GETS OPEN DOOR IN AFRICA
Dr. Graham Secures New Policy To Negro Missionaries
STRONG PLEA HEARD
Rev. Dr. A. A. Graham, Corresponding Secretary of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention, who sailed from New York for Le Zoute, Belgium, September 8, in company with Rev. Dr. O. J. Allen, with Rev. Dr. O. J. Allen, a member of First Calvary Baptist Church, this city, to attend the World Conference on Missions and returned to the States he the S. S. Acquitania, Friday, October 22, relates a vivid and gripping story of his experiences on the trip and discusses most informatively the relation of the American Negro not only to foreign missions but to world politics.
By Dr. A. A. Graham, Corresponding Secretary of Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention
the purpose of the World Conference on African Missions at Leuven, Belgium, was to secure a collective opinion and a uniform program for all the missionary agencies doing work in Africa. My main object in attending, to use my efforts to try to seize an open door to Negro American Missions in Colonial Africa, including Central Africa, the South African Union or Central Africa, and the Transvall. To a my encouraging extent my efforts were crowned with success. I were a very stubborn and persistent fight, the Conference finally fought, a section in its code of relations bearing especially on his question, and granting the attention for an open door raised on the issue.
This section reads as follows:
Committee on American Negroes and Africa
The Conference with the information at its disposal, believes the following to be a true statement of the facts relative to this subject.
Findings as to Facts
1. Although there are no legislative restrictions specifically directed against the American Negro, most African Governments are either opposed to or place difficulties in the way of the sending of American Negroes to Africa. Opposition to the sending of American Negroes to Africa is due mainly to three factors:
(a) The unrest caused by the so-called Pan-African and Carry movements.
(a) The antagonism to Government of certain American Negroes in Africa in past years with resulting serious disturbances in some cases.
(c) The failure of certain American Negroes in Africa in past years.
2. Most African missionaries consulted, owing to the effect of one or more of the masses above named, do not present the time anews for pressing upon governments such a general moral policy in policy, and mean the sending of a large number of American Negroes to Africa in the immediate future, although strongly believing that affairs should be made so that the number of such missionaries may be gradually and steadily increased.
American Negroes In Africa
4. There are at present working in various parts of Africa, American Negroes of the highest character and great usefulness, whose fine spirit and devoted work will in the course of a few years greatly increase the respect in which American Negro missionaries are held and make the securing of permission for the entrance of additional colleagues easier.
5. There is a natural and invaluable desire on the part of American Missionary Societies, both white and Negro, to send additional American Negroes as missionaries to Africa—Gareby the educated Negro an outlet for his zeal to render unselfish service, and aiding in what would seem a natural and important way the cause of African evangelization and education.

TWO DIE FROM GAS POISON OF STOVE
Find Bodies Of Girl And Young Woman In Home
(Special Correspondence.)
Washington, D. C., Nov. 8—Catherine Mercer, 11, 20 P street, northeast, came to her death from monoxide poisoning. November 6, due to defective flue, a coroner's jury held Monday. No inquest was held in the case of Mary Stewart, 21, of the same address, who also died from the same cause. Coroner J. Ramsey Nevit, decided that it was not necessary.
Dies In Gas Filled Room
About 9:30 o'clock Saturday evening, Mrs. Gertrude Mercer found her daughter, Catherine, and the Stewart woman who lived in her home, dead in a gas filled house.Catherine was lying on the floor in a room joining the kitchen. Mary Stewart was lying on a table in the kitchen. The Casualty Hospital ambulance was summoned and the body was removed. Dr. Anthony Sidone. The testimony at the inquest showed that the flue was choked with soot and there was no way for the gas fumes to escape. An instantaneous water heater in the kitchen was burning. The gas fumes came from this heater.
Bodies Discovered
When Mrs. Mercer returned home from the Grace Dodge Hotel where she is employed, she found the house filled with gas fumes. She ran into the street screaming and Lewis Lombardi entered the house with her and discovered the bodies.
Two other children in the front room escaped death.

FOUR KILLED IN
AUTO SMASHUP
(By Associated Negro Press)
Franklinton, N. C. 8—
Two Negroes and nine white persons were killed and two whites were injured here Thursday evening when H. F. Probst, white, driving a touring car, drove into a Cadillac sedan driven by Benjamin Green. The dead are Probst and Lena Wright, a young white woman, laying Hays, a companion of Green and Green. Green, it appears, had sought unsuccessfully to avoid hitting the Wright woman, and in trying to turn out of her way, was run into by the driver driven by Probst.

RACE VOTE SPLIT IN NORTH
Returns Of Elections Show Many Turn To Democrats
KNIFE REPUBLICANS
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Nov. 9—Gauged by his acquisition of new elective offices the American Negro voter gained but little in the great campaign which has just closed. In many states from New York to California he was found striking out in an effort to work his way into the legislative councils of the states, but save in those districts where he was already intrenched, his success was entirely negligible. Second to his aspiration for office was his fight against segregation measures, in which he was more successful, and third was his effort to elect white candidates friendly to him. In this latter respect the returns show him to be not much better off than he was.
In Massachusetts and in California, two of the most widely separated states, the Negro vote registered most strongly against segregation. In Massachusetts is was against the segregation of Negroes in the departments at Washington. Negro voters took over the press, press offices, and Dutton's the polls for this evil which Coolidge overlooks. In California the segregation measures defeated were local issues.
Elect Nine Legislators
Colored America elected nine state legislators Tuesday, five in Illinois, two in Missouri, one in California and one in New York. St. Louis also won a justice of the peace, as did Gary, Ind, and two constables must be checked to the credit of the Missouri town. In the states of Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Massachusetts and Oklahoma, there were enough Negroes who voted the Democratic ticket, or remained from the polls by disgusted indifference, to have changed the results in favor of Republicans. Disgusted indifference did more among Negroes than voting Democratic, but in all of the states mentioned, there were appreciable numbers who voted for the Democratic candidate for United States Senators for personal reasons.
In Chicago, Ed Wright, Second ward political leader, fought for his friend of the Illinois Commerce Commission, senator-elect Frank L. Smith, and came out eloquently.
Warren B. Douglas and George T. Kersey were sent to the state legislature from the Third district. Kersey is also committeeman of the Third Ward, and is developing a great following in the city. From the first district Shadrack B. Turner, the former lawyer partner of Judge Albert B. George and Charles Griffin, man were reelected. Adolbert H. Roberts was reelected to the state senate, the only Negro senator in American. Roberts, Kersey, Turner, Griffin are all of the Ed Wright camp. Douglas is a Deenee man, and more inclined toward the eclipsed political leader, Oscar DePriest.
St. Louis Elects Six
Six Negroes were elected to office in St. Louis. By electing attorney John A. Davis as a member of lower house of Missouri legislature, two colored men will be members of the state's law-making body. Hon. Walthall M. Moore who also was elected to that body, will begin his third term in that body.
Judge Crittenden E. Clark, who went over in fine style, will begin his second term as justice of the peace, in the Fourth District. When first elected to that office, four years ago, he was the first of his race to be so honored in Missouri; therefore, he had several contests which lingered along thru all the state courts, before he finally won out. He was re-elected "his record."
or on
Langton Harrison and Ira Dorsy, who were also successful, will begin their second terms as constable of the Fourth and Fifth districts, respectively, while William A. (Billy) Morant, will begin his first term as constable of the Fourth district.
All the above named made their race on the G. O. P. ticket. (Continued on page 8)
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1926

C., appeared before the Budget Commission here today and presented a request for expansion, maintenance, and expenditure of the A. & T.

INTERRACIAL AID SAVES TEXAS BOY
Condemned To Die, Gets Retrial, Then An Acquittal
Houston, Tex., Nov. 8—An interesting case of interracial cooperation, in which the life of an innocent Negro was saved, culminated in a few days ago. Some months back a grave crime was committed against a woman in this city, who declared that a tall Negro was the offender. A colored boy, fresh from the country, who answered the description in a general way, was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. The Negro believed him innocent and brought the case to the attention of the Interracial Commission.
The Commission also had doubts about the matter and took action at once. They delegated two colored men to go to the jail and interview the boy. On receipt of the report of these men, which convinced that the there was grave doubt as to the prisoner's guilt, the Commission employed a lawyer, went into court, and asked a rehearing and change in venue. Their plen was granted and in the second trial the boy was sentenced to ninety-nine years of imprisonment.
Still the Commission was not satisfied as to his guilt and secured another trial, making bond for the prisoner in the sum of $2500. A few days ago the third trial took place and the boy was declared not guilty and was set free.
This is but one illustration of this
matter, among the essays of the commission
in this city.
GIVES JEALOUSY AS MOTIVE FOR SLAYING WIFE
Woman From Whom He Was
Estranged Killed When
She Declines To Return
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, D. C., Nov. 9—coroner's jury Monday or ordered Charles Henry Hawkins, 27, 1504 Thirteenth street, northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the fatal shooting of his wife, Catherine Hawkins, 23, at her home, 1718 Thirteenth street, northwest, last Saturday night.
Hawkins shot his wife twice with a 88 caliber pistol which he hurriedly only a few hours earlier to the Seventh street store for this purpose. The first shot was fired in the hallway in the basement of the home. The second shot was fired as the wife fired. She fell a few feet away in the dining room where her mother, sisters and their child were sitting.
Jealousy Was Motive
Jealousy is the motive for the killing. Hawkins made a confession in which he charged his wife with infidelity. The mother of Catherine Hawkins, Mary Dyson, and her sister, Margaret Booth, testified at the inquest that there was no quarrel between Hawkins and his wife preceding the shooting. The couple had been separated for some time, but he occasionally visited his wife. Saturday night he was at her home awaiting her return from work. When she came in after sitting in the dining room with the family for a few minutes, he asked his wife to step into the hall. They talked a few minutes. Then, the first pistol shot was heard. The second shot was fired as she ran back into the dining room.
At the No. 2 police station he told Detective Lowrey that he killed his wife when she told him she "Didn't give a damn whether I went or whether I came or whether I stayed." He accused here with running around with a man whom he knew as Leroy.
FIVE DAYS ADDED TO DRIVE
Chest Fund Workers To Go Through To Sunday Night
HOPE FOR BIG CLOSE
The results of the returns that have come in from the public schools representing as they do a complete cross-section of the Negroes' economical and social life of Norfolk, emphasize again the already obvious fact that there is no great financial depression or any greater lack of humanity and social vision than there was last year, because, the tabulation of the figures here below indicate that the schools through their children gave more cash money than they gave a year ago.
How They Contributed
In almost every case the contribution from the student was as large, and in many cases larger, than last year's. Leading the list in cash and pledges was the Senior High School, with $138.99, $73.40 of which was cash. The Junior High School was second, with $136.45, $70.99 in cash. The Grammar schools in cash, and pledges, and led all the schools in cash subscribers, with $123.35 in cash and pledges, $89.85 in cash. The J. C. Price School reported $122.69, $57.69 cash. Armstrong School reported $115.64, $59.64 cash. Lott Carey School, $100, $50 cash. Abraham Lincoln School, $80 cash, — no pledges. Titustown, $32.47, $12.47 cash. Campestella, $12.47 cash. J. H. Hammond, $8.99 cash. J. S. Small wood, $10.78. Reports have not been received from the Douglas Park, and Dunbar Graded Schools.
Swastika Gives $100.00
Cash contribution of $100 was made by the Swastika Club, an organization made up of many of the women most active in educational and social life of the Negro community. The officers of this club are: Mrs. A. N. Diggs, president; Mrs. D. W. Ryyd, vice president; Mrs. William Rich, treasurer; Mrs. Ida Paey, secretary. Of the 2100 people contributing last year, less than 500 of them have contributed this year. Another evidence of the fact that the campaign was not so thoroughly organized. This lack of adequate organization resulted from the fact that the campaign director, was engaged only one week before the campaign actually began, as compared to three or four weeks to the marshalling the campaign. It is humanly impossible for any one to completely organize a campaign in a city as large as Norfolk in a week's time, unless he be superman.
Seat of The Trouble
These facts as set down give the campaign committee information as to the seat of the trouble. The people are here. They have the vision and milk of human kindness. As an evidence, they gave last year. They have not been seen this year. It is now up to the campaign committee to so increase the number and activity of its campaign personnel so as to reach in these remaining days the 1500 of stockholders whose interest and sympathy in and for the participating agencies and people and the unprivileged members of our society group for whom they are created to serve.
Now is the time for the sons and daughters of Norfolk and Negro citizens generally to hear the cry of the uninformed and unchaperoned traveling public, of those incapacitated by age, of those uneducated, of the broken families, of those otherwise destitute, of the boys and girls who seek wholesome recreation and need thrown around their correctional influences, of the unmarried mother, above any other sound.
Protest "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Film Being Made
(By Associated Negro Press)
Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 8—As usual the South is up in arms against a public expression which is apt to reveal it in its trivial light. Condemning the story of "The Duke Tom's Cabin" as a "tark imitation to the South," members of the Bedford Forrest Church of the United Daughters of the Confederacy have proclaimed the filming of the story in Memphis and along the Mississippi river. Several colored actors are to take part in this film, the principal role of which was once allotted to Charles Gillin.

Union ScoresEarlyTo Defeat Strong Squad of Va. Seminary 6-0
Before a colorful array of loyal fans, lustily cheering and chanting various college odes, Gardner, right end of the Pawing Panthers, of Union grabbed a lucky forward pass out of the air, hurled by Breaux, and raced 40 yards for a touchdown, winning a hard fought and spectacular game from the Demon Deacons, of Va. Seminary here last Monday.
Union's Chance Cones
The catching of this pass by Gardner, early in the first period gave Union her first chance of taking this tilt from the heavy pounding Seminary eleven. Once in the second quarter, when Union intercepted a Seminary pass on the latter's 15 yard line and two thrusts at the forward wall placed the ball on the 8 yard line, was the Panthers only other chance of scoring. No one knows whether Union would have tallied again or not, because Father Time stepped in and played a trump card, thus ending the half, with the ball in Union's possession on Seminary's 8 yard line. But before this hall was over, the Demon Deacon's launched a drive, taking the ball on their 30-yard line and literally swept Union down the field, making five consecutive first downs, with Moore and Bumble Burrow serving as the big guns in thisious play, which the Panthers back against the wall. At this point, Seminary frustrated her chance of scoring a touchdown, when Wheedle attempted a pass from Union's 6 yard line, where the ball was resting, but this effort to tally well glimmering when the pass was grounded in the end zone giving the Richmond delegation the oval on the 20 yard line.
Coming back in the third period, Union and Seminary battled on even terms, both garnering two first downs, but in the first stanza, the Deacons made another honest attempt to score on the Panthers. Unleashing another pile driving attack that swept the red and steele machine before it and driving the Hucules' team back down the field again, Seminary had another chance to score.

Judge Bonham Directs Verdict Against Lexington County In Will Allen Case.
Lexington, Nov. 9—Adger Allen, Negro, in behalf of the estate of Will Allen, was given a directed verdict for $2,000 against Lexington county Monday afternoon by Judge M. L. Bonham, presiding at the court of common pleas here.
The suit against Lexington county was the result of the lynching of Will Allen, Negro, which occurred August 23, 1921, near the Newberry-Lexington county lines. Will Allen shot and killed Noah Frick, a white man of the Chapin section, and was discovered hiding in a ditch the following day, and shot to death.
Suit was brought to recover damages guaranteed in lynching under the constitution of 1896. The case was tried once before and resulted in a verdict for the county, but the plaintiff was granted a new trial.
The case was called early Monday and consumed the entire day. Counsel for the plaintiff made a motion for a directed verdict, which Judge Bonham granted.
Third Period Battle
The Lynchburg team collected five first downs in this frame, but another forward pass incomplete in the end zone near the end of the game made this second drive count for naught. In this second barrage, Moore and Brown again, proved to be the main offensive weapons, with Watson, Davis and Wheedle bringing up the rear for second honors. Moore and Wheedle scored on the ground gainers and accounted for practically all of the first downs registered against Union.
Ground Gainers For Union
For Union, McFarland, Breaux and Shields turned out to be the chief ground gainers, with Breaux getting valuable yardage on end runs that caught Seminary off balance. The Union forward line of defense, at times was like much tissue paper against the hard and fast driving of Moore and Brown, while Seminary's line proved to be more consistent, holding the Panthers to four scattered first downs, while the Deacon forwards aided their backs in piling up twelve. The entire Seminary line functioned well, with Polk, Tucker and Scott featuring. These men on the right side of the line, placed nearly everything Union sent over this flank, while the work of Hoyle, Jeffries and Jackson stood up well under some heavy charging.
Union received the kick and after two stabs at the line, Breaux attempted a pass, which was incomplete and he punted to Seminary on the next down. Seminary getting the ball attempted to advance by the same means but failed. Wheden attempted two (Continued on Page Five)

FARM AID AGENTS MEET
Virginia Supervisors Discuss Rural Problems
FROM 30 COUNTIES
(Special to the Journal and Guide) Hampton Institute, Va. With the emphasis of the conference laid upon a "food and feed production program" and on methods in aiding farmers to better not only their crops but also home conditions thru adherence to this program and through demonstrations and exhibits, the four-day conference of farm-and-home demonstration agents of Virginia, held at Hampton Institute, closed on Friday, Nov. 5, Mr. J. B. Pierce, a pioneer in demonstration work in Virginia and now field agent in charge of extension work among Negroes in nine Southern states, had general supervision.
"Live At Home" Program
In opening the meeting, Mr. Pierce said, "I have been greatly encouraged. We can see signs that agents are alive to what is before them. Each year we come to Hampton to give an account of the work done and to make plans for the coming year. In the early days of extension work, our presiding officer of the home' system of farming, and we have stressed this idea through all the years, making the money crop our secondary aim.
In welcoming the farm and home agents, Major Allen Washington, Commandant of Cadets, said, "I do not know of any group I would rather welcome to Hampton than you, because back in the counties from which you come, you are deserving your lives in helping to better the condition of some one else.
Food and Feed Plan
John R. Hutcheson, State Director of Extension Work for Virginia, speaking the first day, laid special emphasis on the food and feed program, believing it to be the wisest solution of the present serious situation which has resulted from over-production of cotton. If the average farmer, acquainted with Hutcheson's advice, enough food for his family and feed for his livestock, he cannot then over-produce cotton or tobacco, and he is assured a living for his family.
Need of Better Marketing
Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton, said that there is a particular need to develop the marketing end of farming and that cooperation is always for the good of all concerned. With the title "Demonstrations that demonstrate" and "Education Experiments" Dr. C. Chambers, Field Agent, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, showed the agents the need for simplicity in exhibits at fairs.
Among other important speakers at the conference were Mrs. M. Davis, State Home Agent, who emphasized the decided improvement in exhibits at the State Fulfil due to the work of the home demonstration agents, and awarded prizes for securing the best exhibits to the local home agents, Mrs. M. G. Allen of Hanover county and Mrs. M. E. Sydnor of Halifax county. Other speakers for the women's section meetings include Mrs. Cecowan, food specialist Miss Eldred, over clothing specialist, Miss Halle Hughes, State Girl's Club Agent, and Miss Julia Connon of Better Homes in America, of which Herbelieves the movement she represents to be the cement between the various other organizations for rural home betterment. Better Homes i n America, of which Herbert Hoover is chairman, will she, said, cooperate with all other social agencies in the rural field.
Mr. W. P. Moore, Assistant Extension Director, directed, that there is not, a single piece of land owned by the company. Time, cannot be profitably applied. Other members of the men's section included Mr. Chas, Seitz, Agricultural, Engineer from Blacksburg, and Mr. C. A. Montgomery, State Boy's Club) Agent. Various members of the staff of the agricultural department of the Institute contributed technical information. Included in these were Mr. Eldt, instructor in Horticulture and Mr. F. S. Mack, instructor in Poultry bandry.

My Dear Friends:
After my attack of Flu I was thin, rundown and weak. I had a sallow complexion, my checks were sunk in and I was continually troubled with gas on my stomach. I felt stuffy and had lost my appetite. I had read that McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets and decided to give them a trial. At once, I began to pick up an appetite, my checks filled out and my complexion became healthy looking and I gained 15 pounds in six weeks and am very thankful for what McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets did for me.
Miss Alberta Rogers, 264 W. Centre Gorda St., Decatur, IL.
To take on weight, grow strong and vigorous, to fill out the hollows in cheeks and neck, try McCoy's God Liver Oil Compound Tablets for 30 days. 60 tablets—60 cents at druggists everywhere. If they don't give you wonderful help in 30 days, get your money back—you be the judge. But be sure and ask for McCoy's, the original and genuine.

By P. BERNARD YOUNG

foree, Ohio, Nov, 6—The Bisons
eame’ back today to the West that
was-theit’s to roam a half century
"ego and found eleven Bulldogs
flaunting the Green and Gold of
Wilberforce fighting furiously to
hurl back the chalenge for_ su-
premacy that the Bisons of How-
card University, undefeated claim-
“ants for national honors, presented.
“An avalanche of penalties and the
stubbornness of defense offered by
“both teams nullified any scoring’
chances in the first chapter of this
dramatic. struggle upon which
hinged the decision of Bast-Weet
gridiron. supremacy and national
championship aspirations. But
with devastating suddenness How-
-ard began a rally in the dawning
minutes of the second half that be-
-wildered the Ohio machine by the
‘diversity and precision of the at-
tack and before a halt was called
a.7-0. victory had come as a result
of a sustained drive that was born
a precious yards away from the
goal line that Wilberforce for two
furiously-fought quarters had
kept inviolate. .
The Victory Drive
In the glory of an autumn mid-|
afternoon the two teams clashed,
znd though Howard's heavy line
and boring backs achieved victory
in the third quarter, this was un:
certain until the final gun cracked
the dim atmosphere of approaching
dusk, For a while apparently:
evenly matched, and failing to
fonction normully as a result of,
‘the excessive penalties from which
Howard suffered most, it began
to, appear that the end of sixty
minutes of such impotency of at-
-tack and ruggedness of defense
that the two teams would drag
their tired bodies from the white
lined turf and leave the issue un-
settled.
But the steady and dramatical-
ly sudden drive which Howard be-
gan as soon as the oval was her's
in the third period changed the
whole aspect of things, gave the
national capital eity team another:
triumph over Wilberforce and ad-
vanced it a step further towards
a legitimate claim upon the my-
thical championship of the nation.
Furthermore, because Wilberforce
beat Lincotn, and Howard beat
both West Virginia and Wilber-
force while Lincoln only tied West
Virginia, Howard at this writing
must be’ favored over Lincoln for
the Eastern Classic on Turkey
Day. ,
With tho last white line 38 yards
away, Coles decided a change from
a smashing to a passing game
would catch the sceondary defense
unprepared. His decision was the
appropriate one, for a pass from
Smith to him netted 8 yards. How-
‘ard again went into its huddle sys-
tom. of giving signals. Deciding,
evidently, that a play was good

into the left ‘side of the Bulldogs’
forward wall. It wavered and
broke. A touchdown was scored,
Coles’ dropkicked for the extra
point and the Blue and White was
leading by the same count that it
won by. For although Wilberforce
soon began a beautiful march in
the general direction of Howard's,
goal, it was never reached. Tt was

successful until gthe point was
reached: where another successful
forward pass meant a score and a
chance for a tie score. .
‘There was not any. outstanding
return of punts, both teams get-
ting down under punts in_admir-
able fashion, with Redden of Force
particularly noticeable to this
writer.
Howard made 4 first downs in
the opening half and 7 in the cur-
‘tain act for a total of 11 as com-
pared to two for Wilberforce in
the first half and 8 in the last hali
for a total of 5 first downs.
While these figures might be
analyzed, readers may easily see
that Howard despite numerous
penalties, most of which, it is re-
grettable to admit, were deserved,
was visibly superior to Wilber-
force in every department of play
except the aerial one, Outweighed
considerably, Wilberforce was
forced to this style of play whore
the blue and white made its best
and most decisive gains on slash-
ing off-tackle’ slants and center
plunges.
Reams might be written, bui
they won’t about the features of
cach man’s play. Suffice it to-say
that Redden, Bickett, Buchanan,
Mendenhall, Slater played sparl:-
Jing games for the losers on a line
that had no very obvious weakness
except, Jack of weight, In the
backfield Ritchie ans ‘illiams
wore particularly successful in
gaining through the line, Williams
and Moore and Ritchie backed up
the forward defense admirably
with, Williams shining in this role
particularly, Ward, and in fact
none of the losing backs seemed to
get the interference necessary
even for all-Americans. Besides.
Wu Fang Ward ruined several
of his chances for gains by fum-
bles. In general, he played a good
game, and was a constant menace.
Ward and Ritchie were very ef-
fective as a passing combination.
Iluff was weak on defense and
showed a fair ability offensively.
For the short time Harding played,
he showed flashes of form. — In
Smith and Coles, Coach Watson
has two splendid’ backs wh orun
around the ends, crash off tackle,
pass, kick, and in addition are good
on defense. Young and Brown are
big and fast and are practically
sure gainers, and not always for
the short gains ¢ither. Ross was
in every play, but injuries im-
paired his play before the game
was over. Late in the gume wel
und Tyson were among those back.
field men who materially aided
Howard in maintaining’ its cher-
ished lead, Howard's line had no
particularly outstanding pla yer;
ic charged together and. usually
more than one tackler downed the
Wilberforce runners, Campbell,
Martin, V Smith and Thomas—to
name some of them—were in the
midst of most every play.

BOOKER WASHINGTON TAKES
ANOTHER STEP TOW ARDS
TTL; DEFEATS MANASSAS
Using an attack thal denied op-
ponents a chance of getting
started, the Fighting Bookers ad-
vanced’ another’ step towards the
Interstate High School champion-
ship by drubbing -the touted Ma-
nassas green froxs to a 20 to 0
‘score here lust Thursday at League
Park.
Manassas presented a strong de-
fense. but it was not, consistent
cnough to stop Booker Washing-
ton from sifting through for long
gains and threo touchdowns. Ma-
nassas did not get. chance to show
whether she had an offense of
scoring caliber or not. ‘THe Fight:
ing Bookers kept the green boys
backs against their own goal posts
most of the game, The Bookers
main defense in this game was a
strong offensive drive that kept
the visiting cleven on the jump
at all stages in the ame, keeping
her always heyond the 50 yard line.
| ‘Manassas came hero with a rep-
uation of not having tasted of the
cup of defeat in two years. The
Fighting Bookers, also boasted of
such a record. Consequently both
teams entered the game determined
to keep these records clean.
It was apparent from the out-
set that the boys from upstate
would not have a chance of thalk-
ing up a win against tho local
high school lads. When Johnson
and Ross got started, they did a
dazzling bit of sidestepping and
Manassas forwards found quite a
bit of difficulty in stopping them.
Tynes and Thomas seemed to be
off color in this game. But the
captain of the Fighting Bookers
and Kermit Ross, more than dob-
bly made up for this. Nottingham
coming in the game in the last
quarter, aided in keeping up the
good work done by Johnson and
Ross, On the first play, he crashed
at the line and. it yielded for 10
yards and a first down,
The First Tally
The Bookers started off scoring
early, marking up a touchdown in
the first frame, when Johnson re-
ecived a Manassas punt on the 40
yard line and went the rest of the
distance to cross over. The rest
of the quarter and the second, Ma-
nassas was able to stop the Book-
ors from going over again, holding.

second period, Booker Washington
was only able to get two first
downs, while the green frogs
brought up the rear with one.
Shortly after the second hal? got

“The But” on the stage the. most
successful play of excitement, have
been crystalized into a superb
sereen presentation by Roland
West, which opens a long awaited
engagement at tho Attucks theatre
next Monday, Tuesday and Wed-
nesday.
‘Here we have a munier done, rob-
bery attempted, pursuit frustrated,
mystery distilled and double-dis-
tilled, solution deferred, and_de-
nouement that is all surprise. They
are the big ingredients of fasei-
nating mystery melodrama mas-
terfully assembled in “The Bat”
‘as the most ambitious effort of the
kind in motion pictures.
‘The spinster is played by Miss
Emily Fitzroy, and others in the
notable cast are Andre de Beran-
ger, Charles Herzinger, Louise Fa-
zenda, Arthur Houseman, Robert
McKim, Jack Pickford, Jewel Car-
men, SoJin Kamiyama, Tullio Car-
niinati, Eddie Gribbon and Lee
Shumway. Of course, one of these
must seem to be “The Bat,” but
guessing it is what delights and
Laffles audiences.
‘The production, directed by Ro-
jand West, and ‘adapted for, the
seveon by ‘Julien Josephson from
the stage success by Mary Roberts
Rinehart and Avery Hopwood
comes as one of the highly clabo-
rate United Artists releases.
Thursday and Friday
Raymond Griffith—he of the
high silk hat and winning smile
will return to our local midst
Thursday and Friday in a_rip-
roaring film, entitled “Hands Up!”
will demonstrate anew that he is
without « peer in the field of pan-
tomimic comedy.
The background of this new ve-
hicle is the hectie Civil War period,
and the irrepressible Griffith is
presented as a happy-go-lucky
young aide to General Robert 1.
Lee. His thrilling adventures as
i Confederate spy conclusively
prove that there is a funny side
to war—at least in the movies.
“Flame Of The Argentine,” a
story which runs az fast as’ thy
reat race horse Calaris and has
the same romance and color as the
famous “Sport of Kings” will com-
plete the bill at the Attucks thea-
ire Saturday, and those who have
not seen beautiful Evelyn Brent
in this stirring FBO melodrama
will miss one of the best starring
vehicles in which she has ever bozn
cust. The story, by Burke Jen-
| Manassas received the kickoff
and the Bookers held, forcing the
Visitors to punt out of danger,
‘Thomas getting the ball, came ue
for 10 yards, On a fake double’
pass, Johnson trimmed the end for.
26 yards. ‘The next play found
Tynes being thrown for a loss.
The Bookers quickly made up for
this loss, when Johnson heaved a
forward pass to Ross, who scam-
pered off for 89 yards and a touch
down. Johnson’ drop kicked for
phe ext point, making the score
13-0.
“Booker Washington has made
more than two touchdowns on ev-
ery team encountered this season,
with the exception of Huntington.
With this in mind, the boys, now
were fighting to score again on the
team from Manassas. They ran,
charged and bucked al the Ma:
nagsas line gaining yood ground,
hut the forward line of defense
would not give, But when the
fina] _qurater roiled around Book-
er Washington pushed the ball
tiown the field, but was forced to
kick, before seriously threatening:
to score. Manassas returned the
punt and after two neatly executed
ions and a line buck, Booker
Washington kicked, the ball going
far down the field. This came af-
ter the locals had received a total
of 30 yards in penalties, one for
second” incompleted forward pass
and the other for clipping.
Booker Washington would not be
denied, though. Chamber attempted
to kick out of “his territory, but
Teamor charged through to. block
the kick,recovered” the. ball and
scored the third touchdown.

Virginia Collegiate Institute, At-
Janta University, Morehouse’ Col-

lege’ for Negroes.
‘The eastern board of officials is
desirous of affiliating with the
American Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation. Every effort is being
nuide to assemble all institutions
and groups of institutions putting
on physical education and athletic
programs at this meeting, espec-
ially the C.I.A. A. While no defi-
nit answer has come from the C.
1. A.A, various expressions on the
part of high officials indicate that
the C. I. A. A. is in with sympathy
with this new movement.
Chief among the items of new

STANLEY SMITH ON VICTORIOUS O. STATE TEAM
By P. BERNAND YOUNG, Jr.
Columbus, Ohio—At the same

team was winning a brilliant victory Saturday over the University of Chicago to establish itself definitely as a Big Ten title contender, Ohio State's crack cross-country track team was running to a decisive victory over Ohio Westlyan preparatory to the coming Western Conference championship meet.
And on that team that plodded its way over hill and dale to deserved victory was Stanley Smith, a Negro, who was a crack distance man on Ohio State's 1924 "Frosh" sound.
Smith's presence on the team has been the result of a persistent effort to make the team in the face of several of the West's stellar runners. Now that he at last has arrived, it is going to be a hard matter to stave off his driving finishes. In the forthcoming meets with Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other big universities, in addition to the championship run, it is confidently expected that many of Ohio's hard-ended points will trail in the feet, spiked feet of the lithe limbed Negro. Smith is a Columbus boy, a junior, a pledge of the Alphi Phi Alpha fraternity, and an unassuming, popular chap.
It was among the first five Ohio State men to finish in the race in which his Captain, Kennedy, broke the course record.
Among the freshmen who placed anywhere from first to fifth in the interclass track meet at the University were; Kelly, of Cleveland; Carroll of Columbus; Ellison of Philadelphia; Butler of Columbus. Talmadge long, a sophomore from Cleveland, kept up the fine work he exhibited on last year's fresh squad. Hunter, the only colored lad to get his baseball numerals last season, will be a varsity candidate this spring for a pitcher's berth. Your correspondent was one of the six players eventually picked out of some thirty-odd on the 1926 freshman tennis squad and hopes to be a varsity candidate this spring. A youth name Ray is on the fresh football team.

FAILED TO IMPRESS AS GREAT FOOTBALL MACHINE; CLAIMED TIGERS MASTER MASSED TYPE
Editor's Note—The writer was an active and valuable member of the Lion team for four years between 1922 and 1925. He was one of the hefty backs including "Jazz" Byrd who roped to the C, I, A. A. Championship in 1924.
By GEORGE GOODMAN
Now that all the shouting has died down, there is nothing left to do save give the results calm and unbiased analysis.
Tuskegee accomplished her purpose to defeat Lincoln in the Nocte. But the much heralded "Southern Tornado" failed to impress me as a great football team. The factors that enabled them to carry off the victory were physical force and experience. The smoothness of team play and the mental executions that accompanied with a great college asses- tates was the reason. As soon as Moseley or Atlanta secures a line that can withstand the physical efforts of Coach Abbott's big forwards, Tuskegee will appear as a cool mild breeze.
Easy Progress
The general inexperience of Lincoln's new team and the feeble efforts of her line, made progress comparatively easy for the hugh southerners. With all due respec-
tion for the great efforts Coach Abbott and his staff have put forth on their team, a fast moving backfield and a heavy line such as Howard has this year could defeat them on any field. Lincoln's line was at the mercy of Tuskegee throne the game, but the great defence of the Lincoln team's backfield showed conclusively that Tuskegee does not even possess an over average back-
A. & T. AND TIGERS PLAY 7-6 SOORE
BY RALPH MATTHEWS
Lawrenceville, Va.—What proved to be a kicking duel between Hudson of St. Paul and Coleman of A. and T. ended in a 7 to 6 victory for the latter when they clashed on Russell Field here Saturday. Coleman scored first when a 15 yard penalty against A. and T. gave St. Paul the ball 5 yards from the goal.
The Virginia boys lost two other opportunities to score by the field goal route. One of Hudson's kicks in the first quarter struck the cross bar and bound into the field. In the last quarter, with victory in sight, missed a goal from the 15 yard line.
The penalty against A. and T, which enabled St. Paul to score was similar to the one which gave Union the victory last week. But A. and T. was away from home and there was no demonstration against referee Morrison. Coleman and Lane run thru St. Paul in the third quarter for A. and T.'s only score. Just before this score Coleman fumbled a pass from center and it rolled behind A. and T.'s goal. He picked it up and ran it out 40 yards. The two lines were evenly matched and with the exception of Lane A. and T., a hard hitting back, others gained little through this medium. The kickers averaged 50 yards consistently. In only one instance was the booster prevented from demeaning distance. That occurred when Cunningham broke through to prevent Hudron's drop kick that would have been the deciding point of the frame.
Both teams seemed a frail to trust their fates to the air route and a few passes were hurled. The Tigers' overhead game seemed to be more effective than that of their opponents and if they were a few with the same successful hit, they in the contest they might have kept the pikin on the campus. Continuous kicking kept first downs at a minimum.
St. Paul, which won itself the "Wonder Team" when they were using a sensational trick formation and shift stuck to straight football throughout the game. The Virginians fought suburban scores the first touchdown of the game the third quarter. A. and which has already chalked up five victories out of six games is now on edge to get the seasideers' scalp on their annual struggle Saturday.

Smith held the fi
field. Take those giants from in front of Stevenon and his backfield and not one of them can measure up to Shields of Union, Smith of Howard, or Martin of Lonehill Short snappers pass, but the last willooth co-ordinated interference was as strange to them as Egyptian script.
Masters Mass Type
However, Tuskegee has one accomplishment to her credit; they have mastered the massed type of football of fifteen years ago, that is dependant upon great physical force and plentiful substitution. They were far superior to Lincoln in these departments and won their game from this angle. If they would test the assumption that they are now Negro football champions of the country, let them follow up their splendid start by inviting Howard, Union or Hampton down into the Southland next year.
Fate is a strange factor indeed, for on Friday I saw one of the weakest Lincoln teams in years confront an exceedingly heavy team from the South. Just one Anderson punting and would have put on Lancaster if we would have come in gloom. One of the many breaks in the annals of football. But let us turn to the remaining games of the season content in knowing that the type of football as displayed on Friday does not equal the scientific open game of the teams from Virginia up. If before the season closes we get word from the team that Tuskegee beaten or tied, that Tuskegee surprised, but rather know that they met a team as strong physically. Congratulations Mr. Abbott and Tuskegee.
Kittrell Beats
Favetteville 6-0
Kittrell College defeated the fast team of Fayetteville Normal here in one of the season's best games by the score of 6-0. From the kick-off it was evident that the Methodist boys were in the game to win and get revenge for their defeat last year. The two teams battled on even terms for the first half with the ball in midfield. At the opening of the second half Kittrell led by Charles Sanders at quarter started a series of line bucks and end runs that could not stop the opposing team, twenty-five yard line. Driver substituted for Sanders made about twelve yards around left end and Caldwell ran eighteen yards through tackle for the only score of the game. Branch failed in the try for the extra point.
SHAW SWAMPED BY HAMPTON; FIFTH DEFEAT
Hampton Institute, Va.—Hampton climbed another round in the C. I. A. A. Championship race by defeating Shaw University of Raleigh, N. C., on Armstrong Field, 22-0. The Seasiders played an excellent game of straight football, using only bucks to revisit sixteen first downs against the one of which resisted upon fifteen yard imposed upon Hampton for unnecessary roughness. Williams, Hampton versatile left half broke through Shaw's barrier for frequent yard gaininf and broken field runs.
Several injuries were suffered by the players throughout the game. Hughes, Shaw's stalwart fullback, did good work in backing up the line on the defense, especially when the Hampton backs tipped through so free we were the mainstay of the team, as his pants were of good distance and his line plunging was par excellent.
In the final quarter Byrd started
a rally by making a 50 yard run
after receiving a punt from the
toe of Chambers. Thatcher was
called upon and he ripped off 35
yards. Baker was called upon and
he carried the ball across for 4
more points. A dropkick added
the extra point.

SMITH BOWS TO VA. NORMAL TEAM
By J. WARREN WHITTEN
Roanoke, Va.—In one of the greatest football classics that has ever been played, the West Virginia I. I. I. became victorious over Johnson C. Smith University by a score of 25-0. Johnson C. Smith held the fighting warriors last year to a scoreless tie, but this year they were unable to block the swift forward passing that was being done by Epss quarterback of V. N. I. I. I. The backfield that V. N. I. I. brought before 5,000 fans was no less than a star one. Epss was fast as lightning and with Wiggins i. i. who did all of the booting was very outstanding.

C.I.A.A. HEADS INVESTIGATE A.&T. AFFAIR
Petersburg, Va.—The executive committee of the C. I. A. A. meet in session at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg, Va. to consider the deplorable incident at the close of the Union-A. T. and T. football game at Greensboro on Saturday, August 20, which resulted in an attack by spectators on the referee L. U. Gibson. The committee consists of T. L. Puryear, president; Prof. J. W. Barco, Union; P. E. Purt. Va. Sem.; J. L. Whitehead, St. Paul; L. P. Byarm, A. T. and C. H. Williams, Hampton. T. resident, E. D. Buford from P. M. Vaughn, one of the officials in the game, and Coach Hulces of Union were asked to meet with the committee also.
Assaulted By Outsiders
On investigation the committee found that Mr. Gibson was assaulted by outsiders and some of the A. and T. students who apparently were betting on the game. He was also attacked and bitten by a budog. The committee further found that the unmarried attack on Mr. Gibson was condemned by the majority of A. and T. students especially by members of the football squad who came to his rescue.
President Buford of A. and T. College appeared before the committee and declared that the attack was wholly unexpected and that a thorough investigation had been conducted in his institution and that students who led in the attack have been suspended. The suspect was Debnam and V. S. Holt. He further assured the committee that there would be no recurrence of such an affair at A. and T. and that every precautionary measure would be taken to protect officials in the future on the campus.
Scheduled Carried Out
Because A and T, has suspended
the two students who were leaders
in this affair and because of President Buford's positive assurance
that both players and officials will
be involved in the course of courtesy the C. I. A. a schedule
will be carried out for the season as planned by the Executive Committee.

GAME HAD SIGNIFICANT BY PRODUCTS; WAS A TESTING OF TRAINING, STRENGTH--SKILL
By JESSE O. THOMAS
At two clock on Friday afternoon, the 29th, the Tuskegee band piloted by a quartet of policemen on horseback, led the parade from Bread and Lombard streets, Philadelphia, to the Benjamin Franklin Field Stadium. One thousand of Tuskegians, Hamptonians, their friends and sympathizers, together with an accumulating number of neutrals, marched up Broad street to South, and out South street to the University of Pennsylvania campus, as Captain Drye and his forty-five piece band in khaki uniform played "There'll Be A Hot Time in This Old Town This Afternoon" ()." Well, forget about the time. Something more important to remember.
At two-thirty what was described by the "Philadelphia Ledger" as "one of the most sensational contests ever seen in this city between Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and Lincoln University, ending in a final score of 20 to 16 in favor of the former Institution was played before a crowd of fifteen thousand people."
Significant By-Product
This contest between the "Lincoln Lions" and the "Tuskegee Tigers" had significant by-products. The main issue, of course, was the testing of the comparative training, skill, and engineering ability of the two athletic machines. This were, however, other aspects of the final outcome of "battle to the gate" which were as decisive as the victory per se.
In addition to the usual institutional "combat", press agents had made this more of a sectional conflict than perhaps has ever been true between two Negro schools in the history of football. It had taken on the complexion of "North vs. South"; one type of education vs. another—whatever that means. There was a whole set of people themselves believe and sought to convince others that it was absolutely impossible for men trained in the South to play "eastern football. No matter who the coach might be, or how well the team might be schooled in the art of maneuvering, it could not stand up when they met the boys out East—Cleve Abbott to the contrary notwithstanding. There was a much larger and more powerful set of the defult of the "Tigers" on the ground and on the ground only of "mechanics vs. intellectuals." The reader will have worked out the various shades of meaning of these trite terms for his own convenience and satisfaction. I am sure they must have some differential connection here. Some of the members of the team were sufficiently co-peated in their convictions; brave or indiscreet enough to offer audible insinuations and intimidations to the boys from Dixie and their friends.
Brawn vs. Brain
"Brown vs. Brain" was as mobilizing slogan, was working over time. "There is no way in the world for toe carpenters, brick masons, pea pickers, cow punchers, corn shuckers, potato diggers, peanut roasters, molasses lickers, and bean eaters from the South to cope with the mental behavior of th Eastern boys." Get that?
"Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." The more peas you pick, if you learn my commands and do them, the more easily you will be able to tackle men and kick goals." Clove Abbott.
"You know the woods are full of educated (7) people, who religiously believe that one's mental culture recedes in the exact ratio that he acquires knowledge of concrete things; that one's academic intelligence is done violence if he learns too much about men and things; that you must necessarily be long on one and short on the other.
According to the scoreboard on Franklin Field Friday afternoon, mental precision, physical alertness, or physical endurance have neither geographic significance or geographic prejudice. That thing is settled for all times because the Tigers" didn't "happe" to be displayed and otherwise called the "Lions". This proves that the world is more interested in how one is educated than where he was educated. In

other words, the world is looking for the man or group of men who can give the answer.
At the close of the combat in the Benjamin Franklin Field Stadium, Ben Stevenson, all American right half back from Tuskegee, who brought the spectators to their feet with hats in hands and hair standing on their heads, by "outrunning a half-grown rabbit" in an 80-yard dash across the Lincoln goal line gave answer as the 20-16 in favor of Tuskegee.

N. Y. COLLEGIANS PLAY SCORELESS WITH STAMFORD
New York—Facing the champions of the New England States, who carried five former all-American men on line and an all-American full back, the Adelphias of New York displayed better form than did the heavy Stamford pros in the entire game, there was little to choose between the two teams on their playing ability.
The Adelphia line with Lucas and Giles on one side and Coston and Brackett on the other was a marvel. Giddings, for merly of Norfolk and Marritt also of the Norfolk A. C. replaced these men and stood up under the pressure well. Tuppance made a spectaculais catch of a Stamford foad. Bolden was as flashy as ever in the backfield and Jackson did some real kicking and throwing mons, replaced by the first quarter, backfield and although Stamford fought hard, the Adelphias were their match all the way through. Fully five thousand people witnessed the game, and they cheered the colored boys roundly for their fine playing.

Wilberforce. Ohio—In a game marred by numerous and severe penalties, the undefended Howard Bison's threat of a strong Wilberforce drove them 7-0, before a gala tipping. The first half was a scoreless tie, the penalties being partially offset by the brilliant plunging of Young, Howard fullback, and the good work of the other Howard backs, 'Tick' Smith, Ross and Cole, Mendenhall, end, and Ritchie, quarterback, were effective for Wilberforce.

MzC. Del Manzo of Columbia, Uni-
‘versity, who directed the trip vf
these foreign representatives,
President John Mi. Gandy in a most
impressive address told the group
about’ the history of the school-—
Sts Eteady progress, the obstacles
that were overcome and the possi-
bilities of the future. Then the
meeting was thrown open to ii!
for a study of practical topics... In
addition to the questions that were
asked, which related te the edu-
cation of the Negro, inuivies wers
mide with reference to the min-
agement of the school in xeneral—
its means of support and other
methods of meeting the incveasins
demands for accommodating the
students. The officers and the
teachers of the various depart-
ments who were present did no:
hesitate wo answer frankly and
fully every question that we
asked.
The visitors were next invites
to.the chapel where they saw the
entire student body. This was the
most inspiring feature of the oc-
casion. Here was a host of am
ditions youths, the hope or the Su
ture of the American Negro, look-
ing into the faces of sixty leaders
in“ education, who represented
twenty-six different nationalities,
Many of these have better oppor-
tunities than the Negro teacher;
while others encounter similat
problems, Among this grouy thal
sat on the rostrum was the’ Jew,
the Gentile, the Indian, and the
Mongolian. ' The thought. doubtless
cecurred to many that, this would
be a better world to live in, if 4
body of people as earnest as this
would como together to study bet:
ter race relations.
‘After one or two brief speeches
were delivered, at the request, of
Dr. Del Manzo, the Choral Society
and the quartet sung several num-
hers of spirituals and classic
piéees.
‘When the chapel exercises were
over, President Gandy invited the

SON PROVES STAR
WITNESS AGAINST
FATHER'S SLAYER
Fenchurch atvert Shosting
ee oe
Jesse Britt, of 407 Columbia
street, Portsmouth, the 15 year old
gon of Lindsay Britt, who is said
to have witnessed the slaying of
hix father, Thursday afternoon at
2 o'clock, by Isane Alexander in
front of 810 Cove street, proved
the State’s star witness when Alex-
ander was arraigned for a pre-
liminary hearing on a murder
charge in Police Court Friday
morning. Britt was shot once
with a 25 automatic pistor, the bul-
let taking cffcet in his heart, and
died before reaching the hospital.
Alexander later surrendered: to the
police.
‘The shooting, according to the
story obtained by the police, was
the result of bad feeling between
the two men involving their women
folk. ‘The slain man lived at 222
Fenchurch street and his slayer
lived at 214 Fenchurch street.
Story of Shooting
Upon investigation the police
have learned that both Britt and
Alexander maintained com mon-
law wives o1 as they called them,
housekeepers, Miss Laura John-
ron being the housekeejer for Britt
und Miss Margaret Glover the
housekeeper for Alexender. Some
days previous to the murder, the
story goes, Britt and his house-
keeper had a quarrel, whercupon
she left his home and went to live
in the home of Alexander with
Margaret. Britt, learning that his
housekeeper was staying in th:
‘Mlexander home, became anyered
and accused Alexander and May-
xaict Glover of keeping Laura
away from him.
‘On the afternoon of the shooting.
Bait. it is allegsd, reproached
Alexander about Miss Johnson
slaying in his home. An argu-
ment ensued, then Alix anders
housekeeper, it is alleged, struck
Britt ever the left eve with a piece
of wood, The two men then en-
gaged in # fight, when Britt picked
up a brick and threatened to hit
Alexander, The latter drew his
pistol and commanded the former
Loput down the brick. Seeing the
gum, Britt immediately opeyed che
command.
Britt Leaves Seene
Britt then left the scene, it is
said, und went to the grocery store
at the corner of Cove and Fen-
chuich streets and made a few pur-
chases. Returning he again en-
countered Alexander. More words
pee between the men, then a
low from Alexander's fist — to
Britt's hody, it is said. In this
mixup Alexander drew his pistol
and shot Britt.
On examination of the dead
man’s body Detective Nowitzky,
‘coroner's investigator, found one
sleeve of his coat torn out, his
underwear badly torn and his
clothes otherwise mussed up. In
his pocket were found three brok-
en eggs, the eggs being one of the
purchases he made at the grocery
tore,

A NEW FORM OF
LABOR PEONAGE
IN COTTON BELT
New Orlans, La., Nov. 8—Traf-
ficking in colored and Mexican cot-
ton pickers has become 2 big in-
dustry in many sections of Texas
and Louisiana, and consular of-
ficers of the Mexican yovernment
are making an investigation on be-
half of their government, It is
said that there are a number of
ier, labor agents, so-called, who
await Negroes and Mexieans on
highways and offer them a bonus
and free transportation to go with
Uiem to some fictitious place to
pick cotton. The cotton pockers
having ace:pted the Lerms are tak
en to some distant point outside
of a town and there go into camp.
The would-be employer leaves
them under guard and finds farm-
ers who need cotton pickers. He
enters into negotiations for the
sale of cotton pickers, at so much
‘a head, often five dollars, depend-
ing, of course, on how badly the
farmer needs help. Often the la-
bor ‘bootlegger comes back and
gets the same bunch of pickers be-
fore the crop is picked, and by of-
fering further bonuses’ takes them
‘to some other place and again solls
them for five dollars each. This
is a system of peonage which is
‘prevalent in the South and which
the Mexican government is pro-
testing against for her citizens.
To date the United: States gov-
‘ernment has taken no action.
In spite of poor business condi-
ditions during the hot weather in
Mexico recently, Mexicans con-
tinued to go to the movies in in-
creasing numbers.

to play an inereasingly impor-
tant part in the evangelization
and education of Africa, and
that the number of their mis-

as rapidly as qualified candi-

work, and as their representa-
tives already in the field still
further succeed in gaining for
their people and their societies
that publi confidence which is
so essential.

2, That every practicable
form of assistance and sup
port. should be given, in the
spirit of Christian Lviendship
and fellowship as to colleagues
of the same missionary stutus
by white missionaries to qual-
ified American Negroes work-
ing in Africa, who show them-
selves worthy of confidence,
and that the Same spitit of co-_

by white missionaries from
American Negro missionaries.

OF SECOND PERIOD, NOVEMBER 13TH, EXPECTED TO BRING MANY UPSETS IN RACE
As the Journal and Guide's $3,500 prize subscription campaign nears the end of the second period, November 13th, interest and activity among the seventy-odd competitors are the upward trend. The reports during the middle of the day at the time of going to press indicated that every contest aims to end the second period this Saturday with the standing possible.

On parched African veldt beneath a tropical sun, scantily-attired black boys and girls of Liberia will soon make the welkin ring with shouts of merriment as they amuse themselves in American forms of diversion introduced for the first time in the little republic by Mrs. Helen M. Curtis of New York.
Mrs. Curtis was mistress of the American Legation at Monrovia when her husband, the late James L. Curtis, a New York Negro Lawyer, was United States Minister to Liberia under Woodrow Wilson. Two years ago she again took up residence at the capital as unofficial Ambassadress from her native land to render service to the primitive people living in one of the only two Governments in Africa not under European domination.

three see-saws, a yard swing, baseball, basketball and volley-hall outfits and a croquet set. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs contributed $200 toward the playgrounds.
For several years Mrs. Curtis has been an ardent baseball fan and understands the technique of the game. But knowing America's great national pastime is one thing and teaching it to foreigners is another. She thinks it is going to be much easier instructing the Liberians how to play volleyball and croquet than baseball, and far less strenuous.
There are many children in Liberia, especially those from the hinterland not fortunate to own a stitch of clothing. On their feet, they have never worn shoes or stockings. Public-spirited women in the United States have given Mrs. Curtis a supply of clothing for the young folks to be worn only when they are making merry on the playgrounds. It is expected that this new recreational program will mean much to both the physical and mental development of many a youthful anaemic.
The introduction of the American methods of farming is another subject in which the New York woman is deeply interested. At Monrovia College, supported by the African Methodist Episcopal Church, where she teaches sewing, Mrs. Curtis also has charge of the farm. She has never seen a plough used by any American Liberian or a native coast farmer in tilling the soil. Usually a hoe or a pick-ax is utilized to make small hills in which seeds are planted. But little of the soil other than the top is rarely touched.
Thirty miles from Monrovia on the St. Paul River are 300 acres that have been turned over to Mrs. Curtis where she plans to give Liberia its first model farm. On it she hopes to install a Fordson tractor and other up-to-date farm machinery. Although a country with great agricultural potentialities, Liberia has yet to take advantage of its rich, productive land. Ninety per cent of the food used by foreigners is imported.
From experience Mrs. Curtis has learned that the soil about Monrovia is not all fertile. Monrovia is on the West Coast of Africa, and it is not until sixteen miles out in the bush that the land becomes rich and rolling. This summer while in California Mrs. Curtis visited the Imperial Valley to study its irrigation system. She is returning to Liberia with different kinds of fertilizer which will be used to enrich the soil in and about Monrovia.
When Mrs. Curtis sailed for the little black republic in the fall of 1925, she took along four dozen fiens, eight roosters - Plymouth Rocks and white leghorns. She gives the following recital of her efforts, to be an expert poultry raiser in Africa:
"Chickens and eggs in Liberia are much smaller than in the United States. So I decided to raise by incubation American-bred chickens of average size. I had taken a course in poultry raising at the University of California and had faith in my ability to give Liberia a chicken farm the likes of which had never been seen in the republic.
"My first big disappointment was when one-third of the chickens died en route. With the surviving chickens, the eggs and incubators, I reached Monrovia still in high hopes. I soon found there was not enough nutrition in the grass on account of the heat and poor soil. It was necessary to import chicken feed from New York, which proved expensive.
"Next the thermometers of my incubators got out of order. There was no way of regulating them, and I had to wait every six weeks for a steamer to anchor before getting desired information from the Captain. Sometimes my incubators were too hot and other times too cold. So all my eggs did not turn into little chicks.
"My Plymouth Rocks had heavy plumage when I took them to Monrovia, but when they shed their new feathers were very thin, due to the intense heat. A sheep's wool is not curly but straight like the hair on a goat for the same reason. We brought milk goats from the Canary Islands and they died for lack of proper nourishment. They could not get it by grazing.
Her Stock Grew
"When I left for America several months ago I had on my nouty farm 75 grown and 200 small chickens. With the cow-peas and other fertilizer I am carrying back I am hoping to solve the problem of chicken feeding by making more productive the impoverished soil. Eggs sell for 6 cents each."
Mrs. Curtis has as members of her household in Monrovia four boys and two girls whom she adopted. Two of the boys are fourteen and two are nine, and the girls are both nine. With the exception of a brother and sister, the six children are of different tribes and speak different languages. They are of the Vai, Kru, Gola. Kpwesi and Bassa tribes. The housekeeper is "Grandma" Horne, American-born, who settled in Liberia fifty-five years ago.
The women of Liberia are beginning to take an interest in social service work, and Mrs. King, wife of the President, has organized the Girl Guides, similar to the Girl Scouts in America. The little black republic is on the threshold of a new day, Mrs. Curtis reports. Since the Firestone Rubber Company began to grow rubber in the country on a large scale, many of the natives have been receiving pay for their work for the first time in their lives.

COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA
Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Cremoulisation, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Cremoulisation is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Cremoulisation contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and stop the infection and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and cheeks the growth of the germs.
Cromulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.)

BETTER PHYSICAL FITNESS SHOWN BY COLLEGE MEN
Examination Of Howard's Student Body Reveals Encouraging Results
Washington, D. C., November 6—Health examinations which have been given the students entering Howard University during the past five years are today yielding tremendous dividends according to a statement made by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Director of the Department of Public Health, under whose supervision these examinations are made. At no time in the history of this departmental activity of the University has such searching scrutiny been exercised in obtaining a health index of each student, and the beginning of the Autumn Quarter of this year. Associated with Doctor Jackson is a group of specialists from the Medical Department of Howard University who have rendered most efficient and painstaking service.
"Each year it has been observed" says Doctor Jackson, "that the students who present themselves, show upon physical examination certain improvement over the group of the year before. But the students who have entered this year shows such a marked advance over those of previous years that it seems right and proper to emphasize the fact. Not only is this observation made regarding the new students who have come to the University for the first time, but it must be recorded that the old students have caught the idea of the new students of a better mind and have returned to college much improved beyond the showing of their records of previous years."
Doctor Jackson in further commenting on this subject states that upon certain occasions these defects were slight and upon many they were serious, but all capable of correction if discovered are cared for in time. The value of this sort of work of Howard University is doing for the young Negro cannot be measured alone in dollars and cents, yet it is a marked effort to build up the economic and social status of an American group, who have always, shown a fine response to every effort season dwell human interest.
The big thing, the significant thing, he says, of it all is the general acceptance now on the part of the student body, of the chance for a physical examination as a privilege which in the beginning of the plan they looked upon as another unnecessary evil so constantly imposed upon students. The students are now anxious to have a physical inventory, as it were, and, in the meantime, are most enthusiastic in following advice and treatment measures which are prescribed for any disability the examinations may reveal. Those who are normal take a wonderful pride in the preservation of their physical integrity.
Straight Battles
New Orleans, L.A., Oct. 28—Before a crowd of several thousand spectators here last week, the powerful football elevenes of Straight College and Southern University battled furiously to a 0-0 tie. Straight had an excellent opportunity to score in the first half when a 30 yard run by Parker advanced the ball on Southern's ten yard line. Southern's sturdy defense hold the tide for three downs, and a forward pass in the end zone which was grounded on the fourth down kept the Tide from scoring.

A cold calls for four help, all at one time. And each should be the best. One must stop the cold, check the fever, open the bowels and tone the entire system. Do them all.
HILL'S combines these four effects. Each is accomplished by a modern discovery, the first modern form of mind. One of the world's largest laboratories has embodied them all in one tablet, in a way to bring no ill results.
HILL'S is the perfect help for colds. It is so efficient, so complete that we paid 1,000,000 for it. The use has grown and grown, until millions have come to employ it.
If you have a cold, start HILL'S at once. By tomorrow you will see colds will never again rely on lesser help when you learn what HILL'S can do.

TO UNVEIL COL. CHAS. YOUNG MONUMENT
Appropriate Ceremonies To Attend Event Armistice Day In Arlington
---
Washington, D. C., Nov. 8—Announcement is made from the National Office of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity that the monument erected over the grave of Col. Charles Young in the Arlington National Cemetery has been completed and will be unveiled 2 P. M. Armistice Day, November 11. About two years ago under the leadership of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity the proposal was made that a suitable monument be erected over the grave of the man who held the highest rank ever to be attained by a member of the Colored race in the regular army of the United States. The consent of his widow was obtained and the work started toward the raising of funds for the memorial. At the request of Mrs. Young the effort was not limited to the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity but opportunity was given to all patriotic and other organizations to take part.
Colonel Young was born in South Carolina in 1867 and was appointed to West Point from that State. He graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 1889. Upon receiving his appointment in the regular army as second lieutenant he was assigned to the cavalry branch of the service. Colonel Young had a colorful career, first distinguishing himself in campaigns against the Indians in the West. During the Spanish-American War he was appointed major of the 1st Brigade and commanded of the Ninth Ohio Battalion. After the war he served with conspicuous efficiency in the Phillipines and in Mexico. During the period that he served as military charge d' affairs in Haiti he made a map of the country that proved of great value to the ma-

Jay Walking in Chicago
During a recent survey in Chicago it was found that the number of scampering, pedestrians that zigzag across the main thoroughfares at places other than regular crossings is having a marked effect upon the flow of traffic. Counts were made at various strategic points in the central business district which showed that during the noon hour the number of people crossing in mid-black averaged 1000 per block per hour.

6. In adopting these resolutions of the Conference recognizes that the above recommendations are not an ideal or a complete solution of these questions, but believes that they represent the "next step" which may be wisely taken, and that they should, in the providence of God, gradually bring about a highly significant and increasingly important contribution by the Negroes of America to their distant kindred in Africa.
I was chiefly impressed with the spirit of fairness on the part of those who represented the various Colonial governments in Africa, and especially the attitude of the Belgian representative. The most able address, in my judgment, and certainly the fair judgment, was delivered by the Colonial Governor in Africa by the name of Louis Negro could be in proclaimment that Africa as a whole must be preserved for the African. This address was not alone exceptionally powerful and consistent, but received the unstinted applause of the entire audience.
There was a general condemnation even by the English delegate of the "Color Bar" Act in South Africa, and on the same occasion on maintaining the color line there. They were quite similar attitude of the whites in the northern United States.
Forty-eight Nations Represented
Fetty-eight nations were represented in the Conference, and able corresponding messengers from South America and India. There was absolutely no semblance of the "color line" in the Conference, nor any manifestation of big or little, fierce delegation on an equal time with the other delegation on one ledged contingent, both Africa and America; we were enthralled at all by what is called the color complex in the United States. I was removed from the hotel assigned me by my tourist agents, the Grand Hotel Excelsior in which the headquarters of the Conference was demolished. This was done without my knowledge until notice reached the hotel in which I was first quartered. Dr. J. A. Allen, my traveler, was together all of the time. The other delegates dledged stopping at the headquarters' hotel were Bishop Clair and Max Yerga.

many and the other delegates represented there. I was shown every possible courtesy along with Dr. Allen, and my view of the highly respected by my fellow delegates. The most moving incident in the whole session of the conference on the singing of Negro spirituals Sunday morning, September 18, in the morning service. The singers Dr. Allen, Max Yeygan, Y. M. C. A. Secretary, South Africa; Dr. Otten, Presbyterian pastor of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Elizabeth Bowie, of Richmond, Ga.; Dr. McCoy of Atlanta, Ga., and myself. Dr. Allen and I were members of the choir.
Acquires Wonderful Insight
The conferences and contact with its members gave me a wonderful insight into the natural impulses of the human heart and the normal psychology of the human mind. I am convinced that prejudice against color is not instinctive, nor even indigenous to human nature. It is not even a living parasite. It is a plant, to be sure, with a colorful exterior that is patriotic and blood from the green and lust of man. I am more determined as my brother, white or black or yellow, and hold them in usual admiration and esteem.
Such refined courtesy, such true hospitality as I felt among people whose color differed from mine has let me to know that color alone is the only difference among men. Their hearts are just the same, I wish that my white American compatriots of the South could be placed in such an environment so that I could be proud of my feet that my own heart has felt and be made sweet and yellow such as my own feeling has been. I am indeed a lover of the whole world.
Southerners Attending Conference
Dr. James Hardy Dilhard of Charlotteville, Va., president of the Slater Fund, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones and Mr. Jackson Davis, of the Slater Fund, were the only Southern representatives at the conference aside from the denominational delegates. There were quite a few Northern representatives. The only religious body declined to participate in the conference or to send a representative was the Southern Baptist Conception (white). I found there a number of Southern Presbyterian, Episcopalism and Methodist bishops who were surprisingly cordial and inim. The conference closed in a burst of glory. I had many interviews with educated African Americans many of whom seemed extremely pleased with my aggressiveness in advocating their cause.

Negro And Foreign Politics
Negro And Foreign Politics
I discovered that the thing which makes the foreign nations fearful and suspicious of the American Negro is the Garvey movement and the Pan-African Congress.
"On my trip to Africa some time ago I was enlightened on the relation of the American Negro to the politics of the world. His every utterance should be guarded. For instance, in seeking a permit to visit British Colonial Africa, I was confronted with the English Consul in New York in his private office, and he inquired of me to what interest I had in India. I informed him I had none. He then proceeded to question me about speeches I had made almost as a pastime, in which I had referred to India. I insisted that I had never spoken about India in public address. He touched an electric button. His secretary appeared. He ordered him to bring a main book from another room. Security book, the Consul defied turn to the parish where was evidently familiar, to him showed me in printed form every speech I had made before the National Race Congress in Washington for the past ten years. I had to confess, and it required fully three hours for me to explain to his satisfaction what I meant.
Iadvice all Negrees in America to weigh every word spoken either from the rostrum or in the press, which they say stifles our own needs.
Other Places Visited
After the Belgium conference I with Dr. Alain mooted 500 miles over Flanders Field, visiting Ypres, Dixium, Neuport and "No Man's Land." I wandered through the dug-outs and trenches and viewed graveyards of our soldiers. The English cemeteries are, perhaps, the best kept, but America is showing admirable consideration for the memory of her sons who sleep in the soil of Flanders Field. The most touching monument I have ever seen in my whole life was that of a Canadian soldier, which stands fully 100 feet high and is crowned with a crown of rooftowal mein upon the graves of thousands of Canadian soldiers, who perished in a single instance by reason of poison gas.
Signs of Prosperity
Signs of Prosperity
I was much impressed with the prosperity of the countries visited; with their abundant vegetation. I visited Alsace-Lorraine, the beautiful city of Strasbourg there at the direction of the Lion river and the most beautiful city of its size I have ever seen. It has a population of 200,000. We visited the Voges mountains and thousands of villages in Alsace-Lorraine. I visited the Rur valley and saw tons and tons of anthracite coal which the French were digging; the beautiful city of Lucerne, Switzerland, with its Indigo lake, with its glacier giving rise to the Rome river which has an average temperature of 25 degrees below zero; Bale, Switzerland; the queenly city of Lagane, Locarno, where the armies of Napoleon sieged it; Lake Laco, Montraux, where the first peace conference was held; Genea, Switzerland, where are located the League of Nations Hall and the International Labor building in which each room is furnished by a separate noun. Eucalyptus is tree, of Japan, and timbers from every nation enter into the structure of this building. America is the only nation not represented there, but it is now furnishing one of the rooms. We visited the ancient, Castle of Chillon and Belle Island in Stresso, Italy. I was really so absorbed in the wonderful scenes that passed before me, and I admired the elements vanished and I returned home feeling younger than I have felt for the past 15 years. I was actually overwhelmed by the fine courtesy of the people whom I get in these various lands.
Not a colored face did I see after leaving brussels in Belgium until I returned to Paris, but I received every personal attention, along with Key, Rev. Allen, even down the aisle, the lighting of the laces, shoes and lighting my Nothing had I to do for myself. I visited many private homes everywhere and enjoyed the fullest hospitality.

In Paris I found one Florence and another colored lady who conducted the most luxurious and well patronized restaurant in the city. Miss Florence Mills, noted singer and actor of New York, also made a tremendous impression upon both England and France. She was very popular in the private life of the people as well as in public, and Roland laes, whom I met in Paris, and who returned to New York in company with us on the S. S. Acquitania, was simply idolized over there. He was entertained by royalty in Austria, Vienna, Zurich and Leipzig, and also entertained the nation of Spain in Maderia, coloured man in any European country, so far as I have seen has a fair chance to make money as a barber or at a job in Amsterdam, profession.

Nashville, · Tenn.—The Kappa Chapter of the Phi Bet Sigma Fraternity in keeping with the motto of the Fraternity "Culture for Service and Service for Humanity" has recently inaugurated monthly services at the Chapter house. The services are held the fourth Sunday in each month at 9:30 a.m. The fraternity is securing the best talent of Nashville to speak to the men at the services. The chapter is also the fraternity and editor-in-chief of the Sunday School Publishing Board was speaker of the first meeting. The fraternity was fortunate on Sunday last in having the President of McHenry Medical College as speaker. Dr. Mullowney expressed his gratitude to the body for extending to him the invitation and complemented it for the birth of such a movement in a College Fraternity. "It is a great movement," said he, and will have a greater influence for good if all of the Fraternities and the Colleges would do similar services." "There is no organization in the college but a greater factor to the success of the Greek letter fraternities." Every one present was helped spiritually and intellectually by the remarks coming from President Mullowney. It is the will of the fraternity that it's members are helped spiritually and morally as well as from a physical and intellectual viewpoint.

Western civilization must do something to make Christianity lasting, otherwise it will be questioned and rejected by the Orient if we continue to make our contacts from all over to discuss problems. International, Racial and Industrial—let us make Christianity count as we carry the message of the Christian.

Washington; D. C.-The German Club held its regular meeting on Monday, November 1st. The program consisted of a group of violin soles rendered by Mr. John H. Holt, accompanied by Misa Dorothy Burnett, of humorous stories of German origin, and of German songs. The group singing was improved through the acquisition of additional song books. The large number in attendance entered with zeal into the presentation of the program, and each member voiced approval of the meeting.
Washington, D. C. The usual moon lecture to Freshmen was given on Monday, November first, by Dean D. O. W. Holmes, of the College of Education, on the subject, "Student Activities." The speaker directed the attention of the freshman group to the unusual opportunities offered during a college career for participation in one or more fields of student activity during the important years in the lives of students spent in college, "Success," said the speaker, "is habit resulting from the fruitful pursuit of occupations in which success has been attained. Each time one does things well makes it easier to do the next thing well. A series of these small successes which require one to use initiative, carry responsibility and practice industry, instills in a person the feeling of confidence and develops those traits which must be necessary to success in the larger things of life, not loiter through college, standing on the side lines, watching the process go by and then suddenly leap into the arena of life and find honor and glory awaiting him. The men and women who lead in life are those who, by constantly trying to lead in school, developed the capacity for leadership which in turn is the essence of success." Examples were cited of persons now doing big things in the world who were formerly conspicuous as leaders in student affairs of the University.
Fraternities and Sororities were characterized by the speaker as sources of infinite good or infinite harm to university life depending upon the ideals of those who belong to them and hence determine their influence upon student life. The freshmen were advised to do their part when becoming members of these bodies, to keep the standings firm and high so that the ninth would always be the school of honor and an identification of worth to the wearer. Referring to student government the freshmen were told that people were given the right to rule themselves as they show competence to do so without disaster.

No Important Political Upsets
This year's election results furnish nothing of any special political significance. The Republicans managed to retain control of both branches of congress, although the Democrats made substantial gains in the senate. President Coolidge lost two more of his senatorial props in the defeat of Senator Butler of Massachusetts and Senator Wadsworth of New York by Democrats. But it is not believed that these additional reverses will have any depressing effect upon the accumulating demand for another Coolidge term. The wets and drys can derive small comfort from the results, except in local situations. A "wringing wet" Democrat defeated Senator Wadsworth, a moderate wet, and in Illinois the Democrats' choice Brennan, "wringing wet," was beaten by Frank Smith, dry, whom the Republican are accused of having "grafted" into the fight. In New York, where Governor A Smith was elected for the fourth time, the Negro vote was divided between Republicans and Democrats, and two colored candidates for the General Assembly from the Harlem districts were defeated. In Illinois the powerful Chicago Defender defeated the Democrats' candidate for the senate. In the South the results were as usual.

The Commercial Value of Misrepresenting A Race
It is announced that Octavus Roy Cohen notorious caricatures of the Negro which for years have been published in story form in the Saturday Evening Post are to be film
It is announced that Octavus Roy Cohen's notorious caricatures of the Negro which for years have been published in story form by the Saturday Evening Post are to be filmed for the great American cinema audience. Thus the work of propagandizing a false conception of Negro life goes on to the utmost of American facilities.
Meanwhile Dr. Caterer G. Woodson, the only man in America who is making a serious attempt in an organized way to record and disseminate the truth of Negro life and history is meeting with indifferent success in his efforts to raise a paltry $20,000 to further the work. It would appear that the American people—even the Negroes themselves—prefer a fictitious, false conception of Negro life to the real thing. They seem to prefer to pay for the caricatures invented by Cohen and others of his stripo who write for bread and butter rather than from a desire to advance truth or art, and the strange, weird, discoveries of Negro "night life" in Harlem's cabnets which Carl Van Vechten calls "Nigger Heaven," and which many critics—Negroes among them—have acclaimed the greatest book ever written on the Negro. There is no accounting for the intellectual tastes of American people when it comes to literature that deals with the Negro.
Van Vechten's "Nigger Heaven" has received more notice from literary critics and intellectual high-brows than the combined editions of Dr. Woodson's "The Negro in Our History," his "History of the Negro Church," or the combined volumes of his "Journal of Negro History."
While Dr. Woodson is not alone in writing the true facts of Negro life and history, his is the only organized movement in America for the scientific study of Negro life and history. There are DuBois, Johnson, White, Cullen, Hughes, Haynes, Brawley, Miller, Moton and others making important contributions to literature on the Negro, but none of them are receiving the notice, the financial backing or the propagandizing that is true of the school of so-called artists who are picturing the American Negro as certain American interests want him pictured rather than as he really is.
A Prosperous Negro Bank In Georgia
It should be of general interest that Savannah, Georgia, a city with a colored population given by the census of 1920 as 39,000, has a Negro bank with deposits of $1,160,614.13. This also in view of the fact that there are three other Negro banks in the same city. The Savannah Morning News of a recent date carried a story on the Wage Earners Savings Bank of Savannah, and gave its total resources as $1,305,988.93. As corollary to this splendid showing in savings bank deposits the Morning News stated that "in proportion to the population a greater number of Negroes in Savannah and Chatham county own their homes than in any of the other centers of Negro population." Concrete evidence that industry, savings, thrift and good citizenship go hand-in-hand.
The name of this prosperous bank is significant. President Williams is quoted as saying: "We have sought to make the
Wage Earners Savings Bank, as its name implies, a veritable 'service station' for wage earners, who represent the masses of our race. Where wage earners are permitted to work at fair wages there is general prosperity in which the community shares.
Savannah profits by having an employed, contented, well-treated group of Negro Workers. The result is more money spent for the necessities of life, more and larger, taxpayers, better home life, better citizens.
There is a lesson in this Georgia city for other cities that aim to keep their colored workers out of certain gainful occupations; that forever nag after them with proscriptive regulations that circumscribe their use of public utilities and public parks and that do not permit them to have transportation facilities and public utilities for the development of their residential subdivisions. We do not have to go outside of Virginia to find such cities.
New Interest In Newspapering
THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE congratulates W. McKoy, Williston High School student, Wilmington, N. C., upon having on the silver trophy offered by this paper the best editorial written and published a North Carolina high school paper in the school year 1925-1926. Mr. McKoy's tutorial, "High School Athletics," was used from 282 editorials which appeared papers published by standard high school State. The final judge was Dr. J. Kinn Brawley, head of the department of English, Shaw University, a recognized authority on English literature.
Interest manifested in this contest, such as to inspire the JOURNAL NOTE not only to offer a similar trophy to competitors in the North Carolina schools, but to extend the offer, through Virginia authorities and principals to students of the accredited public high school this State.
This contest was proposed by Prof. Robinson, supervisor of Colored Schools for North Carolina. The object is to stimulate interest in the journalism among students, and as a result of the study of current events and curriculum. That the contest went far and achieved its purpose in the North Carolina high schools is attested by a number of the principals. In forwarding the motion of the judges, Prof. J. K. Hilyman of the editorial contest committee: "On behalf of the committee and the standard high schools of North Carolina which were contestants in this contest wish to thank you for this trophy with a offer and which has proved to be a incentive of inestimable value."
Journalism, or "newspapering," a major men like to call their work, is forming a distinct profession with large facilities for constructive service as well as respondingly appropriate emoluments material returns. There is no branch human endeavor at the present time where a larger or more virgin field for the public service. The past decade has a period of unprecedented growth in newspaper, due to entrance into business of newspaper men of the modern thought and training, and to growth of the race in literacy and mate sessions and the resultant recognition of the race as an economic asset.

When death claimed George W. Braye, for fifty years a school teacher, more than forty of which he spent in the Norfolk County school system, there was removed one more of that dwindling first line of Negro educators. Not so long ago Mr. Braye was preceded to the grave by another of those consecrated pioneers in education of the colored youth, when the late A. J. J. Sykes, of South Norfolk, was garnered to his reward. Mr. Sykes, too, was a Norfolk County school teacher and had given forty years to the cause.
Picture the day when these pilgrims started on their journey in the educational world; the day when they first gathered about them their very recently emancipated pupils to point them to the way of useful citizenship. No commodious and pretentious buildings then stood beckoning the Negro youth to come and drink from the fount of learning; salaries for white school teachers in the South were niggarly and for Negroes virtually nothing. There was an unfriendly, even hostile sentiment in the South regarding education of the blacks and such pioneer teachers as Braye and Sykes were compelled to be first of all gentlemen and diplomats on race relations of the very first order as not to offend that pronounced hostile sentiment and give Negro education a terrible setback. With their race struggling in a pall of ignorance and superstition, they maintained an unquenchable faith in its capacity to be led out of the darkness and at the same time practiced a self reserve that bordered on self abnegation in order that they might not appear bumptious and offend, lest the meagre funds then available for their work, which a certain element was already proclaiming a waste, be not entirely suspended. How well they served their cause, which was as dear to their hearts as life itself, is immeasurable. The influence they exerted upon their race, upon their country and upon humanity is immortal.
Mr. Brave was first of all a teacher. He loved his work with a consuming passion. His was an utterly selfless life, filled with good deeds on the road to a successful career. Poor, but ambitious boys struggling for an education always received encouragement from him and found in him a generous friend. Save the pathetic and unfortunate circumstances attending his death, he died as he had wished to die, in harness in the service of his people, country and his God.

THE GUIDE POST
By RICHARD H. BOWLING
A Child Whines
Poor little fellow. He seemed so peevish and fretful. This long train trip was too much for this two and a half year old boy. He had not the understanding or the power to live happily with himself when hedged about by the limitations of his mother's seat on a crowded coach. So, while larger children played with their dolls or made faces at one another for fun, and older people either read newspapers and magazines and books or else went off into pleasant reveries, this poor little
A. B. C.
fellow twisted and turned and made himself even more miserable by peevishly complaining.
There are many persons who have come to mature years who have no right to look condescendingly upon this fretful child. They also give way to more whining when beginst with limitations. One takes sick. He is told by his physician that he must have absolute rest in bed for an extended period. But he immediately begins to neutralize his rest cure by worrying. He complains to every visitor that there is nothing he hates worse than having to stay in bed. Poor fellow, he never stops to think that a few good books, the daily papers, resignation to the doctor's orders, and cheerful conversation with his callers would both restore him to health the sooner and make his confinement pleasant.
Another meets with some great buffetment. By some means he is denied some coveted prize. By no fault of his, maybe, a cherished ambition is thwarted. Immediately he begins to beate Fate and the justice of God and the fickleness of human friendship. He spends the rest of his life complaining of how a good man cannot get another course. Suppose he would admit his defeat, but begin quietly to analyze it, putting the blame upon himself for his part in it. Suppose he would, finding himself absolutely not to blame, regard his defeat as possibly the hand of God holding him to his present task and leading him into the doing of more intensive work or fitting him through hardship and hindrance for the filling of a still better position later on. Frequently such a man would find more of joy and more of opportunity in his defeat than there would have been for him in immediate victory.
Another is visited by the Grim Messenger. Death has done his worst. The companion of twenty years has been summoned away for all time. Pitiful little children keep asking where they have taken Mama. Double duty now devolves upon his shoulders. How much better than unrestrained grief or desertion of his family or complaining bitterness against God it would be, if such a man would give himself to prayer for Divine strength and to redoubled effort to measure up to his new task.

The Mote In Mexico's Eve

Two journals of Mexico City, the Universal and Excelsior, simultaneously publish protests against the campaign of defamation which they say part of the American press wages against Mexico. So it does. So does part of the American press—a small and unimportant part—speak in a defamatory way of greedy Britain, ungrateful France, militaristic Germany, and so on. But the Mexicans should not feel greatly disturbed. We believe we can assure them that the intelligent majority of Americans fully realize the following facts:

But the Mexicans should not feel greatly disturbed. We believe we can assure them that the intelligent majority of Americans fully realize the following facts:
(1) There is a certain amount of violence in Mexico; but there is also an appalling amount of lynching, gang murder and banditry in the United States. Herrin is not in Mexico. (2) Mexico has her religious difficulties and friction; but it is in the United States, not Mexico, that a masked Klan has enlisted members by the hundred thousand, bedeveded politics and become responsible for widespread corruption and disorder. (3) We hear of pulque and its evils; but Mexico has no counterpart for the bootleger, the hijacker, the beer-gaster, and all the rest. (4) We hear occasionally of politics and scandals in Mexico; but Messrs. Fall, Daugherty and Forbes, Govs. McCray and Len Small, Col. Frank Smith and the others are citizens of the United States, not Mexico. (5) Mexico was slow in ending peonage and has a Yaqui campaign on hand; but she did not have to wage a bloody civil war to abolish slavery and her treatment of the Indians is lily-white beside our Indian record.
In short, intelligent Americans think more of the beam in our own national eye than of the mote in Mexico's. There have been times when the effort of jingo publications and selfishly interested individuals and organizations to arouse prejudice against Mexico was alarming; but this is not one of them. The quick disappearance of the flurries over land confiscation and religious persecution shows that we are glad to mind our own business.

BOOK CHAT
"TOM TOM" by John W. Vanderbilt
Published by Harper and Brothers, 45
East 32rd Street, New York City, Price
$3.50 paid.
Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
young married folk, penetrated
into the jungle of Sri Linn,
Dutch Guiana, and lived for a
time with the Bush Negroes, descendants of slaves who two
centuries ago began successful revolt against their masters. They were received in kindness and were shown many places and initiated into many thing unknown before to whites. This book is a story of their trip with a history of the Bush Negro rebellion. Two Chapters of it appeared before publication in Harper's Monthly.
Mr. Vandercook has met the civilization of the African jungle and he admires it unreservedly. He has no missionary zeal to change these jungle folk. "In the great jungle," he says, "the Bush Negroes have built a philosophy, a science and an art which belongs to the jungle and enables them to live there, to triumph over the disasters of material misfortune, and to attune their hearts and minds to the weird moods of the forest—moods of curious fear that have vanquished foreign empires for a thousand years. Theirs is a civilization as truly as is any in the world." This civilization moves him profoundly, and besides his descriptions of the life of the forest, he has "made an attempt to explore another region long neglected—the curious realm of the jungle black man's mind."
Mr. Vandercook ends, as he begins with saying that to his mind there is no hope for the modern Negro who continues in the way he is now vainly going. The black man of America becomes a poor copy of his conquerors—blached skin and straightened hair—and the mystic spirit that once knew the eternal strives in female competition with the white man for material things. Let him go, if not in body, in spirit to Surinam or Africa and learn that "the fathers of the race had and still possess blessed secrets, wonderful lore, and great philosophies and that rank the jungle Negro's civilization as the equal, and in many respects the superior, of any way that is to be found anywhere in the world." Knowing this he should respect himself, and never, by imitation, accept the standards of his conquerors.

Louis P. Lochner, of the Berlin Bureau of the Associated Press, is negotiating with German publishers to have "Bursting Bonds" by William Pockenput into the German language. Writing concerning the book, he says: "Bursting Bonds' has stirred me as few things have. I could not tear myself away from it until I had read it from cover to cover in one sitting."

During my stay in Russia with the American Delegation of Students, I visited factories in Moscow, Nijihni Novgorod, Saratov, Kharykhov, Gorlovka and other places. In all, inquiries were made in regard to the social benefits preceded for workers in the various factories. I found that a certain per cent of the returns of each factory was paid to the state to cover the social insurance for the workers. Trade unions, likewise, set aside a sum

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS By KELLY MILLER
Some one asked me, a little while ago—"who won the coal
strike in Great Britain?" I replied that the English won. I am prepared to give a similar response to the like query concerning the late election. It makes little or no difference which party gained the incidental ad-

vantage, the white race won. Two good white men were sent to the Senate from New York and Massachusetts, and two equally good white men were relegated to private life. New York elected a good Democratic governor and Massachusetts an equally good Republican governor. Those that were left were just as good as those that were chosen. The government at Washington still lives, leaving the Negro as impotent before as after the election.
The outcome of the election was decisive. Neither party gained a definite victory. The weight of advantage went to the Democrats, who so increased the relative strength in Congress as to give greater trouble to the ad-
of money for social benefits. In Russia one is impressed with the fact that the workers are considered to be of more importance than the expansion of industry—or the making of profits. The human element comes first. Wages are the smallest item in the workers' reward for labor. Needs such as recreation, travel, sick and insurance benefits, medical attention, housing, the education of their children, the yearly holiday and rest are supplied by the state. The trade unions also grant certain benefits.
The care of workers' health is emphasized everywhere in the Soviet Union. I saw rest homes, resorts and hospitals for workers in several cities and in the Crimea. At Sumara, for example, our delegation had dinner at a rest home for workers. There were 550 workers at this home. The place was neat and clean. There were well kept flower gardens and provisions were made for recreation and games.
Our delegation visited a tubercular hospital near Sumatra where 135 patients were receiving medical attention. While there we were informed that trade unions were allotted a certain number of beds in such hospitals according to their membership. On the recommendation of a physician a member of the trade union who is in the most urgent need of medical attention is sent to the hospital. All workers receive an annual vacation with pay. The length of vacation varies from two weeks to a month according to the kind and danger of the work to health in which one is engaged. Coal miners get a month's vacation.
I saw what is being done for workers in Don Basin coal fields at Gorlova. Already 112 new homes have been built. These homes are built of stone and some of lumber to house families of four, six and eight members. Electricity is being installed and modern equipment for service and comfort of the miners and their families. A new hospital and a palace of labor are in the process of construction. Practically all homes built before the revolution are still occupied. The new homes are much larger and more sanitary. They surpass any of the homes for the miners in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania.
When our delegation visited the secretary of State Planning Commission (Gosplan) in Moscow, we met one of the enthusiastic workers of Russia. He had been to America for over eight years and was imprisoned in 1919 for radical activities. He explained his preference for Soviet Russia in this way: "In America there was nothing but work and work! After one has finished working, one is too tired to go anywhere. And there is little amusement or recreation for the workers. Here it is different. I can go to the theater, visit friends or read; and I am not too tired to enjoy my leisure. If I feel bad or sick I go to my comrade and say I want to go home, and it's all right. I do not have any boss here. I am my own boss."
This idea of being one's own boss, of being free to quit work when one is sick, seems to permeate the whole working class. One works for one's self and for the common good. It is this idea that furnishes the motive power for increasing production and social reconstruction in the Soviet Union.
Booker T. Washington, Patron Saint
"Another disappointing result of the recent Congressional election, says Dr. Kelly Miller, is the moral failure of woman's suffrage. It was widely proclaimed that when women got the right to vote, they would purify the evils of masculine politics. But the results are sadly disappointing, avers Dr. Miller, who adds that nowhere can we trace the moral effect of the female vote.
versary, and who escape responsibility for results for want of a majority. This gives them a strategic advantage in the preliminary skirmish for the next national election.
Another disappointing result of the election is the moral failure of woman's suffrage. It was widely proclaimed that when women got the right to vote, they would purify the evils of masculine politics. It was specifically expected that they would banish the saloon from the land. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, under the leadership of Frances E. Willard, created the sentiment that made the Eighteenth Amendment possible. We would ordinarily take it for granted that every woman would vote dry to save their sons from the hellward allurements of the saloon. It was hard to believe that any amount of partisan persuasion or political involvement could swerve her from this motherly resolve. But the results are sadly disappointing. No where can we trace the moral effect of the female vote. In the South they vote with the men to override the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment; while in the North with sheeplike obedience they follow their masculine masters for the destruction of the saloon, against which every feminine instinct revolts. The great states of New York, Illinois, Massachusetts and Ohio went wet by virtue of the female vote. The women can make the nation dry, if they will utilize their franchise to bring about this desirable result.
In the next election both parties will be hard pressed for issue. From the standpoint of political expediency, the Democratic party will be wet. This old jackass of a party is split two ways. Its supporters in the South are, dry, in the North, wet; they are anti-klan in the North, and pro-klan in the South; in one section they are Protestant, in the other Catholic. These lines of cleavage split the party in twain during the last presidential campaign. It requires a political genius to weld such a heterogeneous aggregation into a solid, compact fighting unity. Its only hope is that the religious and klan issues can be held in abeyance. The liquor issue cannot be suppressed, William Jennings Bryan used to warn that the Democratis party should not be buried in a drunkard's grave. The Democratis only chance, however, in the next election is to put up a wet candidate. The South will vote for a wet Democrat; but New York and New Jersey which are essential to
UPPER SANDUSKY UNION
While Ireland singles loudly the virtues of its patron, Saint Patrick, and many other nations and races laud the names of heroes outstanding among them, the Negro race in America has not yet come to realize what Booker T. Washington did for them and that he was a saint indeed in their midst.
Washington's life is a perpetual challenge to the youth of all nations and races in the saying "Obstacles are things to be overcome." No obstacles seemed insurmountable to him, from the time he left home and went to Baltimore where he laid his head on Mother Earth's pillow under a board walk at night as the cheapest lodging place he could find, until he dined with the President of the United States in the White House.
In the founding of Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington gave a legacy to the Negro race that will remain through time. If the colored boys and girls that now attend that institution can think back to the time when its founder presented himself a travel-stained, hungry boy for admission at Hampton Institute in Virginia, with no funds to pay his tuition and no friends to pay it for him, they might well resolve that there are no obstacles too great for them to overcome. For that penniless boy managed to gain admission, and when the Class of 75 was graduated, Booker T. Washington was on the honor roll of speakers.
We hear much these days of young men and women who say they would enter college but they have no one to pay their tuition.
Democratic success, will not vote for a dry one. Such will continue to be the state of the case, unless, or until, the dry South and the dry West eliminate other political differences and join hands to make the nation dry. This will hardly take place in the next campaign. The wet East is too intricately entangled with the West in bonds of political union to be severed, for the present, even on so great and grave a moral issue.
The Republican party will desire to dodge the prohibition question in the next election as it dodged the klan issue in the last one. Nothing but the persistent insistence of the masses of voters will save it from the cowardice of its conscience. Herein lies the strategic opportunity of the women and Negro voters. If these two groups who constitute the vast majority of the voters will make it known, in no unmistakable terms, that they will not under guide or disguise support a wet platform or a wet party, the crafty politicians will not dare go contrary to their openly declared purpose.
This moral appeal should strike the Negro even more strongly than the woman voter. He has been reduced to a political nullity. Party truimph makes no difference to his political fortune. He fares no better under Harding and Coolidge. He need not expect appointment to office, or affirmative legislation or equal protection of the law. it matters not which party or what person occupies the White Houses. If the experience of the last twenty years does not convince him of this fact, it shows his utter lack of political understanding. The line of political policy pursued in the past affords no satisfactory results and promises none.
The weak group is strong only when it buckles on the armor of righteousness when it murries itself to a righteous cause, it requires strength by virtue of its espousement. If the race will stand squarely by the Eighteenth Amendment, both because it is the law and because it is morally right, nothing can prevail against it.
I predict that the race will have much influence on the next platform of the R.publican party, which will be forcedly dry and will gain great advantage under the next administration, should that party prevail. But should it be defeated by its wet rival, still the Negro would be held in high political respect because he stood by a principle to which even its despoilers must pay homage. On the other hand, suppose he does not follow this line of advice, and goes on in the way he has been going during in the past quarter of a century, under an impotent, inane and selfish leadership, who has the hardihood to predict the political fortune of the race in 1930? Political speaking, the Negro would do well to apply the slogan of the old hymn to the gospel of prohibition:
"I can but perish if I go. I am resolved to try;
For if I stay away, I know, I shall forever die."
What these youths need is to read the story of Booker T. Washington's life, "Up From Slavery," and say, "If a colored boy such as he could overcome all the obstacles he had to encounter, I should be able to overcome trifles."
When Booker T. Washington took hold of the proposition to make Tuskegee a college where every Negro boy and girl of merit might receive an education, it was a landless, buildingless, teacherless, studentless institution of learning. A pleasant task to take hold of, especially for a penniless Negro. But Washington had tackled some hard problems before and was ready to tackle another, and today that institution stands as a living monument to his memory. At that time there were many among the white who were strongly opposed to education for the Negro, declaring it made him a worthless scamp. Many Negroes themselves did not care. And when this parton saint of the Negroes borrowed $500 with which to purchase a tract of land on which to found his dream of an institution of learning, scores laughed the idea to seorn as a foolish dream.
But when Booker T. W. Washington died eleven years ago the school had an attendance of 1800 students, with property valued at $2,000,000, where forty-seven trades were taught at an institution a living monument to one peniless boy's vision of the future. Although his body has been laid to rest, his "soul goum marching on" as the patron saint of the colored race.
