Monument To Negro Soldiers (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Illinois. Sept. The South Park Board, the body which supervises Chicago's Boulevard system, this week authorized the placing of a monument at 55th Street and Grand Boulevard, commemorating the services of Negroes in the World War. State opposition had arisen to the site, a various white organizations had protested against it, because of the claim that it would prove an obstruction. The committee composed of Commissioner Edward H. Wright, George T. Kersey, Alderman L. B. Anderson, S. B. Turner, and Col. Otis B. Duncan recently approved the design for the memorial. Aged Man Has Been Missing For Four Weeks Aged Man Has Been Missing For Four Weeks William Henry Johnson, 805 Olney road, 66 years old, is reported by his wife, Mrs. Mary L. Johnson, to have been missing from his home since August 31. Mrs. Johnson, an invalid, having suffered a multilear stroke several years ago, is considerably wrought up over the past year, and he has husband without his communicating with her in any form. Sarayes he left home on the day he Missed about 1 o'clock, telling her that he would probably return in the late afternoon or positively on the next day. She has not seen or heard of him since, she states. When Mr. Johnson left he wore dress clothes, but carried with him an outfit of working garments, which she did not miss from the house until sometime after he had gone, she declared. Johnson is a tall slim man, thin featured with gray hair. He had been employed at Virginia Beach most of the summer, but a few days before his disappearance had left the beach and was temporarily out of employment. He had made seven trips to places throughout the working life she was the last place she knew of using the Naval or Army Base. Returning from this trip which proved futile, he told his wife that there seemed to be work to be found in this section, she says. He had worked away from home before, Mrs. Johnson states, being on a job in Delaware last year. Whenever out of the city, it had been his custom to write home and send money regularly, she says. She cannot understand his present silence. Mrs. Johnson is wondering if her husband has been a victim of foul play or of an accident. May he has become mentally unbalanced and wandered off, she opines. She is inclined to doubt that any of these things has happened, however, because she says, he always carried on his person and her name and address, for the particular purpose of identification in event of emergency. She believes that he has not voluntarily absented himself, someone would have found these papers on his person are communicated with her regaining him. She says, however that she is anxious to hear from him or about him, dead or in or out of trouble. He is a good man, she says, just as good a husband as a woman could Mrs. Johnson has been confined to her bed for the past few days with other illness. The fact of the paralysis never prevents her doing her household duties. 60 TO 70 YEARS FOR PRAYING SHEIK New York City, Sept. 24—Harlom's "praying sheik" was sentenced by Judge McIntyre in General Sessions to prison terms aggregating between sixty and seventy.

RECONVEYANCE OF THE PROPERTY HOPED FOR Washington, D. C., Sept. 22. The unfinished Masonic building at Tenth and U Streets, northwest, has been conveyed to S. J. Solomon, white, the records of the office of the Recorder of Deeds show. The deed transferring title in the property in fee simple to Mr. Solomon was recorded last Saturday after the deed of the court trustees, Alexander Wolf and William L. Houston, conveying the property to the Most Worthiful Acacia Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the District for Columbia, had been recorded. Deed Recorded A deed of trust t. The Second National Bank securing the court trusts the payment of the sum of $85,000, the debt of the cash money, was also recorded. It was given by the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. Both the deed of trust and the deed to Mr. Solomon were signed on behalf of the Grand Lodge by Charles P. Ford, Grand Master, and attested by Charles D. Freeman, Grand Secretary. According to Grand Master Ford there is an agreement between Mr. Solomon and the Grand Lodge providing for the conveyance of this property. The conveyance of the structure has been completed and certain conditions are complied with. This agreement was not recorded at the time the three deeds were recorded. The conveyance to Mr. Solomon was made for financial reasons, says Grand Master Ford. A loan in a sufficient amount to complete the structure could not be obtained with title in the Grand Lodge, he claims, and for that reason the proposition of Mr. Solomon was accepted. This agreement, he says, will be recorded at the proper time. Work To Be Resumed Work on the unfinished building will be resumed this Friday afternoon. There have been some changes in the plans and specifications in order to make the completed structure yield the largest possible amount of revenue, Grand Master Ford says. The work is to be completed within fifteen months. The uncompleted Masonic building plans sold at public auction on April 12, last, by order of Justice William Hitz of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia as the result of litigation brought by the Charles Datcher Lodge No. 15, Alan A. C. Griffith and Dr. Elias G. Evans against the New Masonic Hall Corporation. Differences between the two opposing Masonic factions could not be reconciled. The committee was unable to obtain the court. It made its request to the court on January 1926, and was discharged. In its report it recommended that the property be sold. March 2, 1926, Justice Hitz ordered the property sold and appointed Attorneys Houston and Wolf, trustees to make the sale. PRAISES HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON (By The Associated Negro Press Washington, D.

C., Sept. 22—Tragedy broke up an "eternal triangle" Tuesday when George S. Davis, 36 years old, 635 Fairmont street, northwest, shot to death Mrs. Desdemona Barnett Dudley, 32 years old, in apartment 6 of the Dudley Apartments, 1316 U street, northwest, and then attempted to kill himself. MURDERED THE NEW YORKER JANUARY 20, 1934 THE NEW YORKER JANUARY 20, 1934 DISMISSED THE CHARGE AGAINST ELDER MICHAUX Newport News Commonwealth's Attorney Moves For Dismissal On Grounds That Cause Is Removed. The warrant against Elder Lightfoot Michaux charging violation of the Massenburg law which grew out of his hapening and co-ordinated together in a baptizing at the boat harbor here Sunday before last, was dismissed when he was arraigned in Police Court Saturday morning. The warrant was dismissed on motion of Commonwealth's Attorney Smith who stated that the white people who took part with the colored in the services had left town and that was the only object sought in issuing the summons against Michaux. Michaux a letter to the Times-Herald concerning that newspaper's report on his hearing and dismissal states: "The Times-Herald stated on last Saturday: 'White converts have left town upon these grounds that Elder Michaux was freed from the charge of violating segregation law.' I wish to say to the public: The baptizing of the white converts and the attending of a great number of whites to our meeting, the majority of them being local whites, had nothing to do with me being summoned to police court, for whites have always attended colored religious meetings in the South and elsewhere, and have performed religious rites toward one another ever since he planted the knowledge of hearts that the race and white man and all other nations are made brothers in Him by the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ." Calling attention to numerous passages of the Scripture in defense of the races mixing in religious gatherings, Elder Michaux concludes: "Now, I was summoned to the police court to answer charge of violating the Massenburg law, which requires separate scatting of races in public gatherings, but this law does not apply to the Church. "In a personal interview with the Attorney General of the State of Virginia, Mr. Saunders, in his office at the capital in reference to this law, his frank reply to question asked was, that legislators would not be so foolish as to make any such law to govern a church, and that he himself very often attended colored churches in his county and would always do so. Even Mr. Copeland, the editor of Davis Named Co-respondent Davis Named Co-Respondent Davis is a bicycle policeman attached to No. 2 prefect police station. He had been named as the co-respondent in a suit for an absolute divorce brought by Sherman H. Dudley, nationally known theatrical magnate, sportsman and business man, against his wife, Mrs. Desdemona B. Dudley, in tast May. The Dudleys had effected a reconciliation last week and Mrs. Dudley was just moving into the apartment occupied by her husband since their separation. Mr. and Mrs. Dudley had just returned Monday night from a motor trip to Atlantic City, N. J., where they spent their second honeymoon taken upon their reconciliation. Shot: Tuesday Morning The shooting occurred about 10:50 o'clock Tuesday morning according to Frank Anderson, 1223 Seventh street, northwest, an employee of Mr. Dudley and one of two eye-witnesses to the tragedy. Davis went to the Dudley room for a talk with Mrs. Dudley after Mr. Dudley is said to have refused to refund him money which he is alleged to have spent on Mrs. Dudley since the Dudleys had been separated. Mrs. Dudley refused him admission. He left but returned later. An expressman, James Wright, 434 L street, northwest, was delivering Mrs. Dudley's trunk. Taking advantage of his admission, Davis said to have entered the apartment forebey. When Mrs. Dudley was asked by the expressman where to put the trunk, Mrs. Dudley said to have spoken up declared: "You need not put it anywhere; she will have no further need for it." The expressman asked: "Why don't you sit down and talk over matters quietly?" Davis is said to have admonished him to keep out of it or he would go along with Mrs. Dudley. "All I want to know," he is said to have asked, "are you through with me?" At first she made no answer. He repeated the question. She then answered in the affirmative. Davis drew his revolver and fired two shots, both taking effect. "Frank, he has shot me!" Mrs. Dudley cried to Anderson, who attempted to go to her rescue. Davis pursued her into the bedroom, pulled Anderson aside and fired two more shots. Reloads His Gun Going into the hall, Davis, reloaded his gun, a .38 calibre Smith and Wesson revolver, the property of the police department of the District of Columbia. He returned into the bedroom where Mrs. Dudley was lying on the floor. He drew up a chair close to her body, sat in it and shot himself in the right temple. When Captain Robert E. Doyle of No. 8 precinct police station arrived at the scene, he found Davis seated in the chair holding his head in his hand. He admitted committing the crime and asked to be removed from the scene as quickly as possible. The Emergency Hospital ambulance responded and Mrs. Dudley was pronounced dead upon its arrival by Dr. Stanley Paul Portion. Her body was removed to the District morgue. Taken To Hospital Davis was taken to the Freedmen's Hospital in the patrol wagon of No. 8 precinct police station. He was treated by Drs. Howard Jackson and John R. Nurse, two internes. Dr. T. Edward Jones, staff surgeon, later examined him and declared that he had a fifty-five chance to recover. His right eye has been completely destroyed. Davis was charged with murder at No. 8 precinct police station and placed under police guard at the hospital. TWELVE PAGES—TWO PARTS HEAD OF BIG HOTEL WANTS EDUCATEDMEN Negro Waiters Told To Get Education and Conquer the Hotel Field; Believes in Colored Help. DRIVE FOR CLEAN MEN IN THE DINING ROOMS (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Sept. 2.—Declaring their faith in the future of their profession and urging the waiters of the country to so improve their service and comport themselves that colored waiters may enlargate their field of work, the National Association of Colored Waiters and Cooks held its first annual session, September 14, 15, and 16 at the Unity Civic Center here. Mattire 'Ds,' head waiters chefs, and side waiters from every section of the country were presiding notes, exchanging ideas on service, listening to experts representing some of the leading hotels of the country lecture on the duties, responsibilities, and possibilities before the colored waiter. Will Use Negro Help "You have your future in your own hands," said Frank Gregson, white, manager of the Southern zone of the American Hotel Corporation, an organization which with its companion, the United Hotel Association, employs some 4,000 colored men and women in hotels throughout the country. Mr. Gregson who is a southerner and who came from Chattanooga, Tenn., under direct orders of his chief, General Kinaid, to present greetings to the Cooks and Waiters, who he said that the definite purpose of the group of 27 hotels he represented was to give the United States the best hotel service possible and that their established policy was to use Negro cooks and waiters. Mr. Juan Muller, Maître d' of the New Palmer House of Chicago, one of the finest hostels in the country, with a service whose excellence is attracting the attention of hotel owners and interested in how the new hotel opened last fall, a chorus of prediction went up from hotel managers "that colored waiters could not handle a hotel the size of the Palmer House and give satisfactory service in dining rooms and at banquets." "You men have proved them wrong," said Mr. Muller, who established a school and drilled into his staff every principle and fine point in European and American service. "There is just one thing to be educated about: Make it educational. Keep on training and improving. Be the best in the profession. It takes a man of ability, personality, and skill to be a waiter. Take pride in your profession and by improving the standard of the colored waiter in the country you will cause the doors of America's finest hotels to swing open." The progressive 'Waiters' and Cooks' Association of Chicago under the leadership of President Irving W. Gray, head waiter at the Del Prado, and Chylow Brown, whose work was largely responsible for success of the meeting, hosts the convention, their well appointed headquarters on Michigan boulevard. The next meeting will be held in Harrisburg, Pa., where the Headwaiter Morris Cowan will be host.

Do Not Pay More SL Signal Honor For Major Brooks (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Sept. 22—During the time for the funeral of Major Arthur Brooks, which was held at the St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church of Charleston, a memorial of the years, the executive offices of the White House were closed as a mark of the profound respect in which he was held by the chief executive. The executive offices at Paul Smith's, N. Y., the summer White House, were also closed. President Coolidge sent a special representative to the funeral. The Rev. G. L. Mitchell officiated at the funeral services. Full military honors were accorded to Major Brooks. BOBBY HAGGANS BACK WITH MOTHER; NOT KIDNAPED BY FATHER Mrs. Robert Haggans, who informed the Journal and Guide last week that she had been anxiously seeking her four-year old son, Robert jr., since he was removed from the home of her mother in Dudley, N. C., on September 4 by his father, now has the child in her custody, she notified this paper a few days ago. Within twenty-four hours after the Journal and Guide appeared on the streets carrying Mrs. Haggans' story of her child and of her distraught over her ignorance of his whereabouts, her husband telephoned her from Richmond to come for their little son. She caught the first train out, she says, and returned here with Robert jr.: "Of course I did not kidnap my own son," Mr. Haggans told the Journal and Guide over long distance telephone. The father disclaimed any intention of keeping the child indefinitely his mother, and this claim is substantiated by his promptness with which he got in touch with Mrs. Haggans as soon as her desire to have the child returned to her was broadest through this paper. While the Journal and Guide is gratified at having been instrumental in relieving the mother's anxiety, the paper had no desire to cause Mr. Haggans any embarrassment, and in serving the mother apologizes to the father for any annoyance he has endured in the matter. FEWER NEGROES MORE WHITES IN GEORGIA JAILS Decrease Of Seventeen Per Cent For Former; Increase Of Thirty Per Cent For Latter. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22.—That the Negro population of Georgia is becoming more law abiding and the white population less so is indicated by a study of the county jail of the State just made by Miss Shoda Kaufman, secretary of the State Department of Public Welfare. The study shows that in the last four years the number of Negroes in Georgia jails has decreased seventeen per cent, while the number of white inmates has increased thirty per cent. "Some years ago there were on the average two Negroes in jail for each white man," says Miss Kaufman's report, "while now the number are almost equal. This is still too high." A proportion of Negroes, since the colored population of the State constitutes only about forty per cent of the total." Room For Improvement Continuing Miss Kaufman says: "The State Department of Public Welfare is working hard to improve conditions in the jails for white and colored prisoners alike. In about one hundred counties local committees of interested citizens have been appointed by the Department to make prison speeches of the jail in the effort to see the prisoners have clear, healthful living conditions (continued on Page Six). ALL NEWS THAT SMIRTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS CONTRACTOR IS VICTIM OF FATAL DRIVE CONTRACTOR IS VICTIM OF FATAL DRIVE George Stevenson Bundy, A Widely-known Essex County Citizen Races To Death In Piscataway Creek. DASHES AUTOMOBILE ON BRIDGE WITH OPEN DRAW George Stevenson Bundy, familiarly known as Steve Bundy, a prominent citizen of Essex county, and widely known throughout aiding counties as a religious and civic worker, church and school building contractor, met a tragic death Friday morning about 7 o'clock when he drove his automobile into the open draw at Piscataway Creek. Immediately after the car was seen to make its fatal plunge, hundreds of men, white and colored crowded around the scene and made frantic efforts to recover his lifeless body and the machine. Success crowned their efforts five or six hours later. Disregarded Warning Mr. Bundy was engaged in doing some repair work on Rappapacknack Industrial Academy, at Ozawa, of which he is secretary of the trustee board. The draw signals were set against him and alarm calls were shouted by several men nearby who were aware of an impending tragedy when they saw the car coming on apparently headless of the danger signals on the bridge. The only plausible explanation that can be offered for Mr. Bundy's apparent disregard of the warning is that when he realized his predicament he became excited, lost self-control and put his foot on the accelerator instead of the brakes. Widely Known Mr. Bundy was known all over the State for his aptitude in so many lines. Besides being a constructor and builder, he took an active and enthusiastic part in the church and fraternal affairs. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, superintendent of the First Baptist Sunday school at Tappanhannock and was always a prime mover in uplift projects in his community on behalf of his people. He is survived by his widow, one son, who is a senior at Virginia Union University and a daughter who married about a month ago. Practically the whole of Essex county and the adjacent counties were shocked by the tragic death of George Stevenson Bundy, who passed is mourned by hundreds. Two Fire Companies Have All Colored Members of Crew Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 22.—Twenty-eight members of the local fire department comprising Engine Company No. 9 and Truck Company No. 5, are colored. They receive in salary a total of $53,600 annually, and constitute the only two fire companies consisting of colored men from captains on down in this country. The organization of these companies is said to have been brought about by William S. Cuthbert, director of public safety, in an effort to give Negroes larger recognition in the affairs of the police in keeping with political pledges of his party, this after promises of fourteen years had been dodged by each succeeding administration. The Engine Company was organized in 1920; and in June of this year the truck company was formed. There is not a single white man on duty in the station housing these two companies. It is said the Commissioner modestly claims he thought it time some worthwhile appointments be handed the Negro constituents. City Social and Personal Misses Florence E.

He did not come home, but stayed there to work. Three weeks later, wrote his mother that he would be home until late in the summer, and for her to explain everything to me, watched from him Tuesday morning, sitting that he will be home Saturday and for me to meet him. Do you think I should meet him and be the same old family? does not want me to tell any of his friends that he is coming, so I will have to go alone. Tell me, O Noam, tell me, I must meet him and how to do it. Frances.

MORE SUPPRESSED YOUTH Dear Naomi: He has been here to see my mother and then he can't come to see me. I think we are going to get married next month. We'll go to get married and go to New York.

Don't Waste A Drop Let a hot spell come upon us suddenly and a thunder storm enter the scene and presto! you will find the milk transformed into an almost solid mass. It may be that only a small pitcher or measure of cream has suffered from the summer heat. Shall it be thrown away? Not at all. For example, here is a recipe far a delicious quick sour cream pie which utilizes a cup of turned cream. Combine it with one-half cup plumbed seedless raisins, two-thirds cup sugar, few grains nutmeg and powdered cloves, three tablespoons flour and one-quarter teaspoonful salt, and cook over hot water until the mixture thickens. Then cook ten minutes more. Beat the yolks of three eggs and add them to the mixture, stirring constantly for two more minutes. Turn into a baked pie shell and cover with meringue. Set to brown in a moderate oven for eight minutes. This will make an excellent dessert, one which your whole family will ask for again. In my opinion there is no dressing so delicious on cucumbers, radishes and many other of the succulent summer vegetables as sour cream alone slightly diluted with olive oil and simply seasoned with a dash of pepper and salt. The delightful Russian dish of sour cream, well chilled and eaten with cut-up or sliced salad plants, makes a refreshing hot weather lunch dish. A taste for the Russian sour cream soups or for the custom of pouring clotted cream over broiled beef steak may have to be cultivated, but those who have once tasted the sour cream dish will certainly never waste even a small amount. Keep that cup of sour cream, that pitcher of turned milk, for it can be made into one of any number of delicious, economical dishes. If you would like "Sour Milk Recipes," write Helen H. Downing, 4100 Filmore street, Chicago, Ill. Banana Sherbet 1 tbsp. Vanilla. Chop bananas fine. Add milk, flavoring and sugar. Put in freezer and when half frozen fold in the egg whites which have been stiffly beaten. This amount will make one gallon of sherbet. Princess Pears 1 C. Sugar 1-3 C. Water 1-2 C. Chopped Dates 1-3 C. Chopped Nuts Pears 'Whipping Cream Boil the sugar and water until a hard ball will form when a little of the sirup is dropped in cold water. Pour this over the dates and nuts. Mix well, fill the halves of the pears with this, top with whipped cream and serve. Peach Meringues Fill the centers of peach halves with nut-meats, cover over with a meringue made of one stiffly beaten egg-white and two tablespoons of sugar. Then brown quickly in the oven and serve. Frozen Apple Cut From the tops of eight red apples cut off a slice and scoop out the fruit without breaking the skins. Set the apple cups on ice to chill. Cut the apple into pieces and add a cup and a half of sugar (one cup is enough unless the apples are sour) and two cups of water and cook until tender. Mash all lumps and add the juice of one lemon and one orange and one-half teaspoon of nutmeg. Pour into an ice-cream freezer and freeze hard. Fill the apple cups with the frozen mixture, putting a spoonful of whipped cream and a red cherry on top each cup.

Contestants sent to Tuskegee are by chosen, county and district elimination try-outs. Every club boy and girl, whether he or she is a winner in the district contest or not, is benefited by having to put forth a special effort in club work in order to compete for the trip to Tuskegee Institute. Last year Alabama, Mississippi and Oklahoma were the only States competing, in-as-much as it was the first year for the Conference. Many representatives from other States came to observe, however, and all indications are that many more of the southern states will be in the final contests this year. The trip to Tuskegee is given as a prize to the winners of the district contests and prizes are given to the successful contestants in the judging and other contests at Tuskegee. Letters of inquiry come to the office of Negro Extension Work at Tuskegee, indicate that competition from the local try-outs to the finals will be very keen.

Booker Dies At National Baptist Conventio Fort Worth, Texas, Sept.—While thousands listened spell-bound as the Reverend J. C. Austin of Chicago addressed the National Baptist Convention Thursday night in session here, a panting, white-faced messenger brought to the assemblage the news that Dr. J. A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist College, and a moving force in the Baptist circles, had succumbed to an attack of acute indigestion at ten o'clock. The announcement of Dr. Booker's passing was a distinct shock to the great audience, as he was apparently in good health and had been a prominent figure in the workings of the convention. Immediately following the announcement, the entire assemblage knelt in prayer. His body will be sent to his home in Little Rock, Ark., for interment. Dr. Joseph Albert Booker was born in Portland, Arkansas, some time prior to the Civil War. He was educated at the Branch Normal College in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and the Roger Williams University in Nashville, Tennessee. Following his graduation from the theological department of Roger Williams, he was ordained minister of the Missionary Baptist Church, which he pastored for a short time. In 1887 he assumed the presidency of Arkansas Baptist College, which he headed for the past 39 years, and which under his leadership and administration has enjoyed constant growth.

W. Kittelle, former naval governor of the Virgin Islands, was filed today in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by Lucius J. M. Malmin, first American judge of the district court of the Islands. Judge Malmin charges that Admiral Kittelle published libelous letters in a national magazine and a Virgin Island newspaper saying that "Mr. Malmin was dismissed from office for cause by Governor Oman." This statement, the plaintiff contends, implies that he had been guilty of a corrupt or dishonest act and that the temporary naval governor of the Islands had authority to dismiss a judge holding office by life appointment and not subject to the jurisdiction of the governor. Judge Malmin, was deposed by Governor Oman in 1921 during his absence in the United States. By a decision of the U. S. Circuit Court, approved by President YES, SIR! IT'S A FACT!

A. and was a member of the Girl's Glee Club. The young woman was in the city away from relatives, but friends did everything humanly possible to aid her when she was stricken with fatal illness. Particularly among those who were mindful of her was Mrs. Williams, with whom she lived, who generously enlisted her in an emergency every possible care until her last day.

He and his wife, Mrs. Celia Ellis had just returned home the day before his death, after spending several days with his mother in Richmond. He was stricken with convulsions resulting from high blood pressure Thursday morning and quietly passed away at 3:05 p. m., that day. The funeral was conducted at St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, Gordonville, of which he was rector, Sunday afternoon. The congregation was composed of Friends and acquaintances of Newark, N. J., Washington, D. C., Charlottesville, Gordonville and vicinity. He and wife had labored zealously among the people of Gordonville and Charlottesville and many tributes, both floral and literary we chested upon the deceased. Rev. George McLaren Brydon, of Richmond, archdeacon of colored work in Virginia officiated at the obsequies of was assisted by Rev. James of Gordonville. The Baptist ministers taking part were: Rev. Thurston, of Charlottesville and Revs. Clarke, Cave and Gordon, of Gordonville. Mr. Pike, of Charlottesville sang a touching solf. The remains were taken to Richmond Sunday evening and interred in Woodland cemetery from A. D. Price's funeral parlor at noon last Monday. Henry Lodge A. F. and A. M. met the body on its arrival in Richmond and accompanied it to its last resting place beside the body of his first wife, the late Catherine Ellis, who died several years ago. The ceremonies at the cemetery were very impressive. Rt. Rev. Wm. Cabell Brown, bishop of the diocese of Virginia. Rev. George McLayton, Brydon and Rev. Junius L. Taylor, vector of St. Philip's P. E. Church, Richmond, in which the deceased was at one time a consistent worker, took part in the service. The Masons performed the burial ceremony in ritualistic form. Rev.

Besides his wife, he is survived by mother, a sister, Mrs. Rosemary St. Smith, a daughter, Mrs. Lawrence T. Dining of Richmond and other relatives. MISS EVELYN M. COLLINS Dismissed The Michaux Charge (Continued from Page One) The Times-Herald, laid down his red of racial integrity when asked by Mr. James N. Handeck, of Hampton, whether the Massenburg law was against white and colored worshipping together. The castle spirit of the class spirit must be left out of the church or else it will be void of the spirit of God. For any church that a black brother can kill the spirit of by walking up and taking a front seat in it beside his white brother, is not of God. "Thertfore, Mr. Smith, our Commonwealth's Attorney, a perfect Virginia gentleman, as soon as the full light of this case was brought in, he himself asked the court without hearing testimony from either side for which we thanked him, for our prayer to God is that the records of the courts of Virginia will never be disgraced with no such case." BISHOP W. SAMPSON BROOKS LECTURING HERE ON AFRICA BISHOP W. SAMPSON BROOKS LECTURING HERE ON AFRICA Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, bishop of the diocese of West Africa of the A. M. E. Church, in this vicinity and has been for several days lecturing and on the "Terils and Needs in Africa." On Sunday morning last he occupied the pulpit at St. John's A. M. E. Church where he preached a profound sermon interspersed with highly informative talks on Africa. The bishop who has conferred and is the head of the largest school on the Dark Continent, gave a heart-touching description of the needs in the benighted land. His school which is constructed of timber and concrete has capacity for 500 students, and according to the African law, when a student once enters the school of the missionary, his teachers become responsible for that student's board, lodging, and instruction. He also teaches it a real hardship and a most expensive proposition to carry civilization to the heathen. Tuesday night Bishop Brooks was at Emanuel A. M. E. Church in Portsmouth and during the week he has been to various other A. M. E. Church, Newport News, Berkley and vicinity. He is a profound lecturer and certainly a most appealing one. First Baptist Church (Lamport's Point) Services at this church were well attended last Sunday. At 11 am, the pastor, Rev. D. Jennings, preached an able sermon on the subject, "Decided Choice." At 3 o'clock the women of the church observed Woman's Day with an appropriate program. The women of Morning Star Baptist Church took part in the services which were inspiring and enjoyed by all present. At night the candle light shone, and at midday, time the pastor preached a stirring sermon, using the words: "You are the light of the world." Revival services will begin on Sunday and will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Crisp, of Norfolk. LEADS WHITE CHOIR IN SPIRITUALS (By Associated Negro Press) Fort Worth, West, Sept. 22—John W.

K ST. PAUL OPENS WITH A LARGE ENROLLMENT --- St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, Lawrenceville, Virginia, whose advertisement has been running in this paper, is well worthy of the confidence and patronage of parents and guardians of children. No school in Virginia offers a better balanced type of education. It is a school that inculcates the highest Christian and Moral standards as a base upon which to build the system of Academic and Industrial training. It will prepare your boy or girl to listen to the professions, give practical training in craftsmanship, home arts and cookings, or a trade of some kind; carpentry, brickmasonry, engineering and plumbing, plastering or any one of the sixteen trades for boys and four for girls that it offers. A boy or girl can get the trade of his choice from the wide variety offered. Just now, especial importance attaches to the opportunities offered by the trades: brickmasonry, plasterers, carpenters and mechanics of all skills are in constant demand at a wage from $8.00 to $15.00 per day. No school in the country offers more practical courses in brickmasonry and carpentry than St. Paul's. The student there gets practice in real construction work under actual trade conditions and practices. Contractors and builders give preference to St. Paul tradesmen on the training given, which obtains the usual necessity of "rubbing off the raw edge." The Reverend James S. Russell is Founder and Principal. The Right Reverend Beverly D. Tucker is President of the Board of Trustees and Bishop A. C. Thomson is a member of the board also. The school has the confidence of the white and colored people of the country. Each year shows increase of interest and contributions in support of the school from white and colored people of Virginia. Special arrangements are being made this year, to start a second class in Carpentry, printing and tailoring, November 1st, because of the large number of applicants, will be accommodated fifteen additional in each class. Applications must be made early. Write for catalogue to: Rev. James S. Russell, Principal, Lawrenceville, Va.

URGES SENATORS' QUIZ ON THE DYER BILL N.A.A.C.P. URGES SENATORS' QUIZ ON THE DYER BILL New York, Sept. 17.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today announced that in view of numerous inquiries received at the National office concerning the record of candidates for election or re-election to the Senate, the Association is urging colored voters throughout the North to quiz their senatorial candidates and put them on record with regard to the following three issues: 1. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. 2. Disfranchisement of Colored Voters in the South. 3. Segregation on the Government Departments at Washington. A statement issued by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. Y. State Department, in the fall elections of 1926, the colored voters have an opportunity to show their power and to make that power effective in behalf of the race. "This has been brought home to the N. A. A. C. P. by numerous letters and letters of condolence to the record of candidates for office and seeking our advice about how to vote in the coming elections. "Our reply is very simple: make every candidate for election to the United States Senate state unequivocally and plainly what he intends to do, if elected, about the Dyer Bail, Disfranchisement and Segregation in Washington. As everyone knows, it is the United States Senate that has blocked past senators from voting in a Bill with the result that there have been more lynchings in the first 8 months of 1916 than there were in the whole 12 months of 1925. "Our advice to colored voters everywhere, is to vote for the senatorial candidate, irrespective of his party, who answers the three questions in a straightforward and sat- That is silky fine and hangs in shining long waves, is woman's greatest beauty, a luring attraction every woman wants.

Withers Gill, writing in the British Empire Supplement of The Outlook, of London, of September 14, and the work of which an association he holds could not fail to throw light upon African psychology. "The conditions under which the mind of a typical African Negro works appear to us in a topsy-turvy light," writes Mr. Gill. In material matters he, "shreds, sullen and childish; in spiritual matters he shreds, sits down in a Native Court of jurisdiction, where the procedure is in the hands of a tribal chief and his counselors, and where the 'case law' is represented by some oral tradition or more often by a familiar folk tale. You will marvel at the simple practical justice of the verdict which may frequently be according to what the lion said or the elephant did in some worn out table cured from the love of the folk. How much more genuine and effective is the equity of these judgments than those given under the elaborate procedure of alien courts adapted to a different stage of civilization where a high standard of evidence is imposed. Evidence of this latter character is readily obtained by caelery or purchase at so much a head. With ease it decierves the European but not the native judge who knows the mentality of his fellow men. Talk to natives in their own tongue free from the restraints of official etiquette, and the shrewdness of their arguments and the keenness of their insight into the mental processes of their fellows will astonish you. If the superior person would descend from his pedestal he would earn a lot about African mentality which would profoundly modify plans designed for his moral betterment."

The proprietor of this concern is W. H. Mitchell, who, for a number of years has successfully manufactured and sold herb medicines in this locality. In fact the company itself is the outgrowth of the increased demand for the products which Mr. Mitchell has been manufacturing, this demand reaching the point where it became necessary to form a corporation to facilitate the making and marketing of them. The shelves of the Mitchell display room and laboratory are stocked with medicines of varying shades, colors and taste, all labeled to cure or give specific benefits in various ailments. The laboratory is equipped with up-to-date appliances for the manufacture of the Mitchell company's products which include beside medicine, a wide line of hair and face preparations. It is the claim of numerous persons in this community and elsewhere who have used the Mitchell Medicine Company products that the materials claimed for them and are equal in every way to and better than a number of like products made and sold by concerns operating in the large cities of the North and West. The company is desirous of securing a number of live agents in the communities throughout Virginia, North Carolina and elsewhere.

People STREET Le Rates vice Norfolk Journal and Guide Lost From Family At Seven YearsOld, Returns at Age of 68 To Visit Relatives Here Living for 58 years without the knowledge of having a single relative anywhere in the world, and yet during all of this time being within less than 18 hours distance of numerous kinfolk, then, eventually through a favorable twist of fate learning of the existence of these relatives and three years later being literally received into their arms a long lost uncle, is the remarkable experience of Henry Cason, of Boston, known in that that Cason's experience brings to light another of those pathetic family separations of the Civil War which historians have never enumerated. And to Mrs. Emma Brickhouse, 816 Avenue A, Mr. Cason's grand niece, and to his numerous nieces and nephews of Princess Anne county, his showing up in Norfolk a few days ago was almost as one coming from the dead. Henry Clay Cason, now 68, was born in this city and lived here until 1865 when he was seven years of age when an incident occurred in recent visit to relatives in Norfolk and Princess Anne county, he had not placed foot on Virginia soil. He did not know that any of the members of his family or their descendants still lived, nor was he certain even that there were any relatives living in Virginia ago when an incident occurring in Boston which resulted in bringing him the agreeably startling information that he had relatives living in Norfolk and vicinity. In relating the story of how he became lost to his worldly kin, Mr Cason seems to have a vivid recollection of the incidents. He sys in 1865 he was living with his brother, sister and parents in a house just across the rive near what was then known as the Racefield bridge on the Berkley side. One bright afternoon when his little sister was crying for a penny, little Henry heard her and consolled her with the assurance that she need not cry, but wait until tomorrow when he would go down town to the wharf and black boots and bring her some money. On the next day, as he had promised, the thrifty little boy went to the wharf, just where that was located he does not now know where he is, and where near the present site of the Monticello Hotel, set up his box and began to soldize his box and began to handle the wharf a short while, along came a ship loaded with Union soldiers en route to Richmond to reinforce General Grant's army which was then the grant to city. The troop ship stopped at Norfolk to fill her bunkers and little Henry went aboard to black the army officers' boots. While the boy was engaged at this task, the ship pulled out and when Henry realized it he was well out in the stream. He began to cry, he says, when one of the officers noticed his distress, went to the urchin and inquired. The little trouble with the officer of his plight, who was immediately reassured by this big-hearted soldier with the remarks "don't cry, you will be alright. I'll take you to my home in Now Hampshire and take care of you." Little Henry dried his tears and became quite contented in spite of the fact that he was destined not to see another member of his family for more than a half century. Of course this was wrapped up in the destinies of fate, and certainly this unsophisticated child mind could not perceive it. While the ship was on route to Richmond, Mr. Cason says, orders were received on board commanding her captain to put in at White House Landing, Va., as Grant had reached Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy had fallen and the troops aboard the ship would not be needed. While lying at White House Landing further orders came mustering out the soldiers and sending them on their way to their respective homes. The officer who had promised to take little Henry to New Hampshire kept his word and set out from White House Landing with the little Negro charge in his care. It is timely to state here that Henry's older brother, Thomas Jefferson Cason, had already gone to the army. And when peace was declared and demobilization took place, the elder brother returned to his home in Norfolk to find his family scattered. He knew nothing of the wherabouts of his little brother, Henry, who was then en route to New Hampshire with the Union officer. Thomas drifted to Princess Anne county where he knew his former master one William T. Busky, owned a large plantation. Busky also had large properties in Norfolk where he kept the Cason family, but as conan the war was over, he, like numerous slave owners, sought safety with his slaves. It was natural then that Thomas reasoned that Busky had carried all the Cason slaves to his Princess Anne county plantation. Whether or not he found his father and sister there does not appear to be cleared up, but it is known that the mother had already died and that little Henry was not found. Arriving in Concord, New Hampshire with his little black ward, the army officer carried the boy to Left Here In 1865 Sails On Board Gets Disappointment NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1926 the home which had been kept by the officer's father and stepmother while the son fought in the war. But here the benevolent soldier was in for a rude disappointment. His stepmother refused absolutely to have anything to do with the little unchin brought from the South. She was bitter toward Negroes because her own son had laid down his life in arms in what the mother deeply felt to be in unjustified defense of the blacks. She held Negroes responsible for her loss, and naturally resented the presence of one in her home. The soldier, undismayed, began a tramp through the state with his little ward, inquiring here and there of kindly disposed persons if some one of them would adopt and rear a Negro child. From Concord the party went to the town of Hopkinton, N. H., thence to a village of that town called Contequesville. From this village the soldier and the little black returned to Concord, whence they went to Lowden, N. H. At Lowden fate smiled on the pair, and the gracious efforts of the sturdy-hearted army officer were rewarded. Here he succeeded in placing the boy in the white white man who had a son named Warren just about the same age as Henry Cason. It should be explained here that to every home or place in New Hampshire that the soldier carried the boy only white people lived. There were no colored persons at all in that section of the state. Lived Here 11 Years Sent to Academy When Henry and Warren had finished the village school they were sent to Samuelton Academy. Here fate decreed a change in Henry's life, which never has been compensated for. This was the beginning of the worse for the little black boy who had been reared under strict New England discipline. This was the beginning of his casting adrift. Henry, for some reason or the other which he holds as a life's secret, left the academy, but he freely admits that his separation from the school was not the fault of his foster parents or anybody connected with the school. His returning home soon after being sent off for higher education, stunned Mr. and Mr. Brown. The white foster-fat-her was so upset and disappointed in Henry, who he had hoped to make a Baptist preacher to send and and withdrew the use of his deed to discipline the boy for his education. Mr. Brown sent Henry, now 18 years old, in the yard to saw wood because he had left school. Henry worked on the wood-filament for a while and informed to the house that he was going to leave. With tears in her eyes, this kindly woman pleaded with the man to leave her home. When her husband came into the house she told him to come. The old man's disappointment in his colored adopted son grew intense. He told pleaded with the boy not to go. Henry listened to their pleadings and changed his mind, but only temporarily. As Mr. Cason now tells it, what irked him most was his not having as much money as he thought he ought to have for spending change such as his playmates had. He says when he and Warren went to ball games or took in other diversions they never had more than just the necessary expense. The parents were used as the tools of the war, while the her boys seemed always to be supplied with adequate spending change. He nery thought it was high time that he ought to be handling money too. With this determination growing in his mind, he finally definitively decided to leave his foster-parents and seek his own fortune in the world—a world which he knew nothing about. Joins The Navy Leaving Lowden, Henry returned to Concord, thence to Portsmouth, where he was station located and enlisted in the navy.

U. S. sailor. At the end of his enlistment period, he was discharged in Boston, now 21 years of age and a man. In Boston, Henry Clay Cason thereafter made his home and settled down to the routine of life. In explaining how the Cason was dropped from his name in New Hampshire, he says one day his foster-father, Mr. Brown, said in a casual way, "Henry, I am going to call you simply Henry Clay." From that time on he was never again Henry Clay Cason. He was quite young, he says, and it didn't matter much to him whether he was Henry Clay or Henry Clay Cason. Years after landing in Boston, Mr. Cason married a young woman whose home was in Norfolk. On several occasions during their married life he sought eagerly to gain some information. Norfolk regards the league of Norfolk as people existed in this section. His wife, not having heard of such a family while she lived here, was unable to enlighten him on the subject. Henry Clay, simply took it for a matter of fact that he had relatives. Has Good Fortune But quite unexpectedly, three years ago, an incident fell out of the lap of the gods which served to reunite Henry Clay with his folks here. The time had come for the selection of a student to read the Declaration of Independence at the Old Colony House in Boston, an annual event. Mayor Curely, shattering all precedents, selected a colored boy, one Charles C. Dogan jr., of Norfolk for the honor. Dogan was then the highest school of Boston. The choreographed colored boy for this honor caused a flurry in some Southern circles, which Mayor Curely scotched with one of the most searching democratic documents ever coming from a city official even in New England. Mrs. C. C. Dogan, of Avenue A. of this city, mother of C. C. jr., went to Boston to hear her son read the immortal document. While there she took occasion to visit Mrs. Clay, whom she had known in Norfolk as a young girl. Mrs. Dogan met Mr. Clay, husband of her hostess. Knowing that Mrs. Dogan was from Norfolk, Mr. Clay or Cason, lost no time in engaging her in conversation relative to any Casones in her home town. Mrs. Dogan recalled that she had on various occasions heard her next door neighbor, Mrs. Emma Brickhouse, mention that she, Mrs. Brickhouse, had a great uncle residing in Princess Anne county by the name of Thomas Jefferson Cason. At thread of the long sight, information was not so clear. It was quickly reasoned that Mrs. Brickhouse was the great piece of Thomas Jefferson Cason and also of Henry Clay Cason. Correspondence between Mrs. Cason and Mrs. Brickhouse was immediately started, with the result that last week Henry Clay Cason visited his home city for the first time in 58 FURNISHED ROOM ON BANK, CUMBERLAND OFFICE 357 E.

Alston Tire 8 1841 Church St. DECLARES "GRACE OF GOD" FACTOR IN BUSINESS SUCCESS It is somewhat unusual to hear a successful business man in this day of materialism attributing his success to the "grace of God" and confidence of the people, but that is just what Mr. B. H. Alston, proprietor of the Alston Tire and Rubber Company, 1841 Church street, declares to be the basis of the progress of his business. When interviewed by a representative of this paper, Mr. Alston was reluctant to say a word about his affairs and the evident success it is making. He consented to talk only on condition the reporter would emphatically state that Mr. Alston takes to himself credit for the success, but places it all to his "trust in God" the cooperation the public has unstintedly given him and the devotion of his capable wife. The Alston Tire and Rubber Company has succeeded in a field where there is the stiffest sort of competition. The concern operates one of the finest and most modern filling stations in the city, having every appliance for supplying oil and gas to cars; a tire repair and vulcanizing department equipped with the latest machines and tools for the work; an engine repair department specializing in repairs and adjustments to automobile machinery of every make; a modern Kelog department with a modern Kelog car delivery system; a engine and oil-to-die vehicle department; maintains a car storage department and sells second hand tires of every make as well as various kinds of auto accessories. The plant covers a space facing 150 feet on Church street, running back 127 feet deep. It has gas reservoirs capable of storing 3195 gallons of gas at a time and oil storage for 250 gallons. The oil conveniences are the very best, having the concrete subway with storage for tools. Just now Mr. Alston is installing the air-pressure method of oiling cars. In the vulcanizing department, each part of the work is done, including besides on tires, work on rubber boots, hot water hoses, bottles, etc. The company makes its own blow-out batches, tire linings, shoes, etc. In the car washing department one powerful Kellog engine and two air compressors capable of generating 400 pounds water pressures against a car are used. The washing of machines sometime runs as high as twenty-six a day. In the repair department all sorts of car machinery is taken out and then shapped a row of eyewear using approved tools for the work. In the car storage department eight automobiles can be stored at a time. The entire plant is kept as neat and clean as it is humanly possible to keep a place of this sort. Mr. Alston employs six workers, each one of whom works with admirable loyalty, and they are all capable men in their field. And the proprietor is still contemplating greater improvements which when installed will make the Alston Tire and Rubber Company's plant stand out as one of the finest in years and was the welcomed guest of his great niece on Avenue A, and other relatives in Princess Anne county. He did not find his brother, Thomas Jefferson Cason, Thomas had joined that "innumerable caravan." Henry Clay is well known in Boston. He has been active in Republican politics there practically all of his life. MILK SERVICE PAGES 7 TO 12 Seventeen Year Old Ohio Slayer Granted Reprieve (By The Associated Negro Press) Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 15.—Governor Donaghey, who, upon a petition of citizens of Ohio and the National Convention of Elks, granted Emanuel Ross, convicted seventeen-year-old slayer, a reprieve of ten days, has added another ten days to the condemned youth's time in order that his attorneys, Alexander Martin and Louise Pridgeon, might perfect an appeal to the Supreme Court of the State. Ross was convicted in circuit and sentenced to death on a charge of first degree murder, but due to his youth, citizens became interested in his case, his counsellor volunteered their services and asked for a stay of execution on the grounds that he should have been tried in the juvenile court instead of the circuit court. This is the first time, according to records available that a 17-year-old youth has been sentenced to death in the State of Ohio. appearance as well as service in the. South. Mr. Alston is chairman of the trustee board of Mt. Olive Baptist Church and also a deacon. He says it certainly is possible and even necessary for a business man to adhere to Christian principles in the conduct of his business. He says he can sleep each night with a clear conscience of having done his duty for every single customer he has served during a day. Mr. Alston says he never dickers or argues with a customer. If a job leaves his shop that for some reason fails to give satisfaction, the customer only has to return it, he says. There will be no argument, and his conscience will be made at once. His conscience is his guide, he declares and the only guarantee the customer needs as well as the only one actually worth while in any business. The filing station is in charge of Mrs. Alston, who, her husband says is the best business partner in the world. When the reporter left, Mr. Alston's parting words were "be sure and thank the public for me." Mr. and Mrs. Alston have two promising sons, one of whom, Leon, the elder, assists his mother and father in the conduct of the business, while George is pursuing a medical course at Hampton Institute. The clipper ship, Rainbow, made one voyage from New York to China and return in six months and two weeks.

He said, "the foolish virgins did not prepare for the future and thus they were denied the privilege of seeing the Bridgeman.

"To every boy in this school there is the chance for some measure of success, the opportunity to prepare himself to become useful. In this fellowmen," the president remarked. A hearty welcome was first given to the new students, extending to them all the privileges and opportunities of the institution. Then those of former years were reminded of the fact that A. & T. College is their school and that they should preserve and perpetuate this goodly heritage. Palmer Memorial Institute Opens Sedalia, N.

Mrs. Addie L. Somet- her.) The subject you have assigned me, is one of vital interest and importance, and one that should be approached with much caution and deep solicitude, because of the wide scope it embraces and the effect it should have upon our missionary activities, as well as the development of church work along the several lines of its mission. I therefore approach the subject with some apprehension, fearing that I may leave unsaid some things vital to the subject under consideration. As I see it are two things of first importance that we must consider in order to deal fairly with the subject: What is a missionary circle? What is prayer? When their meaning is defined, then the relation of one to the other can be easily determined. The missionary circle is that agency in a Baptist church, where a certain number of devout women are together for the eyes purposes of giving to the needy, mentoring the church, and others the community to the extent of their ability; and to the sending of missionaries with the gospel to the heathen lands, and teaching the natives the word of God. Prayer is that means of discourse, or communication, by which we get in touch with Jesus Christ, and make known our wishes and desires. It is by this means we plead and ask for the things needed for ourselves or those about us in whom we are interested. Now taking these two together we need that they are or would be closely related. Then what please should prayer take in missionary circles? It should take the first place. No missionary ought to be formed without first feeling the need for prayer and supplication for guidance and direction. The role wants to be in position to give relief when it is formed. In the early church while Paul was living, the one emphatic missionary lesson he taught was that of sending relief to the brethren; but behind that and before he undertook to send relief he was relying heavily upon prayer. So the missionary activity is, finding the way to send missionaries with the gospel to the foreign field and getting the means for the task. This must be the first through prayer as the first with work and faith. A few years ago not a hundred missionaries of the American speaking people were on the foreign field carrying the "bread of life" to the heathen, now they are numbered by the thousands, and a goodly number among them are of our own kith and kin, blood and following up the well begun works of Lott Carey, Colley, and Boone and Hayes who have missecreated their lives to the ones have the "fallen asleep" in the far off foreign field. In the other others are still holding up the banner of the cross prayer should hold a see. Then prince and place for constancy in the work under all conditions and all circumstances. Prayer is necessary to stimulate and give vin to a work that would lag, and some times dng. But when the pop of LAWYER J. THOMAS NEWSOME AND PHILHARMONIC GLEE CLUB AT SECOND CALVARY Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, a prominent and distinguished attorney of Newport News, Virginia, will deliver an address at the Second Calvary Baptist Church, Sunday evening, September 26th, at 8 p.m. He will be assisted by the Philharmonic Glee. Club of Norfolk, under the direction of Prof. Fulford. The reputation of these singers as musical entertainers is well established. Lawyer Newsome is widely known as a speaker who can entertain an audience eloquently and profitably. Every one is urged to hear him. "He will be introduced by Dr. D. W. Byrd, a prominent physician of this city. In addition there will be rendered a violin selection by Master Reginald W. Davis, age 6, accompanied by his brother Colonius S. Davis, age 8. They are musical prodigies worth hearing. An effort has been made to reach all of the people who are engaged in various professions and enterprises in the city. An invitation is also extended all visitors and friends. Each profession and enterprise will have a special pew reserved for them. The same is true of the visitors and friends. prayer is introduced with earnestness and soul, the work revives and goes forward with new zeal and activity. But for prayer and faith in the work many a missionary circle that started with much promise would now be numbered with things that were forgotten, but through the power of this mighty stimulus, it is quicheful that causes goes forward. In every meeting of the missionary circle, prayer should be an essential element in the opening and closing, sealing the endeavor with the wish that God's blessings will rest upon it. Then finally the word to be said last is *prayer*. When plans are made to enlarge the work; plans to increase the missionary a r m y; plans to enter new territory; plans to raise more money, the thing underlying all is prayer. The reaper goes forth not in his name but in the name of God, success to crown his efforts must come not from human hands as such, but from God, and he speaks at this moment and says: "Not in my power, but by my Spirit." Then if we win we must win because God is pleased with the work. To get his approval we must link up with and attach to the wheels of his chariot and do his biddings with consecration and zeal that is not easily shaken. The place of prayer in the missionary circle is, the first, the middle and the last. The poet has given us a beautiful setting for the place of prayer not only in the missionary circle, but in the life of the church, the work of the convention, the career of the individual while he is in the flesh, and he puts it thus: "Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of He enters heaven with prayer." Four representative bodies constitute the government of the Presbyterian Church. The first is the Sessions of the individual church, consisting of the minister, and congregational representatives or Ruling Elders; the second is the Presbytery, consisting of the minister, and one elder from each church within a given territory; the third is the Synod, composed of the like representatives from each church within a number of Presbyteries; the fourth is the General Assembly, composed of a minister and an elder from each Presbytery within the denomination. Sixteen Presbyteries constituting for Synods give southern colored communicants thirty-two commissioners in the General Assembly. A number of years ago, our Synodical Sabbath School Conventions included among their activities a School of Methods, which is given instruction along all lines of young people's lives. Recently there has been added a Discussion Cless, in which ministers and officers may exchange views on questions connected with their religious From August 23rd through the 29, it was the writer's privilege to attend the Catawba Synodical Sabbath School Convention and School of Methods, at Johnson C.

Zion Church this Sunday morning, September 26, at 11:30 o'clock on the "White Horse or The Open Door." Dr. Walker has gained considerable notice in this section as a profound lecturer and preacher in the past several months, and large crowds are accustomed to hearing him wherever he will sit. He will be the largest large number of local persons will avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing him in this unique subject at Metropolitan Sunday morning. First Baptist Church (Butte Street) Services at the First Baptist Church Sunday morning were an inspiration. A feature of the Sunday school program was the music by the orchestra. A number of teachers who have been out of the city for the summer were back at their post. At the hour for morning services Rev. Bowling prescheduled from the text Matt. 22: 45 subject, "Contrasts between David and Jesus." Holy Communion was administered at 3:30 p. m., at which time five new members were fellowshipshipped into the church. The B. Y. P. U. was entertained by Mr. M. E. Diggs, who addressed the young people on the "Missionary Advance in India," and the Royal Four Quartette which rendered several selections. In the evening Rev. Bowling spoke on "Starling Revelations" a 3600 Mile Trip. This was a deed of interesting account of his trip to the National Baptist Convention which met at Fort Worth, Texas. This was very much enjoyed by the large number that was present. Holy Trinity Baptist (Formerly Berean Baptist) Barney Street The services last Sunday were inspiring and the work is taking on new life under the recent change. While there is a little increase in expense it is hoped that the Christian forces will rally to the cry and lend a hand in Macedonia. The anniversary celebration will take place in October, the response to which will determine the future success of the congregation. Special services will be held this Sunday at 8 p. m., when a sermon and music appropriate to the occasion will be had. S.

Expediency: The polite name for a bit of. crookedness that seems essential to a profit. And yet we doubt if red theories have done more to retard civilization than red tape. The line of least resistance leads downward and the line of most persistence leads upward. The American people have become one of the wealthiest on earth. Do you own your per cent of the aggregate? If not why not? This is a very important matter with each person, whose share of the aggregate wealth must be gagged not by what he earns but by what he saves. Many people have not learned to look upon advertising in the light of the realistic rhymester of an olden time who paused this famous verse on advertising: In large part the public regards advertising as being of possible advantage to the advertiser for which the consumer pays, and yet the facts prove otherwise. Time and again has it been shown that well judged, properly conducted and persistent advertising inures to the benefit not only of the person who attracts attention to his wares in this manner, but also of the community. After interviewing large numbers of distributors as to the economic effects of advertising, a committee of the national distribution conference reports: "Broadly speaking, it would seem that where the advertising creates an increased demand for products of a certain class, a wider distribution of such products—in other words, makes new business, bringing about lessened distribution costs and lessened production costs owing to increased demand—there can be no doubt as to the value of such advertising, not merely to the concerns that pay for it but also to the public that consumes the goods." "Bills and paste" have given way to newspapers and magazines and those "who advertise" are not only wise but altruistic and philanthropic, for by helping themselves they are helping others. The race suffered a great loss in the death of Prof. William Sanders Scarborough, in the seventy-fourth year of his age and after forty-three years of work as a teacher, author and lecturer. He died at Wilberforce University, where his best work had been done; work which gave Wilberforce a reputation and standing it would not otherwise have got and which other schools of ours do not enjoy because they have not been fortunate enough to have such men connected with them. Schools are known by the work of their professors and graduates. Prof. Scarborough was a ripe scholar, but he specialized in Greek, and not only wrote a treatise on "The Birds of Aristophenes" but a Greek grammar, which were acknowledged to be of standard quality by the learned teachers of the world. And he was an indefatigable worker. His half century of activity in the school room and on the lecture platform, with his writings for book publishers and magazines and newspapers, filled up the measure of time and gave him immense pleasure as well as a wide reputation, for Prof. Scarborough was a cheerful soul and had abundant pleasure in living. His good nature and ever present smile made an easy way for him into the affections of all who knew him. All in all, it is not easy to estimate the loss the Negro people have sustained in the death of William Sanders Scarborough. The D. Pender Grocery Company and the Virginia Electric and Power Company have during the past summer given notable examples of the recent tendency of large employers to humanize labor. In August the Pender Company gave its employees and their families an outing to Jamestown, after it had given an excursion-picnic to underprivileged children and their mothers of the city requiring two steamers to carry the crowd to the same place. Since then the Virginia Electric and Power Company has given outings to its employees and their families to Ocean View and Little Bay. Its Benefits Universal Many people have not learned to upon advertising in the light of the real rhymerst of an old time who penned famous verse on advertising: Go forth in haste; with bills and pasts; Proclaim, to all creation, That men are wise who advertise In every generation. In large part the public regards artising as being of possible advantage to advertiser for which the consumer pays, yet the facts prove otherwise. Time again has it been shown that well just properly conducted and persistent advertising inures to the benefit not only of the son who attracts attention to his wards this manner, but also of the community.

It not only serves to foster loyalty, improve efficiency and create goodwill but it naturally has benefits that go a long way toward alleviating our social welfare problems. There is probably nothing in the world that so quickly and positively arouses interest of an employee in the welfare of his employer's business than a like interest manifested by the employer in the employee. And this reciprocal interest reaches farther than the immediate employees and their families, it extends to the general public. That is only natural, human nature responds readily to human consideration. It is said that at present the greatest offset to labor friction has been the increasing tendency of employers to evince a general interest in the welfare of their employees both on and off the job, and to institute practical methods to increase the happiness of the workers. Certainly the cause for discontentment has its main prop knocked out when capital and labor come face to face and consider the problems of each on a mutual basis. When large concerns such as the Pender and the traction companies, who already have the public goodwill and are doing their best to merit it through improved public service, add to this by sharing their profits for the happiness of those who help make the businesses a success, the old-time distrust of corporate wealth fades out. The Florida Devastation I to look realistic unmed this Approximately 1,500 liv erty damage estimated at a lion dollars, tens of thou countless homeless compris toll of destruction exacted fury of the elements loo proximately 1,500 lives lost, image estimated at two hundred dollars, tens of thousands injuries, homeless homeless the strife destruction exacted by the rift the elements loosened up Approximately 1,500 lives lost, a property damage estimated at two hundred million dollars, tens of thousands injured and countless homeless comprise the staggering toll of destruction exacted by the relentless fury of the elements loosened upon the cities of southern Florida Saturday and Sunday. Such terrible devastation coming unheralded upon man, who has not the power to stay it for a fraction of a moment, nor even temper its fury, and sweeping into futility his most hopeful effort to escape its death dealing path, leads the imagination to a point where it founters in its feeble attempt to comprehend the forces of nature. It brings to man a forceful realization of his abject helplessness before a power that lends itself to no other description than the Infinite. The heart throbs of the rest of America strike a spontaneously sympathetic chord for the people of the stricken area of Florida. To the people of Miami—not the nation's playground, but the playground of the nation's plutocrates—of Pensacola and other cities upon which has been laid the heavy hand of hurricane destruction, their fellow Americans will not fail them in this their hour of distress. Prompt and adequate material assistance from the outside is already available wherever needed in the stricken area, and the anguish of the survivors of loved ones may to an extent be assuaged by the knowledge that they have the heart: it sympathy of the American people far and near. Civilized man no longer holds these dreadful visitations from the fury of the elements as Divine manifestations of displeasure against an erring people. Civilized man no longer clings to the belief that relentless holocausts, indescribable devastation of life and property from flames, winds, waves and blching earth are Providential chastisements for man's transgressions. Intelligence has supplanted superstition and brought man to a state where he reasons from cause to effect, thus these appalling catastrophes, even if sometimes inexplicable, need not be mystifying. But down deep into the recesses of our consciousness we sometimes faintly entertain a thought, in spite of our vaunted education and intelligence, that makes us in our bewilderment wonder if there is not some relation between these whosole calamities and man's mounting transgressions, his apparent disdain of all power except that vested in himself. Southern Florida of late has been enjoying a veritable baptism of material prosperity. There the landed plutocrats in their lust for gain have in very conspicuous instances flouted both Divine and statutory law. Defenseless Negroes have been terrorized and driven from their homes by hooded night riders to make way for the crushing heel of vested capital. Less than four months ago, in Miami, the storm shattered city, a group of whites, deliberately and maliciously dynamited and blew to simithereens a Negro schoolhouse, decreeing that on which this building stood and in which underprivileged black urchins sought to learn their three R's should not be dedicated to the unlift of the blacks. Unreported crimes by the hundreds have been committed against the native and defensive Negroes of the state by the foreign and native white gold seekers determined to acquire by the foulest means the little plots of ground owned by these Negroes. The wealth of Miami had so intoxicated its white residents that unwritten edicts went out forbidding Negro chauffers even to drive cars through certain sections of the city. Down deep into the recesses of our consciousness are not our thoughts constrained to dwell for at least a moment on the scriptural pronouncement: "God works in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps on the sea and rides upon the storm"? Norfolk Journal and Guide THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING A Strange Preacher He is a strange preacher indeed. Looked at from almost any angle he is to be de- please angle he is to be described only in striking contrasts. I refer to the Rev. Dr. J. Frank Norris, nationally known fundamentalist and pastor of the First Baptist Church, white, of Fort Worth, Texas. As the whole country knows he shot a man to death, a prominent and wealthy lumber merchant of his city. He is not even to be brought to trial until the November term of court.

Frank Norris, nationally known fundamentalist and pastor of the First Baptist Church, white, of Fort Worth, Texas. As the whole country knows he shot a man to death, a prominent and wealthy lumber merchant of his city. He is not even to be brought to trial until the November term of court. Yet during all these intervening weeks he has been freely coming and going, broadcasting his religious views over his church radio station to the whole world, and preaching twice each Sunday to one of the largest congregations in the bounds of Christendom. Already he has his plans well laid for an intensive evangelistic campaign in several surrounding counties the five weeks leading up to the date he will go on trial. he has been freely coming and going, broadcasting his religious views over his church radio station to the whole world, and preaching twice each Sunday to one of the largest congregations in the bounds of Christendom. Already he has his plans well laid for an intensive evangelistic campaign in several surrounding counties the five weeks leading up to the date he will go on trial. It is to be noted also that he is by no means to be ranked as a scholar, and that he is running counter to Jesus in his attitude toward war, the interpretation of scripture, the grace of tolerance, the obligation of cooperation, etc. His church is out of fellowship with every regular Baptist association below Mason and Dixon line. His great Sunday school uses no literature published by any board, denominational or independent. And yet this man is apparently sincere and fired with a consuming zeal for evangelism and social and moral reform. Like his opposite in the theology and methods, the renowned Dr. Truett of Dallas, Texas, he remains in a small city down on the southern edge of the continent. Yet, by means of his church paper of 65,000 weekly circulation, his powerful radio station and his huge church and Sunday school organization, he reaches more people and wields a greater influence than hundreds of sophisticated men pastoring in great centers at the North and Mid-West. In his home city almost every tenth person you see on the streets or in the stores or working in the factories or serving on the police force is a member or visitor of Dr. Norris' church and passing strange is this other fact. He is a veritable high priest of the ku klux klux, championing its principles and being one of its leading tecturers. Nevertheless, he and his whole church manifest a friendliness to the Negro such as I have seen nowhere south of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He spoke twice before the delegates of our National Baptist Convention meeting in his city, and reciprocated by having two of our nationally known solos to sing for his morning and evening congregations and one of our great preachers to deliver the Sunday evening message to a packed house that applauded both the soloists and the preacher. Following the services scores of this white membership took the pains to shake hands with the colorful visitors and extended them invitations to come again. Such a combination of peculiarity and sincerity, of courage and geniality, of hate and love, of weakness and power, is not en countered every day. One can easily differ with such a man on many points, yet could wish sincerely that there were many more of his kind.

C., News Reports of attacks on young women by male companions on automobile rides are so common that it does seem that, some time, it would occur to girls who value their reputation that invitations to ride with men unknown to them, or of whom they know little, call for preemptive declination. Few girls of sufficient strength to go about alone are so unsophisticated, if they read the newspapers, as not to know that an invitation to ride with a strange man carries with it the suspicion, at least of the possibility of sinister motives. It is a popular method of approach. That being so, the acceptance of the invitation may be, and often is, accounted acquiescence in the sinister purpose. Hence, no matter how innocent the girl may be, she is, in a measure responsible for what may follow. The deprived males who lay in wait and lure the unsuspecting girls, deserve whatever may happen to them. But young women so lacking in common prudence, who are lured by the spirit of adventure to take a chance, should know that in addition to loss of reputation and all that it entails, with the embarrassment attending disagreeable publicity, they are also losing public sympathy. That is not the result of loss of respect for women nor any lack of desire or purpose to defend and protect female virtue. Obviously it is due to the failure of girls old enough to know better to assist in their own protection. If they insist on daring adventure and lose, they will suffer with less sympathy. In fact their innocence will be questioned. Reports of attacks on young women by male companions on automobile rides are so common that it does seem that, some time it would occur to girls who value their reputation that invitations to ride with me unknown to them, or of whom they know little, call for peremptory deciliation. Five girls of sufficient strength to go about alone are so unsophisticated, if they read the newspapers, as not to know that an invitation to ride with a strange man carries with it the suspicion, at least of the possibility of sinister motives. It is a popular method of approach. That being so, the acceptance of the invitation may be, and often is, as counted acquiescence in the sinister purpose. Hence, no matter how innocent the girl may be, she is, in a measure responsible for what may follow. The depraved males who live in wait and lure the unsuspecting girls, deserve whatever may happen to them. By young women so lacking in common prudence, who are lured by the spirit of adventure to take a chance, should know that a addition to loss of reputation and all that it entails, with the embarrassment attending disagreeable publicity, they are also losing public sympathy. That is not the result of loss of respect for women nor lack of desire or purpose to defend and protect female virtue. Obviously it is due to the failure of girls old enough to know better to assist in their own protection. they insist on daring adventure and lose, the will suffer with less sympathy. In fact the innocence will be questioned. Why Strain At The Gnat? From the Newport News Star They say that when Elder Micheaux was arraigned before the court for allowing white people to attend his Gospel meeting get converted, and be baptized by him, was charged with disobeying the law as the segregation of the races, and he replied that where the law is being violated down on Warwick avenue and the other streets where the whites mix daily with the Negro harlots, who are a disgrace to the city. There are two kinds of men: Those who think the world is going to the dogs, and those who are too busy to worry.

The grey-hooded evening going. In my heart grey greece are flying, Grey thoughts arising. Arising like a dark flood lying O'er me like a strangling live thing. Yet I love grey greece and greeter sky O'er leaden lagoon water. And in my heart a chill wind's sigh. And grey thoughta trooping after. For I know white greece tomorrow, And the sun will shine. And grey wind blowing away my sorrow. "ON THE TRAIL, OF NEGRO FOLK SONGS" by Dorothy Scarborough. Published by The Harvard University Press Cambridge, Mass. Price $3.50. I must confess to being somewhat late in reviewing this book. I have been deterred by the fact that it has no index and one has a right to dread a book of research that is not indexed. However, once the first plunge is taken all dread disappears. The book is written in a sprightly, entertaining manner, and if one has to index it oneself, so much the greater familiarity with the context. Wisely, it does not deal with the Spirituals but confuses itself to less familiar material though Talley, Odum and Johnson and others have been over a large part of Miss Scarborough's field. The volume contains 203 songs, 106 of them with the music, and many variations. The author has been years making the collection. She tells of how she has "loafed on side steps, hung guilefully over garden fences, broiled before cook stoves and ironing boards." She went into colored churches and colored homes, she even beguiled old church members to sing long forbidden and forgotten reels. She so bullied the students of Baylor University, Waco, Texas, that they facetiously declared she had arranged that they should not pass their finals unless they procured new folk songs for her. Evidently she enjoyed her search. "If weary financiers but knew the fun there is in it," she declares, "they would quit their desks to go in search of songs." And if they cannot go themselves she suggests that they endow chairs for folk songs in the universities. "There is no closed season, though if collectors do not hurry up the season will be closed forever as far as many precious old songs are concerned." The chapter on children's songs is slight. Miss Scarborough had difficulty in finding many. She has not, "Arms, arms, arms around me, pray little sissy will ye marry me," that we hear in New York. Her reels are the newest material to me, and she has a number of good work songs. But it is the presence of the music that makes the book not only a repository for the folk lore student but a delightful thing for all of us to have. Here are over a hundred melodies. We can dance and play and work to them. How delightful to teach a child to hammer while he sings, "Who build de ark?" Noah build it, cut his timber down." The chapters tell of Negro ballads, dance songs or rechts, children's game songs, songs about animals, work-songs, railroad songs and blues. There is even a chapter on the Negro's part in transmitting the traditional songs and ballads. Miss Scarborough has done much for her section of the country. When a Negro chorus appended on the platform of Baylor University to sing folk music it was greeted with a riot of enthusiasm. After repeated encores, the program was allowed to continue only if the Negroes returned and sang again at the last. One is grateful for all Miss Scarborough does. But when she speaks of "awakened interest in Negro problems of education and service" and in illustration notes that Carnegie Hall was lately packed to hear singers from Hampton and Tuskegee, one is amused. The Fisk Jubilee Singers awakened such interest in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, nearly sixty years ago. Hundreds of thousands of people in the North knew the Spirituals before this century dawned, and they knew them because of the white Northern teachers who went into Southern Negro schools and ostracism. They had a beautiful volume of Spirituals at Caloum Colored school twenty years ago. Miss Scarborough had to study at Cambridge to find out what was at her back door. But she has generously given the Negro his due, and we rejoice at her help in bringing him into his own. MARY WHITE OVINGTON I have just completed a lecture itinerary extending as far as the ig as twin cities at the head of the Mississippi river. When one travels over so much territory and looks in upon the habits of so many people, he is apt to indulge his egotism to the extent of supposing that his twin cities the head of the Mississippi river. When one travels over so much territory and looks in upon the habits of so many people, he is apt to indulge his egotism to the extent of supposing that his observations and reflections might interest others. This was a flying trip occupying but nine days and seven lectures, or as some cynic might be inclined to say, one lecture with seven local variations. Wheeling, West Virginia, was my first stop. The relations between the race are more nearly on the level in West Virginia than in any other state of the union. If there is any disposition to doubt this judgment, I can only say that it appears so to me, after wide observations in all parts of the country. It is not unusual to note two cronies, one white and one black, chewing hacoce off the same plug and drinking something out of the same bottle. They ride side by side in the same railway coach, check by jole, as hale fellows, well met. In New England, I have seen occupants of a joint settee on railway coach seemingly as far apart in feeling and spirit, as if separated by infinite space. But in this mountain state of the South it is quite different. There is a comradeship among mountaineers which even the color line cannot affect. West Virginia has no jim crow cars and no disfranchisement on racial grounds. Separate schools constitute the sole legal discrimination on the basis of race and color. The public school fund is administered fairly between the races. The Negro state college is a model for other states to copy. With this general good impression of the state, I was amazed to find that Wheeling is so far behind the other cities of size so far as the attitude towards the Negro contingency is concerned. The colored citizens had just enjoined the board of education to prevent them crowding their children into an inadequate and unsafe building. The Negro population stood firm in the determination not to send their children to school unless and until fair provision is made, according to the requirements of the law of the state. Very few colored men are employed in the mills and factories, although Wheeling is one of the most active manufacturing points in the Pittsburgh region. The Negro population is about two thousand, and shows little or no tendency to increase. The colored churches are about the only centers of community welfare. Fortunately, the three leading churches have progressive and wise spiritual leadership which leaves the community not without hope. My next stop was Gary, Indiana, the miracle city which sprung up, as it were over night. There are fifteen thousand Negroes, out of a total population of eighty thousand. Every body A Fear In The South To the New York Herald Tribune: I read with interest the letter of Mr. Thomas Dawley on September 2, and I think he should know that no Southern white woman, even in daylight dares walk in the country unarmed out of calling distance of a house for fear of Negro attack. I am a Virginian and have lived in various parts of the South, but this is such a well known fact that Mr. Dawley can verify it by asking any Southern person of his acquaintance. Whether this condition is due to the agitation of the "carpet-buggers" after the Civil War I do not know, but it is interesting to note that in Jamaica, where I spent last winter and where the blacks far outnumber the whites, such a thing as an attack upon a white woman is unheard of. It is true, as Mr. Dawley says, that during the Civil War many of the plantations were left in charge of faithful Negro servants who discharged their duties with utmost honor and "felicity while their masters were at war. But these were the "house servants," selected for their superiority and intelligence, and were infinitesimal in number compared with those who worked the plantations. The Negro problem of the South has not begun as yet to be comprehended by the North. THELMA CUDLIPP GROSVENOR Washington, Conn. Sept. 2, 1926. Unreasonable Fear In The South Unreasonable Fear In The South Dr. Kelly Miller has just concluded a lecture itinerary through the mid-west, where he carefully observed the trend of racial relations. In West Virginia he found these relations more nearly on the level than in any other state of the union. Among the mountainers there is a comradeship, says Dr. Miller, which even the color line cannot efface. Dr. Miller finds the Negro a big factor of the payrolls of Gary, Indiana. The Negroes in Chicago he sees as "the most energetic and self-assertive and progressive" in the United States. On through Milwaukee, St. Paul and other cities, Dr. Miller's tour course carried him. finds work in the steel mills. The Negro pay roll amounts to something like fifteen million dollars a year. Many of the far sighted ones are purchasing homes, but the great bulk of this immense income passes through the fingers of the recipients, like water through a sieve. The mass of the population is not alive to their great opportunities. A professional class has sprung up in a few years. There are thirty or forty colored school teachers. The schools are not completely segregated, but where the great bulk of the pupils are colored, they are assigned a teacher of their own race. The Gary school system is far famed for its vital relation to the life which the pupil is to live and the work which he is to do. The lawyers and physicians are quite adequate to take care of the professional needs of the population. Mr. Hueston, the elected justice of the peace, was out of the city during my visit, but I had the good fortune to sit in his court, presided over by Mr. Alexander, my host, who was a signed charge during the absence of his principal. Gary is a city in the making. The Negroes here have perhaps a better basis of work than in any other city with like numbers. It will be interesting to watch the outcome of Negro life and society in this pioneer community as it develops under wise guidance and leadership. I lectured on Friday night and preached a lay sermon in the First Baptist Church on Sunday morning. If you ask me what a lay sermon is, I can only answer: "come and hear." Now I must needs pass thru Chicago on my way to Milwau- To the Editors of The New York Herald Tribune: In your issue of Sept 11th, Thelma Cudipp Grosvenor, a Southern white woman, says that white women in the South dare not go unarmed out of calling distance from their houses, for fear of Negro attack. It requires a second look and a second thought to show up the weakness of a statement like that. For example, she does not say that Southern women never go about the country without being attacked; she says that they do not go without fear. Of course, a Southern woman knows when she is afraid, better than any one one can tell her,—so that the statement somewhat "begs the question." Even if it can be shown that tens of thousand of Southern white women are alone with colored men, for hours and even days, without ever being attacked, still that would not prove that they are not afraid. All, therefore, that logic can do in such case, is to show the unreasonableness of this fear,—if it exists. In the South there are more than five million Negro males, many of them in the closest contact with the more than fifteen million white females. In the last five years the number of criminal assaults (including all the alleged and all the "attempted" assaults) by these males against these females averages only 12 a year. In a community where all the officers of law are white, all power in the hands of whites, and all newspaper reports made by the whites, it is reasonable to suppose that every case of violent attack by a black man against a white women is brought to light. For present calculations we will not discredit any of these reports, we will not haggle over the fact that many of them prove, on investigation, to be plain cases of compromise which accidentally came to the knowledge of the white males. We will let the record stand just as the white masculine South reported it to the world: that where there are five million Negro males in all sorts of private and public contact with several times that number of white females, five years can record only 60 cases of rape, plus attempts at rape. Where else in human kce. The Howard University alumni were holding a meeting on Sunday afternoon, and sent a delegation to Gary to invite me to be present. Needles to say, I was glad to comply, and to say a hopeful word for the new administration just beginning under new racial auspices. I must not be beguiled to attempt to speak of the Chicago Negro in general. I must reserve this for some future release. I will, however, stop long enough to say that the Negros in the windy city are the most energetic, self assertive and progressive Negroes in the United States. I am prepared to prove this assertion in an appropriate release. But I can tarry but a night. Milwaukee is the next step. There are about seven thousand Negroes in a total population of half a million. Hitherto, the race has called little or no attention to itself. There was no race problem. But of late as the numbers increase, and are being segregated, or congregated in localized area, the problem grows apace. My lecture was staged under the auspices of the National Negro Urban League, which fact in itself indicates the direction in which the racial wind is blowing. The colored contingent of Milwaukee for all of the past years has made perhaps as little or less impression upon the outside world as any like sized group in any of the Northern or Western cities. But a new life is being quickened among the population. Negro lawyers, doctors, ministers and social workers are putting Milwaukee on the map. Once upon a time the city of Pabst sent a Negro to the legislature. I was surprised to learn that the second man in rank in the tuberculosis hospital for the city and county is a colored man. Keep your eye upon Milwaukee. I found while in the Northwest that the industrial opportunities are being restricted more and more to white men. In this section everybody is a working man. The whites are sufficiently numerous to fill all of the important places in industry. Henry Ford in placing his factory in St Paul, had to insist upon giving the Negro his proportional share against the protest of the white laboring sentiment. I heard that the same feeling was growing in Omaha, Des Moines, and throughout the whole region. association can this record be duplicated? When has it ever happened,—when will it ever happen,—that five million Southern white men, taken at random, will live five years in the South with only 60 cases of rape by white men against colored women? Let us subject it to another light: there are much fewer than five million white men in the city of New York, and very much fewer than fifteen million white women in the city of New York. If the court records are examined, it will be found that these men commit, not in five years but in one year, many more than 60 crimes of rape against these women. The white women of New York City should be in mortal fear of the white men! The investigator would doubtless find that in any one Southern state there are more cases of rape by white against white, or by white against black, in any one year, than this whole number charged to black against white in all the South for five years. The FEAR, then, is not based on the actual danger or frequency of the attacks, but it is due to the American color psychopathy, caused by the play-up of this insignificant record of the black men. This 60 attacks by colored men got more feet of newspaper space during these five years than was given to any 600 or 6,000 similar attacks by white men. And we fear the bogies we have built. Besides, frankly, the Negro is an oppressed people, especially in the South: men, as well as women, readily conceive fear of those whom they oppress. In the British West Indies the blacks are relatively not oppressed, and consequently a handful of English whites among a multitude of the blackest blacks have no fear. So far we have granted the existence of this alleged fear. But we know white women who have lived for years in the South, but escaped the enthralment of its color-psychosis, who have gone where they pleased thru the country and among the black, without fear.
