MADISON Pastor of Second Calvary Baptist Church In Sermon Denounces What He Calls Ballroom and Loose Teachers. DOES NOT INDICT ALL IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM "Education without Christianity is worse than Christianity without education," declared Rev. C. P. Madison, D. D., quoting one of Billy Sunday's famous utterances, in a sermon on "The Recognized Teacher" last Sunday morning at Second Calvary Baptist Church in which he forcefully denounced what he characterized as practices unfitting some of the city teachers for their profession. Rev. Madison demanded that a teachers and principals come off the ballroom floor; asserted that teachers who dance until two or three o'clock in the morning with students are unfit to teach; declared that teachers whose conduct with students is such as to degrade instead of to uplift and inspire youth ought to get out of the schools; denounced the recent play, "Brownskin Follies" given at the Attucks Theatre under the direction of a Norfolk school teacher as serving no moral purpose, and declared that teacher who enters the classroom in a drunken stupor caused by a night of dissipation ought to be out of the school system. Church Crowded The church was filled both on the main floor and in the galleries. The pastor had previously announced that his Sunday morning sermon would be a condemnation of what he regarded as conduct unfitting some teachers to remain in the church. He chose his text from St. John 3:2; "Rabbi, we know Thou art a teacher come from God." Does Not Indict All Before beginning his sermon he took pains to explain that he had no intention of bringing a blanket indictment against all teachers in the schools. Some of them are courageous, consecrated, in science and efficient and the weeding out of the unfit, he said, will mean much to the standing and reputation to the worthy ones. Dr. Madison also asserted that he had no motives to serve in preaching such a sermon as he was about to preach save his duty as a citizen in public life to denounce all his convictions forced him to believe were not conducive to good public morals. He invited teachers or principals might be present in front of a seat on the floor. There was no response to the invitation. He also stated that if, after he had concluded his sermon, there were any teachers who might feel that they had been maligned they were privileged to resort to the courts as he was prepared to stand behind what he was about to say. Launches Into Sermon Launching into his sermon which was preached with his characteristic vigor, Dr. Madison declared: "A teacher is one who instructs in whatever field he or she may be engaged. Ninety-seven out of every hundred teachers are able to bend the mind and spirit of those instructed by them. Every man and woman, boy and girl, is a sign post on the road which they travel. It is the spirit of the teacher that brings success in teaching, that either elevates or fails to elevate the spirit of the pupil, and not the letter of the text book. It is the spirit of the school, exemplified in the character of its faculty, that counts in the life of its students. For these reasons, teachers should uplifters and moulders of beautiful and courageous characters; of minds lifted toward high things and not those things that make boys and girls street walkers, day sleepers and night loungers; girls who sleep in the day and, like the owl, stay awake and holler by night.

C. P. MADISON, D.D. WIDOW THANKS CAPTORS OF AN ARMED BURGLAR Mrs. R. J. Watts Declares Divine Intervention Saved Valuables That Thief Had Taken From Her Home. Mrs. R. J. Watts, a widow, 834 Princess Anne road, who was saved several valuables on May 6, thru the bravery of a group of men within the vicinity in her home who intercepted an armed burglar, leaving her residence with property belonging to her, in spite of the fact that he brandished a loaded revolver, is praising the Lord for what she considers her good luck and thanking the men who took such a risk for her. Mrs. Watts, who says she could have ill-afforded to have lost the goods consisting of her dead husband's watch, pistol, a bunch of keys, a ring and a bracelet, came into the Journal and Guide office this week, asking that this newspaper kindly let those men know how thankful she feels to ward them. Burglar Ran She says that on the afternoon of the robbery she reached home from work about 6 o'clock and, as usual, attempted to unlock her front door. The lock did not work she noticed, and just as she was about to call to the other woman who lives in the house, a man came from her apartment through another door with a long screw driver in his hand. When she asked him what he was doing in her home, he answered that he did not know she lived there, and started by her down the steps. Mrs. Watts, who is small of stature, but evidently large of nerve, grabbed the man by his coat and screamed for help. He freed himself and dashed down the stairs and into the street with the screaming woman at his heels. A crowd quickly joined in pursuit. The fleeing man led his pursuers across vacant lots, alleys and cross streets, but the increase as in g crowd stuck to his heels. He eluded them for a second or two, but they soon discovered him covered in a woodhouse with the stolen pistol. When he attempted to point it, one of them said, "Ah, don't do that to me." The yanked him out of there, disarmed him, and were giving him some pretty rough treatment when a policearrived. The pistol was turned over to the officer who placed the man under arrest. When searched, Mrs. Watts' valuables were found on him, it is alleged. Held Under $2500 Bond Justice Spindle held the alleged thief under $2,500 bond for the action of the June grand jury. Mrs. Watts declares it was thru Divine intervention that she arrived home just at the time she did, and that it was the working of the Divinity that nerved the men to make the capture of the thief. Harry Duke is said to have been among the crowd that led the chase. Anyhow, Mrs. Watts wants all who helped to catch him to know that she thanks them profusely for the risk they took and for having done her property. NOT SENATOR HITS AGAIN U. S. RULE IN HAITI SENATOR HITS AGAIN U. S. RULE IN HAITI Democrat Declares That He Will Not Cease To Assail U. S. Haitian Policy Until Every Trooper Is Withdrawn. DECLARES AMERICAN DICTATORSHIP EXISTS (Special Correspondence.) Washington. D. C., May 18—Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, last Thursday on the floor of the Senate, attacked the military policy of the United States in Haiti. He introduced a resolution directing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to investigate charges of the Haitian people and to report to the Senate a measure which would permit the establishment of a self-government for the people of the country. Condemns Policy "know it is a waste of time to plead for a weak people," Senator King said. "The American people are interested in making money and in exploiting other people. I condemn the policy we are now following in that country and protest against it with all my soul. "The humblest people in the world are entitled to work out their own salvation. So long as I am in this Senate I am going to fight for these Haitian people." In his address, Senator King declared the people of Haiti origially made no objection to the interest in a military rule there but that they now regret it. "It is a sad commentary," he said, "on American government. I had rather by a slave than live under a military dictatorship, for slavery is usually a result of such relationship." Dictatorship Referring to the recent debate in the Senate over the Italian debt settlement, the Senator from Utah said, "the men in this Senate who have so eloquently denounced the dictatorship in Italy should give a little of their eloquence to the dictatorship we have established in a neighboring island. "When we talk about revolutions in Haiti we must remember that our American troops have killed more Haitians in a year than the Haitian people have killed their national differences. More than 3,000 people have died at the hands of Americans." TWO ALLEGED HIGHWAYMEN UNDER ARREST Maxim Penalty For Crime With Which Men Are Charged Is Death In The Electric Chair. Last week city detectives arrested Will Howard and Bernard Ashford and locked them up on a charge of highway robbery by night at the point of a gun. The men, when arraigned before Justice Spindle were held without bail for the action of the June grand jury. They are charged with having accosted Ralph Buyant, of Riley street, while on his way home from work, on Charlotte street near Church and with having robbed him of $43.00 at the point of a pistol on May 1. Bryant furnished the police with a good description of the men, and following the arrest of Howard and Ashford, he positively identified both of them as his assailants. The maximum penalty for the crime with which they are charged is death in the electric chair. It is a serious charge, and the police expect to secure a conviction that will at least mean 18 years in the prison.

At the conclusion of the parade the marchers marched to Huntington High School athletic field where outdoor events were scheduled to take place, but the overly long tramp through the city's streets had so exhausted them and the time had been so far spent that these events were dispensed with.

Commit- tee Disclaims Power To Award Punitive Damages. Washington, D. C. May 19—In a decision rederived last Friday, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued the complaint of Dr. E. Crossby, a physician, of Detroit, Michigan, charging railroads operating in the South with "undue prejudice against, and of unreasonable regulations affecting, persons of the colored race in favor of persons of the white race," on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient to warrant it in making definite findings of race discrimination. The commission also found in its reports that it has no jurisdiction to award punitive damages. The commission directed attention to toilet conditions existing in certain towns in Alabama and also declared that the evidence of unjustified activity poses to unsatisfactory condition in several instances. The Complaint In his complaint filed January 5, 1924, Dr. Crosby, who was then a traveling salesman, charged that between April 10, 1922, and November 7, 1924, certain railroads in the South had failed to furnish him, and colored passengers in general, the same train and station accommodations and facilities as were furnished to white passengers. He also charged that on different occasions Pullman accommodations were refused him, and that in other ways he was subjected to unreasonable regulations and to unjust discrimination and undue prejudice in violation of certain sections of the Interstate Commerce Act. He asked for an order requiring these railroads in the South to furnish the same facilities and service for colored persons as are accorded white persons. He also sought an award of damages in the total amount of $120,000. The railroads and the Pullman Company filed motions to dismiss his complaint on the grounds that the charges, even if true, did not constitute violations of the act, and on the further ground that the commission is not clothed with authority to award damages of the nature sought. These motions were sustained in part. FLORIDA HASTWO LYNCHINGS IN THREE DAYS Labor Troubles Believed To Have Provoked Crimes Of Mob; White Woman Denies She Was Attacked. (Special to Journal and Guide) St. Petersburg, Fla., May 18—Within three days two men were lynched in different sections of Southern Florida last week. In connection with the lynching of Henry Patterson, near La Belle, Tuesday night, seven men have been arrested and lodged in jail as a result of evidence disclosed by the coroner's jury investigating the crime. Four of these men were arrested in Arcadia and three at Fort Myers. They are being held without bail on a second degree murder charge. Parker Watson the other mob victim was lynched Sunday night after being taken from officers who were taking him from Clearwater to St. Petersburg. Official investigation has disclosed that Patterson, who was accused of attacking a white woman, and who was shot and killed by a band of men near here Tuesday night who paraded his body thru the streets, then hung it to a tree on the outskirts of the town, had not attacked any woman at all. According to the authorities the alleged victim herself has since declared she was not attacked by the man but was scared by his presence. In the lynching of Watson, the theory has been advanced, that some persons believed he knew the location of a large amount of stolik (Continuation: Page Eight) PRICE 7 CENTS LTY JURY ACQUITS BROTHER OF DR. SWEET State May Drop Case Against 10 Other Defendants Since Strongest Evidence Has Failed To Convict. CHARGE TO THE JURY ABSOLUTELY IMPARTIAL Detroit, Mich., May 16—After more than three hours deliberation a jury in Judge Frank Murphy's court here acquitted Henry Sweet, younger brother of Dr. Ossian I. R. Sweet, of the charge in connection with the death of Leon Breiner who was fatally shot in a disturbance in front of the doctor's homest September. Whether the acquittal will meet the dropping of the cases again the 10 other defendants arrest following the shooting is a matter Prosecutor Robert M. Toms said he had not decided. The jury spent three hours and 35 minutes in actual deliberation. It was looked up at 1:38 p.m. At 3:30 p.m. it sent on a note asking whether a crowd in front of the defendant was necessarily guilty of the defendant the right to reply. The judge ignored the note's request for a reply. At 5:10 one of the jurymen rapped at the door and announced that an agreement had been reached. Spectators Cautioned Whites and blacks filled the courtroom as the jury filed in. Before the report was read by the foreman, Judge Murphy cautioned spectators against making any demonstration. "Do not let passion interfere with your acceptance of this verdict, whatever it may be," he warned. "Accept it courageously and with a good will." A murmur run through the courtroom as the verdict was delivered, but there was no further display of emotion. In his charge to the jury he declared: "It is my duty to warn you that prejudice or intolerance or passion should not enter into your deliberations upon the facts, also reason would depart and the calm consideration necessary for a just verdict would be lacking. Hich or poor, white or black, each man brought before the bench or jury is entitled to equal consideration and justice." The Judge complimented the various attorneys for their conduct during the trial, declaring it "reflected honor upon the city" Clarence Darrow and Thomas F. Chawke, defense attorneys were congratulated by many of the spectators. List of Jurymen The jurors were: Charles Thorne, sailor on the Great Lakes for 50 years; William B. Brunswick, locomotive engineer; Edward B. Bernie, pharmacist; John M. Allan, machinist; James S. Spencer, electrician; Charles Phillips, electrician; Charles L.

Small, district manager of the Navigational Navigation Company; Richard Adams, retired; Louis J. Sutton seminary employee and William John Sampson, electrician. Story of Shooting Dr. Ossian Sweet, brother of Henry, had just moved into the Garland avenue house at the time of Breiner's death. In the house were 11 persons and quantities of shotguns, revolvers and ammunition, while outside were a group of white persons, variously described as a handful of persons an as a mob. Breiner, according to testimor was sitting on the porch of a dwelling across the street, smoking pipe and chatting with a neighbor when slain by shotgun from a window of the Sweet house. Other shots from the same source wounded Erick Hoberg. Police, who had been assigned to guard the home against a possible outbreak, arrested the 11 at the time. At the first trial of Henry Sweet and 10 co-defendants all attempts were made by the ku klux klan and other "pure white" organizations to bring about a verdict of guilty and send the Negroes either to the gallows or to life terms in prison.

IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Lula Valentine, who exchanged her cross for a starry crown one year ago, March 19, 1925. It was on Thursday evening, I shall never forget the day, When an angel came and whispered, "I must take your mother away." Mother a precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. Redeemed from earth and pain, Ahl! when shall we ascend, And all in Jesus' presence reign, And be with mother again. Heaven now retains her, Earth her casket keeps. While the sunbeans love to linger, Where our daring mother sleeps, Walter, Marry, John, Mudisom, Walter, Harry, John, Madison Maggie, Lula, Alice and Lillie May Valentine, of Philadelphia, Pa.

He portrayed the character of the deceased as a consecrated christian gentleman who had received the life that Christ had brought to us. He said that natural life was the greatest natural possession but poor in comparison with the spiritual life. Death overtakes the natural conqueror and he is no more. The body is frail and life uncertain—it is brief and full of trouble and does not deserve a dignified does. Many more consoling things were said by Rev. Galvin at the close of which the Eastern Star Lodge performed its burial ceremony. The flowers were many and beautiful. Mr. Butter leaves a wife, Mrs. Gertrude Butler, two children, Eva and Benjamin, one sister Mrs. A. Mark Harris of Philadelphia and other relatives.

States Department of Agriculture, Which Exceeds Acreage of Last Year. Early potato growers in Virginia on March 1, had planted or expected to plant 86, 300 acres according to reports to the United States State Departments of Agriculture. Last year your 86,100 acres were harvested, so the 1926 average will only show a slight increase. Accomac county reports a decrease of approximately 10 per cent as compared with last year, while other sections have planted or will plant a larger acreage, ranging from a small increase in Northampton to 30 or 40 per cent increase in Princess Anne. Unfavorable weather conditions in March have delayed planting, but the greater part of the crop was already in the ground before the bad weather commenced. Growers state that the land was generally good condition for planting. While the recent cold weather may retard germination, most growers do not expect any serious damage from this cause. Owing to the scarcity of local grown seed, a larger percentage of the crop was planted in the Northern seas. That fact may possibly shorten the shipping period as Northern grown seed usually matures ten days or two weeks earlier than local seed. Growers throughout the early potato states have planted a larger acreage than had been intended on February 1, when a general decrease of approximately 11 per cent from the 1925 acreage was reported. On March 1, every important section reported an increase over earlier intentions and the total early acreage is now expected to be nearly 9 per cent above the acreage last year, but 6 per cent less than the large acreage of 1924. Both North and South Carolina have increased the potato acreage more than 20 per cent. In Florida there was an increase of 1,000 to 5 per cent; but due to low yields on the crop, shipments are not expected to be a great impact. In the Hastings section prospects are good, although the crop is late so the car lot movement will start about April 15, and continue thru May. The White Oak Spring Baptist Sunday school met at its usual hour Sunday morning with Supt. and teachers present. The lesson was interestingly taught in the respective classes. Mt.

LUCAS BUS LINE HAMPTON CLINCHES FIFTH ANNUAL TRACK AND FIEED MEET MANY OLD RECORDS SMASHED AS SEASIDERS AMASS GRAND TOTAL OF 87 POINTS; HUBBARD JUMPS SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH WHEN YOU NEED A DRUGGIST, YOU NEED A GOOD ONE HE IS LISTED HERE BY THOMAS W. YOUNG Hampton, Va., May 20—Hampton Institute's track squad won the fifth inter-collegiate track and field meet on Armstrong Field last Saturday, piling up 37 on against 25 her nearest rival Union University, in a remarkable event where nine records were broken. Manassas totailed 25 points to win the scholastic point trophy ahead of Union School with 16. Street High School T h e c o m p m e t e r register ideal track weather but before the meet was over rain interrupted its program. John Carrol, reputable historian distance runner was leading the field in a special seco- mile run and DeHart Hubbard, holder of the World's broad jump record and several other titles, had just completed his first ensational jump when everybody was driven to shelter. The meet was shortly resumed, however, and Hubbard leaped from the board three time seconds, each time drilling the large number of spectators. His best jump made against a brisk wind was 24ft, 10.3 inches. Hubbard also pros his ability as a sprinter in the 100-yard dash when he led in fast field in 9.9 seconds. He finished second to William King of Hampton in the 220-yard low hurdles. In this race King clipped off a second from his 1923 time, completing it in 25.6 seconds. Records Shattered Nine record-breaking events followed each other in rapid succession. Pierce of St. Paul began crusade by beating his own last year's shot-put record with a leave of 38 ft., 9 1/2 inches. Wm. D. Williams, of Hampton, knocked off a tenth of a second from his 1924 time by making the 120-ward high hurdles in 16.7 seconds. Edward Taylor of Hampton bested Margrove's javelin distance by 3 feet, throwing 160 ft., 9 inches. Manassas' quartet lowered Union Street's Virginia Relay time of 3 minutes 46.4 seconds by winning the event in 3 minutes 40.6 seconds. Coles and Cook Break a Pair Each Robert Coles, for two years the captain of Hampton's track squad, and W. Cook of Union, each shattered two records: Coles began his race with the determination to break a record and, after leading practically the entire distance and almost lapping the trailer, he broke the tape in 4 minutes 39.7 seconds. Nichols of Howard had the best time—held since 1923—until Saturday. Not satisfied, Coles began the 2-mile run with the same record-smashing air, and after leading the entire route he crossed the line in 10 minutes, 26.4 seconds, lowering his own time of 10 seconds to eight seconds. In both these races George Merritt, of Hampton roused a cheer from the hampsons by forging ahead from the rear and sprinting past his competitors on the home stretch to finish second to his victorious team mate. Cook, Union's flash for five years, in company with Dehart Hubbard, pulled down by 2-10 second the record he established in 1922, the same being equalled by Byrd, of Lincoln in 1923 and accomplished the century in 10 seconds flat. Cook also added to his laurels in the 440-yard dash by clipping from Langston's record made in 1924—51.4 seconds and won the Chicago Defender trophy in 50.4 seconds.

Hampton Again Takes Relay With one leg on the Madame Walker Trephy which goes to the school winning it three times, Hampton's mile relay team paced away from all competitors for a second share on the beautiful cup. Union was given the advantage in the first lap. Cook, the master of the quarter, bested George Gray, Hampton's lead-off man by yards, but King, bested Grays, scores to be long for first place in the next lap. Hampton's third runner, Clarke, maintained this lead and added a few yards to it. So when Joseph Baldwin, final runner for the Blue and white began his quarter, he had only to protect his lead. This he did admirably against the dangerous threats of several survivors who also sought a claim to the coveted trophy. Hampton's time was 3 minutes 33.1 seconds. This event closed the most successful meet held at Huntington since the annual classic was inaugurated in 1922. Nearly 200 athletes representing 20 institutions competed for the cups and medals which represent the highest achievement in organized athletics. While no entries were received for the new enews introduced in the meet this year, the pentathlon, the medley, and the relay, it is hoped and believed that interest in the contests will manifest in his other numbers on the program. However, these features were initiated Saturday with intramural competition. Despite Hampton's apparent monopoly on places—10 firsts, 11 seconds and 4 thirds out of 14 events—the meet was no walkaway for the home lady. They were pushed to the limit of their well-earned and fully deserved places in every event. Not the decline of nivaling competition but the advance of Hampton's prowess made manifest through constant and earnest training accounted for the one-sided score.

ADDS POUND NASHVILLE Nashville, Tenn., May 29 — The New Orleans Adds showed the Nashville fans what they thought of the Nashville team by knocking out two of their hurriers in the opening game and winning the game 10-2, thereby saddening the hearts of the thousands who attended the game. ALL TEAMS OF S CONCENTRATING Memphis, Tenn., May 20—The cities composing the Southern League are all "het up" and "still heating" with each declaring that at the close of the season the old gonflation will float in their town. Memphis' pennant ambitions, however, received a set back when the Red Sox, after winning three out of four games from the Birmingham Black Barons, followed the Barons to their home lot and dropped two games in a row. The first was a five-inning affair, on account of rain. The second game, however, was a complete game, wen by Birmingham. This fellow Burdine, who was on the mound for the Black Barons, pitched and batted his way into the hearts of the Birmingham fans, by giving up only seven scattered hits and in the seventh inning with Oden on first, the score 2-1 against him and two strikes on him, smammed the next offering in the left field bleachers fo ra home run. GIANTS TAKE SERIES Chipper, May 20—The American Giants finished their second week of the 1926 season with a crippled club, minus the services of two stars, Sweatt, second sacker and "Jelly" Gardner, centerfielder, who suffered injuries during the first week. However, the Giants managed to take the series from the St. Louis Club, which is now being managed by William Dismuks.

Bolden used a trio of fingers in an inofficial attempt to cop the fray and although both clubs were credited with 9 safe blows, Rector's supporting cast wabbled behind his efficient hurling and at several stages threatened to boot the game away, with Charlie Sparman and Jewel Thomas as the chief offenders.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE ON THE GONFALON in passing that one of the two games won by the Stars was due to the masterly pitching of the veteran submarine artist, Dismukes, who can still go the route at times. The Giants while dropping two games during the week did not relinquish their hold on second place in the league standing, finishing the week with a percentage of .700. A. B. C. US BREAK EVEN Chicago, May 20 — The Indianapolis A. B. C's managed by "Binge" DeMoss, veteran captain and second baseman of the American Giants for many years, broke even on the week after taking the series from Cleveland the week before. The A's dropped two games to Dayton Marcos, new member of the League. The playing of the A's the past week was greatly handicapped by the absence of Bobby Williams, shortstop who listened to the call of the wilds and hied to Pittsburgh, without notice to the manager. Although the Hosier Capital Club has lost two games during the week, there was no change in the standings, the A's still resting safely in 3rd place with a percentage of .625. The Dayton Marcos are newcomers in the league and made their debut by defeating the Indianapolis Club two out of four games finishing the week with a percentage of .500. by its initial membership, certainly is national in its scope of influence. To make any mention of this meeting with taking note of the fine spirit of co-operation, would certainly be lacking in one of the main features. Every man present seemed to have a deep sense of his responsibility and absolute harmony prevailed throughout the organization. L. L. Watson, President The officers were: Louis L.

[Picture of a man with a bow tie and a suit]. WALTER SMITH The Civic Committee of the Sons of Norfolk Social and Biomedical Association, of which George Ward in chairman; Dennis Lee, secretary; Walter Smith, treasurer; with David H. Edwards, W. C. Baker, J. W. Smith and Harbert French the other members, has begun actively to work toward building up a colored electorate in this city. The committee recently had printed copies of the "Requirements for Voting in Virginia," of the Virginia Code, Sec. 48, "Application to Registry," and membership cards to be used as temporary receipts for the payment of poll taxes. Under the system the system member is permitted away to the treasurer of the Sons of Norfolk 596 per month to sell poll taxes. When the full $1,000 amount for three per cent poll taxes has been paid, the treasurer is returned to the system for payment of his poll taxes to the proper official. Mr. Smith recently demonstrated the system worked out by the committee to the minister, who was pleased with it. They are now organ making payments on their poll taxes. The committee will be glad to demonstrate the system to any other organization deserving its aid. The Son of Norfolk expect within a year to have every one of its 100 members qualified voters. Jury Acquits Brother of Dr. Swee (Continued from Page One) editor at the first trial failed. The jury after being out a number of hours were unable to agreed and were discharged. Separate Trials Demanded The defense then insisted on separate trials for the defendants. This motion was granted. Henry Sweet against whom the state claimed to have the strongest case and most evidence was the first, called to trial. During the choosing of the jury, Clement Darrow and Thomas Chawke, exercised the greatest test case in wading out members of the Water Works Improvement Association. After the jury was impassed a bitter fight began between the lawyers representing the Sweets and the state. The lawyers for the state attempted to play on the racial prejudice and emotions of the jury. Witnesses for the state gave testimony which was conflicting and which was declared by Darrow and Chawke to be "perjured testimony." Chawke declared that in NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE A. B. JAMES M. (PIGGY) HARRISON, who has been engaged in the successful practice of law here for a number of years, achieved what is considered a record before the criminal court when within 24 hours last week he secured six acquittals in cases he defended, five in the United States District Court and one in the Corporation Court. All of the Federal court cases were Harrison Narcotic act charges, while the Corporation Court case was, a prohibition charge. Thursday morning Mr. Harrison defended Dr. "S. R. Wilson, who was charged with having sold, Miss Edna Ryan, a white woman, lithophane tablets. His plea before the jury was said to have been a masterpiece of legal oratory. Those who heard "Pigg" declare that he rose to his best in this case. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty after a few minutes deliberation. Following this Mr. Harrison was appointed by the court to defend Herman Ruffin, John Williams and Perty Williams, who were spiedly acquitted. Lucile Wood charged with the possession of 54 "decks" of cocaine was next tried. Lawyer Harrison's defense of her brought an acquittal On Friday morning he attended a white man, John Hill, on trial in Corporation Court No. 2, on a charge of violating the Layman act. Hill was freed. His long experience in the law courts of the country he had never heard so many lies told from the witness stand as there were in this trial. LAMB'TS POINT Rev. J. C. Mackey, one of the pines, salutiert and most faithful ministers of the A. M. E. connection, has been assigned to the pastorate of St. James A. M. E.

Travelers Aid Assist s2,924 The statistical report of the Travelers' Aid for the month of April shows increasing activity on the part of the organization locally. According to the report, 897 nurses and 741 trains were met by Travelers' Aid during the month fifty-three major cases and 1,824 minor cases received the attention of the society during the same period, and a total of 2,924 persons received assistance. Of those assisted there were 100 males under 16 years of age; 139 from 16 to 23, and 685 over 23 years old. Of the females assisted 216 were under 16 years of age; 330 from 16 to 23, and 1,341 over 23 years of age. The nationalities included virtually every major race on the globe, and the causes for assistance varied from lack of knowledge of the city to physical disability, taking in between practically everything that might arise to inconvenience or endanger the traveler at the terminals. Unfit Teacher Must Go, Says Rev. C. P. Madison (Continued From Page One) picks her up, throws her body across his shoulder and flees behind a curtain with her, such as was done in the play, "Brownskin Follies," which was recently given it the Attucks Theatre under direction of a Norfolk school teacher. There was not one whit of good in the play. For what purpose was it given? There were no organizations or schools of what it was meant to serve? Why was the public asked to pay fifty and twenty-five cents to see such a play given by a public school teacher with public school pupils Cor. Church Street and Brambleton Ave. participating? There was certainly no moral presented by it. Teachers Who Dance "Any teacher who dances until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning with students is not fit to teach. Parents, if you are not interested in yourselves and the schools, you ought to be interested in your children. We are rearing up a generation of, shifters, a good-for-nothing crowd without high ideals. Oh, we've got the best little social bunch here you ever saw. You can see them on the streets just shaking themselves, with not a serious thought on their minds. "Teachers and principals ought to come off the ballroom floor. Teachers whose conduct with students is such as to degrade and not inspire youth must be gotten out of the school system. Teachers must stay awake in their class rooms on account of owl-hours at night spent in dance halls and other questionable places must get out of the school system: "We, here in this city have practically nothing from an economic viewpoint. Not a single grocery from which 500 families can eat without cleaning it out; not a shoe store in which I can go and get a pair of shoes to fit my feet, yet we are training young school children for the stage; parading them before the gaze of public audiences in dress above their knees and bloomers exposed. I am opposed to school teachers indulging in unwholesome conduct with students. I am opposed to teachers entering class rooms under a drunken stupor occasioned by a right of riotous dissipation. This modern idea that is getting people license to do anything people feels like doing, immoral and otherwise, under the guise that it is modern. I know much more than I have said here. The rest I am resolving to tell Mr. Mason, division superintendent of schools, and other members of the school board. The public must demand that the school board go on record one way or the other regarding the things I have mentioned." Rev. Madison said that it matters not how much the parent of a student might object to that student dancing, some of the school teachers will tell the students that there is no harm in it. He said that when he returns from a trip North, which he took this week, he will launch a determined effort to get any of the teachers out of the school system who might come under the criticism he has made. Just as the minister had concluded his sermon with prayer a number of young students who had occupied seats in the galleries began to leave the church. For disturbing the services in this manner, Dr. Madison, delivered to them a stern rubuke, declaring: "You do not seem to be able to distinguish the difference between a church and a theatre. You must think this is a movie show and the last reel has been shown. Why, we, in Second Calvary are accustomed to dismiss our services with order." Miss Daisy Sykes Replies to Criticism of 'Brown Skin Follies' Miss Daisy Sykes, a teacher in the John T. Sykes, school, under whose direction the play, "Brown-skin Follies," was recently staged at the Attucks Theatre, and which dominates the play. Madison in his sermon last Sunday morning, submitted the following statement regarding it to the Journal and Guide this week: "The parent, pastor and teacher play an important part in shaping the destiny of a child. The parent through home training, the pastor through consecrated and religious motives, which carry their influence through calmness and Christian-like dignity, and the teacher through stressing the cultivation of habits and ideals which tend to strengthen character. The three being leaders should work in harmony. This relationship cannot be secured or brought about by ostensible motives of public rebuke. The teacher who considers herself the least of the three, has the most important role, whether being bequeathed, decorating, or helping habits which parents have tried to instill in the home. Her's is a difficult task—to please the parent, pastor and often individuals and so often her motives are misunderstood. "We realize that the teaching force is but a handful of the city's colored population, and the offenders are not so numerous that they cannot be reached in their own meeting. We have to ask them more than public ridicule. The Bible says: "Go to thy brother and tell him of his faults." Is the SATURDAY, MAY 22 school teacher unfit for her cause because she dances? If the teacher an undesirable asset to the community because of different religious denominations? We teachers cannot afford to retrain the face of so definite challenge without losing all the prestige which our power and influence truly rests. Every one has a right to his own opinion so long as not an infringement on another dance. Children dance and dance, parents dance and some preachers. So that he a mistake to build hopes of early remedy on conclusion to so-called "dance craze" through erion. "I am using this means of acquainting the public with the concerns concerning the "Brownskin Yellies" and correcting wrong marks that reflect upon certain individuals. No teacher danced to taught any child to dance to Charleston. No teacher was becomingly clad. The little children had the most timid parts of the play-"A Hat Box Surprise" and "Human Dolls." Both of these numbers were modest; were rendered in a manner could have been presented in church. The public will agree with me. A little club was organized by the name of "Royal Fashion Club" composed of fine high school girls with whom I worked and trained on many occasions, commissions and other undertations too numerous to mention. The entire collection left to me, therefore I came to the responsibility of all im主义的 directed, although I had occasion to persuade any individual to take part because there was always more than could be given parts. The pastors are our leaders wielding great authority over the followers. Some of them we honor and respect, but we keenly an injustice heaped us by a public rebuke. If we have erred by contributing to wards what we consider a harmless ing of enjoyment then the preside has thrice erred by retaliating against the preside of a procedure breaks down the which surrounds the morals of the teacher, lessens her influence leaves the public to question the leadership of any profession which it be a lawyer, doctor, or even the preacher himself.* DAISY E.

It applies particularly to businesses and the individuals—composing them as to business. The man who looks not ahead, but all around him, sees opportunities that are enmiled by men whose eyes mind are all engrossed in the midst tasks before them. Without VISION, ideals are imitable. It takes VISION to see business is built, not of single users, but of customers. In a connection with a client, if you make but, 1-2% profit and make a FRIEND, you have done business. Customers can be served only from the solid rock service. The way to leave footprints on the sand of time, is to go out and Even the tiniest flower doesn't bloom until it has first put on a root.

The folly of "charging it" is aptly illustrated by a man seen gayly coasting down hill on a toboggan slide; later he has to trudge, slowly, very slowly up the hill again, and drag his heavy sled after him. A story is told of a man who wanted to purchase a stick pin of a jeweler. The price of the pin he chose was $10 cash. He told the jeweler he never purchased anything on the cash basis, and demanded his term price. The jeweler quoted the term price as $15, $10 cash and one dollar per week for five weeks. The buyer gladly accepted the terms and took the pin. How many persons do you know who have been caught in this trap? A house-wife has a good stove, bakes well and all, but it is a trifle old, and out of date. It doesn't have all the fancy trimmings, etc., of the ulter-modern stove. She proceeds to trade in her old stove with a credit on the new for $5. Later on, she takes sick or some other circumstances prevent her from complying with so-much-a-week contract. The dealer takes the new stove back. Lo, her last condition is worst than her first. Think smiles, and smiles will be Think doubt and hope will flee, Think joy and joy neer ends Think gloom and dusk descends; Think fear with brooding mind, And failure's close behind. Think this, "I'm going to win, Think not of what has been. Think 'Victory,' think 'I CAN' Then, you're a winning man. THE QUESTION BOX Questions pertaining to business problems and routine matters will be cheerfully answered in this column. Address your inquiries to "Business Question Box," Journal and Guide, Norfolk, Va. Q. How many Federal Reserve banks are there? (b). What cities does the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond serve?—T. A. Jones, Manassas, Va. A. There are twelve Federal Reserve Banks in the U. S. The continental United States is divided into twelve Federal Reserve districts, each district contains a Federal Reserve city (that is a city in which a Federal Reserve bank is located). The districts are apportioned 'with due regard to the convenience and customary course of business.' (b). The Federal Reserve bank of Richmond is in the Fifth Federal Reserve District, which embraces the District of Columbia, the state of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and all save six counties of the state of West Virginia. Q. Why is the trip newly-wed couples take after marriage called their 'honeymoon'?—L. T. A. The custom that gave rise to the term honeymoon is the thing of the past. It had its origin among the ancient Germans, whose newlywed couples drank mead mixed with honey for thirty days after the wedding. Q. I lost a certified check very recently and was put to a deal of inconvenience about it. Why should the loss of a certified check cause any more trouble than an ordinary check?—Dale Beverly, Richmond, Va. A. When a bank certifies a check, the funds are immediately drawn from the account of the person drawing the check and placed in a reserve fund of the bank called 'Certified Checks Outstanding.' Then the bank guarantees the payment of the check when it is properly endorsed, making the check as good as the bank itself. Hence when a certified check is reported lost, the bank must satisfy itself that it is not stolen or will turn up 'later for payment. Usually it required an indemnifying bond for the amount of the lost check before turning over the funds it called for. Q. Why is the police patrol wagon almost universally called the 'black maria'? A. The term 'black maria' comes from Boston. In the days before the Revolutionary War, a Negro woman, named Maria Lee, kept a boarding house for sailors. She was a woman of prodigious strength, and was of great assistance to the authorities in keeping peace, as all the lawless elements were afraid of her prowess. When ever an unusually troublesome person was to be arrested, the services of 'black Maria' were called for. It is said that she took at one time, without help, three drunken sailors to jail. So often was her help required that the expression 'send for black Maria' came to mean 'take the disorderly person to jail'. BUSINESS BRIEFS A long delayed Spring has had the tendency to retard business. The unseasonable weather has been far from favorable to most of the crops, a large economic factor in Tidewater. Growing has been retarded to a large degree and continuous rains have delayed new planting quite a bit. Too much rain and too much cold have been the complaints from all sides, and without doubt they have retarded all lines of business activities. This week, though, the sun has come into his own. Strawberry pickers and packers are busy, truck farmers are smiling, and business in general is on the upward trend. Commodity prices continue to follow their downward trend which has been in progress since the first LOOK Where you may YOU Will not find a store with Higher Quality, Better Service, Lower Prices Make Us Prove It DIAL 24921 RYALL'S COMMUNITY STORE 744 B AVE.

The fact that members of the Negro race are blazing the trail in such a field and are making progress ought to invite keener interest and more support. The North Carolina Mutual, therefore, strives to keep the public informed as to just what it is doing with the people's money." 'BUDDY POPPIES TO BE SOLD BY LOCAL V. F. W. Prince Algegnon Johnson Post No. 1076 Veterans of Foreign Wars, whose membership is composed of men of Tidewater who have seen foreign service in the wars of the United States, will participate in the annual Poppy Day, Memorial Day, with the sale of Buddy Poppies on the streets of the city. The sale will be conducted Saturday inasmuch as Memorial Day falls on Sunday this year. The Veterans of Foreign Wars have recognized in the Buddy Poppy idea the means of achieving four worthy objects: 1. The rehabilitation of disabled comrades through the manufacture of the scarlet emblems. 2. The perpetuation of the custom of wearing a Buddy Poppy as a memorial flower, thus continuing for all time the memory of the sacred dead. 3. A means of providing a relief fund for the local Post to meet the distress occasioned by sickness or unemployment among veterans and their families. 4. A means of extending the relief work of the National Headquarters and State Departments of the Veterans of Foreign Wars for the benefit of those comrades in arms who returned, shattered in health a n d strength, to face the handicap of an impaired existence. In announcing their annual Poppy Day, the local Post, whose Headquarters is at 800 Lincoln St., makes the following statement: "The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States feel honored that so great and solemn a task has come under their direction, and will always endeavor to pre- AND NIGHT COMPANY and Embalmers SEET, COR.

HALE AND COMPANY Cleaned the right way! neral Home 1910 and Funeral Director NORFOLK, VA. W. H. McCOY, Proprietor and Funeral Director In reviewing the activities of the North Carolina Mutual for the first quarter of 1926, President Spaulding said: "The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has always been mindful of its relationship to the public. Consequently it has endeavored to keep the public informed as to just how it was operating. It publishes its facts in simple language and in such form that they can be easily understood, by the people it is serving. At the close of the first three months of last year, that is, from January 1 to March 31, 1925, the North Carolina Mutual collected $483,599.34; during the same period this year it collected $530,936.26 which is nearly $50,000 more. Premium collections increased over $25,000. Interest on investments increased nearly $13,000 during that time. The North Carolina Mutual points with pride to the handling of its investments. During the year 1925 it collected over $150,000 in interest on the money it had invested. It will be readily admitted that successful investing of large sums of money is always a noteworthy achievement. It is, therefore, a matter of peculiar interest that the North Carolina Mutual serves its policy-holders extensively through its investment program. On the 31st of March just passed the Company had $1,041,551 invested in first mortgages; $322,847 loaned to policyholders on their policies as security; $29,815 in premium notes. Theses investments indicate personal interest—an effort to serve the people and to keep them protected. The collections during the first quarter indicate effective management. Systems of 'following up' are prosecuted very vigorously. The systems result in closer contact with the individual workers and serve to inform them of all phases of the company's work. The North Carolina Mutual strives unceasingly to make real its slogan '#A Company with a Soul and a Service.' Just a little attention of this year, and has carried average prices to the lowest levels for several years. Our prediction that the declining stock market in Wall street was a blessing in disguise is now evident to all when the bond market after the stabilizing effect of the bear's crusade, has reached the highest levels of the street's history.

"To Americans everywhere Memorial Day will always be a day dedicated to those who gave their all to the Nation, no matter where or when they fell. On that day every man, woman and child should commemorate their sacrifice by wearing a Buddy Poppy. The Veterans of Foreign Wars following its annual custom, will again this year conduct its "Poppy Day" in Norfolk and elsewhere throughout the United States. "I feel sure that every public-spirited citizen of the state will rally to our support as loyally in this sale as in our previous ones, and will be proud to display on their lapels on Memorial Day the scarlet memorial emblem, a "BUDDY POPPY." OBJECTS The objects of the association of the Veterans of Foreign Wars are fraternal, patriotic, historical and educational; to preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members; to assist worthy comrades; to perpetuate the memory and history of our dead, and to assist their widows and orphans; to maintain true allegiance to the government of the United States of America, and fidelity to its construction and laws; to foster true patriotism; to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom; and to preserve and defend the United States from all her enemies, whomsoever.

Also it will take a strenuous effort to the part of the committee to raise funds for this number, we feel that at this time when Christian leadership is in need we need it will be with the effort. To this end the Spring Festival has been planned. All persons who help in any way to make t he Spring Festival a success will be helping to send delegates to conference for this ten-day training in Christian leadership. Read the call to the Conference written by a Girl Reserve from Philadelphia: "Summer and with it the gift of blue in the sky, song in the air, and happy carefree days! But to a Girl Reserve, summer brings another precious gift—the alluring call to conference. As the children answered and followed the Pied Piper, so Girl Reserves follow the call, entranced by visions of days of joyous comradehip amidst the beauty of Gods handwork, wider horizons in which one may see the finest in others, friendliness as wide as the world, and quiet in which to think and to worship God. With treasures such as these laid open to girls, who can doubt that the call to conference is a high call, a clear call, to a purpose that thrills with possibilities." WELCOME BANQUET TO REV. L. L. BERRY Members of St. John's A. M. E. Church filled the lecture room on Tuesday night last at a welcome reception and banquet tendered the new pastor, Rev. Dr. L. L. Berry and family by the church.

But it could not be truthfully said. True, she had carefully calculated the amount of terrife effort. A less indomitable woman would have sunk into apathy years before. The house had a con of paint—lead-gray, because it was cheapest. There were two horses—the blind in one eye, that they had picked up for five dollars after it had been turned out to pasture for future sale as horse carcass. A mouth of yest and pasture was visible in one eye, Selina had made the burglar, and Pervus had scolded her roundly for it. Now he drove the mare to market, saw that she pulled more sturdily than the other horse, but it was not the quality of meanness in him. Pervus merely was like that. But the west sixteen! That had been Selina's most heroic achievement. Her plan, spoken of by Perlman, was to have a hard raid, had taken years to mature; even now was but a partial triumph. Had she descended to maddening. "Why don't we put in asparagus?" she asked. "What is the thing of a luxury, and rarely included in the High Prairie truck farmer's products." "And wait three years for a crop?" "Yes, but then we'd have it. And once it was good for ten years, once it's started. I've been reading up on it. The new way is to plant asparagus in rows, the way you would rhubarb or corn. Plant six feet apart feet apart, not even sufficiently interested in them not even sufficiently interested in them. "Hey, four acres where? In the clay land, maybe." He did laugh then. If the short hitter sound he made could indicate ainking in, "Out of a book." "In the clay land," Sollin urged, crisply. "And out of a book. That west sixteen isn't bringing you anything, so what difference does it make if you put my own money into it, I've thought it all out, Pervus. Please. We'll underdrain the clay soil.

The promise to keep it alive—Dick will be missed. Let me try it, Pervus. Let me try.** In the end she had her way, partly because Pervus was too occupied with his own endless work to opaque it. It was in his own undemonstrative way, still in love with his vivacious, nimble-witted, high-spirited wife, though to her frantic gandlings and prodings he was as an elephant to the nip prick. Though she worked as hard as any woman in High Prairie, had as little, dressed as badly, he still relied on her to teach her to fow to which, in a moment of madness, he had taken for blunself "Little Linn" - tolerantly, fondly. You would have thought that he spilled blood on her. Perhaps he even drilled he did. That was Pervus. Thrifty, like his kind, but unlike them in shrewdness. Penny wise, pound foolish; a characteristic that brought him succession of golden days and hazy opulent evening on the Illinois prattle land, was disastrously cold and rainy that year. Pervus' great frame was racked by rheumatism. He was a magnificent physique, so that to see him suffering gave Sellina the pains of pity that one has at sight of the very strong or the very weak in pain. He drove the weery miles to market three times a week in a month, a month's month of the truck farmer's season, Sellina would watch him drive down the road in the creaking old market bag, the green stuff protected by canvas, but Pervus wetted before he could walk. He never seemed to be enough waterproof canvas for both. "Pervus, take it off those sacks and put it over your shoulders." "That's them white globons onlone. The last of 'em. I can get a fancy price for them, but not if they're all wetted down." "Don't sleep on the wigon tonight, Perus. Sleep in. Be sure. I saves in the end. You know the last time you were hid up for a week" "I saved in hiding now over there in the west." The clouds did break late in the afternoon; the false sun came out hut and bright. Perus slept out in the Haymarket, for the night was close and humid. At midnight the lake wind sprinkled with it came the tracing rain. Perus was drenched by morning, chilled, thoroughly miserable. A hot cup of coffee at four and another at ten when the rush of trudging was over. He reached the home it was mid-afternoon. Selina put him to bed against his half-hearted protests. Banked him with hot water jars; a iron iron wrapped nel at his chest. Her came out of the expected relief of perspiration. Although he was, he looked more ruddy and hale than most men in health; but suddenly Selina, with a stethoscope, stethosed under his eyes, about the mouth, in his cheeks: In a day when pneumonia was known as lung fever and in a locality that advised closed windows and hot air as a remedy, Perus' battle was lost before the doctor's hooded coat fell. He had been for long hours through the night. Toward morning the doctor had Jan Steen stable his horse. It was a sutry night, with flashes of heat lightning in the west. "I should think if you opened the old High Prairie doctor over and over, emboldened by terror, "it would help him to breathe. He-he's OXFORD THEATRE "He—He's Breathing so—" She Could Not Bring Herself to Say, "So Terribly." breathing so—he's breathing so— She could not bring herself to say, "so terribly." The sound of the words wrumbled into the sound of his terrible breathing. Perhaps the most poignant and touching feature of the days that followed was not the sight of this strenge giant, lying majestic and aloof in his unwonted black; nor of the boy Dirk, mystified but elated, too, with the unaccustomed stir and air of a little farm that seemed to shrink and dwindle into further insignificence beneath the sudden publicity upon it. No; it was the sight of Selinn, widowed, but having no time for decent tears. The farm was there; it must be tended. Illness, death, sorrow the garden had been pulled, hauled to market, sold. Upon the garden depended the boy's future, and hers. For the first few days following the funeral one or another of the neighboring farmers drove the DeJong team to the fields. But each had his hands full with his own farm work. On the fifth day Jan Steen had to take the garden truck to Chicago, though not without a lot of help. All of which were realized when he returned late next day with half the load still on his wagon and a sum of money representing exactly zero in profits. Standing in the kitchen doorway, Jan in the yard with the team. She turned her face toward the fields. An observant person (Jan Steen was not one of these) would have noted the singularly determined and courteous man of this drably callous farm woman. "I'll go myself Monday." Jan stared. "Go? Go where, Monday?" "To market." At this seeming plenantry Jan Steen smiled uncertainly, shrugged his shoulders, and was off to the barn, where that didn't make sense. His horror and undelief were shored by the rest of High Prairie when on Monday Steen literally took the relus on her own slim work-scarred hands. "To market." argued Jan as excused as his plenant nature would permit. "A woman she don't go to market. A woman—" This woman does. Selina had risen at three in the morning. Not only that, she had got Jan up, grumbling. Dirk had joined them in the fields five days later and had piled and bunched a wagon load. "Size them," Selina ordered, as they started to bunch radishes, beets, turnips, carrots. "And don't leave them loose like that. They tight at the heads, they tingling and through. Make bouquets of them, not bunches. And we're going to scrub them." Selion, scrubbing the carrots xigorously under the pump, thought they emerged from the garden like clustered spears or pure gold. Jan, by now, was sullen with bewilderment. He refused to believe that she actually intended to carry out her plum-picking duties, but she was driving to market like a man! Alone at night in the market place or at best in one of the cheap rooning houses* By Sunday somehow, mysteriously, the news had fifteen minutes of things, and she a widow of a week! High Prairie called at the DeJong farm on Sunday afternoon and was told that the widow was over in the wet west sixteen, poking out with the boy Dirk at her heels. By Monday afternoon the parlor curtains of every High Prairie farmhouse that the Hulstroad road curtain were installed will wind between the hours of three and five, when the market wagons were to be seen moving toward Chicago. The silhouette, having loaded the wagon in the yard, surveyed it with more sparkle in her eye than High Prairie would have approved in a widow of little more than 40 years, only the best of the late crop. Selina stepped back and regarded the riot of crimson and green, of white and gold NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "Aren't they beautiful Dirk, not always thought queer, so it didn't mind not they beg!" "ful!" Dirk, capering in his excitement at the prospect of the trip before him, shook his head impatiently. "I don't know what you meann. Let's go, mother. Aren't we going now? You said as soon as the load was on." Sobig, you're just exactly like you—"She" stopped. "Like my what?" "We'll go now, son. There's cold meat for your supper, Jan, and potatoes all sliced for frying and half an apple pie left from noon. You ought to get in the rest of the house. Maybe I can sell for money. Maybe I can sell the lot instead of taking them in by the load. I'll see a commission man. Take less, if I have to." She had dressed the boy in his home-made suit cut down from one inch. Brimmed straw hat he hated. Selmin herself, in a full-skirted black-stuff dress, mounted the wagon agilely, took up the reins, looked down at the boy sent beside her, chucked to the horses. Jan Steen gave vent to a final outraged below. "My life did I hour of such a thing." Sellinn turned the horses' heads toward the city. "You'd be surprised, Jan, to know of all the things you're going to hear of some day that you've never heard of before. Still, when twenty years had passed, you would hear the graph, the radio, and the rural mail delivery had damped the world at Jan's plumbing feet he liked to tell of that momentous day when Sellinn DeJong and driven off to market like a man with a wagon load of hand-scrubbed garden truck and the Dirk perched beside her on the seat. If, then, you had been traveling the Halsted road, you would have seen a deceptive wagon, vegetable laden, driven by a too-tiny woman, sailow, bright-eyed, in a shipless dress, driven by a man that looked like a man's old "fedron" and probably was. On the seat beside her you would have seen a farm boy of nine or thereabouts—cautiously home-made suit of clothes and a straw hat with a broken and stepping brim which he was forever jerking off only to have it set firmly on againn by the woman who seemed to fear the effects of the hot afterburn. At their feet was the dog Pom a mongrel whose tull bore no relation to his head, whose ill-assorted legs appeared wholly at variance with his sturdy barrel of a body. He dozed on, for it had been his night, while Pervus slept at night, while Pervus slept. A slabby ability little outfit, but magnificent, too. Here was Selaun DeJong, driving up the Halsted road and pushing the thick black-robed, in the farm parlor while High Prairie, cane to condale. In Selina, as they jogged along the hot dusty way, there wetled up a feeling very like elation. More than a year later, with Klaus Pool up that same road for the first time, and in spite of the recent tragedy of her father's death, her youth, her loneliness, the terrifying thought of the new home among strangers, she had been conscious of a warm little thrill of elation, of excitement—of adventure! That was her life, the things she loved and adventure." Simeke Peen, said. And now the sensations of that day were repeating themselves. Now, as then, she took stock. Young was gone, but she had her courage; a boy was born, and she was out farm land; dwelling and outhouses in a bad state of repair; and a gay adventuresome spirit that was never to die, though it led her into the world. At the end, only a trackless waste from which she had to retrace her steps painfully. But always, to her, red and green cabbages were to be jade and burdensy, chrysoprasse and palm oil, weapons against a woman like that. Down the hot dust country road. She was sorious enough now. The cost of the funeral to be paid. The doctor's bill, Jan's wages. All the doctors' bills, the small bill, of the poor little farm holding. On down the road. Here n head at a front room window. There a woman's calicoed figure standing in the doorway. Mrs. Vander Slide on her arm. Mrs. Vander Slide with her apron; Cornell Slip in the yard preparing to tie up the drooping stalks of the golden glow and eyeing the approaching term with the nvid gossip's gaze. To how dyon doe, Mrs. Vander Slide! A prim reply to this salutation. Disapproval writ large on the farm-wife's flushed face. Cornell. A pretended start, notable for its bad acting. "Oh, is it you, Ms. DeJong! Sun's in my eyes. I couldn't think it was you like that." Women's eyes, hottie, cold peer. Five o'clock. Six. The boy climbed over the wheel, filled a tin pall with water at a farmhouse well. They ate and drank as they rode along, for there was no time to lose. The boy had started out bravely climbing up very straight beside his mother, calling to the horses, shrieking and waving his arms at chickens that flew squawking across the rooftop to a dog to droop. "Sleepy, Solg!" "No. Should say not." His lids were heavy. She wrapped the old black fascinator about him. In the twilight the dust gleaned white on his face, and he far-off mellow sonance of a cowbell. Horse's hoofs clopping up behind them, a wagon passing in a cloud of dust, a curious backglance glance, or a greeting exchanged. His eyes, days, or Jakob Boomsmann. "You're never going to market, MIS DeJong!" staring with chin-blue eyes at her load. "Yes, I am, MIS Boomsmann." "You're not for a woman, MIS DeJong!" waving home and let the men foll go. Selina's men folks looked up at her—one with the asking eyes of a woman, one with the trusting eyes of a man. My mind went on, "answered, Selina. But then, go?" "Hello, Cornella!" and always tougher a little queer, so it didn't matter much. She urged the horses on, refusing to confess to herself her dread of proaching. Lights now. In the houses along the way, and those houses closer together. The boy slept. Night and come on. She had dropped a little now as the old wagon creaked on toward Chicago. A very small figure in the black dress and a shaw over her shoulders. She had taken off her old black felt hat. She fine and soft, and it made a little halo about the white face that gleamed almost luminously in the darkness as she turned it up toward the sky. She sleep out with Solgin in the wagon. It won't hurt either of us. It will be warm in town, in the Huymarket. Twenty-five cents — maybe fifty for the two of us, in booming town. It takes hours of work in the fields to make fifty cents." She drove along in the dark, a dowdy farm woman in skillet garments; just a bundle on the rickety staircase; the lights of the city came nearer. She was thinking clearly, if disconnected, without bitterness, without reproach. "My father was wrong. He said that life was a great adventure—a fine show. He said the more things that happen to you the richer you are, the more things that things. That's living, he said. No matter what happens to you, good or bad, it's just so much—what was the word he used? so much—oh yes, "velvet." Just so much velvet. Well, it isn't true. He knew, and he died in a gambling house, shot while looking on at someone who was to have been killed. The boy awoke, raised himself from his bed of sucking, looked about, blinked, sank back again and curled into a ball. Woman wanted to see him, but he was asleep again. Selina guided the horses skillfully through the downtown streets. They were on the Haymarket, on Randolph street. "Dirk! Come now. Come up here with mother." Grumbling, he climbed to the seat, yawned, slammed his head rubbed his罐 into his eyes. So he was awake, and looking about him interestedly. They turned into the Haymarket. The wagons were streaming in from the north to lay in the north of Chicago as well as from the Dutch farms that lay to the southwest, whence Selina came. Fruits and vegetables—tons of it—accompanied the wagons in the town. Through this little section, and South Water street that lay to the east, growing things that fed Chicago's millions. Something of this thing to Selina as she made him walk around. She felt a little thrill of significance, of achievement. She knew the spot she wanted for her own. It was just across the way from Chris Spanknobel's restaurant, rooming house, and the same kind of Perus for years and his father before him; would he kind to her and the boy in case of need. Dirk was wide awake now; eager, excited. He called to the horses; stood up in the wagon; but clung to his seat, resisting insults in the thick of the melee. "Here's a good place, mother. Here! There's a dog on that wagon like Pom." Pom, hearing his name, stood up, looked into the boy's face, quizzed, wagged a nervous tail, barked "John, Pon! Quit, Pon!" She did not want to attract attention to herself and the boy. It was still early. She had made excellent time. Peruv had often slept in snugness as he dived into the water, but Selina had urged them on tonight. Halfway down the block Selina esplied the place she wanted. From the opposite direction came a truck farmer's cart obviously making for the same stand. Selina was in the water, then the whip out of its socket and clipped sharply her surprised nags. With a start and a shuffle they broke into an awkward looper. Ten seconds too into an German looper perceived her latention, whipped up his own tired team, and into an Selina, blocking the way, prepared to back into the vacant space. "Hah, get out of there you—" he roared; for the first time, perceived in the dim light of the street that his rival was a woman. He faltered, stared open-mouthed, tried other tactics. "You can't go in there, missus, yes, I can." She backed her team,傲慢ly. team dexterously, "Yes, we can!" shouted Dirk in an "Yes, we owl" imon't shouted Dirk in an attentive defense belliance. "Where's the commanded the defeated driver, glaring. putting her hand on Dirk's hand." The other, preparing to drive on, received this with incredulity. He assumed the existence of a husband in the neighborhood—at Chris Spanknoechel's probably, or taking prices with a friend at another store, or going to a friend's house, tending to his own. In the absence of this, her natural protector, he relieved his disgruntled feelings as he gathered up the reins. "Woman can't go no business here in Hauyarnet, anyway. Better you're home night time in your kitchen where you often eat." This admonition, so glibly mouthed by so many people in the past few days, now was uttered once too often, Selina's nerves snapped. "Don't talk to me that, you great stupid! What good does it do to you?" She asked, as if she's going to starve there, and her boy with her! Staying home in my kitchen won't earn me any M. NEWY "I'm here to Sell the Vegetables I helped Raise. Get Out of My Way, You!" money. I'm here to sell the vegetables I helped raise and I'm going to do it. Get out of my way, you." Now she clambered over the wagon wheel to unhitch the tired horses. It is impossible to tell what interpretation the dumbfounded north-sider put upon her movements. Certainly he had nothing to fear from this small gaunt creature with the blazing eyes. Nevertheless as he gathered around her he rubbed his rubricued free. "Toufeil! What a woman!" Was oft in a clatter of wheels and boots on the cobblestones. Selina unharmed swiftly. "You stay here, Dirk, with Mom. Mother'll be back in a minute." She marched down the street driving the horses to the barns where, more to be housed in more comfort than their owner. She was back soon. "Come, Dirk." "Are we going to sleep here?" She was back soon. Come, Drink. "Are we going to sleep here?" He was delighted. "Right here, all snug in the hay, like campers." The boy lay down, wriggling laughing. "Like grasps. Ain't it, umm." Isn't it? Dirk-not "ain't it!" The school teacher. She lay down beside him, put one arm around him and drew him to her, close. And suddenly he was sleepy, deeply. The street became dark and laughter ceased. The lights were dim at Chris Spiniconeb's. Solim lay looking up at the sky. There were no tears in her eyes. She was past tears. She thought. "Here I am, Selina Pea. sleeping in my bed with my dog with its puppy sungled beside it. I was going to be like Jo in Louis Alcott's book. How terribly long it is to be going until morning. I must try to sleep. I must sleep, miseriously. As she lay there, the child in her arms, sleep, peace came to the hungard face, relaxed the tired limbs. Much like another woman who had hain in the straw with her child in her arms almost two thousand years (Continued next week) HYGIENE BUREAU URGES HEALTH INSTRUCTIONS Montgomery, Ala., May 17—Better child hygiene instruction among Negroes as a means of reducing Alabama's infant and maternal mortality rates is urged in a report prepared by Miss Jessie Harvine, Director, Community Public Health Nursing, State Board of Health. The report which is to be published soon is a statistical study of births, maternal and infant deaths in the state covering the five-year period, 1920-2025. The report reveals that although the colored birth-rate falls below that of the whites for Alabama, it compares favorably with that of the United States birth registration area. It further shows that the infant death rate is considered lower than the cities than in rural districts. "Apparently the hazards of motherhood are almost twice as heavy among colored as among white women," the report declares. During the period covered the maternity hospital 64 per 1000 birth and that of Negroes 11.06. The study suggests that this may be due in part to the fact that a larger number of Negro women are attended by untrained mid-wives, whereas the whites are more frequently attended by trained mid-wives in supervision during pregnancy and the generally acknowl- DETT TO GET DEGREE A.

This book will contain the to the full song collection of the Negro. Dr. Dett has made the department of music at Hampstead one of the strongest in the country, and the many musical festivals under his direction at Hampstead, are among the most prestigious of the school.

Although the total Negro death rate is greater than that of the whites, it is noted that in four of the seven causes of death listed, the rate among whites is greater than that among nonwhites. The diarrhea and enteritis, measles, diphtheria and scarlet fever exact the heavier toll from the whites. However, deaths among Negroes from tuberculosis, typhoid fever and malaria are greater in excess of those among the whites. SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1920 EFFORTS TO FORM PORTERS' UNION TO BE CONTINUED Spokesman For Brotherhood Declares Passing of Railway Labor Board Makes No Difference In Outcome. New York, May 18 - The passing out of existence of the United States Railway Labor Board makes little or no difference in the outcome of the efforts to unionize the Pullman porters and maids, according to a statement issued from the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters here last week. The spokesman for the organization said: "Of course our plans of procedure included taking our case before the Board as was done by the Pullman conductors. Our success before the Board depended however, upon the strength and fairness of the Porters' claims; the passing of the board is by no means a refutation or weakness of the facts as set forth by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Namely, (1) that the Porters are only a commodity which the Pullman Company sells. (2) That the wages paid these workers force them to exist on a scale far below the standard of living set by the Government of the United States. (3) That the Company is guilty of practicing rank exploitism. (4) The Employee Representation Plan is a Company in disguise, which functions marvellously well in the interest of the Company and not in promoting or safeguarding the interest of its employees. (5) That the hours of work are unbearable long. That the Porters work from the same each on certain lines without being paid for their labor. And lastly, that the Porters and Maids desire to have a Union of, for, and by members. These claims will have to be met and answered by the Pullman Company, whether it does this before a tribunal called the Board or before a certain Board or before the new agency created to supplant the Board, or around a table with qualified representatives of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters."

RACE FARMERS IN SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY SUCCEED Marked progress in the economic condition of Negro farmers in Southampton County, Virginia, during the past 60 years, is shown in the report of a survey made by the United States Department of Agriculture. "The low price of land in the early post-bellum days favored the attainment of land ownership in this area," says the report. "The farmers in the value of timber products afforded many of the farmers a means of employing their labor profitably in disposing of the timber on their land and facilitated clearing crops. T he rapid development in the price of cotton following the early nineties, and intensified by the World War, have also been favorable conditions." The survey included 149, farm owners, and 112 tenants. Detailed results have been published in Department Bulletin No. 1404, "Tenancy and Ownership Among Negro Farmers in Southampton County, Virginia," obtaining free, as long as the supply lasts, upon request to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

PHOEBUS DANVILLE BANK REPORT SHOWS MARKEDGROWTH The statement of the financial condition of the Savings Bank of Danville, Danville, Va., which recently was published in a daily paper of that city shows splendid growth of that institution since incorporation in 1919, and discloses a solvency of the bank that reflects upon its officers.

The banking house and lot is valued at $25,000, while there is $173,161.47 in loans and discounts and $6,047.33 in undivided profits. December 31, 1919 the bank had $28,821.76 on deposit.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Brings World's Best Values To Your Very Door Newspaper advertising is of vital importance to every man or woman who spends money for the necessities or luxuries of life. By making a daily practice of reading the newspaper advertisements, you keep in close touch with the latest offerings and lowest prices. Well advertised brands of merchandise are not only dependable in quality, but are also, as a rule, the most economical. Here is a very concrete case of why this is true: Mr. Warren Wright, President of the Calumet Baking Powder Co., is the authority for the statement that they spend millions of dollars in newspaper advertising. This tremendous volume of advertising creates a gigantic demand for Calumet demand that is maintained by unrivalled quality of Calumet. As demand grows, manufacturing costs are reduced and the price of Calumet, to the user, is brought down to the low point of economy. Calumet advertising, like all other advertising back of a meritorious product, goes on record in black and white as the value of Calumet Baking Powder. It promises the housewife better baking at lower baking costs and the Calumet Company must live up to their printed pledge, which, of course, they do and have done for the past 37 years. Newspaper advertising is localized advertising. Consequently, it benefits the dealer as well as the consumer, because it reaches buyers who can transact business with him. It moves the goods from his shelves. It keeps his stock fresh and clean. It enables him to sell the highest quality merchandise at the lowest possible prices. The very fact that a dealer carries and features, heavily advertised brands is clear evidence of his sincerity in serving his customers to the best advantage. He might temporarily make a bigger profit through the sale of unadvertised brands, but he could not give his trade the values made possible by advertising that decreases costs through increased demand. If you want reliable merchandise at reasonable costs—if you want goods that are backed by the faith, the integrity and the printed pledge of the manufacturer—read the advertisements and remember that the millions of dollars spent by prominent manufacturers is a mighty factor in giving your money greater buying power. Twenty leading British companies have a combined capital of $855,000,000 and 509,485 stock holders. FRANKLIN A splendid number gathered for Sunday School. Mr. Wm. C. Duke, superintendent was present and the lesson of "Abraham and the Strangers" was reviewed by Mrs Delia A. Williams in a manner that enlightened each pupil. Regular service hour began at 11:30. The pastor, Rev. M. C. Allen, brought to his hearsers a strong gospel message from John 14:5-8. At 8 o'clock night service began. The pastor brought another timely message to his hearers. Mrs. D. Sebrell and nice Virginia Brooks, of Drewrysville, Va., spent the week end with their aunt and uncle, Rev. and Mrs. C. W. Pope. They left Monday for Macon, N. C., to visit relatives and friends. Services at Allen Grove Baptist Church were well attended Sunday, May 9th. The Sunday school had a large number out. The pastor, Rev. R. C. Baker and Rev. C. H. Pope gave helpful talks, Rev. Baker preached a wonderful sermon from Luke 13:16, Theme: "The Right Use of Sunday." Some of the good things were that, "Sunday is Christ's anniversary of his new birth from the grave on the first day of the week and we should keep it holy, Jesus was always found in the Temple on the Sabbath day and we should be found in the Church on the Sabbath, in Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. and we should help the sick and lift up Jesus in dark valleys. It was Jesus Christ who made it possible for us to meet on Sunday and praise God for what He has done for us. We should not take that day to make money for there are many people in America working on Sunday and I believe that God is not pleased with them." LAND OF THE GOLDEN APPLE LAND OF THE GOLDEN APPLE excursion into Old Mexico. There is Tia Juana. It is still there, and it is the veritable Gate of Hell, trading right out of this Paradise of Southern California. AND THE HELL IS CREATED BY AMERICAN MONEY. A sane person fails to find any excuse for the existence of Tia Juana on earth; races, and whiskey—mostly whiskey. It is one big saloon and a jail—whiskey of doubtful origin and lying logs, on almost every corner, in every block. There is one saloon whose bar extends the whole block, and it is literally jammed with American women and their men, drinking the "Mexican" beer and hard liquors. They start early Sunday mornings: a stream of tourists and their crew learn Southern California's business place. If you are there by 16 a.m. you will hear little shrieks from the drinking American women, indicating that they are beginning to get "happy." And by night the place is one combination of both Sodom and Gomorrah. Is this another product of prohibition? And I saw "The Gang," t he former pals of Sunshine Sammy, Hal Roach's kids. They had driven to San Diego on the same day when we went down. They have a great big specially built bus, with loud hammers hung on it, proclaiming the "Gang." The little fat white one seems to have a car of his own, and Farina seems to have his own car. Like all normal kids they were also a great terrestrial animal in "Balloon Park," to me they themselves were a thousand times more interesting than any of the inhabitants of the zoo. Every estate is a "ranch" in Southern California. If a fellow has a quarter acre plot on which to raise chickens, it is labeled "Chicken Ranch." There are similar "hog ranches" "pigcon ranches" "rabbit ranches" etc., etc. The earthman thinks that a "ranch" must be a vast territory, because he is thinking of the "cattle ranches," as told in stories and as shown in "movies." But the word has not reference to the size of the territory: it is used much as "farm" is used in the east, "chicken farm" etc. Franklin, Van.-Mrs. S. F. Diggs attended the Conference of Supervisors at Hampton, this being the annual spring meeting called by Mr. W. G. Gresham, State Supervisor. Mrs. Martha Holly spent the week end in Portsmouth with relatives and friends. Mr. Bill Morris, the husband of the late Pearl Morris, died Wednesday after a short illness.

Mrs. Mary Fisher has concluded a visit in New York with relatives and friends. Mrs. Erdie Smith, R. N., is very ill at her home on Gay Street. Just before day began to dawn Tuesday morning, Mr. Tonnie White died suddenly while his work at Camps Mills. His at work at Camps Mills afternoon at 2:30 at the Pine Grove Baptist Church Condolences were read from the family by Undertaker Johnson, from Knights of Pythian Lodge No. 85 of which he was a member by H. W. McGee. Rev. J. W. Blacknall preached the funeral sermon from the theme "If a man die shall he live again?" The sermon was helpful and inspiring, after which a solo was sung by Mrs. Mary Ashe "Take Your Burden to the Lord and Leave It There." Interment is at Nest Baptist Church. Services at the First Baptist Church, were very good Sunday. BY WILLIAM PICKENS Yesterday I motivated for one hundred and thirty-odd miles thru orange groves. Some of the trees have ripe fruit and blossoms on them at the same time. Burbank methods have so developed the orange tree that it grows a veritable load of fruit. The lemon trees are also heavily laden. In among these orange plantations are also great acres of olive groves and English walnuts. The Japanese are the best gardeners, so all people will tell you. They are to be admired for their pluck and hustle; excluded from citizenship because they did not happen to be born in some place like blessed Mississippi, and not allowed to buy land, they HAVE CHILDREN and buy land in the name of the child, who is an American citizen by virtue of the Civil War amendments born in the United States to citizens. These war amendments, brought about by the fighting Negroes of the day of Frederick Douglass, now help out Japanese babies. You can get no right for yourself without directly or indirectly helping others. I have had a terrible week in Los Angeles, and with the "Lost Angels", I might say. They seemed to think that I was a machine and filled with perpetual motion. After ruthlessly turning down many of the engagements which they had made for me, I still had to speak 18 times in one week, to keep from appearing too rude and too unobligating! Seven of these engagements were in the colleges and universities,—like Occidental College, the University of California, Pomona College, one of the most beautiful spots in the universe, about 40 miles out of Los Angeles. At the University of California I got a new gratifying impression of the usefulness of a young colored woman like Juliette Derricotte, of the Y, W, C, A. She had made a wholesome impression on the girls there, in her visit of last summer. They will never forget her. "Do you know Miss Derricotte," was how they greeted me when they came forward to shake hands. "Do you know Miss Derricotte? Can't you get her to comeback here soon?" Personality, personal presence, personal power, is what convences and changes people. No book, no word ever written can take the place of the living presence. The direct contact of fine characters will do more good than any amount of painted propsanda. I had my unusual time with all these students, while the older people and members of faculty looked on. We filled the chapel, we took up class periods, and we broke up school for half a day usually, in order to get a chance to THINK. And how we laughed at those old terms: "dolichocephalic," "brachycephalic," "nordic," "race," "Arvan," "cephalic index," M E R E WORDS. How empty all TERMS seem when men and women stand face to face and in the presence of good sports as the students of any college. "Please stay till afternoon," they would say. "and take our other period." Half-dead with both the fun and the fatigue of the thing, we would have to beg off.

DEMANDS PROBE INTO RIOTING (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., May 11—Demand for an investigation and "a vigorous policy of redress to establish order and police officers of the Negro community," De. Harry F. Ward, chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union, in a telegram to Governor A. Harry Moore of New Jersey, following the attack of a mob on one hundred and fifty men upon the Negro quarter of Carteret, N. J.

If I find time, I may say a later word about Catalina Island, the great show island, which lies about two and a half hours' sail offshore in the Pacific Ocean. It is chiefly owned and controlled by the great chewing-gum magnate, Wrigley. Its submarine gardens, as seen thru the glass-bottom boats, are among the wonders of the world. And its ordinary gardens are hardly less wonderful.

There was full co-operation on the part of the student-teacher and student to see to it that this day be ideal and all the problems be met with the same efficiency as when the usual authorities have charge. From the individual reports we have the following: "The lesson was very good, order exceptionally, good, attendance good," states the instructor of the Third Year Academy.

Principal Williams in summing up the reports of his teachers makes this statement; "We observed that order and attendance was very good."

The result of the day shows that the students are interested and willing to co-operate with the Faculty. Also there was a realization on the part of the students of the responsibilities their Faculty and Administration have. So much was the enjoyment of the work of the day on the part of students that they have petitioned in their report that they have be given two days next year instead of one and that the event become an annual observance.

S. Wilkinson, president of South Carolina State College as their presiding head for the next year. The purpose of these conferences is to study methods of agricultural education through special demonstration to find the basis of a sound program of education in trades and industries, to provide knowledge of internal administrations and to encourage educational standards. The keynote of this purpose was struck by the scientific and statistical argument presented by President Wilkinson in response to the welcome address made by Honorable Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior. In his response there was mentioned the relationship of the work of Land-Grant Colleges to that of the colleges and universities emphasizing the liberal arts. He made clear the fact that the work of the Land-Grant colleges was not hostile to the colleges of liberal arts but that both were performing an equal service in education. The program was replete with work. There were three sessions daily where the representatives discussed the knotty problems that confront the administrators and directors in the Land-Grant colleges. Many eminent leaders of the race were there to take part. Among them being J. M. Gandhi, V. N. and I. Doctor E. J. Eust of Howard University; President John W. Davis, of West Virginia Collegiate Institute; President R. S. Crossley, Delaware State College for Negroes; President J. R. E. Lee, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College; G. W. Owens, Director Agriculture, Virginia Normal Institute; F. M. Staley, Director of Agriculture, A. and T. College of North Carolina and A. T. Wood, Director of Agriculture, Delaware State College for Negroes. Leading addresses were made by Honorable Hubstrk Work, President R. S. Wilkinson, of S. C. State College, Dr. W. C. John, Assistant Specialist in Higher Education, E. E. Just of Howard University, Dr. Arthur J. Klies of the Bureau of Education and President John M. Gandy of Virginia Normal Institute. The business sessions were held in the auditorium of the Interior Department Building; the experimental sessions at the Agricultural Station, the University of Maryland. The experimental sessions were held at Howard University and here the conference was entertained by the Howard University Chorus, directed by Miss Lula V. Childers. In recognition of his ability and accomplishments the conference on PILES DISAPPEAR "Please let me tell you," says Peterson, that for instant relief from the misery of his dullness and lethargy, there is nothing so good as Peterson's Ointment, as thousands have testified.

Porter's twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the East Tennessee News we are prepared to hand him and the New congratulations. We congratulate Editor Porter not alone upon his feat of getting out the voluminous edition—and that that was a great big accomplishment the JOURNAL AND GUIDE can bear witness since personal experience has taught us what means for a colored newspaper plant with limited equipment to get out the big editions—but we congratulate him most upon his 26 years of stick-to-liveness in a game fraught with an abnormal amount of business risk, and upon the success he has achieved in it. The East Tennessee News is an independent newspaper in so far as the dole and subsidies from groups or organization go. Therefore, Editor Porter's success has been wring from the vicissitudes of the publishing game by his ability alone. More power to the East Tennessee News its editor-publisher and its staff. Its twenty-fifth anniversary edition splendidly chronicles the race progress in Tennessee and also where in the South, and should be prized by every reader in whose hands a copy of it may fall.

The Jews Show Us. How In Many Ways In many ways the Jews show us how to succeed, and he is a wise man, a wise race a wise nation that has not to be show something, as none of us is wiser than he should be nor than he has need of. Th In many ways the Jews show us how to succeed, and he is a wise man, a wise race, a wise nation that has not to be shown something, as none of us is wiser than he should be nor than he has need of. The human aspiration and achievement are woefully small, in spite of all that we have accomplished, especially in the past half century, when so much has been done to subdue the forces of nature to the uses of man. But the sum total of all we know and have accomplished is as a drop of water in the ocean waste to what we do not know and yet to accomplish. The Jews have taught, the Afro-American people how to organize and stand together; how to make money and how to save and wisely spend it, and how to conquer prejudices, obstacles, by mastering for themselves a place in all of the thought and efforts of our tremendous civilization. Let us illustrate: The Jews want to repatriate and rehabilitate Palestine, and they organize for that purpose and raise the money to make the start and keep the movement going; they want a university in Palestine and they contribute the money, some $15,000,000, to build one on Mt. Scopus, and the greatest living Englishman delivers the dedicatory address; they want to enlarge and sustain their hospital and old folks homes in New York City and they raise $4,000,000 in four days, each group selected going over the top with its quota; 3,000,000 Jews in Poland, as an aftermath of the World War, are threatened with starvation and a drive is put on to raise $15,000,000, and in a week's time New York City Jews raise half of the $6,000,000 allotted as their share. Now, most all of these monkeys have been raised in the United States, where the Jew has a better opportunity in every way, as the Afro-American has than anywhere else to work out his own salvation. And it should not be overlooked for a moment that it is estimated that there are but 14,000,000 Jews in all the world, with no country of their own—and we have more than 12,000,000 Afro-Americans in the United States alone. How do they do it? They do it by sticking together; by taking a commanding part in the trade and finance of the world and by going into all of the intellectual fields where money and influence are possible to be made.

We Need Hospitals Mortuary statistics of undisputed reliability furnish convincing evidence that as group we not only do not live as long we should, but that we die relatively more than the other race group. The sea of Hygiene of Alabama has just finished figures showing that motherhood colored women of the state holds a risk doubly doubled as great as it does for the women. Other states have collected published vital statistics showing the expectancy of Negroes to be below that whites. There are several well defined contributing causes to our unfavorable competitive showing in life expectancy, most which will yield only to the gradual process of expanding health education and economic status. But one factor no little to do with our early taking or at least mitigating against our possibility of surviving illness or serious accidies is the unavailability of proper hospitalization particularly in southern community. Yet, fortunately, this is a condition need not await the evolutionary process of time for a remedy. It can be studied in comparatively a few years. Here in our own city we are faced with more urgent need than adequate and patient hospital facilities. Efficiency, in case, must include race ownership and management. Not that the hospitals owned managed by the other race do not secure up to the approved standards of care, for they do. But the JOURNAL GUIDE frankly asserts that this efficiency stops with the white patients. No more of intelligence and refined sensibility who may happen to be a sufferer from disorder that might be aggravated by afront to these sensibilities, can go to white hospital in this city or anywhere in the south that we know of and treatment conducive to a cure. Carly, the colored patients may and do get well, but that is in spite of the initiating conditions they are forced to enjoin in the wards rather than because offulness through the lack of them. A patient who has the means to afford the refinement to appreciate them, on driving a hospital not only contemplates the best that the institution offers medical science but that personal service related in his bill as well as the commontesy of the hospital employees. And the sick, common courtesy and personal service from those in the capacity of attendees are absolutely essential to create and obtain a mental state conducive to either surgical or mental cures; yet these essentiae are not purchasable by colored patients southern white hospitals regardless of fees paid, except, in rare instances are colored nurses are on the hospitals. This is a condition, as we have said, need not be endured. In our city we are skilled physicians of our own group potent to manage and staff a hospital credit, and in Tidewater Hospital we the nucleus of an institution that, deserving support, might be readily endowed and developed to meet our nor-hospital requirements. As a matter of ordinary commonsense based upon the law self-preservation, we might as well move now to develop and maintain our own right here in our own city, where moved ones of our families may obtain medical treatment with the necesperial service and due courtesy that expect for our money. No self-respect-group will long spend their money unhumiliating circumstances. They will find a way to obtain the things for which they pay and want without the accomnishment of mortifying effrontery. It is to us to do likewise, and that without Mortuary statistics of undisputed reliability furnish convincing evidence that as a group we not only do not live as long as we should, but that we die relatively faster than the other race group. The Bureau of Hygiene of Alabama has just published figures showing that motherhood for colored women of the state holds a risk nearly doubly as great as it does for the white women. Other states have collected and published vital statistics showing the life expectancy of Negroes to be below that of whites. There are several well defined contributing causes to our unfavorable comparative showing in life expectancy, most of which will yield only to the gradual processes of expanding health education and elevated economic status. But one factor having no little to do with our early taking off, or at least mitigating against our possibility of surviving illness or serious accident is the unavailability of proper hospitalization particularly in southern communities. Yet, fortunately, this is a condition that need not await the evolutionary processes of time for a remedy. It can be remedied in comparatively a few years. Here in our own city we are faced with no more urgent need than adequate and efficient hospital facilities. Efficiency, in this case, must include race ownership and management. Not that the hospitals owned and managed by the other race do not measure up to the approved standards of efficiency, for they do. But the JOURNAL AND GUIDE frankly asserts that this efficiency stops with the white patients. No Negro, of intelligence and refined sensibilities, who may happen to be a sufferer from any disorder that might be aggravated by an affront to these sensibilities, can go to a white hospital in this city or anywhere else in the south that we know of and obtain treatment conducive to a cure. Certainly, the colored patients may and do often get well, but that is in spite of the humiliating conditions they are forced to endure in the wards rather than because of helpfulness through the lack of them. A patient who has the means to afford and the refinement to appreciate them, on entering a hospital not only contemplates getting the best that the institution offers in medical science but that personal service calculated in his bill as well as the common courtesy of the hospital employees. And for the sick, common courtesy and personal service from those in the capacity of attendants are absolutely essential to create and maintain a mental state conducive to either physical or mental cures; yet these essentials are not purehasable by colored patients in southern white hospitals regardless of the fees paid, except, in rare instances where colored nurses are on the hospital staff. This is a condition, as we have said, that need not be endured. In this city we have skilled physicians of our own group competent to manage and staff a hospital with credit, and in Tidewater Hospital we have the nucleus of an institution that, with deserving support, might be readily expanded and developed to meet our normal hospital requirements. As a matter of ordinary commonsense based upon the law of self-preservation, we might as well move out now to develop and maintain our own hospital right here in our own city, where the loved ones of our families may obtain skilled medical treatment with the necessary personal service and due courtesy that we expect for our money. No self-respecting group will long spend their money under humiliating circumstances. They will soon find a way to obtain the things for which they pay and want without the accompaniment of mortifying effrontery. It is up to us to do likewise, and that without delay.

Toward the relieving The big metropolis has little in common with the crossroads village. When the same problem is encountered by both large and small communities it is so greatly multiplied in the city that the city problem loses its relation with the rural. The one possible exception is perhaps the traffic problem. The rapid increase in numbers of the automobile has created a nation-wide traffic congestion which is hardly less serious, relatively, on rural highways than on the busiest city thoroughfares. The limited road facilities in the country and small towns are as heavily taxed by the rush of traffic as are the broader city streets. Toward the relieving of our national traffic congestion at least the large and small communities can work in unison and mutual helpfulness. Money, study and cooperation are necessary to the solution of our new transportation problem. Money is required to build new roads, more roads, better roads and wider roads. The widening of streets in the cities and towns involves the condensation and purchase of private property before construction work can be undertaken. City planners and road builders with foresight and the necessary money a century or more ago would have solved our problem before it arose. It is doubtful whether we have the foresight and money to solve the traffic problem of the future. The scientific study of traffic will aid much in alleviating conditions. Parking restrictions, classification of traffic, police supervision and routing are bringing results in some places. Scientific study is also building better roads for less money and taking better care of future demands. Cooperation is most essential in the untangling of our transportation jam. Those who must cooperate are the motorists, the pedestrians and the street car companies. The motorists may have to surrender some of their parking privileges, the pedestriains must be reconciled to greater caution in crossing busy streets and the street car companies may eventually be compelled to abandon their tracks and bulky cars for the trackless gasoline bus. THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Iced Tea Spoon Religion I like Billy Sunday. Meeting him last week after an interval of several years, he punched me in the ribs, siezed me by the neck, then throwing his arm about my waist, walked with me down the stairs of the church. He seemed so glad to see me, he could not wait to let me thank him for the helpfulness of his stirring sermon. How characteristic of the man. A flaming evangel. A heart-searching preacher.

A "hundred per center" whose devotion to Christ made him overlap racial barriers and act as though he had met, not a Negro, but just a friend. Yes; for in another instant he accepted the hospitality of a seat in a dressed-up black preacher's sport roadster. One might not accept all the man's intellectual statements of his beliefs. But who could resist such a personality? Free and easy, but not the kind that comes from looseness. Affable, but not the forced sort which manifests itself in a stiff smile or a routine handshake. Unrestrained gladness like that of a child: he was so happy at his reception and in his meeting of his colored friends, he had forgotten his overcoat. And what preaching he does. Reading from a manuscript or speaking memoriter, he is so unmistakably in earnest, one forgets the evangelist's words are not being born on the spur of the moment. His animated manner, his rushing, torrential delivery, his occasional aerobatics, his supreme moments when his fiery eloquence seems to mount as if on wings—such preaching baffles description and utterly defies indifference to the man. He was filling a six weeks' engagement in Staunton, Va. Looking forward to his coming the local committee had erected a beautiful permanent tabernacle.

Spirit of The Press 'From Philadelphia Ledger Virginia's Segregation Law which is soon to go into effect penalizing any mixture of the races in public gatherings in that state has caused grave anxiety among the supporters of such worthy national schools as the Hampton Institute. Friends of Hampton who took part in the annual pilgrimage to the institute last week returned to their homes in the North much reassured. At the anniversary meeting the vicepresident of the trustees, Frederick Peabody, clearly, tactfully and forcefully defined the position of the institute on the subject. Its policy, as always, will be to obey the laws; it will make no protest, for its policy has always been one of conciliation and helpfulness. It regards itself as a private institution that does not come under the scope of the new Virginia statute. Its gatherings of white officers and teachers with its Negro students are not public affairs and are open only to invited guests of the institute. It is inconceivable that Virginia will permit anything to interfere with the great work which the institute has been doing for more than half a century and which has made the institute one of the most valuable assets of the state and of the South.

A natural man transformed by a lively From the Christian Science Monitor There is much food for though in what John A. Coussens, president of Tufts College, Boston, Mass., said at the Founders' Day exercises at the Boston University the other day regarding American education, when he spoke of the change in policy which he believes is inevitable in the near future. He sees two factors as forcing such a change, one, that the students are showing more interest in extracurricular activities than in studies, and the other that "it is estimated that only about half of the college students of the country finish their college courses satisfactorily." In leading up to his conclusion, President Coussens recalled that in the "good old days it was assumed that the whole function of education was to pass on the accumulated knowledge of the past." This however, has now become impossible, so that education is in a dilemma, as "it is hard to know what part of the accumulated knowledge must be passed on and what is not of paramount importance." Whatever may be the future of education, one thing is certain, that training of judgment and the ability to think clearly are going to take the place of accumulation of facts. The Elks On Parade For two or more hours yesterday, Newport News was in the hands of its colored citizens and their guests from other cities. The occasion was the Elks' Parade, and it was an occasion of interest and inspiration. The tribute is not to be qualified by saying that the parade was a splended exhibit for the colored race. It was a splendid exhibit on its merits and would have been a credit to any race. The costumes of the sons and the daughters were rich but not gaudy, the music by the numerous bands was as tuneful as colored musicians could make it, and that is to say a great deal, because they can beat the world for pure melody and perfect time, and the conduct of those in line and of those who accompanied them on the side was without fault. Some of the Elks kicked up their heels a bit, but it was just the expression of joy within, and was entirely becoming. The colored population has reason to be very proud of their Elks and the Elks have reason to be proud of themselves. The DAILY PRESS congratulates the colored citizens and the community on the success of the occasion. Across the street from our office, a junk yard is doing a thriving business. It is operated by whites, but Negroes do the work. They work in the yard, weighing, loading, unloading and assorting the metal. They handle the noisy machinery that grinds and cuts the unwieldy metal into proper size. But above the din of the machinery and the sound of clanging metal, can be heard the happy, cheerful, laughing, singing voices of the dark hued workers. All day long, every day, they toil, often they joke and curse, but few of them seem to think deeply enough to realize that the same kind of junk business can be successfully managed and financed by Negroes. All day long, a constant string of wagons, drawn by patient mules or horses and driven by independent colored junk peddlers, move into the junk yard and dump their loads of junk. Each receives his meager pay and files out into the streets again to collect junk from the alleys and highways of this great city. They leave empty and return laden with junk of all kinds, from broken kettles and pots to parts of wrecked automobiles. The individual peddler seldom seems to rise above his original modest financial status, but the profits received by the white junk concern continue to increase. There is money in the junk business, big money, but the little fellow can't get it, unless they get together and establish junk yards of their own. As a rule we are inclined to be too high-minded to engage in the so-called insignificant lines of business. Many of the golden opportunities we pass by and ignore as "junk" becomes the foundation upon which other men build fortunes. There is much of value in the things we call junk. We can make junk enrich others. We can do the same for ourselves. At the market price of radium a man with $5,000,000 could buy less than two and a half ounces of the precious metal. Animals with short, sturdy legs, such as the pig, the rhinoceros and the hippopotamus, sleep on their sides, as they cannot bend their legs under them; Saturday, May 22, 1926 CORRUPTION AND GRAFT By KELLY MILLER The highest test of the capacity of self government is the character to conduct public affairs or other impersonal enterprise without gain or profit on the part of those placed in charge. Trusteeship is the highest responsibility with which we entrust our fellow man. Grover Cleveland used character to conduct public affairs or other impersonal enterprise without gain or profit on the part of those placed in charge. Trusteeship is the highest responsibility with which we entrust our fellow man. Grover Cleveland used to say that a public office is a public trust; and that trustee who profited out of his trust was most unworthy and undeserving. The North European races, or the Nordics as they have been recently called, possess one undisputed virtue. They have learned how to carry on great enterprises as agents without personal profiteering. Of course this is not true in the one hundred per cent sense of the term. But relative to other races and sub-races, they bear delegated responsibility with surpassing fidelity. The German nation fought the great World War under the greatest stress and strain which any nation has ever been called upon to sustain in all human history. The entire resources of the nation were commanded under control of those placed in position of public trust and responsibility and yet, even the allies who were straining every nerve to find fault with the Teutonic character, never isolated a single instance of public graft or corruption. In Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Holland, public plunder by public officials is almost or altogether unheard of. Even England with her wide arena of temptation which her far flung relations with weaker peoples and races affords, is very rarely accused of lack of integrity on part of her officers and agents. The Warren Hasting incident stands out with sinister conspicuousness in modern English history. When we come to the United States, we find much municipal corrup- A Phenomenon Worth Watching King Solomon once said there is nothing new under the sun. By that token all things that are old with which we are familiar must be necessarily the former of new things. It may be that mankind lives in a circle, doing over and over the same things, as we do our allotted tasks from day to day, with the regularity that on sober thought is the monotony of death, as the changes through which we go are almost too imperceptible to be noticed. It is difficult to imagine a condition in the unwritten history of mankind when a whole nation could be halted in its allotted work, between suns, as it were. We are so used to the regular routine that any departure is on a large scale, as in the case of our coal strike last winter, the whole nation feels the shock of it, and reacts but slowly to the normal when the danger has passed for the time being, leaving the impression that the same calamity. may return at some future time, with increased power to create confusion and distress. When all of the industries of a great nation are brought to a standstill by the strike order of the combined labor organizations of the country, in which newspaper publications are included, it amounts to a revolution, to the setting up of opposition government, which may easily result in a change of the system of government. The general strike ordered by the General Council of the Trades Union Congress of Great Britain, which went into effect Monday, May 3, at midnight, was a challenge to the organized government, which was promptly met. Never in the history of modern times has labor organization presented such a solid front, and the phenomenon is worth studying however the outcome. There are some 5,000,000 workers in the British unions and there are 50,000,000 people in the British Islands. The strike came because the coal miners and operators could not agree on a satisfactory scale of wages and working hours, and because the government withdrew the subsidy it had been doling out to meet the demands of the workers which the operators had refused to readjust on a satisfactory basis. All the labor unions in the country struck in sympathy with the miners. tion and some state and federal profiteering. But on close analysis, it will probably appear that other than the pure Anglo Saxon strain have been leaders in public plunder and graft. When we turn to other than the Nordic stock, we learn a different story. The failure of the governments of Mexico, Haiti, Nicaragua, and the various small states of South America is due to corruption and craft in high places. I heard a good missionary, who was evidently not motivated by race prejudice say that there was not a single high minded man in Mexico in whose hands it was safe to entrust the responsibilities of governm ent. The downfall of the institutions of the old world was due in most part to the selfishness of those placed in high station. How does it happen, one might ask, that the Northern Europeans have developed such superior public character. It is not, we may be sure, because every individual has attained unto such unselfish character, but the social sense has been so far perfected that the wrongdoer is visited with such condign penalty that his example becomes a warning to the evily disposed official who comes after him. Roosevelt burned the disposition to public profiteering out with fire. Public officials of the highest rank were made to wear the prisoners' stripes. Why, asks my curious reader, does the writer indulge in such seemingly far fetched allusions, and engage in such extravagant laudation of the Nordic strain? I am merely laying the foundation for special application to our racial situation. The failures of the Negro race in high station in all fields of endeavor have been for the most part failures in character and more often than not have hinged on graft and corruption. The chief charge brought against the reconstruction regime, is not that the Negro constituents were ignorant, but that they were easily corruptible. The charge still survives in its staining stigma upon the character of the race. It is alleged that the Negro is unfit to be trusted with high public responsibility because of his easy corruptibility. It is a well known principle that the worst element of the whites seek out the Negro as easy prey for the exploitation of their evil deeds. They furnish the master minds, while the Negro serves as the ready tool to carry out their evil machinations. The Negro race furnishes too large a proportion of the petty bootleggers. These poor misguided tools of corruption are manipulated and controlled by those higher up. This is the evil feature of race relationship. The worst elements of both races finds easy Book Review *To Study and Teach the Bible* by *Bob Lewis*, day School Publishing Board, Nashville. Tennessee: 457 pages; excellent cloth cover; $1.50 per book, or $1.50 per dozen. This book is indeed a credit not only to the author and publishers, but to our entire race group, and stands in a class by itself being the only one of its kind emanating from a specialist from our own group. Dr. Vass, the author, has specialized in religious education for more than thirty years, having had direction of the work of the great American Publication Society among the colored people of the country for more than a quarter of a century. The position as Secretary of Religious Education of the National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., was specially created for him in order that he might pursue under the direction of his own people the same work to which he had devoted his entire life. This book has received most flattering criticism from such eminent Bible students as Shailer Matthews of Chicago University; Prof. Luther A. Weigle, Yale University; and Dr. Walter S. Atherine, world renowned specialist in religious education Boston University. The Literary Digest International Book Review for March commends Dr. Vass' work "alike for its insight into the Bible and for its grasp upon teaching methods." The book number of the Sunday School Times of February 20, 1926, contains in part: "This is an unusual teacher training text book. * * * He exalts Christ maintaining that the Old Testament can be understod only in the light of Christ. * * * The book covers five of the twelve units of the standard course." This is the second edition of Dr. Vass' book, and he has taken pains in the revised edition to adapt it to the use, not only of his own Baptist denomination, but of all Christians, regardless of denominational affiliations. approximations. The presence of each blunts the conscience of the other. Whenever a colored man is named for important public office, the charge of corruption is apt to be alleged; not because it is true, but because it is easily made and readily believed. Now all of this must be changed. The race must develop and assert those sterling principles of character so as to gain a reputation for private and public It is entirely useless to retort that white men are often dishonest. This is a useless common place. The dishonest white man in public place or in place of private responsibility represents but the excreences of his race. For every white bank that fails through dishonesty, a score out in their unshaken integrity from generation to generation. We need not quote the white man's occasional fault in vindication of our habitual lapse. Now what is to be the remedy? The Negro is rightfully demanding, not only full self-government in all segregated activities where race prejudices shut him into his own racial circle, but also his proportion participation in the common government of all. If the race wishes to vindicate its competency for self-government, it must first exhibit the first essential of efficient self-government—common honesty. Despite his many faults and imperfections of character, much can be learned from the normal Nordic in this regard. The best way to withstand the onslaughts of the prejudied group is to understand its vices and to emulate its virtues. Our schools must lay chief stress upon the formation of character, not merely moral effervescence, but the basic principles of practical ethics which run from breast to backbone. We must deyry this wild extravagant craving for getting money, regardless of the means employed. The good Apostle tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil. Certain it is that the mad dishonest rush after filthy lucre has well nigh nigured the reputation of the Negro race. A dishonest fool can make money which in turn is apt to make if its maker a dishonest fool. Readers of the Journal and Guide are invited to express their views upon public questions in this column.

The Girls of Today Editor Journal and Guide: Just a few years ago to see women with their dresses up to their knees was a disgrace; their faces heavily powdered and painted showed the lowest of character, and to see a woman smoke a cigarette immediately branded her an outcast. In those days a man could easily find pure honest and noble womanhood, the kind that any man would go the limit to protect and honor. It was a mother's pride to treat pure, honest children, who disdained dance halls, who revered God and strove to the best of their knowledge to serve Him. 'Tis sad, but true, those days are almost gone. The average mother of today is simply a woman with children, and the children are allowed to rear themselves. Few mothers of today have the time to sit down and teach and advise their daughters, so the daughters more often get their advice from the dance balls and petting parties, in these days are considered a dud or no party at all unless there is smoking, drinking and dancing, especially among the so-called higher class. Daughter goes out with her dress up to her knees; mother follows with hers a little short; no modesty at all, no respect for themselves. Just a few years ago a woman in such attire would readily be classed as an underworld character. Today, there is no distinction, and worth of all, the so-called Christian people are leading in these things. How can the woman of today expect any man honestly to respect her when she is brazen enough to walk about the streets practically naked. streets practically. As for girls there are no more of them. They are all ground-ups, allowed to do as they please and go where they please. Today we have more girl mothers than there used to be grown-up mothers as a result of this moral laxity. The new assembly of Palestine is to take over the control of education as soon as the Council of Palestine Jews shall have secured the right to levy taxes for the purpose.
