The Norfolk Memorial Association held its annual Memorial Day exercises Sunday and Monday. On Sunday a brief program was held on Monumental Church and on Monday morning at sunrise the services of the day began with the decorating of the graves of soldiers and sailors in West Point, Calvary and Berkley cemeteries.

In Berry told of the Negro men, who distinguished the members with Commodore Ferry, of the bravery, and daring of the soldiers of the Civil, Spanish and World Wars and said to the public in general and to the younger people of the race group in particular "there are greater battles to be fought this day than were brought in those periods just mentioned. The battle is against the enemy, and the sail that stands out against the progress of our people of today, it is a battle not to be fought with shot and shell, but must be brought out through the church, the wood and the home."
The speech was delivered with huge effect, the speaker appearing to be thrilled to the duty of delivering it.

S. C. SUPREME COURT RULING FAR-REACHING
Defendants Facing Execution
Granted New Trial In Connec-
tion With Killing Of
County Sheriff.
Columbia, S. C.—The Supreme
Court of South Carolina has just
lurked down a far-reaching opin-
ition which is hailed by the colored
people of the South as one of the
most judicial strokes yet made,
a southern court in definition
of legal human rights possessed by
the colored. The opinion reiterates the decision of a lower
court and grants a new trial to
Lem Lohman and Lem Lohman,
sentenced to death for
County Sheriff Howard A.
Swarver, and Bertha Lohman sen-
sured to life imprisonment in con-
nection with the killing.
Judge Erred
The high court held that the trial judge erred in his charge to jury when he failed to explain the defendants had a lawful right to host the invasion of their home by the sheriff and his deputy if the defendants were unaware that the invaders were officers of the law. The judge, in ordering the jury had stated that the sheriff was armed with a search warrant, and had every right to search the Lohman home, and that it was the duty of the man's to permit the search. Supreme Court held that the death of the defendants' should have been explained to the jury with the explanation of the role of the officers of the law.

Annual Memorial Day Services Carried Out Thruout the City; Graves of Soldiers And Sailors Decorated.
With sunrise Monday morning the army of the living in this city, weighted down with mountains of flowers exuding their sweet fragrance and radiant with the freshness of a lovely spring morn, began its annual trek to the final resting places of the army of the dead, there to place upon the graves of departed loved ones one more touch of revered remembrance.
I was the Decoration Day, that is it was the observance of the day which fell on Sunday, and the colored citizens of this city on that day never fail to honor their dead. There were exercises at the Calvary cemetery, following street parade, under auspices of the Norfolk Memorial Association, beginning with the decorating of the graves of soldiers and sailors at sunrise. These exercises were very creditable, but they formed only a small part of the activities of the day. Without any other formality than getting into their clothes and gathering up the flower laden baskets, the population began the day when it moved into the direction of all cemeteries in and about the city, and toward cemeteries lying in the out-of-town regions.
At Calvary cemetery, all day long there were the oncoming hordes. Automobiles, borne down with people and flowers wended their way into the roads and stretches among those that sleep the sleep at the dead. Here and there an auto would stop, our would step a father, or mother, or son, or daughter and go off to a softly lay upon little round of earth a bower of nature's beauty. It was Decoration Day, and somebody was decorating the grave of somebody who answered the Call. The scenes throughout the day were touching. Somebody, here and there would withdraw a handkerchief and wipe the dust from the letters of a headstone, again others would sit down beside a grave and lose themselves in sorrowful meditation of the life that once was.
The same scene was being enacted in all the cemeteries of the city, the Point and Berkley where their hordes of the living, who entered once more to honor the dead. Two brass and reed bands, the Excelsior and St. Joseph's High School, alternately played martial strains during the exercises at Calvary.

TEXAS MAN FILES APPEAL IN THE SUPREME COURT
Contests Validity of State Law Under Which He Was Prohibited From Voting In Democratic Primaries.
Washington, D. C., June 3—L. A. Nixon of El Paso, Tex., filed in the Supreme Court Wednesday a brief in his appeal contesting validity of the Texas law under which he was prohibited from voting in the general Democratic primaries in July 1924, contending that the statute which renders a Negro ineligible to participate in Democratic primaries in the state is unconstitutional.
In the Federal District Court for Western Texas the suit which sought to recover $5,000 damages against precinct judges, was dismissed on the grounds that the Federal constitution and laws relating to suffrage do not apply to primaries.
The case will be reached for oral argument early in the next term of the court, beginning in October.
SAYS VOTES MUST DEFEAT COURT RULING
William Pickens Tells Colored Voters In The Various States To Get Busy And Kill New Monstrosity.
DECLARES OPINION
SIDE-STEPPED ISSUE
William Pickens, nationally known advocate of civil rights, in commenting on the recent decision of "No Jurisdiction" by the United States Supreme Court in the Helen Curtis-Corrigan case, declares in a statement to the Negro press that colored people will have to get busy and use their votes and political weight in the various states to defeat this new monstrosity.
Pickens Statement
"Of course we disagree with the honorable court in its segregation decision. Action by the courts is action by the State. An agreement not to sell to Negroes is an individual matter so long as the agreement is made and kept by individuals. But it is the almighty power of the state when the state courts enforce this agreement against a third party, who was not even a party to the agreement. According to this side-steping decision of the court, the priority of the state or state could not to sell clothes, or food to Jews or Negroes and not only would the court not offer any remedy for that wrong, but if one of the conspirators should repent and start selling to the Jews and Negroes, the others could go into court and compel him to cease. And all the great court could offer would be to sit and let the aggrieved starve or go naked for 'lack of jurisdiction.' "That is a peculiar decision. The court does not say the thing is right. It only says the court, as used in jurisdiction and that the law in the law—that there is plenty of jurisdiction to enforce the decision of lower courts against Negroes on the part of the lower courts—but no jurisdiction for the higher court to protect him. "The Negro will have to get busy and use his votes and his political weight in the various states to defeat this new monstrosity."
BULLET CHECKS ADVANCE OF MAN WITH OPEN KNIFE
Goes To Hospital With 26 Perforations Of Intestines As Result Of Shot Fired Into Abdomen.
Rosso Howard, 601 Lincoln street, was carried to St. Vincent's Hospital Monday with 26 perforations in his intestines caused by a bullet fired into his abdomen by Harrison Hinton, a middle-aged man, on a boat tied up at a local wharf.
Hinton admitted to Detective Nowitzky that he shot Howard, but claimed self-defense. He said Howard attacked him with dangerous knife when he stopped the attack with the pistol bullet. Both of the men were employed on the boat.
Detective Nowitzky questioned Howard at the hospital, telling him that his injuries would probably prove fatal and that it would be best for him to tell the truth about the affair. Howard told the detective that he was drunk at the time and did not know just who was in fault. It might have been himself and it might have been the other man, he said. He is not expected to live.

Too Feminine;
Wife Wants Divorce
New York, N. Y.-Robert W. Schofield, an electrical engineer, "always wore women's silk lingerie and corsets" and frequently wore women's satin pumps, dresses and hats, in which he stood for long periods before the mirrors admiring his appearance, his wife, Mrs. Edith Schofield, alleged in suing him for separation.
WOOD,CARVER JONES TICKET IS ENDORSED
The councilmatic ticket which is receiving favorable consideration in the minds of the colored voters is the Wood-Carver-Jones combination. This fact was plainly evidenced on Monday night last when the Non-Partisan Civic League, whose membership includes most of the colored voters, held a meeting and endorsed the ticket.
The election will take place Tuesday next, for the filling of the three seats now held by Councilmen J. Watts Martin, C. E. Herbert and Hugh Butler.
Messrs. Butler and Herbert are candidates to succeed themselves, while Mr. Martin has declined to seek re-election. A coalition ticket with Dr. A. E. Wilson sandwiched between Messrs. Butler and Herbert is opposing the Wood-Carver-Jones combination, while Messrs. A. S. J. Jakman and William A. Burekard are running independently.
The particular complaint that is heard among the colored citizens regarding Councilmen Butler and Herbert is that nothing is discovered in their records, say these citizens, that marks them as city officials with a vision comprehending the interests of the whole community. The fact is, these voters are not unmindful of the long period of councilmanic do-not-harming regarding recreational facilities that would prove advantageous to all the people of the city, the purchase of a 17-acre park site adjacent to a colored neighborhood having been made just on the eve of election, and then mainly thru the instrumentality of councilmen not up for re-election. Equally important in the minds of the colored voters is the unified transportation ordinance under which indemnities are served in sections, along with all other independents, were eliminated and the business placed into the hands of the traction company. It was the subsequent raising of the bus fare 40 per cent with a service 50 per cent inferior for the service patrons which has served to cause Negro voters to look with disfavor upon the ordinance and the council that enacted it.
The polls will open at 4:45 m. m. and close at 7:23 p. m. The principal voting places in the precincts in which the majority of colored voters live are the 21st Precinct, in Monroe ward, Church street, in avenue A4, 7th Precinct in damn avenue A4, comprising the old section of Norfolk, corner Mariner and Fenchurch streets.
Voters are advised to take their poll税收 receipts to the polls with them.

COURT WILL HILL HELD FOR PROBE INCOME ACTION OF THE OF S.H. DUDLEY GRAND JURY
Litigants In Sensational Divorce Suit At Odds Over Monthly Earnings Of Theatrical Magnate.
CLAIMS AND COUNTER
CLAIMS CONFLICT
Washington, D. C., June 9—The auditor of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia will have to determine the monthly income of S. H. Dudley, theatrical mugnate, business man and sportsman, who is suing his wife, Mrs. Desdemona B. Dudley, for an absolute divorce, in order that a reasonable sum may be fixed as temporary alimony.
Mrs. Dudley declares that the monthly income of her husband is $2,264. She asks the court to allow her the sum of $600 a month during the decision of this suit. Mr. Dudley gives his not monthly income at $250. At the suggestion of the attorneys, Justice Frederick L. Siddons, in equity court last Friday morning, referred the case to the court auditor.
Number of Affidavits
A number of affidavits regaining his income have been filed by Mr. Dudley. The principal one is that of Mortimer M. Harris, a real estate dealer, of 613 F street, northwest, who is the agent for the real estate owned by Mr. Dudley. In his affidavit, Mr. Harris says that he purchased the Dudley Apartments at 1316 U street, northwest, for $10,000, of which $7,500 were paid cash. This neighborhood has since become entirely colored, Mr. Harris swears, and this property is not worth over $60,000. Mr. Harris fixes the value of the premises at 1225 Seventh F street, northwest, at $17,500, and at 1227 Seventh street at $15,000. He says that he purchased the farm at Oxen Hill, Md., for Mr. Dudley for $7,500 and that a few improvements have been made but they have not enhanced the value of the farm and in his opinion it is not worth over $8,000. This affidavit is supported by one made by Floyd Wicks, a clerk and bookkeeper for Mr. Dudley. The mother of Mr. Dudley, Mrs. Maggie Dudley, makes an affidavit that she is the owner in fee simple of the farm at Oxen Hill, Md.
Maid Supports Charges
A maid in the Dudley home, Minnie Johnson, in an affidavit supports Mr. Dudley's charges of misconduct on the part of his wife with George Davis, the co-respondent. She avers that at the request of Mrs. Dudley she has frequently cleaned up the apartment of the co-respondent and done his laundry work. She declares that Mrs. Dudley sent from her home to the apartment of the co-respondent one rug, two pair of window curtains, a bed spread and other furnishings as well as bought bed linen for his apartment. She also asserts that Mrs. Dudley told her the co-respondent had her expensive jewelry and wore pieces of the time he was before the police trial board in connection with the killing of one Coover.
Mrs. Mathilde Canley, the wife of Mrs. Dudley's uncle, 900 Forty-fourth street, northeast, makes an affidavit concerning Mrs. Dudley visiting the apartment of the correspondent while Mr. Dudley was in Norfolk, Va., February 22, last. Mr. Dudley telephoned his home three times during the night, Mrs. Cantey swears, but Mrs. Dudley was out. Minnie Johnson on the maid, telephoned Mrs. Dudley Davis' apartment, Mrs. Dudley declares, and begged to return home but she would not do so. Mrs. Dudley declares that Davis stayed in the Dudley home on the night of February 23, last, and that Mrs. Dudley remained out several nights during the absence of Mr. Dudley.
Mr. Dudley himself makes an affidavit in which he says that (Continued on Page 2.)

COURT SENDS CASE ON
TO THE GRAND JURY
Washington, D.C. Jun. 3—After a week in jail, Charles Sumner Hill, an attorney, G11 F street, northwest, charged with embezzlement, was released last Saturday on bonds of $7,500.
Through Attorney Charles E. Robinson, he pleaded not guilty and waived preliminary hearing in police court last Friday morning. Judge Schuldt ordered him held for the action of the grand jury.
At the time of his arrest on Saturday, May 22, he was fired at $100.00 defiance of which he was sent to jail. After his attorney had waived preliminary hearing for him, United States Attorney Peyton Gordon agreed to a reduction of his bond to $7,500.
Allege Use of Trust Fund
Attorney Hill is charged with having used $7,522 of trust funds belonging to Morning Star Lodge No. 40, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. The lodge was purchasing No. 1504 Q street, northwest, adjoining its other property at Fifteenth and Q streets, on which it planned to erect a $300,000 building. A check for $13,000 was drawn payable to J. Alexander Upsher, secretary of the trustee board, who was instructed to deposit it with the title company. Instead he is said to have endorsed it and turned it over to Mr. Hill, who deposited it to his credit and checked against it. When a committee accompanied him to the bank to withdraw the money, the shortage was discovered.
BATHING BEACH IS WRECKED BY AN EXPLOSION
Blasts Follow Protest Against Opening Of Colored Resort Nearby Pleasure Retreat of Whites.
Salem, Va., June 2—Two mysterious explosions late last Tuesday night wrecked the dam of Kessler's mill, near Salem, recently converted by a new owner into a bathing pool for colored persons. Considerable objection against such use of the dam had repeatedly been expressed by farmers of the community and owners of a nearby pleasant resort whose pool is better coming over the dam. A month ago the county supervisors also protested against the scheme. Arrangements for the colored resort continued, however, in face of the opposition. It was reported that Saturday, May 29, would have been opening day. About 10:30 Tuesday night an explosion wrecked the neighborhood. At midnight another and greater explosion whose location revealed one end of the dam blow out, the engine demolished and the line of both rooms created within the mill destroyed. The sheriff's investigation thus far has failed to reveal the identity of the perpetrators.

Baby Looks Like The Devil And Acts Like Him
Now comes out of North Carolina the story of a new-born devil, according to the Ledger-Dispatch of recent date, that paper taking the pains to disclaim all responsibility for the authenticity of the story. The Journal and Guide, fearing also to touch anything having to do with the devil, lifts the story bodily from the Ledger-Dispatch and hands it to Guide readers just like the Guide found it, head an' all just like the Ledger man wrote it:
"BABY LOOKS LIKE DEVIL AND
ACES, JUST LIKE HIM."
ACTS JUST LIKE HIM

Police have not yet ascertained the motive for the killing of Miss Alma Morton, 831 Wide street, in front of her home Saturday night at 9:30 by an unidentified assailant.
The body of the slain woman was found crumpled on the sidewalk by detectives shortly after she had been killed. The main artery of her heart had been severed. John Williams, a friend of the woman, who was in the house at the Wide street address when she was attacked, told Detectives Nowitzkay that he heard her exclaim, "Come here Brownskin, he stabbed me to death; come here Brownskin he stabbed me to death." "Brownskin" is an alias for Williams, who stated that the woman never once mentioned the name of the man, who was attacking her.
Williams said he got to the window and looked out just in time to see the man fleeing. Other citizens told the police that he fled past all of the fish stands in Mount Vernon Murket, but none of those who saw him knew at that time he had committed any crime.
CITY'S DELAY ON PARK PROPOSAL NOW MADE CLEAR
Puzzle Of Five Years Standing Finally Yields To Explanation; More Facilities Looked For In Future.
Just why it required five years for the city administration to find a suitable site (suitable to the city) for a park convenient to a colored residential section has been finally revealed. Lo, these many years the colored citizens have importured County for the park in a park or near the colored districts. These opportunities, from time to time, have been received, discussed with a show of sympathy and then gracefully pigeon-holed indefinitely.
Council Buys Tract
Why? has been the unending wail that has gone up from the petitioners. Why? why? they have grumbled, is it that the city can so readily find sites for golf courses, tourists camps, tennis courts and bathing beaches available for whites, and the means to acquire them, economy, policies and carry a a-find of a site or the means to purchase one near or in a colored neighborhood.
Last week something moved the Council to purchase the 17-acre Barraud tract in the northeastern stretches of the city's suburbs (if you don't know where to find it, and likely you don't) for the location of a park near a colored residential section. The reason why the park proposal of five years standing finally squeezed through last week may not be entirely clear, outside of the Council chamber but it is now perfectly clear to the colored residents why it has not gone through before. An editorial in the afternoon paper Friday last explains the secret, at least by inference. The paper meant, of course to commend the Council for the purchase of the site for it has consistently given its support to the proposal of park facilities for colored people, but it said, incidentally that the find was a good one for among many reasons, the site was so located that those who are to use it will not be required to pass thru the neighborhood of any other race to get to it.
The Secret Is Out
That lets us the secret of five years waiting by Council. It not only was confronted with the problem of finding an available location near a colored residential sec. (Continued on Page 5).

NORFOLK TIGERS DIVIDE SERIES
NORFOLK TIGERS DIVIDE SERIES
The Lambert's Point Slides and the Norfolk Tigers divided a twogame series at League Park on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Tigers took the first game, which was closely contested, at 4-3, and the Lambert's Point team staged a rally in the fourth frame, bunching hits and came from behind a 6-1 lead to nose out the town boys at 8-7.
The game was well played, with both teams using two hurlers in an effort to win. Galloway started on the mound for Norfolk Tigers, Johnson took up the firing for the Slides, but both were sent to the showcars before the game was very old. Knight relieved Johnson and Tucker took over Galloway's duties. Both pitched good ball throughout the remainder of the game.

Giants Wallop Ryan
Philadelphia, Pa.-Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants were in a hitting mood when they showed their wares for the second time at Hilldale Park and at the end of the nine-inning fracas the figures showed Hilldale trailing a 13 to 6 score. In addition to coping the Saturday matflee the visitors from the Empire State cracked Red Ryan's string of victories that had reached five games and handed the sorrel thatched hurler his first reverse since the season has officially been under way.

DEMPSEY MUST FIGHT WILLS SAYS NEW YORK COMMISSION
CHAMPION REQUIRED TO SIGN AGREEMENT BY JUNE 25TH
BY HARRY NEWMAN
Jack Dempsey must fight Harry Wills. At least, the boxing commissioners went on record yesterday to the effect that the champion must accept the challenge of the colored heavyweight and enter into proper articles of agreement with Wills not later than June 22, 1926.
In my opinion; this action merely adds another element of mystery to the controversy that has been raging around here for many a day. The commission stands on its statement issued yesterday and is not interested in anything concerning Dempsey.
Tex Due Today
Tex Rickard will be in town today, direct from a visit to Dempsey at Hot Springs, Ark., and it may be that Tex will make known his plans about a fight for the champ. The big promoter may step in with a proposition to stage a Gene Tunney bout, but those commissioner fellows say they won't give any such suggestion a tumble.
The commissioners issued their ultimatum in the form a statement reading:
In that Jack Dempsey, on July 17, 1925, accepted the challenge of Harry Wills to box for the heavyweight championship of the world, th e commission now feels that ample time has elapsed for the signing of articles, and hereby directs Jack Dempsey to enter into proper articles of agreement with the challenger not later than June 22, 1926."
When asked what action they would take if Rickard came in with plans to hold a fight between Dempsey and Tunney, Chairman Jim Farley and Col. Phelan, the chairman of the license board, refused to say anything other than they would cross that bridge when they came to it. That is an old excuse with that commission gang—waiting for the bridges to come around. An old gag to say the least.
Tunney? Tush. Tush!
Col. Phelan said they were not interested in what Rickard proposed to do about a fight for Gene Tunney. It is Harry Wills the board is interested in now and that is all the boys get out of them. The general opinion is that Rickard will try to place the Tunney-Dempsey fight in Boyle's 30-acres, Jersey City. He has until September to put that famous place in shape for such a battle if he decides to stage it there. The question is, what could the local commission do in the event that the bout was shifted to Jersey?
Women Civil Servants, an organization of government workers of England, has started an agitation for equal pay for men and women officials.

CLOSE RACE IN SOUTHERN
Memphis, Tenn., June 3.—The first four weeks play in the Southern League h a s shown two things: first, that the fans in this section want organized baseball and second, that the pennant race is going to be tight.
The pennant race is waxing warmer and warmer, with New Orleans, Albany, and Birmingham leading in the fight for supremacy and Memphis hanging on to the first division and fighting to displace the leaders.
Rain Saves Georgians
The first two weeks the Albany Giants had everything their way. Then came the Birmingham Black Barons who routed the Giants in two games and the pain probably saved the Georgia outfit from the third defeat. While all of this was taking place down in the little

Georgia city, New Orleans was defeating all corners and the end of the third week found New Orleans the league leaders.
Nashville and Chattanooga have strong teams that will make the going rough for all aspirants to the pennant. Both of these Tennessee teams are well fortified with hurlers and hitters and have given a good account of themselves in every series.
To Be Strengthened
With the closing of the colleges, Atlanta and McGregory should be greatly strong, headed. Dame Rumor has it that Spikes, the hard-hitting Morehouse cut-fielder, and Lockhart, Talladega's stellar pitcher and the age of the Southern Collegiate Conference, will soon don the uniform of the Atlanta Black Crackers. Both of these collegiate stars have had Big League experience and should have no trouble in landing best.

El Paso, Tex., June 3.—J a c k
Johnson, former world's heavy-
weight title holder was knocked
for a loop in the seventh round by
Fighting Bob Lawson, the Alabama Bear and light heavyweight
stable-mate of Tiger Flowers,
here Monday.
This bout followed on the heels
of Johnson's 15-round victory over
Pat Lester, in Nogales, Ariz.,
recently. At the same time Johnson
accepted a challenge issued by
Luis Firpo through a representative
who was at the ringside.
The ex-champion's knockout at the hands of Lawson may fail his attempt at staging a comeback and proving that he is as good as ever. Bob happens not to be a fighter of any consequence, therefore his victory over Johnson will prove a severe set-back to John Arthur. Lawson is remembered as the man who went the short space of a round with Jack De Mave not so very long ago. De Mave stopped Walk Miller"s protege in one round, and the Jerseyite is not considered a serious walloper.

Philadelphia, Pa.—Ed Bolden's Hilldale Club piled up enough runs in the second inning to gain the decision over the Lincoln Giants today at Hilldale Park, the final score being 8-1. Lanky Lefty Gilmore was on the slab for John Henry Lloyd and company; he was pitted against Phil Cockrell and although the recruit southpaw showed promise of developing into a first class hurler, it was a case of tutor and pupil with the spit ball veteran winning under
wraps.

NINTH INNING RALLY WINS FOR HILLDALE 7-6
Philadelphia, Pa.—Rain in the morning prevented Hilldale and the Black Sox from playing the first game of a scheduled holiday bill and the Hilldale missile maulers prevented the Black Sox from adding another victim to their rapidly growing list. Going into the final inning of play with the Black Sox three runs in the lead, Ed Bolden's gladiators treated the holiday crowd of 10,000 to a spectacular ninth, inning rally that netted the home team four runs and the game, winning by the score of 7 to 6.

Riddick Gets The Decision over Scott
Philadelphia; Pa., June 3.—Before a record crowd, in which many hundred fans were unable to gain admittance, Johnny Jaddick, a local white fighter, won the referee's decision over Harry Scott, t he flashy heavyweight of Atlantic City, in the windup at the Cambria Club here Friday night.
WILL TRY TO BAR FORMER CHAMP
San Diego, Cal., June 3.—Lonis Almgren, fire chief of San Diego and member of state athletic commission, at a recent meeting of the body, raised objection to the Commission regarding permitting the ex-heavyweight champion admission to California rings. Almgren also fired a bombshell into the ranks of the boxers and promoter by making charges that the fighters at the Veronica arena in Los Angeles presided over by Jack Doyle, were faked.
Mr. Almgren charges are indirectly aimed at Capt. Seth Strelinger, commissioner of the Los Angeles district; and are based on the statement of a referee, so it is alleged, that he had heard certain fights were not conducted on the square.

"A Man's

GUIDE POINTERS
TO PROGRESS
"A Man's Judgment Is No Better Than Information"
Civic Pride
I like to see a man proud of the place i which he lives. I like to see a man live in it so that his place will b eproud of him. Be honest, but hate no one; overturn a man's wrongdoing, but do not overturn him unless it must be done in overturning the wrong. Stand with anybody that stands right, and part with him when he goes wrong." Lincoln.
The human mind is not an automatic device. It will not 'take care of itself'. Will power, originality, decision, initiative, courage, these things do not just happen, they are results. Every one of these qualities must be developed by effort.
Women and Economy
Economy in omore means saving money than it means spending money. In household management it means the administration of the home, its stewardship, spending or saving; whether money or time or anything else to the best possible advantage.
Women, by virtue of the irsoipl, Women, by virtue of their position in the homefi are best able to bring about a business like system in the home. This does not mean skimming or foolish frugality. It does not mean that the family should go without certain nutritious foods because the prices are too high, while at th esame time enough food is thrown away to offset the amount you are trying to save. Which is more economical? To buy just enough of choice foods that every member of the family enjoys to the extent of a "clean plate" or buy a lot of cheap food, that the household merely tolerates and leaves half on their plates to

The budget system is the most efficient for running a house. The income and every expenditure should be budgetized—and the budget should be religiously followed.
The man who spends everything he makes when he gets $20 per wee kis very apt to spend everything he makes when he gets $50 per week, without regard to changes in the market prices of the "necessities of life." Save something, no matter how little you are making each week. A fixed habit of saving is the all-important thing.
Are you satisfied with your present condition? Your job? Your wages? Your home? Your living conditions?
If you are you are a dead number. To be perfectly satisfied with what you are doing now is destructive of progress toward success. A certain amount of unrest has entered into the makke-up of every successful man. Man has never been satisfied with what is, but is always looking forward to what might be. As Pope says, "Hope springs eternal in the human breast—Man never is, but always to be blest."

the residents of a certain neighborhood believe they have been wronged by any certain store or business enterprise, they may make a pact among themselves to buy nothing from the tplace. Such a boycott, if maintained long enough, is compelled to drive that particular enterprise out of business.
Q. What does the term "dangerous trades" mean?—Mitchell. A. This term does not refer to trades where workmen are subject to sudden death or serious injury caused by unguarded perils or dangerous machinery, such as blasting, steep-jacking, etc., but rather to those trades in which some form of poison or disease is incidental to the trade itself. The following trades are listed as "dangerous trades because unless the stricles precaution is taken by both the ployer and employee, the the workers thereof or therein will die from the effects of said trade, viz., the making of white lead, glass polishing, manufacturing of matches, handling of hides and skins, bone factories.
Q. What of the British situation following the General Strike?—R. J. B.
A. Kind of a peculiar question,
Mr. R. J. B., as book could be and
will be written covering your very
question. I do not know what angle
of the strike you want discussed,
so will say very briefly that the
British situation is not one
that can be remedied easily or
quickly. The root of the entire
matter, as you know rests in the
coal mines. Great Britian is nothing
like as far advanced as this
country in the matter of modern
mine machinery. To my mind that
is the first real essential thing for
the mine operators to do; bup up-to-date, labor-saving and incidentally saving-labor machines. Subsidies are poor palliatives, the issue is simply being deferred.
S. C. Supreme Court Ruling Far Reaching
(Continued from Page One) that there had been no evidence before the trial court tending to show that the defendants did know that the invaders of their home were officers armed with a warrant to search. It appears that the sheriff and his deputies approached the Lohman home host on searching it for liquor. Mrs. Lohman, the wife of Ben, and the mother of Sol, Bertha accosted the officers in her yard and protested against their entering her home. In the argument, she is said to have drawn an axe, whereupon one of the deputies instantly killed her. The brother, father and sister ran to the back door, saw what had happened and immediately began shooting at the officers. T he sheriff fell dead, while hes dsp-

uties were wounded and so were the Lohmans.
Family Arrested
The whole family was arrested and charged with the murder and with conspiracy to murder. The convictions followed. The high court knocked out the conspiracy count. It held that the defendants could not have formed, a conspiracy to shoot the officers from the time the deputy fired the first shot and the killing of the sheriff, and also held that inasmuch as there was no evidence of a conspiracy, none of the defendants could be charged except the one actually firing the shot that killed the sheriff. The court granted a new trial as of all the defendants. The case was argued before the Supreme Court by a Negro lawyer of Columbia.
City's Delay on Park Proposal Is Now Made Clear
(Continued from Page One)
tion but it sought to find a site so located that colored people in getting to it would be forced not to pass through any white sections, admittedly a hard problem. But the Council found it. That body is to be commended for its wonderful patience and resourcefulness, thinks the colored public. Certainly that was some find.
It has been suggested that leading colored citizens be consulted as to their opinions for best equipping the newly acquired park site. It is not known how many of these leading citizens were consulted as to the feasibility of purchasing the site for the use of their race, but it is known that a number of them have since inquired where is the Barraud tract, some even going so far as to ask if there are transportation facilities reaching it, or if it can be reached by auto or surfaced roads.
Lose Hope
And those colored citizens, who had taken heart of hope from the purchase by the city of the 17-acre tract, believing that it presaged a no distant step toward municipal acquisition of a suitable bathing beach site to be available to them, have now begun to ponder the matter deeply. They realize what a magnitudinous problem the city will be confronted with when it starts out to find a body of water surrounded by or adjacent to Negro farms, with no white residents in site anywhere, and located so as to reach it colored people would have to steer clear of any and all white residential sections. Whew! say these folks, that is some problem. But Council will find a way, it is believed, even though another five years be spent in the search. Pursuing the same policy in the matter of all recreational facilities, it is confidently expected that the city will be able to make fairly adequate provisions for its colored population in this respect within the next three generations.
National Training Damaged by Flames
Washington, D. C., June 8—Fire caused by sparks from the kitchen chimney Wednesday caused damaged of approximately $6,000 to the main building of the National Training school for women and girls at Fiftieth and Grant street, northeast.
Twenty-six girls were attending classes in the building when the fire was discovered by a visitor, Grace Spalding, of Donald s o n, Conn, a delegate to the Northern Baptist convention. A panic almost ensued, but teachers managed to get their charge to safety without injury. The third floor, used as a dormitory, and the rof were virtually destroyed. The second floor, also a dormitory, was badly damaged. Water and smoke completed the damage.
The school, which is a private corporation, headed by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, is a training school for girls. The building, which was burned, was the main building of the group and contained the office, chapel and reception room of the school on the first floor. The dining room and kitchen are in the basement. A nearby building was threatened by the flames which leaped 20 feet in the air, but was saved by firemen despite the difficulty of getting water to the school, which is built on a hill.

SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH
The services at Shiloh were unusually good Sunday, beginning with the Sunday school. After a careful lesson study, Rev. V. V. K. Stokes, the pastor, preached a stirring sermon from Psalm 63:3, subject, "The Loving Kindness of God." The sermon was inspiring from beginning to end. The B. Y. P. U. met at the usual hour and each topic was interestingly discussed. At night the pastor preached another unflitting sermon on "The Agony of Christ," Luke 22:41. The male chorus rendered selections.

He said every thing praised God more than man, the moon, stars and angels sing praise at all times. He further said that man was silent in praise before Chrise came and is still so.... Man seems to be ashamed to praise God, and serve him, but

Why Civil War
Did we desire the ends gained
necessarily to warrant such scrip-
ture in offering and death? Take
Civil War in which half a mil-
lion lost their lives and tens
hundreds of others were
diseased and diseased for life. All
was for the freeing of slaves
the granting of citizenship
to the Negro, you say. Now
we actually desire such a bene-
fit. Even at the North it is now
to be the custom to declare
the war was not fought on
an issue at all, and that the
application of the slaves was a
crime and a trick and a
danger. And we want to divest the
War of its justification as a
for humanity and reduce it to
acquaintance in constituion on
which was a supreme, the
state of the individual states or
of the union of states. But
if the Civil War be defended
the rights, who is the first to
proclaim this doctrine whenever the
question does not enter? I
proud old South!
Massacred for Land
the Spanish-American War is short, and but few thousands. Now if full freedom to sub-probes, with no selfish interruption of our part was the stake, so weak, and good. But if sire imbecilious, what about the cost in human lives. With all our vastness of territory, what was needed for expansion? What our justification for sending thousands of young Americans, to袭袭, for the sake of few islands, to our empire already possessed terrific assistance, to support five our population?

The Rev.C. P. Madison Elaborates on Charges Against Some Teachers
Second Calvary Pastor Insinuates That Drunkenness Is Indulged By Some of Members of School System.
Selecting for his subject: "The Kind of Teachers Norfolk Needs," Rev. C. P. Madison, pastor of Second Calvary Baptist Church, preached on last Sunday morning the second of a series of sermons he is devoting to an exorcitation of alleged unbecoming conduct of the local school teachers. This second sermon was an elaboration upon the allegations he made in his previous talk along the same line a few Sundays ago.
"For the which cause I also suffer the things: nevertheless I am not ashamed for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep me against that day," I Timothy 12, was the passage of Scripture selected for the text of the person, from which the pastor emphasized with characteristic vigor that Norfolk needs none other teachers than those of good morals with conduct becoming their office.
ing and mob massacre in our own
houses?
26 Million Die For What?
"Take the World War. Ten million known dead soldiers, three million presumed dead soldiers, thirteen million dead civilians. Twenty-six millions of lives snuffed out. A city the size of Norfolk wiped out once every ten days during the four and a quarter years the war lasted. All this, they said, was for doing away with militarism, with war as a means of settlement of world problems, for bringing in human brotherhood, autonomy for subject peoples. But after all this social agony, where is that better day for humanity, for which so many millions died? As far off as ever!
The Christ Way
"No, this is no nay for thoughtless talk. This is a day for solomn reflection and for rededication, not to war, but to the worthy ideals for which our national fathers and brothers have laid down their lives in vain. We must realize, like David, that more military courage is too costly a sacrifice for the benefits we actually gain. Humanity's better day hinges not on the success or failure of American arms, but as of old on the coming of the kingdom of goodwill and kindly brotherhood."
Church Crowded
The subject of the sermon had been, previously announced in the public press with the intimation that it would constitute more startling disclosures regarding alleged misconduct of some of the teachers, the inference being that specific allegations would be advanced. A large crowd, occupying all available space on the main floor and in the galleries was on hand, waiting expectantly to hear the verbal bombshells fall from the pulpit and wondering wh o might be hit by the high explosives. But there were no new pyrotechnics and if there were any, persons in the audience who had anticipated hearing. Dr. Madison put his charges in more definite form than formerly, or make specific allegations against any individual or individuals, or places they went away disappointed for the pastor refrained from naming anybody even if he had any individual in mind, contenting himself with an elaboration of charges he had already made.
Charges Drinking
In insinuating that some teachers in the local schools sip from the cup that cheers and inhale the smoke of cigarettes, Dr. Madison declared Norfolk needs teachers who will not smoke nor keep company with young men students they teach.
A teacher that will keep up a young man in school and inform him that he doesn't have to work, who will go to his home in the presence of his sister, divide her earnings with him, is not needed in the Norfolk school system, the pastor shouted. Norfolk needs men school teachers who will not escort young girls to night parties and after the parties, to questionable houses and contribute to the girl's final disgrace and shame, Rev. Madison, exclaimed.
Referring to the charge made that some preachers dance, in some of the published comments on his previous sermon in which he demanded that school teachers and principals come off the ballroom floor, the pastor shouted that any minister who will grace the ballroom floor with a dance is unfit to occupy the pulpit.
Fighting Alleged
Turning again to the teachers,
he asserted Norfolk needs teachers
who will not engage in fights
over men and go to their classrooms
on the next day with prejudice
faces and black eyes. Continuing,
he said, Norfolk needs teachers
who will not find it necessary,
after a number of years in the school system, to have to go out and solicit recommendations from prominent citizens in the community in order to hold his or her position. That teacher's experience and conduct should have been such as to commend him or her for reappointment without reference to the public, he declared; but some of the teachers have not had the right kind of experience, Rev. Madison went on. Norfolk does not need teachers who attend Bohemian parties where the conduct of guest borders on the lascivious, he declared.
The pastor related that when he returned to his home after preaching his first sermon on the teachers, his telephone rang and a voice asked to speak to Rev. Madison. When the person on the other end of the wire had been informed that Rev. Madison was at the telephone, the voice retorted, "You thought you were d——smart this morning, didn't you." He asked who was speaking, he said, when the curt reply was, "never mind who it is talking, you thought you were d——smart," this morning, didn't you." Unable to identify the voice of his uncutt caller, the pastor said he hung up the receiver and mutured amusingly to himself, "Well, I have caught that old fish," meaning of course, that his sermon had struck where it hurt.
Dr. Madison has announced that on Sunday, June 6, he will preach on "What To Expect and What Not To Expect in This Crusade For Morally Good Teachers."

DUTY OF THE PREACHER
Editor Journal and Guide:
Referring to the comment by the writer, the book is the documentation of the Journal and Guide on the subject, "Preachers With Nothing to Do." I realize that the burden of civil leadership has been placed on the preacher where it belongs? No, not by far. It is the solemn duty of the preacher to teach the people the time in conscious study of the Bible and in truthfully expounding it to his congregation and the public, without fear or respect of persons, solemn duty to God and to his fellowman to denounce any evil that may arise in respect of persons or creed.

or her duties deal directly with what was undertaken by men of yesterday and what is undertaken today, and when I stop for a moment and notice the business enterprises operated ported by our people, right in our own localities, where our own enterprises are suffering, where our own businesses are no longer logical to offer. Well, why do members of the other races support their own business soil is in order. The children, while very young are taught the proper sentiments, consequently, but not more need, but more constructive principles must be implanted into the youth of today to make up the rehabilitations tomorrow.
"LET HIM WITHOUT FAULTS, CAST
THE FIRST STONE."
Editor Journal and Guide:
I have been following the comments
in your paper concerning the added
unfit teacher and the school teacher
or I sympathize with them. I
don't think that the Rev. Mr. Madison
should have been publishing it through the
nurses. If there is any unfit teachers
in the schools whom he knows of, he
should have been caring and caring
and parents, and heart to
heart talk, and then wait to see if the
teachers in question would be the parents,
children and public would be proud of them.
The Rev. Mr. Madison should have a feeling for those young women as he would, as he almost sure he has children. (I am almost sure he he go to the school board and have them removed. To make public affairs of the young men, he hurts them in the future should they desire to find work outside of the city, the young men we work week's night none perfect. I will agree with him there. The same thing is going on in the churches as Rev. Madison alleges is going on with the congregation. Our Sunday Chelsisters, who during the week are drinking and dodging, as if afraid they will be spotted by some one who is taking up his time in church work and to save souls for Christ, he will have all he can do. And by saying, "let him without faults, cast the first stone." J. W. GREY.
Dunbar School Proves A Unique Experiment In Modern Education
The Paul Lawrence Dunbar School, located on Princess Anne Road and Chicagolai Street, is, so far as can be ascertained, unique in the state. Dunbar is a school for overaged pupils, that is pupils who are above normal age for the grade in which they are. Dunbar is in no sense a school for mental defectives. Because a pupil is in a grade lower than he should be considering his chronological age, it does not necessarily follow that he is mentally "short." The entire enrollment of the school consists of overaged children from all over the city. These children have been retarded for parental illness; some have congenital illness for illness in the home or other conditions which interfered with regular school attendance, and still others began school later than the normal school entrance age.
The current idea in education is to place the pupil in the environment that is most agreeable to him so that the learning processes may not be hindered by unnecessary friction. Schools for overaged children are an outgrowth of this idea. Where pupils in a grade are near the same age they can be more easily interested in the work in hand and learning is accelerated. Such is the purpose at Dunbar. The program for the daily work is planned to help the children take their places as useful and happy, citizens in the communities in which they will live. There must be the academic work and there must be skill acquired in the household and shop arts and crafts.
The literary work is carried out as outlined in the city course of study. The industrial program is, however, planned especially for the children of this group. The plan for work in both Domestic Science and Art in the elementary grades of the city offers work of a very simple kind. The girl or boy in them is given an opportunity to attain as a state art as his ability will permit him this end the pupils in the grades from four to six are arranged into four groups, the grading being based upon proficiency in the work. The girls' groups work at sewing, cooking, weaving, and household management; the boys' groups

How wonderful it is to be beautiful. To have hair that is long, soft and silky—hair that, when bobbed, falls in graceful curls, charmingly framing the face—hair that seems the air with a dainty, mysterious perfume.
Is it any wonder that such women are beloved?
Gladys Robinson, famous leading lady of "The Smart Set," has such hair and says of it, "I owe it's beauty to Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing. Without this wonderful product I would be lost. It is the best thing of its kind I have ever tried and since I am an actress and one who must be as beautiful as possible all the time, I have naturally used many products."

work at woodwork and shoe repairing.
The work in Domestic Art embraces a study of materials with regard to expense, suitability for certain uses, durability and class of textile, the making of personal garments and household linen, mending, dyeing and cleaning. In the Domestic Science Course the pupils become acquainted with kitchen equipment, its cost, use and care. A graded course in the preparation of foods is given. As the objective of this Group, the most advanced of the groups, prepares and serves daily to the Open Air Class a full dinner consisting of meat, vegetables and dessert. The laundry work teaches correct methods in washing different kinds of materials, removing stains, setting colors, ironing, and folding.
In the Manual Training Department, instruction is given, in bench work, repairing and painting furniture and shoe repairing.
The present plan offers to each pupil who completes the two years' course satisfactorily, a certificate. The Open Air Class, another special group at Dunbar, is composed of pupils selected from the larger group taking treatment at the Clinic under Dr. C. R. Grandy. These pupils, who are normal, mentally, but physically not up to the standard, would no doubt find it impossible to withstand the strain of a regular classroom, but with herbs and nourishment as prescribed they are able to attend with little interruption. As has already been discovered in such classes, these pupils have no "fatigue periods" for the time is so divided that rest periods occur where there might be a period of disinterest or listlessness. The daily schedule includes a mid morning and afternoon lunch of milk and crackers and a full dinner at noon; rests of one half hour and one full hour occur after the morning lunch and after the dinner, respectively.
Under the care and treatment which they are receiving, those pupils are regaining their health without sacrificing their regular classroom work. This class is under the direct supervision of Dr. C. R. Grandy and Miss Jessie Franklin.

PORTERS' UNION MOVE TO LINE UP ALLCAR WORKERS
Special Dispensation For Thirty Days For New Members And Those Who Have Paid Part of Joining Fee.
New York, June 24. A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, after completing a tour of several states in which numerous meetings were held in interest of the Brotherhood, issued the following statement here today:
"As a result of our sweeping, onward, conquering march through seven eventful and dramatic months of supreme struggle to organize the Pullman Porters and Maids for a living wage, better hours and conditions of work, we have built up a mighty and gigantic organization in the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, in the face of the greatest opposition ever encountered by Negroes.
"It is an unmistakable monument of race achievement, a tribute to the intelligence, courage, and loyalty of our members and a definite challenge to the reckless and unreasoning oppression of 12,000 Pullman Porters and Maids in particular and the race in general.
"We are preparing to be the first to file our case with the new board. Our chances for success are much brighter and greater. But naturally our success will depend directly upon our strength. With 51 per cent we will get 51 per cent consideration. But with 80 or 90 per cent, we can and will get a much higher consideration.
Thirty Days Dispensation
"Now, in order to swell the rising tide of our organization, the Brotherhood is inaugurating a dispensation, June 1, 1926, for thirty days for new members and those who have paid a part of their joining fee."
"During this dispensation Porters and Maids who join and pay $5.00 in full will not be required to pay back dues, but their dues will begin with June, the month they join. All paid-members who pay up in full during this dispensation will not be required to pay the back dues from last October, but their dues will begin with June."

BIBLE SCHOOL HAS CLOSING
Brooklyn, N. Y., May 24—The 9th annual closing exercises of the Christian Workers Bible School were held Wednesday evening at the Antioch Baptist Church on Duffield street. Miss Rebecca J. Carter, founder and principal teacher is one of Brooklyn's best known missionary workers. Miss Carter is well qualified for this work, having completed studies in training and Mission Work.

Hot Springs, Ark., May—(Staff Correspondence for The Associated Negro Press)—“The people of the South have our sympathy,” said an impassioned speaker before the Bishop's Council session in New York City a few years ago. Following his address, the late Bishop Chappelle, of Columbia, S. C. Carose to his feet, and with the passion of eloquence that was truly his, exclaimed: “I am sick and tired of the people of the North telling that of us who live South that we have your sympathy. We do not need it. We accept cooperation, but sympathy we need none of it, for we are not suffering in the way you would have the world think. In some respects, we could well sympathize with the North.” The Bishop took his seat. The exhilaration was loud and long.
After all, where does the South begin? They are still trying to decide by elimination and mathematics where the West begins. Some say, New Yorkers for example, the Hudson River; others, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, Denver, perhaps it's Los Angeles. But the South? An extended tour in many states of the South, by this writer, has caused that question to be raised in a serious inquiry. The strongest emphasis in most of the insistence of certain kinds of segregation. This same spirit is found in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Are these of the South? Geographically speaking, the South uses, in some instances, signs; the North uses wires, hypocrisy and pulverized hate.
When the geographical South gets large enough in spirit and good-will to do away with its written and printed signs of civic segregation, tens of thousands of Negro workers, business and professional men will again flock to the Sunny South to live and let live. There are tendencies in this direction of elimination, for the close observer.
One of the leading theatres of Hot Springs admits Colored patrons to the same front entrance as white patrons and both purchase tickets at the same window. This is better than certain theatres in Philadelphia and Washington, and Cincinnati, and Kansas City, and other "northern" cities, that refuse Colored patrons all entrances. Some day there will be many more theatres like the one in Hot Springs, and no person will be worse, but the South will be better.
RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS
The more prosperous class of Colored people South use little or none of the "Jim Crow" railroad service. Any distance from one to three hundred miles or more, they use their automobiles, and their name is legion. The result is, all of them are "equal accommodations," but it grates the nerve of self-respected to be forced, by law to be "a thing apart."
The biggest nuisances of separated train service are the Negro porters. As a class, they form the most arrogant, insolent, most times ignorant and often times insulting class of public servants in American employ. There are exceptions, but they are so rare it is notable. They seldom answer a question with any civility, and many of them take their shoddy form as license to become familiar with the troubled. They often some splendid exceptions, but they are far too few. The railroads should pay better salaries and get a higher type of Colored men for those places, as long as they must have them.
First-class Pullman accommodations are more or less "individualistic." In many instances, or thru trains, "by special arrangements," one can get "Lower 13" (which means a section of the drawing room) or Lower One or Two. This fact is notably true in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, parts of Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana. This means, too, in the largest cities. For the most part, those living in wayside places must go to the large centers before they can get in to the "special arrangement." This is what we need as fortunate, and will doubtless improve with time, but at present is better than formerly. General Passenger Agent and City Ticket agents seem to be willing to use both discretion and good judgment.
Mississippi, Arkansas, *Texas, and Oklahoma are among the states in the geographical South where the Negro passenger has the most difficult time getting first-class service. An instance is told of conditions out of Hot Springs, where there were favors extended, but practically stopped when white passengers who had been told there were no further, accommodations, awoke from their sitting slumber in St. Louis or Kansas City, the next morning and saw Negroes rid-
ing in Pullmans. Their complaints back home "stopped the clock." The position is very purposely and rightly taken in this series of articles that for every unjust turn in the South, there can be found one in embryo, if not in full bloom, in the Nyrth; and for every. good white person in the North there can be found a good white person in the South, who is becoming audible, and is very sincere, as is the 'South always, in his beliefs...
Change of Public Sentiment
North Carolina is one of the most enlightened states of the South, and is spending more for general education, including the Negro, than any other southern state. The University of North Carolina, white, is one of the most highly developed schools of the county. A few years back an eminent professor was requested to resign, because he had the courage to speak his convictions on large justice for the Negro. Yet today, in practically every state of the South, there are white men, and women, who are almost daily saying stronger things than did Prof. Sheed in his study of Negro life, and they are neither asked to leave town or resign. As intelligence increases tolerance and good-will grow. There is no question about it.
It is to he recognized that there is an evil and a very bitter South, and by the same token, there is an evil and very bitter North. The evils of the South are manifest constantly in the daily, and, too often think some, in Negro newspapers. This is true to such an extent that the people living in the North have nothing but a mental picture of a vile and wicked South. This is the point of the South at large, including Negroes and whites. It was the point of the late Bishop Chappelle's protest, and shall be the point of this series of stories dealing with the other side of the geographical south.

Grosbeck, governor of Michigan, has announced the appointment of a State Interracial Commission consisting of ten members, five colored and five, white.
The announcement of these appointments tends to still further strengthen the feeling of deep friendliness existing in the hearts of the colored citizens of Michigan for Governor Groesbeck.
It is expected that the commission will meet early in June for the purpose of reviewing the activities of the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics, and outlining their plan of action for the promotion of better racial understanding and relationship.
CHURCH TAKES OVER HOSPITAL
CHURCH TAKES OVER HOSPITAL
(By Preston News Service.)
Takes Over Collins Chapel Hospital
The Collins Chapel Hospital and Old Folks Home located in Memphis, Tennessee, was taken over by the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in its conference session Monday. The hospital was owned by the Collins Chapel Church of Memphis, and the Tennessee conference. Dr. Wm. Martin, surgeon-in-chief of the hospital presented a resolution which/gave in detail the proposition upon which the conference was asked to act. In the adoption of the resolution, the conference goes on the record as being the first Negro religious organization to take a step in the litterist of the sick and injured.
This hospital is already the outstanding institution in the South and with the whole C. M. E. Church behind it, it is to become the greatest hospital owned and operated by Negroes in the country. Leaders of the church see in this project great possibilities for service to the church and humanity and the plan of operation of the institution will be made public within a few days.

Often times the output from the detector circuit is small in volume, yet generally pleasing to listen to with the head telephones. This, however, is not enough for those who wish to entertain a group consequently, the apparatus is enlarged by using an amplifier. There are two types of amplifying circuits, namely, the regenerative and the cascade amplifier circuits. In the radio frequency circuit transformer are used, but they have no large amplifying characteristics. These transformers literally or electrically bring the broadcasting station to the backdoor where the detector and radio transformer circuits build the energy up to great volume. Since audio amplifiers were first in use, we will note them first. Audio amplifiers, that which can be heard, offer an impulse impulses have passed the detector, they are then audio currents which can be heard by the human ear because they are of lower frequency vibration.
A transformer changes the strength of current either up or down according to the ratio of mary and secondary. Two distinct windings. The windings are primary and secondary. Two distinct circuits are formed. The primary is composed of larger wire and fewer turns. On the other hand, the secondary is made up of many turns of fine wire, for greater the number of secondary turns, greater will be the amplifying qualities. Transformers may be of various ratios. 3 to 1, 4.5 to 1, 6 to 1, 10 to 1, on many other winding proportions. When a current is applied to the primary, immediately a current is set up in the secondary circuit. By the principle of induction, the primary current is transferred to the secondary coil, and is greatly increased because of the greater

The criticism has been made in a few instances that the Christian Church is dying. Critics have predicted their ideas on certain changes that are apparently evident in the churches. They say the church is dying spiritually, and that there is a lay in church attendance. These statements are true in some instances. It is true that the church is passing thru a very crucial period. It is Christianity versus materialism. The world is gone mad after the material interests of the age. Christ in speaking of the parable of the sower said, "Some seed fell in good soil, but the thorns grew up and choked them out. Christ's intercession revealed the fact that the seed represented the word of God and the thorns the riches of the world. Thus the material things are still grappling at the vitals of Christianity. And a few stricken Christians are crying "The church is dying."
No, the Christain church is not dying. Nor will it ever die. The spirit and interest may be lagging in some churches, but it must be remembered that there are churches that possess the same vigor and interest that they have always had. The word church comes from a Greek word (ecclesia), meaning called out, assembly. So many churches are not called out or set apart by divine sanction, but are merely assemblies. It is this type of church that is dying, and will soon be out of commission. The Christian church stands as an impregnable wall. The fact that the Christian church is impermeable does not mean that it will not be attacked. For she is attacked by enemies on every hand. Her enemies are apparently conquering. But they shall not conquer.
A defeat, that comes at the time one thinks he is about to lay hands on the goal of success greatly intensifies his terror. Pharaoh's terror was intensified when in sight of the children of Israel, he was buried beneath the angry waves of the Red Sea. Belshazzar was drinking and making merry with a thousand of his lords and thought that success was his forever, but this mighty king had a nervous break down when the mysterious hand appeared upon the wall, and wrote therone the verdict of his doom. These two monarchs thought they had their hands on success, but God was only letting them, o on for it. He had his time set to bring them the salms 37:12 we have these words, the wicked plottet against the just, and gnus g h e t he upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him; for soe that his time is coming." Thus the forces that age at work against the Christian church, and think they are considering take heed, for while they are musing over their apparent success, God will cut them off. Forces of God must succeed. Hence the Christian church must succeed and shall not dis. Christ told Peter: "Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The word "petros" is a Greek word and means rock or rock. The church was not built upon Peter, but upon

DIXIE HOSPITAL ALUMNI MEETS
Seventeen More Students Needed To Complete The Required List At Hospital.
The Dixie Alumni met in its annual meeting in the nurses' reception hall of Dixie Hospital, Hampton, on May 12, at 3 p.m. with the president, Mrs. Louise Watkins, of Portsmouth, presiding.
The National Negro Anthem was the opening number. A very interesting program was well rendered, consisting of a vocal solo by Mrs. Baxton Brown, of Hampton, the president's annual address; a paper by Mrs. Louise Stevens, of Phoebus, on her work as a city nurse; a poem by Mrs. Jessie Haines, of Dixie Hospital, on a subject of vital importance to the alumni, led by the superintendent of the Dixie Hospital, Miss Sturdley.
After the business period the nurses' lecture and demonstration rooms which were furnished by the alumni were inspected by the assembly, and a mat sum was presented the superintendent for further equipping the rooms for the benefit of the nurses. The rooms are equipped with the very latest models, charts and facilities that will aid a nurse graduating from the hospital to pass a creditable state board examination. Fifteen more students are needed at the hospital to complete the desired number, but all applicants must be high school graduates.

WOMAN'S WORLD
ATTENTION: GIRLS! In this column week, Naomi will help you with our problems. Questions are an excellent way to live or any subject that is interested in will be carefully answered and answered. Questions in the paper address them to "Naomi," Norfolk Journal and Guide, 711 Norfolk Road.
Dear Naomi: I am a girl in my "teen" considered nice looking, though not pretty and a pal of all my boy friends. You see I am a high school girl.
Now here is my problem. There's a boy who said he was wild to me and to term it rightly quite gone over him. He used to come to our B. Y. P. U. often and talk to each other and enjoy ourselves. Then all at once he stopped coming to the B. Y. U. and stopped speaking to me. I was wondering if he had something, but not long ago and it out.
I suppose it's because one day he was standing in his door and he called me. Of course I didn't go, because I don't place myself so low to I don't a boy's house to see now when he passes he hears even speak, and as I am standing on top of the world and just ready to fall any time, I am asking you if advise me as I am sure if I knew my real self he would forgive me and he himself again.
Jean
Dear Jean! I see no reason for you to worry. You did quite right and I am sure you can have norets over your action. Of course it is unfortunate if he does not see it in the right light, but no can you do otherwise and keep the respect. Just forget it and after she he will also and think more of you because you did not care, because if you had gone the time he would expect you to keep it up when he called you the next day.
Change your mind about sitting on top of the world and willing to fall any time, if you feel you are there, why not stay there and not be so willing to fall. Let him see where he is wrong.
Naomi
Dear Naomi: I am not a high school student and just cannot express my thoughts, but I am in love with a boy and have been for three years.
He had another girl at the time we started to be friends and he promised to marry me if I waited for him. That I decided to do and love he tells me he loves us both, and cannot give up either one. He has promised to give me one half-time and the other girl one half-time tells me that some day he will meet me.
Please respond at once as I am Weary, Snd and Blue
Dear Weary, Sad and Blue: As an older woman let me offer you his advice; do not let a boy of that type worry you as he is not worth it. Surely you are not thinking of sitting around waiting for him, for if he has promised to carry you and does not know his and any better than that, why don't get yourself another beau. Be grateful to him for his honesty, in letting you know in time he felt, because it is always better to find those things out in

MISS A. M. POole, who will be honored by her fellow-teachers.
When the Norfolk Public Schools close Friday, June 11, Miss Anna Maria Poole will have completed her 45th year of service in the Norfolk schools. Norfolk learns with no little regret that this date marks the retirement of Miss Poole from active service at her own request. During these years Miss Poole has labored assiduously for community uplift, having been active not only in the school but in whatever work that tended to promote the best interests of Norfolk. Many of the citizens who are today successful in life received their inspiration from Miss Poole.
A testimonial program will be rendered in honor of Miss Poole Thursday night, June 10th at Bank Street Church under the auspices of the Norfolk Teachers Association. The public is invited to attend. The committee in charge desires especially that Miss Poole's former pupils will honor their faithful teacher by attending. Persons residing in other cities who wish to send greetings to Miss Poole are requested to address such communications to Miss Poole, in care of Booker T. Washburn School or to any member of the committee. The committee arranging for the testimonial is composed of Mrs. R. P. Palmer, Miss O. M. Spence, Mrs. A. P. Robinson, Miss Louise Cowling, Miss H. S. Brown and Mr. E. P. Southall, chairman.
Dear Naomi:
May I have a word? First I would say I am not good looking altho I pass in a crowd. I have been reading your advice to girls and have become a great admirer of your column, and do think the girls have a real friend in you, and maybe, boys too, but they that they do manage, guess they try to manage their own affairs.
I am a young man 20 years of age. I came to Virginia January 7, all the way from Denver, Colorado. Would say I am not a sheik, in fact I'm flapper shy, have a real good position with fair pay and can afford a good show once or twice a week. Love Sunday school work and attend church, do not swear or drink nor use tobacco in any form. Will be here until October but as yet I have not tried particularly to become associative with girls, but as the spring has opened up and I have in possession, a car and a skodak and like to be out in the open I wonder would some nice girl or girls like to help me enjoy Tidewater Virginia sight-seeing this summer? I have been very lonesome at times because I had rather be alone than to be with some types of girls that pass. I know that I am poor and without education (of course you knew that, judging from my writing) but then I know that I can live honest and be respected, therefore, I stay home and read books and news papers before I'll get around with girls about whom the talk is all over town if I know it. I will close by saying I'm all single free and disengaged, looking for some one to love.
P. S.—I did not come from my home as a runaway or rebel against home ties but merely to live with relatives this year by special request.
Dear Flapper Shy:
Well, girls look, we really have a letter from a nice young man with all good habits. What a nice young man you must be and I do hope you will have the gooek luck to meet just the kind of girl you admire and that you will enjoy Tidewater, Virginia, this summer as it is an ideal place to spend the summer, good roads for driving and beaches nearby for bathing.
Surely some nice girl will take you up on that offer and your kodah will have the privilege of recording many an enjoyable ternion. Books make wonderful companions, books are best, but there are lots of good girls here and I am hoping you will find the ones you like and that be fore long.

HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS
Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER,
Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking
Powder Co.
Ice-Box Cakes
As a rule desserts that are quickly prepared have a wide and well-deserved popularity. But upon second thought, one that may be made several hours before serving or even the day before is a great help to the housewife who prepares her own meals. Ice-box cakes will come under the list of desserts prepared the day before. They are delicious and nourishing, since they are made from a sponge cake foundation with the addition of a custard and whipped cream.
The first thing you do is to line the bottom and sides of a spring form or cake pan with lady fingers or slices of sponge cake about 1-4 to 1-2 inch thick. Or if lady fingers are used separate them and place the rounded side toward the pan. Prepare the filling, until your mold is full. Place in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. The filling will soak into the lady fingers and all will become firm. When ready to serve, remove the outer rim or mold, cover top with whipped cream and garnish with chopped nuts or candied fruit.
**Chocolate Ice-Box Cake**
30 lady fingers
1-2 pt. whipped cream
4 eggs
1-2 lb. sweet chocolate.
3 tbsp. water
3 tbsp. sugar
Line the sides and bottom of a small spring form, melon or bunit form with lady fingers.
Chocolate Filling—Melt chocolate in double boiler, add sugar and the water with the yolks of eggs well beaten. Cook slowly until thick and smooth, stirring constantly. When cool, add the stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Place filling in cake form, following directions above.
Lemon Ice-Box Cake
2 1-2 doz. lady fingers
1-2 pt. heavy cream
Lemon Filling—Place corn-starch, sugar, yolk of the eggs slightly beaten, milk and butter in a double boiler, let cook slowly, until thick and smooth, stirring constantly, add the lemon juice and while still warm, the stiffly beaten whites cover the surface. Cover bottom and sides of melon mould with lady fingers, separated, rounded side toward the pan and close together. Place filling in this and place in ice box for 12 or more hours. When firm, serve decorated with whipped sweetened cream.
Skinning New Potatoes
Every woman knows the difficulty of skinning new potatoes when they first come into season. The skin is so thin and the potatoes so difficult to hold, that the knife or potato scraper slips off. This trouble can easily be remedied by adopting this simple method. Pour hot water over the potatoes and add a tablespoon of salt to the water, then pour them to soak until the water becomes cool. Then commence to skin them. The skin will peel off easily, if the finger is only serraped over it.
FOR CUTLERY
Ivory handles on cutlery may be cleaned with lemon and common kitchen salt. Cut a lemon, dip it in the salt and use as a cleaning pad.
TO AVOID LUMPS
You will never have lump soups or sauces if you mix salt with the flour before moistening it. Stir with a fork instead of a spoon.
FOR LEAFY VEGETABLES
When washing spinach or greens of any sort, put a handful of salt in the second water, this will coax out the sand and any superfluous animal life that may be clinging to the leaves.
RECIPES
Veal Pot Pie and Crust
Veal Pot Pot calls for a knuckle of veal or a calf's head—about one pound of meat—meat slice of raw ham, freshened with salt, one onion, one bay leaf, three peppercorns, a blade of mace and one and a half quarts of cold water. Simmer till the meat is tender, cut it in long narrow strips, and arrange in a baking dish lined with pastry, with bread with chives cooked cresus cut in quarters, and a handful of button, mushrooms or stone olives, and add some of the liquid. Cover with the pastry crust and bake, with a paper funnel in the center—450 degrees F.—for thirty minutes.
2 level tsp. Calumet Baking Powder
3-4 c. top milk
Mix as when making baking powder biscuits, into a soft dough.

There has been a passion for thinness in America, that has so absorbed the minds of the best of our women, until it has aroused the great sources of information to take definite steps to send out information to the extent, that we do not destroy our health, and nervous energy, through and by applications, and medicine, of inferior and dangerous kind.
There is a normal weight for every person and when we foolishly strive to reduce it we are likely to run into the danger of destroying our health, or shortening our days. The intelligent thing to do is to ascertain what your normal weight should be, as well as to consider the height and stature of one's mother and father.
We are so happy to have such organizations as the American Child Health association. Thru their interest, and aid, as well as their education of the mother, thru their many agencies, the mortality of the baby has been greatly reduced, and deformation corrected, and health restored to more than 40% of the children of the poor and middle class. Baths, and food, together with plenty of fresh air are the greatest factor in building our children for health and beauty. Mothers, take ample time to give your child its bath; use the priest of soaps and their tender skins. Pay careful attention to the evidence of an eruption or rash on the skin; there are many sources for the evidence of nature's protecting a rash: neglect, may cause a poor skin throughout the entire life of the child.
Food also plays an important part in the making of the skin of the child, therefore avoid indigestible, invaluable foods, that are merely filling. The trained eye of a cook, trained to just the kind of food you have given the child, by looking at its skin.

SOCIAL WORK
By Marie Case S. Lowndes, Charlise Department of Social Work and Corrections, National Association of Colored Women.
Miss Lowndes' series of articles will discuss various social question; a sked her department by women's clubs through the county. Her long connection with Morals Court as a Social Worker in Pittsburgh, P.a., amply qualifies Miss Lowndes to intelligently suggest ways and means for improvement of social conditions. Christine Howse Miss Lowndes' advice and she h auld look in this column for suggestions as to best way to tackle their various social problems
Working Mother
It has been long ago decided, that to protect our families from disintegration and decay, is the surest way to preserve the state and the race. A community is judged, not by its great hotels, but by its homes, not by its tourists or visitors, but by its families. All kinds of social work may be described in terms of family welfare; all kinds of anti-social influences may be reckoned by their bad effects on family life. Schools, clubs, playgrounds and other institutions outside of the family, may be necessary and beneficial, but if so, in the long run, they will strengthen and support the family life.
The saloon, gambling house, disorderly house may show their destructive effects in other and more direct ways, but the full extent of their harm to society may always be more plainly visible in the broken homes and unhappy families, for which they are responsible. To maintain a normal life life or to restore to it, is the underlying object of all our social efforts. Efforts to relieve distress, or to improve general conditions, are shaped by our conception of what constitutes a normal family life.
Let us look into some of the conditions which make all the phases of social work particularly necessary to our group, and let us among ourselves consider ways and means of assisting in our schools, in our churches, in our homes, those forces which make for improvement along all the lines, in all the interests of our community life.
The working mother is so large a part of our community life and her children form so large a part of our social problem that she richly takes the first place.
When our women go to the homes of white women to do the rougher forms of the housekeeping duties, it is in order that the strength and energy of the white mother may be conserved to the training of her children; the entertaining of her husband; to the creating of the proper influences in that home, as well as to give her the time to look about improving conditions, both inside and outside her home, which in the stress of the housekeeping making a living, might escape the attention of the husband and father. Yet, with all this opportunity and contact, the great bodies of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. and many similar philanthropies are necessary for their redemption.
What is happening to our families while our women are making things sweet and clean for them? What is happening to our children, who are left for long hours without supervision or training? With very little of the same kind of effort being made for their reemption—deprived even of what every woman has to have at HOME and a MOTHER during the most important and constructive hours of the day.
During these hours, for many children, the most that is learned is from the news stand and in the alley ways. Young girls are left to be the prey of the lodger in the house, or the husband next door who works at night, and is awake, and waiting with sweets for our girl when she comes from school; or she may be the victim of the chauffeur who waits on the corner to tempt our girl to go for a ride and who stays too long in the house, or to check up on the hours she is keeping. The mother who is much more easily fooled by the truant girl or boy, and for days at a time, or until school authorities bring facts to her attention by a summons to court, and a probable fine.
Our social responsibility begins and almost ends with the problem of THE FAMILY, for all groups, especially for the Negro, because the women of no other group are so generally employed away from home. This is due to many causes, of which we wish to consider in this study, and we wish our agencies to help us to think of a way out. In the course of a day, in the Courts of Domestic Relations, or a children's aid society, or any of the agencies organized for social work, the heart-breaking appeals that come to the worker, show that
much work is to be done in training our young people for home-making, for companionship, for motherhood, for responsible parenthood, which ought to require the highest form of training—and this same responsible parenthood, would eliminate the growing necessity for social work.
Spring Festival of Girl Reserves A Big Success
Before an audience that packed the B. T. Washington school auditorium, Friday evening, May 29, the Girl Reserves of the Y. W. C. A., presented their Spring Festival. The Spring Festival, which is an annual affair, was given for the benefit of the fund to send girls to the conference at King's College. The program given this year was one of the biggest and best that has been sponsored by this group.
Part Orn, "The Rainbow Trail," be beautifully presented by a cast consisting of Miss Lillian Alexander and 1st Girl Roserve; Miss Audry Douglass, 2nd Girl Reserve; Miss Eunice Bailey, 3rd Girl Reserve; Miss Carolyn Dunge, Spirit of Girlhood; Miss Sophronia Allen, Spirit of Womanhood; Miss Noumi Hucles, Purity. The cast was very aly supported by large groups of girls representing the different colors of the rainbow.
Selections from "The Torcadores," a Spanish Operaetta, featured the second part of the program. The girls were assisted by a group from the Boys' Club. Miss Uddies Vudley, Evelyn Bailey, Bessie Gaines, Annie Mack Hutchison, Griffin, Prince Paison Charles, Willie Robinson and Benjamin Jones played the leading roles in a manner that reflected much credit upon themselves and the trainers who had worked so faithfully with them. Those singing in the chorus were members of the high school group.
Those responsible for the success of the affair were: Misses Mabel Goff, Lygia Cross, Blanche Holte, Naomi Johnson, Claire Boyd, Eva Mae Clark, Jessie Cousins, Louise Cowish, Hilda Seldon, Vivian Huele, Oatrice Cotton, Helena Smith, Lucille Douglass, Anna Williamson, Mrs. Janie Bell Jackson, Miss M. A. Dudley, chairman Girl Reserve Committee; Mrs. R. B. Hucles, executive secretary t; Miss B. M. Butler, Girl Reserve secretary.

URGENT NEED FOR FUNDS FOR NEGRO HISTORY WRITING
Dr. Carter G. Woodson Compares The Stupendous Sum The White Race Is Raising For A Similar Purpose.
Washington, D. C., June 3.—In urging the colored people of America to speedily subscribe the $20,000 asked for last February by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History for the writing of the history of the race this year, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the association calls attention to the $1,000,000 t h e white people of this country are raising this year to write the history of their race, and cites in comparison the maegre sum the Negroes are asked for a similar purpose, although their needs along this line are infinitely greater.
Says Dr. Woodson:
"The white people of this country are raising $1,000,000 b i s year to write the history of their race. When we think of the millions already invested for research and the publication of their achievements we can get an idea as to how much they appreciate the value of the written record. Because of their keen appreciation of such things the white people are where they are today. Because of our lack of such appreciation we are where we are today. Yet some of us wonder why it is so and try to

STOP LOSING FLESH AND GROW FAT QUICK
Tens of thousands of thin, run-down men—yes, and women too—are getting discouraged—are giving up all hope of ever being able to take on flesh and look healthy and strong.
All such people can stop worrying and start to smile and enjoy life right now for MeCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets, which any druggist will tell you all about, is putting flesh on hosts of skinny folks every day.
One woman, tired, weak and discouraged, put on 15 pounds in five weeks and now feels fine.
We all know that Cod Liver Oil is full of vitalizing, flesh producing vitamins, but many people can't take it because of its horrible smell and fishy taste and because it often upsets the stomach.
McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets are as easy to take as candy and if any thin person don't gain at least 5 pounds in 30 days your druggist is authorized to give you your money back—and only 60 cents for 60 tablets. Ask any druggist.

"The association is endeavoring to raise the writing of the history of the Negro of this country and Africa only $20,000 this year, just one-fifth of the amount the white people are raising. Do you think that our needs in this respect are less than one-fifth of those of the whites? In view of the process of creation and observing what has already been done to set forth the achievements of the white man I should think that if they need $1,000,000 we should have $50,000,000 instead of $20,000.
"A race is recognized for what it has done. The Negro race has done as much good as any other race, but neither the Negroes nor the whites generally know it. To have a record which we suffer to remain hidden away in the past means a loss of prestige, a loss of social status, and possibly a loss of existence. Yet, we are doing nothing definite to meet this crying need for popularizing the achievements of the Negro. For sixteen years I have been devoting my life and all of my means to this work, and such help as I have received has come from sympathetic white people."
It is expected that the leadership of the race as found among the professional, and educational and business groups are to assume the greater responsibility for raising this $20,000 as it is to be devoted to a cause that obviously is not yet popular among the masses. The need is urgent, and the progress of the efforts to raise this money has not yet been encouraging. All race-loving persons are asked to send checks and subscriptions to Dr. Carter G. Woodson, 1538 9th street, N. W., Washington, D. C.

A Police Sergeant In New York
What do those communities, especially in the Southern states, which consider it dangerous policy to employ Afro-Americans on the police force, think of the policy of the Democratic Administration of New York City, which has appointed during the past sixteen years more than an hundred such officers, and found it profitable to do so? There is not a community in the South where the ends of law and law enforcement would not be better served if Negro police officers were employed. It has been that way in New York City, which has a population of more than 5,000,000 people to handle.
Samuel J. Battle was one of the first Negroes appointed to the police force in New York City. That was in 1911. He has made a splendid record and has always stood well with his supervisors. Commissioner McLaughlin has just promoted Mr. Battle to the rank of sergeant. It is a rank of great honor and power in police service in New York City. And this sort of recognition by the Tammany Hall democracy indicates for us the reason why so many Afro-Americans support that wing of the democracy, especially in municipal elections. The Negro is recognized in Democratic primaries and in elective and appointive offices by the New York democracy, one of the civil service commissioners at this time and one of the aldermen being Negroes. Negroes should get as much out of politics as they put in it, but they do not. Why not? Southern Democrats, who have much to learn, should study the methods employed by the Tammany Hall democracy in dealing with the race problem.
Rare Collection of Race Literature
It is a distinct race gain that the New York Public Library has acquired, through the munificence of the Carnegie Corporation, the splendid collection of race literature, gathered by Mr. Arthur A. Schomberg thru thirty years, the corporation paying for it $10,000, although Mr. Schomberg had received offers much higher for the collection. He preferred to dispose of it to the best advantage of the public and specialists who should want to be informed on Negro history and art. Mr. Schomberg will have his name perpetuated by the collection as the two will go together, and that as it should be. Mr. Schomberg is one of the most scholarly and public spirited men of the race in New York City.
There are two other collections of Negro literature in existence which may rival in value that of the Schomberg collection. The one was gathered by Mr. Young of New York City, and the other was gathered by Mr. Henry Slaughter, the editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal in Washington. The Slaughter collection is one of the most extensive and valuable in existence, and those who know about it will be concerned about the final disposition until it has been made. Mr. Slaughter is an indefatigable student of race literature and knows the contents as well as the names of the volumes in his collection.
There are peculiar persons in all races who make a business of collecting rare books and other objects which have no great deal of value in the beginnings of them but which become invaluable for future reference. We are frequently disposed to regard the persons with the collection mania as being queer but they serve a very useful purpose.
Better Not Say It
Bad news travels faster than good news. There is an old saying, "No news is good news." Let a man be converted at a church service and there is not much of a stir, but let a resident be convicted of crime and the news leaps by word of mouth from one end of the community to the other.
How thoughtlessly unkind we sometimes are when acquaintances of ours suffer misfortune! Troubles are bound to come to us all in some shape or form, and what we say about others today may apply to us tomorrow. News is no respecter of persons.
We are prone to consider the ways of others not our ways when we should be watching our own step. What folks say of one another sometimes hurts more than anything they could have done. News, either good or bad, grows and becomes exaggerated and distorted with peddling. When the news is good it makes no material difference how it is exaggerated or distorted.
Editorial Page of
—it can never do anyone positive harm. But bad news given wings, may bring sorrow and ruin upon people who certainly are not deserving of a punishment beyond the penalty of their mistake.
More charity for others will mean charity for ourselves and we will gradually come to take a keener delight in reporting something good of some person than something bad. Good is constructive, bad is destructive. Just before you are about to let out a bit of "bad news," stop and think a moment. See if you can't think of something good to say in place of it. The chances are ten to one that you can and that you will.
Sounding the Right Note
In discussing the action of the United States Supreme Court in upholding a decree of a lower court of the District of Columbia holding as constitutional the right of white communities to enter into an agreement to bar the sale of their property to Negroes, the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch made a sound and sound approach to a just solution of a very difficult problem which is no longer sectional, but national in scope, when it said:
"Since it has been determined, even in cities like Washington, that is is better for the whites to inhabit one section and the Negroes another, the responsibility rests on the city authorities to improve the living conditions of the areas devoted under such tacit zoning regulations to Negroes. As the colored race advances it is entitled to better nomes, to better streets, to provisions for parks and for other attractions in keeping with their numbers and the taxes they pay, either as owners or renters. Large areas in Norfolk have been developed for new homes for white people. If Norfolk would develop one or more such areas for desirable, health ful and attractive homes for the better class of colored people there would be less excuse for the desire of some of them to push into sections now occupied by whites."
There are many good lawyers who hold that the Washington litigants did not carry their case to the Supreme Court in proper form and that there are still possibilities of getting a decree from the court that will be as binding against this form of racial segregation in property holding as is the decree in the Louisville case. It is true that the famous "grandfather" disfranchising clause was carried to the Supreme Court several times before that tribunal finally decreed its unconstitutionality. Without regard to this phase of the matter, however, the most permanent and satisfactory solution of the problem lies in the way pointed out by the Ledger-Dispatch.
The Negro's side of this question of "pushing" into white districts has never been truthfully set forth by those who would restrict the race to the ghettoes in which we are forced by tradition to live. Many white people interpret our desire to move out of mud, insanitary houses and otherwise undesirable environments in terms of a desire to mingle with their race. Where Negroes get paved streets, proper building restrictions, adequate sanitary conditions and police and fire protection with transportation facilities there is no desire to move anywhere. But where can Negroes find these living conditions except in a white district? The municipality has a very definite responsibility in the solution of the problem and a very big opportunity to make for racial peace and amity if the course laid down by the Ledger-Dispatch is followed.
We Have a Thrifty President
The story is going the rounds that President Coolidge saves quite half his salary of $75,000 per annum, and that he has always managed to save something in the smaller places he has held as a public servant. That is to say, the President of the United States, educated in the thrifty ways of the New Englanders, where the soil and the climate used to make everybody hustle for his daily keep and provide something for the future or suffer for failure to do so, lives economically, as he insists upon administering the affairs of the nation. When he made but a small income he saved something of it; so, when he receives a large income, he saves something of it. While living in the present he makes proper provision for the future, and we all know the lean years follow the fat years, that a period of prosperity is liable to become of a sudden one of scarcity.
President Coolidge sets, a good example for the nation in practicing reasonable economy in his personal expenditures and insisting that a like policy be followed in the appropriation and expenditure of public money. His example should be an inspiration to us as well as to all of the people of the country. The national disposition is toward lavish expenditure in personal matters and in the conduct of public affairs we have got the notion that big expenditures, whether necessary or not, are the proper thing. With Afro-Americans the disposition is to keep pace with those who live expensively, and to have as good as the neighbor has,—in automobiles, radio sets, telephone service, say,—whether we really need to do so, or can afford to do so.
A penny saved is a penny made, and pennies make the dollars. You can't have the dollars unless you sacrifice and save the pennies.
Next Tuesday's Election
The election next Tuesday is to fill three vacancies which will occur in city council next September. There are eight candidates in the field: Messrs. Butler and Herbert, encumbents, and Dr. A. E. Wilson, running as the administration ticket; Messrs. Wood, Carver and Jones, representing business and political interests understood
as being opposed to the present administration; and Messrs. Burckhard and Jakeman, running as independents.
As a matter of plain duty every qualified voter should participate in the election. Minority groups are particularly vocal, regarding their position and disadvantages, but as a rule they are the most negligent about voting when their votes would count for something in their interest.
man to keep her hold on her husband's affection.
Most important of all is it that the wife herself be true. The finer and cleaner a man is, the more and the quicker will he resent marital infidelity on the part of his wife. Expect a man to submit to such indignity and keep a home intact? God! Not even the New Testament binds
As between the abilities and fitness of the candidates there is little to choose. Everybody who is running has attained more or less success in a business or professional way. The platforms and principles, upon which the candidates are running are not sufficiently defined as to create any essential difference, except that the Herbert-Butler-Wilson ticket professes to be in favor of a continuation of a non-partisan form of government, while the other candidates have made no specific declaration on that point.
Whatever the issues may be as they affect the city as a whole, there is one group—the colored citizens—who can draw very little satisfaction from the past four years' record of Messrs. Herbert and Butler, where the colored group's particular interests are concerned. These gentlemen have been unsympathetic to the point of frigidity. The park question has been before Council in one form or another for the past four years and the administration has not seen fit to do anything definite until a few days ago when an option to purchase was taken on the Barraud place. And credit for this is due to the persistent efforts of Messrs. Robertson and Martin, neither of whom are running in this election.
But the crowning hardship which the administration inflicted upon the colored population was the ordinance which abolished the bus system private owners had erected to serve a territory which the city and the traction company had ignored for twenty-five years. The same ordinance raised the bus fare forty per cent, reduced the service fifty per cent, and took away the rights of the private owners to operate busses.
So it seems that if the colored citizens cast their votes against Messrs. Buller, Herbert and Wilson, and for Messrs. Wood, Carver and Jones, they will do the thing that is naturally to be expected in the circumstances. They will be running true to good political form. As to whether Messrs. Wood, Carver and Jones, or any three of the five candidates running against the administration ticket, would, if elected, be an improvement over the encumbents remains for the future to tell. Certainly they could not be any worse, and if they really wish to serve the city as a whole and advance the interests of the people as a whole, they must serve all the people without regard to geographical locations.

How Many Husbands?

How many husbands need an look forward to having the wife will have a care to avoiding the divorce court. All things being equal, a normally healthy married couple have about the same prospect of life. They both eat the same food, drink the same water, enjoy the same comforts, are dominated by the same outlook, and are mutually engaged to seek each the other's welfare. Why should they not live to a ripe old un-re-marriageable age together?
PETER J. HARRIS
The shadow of the undertaker is far less to be feared than that of the divorce lawyer. The sad sympathies of obituary letters are not nearly so liable as the searing scandals that make grass widows and break up homes. And yet, let no one say that divorce is unavoidable. A woman can avert the possibility of divorce in her life by exercising proper care in the selection of her mate. He must needs he a good man when she marries him. In the majority of cases it is a mere superstition that one can marry a bad man and then reform him. A wedding ceremony is of no more avail in making a bad man into a worthy husband than is a baptismal ceremony in changing a sinner into a saint. In each case the ceremony is but an outward symbolization of what is supposed to have already taken place. If a man is not honorable and sympathetic and loyal] during courtship, he will hardly become such by reason of the formality of a wedding.
Another thing the young woman needs to take into consideration is the futility of depending on the familiarities of marriage to accomplish what only the slow processes of character building can guarantee. Familialities do not give birth to love in libertines, whether married or single. Familialities simply whet their appetites for further experience. If you would be sure of loyal love, accept the hand of only the man who puts you first and your body second.
Again, you can avoid divorce by being agreeable. One way to be agreeable is to be satisfied with what his income will provide. Nothing is so vexing to a husband as to be forever pestered with a woman who nags him into dishonesty to buy jewelry, clothes, furniture, car, social standing, which his earning capacity does not justify. Looked at positively, agreeableness consists in the attainment of charm. Charm is the attribute of a body that is healthy, that is clean, that is neatly dressed. It is the attribute of a mind that is cheerful and a heart that is pure. Body, mind and spirit, these three must be undefiled, if the personality is to possess charm. That is why innocent adolescence is charming without effort. Disease and overwork have not jaded the body the sordidness of sinful knowledge has not invaded the soul. More attention to her own health and character, and less to the society pastime of "getting ahead," would enable many a married wom-
an to keep her hold on her husband's affection.
Most important of all is it that the wife herself be true. The finer and cleaner a man is, the more and the quicker will he resent marital infidelity on the part of his wife. Expect a man to submit to such indignity and keep a home intact? God! Not even the New Testament binds a man to live with an adulteress.

Need Modern Mothers
Editor Journal Guide:
Sir: Having been reared during modern times and by open minded parents, I am forced to admit that it makes me ashamed of such letters as Mr. Charlie Thompson had in your last week's issue, although I have a little-sympathy for him.
Letters of that kind reflect on our intellectual qualifications. Why two or more people associated in friendship, marriage or business, who have a common purpose, desire and motive and are attempting to realize the same ideals will always wish to alter or adjust and improve the purpose of each other; there is confidence, heart to heart talks are possible, and there is always enough understanding to cause agreement upon general principles. This is the law of fundamentals. Therefore the harmony of a mother and daughter's association depends largely upon the mother's ability to evolve, and unless attention is given to the proper laws of relationship upon the paths of life in any household, living with those who are opposite in ideals will cause great unhappiness to the average individual. No two persons are identical; each must possess some degree of *attraction* for the other, and the highest degree of attraction exists between those who are in entire accord as to fundamentals.
Therefore a mother realizing that there is no harm in her daughter wearing short dresses or that it is not indecent or immodest should not object. Of course Mr. Thompson does not realize that we are living in a different age now than the one our grandparents knew. Vegetation is not as slow, and in all worthwhile towns and cities ox carts have gone out of existence. Automobiles and aeroplanes have come into their own and although the human mind has regarded glass as brittle, breakable and utterly unelastic and unbendable, science's newest discovery proves to the world that glass can be produced which can be bent like a garden hose and bounced like a rubber ball and does not crack or shatter into a thousand pieces.
Years ago our grandparents had quilts to make and rugs to hook, pillows to stuff and ale to brow, but now modern machinery has changed those conditions and by virtue of so many miraculous discoveries and inventions why shouldn't we change? If we did not change we would be too slow for modern times.
What this country needs, much more than old fashioned mothers and daughters, Mr. Thompson, is more modern mothers, mothers who not only advise their daughters but mothers who can appreciate their daughters intellectual development, mothers who keep their minds open to the voices of nature, to new ideas and improve upon their old ideas as often as they can; take off those body wrecking corsets, wear your dresses shorter, bob your hair, smoke cigarettes rather than use snuff; your health will be better, you will look better and be cleaner. Be a companion for your daughter, take her to parties, movies, automobile riding, parks and beaches; be compatible and a daughter will appreciate you. For education is the lever to raise mankind. Are you mothers going to allow any such bunk as Mr. Thompson wrote to stay in your head and remain in the rut of ignorance that teaches the doctrines of the past when you should be learning the discoveries of the present?
I would advise Mr. Thompson and all other ante bellum individuals who hope for youths for many years to come to have constant association with young people, to study their psychological reactions, to sympathize with their joye and prejudices, cultivate their enthusiasm and freshness of point of view, then you will be young to one hundred and you will look at least fifty years younger than your actual age.

Columbia is the seat of the National Government. The legislative, judicial and executive branches are all located here. At the capitol, laws are made for the government of the United States. If the fountain head is pure the stream will be pure, but if the fountain head is polluted the stream must needs be deflated. It is therefore of prime importance to the colored people to keep a close eye and strict watch upon racial happenings in the District of Columbia.
During the last few weeks matters have been going from bad to worse and from worse to worst. The Interstate Commerce Commission has denied jurisdiction in interstate travel. The United States Senate has by decisive majority declined to reintroduce the Dyer bill which aims to correct the evils of lynching. The provision for separate bathing beaches has just passed both houses of Congress and has been signed by the President of the United States. The fact of separate bathing facilities is not out of harmony with prevailing practice and custom in the District of Columbia in other modes of public utilities and facilities. The objection lies in having this discrimination written into the law by the Congress of the United States. This is perhaps the most conspicuous instance of race discrimination to be found anywhere in federal law. The Supreme Court of the United States by unanimous decision has declared local covenants excluding colored people from buying, owning or occupying property in covenanted districts not unconstitutional. This gives these covenants the force and sanction of law. We may note in passing that this case, originating in the capitol of the nation, has been passed upon by three courts and thirteen judges with unanimous concurrence.
At the capitol of the nation the Negro meets with every form of discrimination confronted in the Southern states. Disfranchisement of the Negro, I believe, was first sanctioned here after the passage of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, but in order to give it the semblance of fairness the whites were equally disfranchised. This reminds me to say that some of our Negro agitators seem to be more interested in equality than justice. They do not feel the disfranchisement in the District of Columbia because whites and blacks are alike voteless.
We have separate schools the
Reviewing the denial of jurisdiction by the Interstate Commerce Commission in interstate travel; the rejection of the McKenzie anti-lynching bill by the Senate committee on the judiciary; the separate bathing beaches bill, now law, signed by the President, and the denial of jurisdiction by the United State Supreme Court in land covenant cases, Dr. Kelly Miller declares that the last few weeks have seen matters going from bad to worse and from worse to worst.
"It is vitally important that the race should keep its eye on the national legislature," adds Dr. Miller, "especially to forfend unfair action. We have very little hope for affirmative action in our behalf but live in constant dread of hostile enactment," continues Dr. Miller, who sees in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the one bright hope for our most effective fighting of civil injustices.
same as in the South and border states. There is no separate car system. There is no antimiscegation law although sundry attempts have been made to this effect. Some years ago we woke up one morning and found that such a measure had passed the House of Representatives by almost unanimous vote and was defeated in the Senate only by keeping it from a vote by skillful tactics. There are constantly kept before Congress bills for the establishment of separate cars and antimiscegation laws for the District of Columbia. In the present Congress a bill has been introduced for a national antimiscegation law. The most insidious form of race discrimination is not written in law but presides in 5 public sentiment. There is no law in Washington or elsewhere which forbids civil equality between the races except in the instance above enumerated, and yet the Negro is effectively excluded from restaurants, hotels, barbers shops and places of amusement as if by statutory enactment.
It is vitally important that the race should keep its eye on the national legislature especially to fordend unfair action. We have very little hope for affirmative action in our behalf but live in constant dread of hostile enactment. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only effective organization in the field of political and civil rights. The headquarters are in New York City but the real focus is the National Capitol. The local organization for this city has been fortunate during the past 10 years in havait its head men of the highest conscription and devotion. The Honorable Archibald Grimke retired recently because of age, was and is one of the most out-
spoken apostles for race equality with the "i" dotted and the "t" crossed. He served as the head of the local branch for many years and has been as effective as any other in combating race prejudice and discrimination at the national capitol. He developed the ripest years of his life to this cause without reward or compensation. Indeed he would have spurned remuneration for service rendered for human right.
Fortunately he was succeeded by a younger man, Mr. Neval H. Thomas, who is filled with a dooble measure of his spirit. New H. Thomas is upright and down straight on all matters of political and civil rights of his race and is as unaccompromising as the Hebrew prophet. As head of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. he keeps a hawk eye upon congressional action and departmental procedure. He has acquired an infallible instinct in detecting racial prejudice and discrimination and never fails to hit it and to hit it hard. He is a school teacher and draws his stipend from the federal government and yet he never fails to denounce the wrong and the wrong doer with such unmistakable courage that even the legislators whom he criticizes are compelled to commend his courage and the righteousness of his position. When the rest of us were restrained by prudence and caution he demanded equality of provision in the public schools, largely as result of his insistence, has become the accepted policy of those in charge of the most democratic machinery of the national capitol. Sports are of a most democratic nature. They are more democratic than the church or school. There is less discrimination at the Ball Park than any other public institution in the city. When the monster, preyed threatened to raise its arm in the sports, it was Neval E. Thomas who checked it in its insipiency and kept the sports of the national capitol democratic. It was but last week that he appealed to the President of the United States not to sign the separate bathing beach bill that writing into law race discrimination by the federal government. Although his priest was not effective it at least called attention of the Negro and the nation to the grave danger of having race discrimination nominated in the bond. As local prejudice is so strong as to prevent identity of public right facilities, it is a wise policy to defer only as far as we must be the discriminating practice but never allow it to be crystallized into law.
