Col. James from Wilson face to face with international proceedings. Firing the salute was delayed until the bearing the Haitian President locked. On holiday, in firing the salute to the jeers with which Presi- dian was greeted by a group of men, was gaspified. At the same time that officials of the Pennsylvania System, who were in the city a couple of week ago, announced that work on the terminals would begin at once, they also announced that the cemetery would be opened at the municipal elevator would be absorbed by the railroad. Elevator Charges This arrangement will put the Norfolk elevator on an equal basis with those at Philadelphia and Baltimore, and enable the city to compete in handling grain from Buffalo, heretofore barred by a lower gross rate to Baltimore and Philadelphia. It is quite certain that this concession will stimulate the movement of grain through this port and consequently add to the labor boom that now appears certain. At present the railroad is its free freight carrier to its terminal at Port Norfolk. The Little Creek terminals are proposed to shorten this ferry route. As soon as these terminals are sufficiently complete the transfer of the company's freight car ferry movement from Port Norfolk to Little Creek will begin. labor Conditions Normal Local labor conditions are at present normal. There is very little, if any, unemployment here for those who want to work. Coal dumps at the Lambert's Point and Sywell's Point piers of the Norfolk and Western and Virginian Railway have reached a high mark this month, the record eclipsing that of any month during the year. Coal handlers have found work plentiful at the piers in the past several months. The movement of foreign vessels through the local port this year has been such as to provide steady work for dock workers and good money in their pockets. With the local labor situation normal, or slightly better, it is easy to conclude that the employment which will be available here where the Pennsylvania's huge project starts will in every sense constitute a labor boom. The work which is to begin now is expected to be completed in 1927. But the increased demand for labor will be permanent because of the increased business that the Pennsylvania will handle here through its new terminals. The construction of harves, warehouses, yards, buildings, transfer bridges and other facilities and a branch line from "Little Creek" into Norfolk with a terminal on St. Julian avenue, near Calvary cemetery which are included in the railroad company's immediate plans, will constitute an immense laboring project and will provide work in abundance" in the Tidewater section for son-a time, owner.

Although President Borno, dignified as he is, on his return to Haiti, disawarded any hurt at the slight, claiming he thought it due to a misunderstanding, the court-martial of the army officer responsible has been formally ordered. When the ditsinguished Haitian departed from this country the salute was fired at the exact moment with a brigadier general, two colonels, five captains, and five lieutenants lined up on Castle William in full regalia. PERKINS ASKS $10,000.00 IN DAMAGE SUIT Three Cops Accused of Severely Beating, Kicking And Arresting Prominent Colored Citizen Without Cause VICTIM ONE OF THE BEST LOCAL CITIZENS Another case of unwarranted police brutality is numbered among the several which have been charged against certain local police officers placing colored persons under arrest in recent months, according to allegation cited in the papers in a $10,000 damage suit filed in Circuit Court Wednesday by Attorney Walter H. Land on behalf of Albert Perkins, of 410 East Charlotte street, against Sergeant L.'T. Sykës' and Officers H. L. Helvin and J. A. Winslow. The Charges These officers are charged with having unlawfully and with a cause chased Mr. Perkins from in front of his home across the Academy lot, shot at him several times, assaulted and severely beat and kicked him, placed him, rested and lodged him, jail without warrison, case on Friday night, jail 9, and otherwise humiliated and injured him. Respected Citizen Mr. Perkins is one of the most highly respected citizens of this city. He comes from one of Norfolk's best families and best families and has himself so lived in this community as to merit the respect of the best people. He has been a steward on a private car of the Virginian Railway for a number of years; owns the property where he resides; is a direct tax payer and is prominently connected in the social, fraternal and business life of the colored people here. Just a few weeks ago he married the former Miss Imogene P. Williams, long a school teacher in the local schools, and member of prominent family. Mr. Perkins had just returned with his extended honeymoon with his bride when the alleged assault for which he seeks damages was committed. His damage suit follows his prompt acquittal in Police Court Saturday morning of a charge of aiding and abetting prostitution, which the officers had placed against him. Mr. Perkins charges in his complaint that on the night of July 9, between the hours of 9. and 10 o'clock while sitting on the front porch of his home he saw a man appear dressed in civilian clothes, who he afterwards discovered to be Officer J. A. Winslow, and approach a colored girl on Charlotte street whom he engaged in a hurried conversation; that this man left the street and entered the premises of Mr. Perkins in company with the girl and went in the rear of the Perkins yard. In about five minutes the complaint states, he left his porch and went out on the sidewalk and hailed the persons in his backyard and inquired what they were doing on his premises. At this time he was standing on the sidewalk in front of his home and opposite the lane which is a part of his premises where the man and woman had entered. Hailed Them When he called them to come out of his premises, the papers declare, two other men dressed in civilian clothes who were afterwards discovered to be Sergeant L. T. Sykes and Officer H. L. Helvin, seized him. Perkins, believing they were civilians because they were not dressed in uniform snatched away from them and backed on the curb opposite his house; then Winslow came from the year with the girl and all three of the officers advanced toward Perkins, they being between him and his home. Not knowing they were police officers, he states, he started to retreat. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1926 Magistrate EDWARD HENRY HENRY OUT FOR POST HELD BY J.

Freeman, 49 years old, who fatally wounded his two sons, Raymond and Clifton, during an altercation at his residence, 265 Seventeenth street, southeast, June 20, lst, was exonerated last Tuesday in the death of his son, Clifton, who died Monday in the Gallinger Hospital. Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt took the view that the exoneration given the father by a coroner's jury on June 23, in the death of his other son, Raymond, would apply in the death of the second son. Sons Attack Parent Sons Attack Parent The evidence at the inquest into the death of Raymond and Clifton, was to the effect that the two sons had gone to the home of their father June 20, in a drunken condition and attacked him when he requested them to leave. It was testified that the two boys beat their father, one of them striking him with a large lamp, cutting his head and knocking him unconscious. When the father recovered, in a dazed condition, he grabbed a knife and stabbed both boys, witnesses said. Raymond died on June 22. Clifton was taken to the hospital in a serious condition. He appeared stronger Monday morning when he asked to be taken home, but physicians, knowing his critical condition, would not grant the request. He died at 12:30 o'clock Monday morning. Police of the fifth precinct immediately arrested the father on a charge of murder. After a conference with the United States attorney's office, Coronen Nevitt ordered him released. Daniel Freeman is the father of fourteen children, eleven of whom are living. When Raymond and Clifton attacked him, he says it was the first time in his life anyone of them has been THIRTY-YEAR JOHNSON TO SENTENCE IS GOTO HOWARD CUT BY COURT IN SEPTEMBER Cruelty, Infidelity, Non-Support, Charged In Capital Divorce Suits Richmond Judge Revises Woman's Punishment To Six Years On Plea of Counsel for Defendant. FURTHER EFFORTS MAY BE MADE TO AID HER Richmond, July 12—The thirty-year penitentiary sentence of Mrs. Susie Boyd, recently imposed by Judge W. Kirk Matthews in the Hustings Court on a plea of guilty to three indictments charging forgery, was reduced by the Court to six years Tuesday of last week. Judge Matthews decision to reduce the sentence came after a conference with Charles W. Moss, counsel for the woman. The court changed the sentences on two of the indictments to three years each and on the third gave the woman a suspended sentence of 10 years. It is probable that she will not have to serve longer than four years as it is possible for good behavior to reduce a six year sentence that much. Much Interest Shown The case of Susie Body had attracted considerable interest, both white and colored citizens including both the News-Leader and the Times-Dispatch protesting against the severity of the sentence. The woman pladed guilty to three counts of forgery involving $29.00, although it is said she had forged a total of 23 checks on her former employer, the total sum involved not exceeding $183.00. Those interesting themselves in her behalf declared that she was of low mentality, and they also drew attention to the fact that during the same week a Richmond court had suspended the sentence of a white woman convicted of shoplifting to the extent of $15,000. Mr. Moss had voluntarily interested himself in the case. It is understood that the N. A. A. C. P. will make an effort to locate the six months old baby of the accused woman and make some provisions for its care. It has been intimated that further steps will be taken to further relieve Mrs. Bowl of the prison sentence. (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., July 13—Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy of the District Supreme Court last Friday signed in interlocutory decree granting an absolute divorce to Ollie Newman from his wife, Eva Newman. John H. Perkins was the co-respondent in the case. Charges Misconduct Newman, through Attorney Armond W. Scott, charged his wife with misconduct with Perkins at No. 87 Fenton place, in the month of August 1924. In the hearing of the case Attorney Scott bared a letter from the co-respondent to Mrs. Newman, advising her that he was in Occuquan and would be released about November 4, 1924, and telling her to pay $5 on an overcoat for him so that he could have it when he came home and get him a gray hat. Eva Perkins, the wife of the correspondent, testified that she had seen her husband in bed with Eva Newman on August 8, 1924, that she was forced to leave him and that of his conduct with Mrs. Newman.

Immediately upon receipt of the cablegram, Dr. Scott forwarded a copy of it to each trustee.

On August 20, he is scheduled to deliver the principal address at the National Baptist Convention in Forth Worth, Texas. (Special Correspondent) Washington, D. C., July 13—Through Attorneys Houston and Houston, Mrs. Lucy A. Torrence, 736 Harvard street, northwest, has filed suit against her husband, James Torrence, 712 Forty-sixth street, northeast, for an absolute divorce. She charges him with adultery, non-support and cruelty. She names Rosalie Scott, 1030 Whittingham place, northeast, as the co-respondent.

NORI sidency o Newp'rtNews BansMasked Parades An ordinance enacted by the City Council of Newport News this week prohibits future parades and processions of any group, or body or organization, "the members of which are so customed, dressed or masked as to be unrecognizable." Enactment of the ordinance, it is believed, is the outcome of a lengthy discussion which took place in the Council chamber several weeks ago when the question of granting permission for the local ku klux klan to parade thru the streets of the city as a part of an all-day celebration planned the last of the month. At that time a compromise offered by one of the councilmen which granted the klan permission to parade in masks provided that the city manager was furnished with the names of several in the parade who could be held responsible in the event of any unexpected happening. The section of the ordinance prohibiting masked parades reads: "Parades and processions, except funerals, shall not be allowed, except by permit of the director of public safety, which permit shall designate the time and route of such procession or parade and no part of such procession or parade shall move except according to the terms of such permit, provided, however, that no permit shall be issued for any procession or part of any group, body or organization, the members of which are so customary, masked or disguised as to be unrecognizable, and provided further that this provision shall not apply to persons costumed as clowns taking part in authorized circus parades." With the passage of this ordinance, Newport News takes rank as one of the very few cities, if not the only one, in the South prohibiting by statute masked parades. JURY DECLARES DECK HILL NOT GUILTY OF RAPE Deck Hill, who went on trial in Corporation Court No. 1, Thursday morning on a charge of having committed rape upon a woman living in the 900 block of Princess Anne Rd, early last June was found not guilty. The trial consumed the entire day and much sensational testimony was disclosed. Hill not only denied that he attacked the woman but declared that her own husband had severely beaten her during the night. He said that on the day previous to the alleged rape he had seen the woman and a man not her husband with their heads leaning out of a window of her home. Hill said he told her husband about this, during the night severely beat her about it. Hill said the woman later accused him of having caused her husband to beat her and declared that she would get even with him (Hill) even if she had to tell a lie on him. The man whom it was claimed had been seen with his head out of the window with the woman went on the stand in Hill's defense. He testified that he had known and had intimate relations with the woman for a year before her husband met her. When questioned closely on this testimony he stuck to it and insisted that it was true. Other witnesses went on the stand and testified that the woman and her husband had frequent quarrels and that their domestic life was all but tranquil. Hill denied ever having attacked the woman, insisting that she brought the charges against her even before she formally formed her husband about her alleged conduct with the other man. The woman testified that she was attacked by Hill immediately after her husband left for work early, in the morning. She declared that the defendant beat her and forced her to submit to his will. ALL NEWS THAT'S WORTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS FOLK f Lincoln OPPOSITION OF ALUMNI WINS FIGHT Newly Elected President Of Lincoln University Notifies Trustees Of His Declination Of Offer Of Presidency. DECLARES PASTORATE HAD STRONGER APPEAL (Special Correspondence) New York, July 13 The immediate and emphatic opposition of the Lincoln University Alumni Association is held to be responsible for the Rev. Walter B. Greenway's declining the presidency of Lincoln University. At a meeting of the board of trustees of the university held on June 28, in the Witherpoon Building, Philadelphia, Rev. Greenway was elected president of Lincoln by a vote that was said not to be unanimous. This selection did not become known to the alumni until June 30. Alumni Protests Alumni Protests On that day the Alumni Association, through its president, Dr. E. P. Roberts, of New York City, and its secretary, William M Ashby, of Newark, sent Dr. Greenway a telegram stating: "Rumor has that the presidency of Lincoln University has been tendered you. If this be true, before accepting, it is only fair that you know all the facts you must face. You will meet the hostile opposition of the Lincoln University Alumni Association, the violent attacks of the Negro and lack of support of many white friends of Negro education. We urge you for your own happiness, the best interests of Lincoln University and of the race to decline this offer." It is not believed by the alumni that Rev. Greenway had declined prior to being urged not to accept by the alumni. It is well-known that he alumni the university incorporated with members of his family. (Contributed on Peer Six.) MATT HENSON, RACE MAN, WAS FIRST TO REACH POLE MATT HENSON, RACE MAN, WAS FIRST TO REACH POLE Was There Forty-five Minutes Ahead of Peary, Story In Liberty Magazine Relates. The first man to reach the North Pole, according to a story in this week's issue of Liberty magazine, was Matthew Henson, who was chief personal aide to Commander Peary when that United States naval officer reached the top of the world on April 6, 1909. Henson is the only human being that was with Peary when the discovery was made. The incident of his color has kept him from reaping the just reward of his service and valor. At present he holds a position as messenger in the office of the collector of internal revenue, New York city, and supplements the small salary which he earns by giving lectures on his arctic experiences. The United States government and the American people have failed to accord Matthew Henson any adequate recognition for his part in the discovery of the Pole, but upon one occasion Commander Peary wrote to a group of Henson's race as follows: "I congratulate you and your race upon Matthew Henson. He has driven home to the world your great adaptability and the fiber of which you are made. He has added to the moral stature of every man among world His greatest hard earned reward." ```markdown ``` William H.

YOU CAN GET IT FROM DEALERS EVERYWHERE WOMAN'S WORLD SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1928 WOM SUGGESTIONS FOR B MINTS—THE KITCH Advice To Girls BY NAOMI ATTENTION, GIRLS: In this column each week, Nami will help you with your problems. Questions on conduct, custom, dress, and grooming are answered and will be carefully considered and answered. Write your questions in ink on one side of the paper and bring them to Nami at Norfolk Journal and Guide, 711 O'Falloy Road. Dear Naomi: I am a married-woman 18 years of age. I got married before I finished school; I was 14 years old, but I thought I loved my husband. I was a dutiful wife to him. I stayed home all the time since he did not want me to go any where at all or have any girls to come to see me. He went when he wanted to go and some time he stayed all night. He was never any pleasure to me. I wanted a home and children so I adopted a little girl and I love her. I thought he would be better but he only got worst. Miss Naomi, I have some one I really love, don't know whether he loves me as much as I do him, but I think of him all the time. He is in every way gentleman; he always tells the right thing to do. Please tell me whether I should leave my husband or not for I love this other man and I cannot be true to both. My husband was drunk and hit me without cause. Heartbroken. Dear Heartbroken: I am sure you think you are heartbroken now because four years ago you were not able to listen to reason. A child of fourteen getting married and now at the end of four years seeking information how to get rid of this husband and get on with the new one! I am glad to hear you say he is a gentleman or I am sure you would have been in trouble ere that is unfortunate that you think your husband do you do but I am sure your duty lies right there in the path before you. Stay there and try to win him over. You said I thought you loved him when you married him and now you think you love some one else. How young will it be before you think you love another? The trouble is you are too young to know you lovrhdie young to know what you want. You wanted a home and a family at fourteen, a worthy desire, but you only could buy yourself. You were only child yourself. You married your husband for better or worse and it is your duty to try and correct mistakes. If after a good long trial to help him overcome his bad habits, you then find you cannot succeed, why that will be time enough to make other plans. Deazest Naomi: Dear Naomi, I am young girl of 20, short, dark weight 129 lbs. I am living with a very nice family of white people and they seem very much interested in me and I feel very much at home with them, but this is what I want to say. I don't give a rap about the fellows and I don't have very many and those I do come in contact with, I am attraid they do not mean me any good. Am I right or wrong? Some days I feel blue and feel that every one is trying to snub me, but constant prayer has helped me over that feeling. Naomi, I am a lover of music and I am studying the violin with which I am very much pleased and I want to know if you think that I will be a good violinist and also a great credit to my race. Or do you think I am spending my money in vain? B. L. Dear B. L: My dear, I am glad to hear you say that you try to pray away that feeling of blueness that comes over you, for I am sure that every one you meet is not trying to snub you for the world is filled with people who are working to earn an honest living, so just where do you differ from the others. The ones to feel bad are those who are living with no visible means of support. Do not feel that all the boys you meet do not mean you well because I am sure that is not true. There are plenty of good men in the world, they are not all bad. Some day you will meet the right one. I think it a very wonderful thing that you desire to increase your talent on the violin and I wish you luck. It is too much for me to say you are wasting your time and money, as only a master of the violin could tell you that. But persevere and follow the instructions of your teacher and I am sure you will do well and when you have won your laurels then my dear, your race will arise and greet you. Dear Naomi: I am a girl of 16 years of age. I am in the third year high school. Mine too is a love problem and I thought I would write to you for advice. I have been going with a certain boy for eight months. He is also in the third year. During this period of time I have learned to love him dearly. We have had several quarrels but we always made up. He was around and made up two. Sundays ago, and while he was there two other boys came to my home that he knew very well, and this made him angry. The other boys did not stay very long and after they left, he began to cross question me about them. Everything I said to him just made matters worse, so he went away angry. I have seen him since then and he promised to come around but I was disappointed. And now Naomi he has gone to New York for the summer. One of his friends told me a lot of junk he said about me. I don't know whether he said it or not, but it really hurt me. When he went away before he wrote to me, he didn't know whether he still write this time or not, also have his picture. Would you return it? Should I write to him to the same address where he was before? If he comes back should I notice or ignore him? Dear Naomi, please don't tell me to give him up because it is impossible. I love him too well, to even think of giving him up to anybody else. I will do anything in my power to win him back. I have gangs of boy friends, but this one I love and I don't think I can do without him. Now be yourself Naomi, and tell me how to win him back because I am a heartbroken girl. Dear O. A. R.: It was too bad that everything you said made the young man angry and it is wrong for him to be all that jealous of a girl as young as yourself, for you are entirely too young to give all your time to one boy. My advice is to give some of your time to the other boys and not be so worried about a boy who has gone away and not written to you. Now pray for him, take his picture just because you have not heard from him as yet? Maybe he will write later. Give him time. And please do not say you will do anything in your power to win him back, because if he wants you he will come back and that is no joke. No, I would not write to him before he writes to me. It was not wrong for the other boys to be there and so if you go writing to him and begging him to return when you have done no wrong he will make you keep it up down the years. HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER, Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking Powder Co. EDUCATING THE TASTE OF FINICKY FOLKS Finicky folks dislike many foods, and these, as a rule are the ones which they should eat. It seems as though some people are born finicky, while for others the cause may be due to ill health; then some people possibly may be stubborn and will not eat what is set before them. Whatever the cause, such people should use a little will power and use to like all dishes. Frankly, they imagine certain food give them indigestion, and therefore do not eat them. As a rule vegetables top the list of food prejudices; carrots, beets, onions, cabbage and spinach are a few vegetables which are so healthful, yet you will find them often refused by this group of particular food choppers. In many instances when a member of your family refuses to eat a certain vegetable, it is due to the preparation. Foods which have such characteristic tastes or odors require both careful cooking and seasoning. Who wouldn't refuse to eat plain boiled vegetables cooked in a large amount of water day in and day out. Often it is difficult to persuade young people (girls especially) from the age of 12 to 16 years to eat foods which are good for them. They will insist upon eating of possibly one kind of food, from which they receive very little nourishment. Many become anaemic at this age and to require foods rich in iron, encourage them at all times to eat plenty of fresh raw fruits. Raw vegetables too, such as apple slaw, or carrot salad are valuable for the vitamins which they contain. Try and prevent such a child from cating between meals, and above all things don't give them too many sweets. Sweets of all kinds have a tendency to decaden hunger. The carrot is one of the most disliked vegetables served, and yet, if properly prepared is appetizing. For instance, carrots diced and creamed with peas have been demixed mostly because of lack of seasoning, and thick chick sauce, because the dish itself has been served too often. Another vegetable which you may find finicky folks do not like is cabbage. The majority who do not eat cabbage are those who have eaten it only boiled, or made cornbelt. Let them try it, creamed, fried, sweet and in a delicious salad, and they undoubtedly would change their mind. One can learn to eat anything even though the above as well as onions, beets and spinach have never appealed. Each have their place in the menu and add a great deal to a meal. MEALS FOR THE BUSINESS WOMAN The business-woman's meals are very important, since her health depends upon them, also upon the balance maintained in the menu. Beauty Chats Edited by Mme. R. Credit-Ole School of Beauty Culture. 4707 Cahua Road, Beijing. A stamped self-addressed envelope to above address for a personal reply. Bobbed hair is perhaps one of the strongest evidences that women dress for the admiration of other women, rather than to please men. For years the fashion has persisted, and though at first the extreme bob, received the severest criticism from the men, the women continued to adopt it, until at this writing many women are completely shone of their hair, in fact, from the neck up, a large percentage ove Dame "Fashion, a wicked little thing, always plays such pranks upon us humans; as soon, as she gets us to adopt an extreme in any mode, she demands a right about style. Happily so, in this hair mode. We are no longer feminine, with boy-boys; all the beauty and softness is removed from the face when the hair is boy, or Pajonia cut. There is no question that the bob, renders a youthful grace, when cut at such becomingness as to leave sufficient hair to drape the face. Gradually there are appearing more and more adherents of the fashion for hair that is just a little longer than the bob—just long enough in fact so that the hair can be tucked down and bring the hair closely to the head, outlining the shape of the head; like bobbed hair, needs close attention, regularity of cutting, so that it the proper length, and thinness, keeping the sides a bit longer than the back. Like truly long hair it gives that effect of gracious femininity which, after all, is a woman's most fundamental gift of charm. Usually too the hair is waved in large natural looking undulations that are drawn just the least bit to the sides as the hair is turned under at the back. A style of simplicity, the softness of which prohibits it from being an unbecoming severity. Ella—The woman who would be beautiful cannot accomplish this at the expense of sleep. A generous amount of undisturbed sleep is an absolute essential, and the lack of it is registered in the eyes, and the lining of the face. Do not carry the perplexities of the day to your bedside; absolutely relax, lay the body prone upon the bed, think of your thoughts, and slumber will follow. If it is insomnia, go at once a physician, so that you can sneedily overcome it. Corn—A coat of tan, is not to be desipped, it does much toward the aiding of the bleaching for a whiter skin in the winter. If you are sensitive about the powder, and when you return into the home, remove every vistage of makeup, and ruf fresh lemon juice into the skin. Women's Topics Of Conversation What Do Women Talk About? An anonymous contributor to the Woman's Home Companion, talked with one hundred and twelve women in an effort to find out. "Of these," she writes, "all the mothers, whose number was eighty, talked of their children; their development physically and mentally, dress, food, habits, pranks and methods of rearing. Friend husband followed next, being closely pushed for honors, however, by local gossip. Involved in the discussions about husbands and local gossip were divorce and home conditions. Football, college activities and studies were mentioned by over forty. This high percentage may be accounted for by the number of college girls whom I conversed with. Over thirty talked of social activities while above twenty mentioned the high cost of living, eighteen talked of styles, this included bobbed hair, ten; religion, ten; books, art, music, each nine; magazine articles, six; civic pride, five; interior decoration, four; drama and grief; two-radio, one and radio, one. President Coolidge, "Ma" Ferguson, politics in any way, or probation, were not mentioned, law enforcement discussed was the breaking of traffic laws." "TO SORTEN THE TONE OF THE TALKING MACHINE The raspy sound in any talking machine will at once disappear and a mellow sweet tone take its place if to the little wire on the reproducer is added a simple device. Cut a medium-soft penel eraser into a half inch cube and on one side make a slit so that when slipped on to the metal strip already mentioned it will hold well. Slip it on, that's all, and then play a record to see what a change it has made. Dinner in the evening is the important meal, her breakfast being light and her noon lunch eaten wherever she happens to be working. Therefore the dinner being the one heavy meal, time should be spent in planning it, so as to have it just as nourishing and appetizing as possible, at the same time, selecting dishes easily prepared. Variety is not so important (although it is well to observe) as the few foods well prepared, are better than many undercooked.

Lawyer Who Once Lived Here Wins Cases Out West News comes to this city telling of the apparent success of Attorney E. Louis Moore, of Indianapolis, who lived in this city for two or three years and later in Suffolk, becoming quite well-known in this section. Mr. Moore married a prominent young woman of Suffolk last year and with her moved to Indianapolis, where he is engaged in the practice of his profession. He has recently appeared in some quite important cases in that city, one of more than ordinary interest being a damage suit brought against Dr. Egbert S. Dickerson, by the estate of Mrs. Lena Bell charging malpractice. Damages asked amounts to $20,000. Mr. Moore is counsel for the plaintiff. He recently secured a stay of execution until December in the case of a youth sentenced to death in order that time might be had to complete the necessary formalities for an appeal to the Supreme Court.

Reports from New York City have reached here stating that William A. Traynham, who formerly operated a gasoline filling station on Chapel street, near Washington avenue, has been awarded 140 months' scholarship at $100 a month for the study of teaching methods in cabinet making and woodworking at the Normal School in Buffalo by the New York State Board of Education. Wins In Examination Wins in Examination Trainyham entered a competitive examination for the scholarship which was open to men who had five years of education in some craft. He entered the U.S. Government Technical School in Norfolk 1908, presumably at the Navy Yard. Before that he had a grammar school education, and two years of high school training, he was in the Government shops for five years, receiving a certificate of craftsmanship in cabinet making which he finished. For seven years he worked in the shops. In the school," he says, "we had regular hours for the theoretical work, and then we were sent into shops for a certain number of hours. In the shops we worked with the master cabinet makers in the construction of furniture for naval ships." "You see, the government," he added, "makes all of the furniture for ships. All the fine furniture for the officers quarters is made in Norfolk, and that is the sort of work." "I was," he said.

Judge Kisses Aged Colored Nurse (By Associated Negro Press) Media, Pa. July—When John M. Broomall, 3rd, took the oath of office as a judge of the Common Pleas Court here Thursday, his colored nurse, Mrs. Margaret O. Hilton, of Cambridge, Mass., was the first to greet him. Judge Broomall, who stands over six feet and is massively built, bent over the aged woman and gave her a kiss who echoked in the Court. Tears streamed down the Judge's face as his old nurse leftover him saying: "God bless you my boy, and make you a great Judge." Mrs. Margaret O. Hilton, who is 85 years old, and reputed to be wealthy had nursed Judged Broomall from the day he was born until he was si xyears old. Later she went to Cambridge, opening a children's home, which was later turned over to her by the Massachusetts State government. Mrs. Hilton is a widow. Her husband, Charles Hilton, was a grandson of the personal valet of George Washington, it is said. Marco Poreci Cato, who wrote Marco C. C, was a firm admirer of Augustus.

C., for the ten days, from June 22 to July 2, was very much enjoyed by the nine delegates who were sent to represent Norfolk. we left Norfolk Monday June 21, and returned that day, N. C. Here we had an hour and a half lay over, during which time my brother, the Rev. Mr. John Riley Dungee entertained us by showing us a little of the city. At 10:30 n, m., we returned to the train and continued our journey to King's Mountain. We arrived on the campus at noon, June 22. We were shown our rooms as soon as we arrived. We were at dawn to do as we pleased most of the day as we arrived, had lodges not arrived. We observed dinner hour which was 1:00 o'clock, quiet hour from 2:30 to 3:30, supper at 6:00 and an evening program from 8:00 to 9:00 p. m., in the New Assembly. Here we had an introduction of the leaders, secretaries and club advisers of the conference by our National Secretary, Miss Crystal Bird. We were given a schedule that night, for the following nine days, which was as follows: Rising bell-6:30. Setting up exercises, which merely consisted of ordinary physical culture, from 7:15 to 7:30. Breakfast-7:30 to 8:50. Flag Honoring, which consisted of saluting the flag and singing one verse of a patriotic song. Flag Honoring was from 8:55 to 9:00. Morning Assembly, from 9:10 to 9:40, consisted of a series of biblical addresses given by the Rev. Mr. Johns, of Lynchburg, Va. His addresses were preceded by a few Girl Reserve Songs. Group Discussion Meetings were held from 9:45 to 10:45. In these meetings, our main subject was: Belonging to the Great Human Family with sub topics which were into sub topics which were as follows: 1-Work; 2-Fun and good time; 3-Friendships: (a) -Friendship with girls; (b) -Friendship with boys. (a) -Harm in social dancing; (b) -Harm in kissing. (Any body caring to find out the harm in these faults, may do so through personal letters to me.) These subjects being just what most girls talk about, especially during their adolescent period, caused us to have exceedingly live discussions. From 10:45 to 11:45 the girls had recreation, while the adults had their council hour. Between 11:45 and 12:45 the girls had their council hour, in which we discussed the things that will improve our clubs. At 1:00 o'clock we had dinner, during which time we took turns yelling and singing our songs. We were free then until 2:00 o'clock which was the beginning of quiet hour. It lasted until 3:00, but was later changed from 2:30 to 3:00. At 6:00 we had supper. From On Terms to suit you. Begin now and be a Poet. Be taught in class classes by instructor.

For instance, one night we had a mock installation service, another, folk dances, and another, we were entertained by the recreational committee. At 10:00 p. m., the lights were out. BURKE AND HAVE W DINI On July 1, every meeting, which brought us nearer to the close of the conference, made most of us loss our appetites, because we hated the thoughts of losing our new friends and good times. We had Candle Light services that night and only a very few could restrain from allowing a sob or two to escape their lips. Especially when Miss Bird announced that she was resigning to take up music. Every one feels that she has been greatly benefitted by the conference and we have a stranger desire and determination to improve our lives and clubs by living more strictly up to our code. "WASHINGTONIAN" BEING CIRCULATED "The Washingtonian," the 1920 Annual of the Senior Class of Booker T.

It is a most excellent work, comparing most favorably with any tion of its kind by any high school. The editorial context of a particular and exchions being arranged and brought out which shows both the best printer's art and editorial arrangement. There is a plenty in the book to entertain not only the members of the class and students of the school, but even those whose school days have long passed.

It will serve as a treasured memento to the Senior Class of 1926 and its friends. Messrs. Poole, Archer and Miss Lawrence, Prof. Reynolds, the principal, particularly are to be commended for their attention to detail in producing this book.

C., according to announcement made in the Capitol last week. The dining room of the hotel is being thoroughly renovated. New paint and artistic furnishings will greet the eye of the patrons when the dining rooms are formally opened to the public. This will be as much as the refurbishings are completed. Burke and Brown go to Washington with 19 years of experience in dining room management, and with a keen knowledge of what the public desires, and it is already stated that they will be assured of the patronage of the people of that city who like good food, palatably cooked and properly served. The reputation of the Whiteclaw Hotel extends from coast to coast. Few people have visited Washington without either stopping at this hostelry or in some way becoming acquainted with it. For some time, however, the dining room has been closed, much to the inconvenience of the guests. This is changed now, and meals are being served regularly with a special dinner on Sunday. 122 Years Old Woman Dies (By The Associated Press Press) Gettysburg, Pa.

Starting the week, as the International Limited, which runs from Montreal to Chicago, via Toronto, and Detroit, passed through New York, moved and replaced with white servitors, resulting in numerous colored men being thrown out of employment. The drastic order was without warning, for sometime ago, Sir Henry Thornton, president, and general manager of the Canadian Government Railways in an address said 'Canada wants no color problem, and colored people should be discouraged from migrating here.' The order emanating from the Dining Car Superintendent's Office declares that 'the colored waiter does not give satisfactory service and is generally inefficient. However, our company of the time wanted to form a uniform until the colored waiters attempted to confer with their supervisors in regard to equal wages with white waiters on other lines.

Southern Daily Birmingham Daily Sees Interracial Commission A Great Influence For Interracial Peace In Southland. from the (Birmingham Aln. News, June 3, 1926) The Commission on Interracial Co-operation has pointed America the way of approach to the Negro question which, if followed, cannot fail to result in better understanding and a more real and sincere tolerance between the races. Long since there has passed out of the minds of thoughtful Southeners that feeling of timidity and that false modesty at which first caused the South to look on the Commission on Interracial Cooperation on an organization treading on dangerous ground; as a body of altruists seeking to perform the impossible; as a group of short-haired women and long-haired men with impractical theories that would stir up unrest rather than prevent it, and lead to end of fruitless discussion. But if we were to read and read that eminent and really Negro, Dr. Booker T. Washington, pledged to his Southern mothers during his lifetime, suspicions may have been laid that the interracial movement in a dangerous thing are dissipated. Dr. Washington said in part, addressing white Southerners: "As we have proved our loyalty to you in the past, in nursing your children, watching by the sick-bed of your mothers and fathers, and often following them to their graves, so in the future we shall stand by you with a devotion that no foreigner on approach, ready to lay down our lives, if need be, in defense of ours, interlacing our industrial, commercial, civil and religious life with yours. in a way that shall make the interests of both races use. In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fathers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress." It is to the credit of the comment that it has published similar exceptions from the utterances of great-hearted, rational, calm-minded thinkers, both Whites and Negroes, ranging themselves on the side of tolerance, open-mindedness, compassion, justice, and mercy and understanding. Among these is a fine declaration by Henry W. Grady, that mutiless Georgian, who was ever ready to demand fair-play for the lowly and the oppressed. Years, ago, before Booker T. Washington had established the Tuskegee school, but as if in answer to the prayer he would day utter, Henry W. Grady write this for The Atlanta Constitution: "Let us give the Negro his uttermost rights, and measure out justice to him in that fulness the strong should always give the peak. Let us educate him that he may be a better, a broader and more enlightened man. . . And let us remember this—that whatever wrong we put on him shall return to punish us. Whatever we take from him in violence, that is unearthy and shall not endure. . . But that we win from him in sympathy and affection, what we gain in its confining alliance and confirm in his awakening judgment, that is precious and shall endure—and out of it shall come healing and peace." But interacial co-operation has passed beyond the experimental stage. Its discussion and practicality are regarded favorably not merely by practical Christians and technologists, but by all level-headed citizens as a matter of practical business, social and economic common sense. Great corporations such as the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad company realize through practice that fair treatment of the Negro through clean and decent housing makes him a better citizen and a better worker and means for him better health and a right and loyal frame of mind. Because Negroes, being human beings, respond exactly to kind and kind treatment as their white neighbors are supposed to respond. Such pleasant reflections along the line of justice and fairness are written and commonplace that they seem to be stupidly inane, but let if the South had exercised mercy, and if the Negroes had invariably received a faithful answer in our court of justice, and if they never been enjoined and charged exorbitantly high, rentals for the hovels they inhabit, probably no Southern city had no pleasant and fruitful farm worked by Negroes ever would be suffered from the exodus of thousands of Negroes to climates in which they were totally untrained by training and heredity. Probably there would never have an exodus of any importance, our guarantee to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness had been fulfilled although this exodus doubtless been hastened by secession organizations whose violent action whether directed against so-called "black race," has caused the seeing of fear and insecurity amongst our black neighbors. our black neighbors. light begins to apnear od to Spring racial Plan, hern Daily Thanks to these courageous women and women at the head of the Interracial Commission, with headquarters at Atlanta, the hopes and aims of enlightened Southerners have been set to practical working. Many conferences have been held for joint discussions of problems which formerly were regarded as delicate for round-task consideration: The matter of better housing, better schools, better conditions, labor, safer and more healthful means of ventilation in shops and factories, and so forth. "How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world." The plan of interracial adjustment has even spread to Africa, whence came the ancestors of these Negrd neighbors of ours. According to visitors to 'South Africa, committees patterned after the interracial plan adopted by Southern states are serving in Johannesburg, Capetown, Marianne Hill, Durban, Pietermaritzburg and other centers. These committees meet monthly and seek to influence public opinion and legislation in the interest of needed adjustments. And what is being done here at home? Committees have been set up in every Southern state and in 800 counties. In many communities their efforts have been notably successful. Assistance has been rendered in hundreds of educational enterprises for Negroes including millions of dollars: health campaigns have been promoted in every state, hospitals and tuberculosis camps established, clinics opened to colored children, public nurses employed; lynchings have been prevented, and in a few cases members of lynching mobs have been prosecuted and sent to the penitentiary; legal aid has been extended to Negroes in scores of cases in which they were intimidated, persecuted or exploited; sewers, street paving, lights, libraries, rest rooms, and other civic advantages have been secured for Negro communities; parks, playgrounds, pools and other provisions for recreation have been established; Negro officers agencies have been included in community chests; day nurseries and social centers have been conducted; colored probation officers secured—these are among a multitude of actual results achieved. These gestures of concern for the Negro and in the direction of making life a bit more habitable, a trifle more tolerable in the land of his adoption, are bound to be of infinite value in harmonizing racial relations in the South. ROANOK J. WARREN WHITE THE MURDER OF ROANOKE YOUTH IS A MYSTERY Ranoke, Va., July 14—Hudson Marshall, about 17 years of age, was found at about 1:00 p. m. Monday, July 5, lying near the city quarry in a dying condition. It appeared from the state which he was found that he had been there all night. His skull was fractured, arms and legs broken. The rest of youth was rushed to Burrell Memorial Hospital, where he expired shortly after. ter afternoon. It is stated that Marshall had been given a sum of money by one of his sisters to come where she was, and he was planning to leave during the week. He had also planned it, is said, to enjoy Monday at Yellow Sulphur Springs, went off Sunday afternoon and was not seen again until found Monday, near death. Mackenzie "Mitchell, a companion of Marshall was arrested Tuesday afternoon for investigation.

This will fill a long felt need in this city as very few of our Race have been able to qualify as administrators of estates or guardians, or committees, etc., on account of the almost invariable rule of being required to furnish surety by some approved bonding company, where the amount involved has been of any size. In many instances where this has been done a stipulation made by the representatives locally has been that all cash funds would be deposited in a bank of their choosing and never in a case of this kind has a Race institution chosen. The management of the new trust company remains the same, with the cashier assuming also the duties of trust officer. On June 30 an additional $5,000 was added to the surplus of the institution making it now $10,000. A dividend of 8 per cent amounting to $4,000, was also disbursed to its stockholders on July 1. Child Loses Its Life In Unusual Manner (Preston News Service) Kinston, July 15—An annual accident was reported late Monday when a car driven by M. T. Stone, middle-aged man from Dover, met another on the mall near Gawell street bridge and Stone's machine in the vicinity, who was standing beside the north rail of the bridge waiting for the autos to pass. An infant in the woman's arm hurtled into the water many feet below and disappeared. The baby was thrown in water only two of the feet deep toward the Happerville end of the bridge. Divers sought the body but were unable to locate it. Stone told authorities his version of the incident. Coroner Farley Garner said the woman claimed the baby was knocked out of his arms by the car. The baby was the child of Anna McGhee's daughter. The police required no bail for Stone but ordered him to return-for-an investigation. Mrs. McGhee was said to have been injured, probably not seriously. Several persons were with Stone in the automobile.

Addres Political Freedom Is Stressed In N.A.A.C. P. Address to Country Chicago, Ill.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public the address to the American people, adopted at the 17th Annual Conference in Chicago. The address states that the problem of residential segregation is the foremost issue affecting race relations, denounces segregation of colored employees in the government departments in Washington, urges complete independence of party allegiance on the part of colored voters, and urges that white labor recognize its community of interest with colored labor. The address in full is as follows: The pressing problem before us this year is that of residential segregation. There is widespread determination to enforce a ghetto in the United States in spite of the clear letter of the law. We have been fighting this tendency for years and despite the temporary delay involved in the latest decision of the Supreme Court we are already continuing this fight. The court has not yet passed upon the essential point and that is as to whether it is good public policy in a great democracy to divide and classify people according to race and gender to belive segregation is a fundamental fight for democracy among all people in this country. For a long time certain states of the United States have defied democratic government in this land. They form an oligarchy where the political power is held by a small minority of the qualified voters and by a minority which does not represent the best intelligence of their own section. This condition has been permitted by the silent acquiescence of the North and by a series of evasive and unconstitutional laws and practices. The most outrageous of these laws were the so-called "binding" laws by the cooperation of this Association these laws were finally declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. There still remain however the laws and customs which support the White Primary. The White Primary is an attempt to substitute a single political party for the whole state and local government and to allow that party to base its membership upon purely racial CERN OF ITS KIN Repair NIELLE Proprietor N OF ITS KIND IN AMERICA pair and No PAWO VIRGINIA CAROLINA NEWS EDITORIAL PAGE lines. Such laws are a plain defiance of the constitution of this government, and this Association pledges itself to keep this matter before the courts until is done. These and many other legal and social battles show the absolute necessity of an adequate Legal Defense Fund to protect the rights of American Negroes. The $75,000 which black folks and their friends gave to defend the cases at Detroit and Washington was a fine and generous gesture. But it was but a small beginning toward our absolute need. We should have one million dollars at least, to make impossible the hitherto easy oppression of American Negroes and the ruthless and unpunished denial of their constitutional rights. We are astonished to note under President Coolidge and the Republican Administration a continuation of that segregation of colored employees in the departments at Washington which was begun under President Wilson. We have repeatedly appealed for redress against this grievance and we appeal again to the sense of decency and honor which should exist at the Capital of the nation and which should save from insult persons who are serving their country in the organized civil service. Republican Senators have defeated again the Dyer Antilynching Bill; only three of the 9 Republican members of the Judiciary Committee and one of the 7 Democrats voted to report the Bill in the face of a series of horrible lynchings in Mississippi, Florida, and elsewhere. The Effective Remedy The Effective Relief There is but one effective reply to such flagrant disregard of our rights and wishes. Our political salvation and social survival lie in our absolute independence of party allegiance in politics and causal trust in vote for our friends against our enemies whoever they may be and whatever party labels they carry. This may at present give us sorry choice between twin evils but eventually and soon there must come in this land such political reform as will give the honest independent voter, black and white, a chance to cast his ballot for law, decency and democracy.

The world has many fountains but by going to this one our souls are made clean and it is a fountain for all. He compared the soul of man with a worm-eaten ship that must be repaired before it can make a trip. The worms that destroy the soul are pride, hatred, anger, envy, malice, and drunkenness. He begged his hearers to wash in this fountain and be made strong and thoroughly alive. Deacon Grant of the First Baptist church, Jeff. availed a fervent prayer, collection, Mrs. G. L. Banks, agent and correspondent, the Norfolk Journal and the University, who had been invited to be present, was asked to present her paper, which she was most pleased to do obtaining a most gratifying result.

MARY ASH Agent and Correspondent NEWS OF INTEREST FROM NORTH CAROLINA TOWNS AND CITIES NEW EQUIPMENT IS PLANNED FOR STATE COLLEGE Institution Completes Its First Year As An "A" Grade College Under State Auxpices. (Dodson News Service) Durham, N. C. July 12—Having closed at most successful school year, the first as a grade A College, Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the North Carolina College this city will spend his vacation working on plans for completely equipping the college with the latest improvements for dormitory and class room necessities. The forty eight graduates of the June class go forth with confidence and ambition to make a place for themselves in the sub nicrofewmmeets in the business and professional world. Staunch friends of the institution North and South have expressed themselves to Dr. Shepard in terms of finance and personal service in order that he may not be too heavily burdened with the problem of raising money to meet expenses. The House B. N. Duce in plenum pleased with Dr. Shepard's conduct of the new college that he expressed his approval in a check for $50,000, to be used in aid of the creation of new buildings soon to be put up on the campus of the school grounds. The North Carolina Times in speaking of Dr. Shepard as an educational leader quotes from the proverbs of Solomon, thus, "seest then a man diligent in his business he shall stand before kings." "Few of us know the experience of Dr. James. Shepard in his ambition to leave a monument of service to mankind. But he has already built-wall and he is not half through. He has just now come up to the point where he can really do a service to humanity. He has spent his past years in a consistent effort to reach this very point at which he now has the joy of attaining. Dr. Shepard has won the confidence of all the people, white and black, and he is able to do the thing that makes him most happy - give service to his fellowman. No broader, kinder-hearted nor more useful man ever lived in the South and the South -white and black are beginning to realize his worth in the solution of problems common to all. Dr. Shepard had no money to start with but he believed that he could make a distinct contribution to the worth of the nation and to the kingdom of God, if he could manage to lead his people into the light of self-hold, education and confidence. "Those who have watched his work know that he has never registered a failure. He has made rapid progress, even more his best friends expressed it in the diligence, his right spirit and mind, his power to see and to understand the future. He now stands out as one of the leading educators of the country—as one of the most useful men of his race in America and a medium of understanding between the races living here together in the South."

C., July 16—Is the American Negro to remain black or become bleached?" is a question interestingly answered by one of the Race's foremost educators, Kelly Miller, of Howard University, in an article appearing in the current issue of the South Atlantic Quarterly, a review published at Duke University. Professor Miller declares that the Negro is becoming bleached, and is losing much of his identity as a black man, which he declares is greatly to regretted. Professor Miller's statements have created no little interest among members of the sociological and biological departments of Duke University, being one of the first men to open the subject in such a clear and scholarly manner. "A careful observation of Negro schools, churches, and other assemblages, in all parts of the country," writes Professor Miller, "convinces the writer that fully three-fourths of the rising generation have noticeable infusion of white blood. One finds about as many children of undiluted gropy type as of the opposite extreme who cannot he easily detected from white. Both extremes, however, are rapidly diminishing in quantity, while the average of color is approaching a medium of color and physical characteristics. "Within the next three or four generations it will be hard to find a pure blooded Negro outside the remote black belts of the rural South. The near whites will have crossed the line or bred backwards on the color scale. A new negro race will have risen. The Howard University dean blames the composite progeny upon the white man, the males of the stranger race taking advantages of the females of the weaker. He says he is primarily responsible for whatever race crossing has already taken place, or that threatens to take place in the future. The Negro woman has been victimized, and the approximation of the races is the result, he says. "Should the white race issue a decree enforcement upon every member of the blood, that there shall be me further intermingling of the races, the process would instantaneously," the writer asserts. "I 600,000 colored persons returned as mulattoes in the census of 1920, and of more than as many with concealed white blood in their veins, the overwhelming majority, especially of the younger generation are offspring of colored fathers and mothers, writes Professor Miller. There is already a large quantity of white blood in Negro veins. This blood tends to diffuse itself equally throughout the whole mass until it shall have assumed an approximate oneness in color and physical likeness. returned from Roper where she attended the Sunday School Convention.

Jones, of Orleans at the Third annual meeting of the World Service Commission in this city recently. He concurred that "if you would so wish, you consent your school to want your fellowship, we want your fellowship, only give it, we pray, in God's name." If you would have us remain Protestant, thoroughly trustful as we are, do not shake our faith by telling us that we are totally different, and now I speak the soul of my people. It may hurt, but you ought to have it. No man God, no man's Bible, no man's Christ appeals to me who same brahms would tell me I am his inferior and not his other. Take me into your neighborhood and I will follow you to the glory." There is little luxury among Negroes he advised, and wherever they can, Negroes are taking up their own load.

A NATION--WIDE A.M.E. CHURCH MISSION DRIVE (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, July 13—The Board of Home and Foreign Mission of the A. M. E. Church at its recent meeting in Newark, N. J., decided to make an effort to stimulate an intensified interest in the great cause of Foreign Missions especially in Africa. Idea is to present the conditions and needs of the foreign field in such a manner as to educate and more deeply impress all than can be reached with the great need and make a forward movement in the cause. "The call from the foreign field," says Dr. Coit, "secretly is 'so great that it thencomes an appeal to all who are interested in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ irrespective of denomination.' "Africa looks to the American Negro because of his racial relationship, his wonderful advancement and opportunities more than to any other source from which help and encouragement would come. It is therefore hoped that all will respond to this call. The campaign is to be carried on by a group of speakers visiting and presenting the cause in church wherever they can get a hearing. The speakers who will take part in this campaign are Bishops Sampson, Brooks and J. A. Gregg, Gaines, Ransom, Carey; General officers of the church, Johnson, Baxter, Caldwell with Solomon on Porter Iood, Mrs. L. M. Hughes, Mrs. Helen Curtis, all under the direction of the Secretary of Mission, E. H. Coit. In the time allotted for the campaign it will not be for bishop and general officers entirely possible to reach all cities but it will be the object to reach all of the larger cities in all section of the country. The team is at present operating in Indiana and Dr. Hood and Dr. Cott are in charge. Illinois and Iowa, Bishop Roots is in charge. Tennessee Arkansas are under the guidance of Bishop Gregg. Miss Hughes and Bishop Gregg are mobilizing in Chicago, July 25th and spending several days in this vicinity. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Barkley Ave.) As a blessing came in the form of a shower just before the morning exercise began casting aside the sultry heat and making it possible to stay inside, so did another blessing come when the choir poured forth sweet songs of Zion. Then they began to multiply as the pastor spoke from the 18th chapter of Joshua on "Sanctification." He showed the many ways sacrifices could be made and that all must confess their sins before they are able to offer a sacrifice to God, and if they would present themselves to Christ. His glory would shine abroad. Holy communion followed which was very impressive. The motto of the church is being upheld in that a soul is saved at each service. Mr. Alston, brother of Rev. Alston made confession and became a candidate for baptism.

ADDRESS (Continued from Page Seven) Particularly is it possible and right for American Negro voters to so cast their ballots as to restain financial imperialism which has thrupted Haiti and threatens Liberia and Central arid South America and which is still using slavery and forced labor to heap up profits in Africa. For several years the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has tried on the one hand to show white labor movement in the United States that it must recognize colored labor, welcome it to union ranks and affirm the unity of all laborers in the great fight for industrial democracy. On the other hand, this organization has sought to impress upon Negro labor its duty to leave no stone unturned in an attempt to cooperate with organized labor and to maintain and advance the standards for which organized labor has so long fought. We are glad to note in the unionization of the Pullman porters a great step toward both these objects. We regret that white union labor is still disappointed laggard in taking effective steps toward organizing black labor. Cultural Movement Cultural movements. There is, without doubt, a cultural movement still shaping American Negroes and Negrograss which is of deep significance. It is a renaissance of that ancient feeling of men of black blood for beauty in music, in sculpture and in expression which the world forget during slavery and the slave trade. As it begins to blossom again in the new generation of American Negroes it calls for every encouragement. This Association is glad that their Spirgurn Model, the Crisis magazine, the prizes for literature and art, and encouragement of public meetings and private exhortation, it has been able to do much in the past to make this renaissance possible. The Association calls for the widest cooperation among persons and organizations to forward the movement and courage art and literature, and above all, to make possible thru universal education in adequate公共 in better high schools and in wider college facilities, the development of the great talent which lies in our race. The Conference also passed resolutions淋到 the city of Chicago for the "fine hospitality" shown the Association.

We protect your Health with our Sanitary Equip- ment. Everything we use is Sterilized. Editorial Page of Where you start doesn't matter. It is what you start. The main trouble with the girl of today is she refuses to act like the girl of yesterday. Most of these men longing for the good old days, kick when they wait 10 minutes for a car. It is officially reported that deafness is increasing. The information may have come from people who had heard that money talks. We were all apprehensive that we should not get one of our group to be President of Howard University when Bishop John A. Gregg declined to serve after being elected, as he had declined to be considered for the position before his election. He is dedicated to the work of a bishop and he promised his people in Africa that he would return to them. Such a man is a very great credit to his church denomination and to his race. May his tribe increase. The trustees prompt met and elected Rev. Mordecki Johnson, D. D., a Baptist pastor of Charleston, W. Va., a man in every way qualified, to be President. He is a ripe scholar and teacher and an orator of much repute. We are sure the Afro-American press will give its best endeavors towards helping Dr. Johnson make a success of his high and responsible position. As the first man of the race to occupy the position we all hope that he will make a great success of it and thus make it easier to secure a race man as his successor and help us in securing the presidency of other race schools of higher learning where of late years there has been much discontent with the white presidents, who are swayed too much by the local white prejudices against which the race must always contend. Another college professor has just taken a wicked crack at slang. Dr. William Allan Neilson, president of Smith College, tells the world that the use of the unauthorized word and phrase, of which Americans are so fond, is the bunk. But there are those who think that slang is the insect's eyebrows. It is as silly, they hold, to compel our speech within the limits of Johnsonion English as it would be to insist that modern dances conform to the rules of the Spanish fandango. Yet the fandango and the English language were imported here at approximately the same time. Usage is stronger than dictionaryes and purists. All the world now goes to the "movies." There was a word that fit. It was adopted. That's all there is to it. Language would die without growth. And new words almost always are first classed as slang unless they are mere combinations of Greek syllables such as the chemists coin. Most of our slang isn't new. It's the new slang that gives a word an additional shade of meaning. There is a difference between slang and poor English. We should not fall into ignorant mistakes of the use of words. But slang—why, prof, slang is to the village shok what a powder 'puff' is to the flapper. In the death of Ambrose E. Gonzales, publisher of The State (Columbia, S. C.) who passed away early Sunday morning after 69 years of earnest labors, the South lost one of its truest friends. In the newspaper world of today publishers of the Gonzales stamp are rare. With his late brother, N. G. Gonzales, 35 years ago he founded The State. They dedicated it to the service of humanity, and during its existence it has ever striven to live up to that high resolve. The influence from the great good that Ambrose E. Gonzales accomplished in his life time surpasses the confines of states and sections, creeds and yet in the main, his great talents and inexhaustible energy were expended for the upbuilding of the South and South Carolina. For the unchampioned right, Mr. Gonzales was a champion according to his convictions which were seldom wrong; for the defenseless he was a defender and he knew not how to compromise with unrighteousness regardless of how meek and lowly its victim. Thousands of disadvantaged Ncrogs and whites of the coastal plains of the South benefited by his readiness to strike for justice for all. Mr. Gonzales lived close to the South's racial problems. He understood them as well as any white man living and he always approached them with a spirit of helpfulness. The editorial columns of his newspaper never added weight to the burden of the oppressed, but, always when the occasion demanded it, struck at injustices with unceasing, telling blows. Journalism is the poorer through the death of Ambrose F. Gonzales. The New President of Howard Saying It In Slang Ambrose Elliott Gonzales The Race Will Make Its Own Social Place It is quite remarkable how much attention newspaper, magazine and book writers give to the Afro-American and his problems. There must be more at the bottom of it than appaars upon the surface, simply because the problems with which our group has to deal are of the same character as those with which other race groups of the population have to deal, and there are said to be some fifty-seven race groups in the Greater New York district alone. The problems which confront all of them are much the same; that is, how to make for themselves and their affiliates of family and what not the best possible social position, how to get the most out of their civil "privileges and immunities," and how to make the most of their economic opportunities and to multiply the opportunities they now enjoy. That is all there is to it, whatever race group the citizens may belong to. The social position of the Afro-American people absorbs more of the thought and time of the wise ones than the civil and economic problems; and this is funny, as a person's social standing is fixed for the most part by his civil and economic standing. The Jews have a social standing of their own, mostly among themselves, because they desire it to be that way, but their civil and economic standing is such as to command respect for them socially, and the rich and titled Jews of the Americas and Europe have a certain entry into the most exclusive society without any fear or expectation that intermarriages between the races will be the outcome of it, largely because the Jews do not marry as a rule outside their own race. But the Jews have social graduations even among themselves, as other American race groups have. Socially there is no equality among them or any other racial group. There is no more social equality among the Southern whites than there is among the Southern Negroes, for example, they draw social lines in their own racial groups. They have to, for the good and the bad will not readily mix or be stood for by the good. A writer in the Current History magazine sometime ago, talking about the hardships which the Southern migrants had to endure in the North and Wert, said, among other things, that "they found that the color line was also drawn in Northern society. What solution will be made of the social problem of the Negro remains for a future generation of the American people." There is something of the alarmist viewpoint in this reduction of the question to an absurdity, and many of our own writers of late have been harping on the same string, with a great many sneers and jitters at the "Negro who wants to be white and apes white folks." As a matter of fact the aping business is mutual and all that. We are sure they are born of the imagination of those who in politics, religion and literature make a living and some reputation by keeping alive and enlarging upon the supposed existence of them. The Afro-American will make his own social position, as the Jew has made his, and there will be many race colors in the warp and woof of it, as there will be in all of the groups perfected in the American type. Growth of Religious and Racial Tolerance The Salvation Army's disend of the term "heathen" for the milder and less offensive word "non-Christian" in designating peoples holding other beliefs is in accord with tolerant Christianity. Time was when all who differed in religious belief were dogs of infidels or heathens. The Christian was a dog of an infidel to the Mohammedan and the Mohammedan was a dog of the same stripe to the Christian and peoples of other religions were heathens to both. But with the spread of intelligence thru out the world an increase of fellowship among those different in race and creed has brought increase of tolerance. In recent years the Christian nations have many times proved friends in need to "heathens" and "heathens" have reciprocated. The time for harsh designations based on difference of religious belief and race has passed, and a good riddance it is. But in spite of the many hopeful and splendid auguries we have on every hand in the South that the will toward cooperation and Christian understanding between the races is on the increase, and that those who, through ignorance or malice stand as impediments to the inevitable consummation of a genuine spirit of interracial friendliness and unity are dwindling to a minority, it is still necessary that certain elements of people in this section be reminded to appreciate the fact that the use of the terms "nigger" and "darkey" in reference to Negroes is resented by the latter as an uncalled for insult to the members of this race group. Not every person who glibly applies these offensive designations to Negroes actually means to insult the race. In many instances the terms are used without the slightest regard for their effect by people whose own refinement has not reached an acuteness where it readily regards the sensibilities in others of a different race. The terms are often used by white people of education and standing who have so encased their own souls in a callous sheathing of self-superiority that it renders them incapable of attaining to a fullness of spirit which would enable them to appreciate the sensibilities of persons of a different race. Increased education and training have brought to the Negro a quickened spirit of self-respect and a sense of refinement which make him cognizant of every attempt to stigmatize his race. He knows that the terms "nigger" and "darkey" had their origin in a psychological atmosphere which held him on par with the brutes, and that Norfolk Journal and Guide the term "nengest" came into existence as a comparative with tigress and lioness. As culture expands in the South, however, we may expect to witness the continued decline in the use of these harsh race designations. No really cultured person will deliberately insult the sensibilities of another person regardless of the lowliness of caste or position of the latter. White people may not know it, but it is nevertheless a fact, that whenever a colored person of intelligence hears a white person use the words "nigger" or "darkey" that colored person at once concludes that the user of these terms is of a dross character, even if educated. Just recently during the progress of a quite sensational murder trial in a local court the attorney for the defense repeatedly applied these offensive terms to colored people. We want able counsel when in trouble, it is true, but is it not possible for us to have it without paying our money to lawyers who have no regard for the feelings of members of our race? Fortunately, there are able white lawyers in our own city who do not find it necessary to refer to our kin and neighbors as "niggers" and "darkies" in the conduct of our cases. Then again, moving toward interracial goodwill, the small "n" in the word "Negro" must give way. It is noticeable, however, that this offensive practice which never has had any justification in grammar is yielding to the manly spirit of editors of the newer type both North and South. A number of newspapers no longer countenance the corrupting of the English language in their news or editorial columns by the spelling of the word "Negro" with a little "n" merely to perpetuate a tradition born of race prejudice. Yes, the time for harsh designations based on difference in religious belief and racial types has passed, and the new signs of the times strike a most hopeful note that the South is playing a considerable part in the riddance. It was on a southbound train. A portly brother sat just across the aisle. He was about middle aged, his coat lapel decorated with fraternal emblems, his incessant tulkiveness well interspersed with quotations from scripture. Just behind him were two young misses neither of whom appeared to be more than twenty. The three boarded the train at the same station and seemed to know eachother. Evidently, however, he had not been closely associated with either of them in the town about middle aged, his coat lapel decorated with fraternal emblems, his inscessant talkativeness well interspersed with quotations from scripture. Just behind him were two young misses neither of whom appeared to be more than twenty. The three boarded the train at the same station and seemed to know eachother. Evidently, however, he had not been closely associated with either of them in the town of their residence. He had many questions to ask concerning their destination, their church membership, where they went to school, whether they were keeping company yet, etc. At first he was positively funny. I am sure the whole Jim Crow coach was amused, including the conductor and the news butcher. His mind ran to such broad and droll pleasantries as characterize what the Southern white man likes to call the "old time Negro." No matter what he discussed, the weather, present styles in women's clothes, the small towns at which we stopped, the ever present notices at stations that whites and blacks were supposed to have no dealings with each other—whatever his fancy impelled him to describe, out of it he unfailingly wring a smile, frequently an outright laugh. But suddenly, his countenance changed. Instead of sitting sidewise and carrying on his running conversation with the young misses seated behind him as hitherto, he rose and testing his knees on his seat he leaned over so as to be able to look one of the girls squarely in the eye. At the same time he lowered his voice, spoke softly to her and occasionally gave her a slap on the knee. Soon he was leering at her lustfully like any libertine, all the while repeating the words which evidently he thought warranted her permission of almost anything, "Me and your daddy was old play-boys together even befo' you was hawn." Her smiling brown face hardened. Her full, dark eyes grew defiant. They flashed. "Here," she said right out loud so that everybody overheard, "behave yourself." "Oh," said he. "I was just playing," said she, "I don't want any such playing." Slowly and with the look of a beaten school boy he slunk back into his seat. A strange silence swept over the whole car. Each one was left to his books, his papers and his thoughts. Thought I, This little brown girl reminds me of Jehovah talking to the restless sea: "Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further." Spirit of The Press Lynchings In The First Half of 1926 From the (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot The steadily improving lynching record of the past few years has of late led to the hope that the United States would soon celebrate a year wholly free of this form of savagery, but the record for the first six months of 1926 suggests that for some time to come it must remain a hope and nothing more. Already there have been nine lynchings in the United States and the year is only half done. Compared with the first six months of 1921 there has been progress, for in that unhappy period, only five years ago, the lynchings numbered 36. During the corresponding periods in 1922 and 1923 there were, respectively, 30 and 15. But during the first six months of 1924, the lynchings numbered only five—four fewer than the nine lynchings that occurred in the corresponding period in 1925. riodical lynching summaries for they touch a national plague spot in the eradication of which everybody concerned with decency and justice must be interested. Great progress has been made since dark years of the eighties, nineties and early nineteen hundreds when the number of lynchings averaged well above 100. In 1914 the lynchings record achieved a low of 16. Hopes for a lynchless year need not be abandoned. The nation is moving in the direction of that goal and, with the help of a public opinion every year more disgusted with mob murder and the assistance of law-enforcement officials more than ever alert to safeguard the judicial processes, will attain it. Justice For The Negro From the Newport News Daily Press In the Hustings Court of Richmond some time ago Susie Boyd, colored, was convicted of various forgeries and sentenced to a term of thirty years in the penitentiary. A number of white persons, including the editors of the Richmond papers deemed the sentence too severe and interceded in Susie's behalf. A prominent attorney who was well acquainted with Susie and other members of her family publicly declared that Susie was not well developed mentally and he felt sure that she did not fully realize the nature of her crime. Some of the colored newspapers also made a plea in Susie's behalf, and the upshot of it was that Judge W. Kirk Mathews reduced two of her ten year terms to three years each, and sus pended the sentence in the third case, thus reducing the sentence of thirty years to six years, which is sufficient to meet the ends of justice. There is no maudlin sentiment in this case, no plea that the woman be pardoned. The protest was not against her conviction or against proper punishment; only against the severity of the punishment, especially as a white woman who was convicted of stealing a very much larger sum of money got off with a very much lighter punishment. So the court was petitioned to review the case, which it did, and having satisfied himself that the sentence was harsh, moderated it as he deemed proper. It is a very high tribute to the sense of justice in the Old Dominion. Equal Justice For All From the Norfolk Ledger Dispatch For the sake of the individual concerned in the case, but more especially because of the far-reaching unfavorable effect to he dreaded in the future if such a judgment were allowed to stand, there is reason for general gratification at the action of Judge W. Kirk Mathews, of the Richmond Hustings court, Part I, who has reduced the sentence of Susie Boid, colored, for forgery from thirty to six years. At the time the sentence was imposed, the opinion was expressed in Richmond that the effect would be exceedingly detrimental to the relations existing between the races there and elsewhere, because of the belief which would thereby be aroused in the minds of the colored people that one kind of justice was handed out to Nogroes and another to white people. It seemed particularly unfortunate that just at that time a white woman convicted in the Richmond police court of the theft of $13,000 worth of goods by shoplifting, was given a suspended sentence of two years, whereas the amount involved in the Susie Boyd forgery case was only $183. Prompt recognition of the injustice done, and speedy correction thereof, do equal credit to Judge Mathews' head and heart. We agree fully with the Richmond News-Leader, when it says in discussing this case that "all the judges and all court officials of Virginia should remember justice is put on trial in its dealing with two classes of people—those who have great influence and those who have none. It is as much a disgrace to justice to show harshness to the weak as it is to be subservient to the strong. The color-line ought to end at the bar." Our knowledge of the courts of Norfolk justifies the belief that the judges and the court officials here are sedulous in protecting the interests of all citizens who come or are brought before them, regardless of race or color. If, for any reason, the accused are unable to secure counsel themselves, the courts never fail to appoint attorneys to defend them, and it may be added, the ones so designated work as hard for their clients as though they were to receive liberal fees. Norfolk has a large colored population. Between it and the white people the kindest relations exist, with each race working along the lines open to it for the best interests of the community and the upbuilding of this city. We do not believe that there is any reason to fear the dispensing here of different brands of justice to different Saturday, July 17, 1926 WIPING OUT THE OFFENSIVE TERMS NIGGLES DARKKEY THE SOUTHERN The New South THE CEMETERIES OF THE NEGRO DEAD By KELLY MILLER guage the type of a people is by observing the amount of attention which they bestow upon their dead. The graveyard is a connecting link between the life that now is and the life that is expected to survive after death. The One way to guage the type of civilization of a people is by observing the amount of attention which they bestow upon their dead. The graveyard is a connecting link between the life that now is and the life that is expected to survive after death. The Egyptians built the pyramids as tombs of the Pharoahs. The bodies were embalmed so as to preserve them against the time when the soul after its many vicissitudes should return to occupy its former habitat. All that the Egyptian nation was or hoped to be is disclosed in the story of the pyramids. Some years ago, I observed the famous Indian Mounds in the Kanawa valley of West Virginia. The archeologists delight to burrow into these mound remains to discover, if they may, something of the motive and meaning of these massive heaps of earth which rise sheer from the level ground of the surrounding valley. Who were the mound builders? Why did they heap these massive piles? Could the Red Indian as we have known him have had a passion of sufficient strength and stubbornness to actuate him to undertake such mammoth labors? The riddle of these mounds contains the secret of a civilization which lies buried beneath these mammoth piles. But we may rest assured that they had to do with the relation between the dead and the living according to the scheme of philosophy and bolief. The chief energies of the people so far as we can judge were absorbed in building tombs. It would make an engaging essay to undertake to determine what proportion of human effort from the beginning until now has been devoted to the dead. Even in the practical everyday world in which we live the claims of death are not overlooked. The sacrament of death engages a large part of the task of the ministry. However worldly the life may be lived yet the sacderdotal function must be performed at the end. No greater disgrace can befall ones' beloved ones than that they should be entombed without the rites of a Christian burial. Despite the agnosticism and religious indifference of the times, there still survive some traces of the ancient conceit that such rites have some intimate relation to the composition of the soul in the world beyond. At any rate they have obvious effect upon the composure of the mind and spirit classes or colors. But it is well that Richmond's untoward occurrence, now haply a thing of the past, should be borne in mind. Let Justice be blind if you will, but may her hearing be always keen, and her response as prompt to the appeals of the weak and helpless as to those of the strong and influential. of those left behind. The Negro race when uncontaminated by modernism and the so-called higher criticism is passionately religious. I can clearly recall as a boy in the back woods of South Carolina what marvelous sway the mystery of death had on the minds and imagination of the simple, sincere country folk. They were then passing through somewhat similar stage of psychic experiences as the common English folk experienced in the days of Watts and Wesley. These great British hymnologists put in lyric form this transient phase of mind. The solemnity and awfulness of death constitute a dominant note in these great spiritual songs. The Methodist and Baptist churches express the religion of the common folks of England. Negroes are essentially Methodists and Baptists because they respond to the same spiritual stimulus which aroused the common mind of England when it was at a corresponding stage of psychic experience. I can recall no hymn that made a deeper impression upon my boyish imagination than that sung at the wake of a younger brother— "The day is passed and gone, The evening shades appear; Oh may we all remember well, The night of death draws near." The night of death draws near." There never was a funeral in those days, but that we were reminded in tuneful sadness of— "Hark, from the tomb, a doleful sound." The value of a minister was largely determined by his ability to preach a stirring funeral sermon. Great strain was sometimes imposed upon the conscience to satisfy the family and friends that soul of the deceased had landed in the realm of bliss towards which it was not obviously directed during its tabernacle in the flesh. But discretion is the better part of practical wisdom. I have never known a minister, in those rustic days or since, to commit a single soul to everlasting fire, whatever his evil deeds, who had influential friends and family connections. I do recall how the fiction of "death-bed repentence" was relied upon often times to relieve the embarrassing situation. The Negro perhaps spends more time getting ready to leave this world and less, using it effectively while here than any other element of our population. Dr. Washington used to say that a haubtub was as sacred as a coffin. But his homely wisdom had little weight with the imagination of the race obsessed with the sacrament of death. As a lad I used to snig: "Teach me to live that I may dread My grave as little as my bed." It was a long time before I could banish from my mind that the grave and the bed should be of the same size. The Negro has a lively imagination but of limited duration. He makes great preparation for the ceremonies of death. Sickness and sorrow, pain and death are ever present fears. Sick and death benefit societies flourish like the *bay tree*. I presume that half the members of the race are insured to cover the requirements of a decent funeral. The display and expense of sepulchre often involve great economic waste. But the living seem to be willing to undergo all sorts of hardship and deprivation in order that their beloved dead may be decently laid away. The undertakers often reserve their most expensive caskets for Negro funerals. I have heard of a colored minister being buried in a fifteen hundred dollar casket. But, as I said before, the Nerg imagination does not extend many days beyond death and burial. After committing the body to the ground and the spirit it, little further attention is paid to the further welfare of his body or spirit. The race builds no monuments to its illustrious dead. The very ground in which the body is laid is neglected. I have often wondered why is that Negro graveyards are always kept in a state of neglect and repair. In passing by a burying ground, one can tell whether the city of the dead is occupied by white or colored denizens without a word of inquiry. He has only to look and be convinced. Let us take for illustration two great cities like Washington and Baltimore, over a hundred thousand Negro population each. They furnish a much larger graveyard contingency than the whites. Private corporations operate the cemeteries as a practical business enterprise. The Negro cemetery charge as much per lot as the whites. And yet the one looks as a beautiful park for the resting place of the beloved dead while the other resembles a desert waste where weeds and bushes promiscuously shoot in their unchecked struggle for existence. Would it not be more complimentary to the dead to beautify the cemetery or sleeping place, as the name implies by a judicious distribution of expense than to lavish it travagantly upon the individual corpse to be buried forever out of human sight? of human sign. Thy say that one can tell Negro sections of a city without seeing a single face. The dilapidated condition of surroundings often indicates the racial identity of the occupants. In riding through the South, have often noticed this disparity. I have tried to satisfy myself that, the difference of observation is due to economic and social circumstances and is wholly without race significance. Fashionable city blocks once occupied by whites but afterwards turned over to colored often suffer the same fate. This may also be due to change of circumstances which time will remedy. But in case of graveyards, I confer that I am at my wil's end to devise a reason for the odious comparison. pursuit. In our mad pursuits of the evanescent pleasures of the life that now is, let us not overlook those that have fallen or sleep as the connecting link between the here and the hereafter. Let the dead bury the dead; but let the living look after the burrying ground.
