RODGERS '20 WILL PREACH ON TEACHERS AGAIN NEXT SUNDAY WILL PREACH ON TEACHERS AGAIN NEXT SUNDAY Promises To Make More Startling Disclosures In Sermon On Next Sunday Morning On School Teachers. Rev. C. P. Madison, who is in Brooklyn, N. Y., conducting a series of meetings for the Rev. A. C. Matthews at Berean Baptist Church, announces from that city that he will occupy his pulpit at Second Calvary Sunday morning, May 30, and will preach a sermon on "The Kind of Teachers Norfolk Needs," in continuation of his crusade to rid the school system of some things he alleges to be not conducive to good public morals. Dr. Madison states that he is in the fight to make a finish of it, and that on next Sunday morning he will make more startling disclosures of some things indulged in by some of the city teachers. He asserts that what he said in his last sermon on this subject was but the "soft pedal" on things he is prepared to say. Referring to the suggestion made that he could have better dealt with the conditions he alleges to exist by private conferences, Dr. Madison says any pastor in Norfolk who will try to correct such public evils or any sin that is rampant in the city, in a corner is a coward. He adds that his crusade will not head up with teachers only, but will be directed on every public leader who indulges in the so-called inside sins. Janitor Charged With Rifling Mails Newport News—William Taylor, janitor in the local post office was arrested by post office inspectors, Purdum and Sylvester and charged with rifling the mails Friday last. Later he was arraigned before United States Commissioner W. B. Colonna and bailed in the sum of $750 for the November term of the grand jury in Federal District Court in Norfolk. Taylor, who lives on Wine street, in Hampton, had been an employee of the local post office for about two years, succeeding another colored man who had held the position for 30 years. Complaintants of the non-receipt of special delivery letters directed suspicion toward Taylor, who was trapped with a decoy letter, it is alleged Seek Colored President For Howard Univ. Washington, D. C., May 25.—It is reliably reported by persons close in touch with alumni activities at Howard University that the officials there are doing all in their power to place a Negro in the presidency there. The move, inspired by the alumni, has the active co-operation of all the other strong influences of the institution. Report has it that the position has been offered to Bishop J. A. Gregg, former president of Wilberforce University, but it is not believed he will accept the office. CITY TAKES OPTION ON BARRAUD TRACT Council Authorizes City Manager To Purchase Tract In Eastern Section For Park Purposes. City Council on last Tuesday authorized the purchase of some more parks, and in the shuffle the seventeen-acre tract in the Northeastern stretches of city suburbs known as the Barraud property, destined to be the first park located in or near a colored residential section, and which has been waiting at the gate for the past five years, went through, riding on the back of another appropriation for white sections, this time a sixty-acre tract at Ocean View, acquired for $80,000. The purchase price of the Barraud farm of 17 acres was $17-500. The Ocean View site will be used, it was announced, for park purposes and for the operation of a municipal bathing beach. Presumably a portion of this will be dedicated to the use of colored citizens, or additional property will be acquired later for their use. If History Does Not Repeat In authorizing the purchase of the Barraud property for park purposes council made another gesture toward the realization of one of the city's greatest needs, and if there are no further delays, and history does not repeat itself in matters where colored citizens are concerned everything will be lovely.

MADISON'S TALK GUIDE READERS COMMENTONREV. MADISON'S TALK Write Letters To Journal and Guide Expressing Opinion On The Rev. Madison's Criticism of Some Teachers. Rev. C. P. Madison's sermon of Sunday morning two weeks ago severely criticizing what he alleged to be unbecoming conduct of some of the local teachers has drawn the comment of a number of people, some of it caustic, some neutral and some inclined to agree with the pastor. Miss Sophronia Hamlin, a teacher in Booker T. Washington high school, comments on the sermon in a letter under the caption, "Preachers With Nothing To Do;" James H. Hendricks writes that he thinks the criticisms of the dance absurd, and another person writes "clean out the churches first," while the Freshmen Class, of Booker T. Washington school thinks Rev. Madison, "very wrong" while still another writer declares that he takes sides with neither, but "demands the facts." All of these comments are contained in letters printed on page 9, the front page of the second section of this issue. YOUNG HUSBAND GIVEN 3 YEARS IN BIGAMY CASE Bennie Nixon, 22, was convicted of a charge of bigamy in Corporation Court No. 2, Tuesday and sentenced to serve three years in the penitentiary. When Nixon was arraigned in court Thursday, April 22, he set up a plea of insanity, and a continuance in his case was had until May 25. When the trial was called at this time the insanity plea was withdrawn. Two genuine marriage certificates and no divorce papers faced Nixon in court and formed conclusive evidence of bigamy. He was charged with having married a young woman in 1922, and of having separated from her, later marrying a 16 year-old girl under court order after having been convicted on a seduction charge. CROWD SEIZE MAN WHO HIT AGED WOMAN Quick Arrival of Police Saves Man From Wrath of Infuriated Citizens Who Saw His Brutal Act. STRIKES PEACEMAKER WITH CRANKSHAFT Quick arrival of the police possibly saved Leander Godfrey, 25, from serious injury, probably death, at the hands of an infuriated crowd of citizens Saturday afternoon at 5:55, after he had split the scalp of Mrs. Lizzie Swain, 957 Dalphin street, a 60-year old motherly peacemaker with an automobile crankshaft. When the police arrived at the corner of Calvert and Dalphin street where the crowd had collected they rescued Godfrey, who had been severely pummeled and stabbed three times in the back by some member of the crowd, which plainly showed that it was bent on making short work of him. Mrs. Godfrey, a saintly old woman, was the victim of her motherliness. She had attempted to play the role of peacemaker when she was brutally assaulted by Godfrey, a man not half her age. Accord- SUPREME COURT HOLDS PROPERTY COVENANT VALID SUPREME COURT HOLDS PROPERTY COVENANT VALID Washington, D. C., May 27—The United States Supreme Court last Monday dismissed the Curtis case, which involved the legality of an agreement among a number of property holders not to sell, lease or rent their property to colored persons. The court held that there was no constitutional question involved and, therefore, it lacked jurisdiction. Effect of Decision The effect of this decision is to leave in force an injunction, issued by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, restraining Mrs. Irene Hand Corrigan from selling and Mrs. Helen Curtis from buying the premises at No. 1727 S street, northwest. Suit for an injunction was brought by John J. Buckloy. He claimed that Mrs. Corrigan was one of thirty persons who had entered into a covenant providing that no part of their property should ever be used or occupied by, or sold, leased or given to any person of the Negro race or blood for a period of 21 years. On September 26, 1922, Mrs. Corrigan entered into a contract to sell her property to Mrs. Curtis. Mr. Buckley applied to the District Supreme Court for an injunction. Mrs. Corrigan and Mrs. Curtis filed motions to dismiss his bill on the grounds that the covenant was unconstitutional and contrary to public policy. Their motions to dismiss were overruled. The defendants elected, to stand on their motions, and final decree was entered enjoining the sale. The decision of the District Supreme Court was affirmed on appeal by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. Mrs. Corrigan and Mrs. Curtis then appealed to the United States Supreme Court on the ground that a review was authorized in that the case involved the construction or application of the constitution and certain statutes of the United States. This appeal was allowed in June, 1924. The case was argued in the Supreme Court on January 8, 1926. The opinion, which was rendered by Justice Sanford, leaves the way open for any group of people to enter among themselves into an agreement not to sell their land to any other person whom they may desire to keep out of their neighborhoods, and constitutes a serious set-back to the aspirations of Negroes to acquire decent living conditions. The case was ably fought by the N. A. A. C. P., Moorfield Storey, president of the association, having argued the case before the Supreme Court. FOURTEEN PAGES—TWO PARTS SEN D IN Denies Infidelity; Charges Cruelty ENSATION N CROSS lity; Cruelty Accuses OfCrue Dru Defends Record MRS. C. K. BURLEY ACQUIT SLAYER OF PROMINENT FLORIDA DENTIST Trial Which Attracted Widespread Attention Ends In Acquittal of Chauffeur Who Shot And Killed Employer. Tampa, Fla., May 25. After deliberating for slightly more than an hour a jury in Circuit Court here rendered a verdict of not guilty in the sensational murder case involving Dr. John C. Beatty, prominent Tampa Dentist, and Edward L. Williams, former chauffeur for Dr. Beatty. Williams was accused of shooting the dentist to death on the morning of January 27, last. Great interest attached to the court proceedings because of the standing of the parties involved. Dr. Beatty was one of Tampa's most successful practitioners. His wife, Mrs. Blanche Armwood Beatty, widely known throughout the South, is the executive secretary of the local branch of the Urban league and supervisor of Negro schools for Tampa and Hillsboro county in which the city is located. For some time prior to the murder of Dr. Beatty a fight had been engineered by sinister force against Mrs. Beatty. The attack on her held up the red flag of "Men's Jobs for Men, Women in Their Place." This slogan was given birth by virtue of the fact that both the positions which the dentist's wife now holds were felt by men of the city to be jobs for men, and men only. As a consequence, strife grew up between a group which was friendly to Mrs. Beatty's interest, and another group, antagonistic to her. It is believed that many of the rumors which burst upon the murder of her husband were inspired by the nasty angles which had entered into the fight against her position in the city. Shot At Night Dr. Beatty was shot to death by Williams when he remonstrated with the latter for leaving the house after midnight without informing him, the head of the house. Both men are said to have drawn guns, and Mrs. Beatty testified that she sought to shoot her husband's assailant with one of the revolvers which had been dropped. She was not successful. The Urban League secretary hired additional counsel, the firm of Palmer, Dickenson and Shurley, to assist the state in the prosecution. Field Secretary Chisum Dinner Host Washington, D. C.—Melvin J.

CARTER, Grand Treasurer I. B. P. O. E. of W. CARTER SAYS PACE CHARGES ARE UNTRUE Says Elks Have No Funds In Banks That Fail To Draw Interest. As Harry Pace Charged. Richmond, V., May 25.—Jas. T. Carter, Grand Treasurer, I. B. P. O. E. of W., issued a statement here today in which he branded as "absolutely untrue" the charges recently made by Harry Pace, of New York, candidate for grand secretary of the Elks at the Cleveland convention, that funds of the Order are on deposit in Richmond banks without interest. Mr. Carter's statement follows: "In the issue of the Afro-American of May 22, 1926, Harry Pace, in his anxiety to again be Grand Secretary of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, makes the following statement: "The Order of Elks has around $100,000 in cash, $50,-000 of which is on deposit in two white banks in Richmond, Va. One of these banks pays no interest whatever on a $17,000-deposit they have had for nearly 10 years, while another pays two per cent on $34,000-00 that has been with them for a long time. "This statement is substantially repeated in the Pittsburgh Courier, The Amsterdam News, The SaVannah Tribune and perhaps other papers, and is absolutely untrue, and made for the apparent purpose of misleading the brotherhood, haping thereby to make votes for himself. "As Grand Treasurer of the Elks, I have never put a dollar of their funds in a single bank which did not pay interest, the lowest rate paid by any of them being 3 per cent, and I challenge him to disprove this statement." "With the regard to the statement he makes that the Order has had a deposit of $17,000 for nearly 10 years without interest, I wish to emphatically deny this statement. When I was selected Grand Treasurer in 1918, only $1,833.50 was turned over to me. At the end of the session of 1918 (less than 8 years ago) the total worth of the Grand Lodge was (Continued on Page 12) Take 17 Stitches To Close Her Wounds Miss Odessa Burke, 710 Avenue A, of the Twilight Pressing Club 641 East Brambleton avenue, was cut on the back of the neck and on the right hand Monday by Mary Smith, 533 E.

"All the News that's Worth Reading" PRICE 7 CENTS NONAL S BILL Husband delty And unkenness Dudley Divorce Suit Takes Sensational Angle When Wife Files Cross Bill Charg- ing Various Offenses. SAYS HER HUSBAND HAS CONSIDERABLE WEALTH Washington, D. C., May 26- Denying that she had been unfaithful to her marital vow and charging that her husband, S. H. Dudley, nationally known theatrical magnate, business man and sportsman, with drunkenness, cruelty and desertion, Mrs. Desdemona B. Dudley last week asked the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to dismiss his petition for an absolute divorce and grant her a limited divorce. Through Attorneys Benjamin L. Gaskins and Robert J. Bowler, Mr. Dudley filed suit on May 5 last, for an absolute divorce. He charged his wife with misconduct. He named George Davis, a policeman as the co-respondent. Denies His Charges In her answer filed through Attorney Raymond Neudeker and Bertrand Emerson jr., she denies his charges and says that he deliberately deserted her on March 6, last. This desertion, she claims, has continued until the present time except that he returned to their home at 1219 Sixth street, northwest, on April 12, and spent the night. On this occasion, she says, their relations were as man and wife. In her cross bill for a limited divorce, Mrs. Dudley describes her husband as a man of ungovernable temper and profane vocabulary. Shortly after their marriage on December 2, 1924, he began applying opprobrious, shocking and insulting epithets to her, calling her names which tended to reflect upon her chastity, using toward her the most profane, scurrilous, lascivious, indecent and unspeakable language. Charge Physical Assaults Numerous physical assaults are charged. Three days after their marriage, she says, Mr. Dudley made a brutal, violent and unprovoked assault upon her at 1225 Seventh street, northwest. During the spring and summer months of 1925, she charges, he frequently assaulted her by striking her with his fists at their home. In August, 1925, she claims, he made a vicious assault upon her at their country home at Oxen Hill, Md., threatening her with a revolver. During an assault at their city home in September, 1925, he also threatened her with a revolver, she says, and in February, 1926, he threatened to kill her, applying to her on this occasion profane epithets of an unprintable character. Signed Loan Papers On February 28, last, she declares Mr. Dudley compelled her to sign paper for the procurement of a loan of $20,000, which he presumably intended to use to pay certain overdue notes. He promised to advance her a considerable sum of this loan, she states, but later changed his mind and would not give her any amount of this money. While they were in Montreal Canada, in June, 1925, Mrs. Dudley says, he remained away for several days on a drinking spree. On March 18, 1926, she charges. he assaulted her with great force, kicking her in the abdomen, blackening her eye and winding up the assault by throwing her down a flight of stone steps. On that date, she says, he falsely accused her of having visited the co-respondent in an apartment in the Windsor Apartment House at 1425 T street northwest. On the next day, she claims, he apologized to her and to George Davis, declaring that he had been misinformed and regretted having made such a false and unjust accusation against them. Kicked and Beat Her April 11, 1926, she charges, he made a vicious assault upon her, kicking and beating her (unless City Social and Personal Mrs. Jean Henry, of Philadelphia, was guest of Mr. and Mrs. J.

HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER. Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking Powder Co. New Discoveries An attractive garnish for cold meats or salads may be made by rolling tightly several lettuce leaves and keeping them in a cold place until needed. When ready to serve, cut the roll into half inch pieces, and pretzy, light-green rosettes will be the result, which add greatly to the appearance of the dish. Many women are familiar with the perforated aluminum cork-fitted top used on a bottle to sprinkle clothes. When mixing pastry it is difficult to add the water in small enough quantities to distribute it evenly without making parts of the mixture too wet. The sprinkler has solved that problem. Measure the desired amount of liquid, place it in the bottle, and it can them be sprinkled over the pastry easily and evenly. When mating cookies or drop cakes, try using a teaspoon dipped in hot or cold water each time before putting in the mixture, and the dough will slide from the spoon without the aid of a knife or other scoop to push it. If the screens and casings of windows are lightly rubbed over with a cloth moistened in kerosene every day or two, the flies will not collect on the outside of doors ready to swarm in the instill the doors are upon. This is a particular easy way of keeping flies out of the house where there are small children running in and not enough kerosene should be applied to be noticed by anybody but the flies. Girl Reserves Annual Spring Festival Friday Everyone will be turning toward B. T. W. High School Friday night to witness the Annual Spring Festival given by Girl Reserves of the Y. W. C. A.

A high school group in Spanish costume will entertain with song and artistic steps in an Operetta entitled, The Toreaders." A committee has waited on the W. Presidential Virginia Railway Power Co., and extra jitneys will be provided for this occasion, which will be good news to those wishing to attend and fearing the discomforts usually attended in transportation.

That a woman is as young as she looks is true—but not always as young as she thinks she looks. There is as much sense in wishing to be seventen at middle age, and later, as those who try to be a baby at seventen. Any woman should be satisfied if she cuts off ten years of her age, and let it go at that. More in the way of age reduction becomes ridiculous; in fact it only serves to call attention to the actual years one has passed, thus making people criticize you for being ill. Silliness is the thing, and that it is hard to appreciate silliness with the ambition to applaud the earlier generation. The error most frequently made is, neglecting to care for the imprints of time, when we are at the turning point, between youth and middle life. The inevitable marks of neglect, dissipation, improper eating, lack of proper exercise, and sleep, keep you ill, and will require the debt you owe; so flaming, radiant thoughtless youth, remember, you must, pay. I have in mind two opposite types of women of forty-five; Mrs. A—wearing the extreme short girl cut dress, rolled robe, showing her fat, and swollen knees, rouge of cheeks and lips, looking like an artist's palette, streaked, dyedair, a swaying of her head and body (at the dance hall) trying to impress us she is full of "pep." The other gracious, smiling, well-posed woman, whose make-up is so skillfully applied that we hold our breath in admiration, she has the "skin you love to touch" her hair, though tinted, gray in her eyes, in its look); her dress worn at a smart length, revealing a trim ankle becoming encased in sheer well selected color hosiery. Mrs. A—we feel is either an idiot, or a caricature; the other, makes the young ambitions to arrive at her desirable stage of life, and increases admiration for her both from men and women. "Y" Honors Memory of Miss Grace Dodge On Friday night, May 21, the rooms of the Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. were packed with members and Girl Reserves when exercises in memory of Miss Grace Dodge, first president of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A., and founder of the National Training School for Y. W. C. A. Secretaries, Mrs. Laura E. Titus, organizer of the Phyllis Wheatley Branch, was the principal speaker. Every available seat was taken. Mrs. Sallie Dickey, chairman of the membership committee, presided. The audience sang, "Follow the Gleam," after which Mrs. Gertrude Carrington, vice chairman of the Branch, introduced the speaker of the evening. Mrs. Titus spoke of the importance of social gatherings of the entire membership and urged that membership teas be held in different locations, where the city author may. She spoke of the splendid work of the Girl Reserves department and the reviewed the life and work of Miss Grace Dodge. Her address was very inspiring and instructive. Mrs. Anna M. Pool, president of the Branch, then unveiled the surprise of the evening which was a miscellaneous shower for Miss Bessie Butler, Girl Reserves Secretary, who is leaving the work very soon after having served as secretary for four years. The shower was given by the eleven committees, the Girl Reserves and members of the "Y." Sixty-four useful presents were given consisting of everything in the line of kitchen utensils. Miss Butler accepted with a tearful speech, after which refreshments were served to all present. Mrs. Dickey with her faithful committee, Mrs. Pauline Lennman. Miss Mary Nelson, Mrs. Mabel Young, Mrs. Adèle Trigg, Mrs. Rosa Robinson, Mrs. Lizzie Parker, Mrs. Luey Gale and Mrs. Lula Johnson deserve much credit for the work they have done this year in bringing in new members and renewals.

Jack Dempsey And Gene Tunney Bout Is Assured, Ring Followers Believ Jack Dempsey WISEONES FEED COMMISSION W By HARRY Jack Dempsey and Gene T weight championship at Yan That was made evident follow commissioners yesterday wh surrounded Col. John J. Phela Jim Farley, general boxing b the two gentlemen with all s ancient controversy concerning mentioned Tunney. WISEONES FEEL CERTAIN THAT COMMISSION WILL O. K FIGHT Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney will fight for the heavyweight championship at Yankee stadium next September. That was made evident following a meeting of the boxing commissioners yesterday when a score of newspapermen surrounded Col. John J. Phelan, license board chairman, and Jim Farley, general boxing board chairman, and showered the two gentlemen with all sorts of questions involving the ancient controversy concerning Dempsey, Wills and the aforementioned Tunney. Colonel Phelan said he expected that Tex Richard would step in on the commish within a few days to submit his report on what progress he has made regarding a bout between Dempsey and Harry Wills. The colonel said he knew nothing about a Tunney match and that Rickard said nothing about it at the time he promised to file his report. BASEBALL AT A GLIMPSE EASTERN COLORED LEAGUE W. L. PCT.

Phelan was asked about what action would be taken in the event that Richard submitted a report calling for a match between the champion and Gene Tunney, he said he would cross that bridge when he came to it. Board Favors Tunney During the symposium that had the scribes and the boxing bosses jumping all over the place, it was apparent on the surface that Chair man Farley and the colonel were for a match between Dempsey and Wills. But, and there appears to be nothing else but a riot of buts in this controversy. Col. Phelan said that he would be governed by whatever action the entire board took in the matter. Well, here is the situation summed up briefly. William Muldoon and George E. Brower of the regular board will vote for Tunney, while Jim Farley will register his vote for Wills. Those returns guarantee a fight between the champion and Tunney. SOX DIVIDE DOUBLE BILL Baltimore, Md., May 27—Baltimore Black Sox divided a double bill with the Bacharach, of Atlantic City.

The first four weeks play in the National League brought out a few facts about various clubs of the league which serves as a pointer for fans who delight in guessing at probable pennant winners. All eight clubs of the Western Circuit are fairly well fortified with real hurlers and each club can boast of at least one or two star performers on the bill, with the Kansas City Monarchs and American Giants having a slight edge, if past performances and dope at hand can be relied on as pointing to the direction the wind is blowing. St. Louis, Detroit, Indianapolis, and the Cuban Stars are not so far behind the above clubs in the matter om hurriers, and it is just possible that the Cubans will show the entire circuit some fancy pitching before the season drows to a close. The fact of the matter is that the Islanders already loom to have the makings of one of the best pitching staffs in the league. Their performance at Kansas City recently indicates this. Sunday at Chicago 99 Pts. The above are some of the point winners in the Fifth Annual Track and Field Meet at Hampton Institute held on Amherst Field Saturday, May 15. 1—Dustin Barkley, former Michigan tracker and present holder of the world's indoor and outdoor running jump record.

SOME REQUEST "Good things come to those who hold but so much badly loot whilst malice have been carefully for him and any kind of revenge said, but it has hung down the lowest ages, and most the RK's must Mullip." Pere Lazio must punch down poets. Paddy Mullins, the siphon the manager of the office of Henry Wills, person and boy, of the older, had an excellent ability to come to him through patient wiling. He has at last earned the dream of being in part of the team. That he has dreamed of making a world champion, particularly in the season of Henry Wills. When asked that Charger, from all past or present indictment, he has clearly and kindly well-understood related to the purposes of that division. Accidentally he had initially, the manager of the department plan, happened to be a very old boy in the person of Jack Kearns, former manager of Jack Bessing. Kearns was instrumental in helping Mullins' way in the investment. ```markdown ``` (By Associate 4 Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., May 27—The eyes of the Southern League fans and teams were concerned this week on the "tiny city" of the circuit Albany, Georgia, where the Black Purens of Birmingham and the Albany Giants were "off-pressing the mastery" of the diamond. When the series began Monday, Bill Gatewood's Albany Giants were leading the league and setting a dizzy pace for the other pennant contenders, having played nine games and won a like catabon. Joe Rush's Black Giants were occupying second place, and according to the veteran manager of Birmingham, were simply waiting for a crack at the league leaders. Lambert's Point . LOSCETO 17 LEAND The Lambert's Point Slides, just been inhale, was nosed out by the Newport News Y. M. C. A. team in a closely contested game by a score of 6-5 on the latter's diamond. Preserving a Man's Shirt Many times a man's shirt which is otherwise good has to be thrown away because the collar has cut it just below the neck band. Rip the band handle for a couple of inches above the worm place, then rip the shoulder yoke seams for a few inches. Cut out the worm parts of the shirt; fold over the seams till they fit smoothly in the collar. Stitch together again and a good shirt will result. The great quantities of gold and silver brought back to Europe following the discovery of America, caused a price inflation.

RAWS PLAN HAVE THE ONE The Norfolk Hawks in-ball team composed of Norfolk School boys, and managed by Elder A. Johnson, of B.C. Washington High School, hosts one of the first highest junior team of Norfolk. The Hawks played in Baskerville on May 14, where they defeated the Norfolk Boy's Club by the score of 12 to 10. The work of Anderson, King, Trent, Blair, and Hester was out-funding for the Hawks, while Hill, and Hester carried the burden of the Boy's Club. The Hawks locked hems with the Pain, Leaf Club of Douglas Park, Monday May 17th, and walked away with the big end of 10 to 10 score. The Barclays team came to Norfolk. Wednesday May 15th, to get even with the Hawks, but went with a sad story, for the Hawks home with a sad story, for the Hawks crushed them, winning 22-6. "Lafay" Biner fed them with fast one for eight innings and had the whole team guessing. Land, pitched the last inning to give Biner, a rest. Anderson was the star of the day with two home runs, two three base hits, and a single in five tries to the plate. Jackson also hit a home run, triple, and a double, in five times up. Biner with two doubles and a single helped to win his own game. Every man on the team hit hard and played well. Four pitchers were used by Barclay in an effort to stop the Hawks but all was in vain. 11. Hill led the hitting of the Berkley team, with a home run, double, and single. The Berkley team played a loose fielding game. GOES FOR STOCK OF FULL DRESS SUITS W. H. Haggie, roofer of the Variety Shop, 739 Church street, left the city Tuesday afternoon and for Washington, D.

Petersburg, Va., May 27—With a record of nine victories and one defeat the snappy V. N. I. baseball team easily won the C. I. A. A. opponent. The team batted 214 and fielded 975 in addition to the where it stole 42 bases or an average of over four per game. In the ten games played the team scored 104 hits or an average of over ten hits per game. Considering the fact that there is some very good pitching in the C. I. A. A., it gives the Petersburgers a terrible punch with the willow. Allen bore the brunt of the pitching duties for the Petersburgers winning seven games and losing one. Rowe who continues to be a big help to the on two two games in as many individual batting honors to Virginia who hit .457 in ten strikes. Scott and Payne were close batted with .450 and .350 respectively. Scott made the most hits with 18 among which were three triples. Quietly led the infield batting with an average of .988 above the outfield Scott led with an average of .965. The team had mostly good all around strength. In Durham the Virginiaans have on the lowest working catchers in the C L A A, a fast bracing and deep to runners at the plate, which is frequently overloaded in making a catcher.

It is in the infield that L. X. I. I. showed her greatest strength. Wiggins, Payne and Corsair are not only among the fastest infielders in College baseball but are all terrific hitters. While Corsair's average is not as high as that of Payne or Wiggins, he is the most dangerous man in a pinch and batted in the most runs for the Peteerburgers. In Allen the team has undeniably one of the best pitchers in College baseball today. In fact he has been made several flattering offers by several professional magnates to invite professional baseball. His control is almost unanny, while he has speed, curves and a good change of pace. He gave up an average of four hits per game and struck out on an average of over 60 men per game. In winning the championship it can be conceded of the Peteerburgers that they had an organization which well deserved to win. The record of the team is as follows: V. 22. 2. 1. 1. 1. Vn. Uibn 0 V.

(By Associated Negro Press) New York, May 26—An affection of many years standing was healed partially this week when Commissioner of Police McLaughlin, sitting a precedent, appointed Samuel J. Battles a police sergeant. Battles had often passed over repeatedly by the former commissioner Enright although he had led the eligibility list. Announcement of his appointment was accompanied by the declaration that his promotion was won by merit and that he would be expected to continue in his loyalty to the department and the city. WHEN Flies And Mosquitoes What Do We Raise 'Em For? You say, "We don't" Oh, yes we do! By "we" is meant "civilization" in general. We might not mean to be raising 'em, but in law possession is the first point of proof, and many folks have more than a speaking acquaintance with these and other "critters." What can we do about it? Look, learn, and labor. For it is written that: 1. We have flies and mosquitoes (yes, other "critters," too) first, because we let them breed; secondly, because if we let them get started, we let them live. Their breeding places are: For the Fly—not covered or disinfected and not regularly removed from premises. For the Mosquito— Stagnant water in large or small quantities, a whole swamp, a rain barrel, a tin can or other containers in the yard or field; also high grass and weeds.

BROWN, Secretary VEP PROMISES IMPROVED BUS SERVICE SOON (Continued from Page One) They are in an extremely poor condition, the springs on some of them protrude to such an extent that it is a risk to sit on them. Most of them break down regularly and passengers have to complete the trip on foot often after having ridden only a few blocks. (b) A large number of them are not equipped with bells. This necessitates shouting to the driver whenever a passenger wishes to right, and as the majority of persons begin calling a block ahead this gives rise to endless confusion to the driver and loss of time to the public. They are not only in a poor condition and poorly equipped but (c) are too small for the large amount of traffic. Frequently, a jitney whose capacity is 20 will have forty or more passengers. Every seat will be filled, all standing room taken and then passengers will be seated on the laps of other passengers. It is needless to call your attention to the danger such over-crowding may result in. As the entire jitney load is complaining to, questioning and abusing the driver it would not be at all surprising for him to become confused or angry and to lose control of his car. "Next, we wish to call your attention to the schedule. (d). Negro jitneys formerly ran on an eight-minute schedule and made money for their owners. Now one frequently waits forty minutes before one appears only to ride a few squares and have that break down. If a Douglass Park jitney is not in sight, a resident of that section can walk to the Church street car line before one arrives. Arriving there, if one is planning attending, one of the Negro churches on Bute, Queen or Bank streets or vicinity, you have about completed half your trip. You present having to pay 7 cents, a forty percent increase in fare and having then to walk half of the way to your destination, you are late already so you decide to complete the journey on foot. Many knowing of this delay will call a taxi. Has a common sight to see Black and Whites, Red Tops, Manhattan, etc., carrying women and children on Church. On week days they pass filled with workmen. They cannot pack or squeeze into the jitneys provided, they are hungry and bust stand on the corners exposed to rain, heat or cold rather than do this a group living in the same direction will call a taxi. If the records of these taxi companies are available we know that they will show a large increase in their Negro patronage since the change in the operation of the jitneys: "Last, (e) we wish to request that your company use every care in the selection of your drivers. Some time ago the local papers carried an account of a driver placed by your company in charge of a Negro jitney whose name was unknown and who had been picked from a job of painting at one of your quarters. This painting he had dropped in and begged for. Hundreds of unescorted Negro girls and women must use these jitneys at all hours of the WELLS THEATRE ALL NEXT WEEK Adolph Zukor and Jesse L.

Mr. Stancill needs no introduction to the Norfolk public as a director or dramatist, having staged and acted in several plays both classical and biblical, including "East Lynne," "Cast on the World," "Soul of Tarsus," which was his masterpiece. He also played the part of Shylock in a sketch of "Merchant of Venice." In fact Mr. Stancill is in a class by himself, and he will positively appcar as "Poor Married Man." The play is one that everybody should see. If you are married, "Poor Married Man" if you are single, see "Poor Married Man." To miss it, you will miss one of the greatest force comedies ever written.

It has been within the experience of many of these committees to have to threaten to report a driver for playing with women passengers; calling to collect their fares; stopping along the route collecting cabibles, having no visible faremen. Such an ambassadorlike procedure causes the public to wonder how the jitters can be expected to show proper retirements. "We know that the Negro lines paid well when they were run on an 8-minute schedule and were of a much better time than the present ones. Considering this we ask you to place burglar and better equipped jitneys on the Negro routes, to shorten the schedule, and to consider the matter of sending more highly paid and efficient drivers in order that the public and your company may receive increased service.

"I would suggest that this bus line have a uniform coating of paint in order that they may look respectable in the eyes of the colored contingent who solely have to ride in them. "The conductors of this bus line are in my opinion very lax about their person, in fact. I have noticed while riding in them that they are coulors, with short collars opened up and sleeves rolled, which makes a very unfavorable impression on your company in the eyes of our colored contingent of the city of Norfolk.

The mother heard the arguments, went out into the street and tried to persuade the men to behave themselves. Her son had been cut on the arm. She put herself between the two men when it appeared that more fighting was imminent, and begged them to go their way and not to fight. She put a mother's plea to the angry man, asking her son to go into the house and begging the other man to go his way. Godfrey, then was holding on automobile crankshaft in his hand.

Enterprising Group Secures Option On Factory To Place On Market Invention Of Negro Tire Maker. The Combination Puncture Proof Tire Company, composed of a group of enterprising colored men, has been organized and has secured option on an automobile tire factory at Yardville, N. J., for the manufacture of what is believed to be the most complete puncture proof tire invented. The tire is the invention of a colored men, and it is the ambition of the company that expects to manufacture it to finance the venture with colored capital. A model of the tire has been tried out and patents have been applied for, it is said. It is claimed to be absolutely blow-out proof; that it requires no inertub, puncture proof, and in a test it was found to withstand a pressure of 1400 pounds, while other tires—the highest priced—will stand not over 650 pounds. The tire was perfected by Samuel R. Ingram, president of the company that will manufacture it, who in 1922 began experimenting with automobile tires. He soon realized the possibilities of a genuine puncture proof tire, so in 1925 perfected his invention. A. Richardson is treasurer of the company, while Clarence W. Norman is its secretary.

Joseph Falks, 11 years old, of Oakwood, was instantly killed Monday on the Cottage Toll road, near the Lambert home, while riding on the left running board of a late model Ford voundster that his brother Charlie, 19, was driving and in which his father and another man were passengers, when it skidded into a Ford truck parked on the roadside. The boy's head was caught between the truck which was being used for hauling wood and the rear fender of his father's car and was badly crushed. Police officers investigating the accident stepped off 69 feet and three inches from where the roadster began to skid to where it struck the truck, indicating, they believe, that the death car was traveling at a terrific rate of speed. Detective Novitzky placed Charlie Falks under arrest on a charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of whiskey and a charge of manslaughter for causing the death of his brother.

FAITH SAVED HER FROM FIRE (By Associated Neuro Press.) Risley, N. J., May 27—While flames 'crackled ominously in the underbush and roared fiercely as they were fanned by a whipping breeze, Mrs. John Russell of this village locked herself in her room in a lonely little cottage in a clearing and "put her trust in God." It was first reported that she had lost her life when the hamlet was wiped out by Sunday's forest fire. Had not neighbors seen her plunge through the dense smoke and disappear?

Seymour the Mercurian Do men start with a specific goal in view and work toward it? Or do they make the most of the opportunity at hand and advance as the path opens out to new objectives? Although it is impossible to generalize on a subject in which individual experience differs so sharply; it is still one of the most facinating fields of speculation, for there are numerous instances of both theories right here in Norfolk. The career of Mr. Hubert Lee, well-known tailor and barber of upper Church street, bears out the latter principle. He did not say to himself in his early twenties, 'I will become an owner of a paying business in Norfolk, and thus advance my race and incidentally myself just that much further'; but that is what he has But as this little woman prayed, a miracle was wrought. She came out unscathed and her cottage was not harmed by the blazes which blacked twelve square acres of woodland all around her, destroyed eight houses and barns, one church, a clubhouse, and three automobiles. The whole countryside is marveling at the faith which moves mountains and causes fires to halt in their devastating course. The fire finally burned itself out on the banks of Great Ekkh Harbor river after volunteers and firemen had battled with it for hours. When Mrs. Russell dashed for her home a man attempted to restrain her. His clothing scoured by the flames and his hand burned he was obliged to turn back. It was then that the report was circulated that an unidentified woman had perished.

But he was never satisfied with his status as a laborer, he kept in mind his ideal of running a business of his own. So in 1918 he opened a barbershop at 1004 Church street. From that year his climb has been steady and sure. Today he is the proprietor of a fine tonsorial parlor at 1218 Church street and a well conducted suitorium at 1226 Church where expert cleaning, dyeing, altering and tailoring are done for the public.

A verdict for the defendants was returned by a jury in the Circuit Court before Judge Allan R. Hancelkel Tuesday in the $10,000 damage suit brought against Dr. J. L. Sapp and Dr. S. K. Wilson, well-known practicing physicians, by Edward Green, administrator, who charged the physicians with negligence contributing to the death of his wife. It was averred by the plaintiff that during the month of January the defendants were called to treat his wife at his home on O'Keefe street in a maternity case, and that their treatment of her was such as to contribute to her death. The jury returned its verdict after about ten minutes deliberation, Dr. W. A. Drake and Dr. J. Q. A. Webb testified for the defendants, while expert testimony for the plaintiff was given by a St. Vincent's Hospital physician. The defendants were represented by J. M. Harrison and Michael Cooper. were cordially invited to participate and their interest was stimulated by the knowledge that in a similar contest in Texas last year second place was won by a member of their race. Not only will this contest stimulate the growing of cotton in the state more economically, but the profit that is anticipated is expected to do much to enhance the economic status of the participants. Aside from this cordiality that is evidenced in the competition helps considerably toward better race relations in the state. Poro System Hair Dressing Classes Now Open On Terms to suit you.

Words can but feebly express the deep sympathy that the community, relatives and friends had for the bereaved family. Dewey had many worthy qualities, the 'outstanding one was his devotion to his parents. It seems that the commandment "Honor thy father and mother" was literally carried out by him. This in itself endeared him to others as well as his parents. If heaven's reward is to the obedient, we believe Dewey has received the welcome words, "Well Done." Ahoskie, N. C.

Even some of the people who formerly lived in the neighborhood and who were regarded as being of questionable reputation, hearing of the coming of the Community Center have quietly slipped away taking with them all of their belongings.

His pastorate at the First Presbyterian Church has been of the highest character; his service in the community has been extensive, devoted and unseifish. It is a fact that it would be difficult to find a minister who is more highly esteemed than the Rev. Mr. White preacher, a lovable pastor and a gentleman of the highest type. of the highest type. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Bolling Brook) The closing services of the pastor's installation took place Sunday. The services had been in progress all the week. On Monday night, May 17, Rev. A. S. Lomax, pastor of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, Oakwood, with his choir and congregation rendered services here. On Tuesday night, May 18, Rev. A. Cloyd, of Union Christian Church, Norfolk; Wednesday night, Rev. J. T James, of New Light Church of Christ, Oakwood; Thursday night, Rev. J. E. Williams, of First Baptist Church, Logan Park, and Sunday night last Rev. J. M. Johnson, of Antioch Baptist Church, Norfolk, filled the pulpit. Rev. E. T. Kee is the pastor. Dr. Crossfield's Talk Inspiring Norfolk's colored citizens were unanimous in their praise of the excellent address delivered by Dr. R. H. Crossfield, pastor of the First Christian Church (D disciples). He chose for his subject: "If I Could Live Life Over," stressing the fundamental qualities of a well rounded life, fitted for happy service in the community. His remarks were couched in beautiful phraseology and presented clearly the facts he wished the young people to grasp. He is a humorous speaker and never missed the opportunity to drive home the truth. A vote of thanks was extended to him at the conclusion of his address. The choice selections which were very well rendered by the Philharmonic Glee Club added much to the service. A vote of thanks was extended them also. The Young Ladies Bible Class of Bank Street Church, Delta Alpha of St. John's A. M. E. Church Church, Christ desire to thank the citizens for their hearty co-operation and support. NOREOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE BOTH OF CITY'S PRESBYTERIAN PULPITS VACANT --- Death of Rev. W. Scott Miller And Resignation of Rev. D. F. White Leaves Void In Ranks Of Presbyterians. Death and a resignation have worked to vacate both of Norfolk's Presbyterian pulpits. Rev. D. F. White, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church, has resigned and is soon to go to Indianapolis, where he will pastor Witherspoon Presbyterian Church, and on May 6, the death of Rev. W. Scott Miller, vacated the pulpit of Bethany Church. The Rev. Mr. Miller, who came to this city to pastor a year ago last January was now in fact a Presbyterian minister. He was a Congregationalist, but had joined the Presbytery, the rules of the Presbyterian Church permitting a Congregationalist minister to join the Presbytery and pastor Presbyterian churches. 55 Years of Age Dr. Miller was 55 years of age, and it is believed that overwork contributed largely to his death. He had been sick for about two months, a part of which time he was confined in a local hospital. He left the hospital, however, when his condition appeared to have considerably improved and went to his home, 2617 Ludlow street where he died Thursday, May 6, from a complication of diseases that rendered his mind blank during most of his illness. Although Dr. Miller was well known among the local clergy, on account of his being in the city only a short while, he was not so generally known by the public. He was regarded as a most energetic pastor, however, having come to Bethany when it was burdened with a debt of about $8,000. He was instrumental in lifting this obligation in about a year with the aid of the Presbytery. Last summer he left the city and went North with his church's debt on his mind. It was with his success in getting aid that lifted this burden from his congregation. This was a sequence effort and sapped the vitality of Dr. Miller, who already ailing. He was also instrumental in bringing the Presbytery here for its a nun's meeting last spring, but was himself confined in a hospital during its sessions. The deceased was a native of the far South, but a graduate of Yale University. He was both a lawyer and a preacher. He left no family in this city, his wife making her home in Baltimore, while a son and a daughter resided in Boston. The daughter came here to attend the church, which was preached at Bethany Presbyterian Church by Rev. D. F. White, on Sunday, May 8. His remains were interred in Calvaryemetery. REV. ASKEW BANQUETED REV. ASKWE BANQUETED A banquet was given in honor of Rev. J. R. Askew and wife, at the Union Baptist Church, Smith's Corner, on last S u n d a y, after he had preached for the children of Israel, by Brother Myers Smith. A great ovation was given by the Children of Israel. Rev. Mr. Askew will preach this Sunday at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, Princess Anne county, near the courthouse. Subject at 11 a. m., "Come Out of the Rain of Superstition." Lecture at 8 p. m., "Unity and Love and Stay in the South is the Only Hope for the Colored Man." FIRST BAPTIST CHUHCH (Berkley Ave.) The pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond spoke Sunday morning from Jeremiah 50:4, "Judah and Israel coming together." He told of how only little things cause divisions, such as bad advice, selfishness and enviousness. He pleaded with his people to confess their sins and ask for forgiveness. At night the Holy Communion was administered. Many were present and enjoyed the service. Monday night began a week of revival being conducted by Rev. Joseph Randolph, or Fanny Va., an Amherst man, of Fanny Va. and C. Diamond, there were many present. Rev. Randolph is a powerful speaker. Great things are being looked forward to during this revival. Rev. Randolph will preach at each service next Sunday. All are invited to hear him. ST. MARK'S COMMUNITY CHURCH (St. Julian & Courtney Aves.) Following an interesting Sunday reviewed by Mr. Fox, regular church services began. The morn sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Hames, on the subject: "Catching Men." T he Union Christian Endeavor League conducted services at its regular hour. The league is planning to give an entertainment for the benefit of the church. Rev. Mr. Hames preached another stirring sermon at night. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH On last Sunday morning an interesting Sunday school was held in the leadership of the Supt., Mrs. M. B. Lee. The attendance was good and all felt benefited by having come, out. The church services were indeed inspiring, having two splendid sermons by Rev. R. L. Harris, o f Berkley, associate pastor of Central Baptist Church. Morning subject: "Putting on the Whole Armour." Eph. 6:11. The night subject was, "The Call of the Master," St. John 11:26. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH "The Master is come and calleth for thee," St. John 11:28, "A Call to the Church," was the theme upon which the pastor spoke. Said Dr. Berry, "the Lord came in his perfect humanity. He came after all other things had failed. Martina called him Master, because he ruled and governed." It was a sermon delivered with Rev. Dr. Berry's characteristic cloquence and heard by a large crowd, a number of seats in the gallery being taken. Minister Again Called From This City The Union Baptist Temple, Atlantic City, N. J., has unanimously extended a call to the Rev. A. Hobbs, pastor of the Jerusalem Baptist Church to become its pastor. A year ago one of the splendid churches of Washington, D. C., extended a call to Rev. Mr. Hobbs, but he declined the call to remain with the Jerusalem Baptist Church here. The coming of Rev. Mr. Hobbs to the Jerusalem Baptist Church, has meant all to the church. The membership is proud of their pastor, and it is certain they will strive to retain him. ST. PAUL C. M. E. CHURCH Services at St. Paul were very good last Sunday, beginning with an inspiring Sunday school and a good attendance. The Live Wire Class was addressed by Mr. David E. Edwards. The Beacon Light Class, Miss Mary Archer, teacher, raised the largest amount of money. The pastor arrived Sunday morning in time to conduct the services and preach at 11:30 from St. John 11:3, "Sending for Jesus," and at night from Isaiah 63:1, "Who is this that cometh from Eden, etc." These two sermons were able delivered. The pastor will preach a special sermon next Sunday morning.

SELDEN First United Presbyterian Church Thursday, June 3, 8 p. m. A Silver Offering—Auspices Men's Circle J. E. DIGGS, President D. F. WHITE, Secretary 13-YEAR-OLD SON HELD IN DEATH OF FATHER Suffolk, Va., May 26—Peter Hill, who lived with his three children, two boys 13 and 11 years of age and a 5 year old daughter, was found with his head shot off at his home near Capron Monday night, and his 13 year old son, Jimmie Hill, is held in Courtland jail, pending investigation of the death of his father. Tom Hill, the younger boy, is held in the Southampton county almshouse for his protection. People going to the Hill home Monday night were greeted with the gruesome spectacle of the father lying dead in a pool of blood while the frightened girl crouched in a corner. Jimmie Hill told the officers that a yellow man came to the house about 5 o'clock, waited around for Peter Hill and that he heard the two men "fussing." Tom Hill declared that he was about a mile off when the shooting is believed to have occurred. The small sister told the officers that her father reprimanded the boys on his arrival for loafing around Capron instead of coming home and doing their chores, and that Jimmie, when threatened with a licking seized the shot gun and killed Peter Hill. Evidence is that the shots were fired from a low angle. The discharged shot gun is also held. Sheriff Bell of Southampton county is continuing the investigation. William S. Holland, Suffolk attorney, while in Courtland today, visited the jail with H. B. McLemore, clerk of Southampton court, and saw the boy, who exhibited wounds on his back which showed the flesh cut almost to the bone. The boy said his father had beaten him last Friday because he left a door open and a dog got in and "stole some meat." County authorities held Jimmie Hill after his five-year old sister told them that Jimmie killed his father. The beating of last Friday and fear of further beatings are seen by the authoritis as a possible motive for the killing. U. P. Church Finance Campaign A Success The First United Presbyterian Church has just completed the first stage of a campaign for funds to repair the church building and do other needed improvements around the church property. The result was announced by the pastor, Rev. D. F. White, in connection with the report of the "Buy A Brick" Committee, last Sabbath morning. This committee reported $236.51 raised. Mrs. Sarah Epps was the chairman of this committee and deserves great credit for her management of the same. Miss Geneva M. Brock, who did such splendid service as head of the Carnival raised $171.61 some time since, conducted an Auction Sale to augment the amount already on hand and raised $17.24 making her entire service net, $218.75.

CHAPTER VIII - Dirk is eight years old when his father dies, and he is just barely able to living for her boy and himself, rise to the occasion, and, with Dirk, takes a truckload of materials to the Chicago market. CHAPTER VIII IF WOULD be enchanting to be able to record that Sellaan, next, had phenomenal success, disgust of her carefully bunched nuts to great advantage, driving off off up Halsted street toward Pradie with a goodly profit during in her scuffed leather purse, the truth is that she had a day so deteriorating, so cutstrophe, as would have discouraged most men and certainly any women less des- serted and determined. The night, but to three o'clock blackness, the street was already aslir. She brushed her skirt to rld it of the clinging hay, tilded herself as she could. Leaving Dirk still she, called Pom from beneath the wagon to act as sentinel at the board, and crossed the street to Spankoebel's. She knew data, and he her. He would let wash at the facet at the rear house. She would hot coffeeflush the warm and revivify them. They would eat the sandwiches left from light before. Sehna entered the long room here was something heartening, reverting above Chris' clean white skin, his ruddy color. From the tables at the rear came sounds of laughter and frying, and the gracious coffee and of frying pork and pellet. Sehna approached Chris. His face landed out through the skin like a sun in a fog. "Well, does it all the while?" Then he opened her. "I'm Goutte!—why, Ms. DeJong!" He wiped his hand on a convenient towel, extended it in sympathy to the ear. "I heared," he said, "I speak his harmlincture made words doubly effective. I come in with the lond, Mr. Knucklehead. The with the I. and He. I asleep on the wagon. May I him over here to clean him a little before breakfast?" Bear! Sure! Sure! He unsusin' struck him. "You can't sleep the wagon, Mis' DeJong! Um, um—!" Yes. It wasn't bad. The boy takes the night through. I slept, quite a little." Why you didn't come here? At the look in Selina's face he knew then. "For nothing and the boy could sleep here." I hated that! "Don't talk dumb, Me. DeJong. Did the time the rooms is vacant, very cents, and pay me you got it. But anyway you come in regal with the load, that isn't for womans." There no one to do it for me, body Jan. And he's worse than October. After that, maybe— a voice trailed off. It's hard to beefiful at three in the morning, breakfast. went to the little wash room he felt better immediately had water vigorously, combed hair. She returned to the wagon and a pain-struck bump but that he had been dehydrated by his mother. Fifteen minutes later the two were seated at a table on which was spread what Chris Spunknebel considered an adequate breakfast. A heartening enough beginning for the day, and a deceptive. The Haymarket buyers did not want to purchase its vegetables from Olive DeFeng. It wasn't used in buying of women, but to selling to them. Selina had taken the covers off her vegetables. They were revealed crisp, fresh, color. But Selina knew must he be sold now, quickly. When the leaves began to wilt, the edges of the cauliflower heads curled ever so slightly, turned brown and limp, their value decreased by half, even though the heads themselves remained white and down. The street came the buyers—little black-eyed swarthy men; plump, short-sleeved, greasy men; shrewd, tobacco-chewing men in overalls. Stold red Dutch faces, sunburned. Lean, dark foreign faces. Shouting, clatter, turmoil. The day broke warm. The sun rose red. It would be a humid September day such as frequently cane in the autumn to this lake region. The sun would move quickly this morning. Afternoon would find it worthless. The peddlers looked at her bunched bouquets, glanced at her, passed her by. It was not unkindness that prompted them, but a certain shyness, a fear of the unaccented. Her wares were tempting but they passed her by with the instinct that she would have against that which is unpleasant. By nine o'clock trading began to fall off. In a paddle Sellina realized that the sales she had made amounted to little more than two dollars. If she stayed there until noon she might double that, but no more. In desperation she harnessed the horses, threading her way out of the swarming street, and made for South Water street farther east. Here were the commission houses. She knew that Perus had sometimes left his entire load with an established dealer her, to be sold on commission. She remembered the name-Talcott—though she did not know the exact location. The boy had been almost incredibly patient and good. As the wagon had stood steadily next his mother, had busied himself vastly assisting him, his self-pitiful wife; had picked wilted leaves, brought forward the freshest and crispest vegetables. But now she saw that he was drooping a little as were her wares, the heat and the absence from accustomed soil. "Where we going now, point?" "To another street, Sobig—" "Dirk!" "—Dick, where there's a man who'll buy all our stuff at once- maybe. Won't that be fine! Then we'll go home. You help mother find his name over the store. Talc- to-tal—cool double. William Hunt had known Pervus and Tervus' father before him, and had adjudged them honest, ad- mire men. But of their garden truck he had small opinion. In his doorway, he eyed the spare little figure that appeared before him all in rusty black, with its strained unlousy face, its great deep-sunk eyes. "Delong, elo! Sorry to hear to hear your loss, na'ma. Pervus was a fine lad. No great shakes at truck farm- ing, though. His widow, him! "Hm." he, he saw, he was no dull-willow farm woman; no stold Dutch woman trucker. He went out to her wagon, tweaked the boy's brown check. "Waime! now, Ms. Delong, you got a right smart lot of garden stuff here and it looks pretty good. Yessir, pretty good. But you’re too late. Ten, pret near." "Oh, no!" cried Sinaa. "Oh, no! Not too late!" at the agony it he voice he looked at her sharply. "Tell you what, mebble I can move half of em along for you. But stuff don’t keep this weather. Turns wilty and my trade won’t touch it. First trip in?" She wiped her face that was damp and yet cold to the touch. "Mist—trip in." Suddenly she was finding it absurdly hard to break down to the men! "George! Ben! Ben! This stuff in! Half of it. The best. Send you check tomorrow, Mrs. Delong." One hand on the seat, she prepared to climb up again—did step to the hub. You saw her shabby, absurd side hoots that were so much too big for the slim little feet. "If you're just buying my stuff because you're sorry for me—" The Fenke pride. "Don't do business that way. Don't afford to, mala. My dater she's sturdy to be a singer. In Italy now, Cartline is, and costs like all get-out. Takes all the money I can scrape together, just a nap. There was little coffee in Selina's face now. Oh, Mr. Tuttle. You don't have thought she had it, from her face. She began to thank him, gravely. "Now, that's all right, Mis' DeJong. I notice your stuff's bunched kind of entry, and all of a size, Flixin' to do that way right. "Yes. I thought you looked prettier that our course vegetables aren't supposed to look pretty. I expect" she stammered, stowed. You fix 'em pretty like that and bring 'em in to me first thing, or send 'em. My trade, they like their stuff kind of special. Yessir." As xam game up the felms he stood again in his doorway, cool, WM TALCO FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MORRIS As She Gathered Up the Reina He Stood in His Doorway, Cool, Remote. remote, unlighted cigar in his mouth, white-hand trucks rattled past him, burrets and slumps thumped to the sidewalk in front of him, wheels and hoofs and slumps made a great clamor all about him. "We going home now?" demanded Dirt. "We going home now? I'm hungry." "Yes, lamb." Two dollars in her pocket. "All yesterday's grit troll, and all today's and months of labor behind those two days. Two dollars in the pocket of her black culicipertic. "We'll get something to eat when we drive out a ways. Some milk and bread and cheese." The sun was very hot. She took the boy's hat off, passed her tender work-calloused hand over the damp hair that clung to his forehead. She made up her mind to drive east and then south. Pervus had sometimes achieved a fine sale to outlying grocers. Jan's face if she came home with half the load still on the wagon! And what of the unpaid bills? She had, perhaps, thirty dollars. She was awed, awed, awed more than that. Fear shook her. She told herself she was tired, nervous. That terrible week. And now this. The heat, soon they'd be home, she and Disk. The comfort of it, the peace of it. Safe, desirable, suddenly dear. No work for a woman, this! Well, perhaps they were right. Down Wabash avenue, with the L trains thundering overland and her horses, frightened and uneasy with the unacustomed rour and chongqi of traffic. It was terribly hot. The boy's eyes popped with excitement and bewilderment. "Pretty soon," Sellin said. The precurses she showed him the show. "Pretty soon, Prairie avenue. Great big houses and hawns, all quiet." She even manuged a smile. "I like it better home." Prairie avenue at last, turning in at Sixteenth street. It was like calm after a storm. Selina felt battered, spent. Then another thought came to her. Her vegetables, canvas covered, were fresher than those in the near-by markets. Why not try to sell some of them here, in these big houses? In an hour she might earn a few dollars this way at retail prices slightly less than those asked by the grocers of the neighborhood. Agilely she stepped down the wheel, gave the reins to Dirk. She filled a large market basket with the finest and freshest of her stock and with this on her arm looked up a moment at the house in front of which she had stopped. The kitch- on entrance, she knew, was by way of the alley at the back, but this she would not take. Across the sidewalk, down a little flight of stone steps, into the vestibule under the porch. She looked up, "I said the desks behind it," said Selina. "I can't! I can't!" cried all the prim dim Vermont Peakes, In chorus, "All right, Starve to death and then take them the farm and Dirk, then." At that she pulled the knob hard. Jangle went the bell in the hall. Again. Again. Footsteps up the hall. The door opened to disclose a large woman, high cheek-boned, in a work apron. "Good morning," said Selina. "Would you like some fresh country vegetables?" "No." She half shut the door, opened it again to ask, "Got any fresh eggs or butter? At Selina's negative she closed the door, bolted it. Well, that was all right. Nothing so terrible about that, Selina told herself. Simply hadn't wanted any vegetables. The next house, and the next, and the next. Up one side of the street, and along the way she reaffirmed her basket. At one house she sold a quarter's worth. Fifteen at another, Twenty cents here. Almost fifty there. Twenty-first street—Twenty-fifth—Twenty-eighth. She had over four dollars in her purse. Dirk was weary now and hungry to the point of tears. "The last house," Selina promised him, "the very last one. After this one we'll go home." The last house. She had almost five dollars, earned in the last hour, "just five minutes," she said to Dirk, "going to the grocery store, her husband. Her arms full of vegetables which she was about to place in the basket at her feet she heard at her elbow; "Now, then, where's your license?" She turned. a policeman at her side. "License?" "Yell, you heard me. License. Where's your peddler's license? You got one, I's pose." "Why, no. No." She stared at him still. "Well, say, where d'yе think you are, peddler'l without a license? A good mind to run you in. Get along out of here, you and the kid. Leave me ketchup you around here again!" NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Journal and Guide Readers Comment On the Rev. C.P. Madison's Charges The Freshmen's Viewpoint Editor of the Journals; and Guide: We are a group of young men of the school. We do not wish to give our name individually, as yet, but are willing to do such later if necessary. We wish to criticise Rev. Madison's sermon, "Some Norfolk Teachers Unfit." We think that Rev. Madison was very much wrong; indeed when he spoke of the characters in certain scenes of the Browskin Follies, produced under the direction of the playwright, such plays without such abusive criticisms of the characters, why can't we? Why try to demoralize the characters because they put their ability and talent into practice? Because our characters are so serious that she is unfit or disqualified for her position. That specific part must be played as well as the rest. Certainly success couldn't have been accomplished without those who are intelligent for her position. That intelligent people never bow to ignorance. Had not the play been of interest to the public, certainly the manager of the Attacks Theatre would not have turned away at least seventy-five years. Defending our girls who participated in the play, we wish to say that the play was perfectly clean and normal. We saw that kind and kindness the young ladies would undertake such participation with the opposition of their parents. Certainly our girls have higher morals and ideals. Of course we will admit that Menloo. Then too, as far as the School Board is concerned, Mr. Madison's plan for this step (we are glad to say) shall be very fruitless. What evidence has he that our teachers are disqualified. We were women teachers of this school or any other school and a person averse to disqualified for our positions, we would regard it as an insult. "What's the trouble, officer?" said a woman's voice. A smart open carriage of the type known as the horse whose harness shone with metal. "What's the trouble, Reilly?" The woman stepped out of the victoria. "Woman peddling without a license, Mrs. Arnold. You got to watch 'em like a hawk. . . . Get along wif you, then." He put a hand on Sellina's shoulder and gave her a gentle push. There shook Sellina from head to foot such a passion, such a storm of outraged sensibilities, as to cause street, victoria, silk-clad woman, horses, and policemen to swim and ride. The rage of a fastidious woman who had bad on an alien male hand put upon her. Her face was white. Her eyes glowed black, enormous. She seemed tall, maltesic even. "Take your hand off me!" Her speech was clipped, chvrnt. "How dare you touch me! How dare you take! "The blazing eyes in the white mask. He took his hand from her shoulder. The red surged into her face. A tunned weather-booten toll-worn woman, her abundant hair skewered into a knob and hell held gray-blue hair, her small skirt and the mud of the wagon wheel, a pair of old side boots on her slim feet, a gratesquely battered old hat (her husband's) on her head, her arms full of ears of sweet corn, and carrots, and radishes and bunches of beets; a woman with bad teeth, flat breasts—even then Julie had known her by her eyes. And her stared and then run to her in her silk dress, and she wore a pair of Sinnn. My dear! My dear! with a soil of sorbion and ploy. "My dear!" And had taken Sellna, carrots, beets, corn and radishes in her arms. The vegetables lay scattered all about them on the sidewalk in front of Jille Hempel Arnold's great stone house on Prairie avenue. But strungly enough it had been Sellna who had done the comforting, patting Julle's plump silken shoulder and saying, over the fence, "There there! It's all right, Julle. It's all right. Don't cry, What's there to cry for! Sh-sh! It's all right." Julie lifted her head in its modish black plumed hat, wiped her eyes, blew her nose. "Go along with you, do," she said to Reilly, the policeman, using his very words to Sellina. "I'm going to report you to Arnold. I'm going to do." And you know what that means. "Well, now, Mrs. Arnold, mm'am. I was only doing my duty. How did I know the lady was a friend of yours? Sure, I-" He surveyed Sellina, cart, jaded horses, wilted vegetables. And why not?" demanded Julie with an unpreromunishedness. "Why not, I'd like to know? Do get along with you." He got along, a defeated officer of the law, and a bitter. And now it was Julie who surveyed Selina, cart, Dirk, faded horses, wilted left over vegetables. "Selina, whatever in the world! What are you doing with—" She caught sight of Selina's absurd boots then and she began to cry again. At that Selina's overwrought nerves snapped and she began to laugh, hysterically. It frightened Julie, that laughter. "Selina, don't! Come in the house with me. What are you laughing at Selina. With shaking finger Selina was pointing at the vegetables that lay tumbled at her feet. "Do you see the cabbage, Julie? Do you remember how I used to despise Mrs. Teebbit's because she used to have boiled cabbage on Monday nights?" "That's nothing to laugh at. Is it Stop laughing, this minute, Selina Peake!" "I till stop. I've stopped now. I was just laughing at my ignorance. Sweat and blood and health and youth go into every cabbage. Did you know that, Julie? One doesn't despise them as food, knowing that. Come, climb down, Dirk. Here's a lady mother used to know—oh, years and years ago, when she was a girl. Thousands of years ago." (Continued next week) We boost our teachers, our girls and our school. Anyone who undertakes to demoralize our teachers, our girls and our school is due criticisms from us. We aren't perfect. There isn't a creature who dwelleth upon the face of the earth who is perfect—but, we can demand that which is due us. We think Rev. Madison was wrong (because she's referring to a certain girl who participated in the play), by calling her name or forespeaking the future that she would bring to her parents. Certainly there were some teachers who were really embarrassed at some remarks it's remarked on; they weren't guilty of the accusation but are members of the Washington Faculty. In conclusion we wish to ask Mr. Madison to: Look twice before you Leap Think twice before you Speak Hoping that our criticisms he accepted friendly, we are. Clean Out The Church First Editor Journal and Guide. Please allow me space in your valuable book to say a word in regard to the Madison-Sykes article in your issue of May 22, 1920. Ufft teachers must go "the Rev. Williams must app, and as I read his words I cannot feel that he has been fair to the teachers and pupils who took part in the play that provided the occasion for his sermon. Ufft teachers should so, in two. But an instructor comes from the play in the Church as well. All of our religious training comes from the church, and in many instances from the unfit teachers. People who tell us to do one thing and do the thing they tell us not to do themselves. I cannot see any harm in the entertainment and I do not understand why Miss Sykes suggests that the Rev. Mr. Madison should have conveyed his thoughts to them privately. Clean out our Church in the Away school and in the school and in the church also. Mr. Madison can find more word than he can accomplish in the church. There are thousands of unfit preschools, desciens, and class leaders, who should be put on the right path. When the church is weak, when we can see preachers and religious leaders doing things unbecoming, we are harmed. Strengthen the church, strengthen the preacher, the class leader, the choir singer. Let their actions he above criticism and then the public will strengthen it. As for me personally, I will follow any man who teaches me right from wrong and does the right himself. But away with the group who teach me right and do the wrong themselves, in the schools and churches, as well. It is not my object to ridicule the church, so more than it was Mr. Madison's object to ridicule the teachers and students of the Skin Pollies, but just like he, it my intention so软叫 my opinion. Preachers With Nothing To Do Editor Journal and Guide: From the earliest days of Negro life in America, the preacher has been recognized as the leader of his people by members of both races. Although, masters were so cruel that they would not allow a slave to handle a book or newspaper, out of which came friendly feelings for the camp meetings. The preacher, therefore, has had influence with the largest groups of people. Preachers can reach the Negroes as no one else can. The preacher has come time to devote his life to the work of education daily confronting our people; problems of weight. Christ came to this world to minister to the spiritual needs, but He began with the temporal needs. His first miracle was a sign that He came not to call men out of the ordinary duties of the church, but would be children, not heroes and monks. The basis of citizenship is the home. There are a few if any preachers, in this or any other city, even if there are just two members in their family, who live in two or three rooms. They know that they have members of their flock, who have large families, who live under crowded and congested conditions. Why don't these preachers suggest to these members ways of improving their living conditions. It may be true because of economic conditions. If it is because of economic conditions, tell them the proper means of lightening their burdens. Preachers have known the living conditions of some of their members, yet they have boasted in their pulps that these persons have given ten, fifteen and even twenty-five dollars in Church and gave it for them, when they could not afford it. Is this exerting the proper influence? Preachers know, that there are families in their churches in which the children do not receive proper attention because of ignorance on the part of the parents. Both parents have to work and leave children on the merries of the street; to pick up bad habits of character, become careless about their food and learn countless things which mean future destruction. Only one church in the city has made any effort in that direction. A hand of preachers could surely become as effective in the care of children as Mrs. Payne has been. Preachers know that their decent, clean living members are forced to live side by side with all sorts of vice and misdeeds. They are not used by their churches are forced to neighbors with hoarders and prostitutes and live in constant fear lost their lives and the lives of their sons and daughters. They are not used their time and investigate these things. Use their influence and ingenuity to raise money so as to legally fight these conditions. This can be done with the concerted effort of preachers Dr. C. S. Morris did this much alone. Preachers in this city, know that Negro high school teachers are paid less elementary school teachers are paid. If preachers can get together to criticise the poor work of teachers, surely they can hold meetings to be heard by many of the students who under consideration for service. Preachers in this city, know that connected with every school, there is a home and school league which tends to bring home and school in a closer alliance. These preachers are not members of these leagues, neither do they contribute Washingtonian Boosters (Freshman II Class) 422 East Charlotte St. Norfolk, Vn. May 21, 1896 Samuel B. Solomon The Church Must Face New Problems, Says Dr. George E. Haynes anything to them. If you visit a rural church, you can always hear notice of the league meetings. Preachers should emphasize them. Preachers of this city have expensive automobiles, and they have invalids among their congregations who are shut in and need the country nic, but they never think of them. These preachers never think to fill their automobiles with provisions and drive through the slums of the city and distribute nims. Their automobiles are for their own pleasure. Preachers of this city have become very interested in money making. There is a church that had paid all of its debts without charging any admission for entrance; but when it chose a new preacher, the bars went up. Are the members all satisfied, or was this thrust upon them by the preacher? Is that church in any better financial condition? There are some poor working people of this city paying on worthless stocks which their preachers encouraged then to buy. Should the preacher dubble into stocks and bonds? Preachers of this city could use their influence to bring about better inter-financial conditions. The N. A. A. C. P. has driven for membership. The preacher should get behind this and not-manager it. Push it in every way. The K. K. K. is very busy in our city. It even pains to erect a public temple, so says one of our leading dancers. The preachers can help their people so prepared for whatever may come to them that the K. K. K. stands for white supremacy. Last, but not least, the preachers of our city should follow the injunction of our Lord, when he said in Matt. 7:5, "Thou hypnificer first cast out the inseme own eye and thou then she clearst out the cast out the inseme eye in thy thighs." Stop being cowards. Fighting from afar. Get off the freck. Get out of the automobiles and face some of these things squarely. And in the words of Paul in Galatians 6:1-3: "If a man be overweight, faulty, if a man be overweight, faulty, such a person should restore such a in the spirit of meekness considering yourself left thou also be tempted." For if a man think himself to be something when he is nothing he die. What Are The Facts Editor Journal and Guide: I have heard a number of unfavorable comments recording Rev. C. P. Madison's recent sermon on the need teachers, but, strange to say, he has not heard one yet (and the identity of the author (rebuttal), except that part of Miss Daisy Sykes' published reply which dealt with "Brownskin Follies". In this particular she addressed her answer to the charges made. I have unfavorable comments on her letter was simply an effort at retaliation—"get the note of your own eye" attitude. Some have made no attempt to argue whether or not there is any truth in what Dr. Madison said, but he has never should not have made it public denunciation, but should have taken these matters up privately. These commends are beside the point. School teachers are in a very real sense public servants. They are on the public payroll, and the conduct of a public servant, open or closed, Rev Mr. Madison or any other taxpayer has a right to publicly criticize public servants from the President of the United States down to the garbage collector, and with the pulpit, this right becomes a duty. Then we all know that the searchlight of publicity is the light that is not saying that vice exists among the teachers, nor am I saying anything in support of the charges made, but I do say that an individual serving the public and drawing the public's money can hope to cease public criticism only on the that he appears spiritually before the and even then he may not escape. Moreover, the mothers and fathers of this city are not so much concerned about how or where Rev. Madison said what he did. What they want to know is whether or not his occupations are based on food. That is the question to be answered. No attempt to disguise the energy, nor any "you are no better than I," "get the made out of your own oye" argument is answer at all to the question whose answer would not be allowed to throw the public off the real issue involved—whether there The Church New Problem Dr. George Speaking before the General Conference of the Colored Episcopal Church in Kansas City, Friday night, Dr. George E. Haynes, Secretary Commission on the Church and Race Relations, Federal Councils of Churches, said in part: "The Negro group must meet the conditions of the times through organization. What organization has the Negro comparable to the Negro Church? First, in the matter of numbers there are more Negroes actually enrolled in Negro church denominations than in all the other organizations put together-except the secret societies. "Look at the matter of strength of age and survival. The Negro Church is more than one hundred years old and has survived and grown each decade. What is the evidence when we turn to the matter of financial power and support? Today there is probably more money invested in Negro church property than any other one phase of Negro economic life, and probably Negro churches today raise more money for general and specific purposes all of Negro business." Church Is Unique "Turn, if you will, to the personnel. With all the criticism of its ministry, from local preachers to bishops and general officers, presidents and moderators, there is probably more brain and character within the ranks of the leadership of the church than in any other of our professional groups are teachers in our schools, doing the things Rev. Madison insinuated they are doing or not. If there are not let those who are criticizing the sermon come out and declare that the pastor is mistaken and be hold to assert that they have the power of what he says he has to do of what he said. * Some of his critics have tried to raise the race issue, taking the view that our videos, when we have them, ought not to be exposed. That idea is ridiculous. A race issue is a vice and for the sake of race or for any other reason keeps silent about it, virtually becomes a party to it. We cannot afford to countenance a breaking down of morals simply to avoid expos- Again, I heard the sermon, and in justice to the Rev. Mr. Madison, I can truthfully state that he did not say half as much concerning certain teachers as is commonly rumored on the radio. He united to mention the Johannine parties, the "putting" and "backbitching" parties, which it is rumored that some of our high-up teachers attend, and these rumors are not confined to certain classes. They are so common as to be considered a normal occurrence by the Rev. Madison mention anything about any school teachers vamping young men students, mother rumor very well circulated about the city. The pastor said he had told only half, and I am not sure if he was referring to what other people are freely gossiping about the streets, and that is a fact. Even if these rumors, reports, insinuations, etc. are doubted, pray why on earth do they continually crop up if they are untrue, the good people of this country are not sure if there is even a hint of truth behind them, they ought to be smoked out. People cannot escape the consequences of their acts. There is no such thing as absolute secrecy. What is done in the dark come out in the light, so long human eyes see and human tongues see. There is absolutely no safety in vice. Now, personally, I do not know if the institutions made by Rev. Madison are true or not, but I do know that people who have been taught to thee he points them from his pulpit. Axinah is not whether he was right in making a public deenunciation or not, that is not worth a pityure. What we want to know is, did he tell the truth or did he teach thee to thee he told the truth his duty teaches him to thee he told the truth matter to a conclusion that will protect the taxpayers; if he did not tell the truth, his critics should make that fact known and the public will visit merited condemnation upon him for his action. Question of veracity. Nothing else counts. Pro Bono Publico. Absurd Editor Journal and Guide: Referring to an article in your last publication of unit teachers because they dance and present a melodramat at a theatre, they deem it rather absurd to feature one affair as being unit or a scandal when practically the same thing is done by or under those who criticize the school's performance, be sainted, the proceeds of the "Play Brown Skin Pollies", would go to some charity fund or the like, it would have gone on unchallenged like others than the minister was stung in which school boys and girls were taught to dance and to do other stunts to make their play worth while, but nothing was said of it except was made, was made to the city council for a public perk for our kids to play in, as of danceing. If as much stress was laid upon the urgent need of the school to protect the harm of dancing. If as much interest was involved in producing a hospital for our sick, as is involved in scandalizing a person that dances or performs, would have them all or very soon If our leaders would instill into the minds of our race the art and benefits of patronizing colored enterprises instead of trying to bolster some one for diction And if we spent investigating and reporting untimely matter to the school board were used to influence the city officials to help make our general living condition better, all would profit more and be better recognized by others. James G. Hendrieks, 922 Winter Street, Norfolk, Va. except probably the teaching profession. But after all, wherein lies the organized power of the church? The church is the most unique of our institutions and agencies. No other could survive on the basis it does. Could the theatres last six months by giving everybody the privilege who came to make a voluntary collection for its support? "The Protestant Negro churches have grown rapidly the past sixty years. With their bishops, their presidents of conventions, moderators, district superintendents, and other general officers and their local ministers they have made great headway in organizing and serving the people in many ways. "What is the call, now, that comes as the great challenge of this our day to the giant organized power in the Negro church? There are two types of things that the Negro church must confront if it is to justify its place of power and responsibility. (1) It must realize its opportunity and begin to function in that opportunity as the great agent for a dealing with the social and community conditions in the internal life of the Negro people. Let me be concrete. In every one of the great centers of population now numbering more than 70 cities where Negroes are congregated in great numbers the problem of their place in industry is no longer and can no longer be the question of the individual. The only way this situation can be met SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1926 SENATE HOLDS HEARING ON FISH MONUMENT-BILL Emmett J. Scott, West Hamilton And Representative Fish Assert Measure Involves No Segregation. Washington, D. C., May 25—On Friday, May 21, 1926, the Bill recently passed by the House of Representatives authorizing the erection of a monument in France to commemorate the valiant services of the certain units of the 93rd Division (provisional) composed of the Old Fifteenth New York Regiment; the Old Eighth Illinois Regiment; First Separate Battalion, Washington, D. C.; First Separate Company, Massachusetts; N in the Separate Battalion, Ohio; was considered by the Military Affairs Committee of the United State. Senate. The hearing lasted from 10:30 to 12 o'clock when the Senate convened, and was held with Congressman Hamilton Fish, of New York City, present to support the measure. Also present with him to support the measure were Doctor Emmett S. Sewell, Sergeant of Howard University, who served as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War during the World conflict, and Major West A. Hamilton, a member of the First Separate Battalion when it went to war, present editor of the Washington Sentinel, and a member of the American Legion. The point was emphasized and made clear over and over again by Congressman Fish, Doctor Scott, and Major Hamilton that no question of segregation is involved for the reason that the monument is not to bear any inscription with a race designation. It was specifically brought to the attention of the Committee that the War Department itself proscribed the colored soldier during the war, forcing the soldier to wear a uniform in colored units; to fight as colored soldiers in colored units; to die as a soldier in colored units; but when the time for such recognition to come, the suggestion is made that colored soldiers' prowess be blanketed under the general term of American soldiers. is by organized power. Long ago the white labor unions would have taken a different attitude toward the Negro worker if the organized power in the Negro church had been a functioning factor in dealing with the wage and work conditions of the great masses. I know you will say that these are not questions for the church; but, my friends, these are questions of life and labor, and can the problems of life and labor be separate from religion? Is not the great function of religion to solve the problems of life and labor? If, then, the church is to be the agency of religion it must deal with these practical problems of life and labor. "Again, let us look at the great housing issues now so crucial in every one of our Northern cities. This involves not only the question of the internal condition of the Negro but involves his relationship with his white neighbors. If the Negro church in personnel and social service organization was today able to step out in front of the problem of juicing the housing, community conditions of Negro groups in a hundred cities and towns North and South, we would immediately see a new day in both the internal community life of the Negro and his relationships with his white neighbors. "Turn in another direction. Look at the great leisure-time needs of these teeming millions who are crowding into our industrial and commercial centers. They are having money through increased earnings—more money than they have ever known before. Their hours of work are shortening and their hours of leisure are lengthening. What is being provided to take care of this leisure? In many communities the churches have abdicated their right and opportunity to furnish the outlet for these leisure-time activities."

CLUBS Ends Successful Year Here A. The Metropolitan Baptist Church recently celebrated its 17th and 18th anniversary and the 1st anniversary of its pastor, Rev. F. W. Black. The church has taken on new life under the leadership of its new pastor and has imbarked upon a promising program for the coming year. able to render assistance. But folks should remember that the church is a spiritual institution supported by carthly means. Therefore, nowadays it is a duty every man owes to himself and his family to join some lodge or insurance. There are very few churches that are able, with the money they get, to pay the doctor's and medicine bills of its sick members or the funeral expenses after death. The lodge or insurance is the safe resort in these emergencies. And it is a shabby, half-shaved man who will not guard against those days of darkness. Many visitors were present all day, and we had a high day spiritually. Collection for the day, $85.60. ST.

QUESTIONS OF DOMESTIC RELATIONS HANDLED TITLE SERVICE—REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS Address ROGER D. O'KELLY, Atty-at-Law MECHANICS & FARMERS BANK BLDG., RALEIGH, N. C. JAMEST. CARTER BRANDS UNTRUE PACE CHARGES (Continued from Page One) $12,216.71. Not until 1922 (less than four years ago) has t h e Grand Lodge had as much as $17,690.00 in any one bank. Now, I ask, in view of these facts, was it possible to have had $17,690 on deposit for 10 years in any bank without interest? Another evidence of Pace's reckless disregard for the truth. Refers to Minutes letters be written "Harry Pace assumed to be a kind historian of the Order, and it was only necessary for him to refer to the Minutes of each session of the Grand Lodge since I have been Grand Treasurer for a verification of this statement and to see that, accompanying each of my reports is a statement showing every bank in which the Order's funds have been deposited and the amount. Pace further says: "I have sought for many years to have this money properly invested or to be distributed for deposit among the worthy banking institutions operated by our own people. There are only two obstacles in the way. "One of these is the Grand Secretary and the other is the Grand Treasurer, both of whom have blocked every effort to put any of this money in colored banks." "Every since I have been Grand Treasurer, I have never selected a permanent depository of the funds without submitting the name of the bank or trust company and any information I had as to condition first to the Grand Exalted Ruler and the Grand Secretary for their approval. This is also a matter of record both in the Minutes of the Grand Lodge and in the correspondence between these officers and myself. "For more than three years after I was elected, every dollar of the Order's funds was deposited in two Negro banks. When the funds began to grow so rapidly, and the information having come to me that kicks were being made about all the money being in Negro banks, is was decided, after the usual exchange of views among the above-named officers, to Greenville the Orangeburg, S. C., May 25—The South Carolina Federation of Colored Women will hold its annual meeting in Greenville, June 16-18. All indications are that this gathering of women will be without a precedent. Never before have the women of the Palmetto state been so wide awake to the possibilities of organized effort. Among the many things that have attracted this select group of Race women to Greenville are the hospitality of its citizens, the beautiful surrounding scenery, and the progressive aspects of its schools and churches. Mrs. Marion B. Wilkinson, president, urges that a record-breaking delegation attend this meeting. Conditions confronting Negro life in the state demand united effort on the part of all concerned. Discussion of plans of attack upon the handicaps and vices of the race will receive major emphasis. BLACKSTONE Blackstone, Va.-Rev. J. W. Mergisson of Shiloh Baptist Church, delivered a very timely sermon Sunday morning from John 16:24. *Mesdames Lena Ward and Isabelle Stokes are visiting Friends and relatives in Norfolk. *Rev. J. W. Mergisson returned Wednesday of last week, after having spent a few days in Richmond with his wife and daughter. *Miss Louise Scott is the guest of Miss Willey Younger in South Hill. *Miss Ella Chatman left last Saturday to attend a visit of the president, Mrs. Sarah Dobbins, of Norfolk. *Misses Eula Scott and Dorothy Miller, of Portsmouth, teachers in the school system here, are spending their vacation at home. *Mr. John Briggs left Monday for Baltimore, Md. *Mr. Askew Greenhill has returned home after an enjoyable stay in Baltimore. Banks, in which the Order had funds, as a basic of his operation to my re-election as Grand Treasurer just before the New York Convention, because he claimed I was not using good judgment in the selection of banks. "I am perfectly willing that my record for racial conduct and faith in race enterprises shall be pitted against Peace with no fear as to the result. I am sure it will be found that, in my trial trail that will not be a flitting about from post to post laying dead cases of a number of corporations and enterprises behave. I have had the honor of holding a number of responsible positions in my lifetime, and hold a number of one which is the President of a corporation which employs a Negro men and women and carries in Negro banks deposits of more than $200,000, and at night Pace where are the founders of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company deposited? I can answer however, I have never sought single one of these offices, not even the Grand Treasurership of the Elks, always feeling that the office should seek the man. Should I ever decide to a different course, I hope I will never try to gain an office by adopting methods as Peace is now employing in his efforts to be elected Grand Secretary. "Having demonstrated his ability to mistake facts by the article under consideration, I think this is a very poor recommendation for him for the office which he seeks. He has a greatest fidelity in reporting from convention to convention the actual happenings. "It has been with much recollection, that I have taken any notes of Pace's article, since I think it is in poor taste for members of fraternal organization to dislodge in the public press matters which should be kept within the confines of the Order. But since this "Past Grand Exalted Order" has violated the laws and tradition of our Order and made public the attack upon the public press, I am forced to resort to this method in order that the country will know what the records of the Order contain and judge impartially between us as to our respective fitness for office at Cleveland.

No other white bank was added as a depository until February, 1922, and then only after two of our colored depositories had failed. The funds are now deposited in three white, and five colored banks. Constitutional Provision "The statement just made by me with reference to banks is of itself a sufficient refutation of this additional misrepresentation of Harry Pace. I will add, however that, without recognizing the difficulty of his himself to distribute the funds of the Grand Lord should either be invested or deposited, as is indicated by the sentence: "I have sought for many years to have this money properly invested—" "I would like to call his attention to the plain provision of our law, which permits no investment of its funds by the Grand Treasurer, or any other officer, but plainly requires (Page 10 of Constitution and By-laws) that—" "The Grand Treasurer shall deposit the same (all funds) in the banks to the credit of the Grand Lodge" "the credit of the Grand Lodge" "me on the subject of adopting the Wage Earners Savings Bank of Saranmah as a depository, but the credit for bringing this bank to my attention is due to Dr. Clayborne, and not to Harry Pace, although the latter claims it." "At the time the Waze Earners Bank was requesting deposit. I was flooded with application from numerous colored banks all over the country for deposits; and while it was my personal inclination to accede to their requests I felt that it was may duty to the Order to throw every reasonable safeguard around its funds for their protection. It must be borne in mind, too, that these applications followed the failures of several banks in which the Order had lost funds, which, however, were made good by my personal check at Newark. I therefore, wrote the Grand Exalted Ruler and the Grand Secretary in regard to the matter and such selections as were made, including the Waze Earners Savings Bank, were the result of the unanimous decision of these officers.

That Baby You Mrs. Burton Advises Women on Mother- hood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton of Kansas. "I was terribly nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and malnutrition. Now I am a mother to a daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will tell you what I will tell you who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge.

Church in Billings, Montana, has declined a proffered gift of $100 from the local ku klux klux, according to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by J. L. Tankersley, secretary. The Billings klan visited the church and together with the gift of $100 left a letter claiming that the decline in lynching in America was due to the organization of the klan. To the klan communication and gift the colored church wrote as follows: "We the members of the Official Board and Pastor of the Wayman Chapel, A. M. E. Church have listened to the reading of your communication and your generous donation offered our people, but wish to state that we cannot conscientiously accept the offer, this being the unanimous vote of the Board."

SEND $1.00 TO-DAY ACCUSES HER HUSBAND OF DRUNKENNESS (Continued from Page One) she left his office at 123, Seventh street, northwest, she declares, he threatened to throw her down the stairs. April 13, last, he threatened to kill her, she claims, unless she returned his pleasure car, which she had taken for a day's outing. Because she refused to spend the night with him in his apartment in the Dudley Apartment House at 1318U street, northwest, she says, he assaulted her by throwing a bottle upon her. On numerous other occasions between December 5, 1924, and April 12, 1926, she charges, he made other assaults upon her not including the ones mentioned specifically, and on occasions too numerous to mention, she avers, he became intoxicated to the point where he was absolutely helpless. Mr. Dudley used her Christmas savings for his personal use in last December, Mrs. Dudley states, and has spent the rent from her own property, 909 Westminster street, northwest, since they were married. He promised to buy her a Marion fondrair after she had protected her joint signing the papers for the $20,000 loan, she claims, but up to this time he has shown no disposition to keep his promise. Mr. Dudley is a man of considerable means, according to his wife. They lived in comfortable if not luxurious, style, she says. Among his holdings, she lists Liberty Life Insurance Company stock, $35,000; Industrial Savings Bank stock, $1,000; Federal Life Insurance Company stock worth several thousand dollars; two lots in Annapolis, Md., $2,500; a farm at Oxen Hill, Md., $25,000; apartment house at 1316 U street, northwest, $75,000, on which there is a $12,000 trust; theater building at 1223 Seventh street, northwest, on which there is an $11,000 trust, $40,000; their home at 1219 Sixth tree, northwest, $25,000, on which there is a $10,500 trust, property at No. 1217 Sixth street, northwest, $7,000, on which there is a $4,500 trust; poolroom equipment at 1225 Seventh street, northwest, $2,500; theatre equipment, $5,000, and two race horses, $5,000. His income, she tells the court, is approximately $600 a month from the Ebony Follies, a traveling theater company starring his son, Sherman H. Dudley jr., by a former marriage; $505 a month as salary from the booking office which he owns and operates; $115 a month rent from apartments over the theater; $60 a month rent from premises at 1217 sixth street, northwest; $884 a sixth month from the Dudley apartments; $150 a month from the teater and poolroom, which he owns, as rent and salary. Makes Big Winnings His winnings last year from race horse bets, Mrs. Dudley says, were approximately $10,000. From his farm at Oxen Hill, Md., she claims, he received $1,500 last year. While they were living together he allowed her $80 a week for marketing alone, she says, and he paid all household bills amounting to approximately $150 a week. At the present time, she declares, Mr. Dudley is spending not less than $100 a week for whisky for his own enjoyment and the entertainment of his Friends. By reason of the numerous assaults inflicted upon her, she is ill and unable to follow any employment, although she is practically destitute, she claims, and she asks the court to compel him to pay to her a reasonable sum at stated intervals.

Y --- Has Much Wealth Miss Florence Collins, one of the most famous of beauties, says Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing and Hi-Ja Ointment made her beautiful. PAGE THIRTEEN only reason her husband falsely charges her with misconduct is founded in his insatiable desire to divorce her and thus be relieved from the necessity of supporting her. For many years prior to their marriage, she says, she was in the employ of Mr. Dudley and his success is due largely to her uniring work. She frequently assisted him financially in his business ventures, she claims. The past several months, Mr. Dudley has been seeking to effect a separation and has falsely accused her of intimacy with other men when such charges exist only in his imagination, Mrs. Dudley says. Her acquaintance with George Davis, she statts, came about thru the friendship of Mr. Dudley and the co-respondent, and the only times Mr. Davis has called at their home have been upon the invitation of Mr. Dudley.

About all you can say for some husbands is that they reduce the number of old maids. When a man says he never has had a chance, he usually means a chance at easy money. The only sure thing about the future is that there will be the usual number of installments. The annoying thing about an uplifter is his notion that man must develop to get where he now is. Now that we have warm weather, we have the fellow who is glad to see it and expects to be well prepared for the next winter. Will he? Every spring brings his kind, and while he is spending his time enjoying the fine pleasures the good weather brings, it slips away and behold, he is face to face with another winter no better off than he was during the last one. There is only one sure way to prepare for the future and that is by being a little more prepared today than yesterday, tomorrow than today. Memorial Day May thirtieth the American people have dedicated to those who have given their lives for their country. In countless assemblies, millions of our people will pay tribute to the valor and the self-sacrificing devotion which have inspired succeeding generations of Americans. There will be pride for the high quality of our national citizenship; there will be humility at the graves of them who were tested with fire and found true; there will be sorrow that any had to pay with their lives for the measure of freedom and security which we have today. Yet this it not enough. It is not enough that we be proud of our country, humble at the shrines of her noblest sons, and saddened by thought of their sacrifice and suffering. This is of the past. And it is in the present and in the future that we must live. Unless we shall turn the lessons and experiences of yesterday to guide today and tomorrow, they who have died will have died in vain. Let us, then, on the day of Memorial, reconsecrate ourselves to more earnest effort that they who come after us shall have the chance to live their lives in full contentment and security. Let us re-dedicate ourselves to carry on to the goal of universal peace and justice. Let us find at the graves of those who have gone that renewal of courage and that exaltation of spirit which may enable us to live for the ideals for which they died. This is the least and yet the most that we can do—that we build our memorial in our lives. The Loulie Taylor Letcher Memorial Hospital At Lawrenceville last Tuesday the Loulie Taylor Letcher Memorial Hospital, a gift to St. Paul School by Col. John D. Letcher, of Lexington, in memory of his wife, Mrs. Louisa Taylor Letcher, was dedicated in connection with the school's commencement exercises. For the colored people of Virginia that incident constitutes the best item in the news of the year, and they join with the faculty and students of St. Paul in grateful acknowledgement of this gift to the race. The importance of this hospital to us can best be appreciated when it is realized that this state, like most Southern states, is under-hospitalized. Add to this under-hospitalization the South's tradition which gives to all public institutions a dual but unequal racial accommodation with the Negro on the least benefited end, and it is readily calculated that hospital facilities for our group are down almost to the point of non-existence. For these reasons the dedication of any new hospital in Virginia becomes an incident from which the whole citizenship derives pleasure, but when it is a hospital to be devoted to the service of colored patients under the supervision of their own race, our joy is unrestrained. Southern philanthropy has not been practiced on a scale as commanding as that of the North, because of the incident in American history which left this section financially embarrassed. The spirit of the South, however, in late years has been no less Bountiful, and when we are the recipients of its philanthropy the pride that is experienced when your neighbor admits your worth makes us feel especially grateful. But it must be borne in mind by our group that ultimate aim of philanthropy is to develop in its beneficiaries the best that is in them to the end that the need for it will grow less. The gift of this hospital should serve to awaken us to the pressing need of more of them and to our duty of providing them for ourselves in sections where tradition miligates our enjoying the facilities of those provided by the other group, and in which we are admitted only through sufferance, when admitted at all. Every Negro of intelligence and refined sensibilities who has been a patient in a white hospital in the South knows that he is expected to leave those sensibilities at home and resign himself to the gaff of abuses which any attendant might feel discourteous enough to offer. Generally, the more refined and the more acute the sensibilities to effrontery, the more deliberate and studied is the effort to give it. This situation will be met when we build and maintain our own hospitals, staffed by members of our own race. We have the potential means to build them, the skill to operate them. All that we need is the organization, leadership and the determination to get them just as we have, got the pretentious and costly churches and other institutions we own and operate. Thanks to Col. Letcher for the Loulie Taylor Letcher Memorial Hospital. The gift will serve a greater purpose if it inspires us to become self-provident in this respect. The Right of Defense Against Mob Attacks The acquittal of Hessian Sweet of the murder of a white-man, who was one of a mob of white persons who besieged the home of his brother, Dr. Ossian Sweet, and strove by intimidation and violence to drive him from this home, because they did not want him to live in what they were pleased to style a "restricted district," in Detroit, will possibly cause the dropping of the other ten indictments. The case has been ably managed by the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with Clarence Darrow, the Famous Chicago lawyer, as chief defender. The race throughout the country has watched the case with a great deal of interest, the mistrial in the first case giving an air of uncertainty to the outcome. We have never understood why Dr. Sweet and the others associated with him, and with him in his home when it was defended against mob assaults, should have been arrested and forced to defend their lives in court action. The street was crowded with mobrocats and with police at the time of the hiring upon the mob, but the police had no great desire to disperse the mob and control its actions. If a man may not defend his home and life from mob assaults and intimidation, even to the extent of shooting to kill, the principle of self-defense, which is upheld in the laws of Moss as well as in our own laws, falls down; and if it falls down in the case of a colored citizen now shall it stand up in the case of a white one? It does not fall down in the case of a white citizen any where in the country and should not, neither should it do so in the case of a colored citizen. What is lawful for the one should be lawful for the other. The right to shoot has as much standing in court as the right to be shot. We get no relief from mob violence and intimidation and residential aggregation by the outcome of the Sweet trials, but we get much satisfaction out of the fact that those who were placed in jeopardy for defending their life and property, were adjudged not guilty by a jury of their peers, entirely white. Whenever law and lawful authority fail to protect the life and property of the citizen it is the inherent right of the citizen to do what he can to protect them himself. Every white man so considers the matter; why should not every colored man do so? The acquittal of Henry Sweet of the murder of a white-man, who was one of a mob of white persons who besieged the home of his brother, Dr. Ossian Sweet, and strove by intimidation and violence to drive him from his home, because they did not want him to live in what they were pleased to style a "restricted district," in Detroit, will possibly cause the dropping of the other ten indictments.

States' Rights, Anti-Lynching and Prohibition All of this hullabaloo about states' rights becomes meaningless mackery in the South, when it is remembered that no part of the Union ever has been guilty of so sagrant an abdication of states' rights made voluntarily as has this section. The South can almost wild in its 100 per cent activity in making the 18th Amendment a part of All of this hullabaloo about states' rights becomes meaningless mockery in the South, when it is remembered that no part of the Union ever has been guilty of so fragrant an abdication of states' rights made voluntarily as has this section. The South ran almost wild in its 100 per cent activity in making the 18th Amendment a part of the Constitution, the greatest surrender of states' rights recorded in this nation's history without the shedding of a drop of blood. Now we see Southern senators frightening even such stalwart constitutional lawyers as Senator Borah into the belief that federal anti-lynching legislation constitutes a violation of the doctrine of state sovereignty not to be tolerated, in spite of the unalterable truth that every citizen of the states is a citizen of the United States, owing allegiance to the governments of both, and entitled to the protection of life by the governments of each. In the plain language of the constitution, every person of the United States charged with crime is entitled to trial by a jury of his peers, and when any body of persons conspires to take the life of an accused without due processes of the law, those persons are in a conspiracy against the laws of the United States, and the Government, we believe, has the power to enact appropriate legislation to make effective the provisions of the constitution. But anti-lynching legislation, unfortunately, has developed into race legislation, and therein lies the rub. The Senate committee on the judiciary has turned it down. Nobody is fooled; it is the same old vexious issue, almost as old as our Government itself. Heroic statesmen of the South are passed to Washington on their ability to convince their constituents of their safety regarding the Negro—said safety implying that a Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect. No, Southern senators are not so much concerned over states' rights as they are over race rights, which the record proves, and Republican senators of the North have not the gumption to oppose the predilections of their Southern comrades, in spite of the dictates of justice. Federal anti-lynching legislation may or may not be unconstitutional in so far as the JOURNAL AND GUIDE is able to decide the point. But we hold that human life is sacred and that its safety is demanded of American justice, states' rights or no states' rights. THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING How Many Wives? This is not a discussion of divorce. It is a frank facing of the problem of mortality among married women. Why have husbands in the past been able to point out from one to three graves of mates who have preceded them into the beyond? Why has marriage proved more fatal to women than to men? To point out the causes is to indicate the means of prevention. A. E. First, married women heretofore have not been given adequate medical attention in the critical pre- riods of their lives. The time for a skilled physician's care is not when some well meaning but ignorant woman has confessed her failure in the time of unsuccessful delivery. The physician should be called in months ahead, in order that he may make periodical examinations by urinalysis, taking of blood pressure, etc. Only thus can a woman's condition be accurately known and unfortunate contingencies provided against. Besides, the recent mother needs the expert attention of a registered nurse and from two to four weeks of care-free rest from any sort of work. Expensive? Remember, this is no discussion on saving dollars, but on saving wives. Second, married women have been expected to do too much hard work. Cooking, ironing, sweeping, washing, scrubbing are no easy tasks. They are absolutely toilome. In the case of the housewife, also, they are not tasks to be worked at for a certain number of hours and then let alone. She has been expected to keep on the job until the tasks were all completed. Who does not remember the tell-tale lines, "Man works from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done?" Along with the exacting hours of hard work for the housewife have gone the unhealthful conditions under which she has worked. Poor plumbing or none, breathing of germ-laden dust, first the steamy atmosphere of the kitchen then the ice blasts of the backyard. Recently there have come to the rescue such labor saving and health conserving devices as the stationary tub, the electric iron, the electric washer, the vacuum cleaner, also the convenience as the wet wash laundry, the commercial bakery, the delicatessen. Such tools and services supply not only more leisure but more health and longer life. Again, married women have been expected to enjoy too limited fellowship. Humans are social animals. Fellowship is necessary to their happiness and therefore most healthful existence. Why expect housewives to possess buoyancy and hopefulness necessary to long life when restricted in interest to the daily grind of keeping house, minding babies, and back fence gossiping? Housewifery must be lifted from doilee and unquestioning servility to sweet and free fellowship. Recall the days of courtship. She possessed a surpassing charm, which was due in large measure not merely to health and youth but to the consciousness of power. A strong man was treating her as an equal, some one whose favor must be won, not commanded. Such a mental state gave her a larger grasp on life. The same sort of treatment would create the same sort of result after marriage. If husbands would have their wives live longer, then they must spend more time with them in the simple business of enjoying common amusements and pursuing mutual side interests together. How many wives? Only one, if more and better medical attention, if more and helpful labor saving devices, if less of unaspiring dependency and more of inspiring fellowship. riods of their lives.

Spirit of The Press Parks In The Name of Justice From (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot The City Manager has at last, after long delay, reported on a 20-acre tract of land in the eastern section of the city that is being offered by the owners for conversion into a park for the use of the colored population. The price at which it is held is approximately $17,000. A special park committee composed of Councilmen Robertson and Martin has the information under advertisement. It has taken several years for the colored park to attain to the dubious status of an informative report. If the special park committee handles the matter with the same expedition, a favorable recommendation on the project can be expected before 1930.

If the special park committee handles the matter with the same expedition, a favorable recommendation on the project can be expected before 1030. The VIRGINIAN-PILOT does not know whether the 20-acre tract that is being considered is the best available close-in location for a colored park, but is strongly of the belief that no mistake will be made in acquiring it without delay. No park of 20 acres can begin to be adequate for a population of 50,000 people, but it can be made to serve an important neighborhood purpose. The tract under consideration adjoins a thickly populated colored section, and one solely in need of this open space for fresh air and recreation. The $17,000 that is asked for the land would be money well spent. Not only is this neighborhood colored park needed, but there is needed in this community a large general park for the same purpose. Preferably such a park should have frontage on some body of water capable of providing a good bathing beach. The present park system does not provide bathing beaches, but that is only because the white population which the present park system exclusively serves has access to a dozen nearby ocean and bay resorts. The absence of such nearby resorts serving the colored population, and the difficulty of establishing any such resort as a private, commercial enterprise, put the move up to the city. Unless, the city can provide such a shore park for its large and growing colored population, it will permanently be without access to bathing beaches in a community singularly rich in this natural asset. There are still available large undeveloped water front tracts in which the city, with the enlightened co-operation of property-owners could locate a combination park and bathing beach for colored use, without producing any of the complications that might attend such an undertaking should it be attempted a few years from now when the entire Chesapeake Bay waterfront shall have been put into partial development. Here is a problem that can not be escaped and which becomes more insistent with the passing of time. A park policy supported by taxation that falls on both races but which benefits one race alone, is unfair to the point of indecency. A beginning must be made in redressing the balance. A small neighborhood park will do to begin with. It will provide room for a few benches and flower beds, and for a few playgrounds and baseball diamonds. But the establishment of such a park will not be enough. The colored people of this community are entitled to a large general park adequate for the reecreation a needs of the whole colored population, and to access to nature's generous gift to this section—open water, and sand beaches. Lynchings in Florida From Columbia (S. C.) State The contention of a New England woman, quoted in THE STATE yesterday, that its natural "real Southern cooking" is not discoverable in public eating places of Jacksonville, Miami and Tampa, since those towns are "emphatically not Southern, but Northern offshoots," suggeststhought upon another line. Who are responsible for the increasing number of Lynchings in Florida? The question is not lightly asked, and should "not be lightly answered. It is asked in sincerity; the facts can be ascertained by investigation in Florida. If "natives" are responsible for instigating and executing these lawless acts, let it be known; if the "recent arrivals" from West or East who are as yet without state or sectional pride, and imagine the people here favor such forms of lawlessness and savagery, are responsible, give the facts to the public. The "natives" have sins enough of their own to answer for without having to shoulder those committed by others. While there is a constant fight against the spirit of lynching in the South; while the South, as a whole, is keenly alive to this evil, and has, as a whole, made notable progress in its suppression, Florida remains one of the blackest spots, and this whole section is deeply concerned in there, being no black spots. It is quite true that lynching may occur in those states where the sentiment against lawlessness is strong and outspoken, but when there is such sentiment this crime must finally be eliminated. The outspoken sentiment therefore, is more important than the numerical number of lynchings. What is the sentiment in Florida? There are, relatively, many lynchings there but no virile fight against the lawless. It is held that Florida is in stronger position than most Southern states to suppress lynchings since its governor has the constitutional power to remove officers who fail in their duty to protect prisoners. Yet it is not of record that in the many—there have been very many—lynchings that have occurred there in the past two decades, the hand of the chief executive has fallen upon an officer of the law. A recent Associated Press dispatch from Labelle—a beautiful name for sure—said: "Henry Patterson, Negro, was taken from his work on a road gang by a band of white men here this afternoon and was shot and hanged. He was accused of attacking a white woman, but it was said after his death that he was innocent of the charge. All the Negroes of the town had left tonight, but no further trouble was expected." No, having lynched a probably innocent man, "no further trouble was expected." One of the certain things is that where an innocent man is lynched in a community where the lynchers and law officers are close together, there will be "no further trouble," especially for the person or persons guilty of the crime, for which an innocent life was sacrificed. The lynchers are opposed to being confounded by the arrest and conviction of the real culprit, and the law officers of a certain type sympathize with that viewpoint. It is deemed better to let the criminal escape than question the infallible judgment of a passion-inflamed mob! That is the psychology of it. What is being done in Florida to apprehend and punish the members of the mob who, in open day, put to death a man who was probably innocent? In the matter of lynchings, Florida nor any Saturday, May 29, 1926 The New Negro And The Higher Education BY KELLY MILLEP The older Negro leadership had its mainspring in philanthropy. It revolved upon the pivot of religious. The main purpose was at first to produce ministers of the gospel who should stand in the high place of religious and moral direction of the igno- PETER B. wakened masses. The motive was purely altruistic. The missionary can only give what he has. The Northern men and women who came South immediately after the war were religious enthusiasts. They looked upon the Negro as a great missionary field for religious and evangelistic effort. There was more joy in their heart when one Negro sinner confessed repentance than when ninety-nine learned a good lesson. The old Negro leader was therefore motivated by religions as the chief means of redeeming his race, both in America and in Africa. The two continents were one and inseparable as furnishing the sphere of endeavor for the Negro convert and graduate. I wish to stop here to comment on the comprehensiveness of their wisdom which far surpasses that of our short-sighted present day policy. The race question can never be solved in America apart from the basic factor on the African continent. Race and color will be a stigma and a reproach as long as there remains that great reservoir of blackness, ignorance and degradation. So long as blackness remains as a badge of inferior qualities any where on the face of the earth, the African will share the stigma wherever he is to be found. The white race boasts of its superiority because wherever the white race is found it stands for a certain average of civilization and culture which ranges far above the level of that of other races and colors. The old Negro leader was led to believe that equality with the white race, like the Kingdom of Heaven, was at hand. He felt that all that was necessary to do was to acquire the requisite education and advancement in cultural ways, and prejudice would speedily pass away. Upon the basis of this belief he hypothesized his whole program of procedure. The old political leader, like the early Christian believers, thought that the great consummation would come in their own day and generation before many then living should have tasted death. The political leaders believed, with an unshakable faith, that the Civil War Amendments would immediately be enforced. They sought to bring about national legislation to hasten the conclusion by legislative fiat. The old Negro leadership believed more in man than in money. Little did it reckon on the economic factor as an element in race solution. Booker T. Washington brought in this essential doctrine, but was bitterly combatted by those who had been steeped in the more real doctrine of equity, justice and brotherhood. But the Hampton-Tuskegee philosophy did not essentially change the type or character of Negro leadership. It merely added a new factor. But hope and doctrine remained the same. Then came the World War. A new order of things, it was thought, was to be ushered in. The Negro felt that he was to be the beneficiary of this new order. Democracy, and brotherhood became the watch word. High sounding phrases filled the ear. The lesser breeds of men believed that their day had come. But the Negro soon had a rude awakening. He found himself pushed backward rather than forward on the scale of brotherhood and equality. He began to re-examine the foundation of his former belief. He wished to be reassured of the faith that was in him. It was in the midst of this critical self examination that the new Negro was born. It does not yet appear just what he shall be. So far he has no definitely stated philosophy and no stated program. He hopes for a better day and a better way, but is impotent to find the means of effecting either. He notes the comparative failure of the older dispensation. Philanthropy has done much, but has not accomplished the great ends it aimed at in the beginning. Its great objectives have not been realized. other Southern state can tenably hold: "It is our affair." We all have a share and a stake in the reputation of the section as a whole; South Carolina is directly concerned in Florida's attitude toward lynching. The race problem in America is only a fragment of the world race problem, declares, Dr. Kelly Miller, who sees the failure of any attempt to bring about an adjustment of race relations in America that does not comprehend the race problem in Africa. The new Negro must have a world vision that escapes the narrow confines of his immediate environment, adds Dr. Miller, who believes we must still look to higher education for the solution of all of our great national and human problems. "The new Negro," asserts Dr. Miller, "tacks the religious conviction of the old leadership, and has nothing to take its place. In my view he is destined to lamentable failure until he strikes a deeper spiritual and moral note than which now seems to characterize his mood of mind and ways of thinking." Religious earnestness no longer obsesses the mind and haunts the soul of the Negro intelligence. A cold and painful religious indifferentism has supplanted the former zeal and enthusiasm. The first missionaries would be appalled could they revisit the schools and colleges which their faith founded and find such little faith still remaining. The spiritual and moral leadership of the race has not been recruited from the college and the university to the extent and degree which they hoped their endearment would bring to pass. Equality between the races seems to recede as an ideal where they thought that they were in sight of the goal. Political and civil rights then thought to be secure have since slipped back to an amazing degree. Peace and good will which they prayed would come through progress and Why our Collegians Die Young Why our Collegians Die Young By T. THOMAS FORTUNE Dean Kelly Miller discussed a very interesting subject in his article in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of May 15 when he emphasized the fact that our college bred people have died young, and named a large number of those who passed on after a brief but useful service. The writer was at Howard University in 1874-5 and knew the members of the first one or two classes to graduate from that institution. Among them were Robert W. Bagnall and James W. Camp, both of Norfolk. Mr. Bagnall did good work in the schoolroom, if we remember correctly, but did young. Mr. Camp was an expert accountant and went to Chicago after graduating and made a useful and successful citizen, and we believe he is still living. It was in these first years of Howard that Prof. George W. Cook, who rounded out a long life of service in high standing at Howard, Matt N. Lewis of Newport News, who has made a splendid success as an editor and business man, George H. White, of North Carolina, who represented his district in Congress and died while engaged in the banking business in Philadelphia a few years ago, and Edward Nahl, who served long in the public schools of the District of Columbia, all graduated from the Normal Department of Howard University, and did as good and lasting work as the collegians, and that was to be expected as they had for instructor Miss Martha B. Briggs, one of the most accomplished teachers the race has had, and who was long the head of the Normal Department. Our first graduates had to work their way, and many of them did not always get enough to eat. The early death of most of them was due to this starvation which they went through to get an education and which sapped their staying powers and took them away in their prime and when they were doing their best work. Washington in the days of 1874-80 was one of intense intellectuality and culture for the race, with Frederick Douglass as the bright particular star, about whom moved John Mercer Langston, Bishop John M. Brown, Fichard Theodore Greener, Theophilus J. Minton, John P. Sampson, Prof. Wiley Lane and Prof. James Monroe Gregory, John Wesley Cromwell, John F. Cook, George F. T. Cook, Dr. C. B. Purvis, and Dr. T. A. Augusta, Prof William J. Simmons, Rev Walter H. Brooks, the famous pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, who is still in the harness, Frederick G. Barbadone, Rev. William Waring, and others too numerous to mention,—these were famous in their day and made a lasting impression for good upon the young fortunes of the race. When shall we see their likes again? righteousness now seems as far off as ever. The new Negro lacks the religious conviction of the old leadership, and has nothing to its place. In my view he is deined to lamentable failure until he strikes a deeper spiritual moral note than which no seems to characterize his mind of mind and ways of thinking. He must need develop the special instead of the selfish motive Race must rise above self in mind and imagination. Almost all things, he must be right as righteous in all the ends he sat at. He must not only be law abiding, but alert about the righteous enforcement of rightous law. The old Negro was chiefly concerned about himself and his problems. The new Negro must get a world mind and a world consciousness. Any group of people who limit their intellectual and emotional concern to their own problems will soon become cramped with in-growing pain. The Jews become specialists in every domain of human knowledge. But in every instance of rodowns to the honor and glory of the Jewish race. The Negro can not solve his little problem as it were in a corner. Our domestic race problem is but part of the world wide issue of race adjustment. The Negro scholar is as important a fact in race solution as the worker in practical fields of endeavor. In deed the Negro press-controversialist must meet; upon the fate of the intellectual arena every form of scholarship and scientific acumen. It was of curious interest to note the attitude of the Negro intelligence toward the Garvey Movement. In almost every instance the opposition condemned Marcus Garvey in terms of the most scathing condemnation without evincing the slightest interest in the future of the mother continent. There was much of the half concealed conjecture that insistence of including the dark continent in our racial program could only serve to defeat our existence on race equality in America. I have just contributed an article on this subject which is shortly to appear in British magazine. I take the position that the Negro question can never be settled in fragments. You cannot see the Japanese problem in California or in Hawaii until it is settled in Japan. The new Negro must interest himself in the universal Negro problem in both its American and African aspects. BookChat "TURBOTT WOLFE" by William Fleet Published by Harcourt, Brace and Company, 383 Madison Avenue, New York City. Price $2.00. By mail $1.10. "Turbott Wolfe" is a book about South Africa and its native problem. It depicts an Englishman of fine qualities as artist, a humanitarian, throne with intolerably cheap colonial and Dutch settlers, or with people who, if not cheap, are so colds to be unbalanced. These are norant, ill-mannered white settlers talk of the natives as nothing but animals, while the men have their black mistresses and their black families. They hire disease with them and they despise African culture. Turbot Wolfe finds the last word to be said of them and of the white man's civilization in Africa whether it be trader or agrarian turalist or missionary is "Ue-clean." Of the African, the picture drawn is very different. Unlike Sarah Millin, who wrote of South Africa in "God's Spleen dren," he finds much that is beautiful and dignified in African though he also sees that the best in the savage is destroyed by so-called civilization. He thus describes a naive girl to whom he is attested: "She was a fine rare savage of a type you will find no where now; it has been killed by the missionaries, the poor whites and the towns." . . . An aboriginal perfectly clean and perfectly beautiful. I have never seen such consummate dignity. She was an ambassadress of all the beauty (it might be called厉害) that intensity of the all wonderful African life—outside his tortious outside time, outside science. A very different picture from the sq unting savages in Millin's tale, or the incredibly dirty creatures in the French Africa of Batuula.
