the end of each calendar month on which any check has been drawn. This service charge as announced by all of the other banks of the city will be fifty cents on active checking accounts showing a balance at the end of the month of less than $100. Realizing that the economic status of the colored people is not as favorable as that of the other race group the Metropolitan has set the minimum below which a checking account at that bank may fall before the service charge starts at $50.00, in order to remove the barest possibility of working hardships upon any of its customers. Data gathered by the Associated Banks of Norfolk shows that a service charge is in effect in 42 states and 182 cities throughout the country, with a large percentage of the banks charging $1.00 per month for an average balance of less than $200.

Southern Aid Society Gets Big Response To "Appreciation Week" The executive officers, at the Home Office, at Richmond, Virginia, of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., report that premium collections and new business for the first week in May, as result of the Special Week of Appreciation by Policyholders, excelled the returns of any other week in the history of the Society. The management of this institution, which is the race's oldest Industrial Health Insurance Company, attributes the great success of the affair to the high appreciation of the policyholders for the superior protection and service of the Society, to the splendid co-operation of its efficient field staff and the effect of good publicity carried in the Journal and Guide and other weeklies. The officers and employees of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., have built a great insurance organization by rendering the public superior service thru its unique policy, providing benefits for sickness, accident and death for one small premium. In addition to giving worthwhile insurance protection to the policy holders, this institution has also opened many doors of opportunity to the race and its enterprises, and has been an economic lever to the general business of cities and places where it conducts its business. The management is most grateful to the policy holders and public, the field staff and the newspapers for their splendid co-operation, all of which combined to make the biggest week of the Society's career.

Bell Pastor Bowling Sees No Reason on Why One Should Become Unbalanced About God. "Why do people go crazy by reason of religion? Why do certain denominations have more crazy people than others? What is the danger period in religious experience and how may it be safely passed? Who will be the next people to go crazy because of religion?" These were some of the questions put to his hearers by Rev. Richard H. Bowling in a special sermon last Sunday night on "Sanity in Religion." He declared that specific answers to such questions had better be left to the psychiatrist, since he would be regarded as an impartial observer and would make known his findings to the parties concerned privately. Continuing he said, "The abiding solution for the problem of 'being off in religion' is proposed by Paul in 1 Cor. 12:1-14:39. We must square a particular experience or gift with commonsense, which teaches the need of many members for one physical body. We must cultivate love which is the mother of the more useful gifts and the prerequisite to genuineness in all other spiritual possessions and attainments. It is love that makes possible the tolerance spoken of in 1 Cor. 19:30. 'Desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.' Put your whole self, reasoning powers as well as feelings, into every vigorous exercise. Self-con- GOD IS STEADY "Underlying the concrete suggestions of the solution proposed by the apostle is a reasonable basis, the nature of God. 'God is not a God of confusion, but of peace,' says our text. More and more we are learning this truth. God as revealed in nature is not erratic and subject to varying moods, but purposeful. We have learned that God does not reserve lightnings for taking a shot at enemies, but for cosmic good regardless of man's moral outlandishness. We have learned that epidemics are not scourges sent upon whole populations as God fittely casts aside mercy and visits wrath, but one of his provisional means of deterrence from filth and squall. We have learned that God does not create worlds by fire and then leave them to run themselves until he gets ready to take charge by some mechanistic catastrophe, but that he is immanent in his work and is at work everlastingly.

Walker, converted gambler of New York City who preached a most profound and eloquent sermon at Bank Street Baptist Church last Sunday morning, is preaching in a series of services each night at Second Calvary Baptist Church, this week. He will preach there through next week. Dr. Walker is acclaimed one of the most effective pulpit orators in America. He has filled the pulpits of most of the large churches of the country and has stirred hundreds to turn into the path of rectitude. He has traveled in Spain, England, France, Russia, Ireland, Germany and South America; is a profound student of men and of the Bible and knows how to preach the latter to the former. His past experiences with gamblers and the sporting element prove a great success from evil to good. Dr. Walker was born in Burgaw, N. C. and is the son of W. H. and Mary Jane Walker. For ten years he conducted a gambling house in New York City. He obtained his education in the schools of New York, and now preaches as practical, instructive and constructive Gospel as ever heard. thus not only in nature. God in Christ is a God of peace and not of confusion. Can you imagine Jesus visiting protracted meetings and singing and praying in public until he went into tongues? Can you imagine him losing control of himself so as not to be able to direct his followers in the midst of an excited situation? Can you imagine talking to religious inquiers and trying to sing and pray them into religious frenzy as a sign of spiritual visitation? "If God and Christ can be self-controlled and sensible, I. like Paul, can see no reason why we need seek to be otherwise. Those who will not seek to live in accord with the laws of reason as revealed in Jesus will be breaking the laws that keep all creation in balance. To say the least, they will be in danger of breaking their minds and going crazy, even the they sin against themselves in the name of religion; for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace." CENTRAL CHURCH There will be a Talent Concert Tuesday, May 18th, at Central under the management of Messrs. Preflow and Cross. The Spelling Bee Tuesday evening given by Mrs. B. A. Cornwell was quite a success. DELTA ALPHA CLASS On Wednesday night of this week, the Delta Alpha Class of St. John's A. M. E. Sunday school gave a banquet in honor of the mothers of its members in the lecture room of the church. T h e several speeches made were timely and enjoyable, after which an impressive candle light service by six members of the class were given; the guests were also, Mrs. L. L. Berry, Mrs. Hueles, of the Y. W. C. A., and Supt. of the Sunday school, Mr. Jas, M. Collins. The affair was unique and the mothers were pleased beyond expression. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The early sunrise prayer meeting led by Deacon H. I. Clark was a fervent and spiritual one. Quite a number was present. Someone has said, "God could not be everywhere so he made MOTHERS." This being Mothers' Day every person wore a flower expressing the significance of the occasion. The Sunday school rendered a unique program in keeping with the day. At the hour for preaching the pastor, Rev. R. H. Bowling, took as a befitting text John 2:12, subject: "The Mother of Jesus." He elegantly portrayed the character life of Mary, t he mother of Jesus. He spoke of a mother's love, devotion and loyalty to her children under all circumstances, and the children's ways in expressing their love and gratitude for life's greatest influence—MOTHER. In keeping with the spirit of the day, the B. Y. P. U. also paid homage to MOTHER. Rev. J. N. Fuller gave an address on "OUR LOVE FOR MOTHER." Quite a crowd turned out in the evening to hear the pastor on the subject: "Sanctuary, religion, not hell." 138 This was a lightening sermon on self-control in religious services. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE CROSSFIELD KER AT BIG S MEETING Minister Will Be At street Baptist Church half of Joint Sunday Sunday being quarterly meeting the presiding elder filled the pulpit morning and evening.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Berkley Ave.) The Woman's Day program at the First Baptist Church was a crowning success. Everyone asked to be on was at her post and did exceptionally well. In the morning Mrs. John Riddick and Mrs. Blanche Kelly Bailey read most practical papers on the responsibilities of mothers. R e v. Diamond eloquently delivered a sermon on women. At 3 p. m., Mrs. U. S. Cold, Mrs. Elinora Deans, Misses Addie and Susie Robinson, Miss Nancy Hughes, Mrs. Rebecca Molley, Mrs. Geraldo Reed, Mrs. John Parr, Miss Madison, Miss Madison, Mrs. J. Churchill were present and each held the audience in a spell. At 7:20, Miss Wanser Bagnall, Miss Florence Reid, Miss Lucy Miller, Mrs. Louise Clanton again held the audience as in a spell. The female chorus deserves great credit, they sang the most wonderful songs of praise at each meeting without tiring. The double quartette and the trio did their whole duty and also held the audience spell bound. The church and committee wish to thank, Mrs. Delia Huck, Mrs. Eva Archer Floyd, Miss Mary Bowling, Mrs. Green, Miss Virginia Swain, Mrs. Gertrude Moss and Mrs. Carrie Philips for their wonder service rendered and, all who made it possible for the women to raise $166.00.

CHAPTER VI WHET were married the following May, just two months later. Seema was at once bewildered and rebellious and content. Overlying these emotions was something the gimn amusement. Beneath them, something like fright. She moved with a strange air of fatality. It was as if she were being drawn in increasingly, against her will, her judgement, her plans, into something sweet and tender, and one elated, gay, voluble, fabled little; looked, at her really, worthwhile. There were days when the feeling of certainty possessed her. She, a hard farmer's wife, living in High Ridge the rest of her days! Why, no! No! Was this the great admixture that her father had always been of? She, who was going to be a happy wayfarer down the pane, was not the high Prairie winter was to be there only an episode. Not her she. Looked at Mantje. Oh, and never be like that. That was dress, unnecessary. Pink and blue dress in the house, for her. Frills in the window curtains. Flowers in bowls. Some of the pangs and terrors with which most prospective brides are assured she confided to Mrs. Frill while that active lady was running about the kitchen. "Did you ever feel scared and—and of-scared when you thought about marry, Mrs. Pool?" Marble Pool's hands were in the best batch of bread dough which pummeled and slapped and drenched vigorously. She shook out handful of flour on the baking bowl while she held the dough mass in the other hand, then slumped it down and again began knead, both hands doubled into one she laughed a short little laugh, I ran away. "Too did! You mean you really ask! Why? Didn't you go—like Marble Pool kneaded briskly, the high in her cheeks, what with the rigorous pummeeling and rolling, and something else that made her strangely young for the mournful—girlish, almost. "Sure I liked him. I liked him." "But you ran away?" "Not far, I came back. Nobody nor knew I ran, even. But I ran, "Why did you come back?" I married elucidated her philoso- gacy without being in the least matter that it could be called by such high-sounding name. "You can run away far enough. Ex- pensive stop living you can't run away from me." The glish look had fled. She was world-old. Her strong arms stretched their pounding and thump- ing for a moment. On the outside: Klaas and Jakob were cunning the weekly reports pre- tectors to going into the city late afternoon. Selina had the difficult task of bringing Roelf to her all over again. She was like a trusting little anil and wounded by the hound he trusted, is shy of it. Still, she did not withstand her long. To them they dug and planted flower and Pervus' dingy front yard. It was too late for tulips now. Pervus had brought her some seeds to tomato. They ranged all the bits from popples to asters; from pots to morningglories. The name was used to form the back vine, the case, because they were quickly, Selina, city-bred, the ignorant of articles, but in addition, she wanted an old-fashioned ladies, marigolds, mignonettes, phlox. She and Roele dug, planted. Her trouser was of the scanty Pervus' household was all accompanied with such linning as they would need. The question of a wedding gown troubled her until Maartie suggested that she be married in the old Dutch wedding dress that lay in the bride's chest in Selina's bedroom. "A real Dutch bride," Maartie said. "Your man will think that fine. I will deliver it. She built this love like a kitten in the sun. She was, after all, a very lonely little bride with only two photographs on the shelf in her bedroom to give her courage and counsel. The old Dutch wedding gown was many inches too large for her. The skirt-band overlapped her sleeve waist. It little bobble did not put the gown's depth of the bodice; but the effect of the whole was amazingly ominant as well as pathetic. They were married at the Pool's. Klass and Maartje had insisted on furnishing the wedding supper—ham, chickens, sausages, cakes, pickles, beer. The Reverend Dekker married them, and all through the ceremony Selina chided herself because she could not keep her mind on his words in the fascination of watching his short, stubby beard as it wagged with every motion of his jaw. Pervus looked stiff, solemn and uncomfortable in his wedding blacks—not at all the handsome giant of the everyday corduroys and blue shirt. In the midst of the ceremony Selina her moment of panic she actually saw her husband shrieking this company, this man, his house, down the road, on, on, onward—toward what? The feeling was so strong that she was surprised to find herself still standing there in the Dutch wedding gown answering "I do" in the proper place. After the wedding they went straight to DeJong's house. In May the vegetable farmer cannot neglect his garden even for a day. The house had been made ready for them. Throughout the supper Selina had had thoughts which were so foolish and detached as almost to alarm her. "Now I am married. I am Mrs. Pervus DeJong. That's a pretty name. It would look quite distinguished on a calling card, very spidery and fine: "MRS. PERVUS DE JONG At Home Fridays." She recalled this later, grimly, when she was Mrs. Perus DeLong, at home not only Fridays, but Saturdays Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. They drove down the road to DeJong's place. Selina thought, "Now I am driving home with my husband. I feel his shoulder against mine. I wish he would talk. I wish he would say something. Still, I am not frightened." Pervus' market wagon was standing in the yard, shafts down. He should have gone to market today; would certainly have to go tomorrow, starting early in the afternoon so as to get a good stand in the Haymarket. By then he seemed to Selina lutenet the man he seemed to beabul. She had often seen it before, but now that it was to be a part of her life—this the DeJong market wagon and she Mrs. DeJong—she saw clearly what a cray, disreputable and poverty-prochainold vehicle it was, in contrast with the neat strong wagon in Klaus Pool's yard, smarter than she announced, and red brighter than the Pool. Gurden Produce" With the two sleek farm horses the turnout looked as prosperous and comfortable as Klaus himself. Pervus swung her down from the seat of the buggy, his hand about her wrist, and held her so for a moment, close, and then must wag the wagon painted, Perch. And the seat-springs fixed and the sideboard mended." He stared. "Wagon!" "Yes. It looks a sight." The house was tidy enough, but none too clean. Pervus lighted the lamps. There was a fire in the kitchen stone. It made the house seem stuffy on this mild May night. Selina thought that her own little bedroom at the Pool's, no longer hers, must be delicuously cozy still with the breeze fanning fresh from the west. Pervus was putting the horse into the barn. The bedroom was off the sitting room. The bedroom shut. This last year had caught Selina to prepare the night before for next morning's rising, so as to lose the least possible time. She did this now, unconsciously. She brushed her hair, laid out tomorrow's garments, put on her high-necked, long-sleeved nightgown and got into this strange bed. She heard Devon DeJong shut the kitchen door; the latch clung to lock turned. Heavy kick-foot steps across the kitchen floor. This man was coming into the room. "You can't run far enough," Marjie Pool had said. "Except you stop living you can't go away from life." Next morning it was dark when he awakened her at four. She started up with a little cry and sat up, straining her ears, her eyes. "Is that you, father?" She was little Selina Peake again, and Simone Peake had come in, gay debonair, from a nightclub. Pervus Vaur was already padding about the room in stocked feet, what time is it? What's the matter, father? Why are you up? Haven't you gone to bed. . . . Then she remembered. Pervus DeJong laughed and came toward her. "Get up, little lazy bones. It's after four. All yesterday's work I've got to do, and all today's. Breakfast, little Linn, breakfast. You are a farmer's wife now." Dirk DeJong was born in the bedroom off the sitting room on the fifteenth day of, March, of a bewildered, somewhat resentful, but deeply interested mother; and a proud, foolish, and vanglorious father whose air of achievement, considering the really slight part he had played in the long, tedious, and racking business, was disproportionate. The name to work has long straight, Sohla like something tall, straight, and slim. Pervus had chosen it. It had been his grandfather's name. Sometimes, during those months, Selma would look back on her first winter in High Prairie — that winter of the ice bedroom, the chill black drum, the schoolhouse fire, the chillbuls, the Pool pork—and it seemed a lovely dream; a time of ease, of freedom, of luckless happiness. Peruvian Dojong loved his pretty young wife, and she him. But young love thrives on color, warmth, beauty. It becomes prescute and inarticulate when forced to begin its day at four in the morning by reaching blindly, dazedly, for limp and obscure garments dangling from bedpost or chair, and to end that day at nite, numb and sadden with weariness, after seventeen hours of physical labor. It was a wet summer. Peruvian choice tomato plants, so carefully grown, to the place of a dry season, became dragged gray specters in a waste of mire. Of fruit the field bore one tomato the size of a marble. For the rest, the crops were moderately successful on the DeJong place. But the work necessary to make this so was heartbreaking. Selina had known, during her winter at the Pool's, that Klaas, Roelf, and old Jakob worked early and, late, but her months there had encompassed what is really the truck farmer's leisure period. She had arrived in November. She had married in May. From. From. From. From. To tend the fields with concentration amounting to fury. Selina had never dreamed that human beings toled like that for sustenance. Toil was a thing she had never encountered until coming to High Prulie. Now MARIE "Farm Work Grand! Farm Work Is Slave Work." she saw her husband wrenching a living out of the earth by sheer muscle, sweat, and pain. During June, July, August, and September the good black prairie soil for miles around was teening, a bathed of plenty. There was him in Selma at this time a feeling for the land that she never to lose. Perhaps the child within her had something to do with this. She was of a feeling of kinship with the earth; an illusion of spicendor, of fulfillment. As cabbages had been cabbages, and no more, to Kinaas Pool, so, to Pervus, these carrotts, beets, onions, turnips and radishes were just as much produce, to be planted, tended, gathered, marketed. But to Selina, during that summer, they became a vital part in the vast mechanism of a living world. Pervus, earth, sun, rain, all elemental forces that labored to produce the food for millions of humans. She thought of Chicago's children. If they had cheeks, clear eyes, clear teeth, it was because they brought them it was because they made them so. Something of this she tried to convey to Pervus. He only stared, his blue eyes wide and unresponsive. "Farm work grand! Farm work is slave work. Yesterday, from the load of carrots in town I didn't make enough to bring you the goods for the child so when it comes you should have clothes for it. It's better I feed them to the live stock." Perus drove into the Chicago market every other day. During July and August he sometimes did not have his clothes off for a week. Together he and I would spend the day's garnering. At four he would start on the tedious trip into town. The historic old Haymarket on West Randolph street had become the stand for market gardeners for miles around Chicago. Here they stationed their wagons in preparation for the next day's selling. The early comers got the advantageous stand. There was no regular allotment of space. Perus tried to reach the Haymarket by nine at night. Often had roads made a deliberate turn. That usually meant business next day. The men, for the most part, slept on their wagons, curled up on the wagon seat or stretched out on the sacks. Their horses were stabled and fed in near-by sheds, with more actual comfort than the men themselves. One could get a room for twenty-five cents in one of the ramshackle rooming houses that faced NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE the street. But the rooms were small, stuffy, none too clean; the beds little more comfortable than the wagons. Besides, twenty-five cents. You got twenty-five cents for half a barrel of tomatoes. You got twenty-five cents for a stack of potatoes. You bought a lemon brought seventy-five cents a sack. Cabbages went a hundred heads for two dollars, and they were five-pound heads. If you drove home with ten dollars in your pocket it represented a profit of exactly zero. The sum must go above that. No; one did not pay out twenty-five cents for the more privilege of steeping in a bed. One June day, a month or more after their marriage, Selina drove into Chicago with Perus, an incongruous little figure in her brides' finery perched on the seat of her car. She woke up early garden stuff. It was, in a way, their wedding trip, for Selina had not been away from the farm since her marriage. arried for lack Roelel came often to He found there a tran peace never known to place, with its hubbub.

She would a tried her hand at the o house with a quart cup vened. She hammed tins, made slip-covers, eous parlor sofa and the chairs. Subscribe As they jogged along now she revealed magnificent plans that had been forming in her imagination during the past four weeks. It had not taken her four weeks—or days—to discover that this great broad-shouldered man she had married was a kindly creature, tender and good, but lacking in testosterone. She was careless, sometimes, at the memory of his boldness in hiding for her lunch box that evening at the rattle. It seemed incredible now, though he frequently referred to it, wagging his head doggishly and grinning the broadly complacent grin of the conquering male. But he was, after all, a dull fellow, and there was in him a kindness of wickedness of adventure, that he never quite understood. For her flushes of flame he had a mingled feeling of uneasiness and pride. In the manner of all young brides, Selina started bravely out to make her husband over. He was handsome, strong, gentle; slow, conservative, morose. She would make him keen, darling, successful, buoyant, and strong. On the road, she sketched some of her plans in large, dashing strokes. "Pervus, we must palat the house in October, before the frost sets in, and after the summer work is over. Then that west sixteen. We'll drain it." Wah, drain." Pervus muttered. "It's clay hand. Drain and you got yet clay. Hard clay soil." Selina had no answer to that. "I know it. You've got to use the drainage. And—wait a minute—humus. I know what humus is. It's decayed vegetables. There's always a pile by the side of the barn; and you've been using it on the quick land. The west sixteen isn't clay. Port of it's mudland. Clay. Port of it's mudland. With potash, too, and phosphoric acid." Pervus laughed a great hearty laugh that Selina found surprisingly infatuating. "Well, well, well! School teacher is a farmer now, buh? I bet even Widow Paarleng bern don't know as much as my little farmer about"—he exploded again—"about this, now, potnish and—what kind of acid? Tell me, little Lina, from where did you learn all this about truck farming?" "Out of a book!" Selina said, almost snappishly. "I sent to Chicago to buy a book! A book!" He slapped his knee. "A vegetable farmer out of a book." "Why not! The man who wrote it knows more about vegetable farming than anybody in all High Prairie. He knows about new ways. You're running the farm just the way your father run it." "What was good enough for my father is good enough for me." "It isn't!" cried Selina. "It isn't! The book says clay loom is all right for cabbages, peas and buns. It was a frantic little fly darting and prickling him on to accelerate the stolold sluggishness of his slow plodding gait. Pervus stared straight ahead down the road between his horse's ears much as Klaus Pool had done so maddeningly on Selina's first ride and insisted road. "Fine talk. Fine talk." "It isn't talk. It's plans. You've got to plan." "Fine talk. Fine talk." "Oil!" Selina beat her knee with an impatient fist. It was the nearest they had ever come to quarrelling. It would seem that Pervus had the best of the argument, for when two years had passed the west sixteen was still a boggy clay muss, and unprolific; and the old house stared out shubby and painless, at the dense willows by the roadside. They slept that night in one of the twenty-five-cent rooming houses. Rather, Pervus slept. The woman lay awake, wept a little, perhaps. But in the morning Pervus might have noted (if he had been a man given to noticing) that the fine jaw was set as determinedly as ever the inevitable paint, drainage, humus, potash, phosphoric acid, and a horse team. She rose before four with Pervus, glad to be out of the stuffy little room with its spotted and scaly green wall paper, its rickety bed and chair. They had a cup of coffee, and a slice of bread in the eating house, on the first floor. Sellina waited while he tended the horse. It was scarcely dawn when the trading began. Sellina, watching it from the wagon sent, thought that this was a ridiculously haphazard meal. She tended to attributing the food for whose fruition Pervus had toiled with aching back and tired arms. But she said nothing. She kept, perforce, to the house that first year, and the second. Perus declared that his woman should never work in the fields as did many of the High Prairie wives and daughters. Selina learned much that first year, and the second, but she said but little. She kept the woman endless—and she managed, miraculously, to keep herself jooking fresh and neat. She understood now Maartje Pool's drab garments, harassed face, heavily swift feet, never at rest. The idea of flowers in bowls was abandoned by July. Had it not been for Roelf's faithful tending, the flower-beds themselves, planted with such hopes, would **arried for lack of care.** Belfast came often to the house. He found there a tranquility and peace never known in the Pool place, with its hubbub and elater. In order to make her house attractive Selina had actually rifled her precious little bank hoard—the four hundred and ninety-seven dollars she her father. She still had one of the which she kept. She kept it sewed in the hem of an old funnel petitcour. The can of white paint and the brush actually did materialize. For weeks it was dangerous to sit, leap, or truss upon any paintable thing in the DeJong farmhouse without eliciting a cry of warning from Selina. She would actually have tried her hand at the outside of the can, and a three-inch brush If Perwyn can and a three-inch veneed. She hemmed dinty curtains, made slip-covers for the hideous parlor sofa and the ugliest of the chairs. Subscribed for a magazine called House and Garden. Together she and Roelf used to pore over this fascinating periodical. If High Prairie had ever overheard one of these conversations between the farm woman who would always be a girl and the farm boy who would have raised palms high in an "Og heden" of horror. But High Prairie never heard, and wouldn't have understood if it had. Sellina was up daily at four Dressing was a swift and mechanical covering of the body. Breakfast must be ready for Pervus and Jan when they came in from the barn. The house to clean, the chickens to tend, sewing, washing, ironing, cooking. She contrived ways of minimizing her steps, of lightening how the little farm was mismanaged through lack of foresight, imagination, and—she faced it squirrelly—through stupidity. She was fond of this great, kindly, blustering, stubborn boy who was her husband. But she saw him with amazing clearness through the mists of her love. There was something prophetic about the way she began to absorb knowledge of the farm work, of vegetable culture, of marketing. Listening, seeing, she learned about soil, planting, weather, selling, the daily talks of the house, of nothing else. About this little twenty-five-acre garden patch there was nothing of the majesty of the Iowa, Illinois and Kansas grain farms, with their endless billows of wheat and corn, afrafa and barley rolling away to the horizon. Everything was done in diminutive here. Sellina sensed that every inch of soil should have been made to yield to the utmost. Yet there lay the west sixteen, useless during most of the year, reliable never. And there was no money to buy it. For the purchase of profitable neighboring acreage. She did not know the term intensive farming, but this was what she meant. During that winter she was often hideously lonely. She never got over her hunger for companionship. Here she was, a gregarious and fun-loving creature, buried in a snowbound Illinois prairie farmhouse with a husband who looked upon conversation as a convenience, not a pastime. She learned much that winter about the utter soridiness of farm life. She rarely saw the Pools she rarely saw any one outside her own little household. The front room—the parlor—was usually cold, but sometimes she used to slip in, a shawl over her shoulders, and sit at the frosty window to watch for a wagon on her chance pedestrian on the road. She did not pity herself, nor regret her step for a child-bearing woman; and Pervus was tender, kindly, sympathetic, not if always understanding. She struggled gallantly to keep up the small decencies of existence. She loved the glow of Pervus' eyes when she appeared with a bright ribbon, a fresh collar, though he said nothing, and perhaps she only fancied that he noticed. Once or twice she had walked the mille and a half of slippery road to the Pools, and had sat in Mairtje's warm, bright, bustling kitchen for comfort. Where was adventure now? And where was life? And where the love of chance bred in her by her father? The two years following Dirk's birth were always somewhat vague in Selina's mind, like a dream in which horror and happiness are inextricably blended. The boy was a plump, hardy infant. He had his father's blond exterior, his mother's brunette vincency. At two he was a child of average intelligence, sturdy physique and marked good humor. He almost never cried. He was just twelve months old when Selina's second child—a girl was born dead. Twice during his two years Pervus fell victim to his so-called rheumatic attacks following the early spring planting when he was often forced to stand in water up to his ankles. He suffered intensely, and his illness was as tractioned as a gouged bull. He was convinced why half of High Prairie was bent and twisted with rheumatism—why the little Dutch Reformed church on Sunday morning resembled a shrine to which the stek and crippled pilgrims creep. Selina had been married almost three years when there came to her a letter from Julie Hempel, now married. The letter had been sent to the Klasa Pool farm and Jozina had brought it to her. Seated on her kitchen steps in her calico dress she read it. "Darling Selina:— "I thought it was so queer that you didn't answer my letter, and now I know that you must have thought it queer that I did not answer yours. I found your letter to me, written long ago, when I was going over mother's things last week. It was the letter you must have written when I was in Kansas City. Mother had never given it to me. Mamma died three weeks ago. Last week I was going over her things—a thing task, you may imagine—and there were your two letters addressed to me. She had never destroyed them. Poor mamma. "Well, dear Belina, I suppose you don't even know that I am married. I married Michael Arnold of Kansas City. The Arrow House." packing business there. you know. Michael has gone into business with pa here in Chicago, and I suppose you have heard of pa's success. Just all of a sudden he began to make a great deal of money after he left the butcher business and went into the yards—the stock yards, you know. Poor mamma was so happy these last few years, and had everything that was beautiful. I have two children—Engene and Pauline. "I am getting to be quite a society person. You would laugh to see me. I am on the ladies' entertainment committee of the World's fair. We are supposed to entertain all the visiting big bugs—that is the lady bugs. There! Hoy is in it." I suppose you know about the Infanta Eulala. Of Spain, you know. And what she did about the Potter Palmer ball. . . ." Selina, the letter in her work-stained hand, looked up and across the fields and away to where the prullo met the sky and closed in on her; her world. The Infanta Eulalia of Spain. . . She went back to the letter. "Well, she came to Chicago for the fair and Mrs. Potter Palmer was to give a huge reception and ball for her. Mrs. P. is head of the whole committee, you know, and I must say she looks queenly with her white hair, so beautifully dressed and so colorful on her neck velvet and well. Well, at the very last minute the Infanta refused to attend the ball because she had just heard Mrs. P. was an inkeeper's wife. Imagine! The Palmer house, of course." Selina, holding the letter in her hand, imagined. It was the third year of Selina's marriage that she first went into the C. C. C. She Would Take Dirk With Her Into the Field, Placing Him on a Heap of Empty Sacks in the Shade. fields to work. Pervus had protested miserably, though the vegetables were spoiling in the ground. Sellina had regulated health and vigor after two years of wretchedness. She felt stifle-strong and even hopeful again, sure sign of physical well-being. Long before now she had realized that this time must inevitably be. So she answered brisly, "Nonsense, Pervus. Working in the fields no harder than washing or boiling or serving them, standing over a hot stove in August. Women's work! Housework's the hardest work in the world. That's why men won't do it." She would often take the boy Disk with her into the Beds, placing him on a heap of empty sacks in the shade. He invariably crawled off this lowly throne to dig and burrow in the warm, black dirt. He even made as though to help his mother, pulling at the rooted things with fittle fidgets, and sitting back with a bump when a shallow root did unexpectedly yield to his tugging. "Look! He's a farmer already," Pervus, would say. So two years went—three years—four. In the fourth year of Selina's marriage she suffered the loss of her one woman friend in High Primate. Marjane Pool died in childbirth, as was so often the case in this region where a Gampish midwife acted as obstetrician. The child, too, had not lived. Death had not been kind to Marjane Pool. It had brought neither peace nor youth to her face, as it often does. Selina, looking down at the strangely still figure that had beer and beetles, collapsed for the rest. The years she had known her she was seeing Marjane Pool at rest. It seemed incredible that she could lie there, the infant in her nirus, while the house was filled with people and there were chairs to be handled, space to be cleared, food to be cooked and served. Sitting there with the other High Primate women Selina had a hideous feeling that Marjane would suddenly rise up and take things in charge; rub and scratch with capable fingers the spatters of dried mud of Klasa Pool's black trousers (he had been in the yard to see the horses); quiet the Tool and waving hands; handful of Rool's wide-staring eyes, wipe the film of dust from the parlor table that had never known a speck during her regime. "You can't run far enough," Maartje said. "Except you stop living you can't run away from life." Well, she had run far enough this time. Roelf was sixteen now, Geertje twelve, Jozina eleven. What would this household do now, Selina wondered, without the woman who had been so faithful a slave to it? Who would keep the pigtails—no longer gigling—in clean gingham and decent square-toed shoes? Who, when Klaas broke out in rumbling Dutch wrath against what he would unmurmur, would say "Qo, Pool. We have the boy alone once. He does nothing." Who would Business Men Organize State Banking, Insurance And Fraternal Association Group Meets In Richmond And Perfects Organization To Bring Business Men of Vorginia Closer Together. Upon the call of M. C. Martin, cashier of the Savings Bank of Danville, Danville, Va., a group of business men allied with banks, insurance companies and fraternal organizations met in Richmond on April 15 last and organized a State Banking, Insurance and Fraternal Association.

BELLS MILL Bells Mills, Va.-Rev. C. G. Moore, pastor of Lee's Chapel. A. M. E. preached the annual thanksgiving sermon for the Intellectual Lodge 4848. and Israel Hope No. 1755, of Bell's Mills; Cool Spring No. 7403 and Household of Ruth of Tuxedo, Va., Grand United Order of Old Fellows Sunday at Lee's Chapel. Rev. Moore's sermon was a beautiful outline of the importance of applying the cardinal Kop Kipn Tinself in order; cook his meals, wash his clothes, from his shirts, take a pride in the great, ruddy childlike giant? Khanas answered these questions just nine months later by marrying the Widow Paarlengberg. High Prairie was rocked with surprise. For months this marriage was the talk of the district. So insistable was High Prairie's curiosity that every scrap of news was swallowed by the crowd. The round of Roof's flight from the farm, no one knew where, it served only as sauce to the great dish of goosin. Sellina had known. Pervus was away at the market when Roelf had knocked at the farmhouse door one night at eight, had turned the knob and entered, as usual. But there was nothing of the usual about him. He was his best suit—his first suit of store clothes, bought at the time of his mother's funeral. It never had fitted him, now it was grotesquely small for him. He had shot up amazingly the last eight, or nine months. Yet there was nothing of the ridiculous about him as he stood there before her no less, then duck. He put down his cheap yellow suitcase. "Well, Roelf?" "I am going away. I couldn't stay." She nodded. "Where?" "Away. Chicago maybe." He was terribly moved, so he made his tone casual. "They came home last night, and they books that long to you." He made as though to open the suitcase. "No, no. Keep them." "Good-by." "Good-by, Roelf." She took the boy's dark head in her two hands and, standing on tiptoe, kissed him. He turned to go. "Wait a minute. A minute." He had few dollars and times, half dollars—perhaps ten dollars in all—hidden away in a canister on the shelf. She reached for it. But when she came back with the box in her hand he was gone.

How lodge came into existence so up in the life of Negro Elkdom is stated. Dr. Welcome T. Jones came News in 1894, and established himself in the practice of his profession. He assisted himself with a very conscientious class of young men, and in 1898 he read that a B. F. Covington, Ky., had received the ritual and works of R. P. O. E., he conceived the idea that it would be a great thing to his friends. He there wrote Mr. Howard concern the Order but, as the Spanish-American War broke out, the matter was temporarily dropped. The year after the close of the war he wrote again, in going to directions of an organized club which was initiated and received its charter May 25, 1900. Twenty-five years later it has grown a handful to a lodge of 600 members, it has dispensed charity, and justly and in brotherly love, has owned two homes—one a nine-story, the other an eleventh-building which was valued at $20,000. The officers who first ruled the or follows: were to be Tornado. Wyatt Roane, Exalted Ruler. W. T. Jones, Estceemed Lead- er. B. F. Jackson, Estemed Loyal G. C. Pugh, Estemed Lecturing Knight. G. C. P. Rowlett, Esquire. Wesley Baney, Chaplain. Phillip Brown, Treasurer. J. W. Preman, Secretary. J. W. Coleman, Inner Guard. Issac Green, Tyler. J. J. Chandler, Master of Social Sessions. These officers have been suced by the most efficient men available, by their uniting efforts have placed the lodge among the greatest. In times of stress and stress the Grand Lodge had always to Pandora for sucer drawing from its members to in high councils in the Grand Lodge, and although the Order had to birth in Ohio, yet it was Virgin that nurtured it in its infant and is still supporting it in its adolescence. This is the lodge that invites the Grand Lodge to its hospitalities. We have made great efforts to entertain you, and we feel assured that when you have sojourned with us for a few days, we will return to your homes with a conviction that Pandora allows No. 2 in the list of lodges, which it stands at the top of the list as an entertainer. The State Grand Lodge of Elks is in Newport News, May 17-19, time to Pandora and enjoy yourselves. Newport News, Va.—The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows held their Thanksgiving service Sunday at the Trinity Baptist Church Christinat avenue. Mr. Jeremiah with was master of ceremonies. The speaker of the day was Mr. I. Palmer, whose subject was: "Principles of Odd Fellowship," F. H. Ashby preached the Thanksgiving sermon to a crowded house. LETTER CARRIERS MEET The News Letter News Letter Carriers' Association met with Mr. A. A. Harris' in its regular monthly meeting on last Friday night. President, A. J. Smith, presided over much business was transacted. The Association is preparing to contain the State Association in an annual session which meets in August. It is hoped to make this summer session and the public aware to assist in making the citizens welcome to the city by mail. At the conclusion of the business session, Mrs. Harris assisted by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Abbott Says, served a delicious must which was enjoyed by the members, and by request of the president, Mr. W.

Among the many things this discourse brought out in the sermon that Jesus loves us we love him and so does more love before we love her we know how to love her. Moth- er love follows the child where- it may go just as Jesus' love He told of the many ways that the two loves and been tested had been found in steadfast the end. After this W. A.

The chief objection to balloon trousers is that they always seem inadequately inflated. Sometimes it is better to love and lose than to marry and run the risk of becoming a target. An undesirable alien is one who says about our government the things that good Americans think. She isn't really a hopeless old maid until she develops a mania for running other people's affairs. The wild ass is hunted in some countries, but in America they don't even take away his license to drive. Commercial Growth of the Nation Every reader of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE can take pride in the commercial and financial position which the United States has attained to, as each reader has in his place and way contributed his share towards the grand totality. The Department of Commerce has issued its four annual international trade balance statement, in which Secretary Hoover points out that the international transactions for 1924 are around $6,800,000,000, a gain of $800,000,000 in the year, showing, as the Secretary says, "very strikingly the enormously increasing importance of our foreign commercial and financial relations." Again, we are among the greatest of creditor nations, our outstanding foreign holdings now amounting to $10,400,000,000. These are staggering figures, and show in their way the wealth and strength of the Nation. As much is given us much is expected of us and we should be a good and generous as a rich and strong Nation. Our Only Air Woman Meets Tragic Death There was general regret among us on learning of the tragic death of Miss Bessie Coleman, of Chicago, our only aviatrix, at Jacksonville, Fla., Friday morning, April 30, when her machine crashed to earth. after somersaulting 2,000 feet from the air. She died instantly; so did her young whites pilot, William D. Wills, of Dallas, Texas, whose body was incinerated because of the ignition of gasoline fumes from a match a bystander struck to light a cigarette. The bystander was certainly not much excited by the tragedy. It was early in the morning when the tragedy took place, and only one person is said to have witnessed it, a Mrs. Meadows on whose farm the machine fell. Miss Coleman was a very daring aviatrix and not only enjoyed a national reputation but was well-known in Europe. She was regarded as an unusual woman because of her success in navigating the air, one of the things women have not rushed into. And Afro-Americans have not taken to the air as they have other adventurous occupations in the new development, which would indicate that they are not much of the bird race, but mostly of the earth, landsmen. Hubert Julian is the only man among us who has made any pretentions to being a birdman, but of his efforts to get far from the hop-off point have met with disaster, notably his hop off for Africa some time ago, and he is now, we understand, a shoe salesman in New York's Harlem. Whether they take it or not, Miss Coleman has taught our women that they can navigate the air, and like all pioneers she has built her own monument. Will the Democratic South Swallow Gov. Smith? Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, is one of the outstanding Democrats of the Nation. He is in a class with Gov. Ritchie, of Maryland and Gov. Brewster, of Maine, all of whom were commanding figures in the last National Democratic convention and possible nominees for the Presidency. Gov. Smith led the procession, but the Southern Democratic delegates would have none of him because he is of foreign Irish Parentage, a Catholic and a big man in Tammany Hall, three things the Southern Democrats have not much liking for. But Gov. Smith persists as a National Democrat. When Mayor Walker went South during the winter and was a guest of the Atlanta Democrats, it was generally heralded that Gov. Smith was out to conciliate the Southern Democrats. They had it then in the newspaper slang of the day that Gov. Smith was "out to sell himself for the Presidency". The announcement just now that Gov. Smith will be the 4th of July orator at Monticello, the Virginia home of Thomas Jefferson, has revived the talk that he is bidding for Southern Democratic support for the Presidential nomination in 1928. Is he? And will the Southern Democrats accept him? He may be, as the craze to be President is hard to shake off when it once gets hold of a man, but we doubt if the Southern Democrats will accept him. He is too clean cut an American to suit the Southern Democratic statesmen of whom Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, has become the spokesman. College Football Condemned College football has grown to be such a popular sport that it is difficult to imagine its discontinuance. A Cambridge, Mass, dispatch, however, relates that "drastic changes in the present system of intercollegiate football are urged in the current bulletin of the American Association of University Professors". The game as it is now conducted is condemned as conducive to drinking, gambling and dishonesty, and tending to distort values and obscure the real purposes of a college education. This is a very severe arraignment and would call loudly for the reforms demanded by the committee headed by Prof. Ernest W. Wilkins, of the University of Chicago. Two plans to remedy existing conditions are proposed. One would limit one college to schedule only four games a season with opponents in its own class and vicinity, while the other plan would limit participation of students in intercollegiate football to one year. College sports are undergoing a severe scrutiny by those charged with the education of the youth of the country, and the claim is made in many quarters that the time given to college sports is affecting injuriously the scholarship and the morals of students. There has been positive gain in the physical growth from college sports, but if this has been at the expense of good scholarship and morals of the students, drastic reform becomes a matter of necessity. We are very proud of our college football teams and we hope that their activities will result in higher scholarship and good morals rather than in lowering them in any way. Demand for Dutch Farmers for the South The five hundred bankers of Texas have promised to discourage loans to farmers who confine their operations to raising cotton, the purpose being to encourage the raising of home supplies, is supplemented after a fashion by Mr. Hugh MacRae, of Wilmington, N. C., who is seeking to get Congress to so modify the immigration restrictions as to let in Dutch and Danish farmers, who have done so much to develop the agricultural possibilities of the Northwest. He thinks they are the greatest farmers in the world. He says: "Spreading a thousand or so families throughout the South would go an immeasurable distance in teaching the native and Negro farmers how to see beyond the cotton stage." Perhaps; but if the "Negro" is not "a native" of the South what in the blazes is he "a native" of? In the last analysis the South will have to depend upon its native white and black farmers for the development of the splendid agricultural resources it possesses, and the returns begin to show that farm education and demonstration work is being encouraged by the States and the Federal Government and it is bringing forth good results. Diversifying the crops, having more farm animals and fowls, and saving the soil by proper fertilization and rotation of crops, will do much to remedy any disadvantages which now exist and which the wise men of the South are striving to overcome. Farm Demonstration work, say, in Virginia, has worked wonders among Negro farmers, who are rapidly getting the hang of the new ways of farming. Time to Polish Up Presently the commencement orator will come into his own. Even now between 2,000 or 3,000 eminent citizens in various callings and professions all over the country are revising the notes or manuscripts of last year's address which, according to the fondly preserved newspaper clipping, "elicited profound attention and genuine applause at the Oak Ridge High School's 28th commencement." Before the 500,000 or more youngsters who graduate next month from high schools, colleges and universities can be duly inspired by the oratorical flights, the inspirers will want to touch up the weak spots in their addresses, insert an appropriate story here and there, or bring an old one up to date. The more timid speakers will memorize their talks wholly or in part; the more fastidious ones will practice an effective gesture or two, and the old war-horses will trust to luck and the enthusiasm which have carried them safely through so many times. The commencement orator today has a wider field than he once had. He has more to sell to the graduate than was the case a time ago. In those days, for instance, when the graduate was to be assured that the world would go to the dogs but for his kindly intervention, we had only Rome and Greece to point to as an example. I inevitably every orator had finally to turn to the sad fate of these two nations. Today the situation has changed. There is little need to go back to Greece and Rome to inspire the graduate with determination that something is waiting out there in the world for him to do. Europe is full of fallen empires and kingdoms all waiting to be rebuilt on the more stable foundations of democracy. No need to go back to Alexander the Great or to Pericles or to Julius Caesar or Cato. Every little European town has its hero with an imperishable name. Nor is America without heroes and grave problems to inspire graduates. Indeed, it seems as if instead of solving some of the old ones, the great war and the years that followed it have but given newer and graver problems. The commencement orator ought to have little trouble this year in getting his inspired hearers to want to roll up their sleeves and go to it. There's a lot to be done. Norfolk Journal and Guide N. A. A. C. P. Membership Campaign The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is in the midst of a campaign to obtain 5000 members. The effort deserves success. The worth of the N. A. A. C. P. as an organization militantly contending, but resorting always to the law and legal processes and enlightened public sentiment, for the civil, political and economic rights of Afro-Americans is no longer doubted by anybody. The organization is at present engaged in various legal contests requiring the expenditure of huge sums of money, and involving fundamental rights of American citizens. Upon the outcome of these contests depends much appertaining to our right to life, labor and the pursuit of happiness. But the story of the N. A. A. C. P. is not to be recounted here. That has been written by the association itself in achievements for the race, and knowledge of it can be obtained from the lips of every informed Negro. formal region. The point is: the organization must be sustained by money and memberships. It requires only an insignificant outlay by any person to give both. The membership fee is $1.00 with no monthly dues. Five hundred thousand annual memberships at $1.00 each would keep the N. A. A. C. P. treasury in a position always to fight wherever a fight is required of it. And out of our 12,000,000 population, 500,000 would be insignificant. A sense of duty should demand that every colored man and woman in Norfolk affiliate themselves with the local branch during this campaign and share the burden in the fights this organization is so often required to conduct.

BOWLING Salvation Through Character Lot the theologians split hairs as to the metaphysics of the title. But shout from the housetops of bitter experience. There is no salvation save through character. Emancipation and deliverance are not salvation. No outside force or machinery, human or Divine, is adequate to the task of salvation unaided by that developing sum total of what an individual or group is—his or its character. The result of the Civil War was the Negro's salvation you say. He was lifted from serfdom to citizenship, from lackey to legislator, from chatttelhood to peerage. His new status was sealed by Lincoln's proclamation, rectified by Constitutional amendments, vouchsedafed by Reconstruction armies backing Negro rulers with force of arms. But history reveals that we were not really saved; for we had not the inner pre-requisites to freedom. These were things beyond the power of lawmakers to confer or of physical freedom to guarantee. Understand, I do not mean to reflect on men dead and therefore defenseless. What I say concerning them I say to the present generation face to face. We are their sons and wear much the same likeness. In spite of tried and true friends, in spite of enforceable Constitutional guarantees, in spite of higher courts where justice is usually dispensed without prejudice, we, like our fathers, are not saved. And the reason is the same. There is in our group a comparative lack of certain needed qualities. We need more actual respect for character. Negro leaders who perjure themselves, who without shame rob and cheat their confiding fellows, who raid lodge, church and business institution treasures, such men have no right to be lightly excused and their offenses passed over in silence simply because they are colored. Negro school teachers who shamelessly engage in street fights and public brawls, who drink themselves drunk and commit lewdness at so-called "Bohemian Parties," who flirt with innocent school children and seduce adolescence, until their names become bywords among the common people, such degraded degenerates have no business being kept in employment simply because they are no worse than similar brutes in another race. An immoral Negro minister is not to be dealt with as an immoral Negro minister, but as an immoral minister. Such a man has no right to stand in any pulit. A dishonest Negro executive is not a dishonest Negro, but a dishonest individual. An unfit school teacher is an unfit school teacher, regardless of his or her race. Not even in the name of race solidarity can we tolerate the color line in morals and yet achieve what only morality can bring to pass. Brothers, we must first be before we can be saved. Spirit of The Press The Virginian-Pilot The Norfolk Journal and Guide—as competently edited a Negro paper as there is in the United States—thinks that the Pulitzer prize for the most disinterested and meritorious public service rendered by an American newspaper in 1925, which was awarded to the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer Sun, "could hardly have been more justly bestowed." Since the award was chiefly for valiant service in the interest of inter-racial justice, and since the Journal and Guide speaks for the best elements of our Negro population, this judgment is one that the Enquirer Sun has reason to prize. But there are prize-winners and also-rans, as witness the conclusion of the Journal and Guide's editorial: And, back to the Pulitzer medal, since the Georgia paper has won the coveted prize, we are going to take the liberty of picking the "runners-up" or "honorable mentions" on the same points ologians split hairs as to the t the title. But shout from the houseets of bitter experience. There is no salvation save through character. Emancipation and deliverance are not salvation. No outside force or machinery, human or Divine, is adequate to the task of salvation unaided by that developing sum total of what an individual or group is—his or its character. The result of the Civil War was the Negro's salvation, you say. He was which gave the Sun the first place. They are: Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News, strong contender for first honors; the Norfolk VIRGINIAN-PILOT head and shoulders with the rest, and Columbia (S. C.) State. The VIRGINIAN-PILOT prizes this inclusion among those Southern newspapers that have sensed the need of a better and more equitable inter-racial adjustment and have lent themselves to the good fight against those agencies, tendencies and practices that are making the achievement of a better inter-racial understanding difficult. We believe that not only the three newspapers that the Journal and Guide generously singles out for honorable mention along with the Pulitzer prize-winner are engaged in this fight, but most of the newspapers in Virginia and most of the larger newspapers of the Southern states. BookChat "THE WOGING OF JEZEBEL PETTY- PER" By Haldane MacFall. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, 730 Fifth Avenue New York City. Price $3.00. By mail $3.10. "PLAGING NIGGER" By Ronald Friarb. Published by the Breitano Company, Fifth Ave. and 27th Street, New York City. Price $2.00. By mail $2.10. It is interesting to note the type of English writers who h a v e lately used the Negro as material for fiction. They are all men of delicate tastes. Leonard Merrick, the novelist, with his "Quaint Companions," David Garnett, writer of fantastic tales, with "The Sailor's Return"; Renald Firbank, whose "Prancing Nigger" has been compared to Alice in Wonderland; and Haldane MacFall, author of "The Wooings of Jezebel Pettyfer," whose other works concern themselves with such subjects as "French Pastellists," and "The History of Painting." It is a compliment to the African that such men have depicted him. In America he has been used largely in burlesque. His humor has been depicted as buffoonery. Du Bose Heywood, with a poet's sensitiveness, saw the beauty and tragedy in "Porgy" and his surroundings, but no one in the United States has revealed the wit and charm of the Negro as has the Englishman. Ronald Firkbank and Haldane MacFall have written of the Negro of the British West Indies. "Prancing Nigger" is a dream of an enchanting Island in the West Indies, where the country maiden wears a garland of flowers for clothing, and where the city, like other cities, beckons and clothes, and captivates, and, at last, soils. The title is unfortunate. It leads one to expect burlesque while the book is delicate, suggestive. A scene appears only to fade away. Its laughter is fraught with pain. One's only criticism is that the book is far too short. This fault can never be laid at the door of "The Wooings of Jezebel Pettyfer," which would be better if it were shorter. It falls off at the last, and one is a little provoked to find so many interesting characters all come to a bad end. To be sure Jezebel, whose name describes her perfectly, lives triumphant, but she is continually bad. One however, is not much concerned with the story. It is the setting and the wit that makes Jezebel Pettyfer. The major part of the book is laid in Jamaica and the characters are black men of a company of Zouaves, together with the clerk and school master a n d loose women who frequent the saloon of the Negro Huckleback. Much complaint has been made by colored readers that this is not a fair picture of the West Indian Negro. Of course it is not. But what story that revolved about a soldier's life would be? It seems quite as decent a crowd as Kipling drew in "Soldiers Three," and immeasurably funnier. At times the white man obstruces himself, but not often. Moreover, the book is a reprint, having appeared first in 1897. Doubtless MacFall would see changes should he be put in command of a company of Zouaves in Jamaica today. But certainly he caught the wonderful wit, the bright imagery of the speech of the black men among whom he was thrown. Jezebel Pettifer in her delicate muslin draperies is captivating, she makes a "Lulu Belle" tawdy. Her justification of her life is too long to quote but she brings Scripture, all too convincingly, to her aid. "Appears to me de only woman wid style dat was of much account in de Scriptures, dey was almost always loose in de affeyations. * * * Dar was dat Eve herself—She don't even got de patience to wait for de Lord to settle down and create a Church-of-England clergyman to marry she, but she gits worrin' round, eatin' apples * * * and on, calling upon a galaxy of Biblical figures, women and men. Saturday, May 15, 1926 THEY ARE PASSING By KELLY MILLEP The death of Judge Robert H. Terrell, Andrew F. Hilyer and judge Robert H. F. Hilyer and William A. Sinclair, together with the retirement of the Grimke brothers re-minds us that we are now about at the end of the first generation of college-bred colored men The activities, and for most PETER B. part the education of these men centered about Howard University, and the city of Washington. The earlier graduates of colleges, whether Negro or Northern, have not been noted for great longevity. The alumni catalogues of Harvard and Yale will disclose living graduates of the early fifteens. Chaucey M. DePew, now ninety-two years of age, graduated from Yale in the class of fifty-six. So far as I can now make out there are few if any, very few Negro college men, whose diploma antedates the eighties. Only two alumni of Howard University are now living who received their diplomas prior to that date. The alumni lists of Fisk, Atlanta and Lincoln, I feel sure, will disclose equally few whose diplomas cover more than 20 years of the last century. In this connection, it might be said that these men for the most part were well on in years before they were able to complete their college course. However, it also appears that not many have reached a very great old age. The oldest living Howard graduate is now in his eighty-first year. Judge Terrell died at fifty-seven, Andrew F. Milyer at fifty-six, and William A. Sinclair at seventy-two. The Grimkes are now in their seventy-seventh and seventy-fifth years respectively. The study of the alumni catalogue of the ordinary college is like reading a list of army casualties. The necrology of Negro colleges makes a gloomy list. A surprisingly large proportion of them have been cut off in the early years of their careers. The cause of this may not be far to seek or hard to find. These men for the most part had to undergo such strenuous effort and to endure such great hardships in securing an education that their vital energies were lowered to the point of fatal weakness. The story of the struggle which many of these eager young men made for a college education would be as pathetic as their untimely taking off shortly after graduation is tragic. So far I have been speaking only of college bred men with the degree of bachelor of arts. But the same story can be told of graduates of professional schools. It is noticeable that there are very few old physicians. For the most part, the earlier practitioners have fallen on to sleep. The same is true of the lawyers and ministers of the Gospel. Every Negro physician who was practicing in Baltimore in the early ninies has passed away. There is not now practicing at the bar a single lawyer whose admission antedates the last decade of the last century. Waring, Davis, Lane, Cummings, Johnson and Dickerson whom I used to know as young promising attorneys in the Monumental city have all been gathered with their fathers. Exactly the same story can be repeated in the city of Washington. Our educated class is not long lived. I recall meeting on the streets of Washington one day a tired looking physician. I said to him jocularly that he had better stop working so hard because the colored doctor seemed to enjoy only a short span of life. After changing some good natured remarks we parted. In twenty-four hours he was a corpse. There is not a single old practitioner of medicine in the national capital. Francis, Shadd, Cook, and the others who began the practice in the eighties have long since passed off the scene of action and given way for the younger generation. These men according to the usual expectation of life would now be in ripeness of their professional experience. I stated at the National Medical Association at their meeting in Chicago last There is conjure in the book, and much thievery. But the story is tawdy. One is concerned, not with what happens but with the comments upon the happenings. It ends with this philosophy: "For meiself" said Willforce Gumme, the chemist, who had the reputation of being a thinker, "I don't hold wid wif de idea dat God made everything—I has too much respect for de Almighty. Others wise yo' is bound to lower de credit of de Creator." Importance of the Study of Modern Languages In Negro Colleges Dr. Kelly Miller recalls the passing of the patriarchs of Negro college education with a sort of sorrowful note. He shows that the lists of the universities disclose that the outstanding men of college bred of the past century have been taken off the scene of action at a time when they should have been living in a ripening experience. Negro physicians of the early eighties have nearly all gone, Dr. Miller points out, and so have the educated preachers of that period. These early deaths among the pioneers of Negro higher education are attributable, in the main, to the sacrificial struggles that were required of a colored man to pursue a college course in the early days of freedom. But the environment of the present-day college student is much more favorable than in the former generation, Dean Miller observes, which is a hopeful sign for longevity on the part of the young college breds now coming upon the scene of action. September that Doctor Purvis is the only octogenerian colored physician whom I could recall. The statement was not challenged; and he retired from the active practice a number of years ago. The Negro educated man is something comparatively new. His experiences were new. He had to venture upon an untried field. The beginning of his road was rough and rugged. Many a pioneer lost his life in blazing the way for others to follow. A deeper question naturally arises here than I am disposed to discuss in the brief limits of this release. The Negro death rate is normally higher than that of the whites. How far is this observed difference due to inherent racial disposition and how far to unfavorable environment must be left to the physician and the health expert to unravel. Many insurance companies will not take Negro risks except at an increased premium. We some times are disposed to ascribe the discrimination to race prejudice. But the companies retort that they are dealing with actual mortuary statistics on a purely scientific basis. The environment of the present-day college student is much more favorable from the healthpoint-of-view than in the former generation. The struggle for an education is not quite so strenuous. There are more parents able wholly or in good part to contribute to the education of their children. Better sanitary regulations are provided. More BY PROF. PHILIPPE BODEN Bachelier es Lettres (France) A. M. McGill University, (Canada) Head of the Department of French at Johnson C. Smith University. Prof. Kelly Miller, one of the foremost writers in America, said in his valuable book, "Out of the House of Bondage," that the School of Slavery has been the first Institution of learning for the dark man on this continent. The Negro entered the gates of the university of Serfdom to exchange his crude and primitive African idiom, which could only express meagre and incoherent thoughts for one of the most ex- plicite and concise modern languages which is used all over the world to explain the diffi- culties of scientific problems and to give the nearest conception of the intricacy of human feelings. The American Negro speaks and writes English. Such a valuable knowledge gives him a far and wide potential power, since he can be understood by millions of English speaking men. The one who masters any modern language has in his possession a piercing sword that can reach the depth of the most hardened souls. We rule the affairs of the world more with our language than with the destructive shells of our long range guns. The delegates to the Peace Conference at Versailles carried with them no asphyxiating gas, no exploding of any sort, a perfect knowledge of English, French, German or Spanish constituted only their most deadly weapon. We must consider the creation of the chairs of modern languages in the Negro Colleges as an invaluable addition to their curriculum. The advantages to be derived from such a progressive step are multifold. First of all, a careful study of the grammatical rules of the French on the Spanish language leads invariably to a better and more intelligent understanding of English grammar. It is stress is laid upon physical education and the right scheme of living. The task of establishing himself after the young graduate starts upon his career is not so hard or oppressive. There are therefore many reasons to hope that the rising generation of educated Negroes will show an increasing degree of longevity. In the years to come we shall hope that Negro college and professional may on the average live as the corresponding class of white But after all has been said and done, health is the greatest value in the catalogue of human good. What profit is to a man to gain the whole wrold and lose his health? or what would a man give in exchange for his health? Health lies at the basis of all other virtues. The longevity of the average American has been greatly increased during a past half century. The Negro death rate has fallen in the scale of mortality along with the rest of the population. There is hope to believe that when social conditions have become equated, his longevity will not suffer in comparison with the rest of our racial varieties. The place to begin the program for health regeneration in the schools. The college should insist upon a sound body as the basis of a sound mind and sound morals. Let us hope that the next generation of college-bred Negroes will not swivel up and decay like prematurely ripening fruit. We hear much in these latter days about the New Negro. The next generation will be his. In order to do the work and sustain the burden that will fall upon him, he must have the requisite physical, intellectual and moral stamina. Their task will be harder and more severe than that which their forebears sustained. They will live in more complex world. The civilization will be more complex and involved. The problem of wisely guiding their constituents will not grow less but more difficult. The tangle of racial factors will in all likelihood free present indication taken on added complexity with the coming years. There will be less or the philanthropic spirit of the white towards them. They will have to depend mainly upon their own endeavor. Character is the cost qualification that is sure to stand then instead in all contingencies. But, howsoever, these things may be, the responsibility will shortly be theirs. May they take up where the olders are leavening off and carry their work on and up. The younger generation is ever whispering into the ears of their forebears—"Occupy till come". almost impossible for the English student to acquire an analytic practice of any French sentence unless he is fully able to discuss it in his own idiom. The translation at sight of a French text for instance compels the student to find in his教科籍 the best English expression to render in an adequate manner the various thoughts of the French poet, historian or sociologist. Moreover, being acquainted with the languages of the great nations that have exercised a wide influence over our modern civilization, the student becomes better prepared to see from a broader angle the practical consequences of their social and political lives. political issues. In the final analysis the English speaking Negro must not be isolated from the French and Spanish speaking Negroes. More are strungers to one another because fighting one another because very often they are incapable of exchanging their ideas in a comprehensible way. presentation. Similarity of languages creates sympathy, affection and friendship. Millions of Negroes in the world express themselves in the French and Spanish languages. Some of them, like Dumas, the author of "T h Three Musketeers". Rene Maras, the author of "Batousa", by their valuable contributions to the French and Spanish letters have reached the highest ranks as writers of history, poetry and novel. novel. The Negro student in America is already very much interested in the study of French and Spanish. The Romance Language Department of our colleges must be officered by able modern language instructors, in order to help the scholars of our group to cross with ease the strait which keeps them so far apart from their interesting congresses of Central and South America, and to share in a large measure the benefits of a trans-Atlantic sympathy and friendship.
