Norfolk Journal and Guide FOLLOW THE GUIDE In Least To PROGRESS ELK GRAND OFFICERS HERE Crowd Greets Visitors And Gives Joyous Reception ARE ROYALLY FETED More than a thousand Elks and their friends gathered at Eureka Lodge Home on East Brambleton avenue Wednesday night to welcome Grand Daughter Ruler Ella G. Berry, of Chicago; Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, of Washington, the grand vice daughter ruler, the grand assistant daughter ruler and other Grand Temple officers. The occasion which was a joint reception of Norfolk Elk lodges and temples to the grand officers of the Temple and the grand exalted ruler proved a genuine Elk night and a grand ruler at that day. Elks the scene must have been one of extraordinary significance, for there were gathered doubles the largest number of Grand Temple officers ever brought here, the birthplace of feminine Elkdom, on a single occasion, during the Grand Convention, sitting in the venerable of the founder and for many the most single-handed woman in the Daughter Secretary and the Mother, Emma V. Kessler forever, it was at the instance of Grand Daughter Secretary Kelley that these, the grand officers of her brain-child, Daughter Elks, here to view the shores from which the barkentine of women Elks first set sail and to sit down, fraternize with the skipper of that barkentine. The Entertainment Besides music and dancing—that is dancing for all those who were unable of maneuvering a dance in a square foot of space—for that all the density of the crowd allowed each couple; eating from tables that fairly groaned under the weight of turkey and the fixes, there were the usual Elk oracleal woventechnics. J. M. Harrison, lawyer, delivered the welcome address on behalf of the citizens. Mr. Harrison sustained his reputation as a public speaker Mrs. Abbie Johnson, of Philadelphia, grand vice daughter, responded. Her speech and manner easily won a warm place for her in the hearts of her hearts. There there were remarks by Mrs. Hattie I. Williams, of Hillsville, Fla., assistant ruler and daughter ruler. The principal addresses were made by Mrs. Ella G. Gerry, the grand daughter ruler, Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, V. Kelley, through addresses made by Dr. E. Mills, who introduced Mr. Wilson, and Rev. T. D. Lee, who introduced Mrs. Berry, Execlte d Coller Jerry O. Gilliam, who responded to the addresses, were marking. The reading by Mrs. and the solo by Mrs. Maud C. Johnson added considerable delight to the occasion. in his speech Mr. Wilson recognized the Elks program and hedges himself anew to give his hat and all to put over that program. Mother Kelley's addres s a gue of inspiration to her younger conrudes. She pledges a gue her most loyal support to forward the cause of Elkdom. No speech from either the men the women failed to laud the wonderful efforts of the Supreme Mother in bringing together in a single organization 35,000 American Negro women for the purpose of elevating womanhood. So prince, and sincere she the comprised for her that tears of gratitude up in her eyes and her angestood quietly on she remembered Mrs. Kelley presided a number of mementos to her grand officers, every one of them expressed extreme delight at being visited Nonfolk. S. B. Noble was master of ceremonies, and the occasion goes down in history as another Big Elk Night, not marked only by festivity, but diffusing a secretive intimacy of men and women.

GIVES BLOOD TO SAVE LIFE OF A WOMAN PATIENT Protestant Hospital Employee Heroically Allows A Robert V. Crandall, an employee of the Norfolk Protestant Hospital, recently allowed a transfusion of blood from his veins into the veins of Mrs. Bertha Ward, who was a maternity patient at the hospital at the time. One pint of blood was given by Mr. Crandall to save the life of a man who is a resident of Virginia, Van, and was a patient in the hospital until November 18. Her condition rapidly improved following the transfusion. SAY PULLMAN PORTERS SEEK BROTHERHOOD New York City, Dec. 3—Pullman company officials are said to be disturbed by the number of men, old in the service, who are joining the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters throughout the Middle The resignation from service of E. J. Bradley, one of the most popular and influential men in the district, to take charge of the St. Louis Mo. office office is said to have been a bomb shell to the company officials. Bradley has been in the Pullman service for seventeen years. DesVarnay is said be one of the old time self and became disgusted with the underhand methods of the Pullman company in dealing with working conditions among the porters and quit the company to devote his time and company to organize the porters in an effort to force the company to give the workers a better deal. He reports over 70 percent organization in the St. Louis terminal. Announcement has been received that Dr. W. E. B.

Though not as well attended as the Norfolk meeting in 1925, from the standpoint of results achieved this year's Conference was the most profoundly significant of all similar gatherings during the thirty-nine years of the Association's existence. Fine Program The program was of the very highest type, and was carried out with clock-like precision. Prominent among the speakers were Hon. Harris Hart, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Virginia; Hon. Charles D. Fox, mayor of Roanoke; Superintendent D. E. McQuillen, of the Rochester City College; Hon. Eason Eason, State Supervisor of Teacher Training; Miss Rasa Abutler, professor of Education, Virginia State College; Dr. William T. Sanger, president of the Medical College of Virginia; Dr. M. M. Proffit, United States Bureau of Education; Dr. Kelley Miller, Howard University, Washington; Dr. C. M. Angelo Parr, Bausch College and author of New York; Assistant Superintendent H. Howard H. Long of the Washington, D. C. Schools; and Dr. J. M. Gandy, president of the Association. Departmental Conferences In addition to the general meetings which were attended by more than five hundred delegates and hundreds of visitors, departmental conferences were held by the following groups: Rural Teachers, Primary Teachers, Grammar School Teachers, Elementary School Principals, High School Principals, and Teachers. Teachers of Home Economics and Industrial Arts, County Supervisors, and Parent-Teacher Leagues. Each of these groups carried out splendid programs featured by addresses, discussions, demonstrations and reports. The departmental meetings were held at the Harrison High School building while all of the general programs were rendered in the First Baptist Church, concurring mer avenue and No. Jefferson street. One of the fine features of the program was a scholarly and Thanksgiving sermon delivered to the delegates and visitors by Rev. A. L. James, pastor of the First Baptist Church at 11 o'clock Thanksgiving Day. New Constitution The adoption of the new constitution made sweeping changes in the Association's organization. The name of the Association was changed so that the body will hereafter be known as the Virginia State Teachers' Association. Under the new constitution, the State will be divided into eleven districts, each of which is to be organized as a part of the State Teachers' Association. Organizers were appointed in each district, but out of this new constitution provides for a president, elevator of the presidents—the presidents of the eleven districts, an executive secretary, a secretary of Teacher-Placement, a secretary of Educational Research, a treasurer and a registrar. The executive secretary will in the future edit the Virginia Teachers' Bulletin—the Association's official organ, formulate the annual program, and conduct the business affairs of the body. The Teacher-Placement Secretary will endeavor to secure positions for members of the Association who are out of employment. The secretary of Educational Research will conduct studies of educational conditions in Virginia as they affect the Negro people. Officers Elected Dr. John M.

CHARLES W. BALDWIN. D.D. (In Boston Evening Transcript) Morgan College, Baltimore, Md., after sixty years devoted to the advancement of the Negro race, is making what the management of the school freely admits to be a desperate plea for assistance to meet its operative needs. For threecore years it has sent into the Negro communities of the United States an ever increasing number of young men and women trained to minister to the educational, social and religious needs of the blacks. But at a time when the institution upon it and, consequently its opportunities are greatest, the institution is confronted by a financial problem of grave importance and unusual possibilities. Need Endowment That is the situation as set forth by Dr. J. O. Spencer, president of the school. He makes no effort to minimize the seriousness of the crisis. As is true of most schools not tax supported, Morgan College must "endow or die." It has an endowment, now, of $65,000, the income from which, with tuition fees and gifts, must maintain buildings and equipment valued at over $700,000, and provide a faculty for between 700 and 800 students. That, the management says, is clearly impossible. Financial comfort, it is said, cannot be realized short of an endowment of $500,000, later to be increased to $1,000,000. Morgan College is the outgrowth of the philanthropic effort of a venerable and retired Methodist minister, white, to equip seven illiterate people to be their cilling, the ministry. Granted the use of a small room in a Negro church, he insisted the help of other ministers and organized a school. As the original seven passed out others came to take their places. The demand was so insistent it could be denied, but the preparation for the ministry required a school for general culture and training. The class of seven, of sixty years ago, has become a college of Grade "A", so rated by the stand- GETS HIGH BERTH IN LEGION Vice Commander Of The Department Of North Carolina STEP IN RAGE AMITY Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 1—The election of Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, of Raleigh, as Vice Commander of the Department of North Carolina, The American Legion, marks a most progressive step in interracial cooperation. State Commander Paul R. Younts of Charlotte announced the action of the State Executive Committee in selecting Mr. Oxley for the post. The new vice commander automatically becomes a member of the State Executive Committee. Lieut. Oxley has been commander of the Charles T. Norwood Post 157, the American Legion, located at Raleigh, during the past two years. This organization of Negro veterans was the first post to show the Mason and then to be granted a charter. The new vice commander has been active throughout the State in all matters pertaining to the welfare of Negro veterans, and this election comes as a recognition of his efforts in this field. During the World War, Lieut. Oxley served as the only Negro Morale Officer on the General Staff, U. S. A., and for three years following the war he was teacher of the Social Sciences at St. Augustine's School, Raleigh. During the war Lieut. Oxley has been director of the Bureau of Work Among Negroes, North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. College Issues for Assistance Inst Institutions Facing New Years of Devoted Educational Field hardizing agencies. Its corps of teachers and administrators num- bers forty-seven. Its student body in all departments exceeded 700 last year. Besides the college in Baltimore offering courses leading to the bachelors' degrees, it maintains at Princess Anne, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, a vocational school of junior college grade with a farm of 117 acres and fairly well equipped shops. This latter school is in scholastic subjects, and for boys, training in farming, dairying and the mechanic arts; for girls, various branches of domestic science and art. Serving Need The preservation of Morgan College at its present high efficiency is vastly important, not merely to its locality, but also to the wider territory represented by the students. They come not only from Maryland, but from Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, District of Columbia, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and West Virginia, India, Afghanistan, Central America and other parts have contributed their quota of students. The wife of the president of the Republic of Liberia is a graduate of this school. Those who know the work the college is doing say it must continue to serve the needs of the Negro race in this area, and incidentally contribute to distant lands. They point with pride to hundreds of graduates who are serving their people as teachers, ministers—there are two bishops numbered among them—doctors, lawyers and social workers, to say nothing of the many who are engaged in trades, on farms and in business enterprises. It is considered particularly significant, among the students of education on the Negro, that but one graduate of the school in sixty years of its existence has had a criminal record. And yet this work must suffer at least serious curtailment unless FOURTEEN PAGES, IN TWO PARTS YSLER MAN KILLS IN-LAWAND WOUNDS Becomes Enraged When Family Interfer Between Himself MANBACK Regulation U.S. bain the papers written in the Journal description cam- number of is 25,120,500. carried off the Stanback is commercial Bank SLAYER MAKES HIS ESCOPE WON CHRYSLER HARRY S.

Aside from being Grand Keeper of Records and Seal for the Virginia K. of P., Mr. West is in the U. S. Postal Service and would have his time all taken up if he had to deliver papers to all the subscribers he secured. The financial problem of the school is solved and its housing and equipment needs are provided. If the trustees pay off their entire debt and accumulate cash in h and $50,000, the General Board has proposed $50,000, making the sum of $100,000 available to accumulate a formatory to accumulate an additional 100 boys. From pledges made and to be made the sum of $200,000 cash must be had to meet the requirements of the General Education Board, and this should be done by January 1927. This crusade provides for immediate needs only. The necessary endowment is set in the future. The invaluable history and far-reaching influence of this school.

WHISKEY FOUND IN GOVERNOR'S PARTY CLAIMED By Negro Servant, Who Steps In To Save His Chief From Embarrassment (By The Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 1—Sacrifice on the part of a colored servant, Henry Hudson, is to save the governor of Alabama, W. W. Brandon, and eight other whites, from to trial on charges of violating the state prohibition law. The governor and his friends were enjoying a week-end at the governor's club at Bay Minette in a squad of sheriff's deputies swooped down and confiscated the quarts of whiskey and twice that many empty bottles. This club has been the scene of many similar parties. Hudson, the steward of the club, and the only Negro around, agreed to go to court and admit that the liquor was his, whereupon the big whites were freed. Brandon, the governor, has promised to pardon Hudson if he is sent to jail and no doubt the servant will receive a handsome reward. He is to be represented in court by an attorney for one of the firms who had a representative at the party. Brandon is supposed to be a dry politically, but his critics aver his term has revealed an extraordinary leniency toward protest violators. His admissions had enjoyed the liquor, although it did not belong to him.

Tuesday morning police had not been able to ascertain definitely what were the events leading up directly to the triple shooting. Perry shot to death Mrs. Rebecca Troter and Mrs. Mar garet Harper, sisters of his wife, and sent a bullet thru the cheek of his wife Mrs. Mary Perry, that severed her tongue. She lies at St. Vincent's Hospital in a critical condition. He has not been apprehended. Estranged. From Wife It is known that Perry had estranged from his wife for some time and on the day of the shooting had soight a reconciliation, is believed. The other sisters are alleged to have gone to the shooting both, and he then abducted his wife. Mrs. Trotter and Mrs. Harper died instantly. The shooting took place in the home of Mrs. Margaret Harper on Lanvale street, with whom it is alleged. Mrs. Perry had been temporarily making her home. Just what the events immediately preceded the shooting were it difficult to determine because of the fact that there appears not to have been another person in the house except those killed in the case critically injured. Neighborhood reports state, however, that Mrs. Perry, while on an errand to a york store, was confronted by her husband who attempted to straighten out the difficulties between them. He escorted her to the house, it is said, where her sisters interfered, with the shooting as the result. Perry, it is learned, was not regarded by those who knew him as a desperate character. All of women in the tragedy are said to have borne good applause. They are memorialed the Harper family that died in Centennial Lane, and quite well-known throughout certain sections of the city. Their bodies were turned over to Hale's Funeral Parlor to be prepared for burial. Detectives Nowitzky and Weinbrod have the case under investigation. IS ANNOUNCED GUIDE CONTEST E WINNERS N.

YOUNG Washington, D. C.—The Lions of Lincoln, but a ghost of the machine of a month ago, fighting gamely until the end, were not able to check the onward march of Jack Cole, "Tick" Smith, Dan Brown, Edgar Ross, who guided by the rythmic maneuvers of Coach Watson's forward wall, floated the Blue and White banner to a 32 to 0 triumph. With a clear and bleak autumn overhead, and a brisk and chilly breeze sweeping the gridiron, nearly 25,000 followers of the annual classic assembled in the new stadium which was dedicated at the o'clock, an hour before the start of the game. The limelight must rightly be armed to the smiling face of Jackotes. It was he who did Howard's big share in kicking, which included the points after touchdown. Besides, he crossed the cool line twice, and did a considerable amount of line bucking, end kissing, and tackling. Besides, he lid a lot move. Closely allied to the brilliance of Coles was "Tick" Smith whose low circles of the ends soon became appealing to the Lincoln rabble which usually makes itself easily heard as a result of kindness. He liked with pride pretty tingling line buckling, Howard got no more touchdowns. Brown and Ross Star Also Brown and Ross each came in for the additional amount of praise usually subsequent to a football game. Brown plowed through the line almost at will, while Ross heaved the long passes and short passes that brought the spectators to their tip toes. It was his well aimed delivery to which Simpson, a substitute end, leaped into the air and connected, and raced 20 yards over the goal line in one of the very flashy plays of the occasion. On the line there were Captain V. B. Smith, in tackle, Rainey in guard, and "Bill" Martin at center, as chief props to the defence, and drills on the offence. Though humbled decidedly, Lincoln was not without virtues. Coach Young has done good work in developing out of practically all new material, and somewhat green at that, an eleven capable of making the record credited to the Lions this season. Lincoln's backs were less brilliant this time than they have been before, but the fault seems to lie in the versatility of their opponent. The interference recorded her running mates was not extra good, and with a hard charging opposing line to get to them, she was not an easy task for them to "shish." Martin as per record, got away for several thrilling runs, Hibber, too, occasionally flashed. Young released a number of remarkable passes and punts, but on the whole, there was nothing about the backfield of Orange and Blue to be glaring to the eyes. Captain Grasty, a tackle, fought a courageous battle, and by his fight and coaxing inspired his teammates. Grasty's work was the best on the Lincoln line, and he stands high up in the list for the apportionment of plaudits. Bryant, in guard, and Temple, an end, were also outstanding in line play. Howard Scores Early Winning the toss, Captain Smith chose, to receive the kick-off. Starting on their own 40-yard line, t ebisons initiated a march down the field that was stopped not until the goal had been crossed by "Tick" Smith. With Coles contributing the greatest share of ground gaining, and Brown and Smith appreciable amounts, Howard collected four first downs in her first fruitful march. The try for a drop-kick by Coles failed. Later in the first quarter, Lincoln was forced to punt with her back against the wall. Ross received the punt on the Lions' 46-yard line. Five yards gained on an off-side penalty, and nine more by Dan Brown on two thrusts netted a first down on the 37-yard mark. Coles drove off seven, "Tick" Smith one, and Brown hit for 15 more and a first down. The first period ended with the score 6 to 0 in favor of Howard. Taking the ball on the 12-yard line, Smith raced around right end for the second tally of the day. Again Coles was baffled in his at- The stadium was filled with spectators, many of whom were wearing hats and scarves. The crowd was cheering and clapping, and many were holding up signs. The stadium was crowded, and the atmosphere was lively. SHAW MAKES BOLD STAND, BUT RAMPAGING A. & T. CRASH THRU IN CLEAN AND HARD FOUGHT GAME tempt at the extra point through the drop-kick way. The third touchdown came in the same quarter when one of Lincoln's punt from the 30-yard mark advanced about three and one-half feet, and was covered by Howard on the "pennsylvania" Smith scored three yards, and Coles 10, but in the next session of downs, the Blue was unable to cover the required distance, so Lincoln took the ball. After gaining four yards, Preston punted to Smith who received the pigskin on the opposition's 35-yard line and moved forward 10 yards. Again Smith struck the Orange and Blue which bent and yielded seven yards on a couple of balls. Dan Brown who was called on to make first down. He did so and had an overlap of two yards. After Smith had failed to advance Jack Coles ran off 12 yards, and on the next thrust circled right end for the tally. Kicking the extra point, Jack made the count 19-0, which score had not changed when the half ended shortly following. Howard Scores in Each Quarter A fresh supply of backs was sent to the scene of action in the third period to support Coles, Jack Young, Ewell, and Tyson all with valuable contributions from their quarterback, earned enough ground to place the ball on the 12-yard mark from which point, Coles nosed through tackle and pierced the lime whitewash that denoted a certain valuable ward under the protection of Lincoln university. But the stalwart young pilot failed to make the drop-kick so the score was 25 to nothing. About the most thrilling play of the afternoon that was not particularly repitish with exciting moves, resulted in Howard's last fall. After the final quarter had gotten well under way, Rose, the retitleryman of the Bisons, standered on his own play line, haveed a bullet-like pass to Donis Simpson who ran 26 yards to score. Coles drop-kicked the extra point, and the score stood 22 to nothing favoring the lads of the Capital city. The game ended before further harm could be wrought upon the innocent, and then appreciably tamed Lions from the wilds of Pennsylvania.

The tallied first and needed the Aggies to come from behind to garner their two touchdowns and the extra point, which was given the Greensboro team, when a Shaw player was declared offside. Both Opened Up In the first two quarters, both A. and T. and Shaw wagged a cautious fight. The first half was a feeling out process, but in the following two stanzas, both aggregations opened up their tag of tricks and kept the fans of fans throughout. It was in this half, that Shaw drew first blood, when Armstrong started the barrage, getting 37 WILLIAMS ELECTED TO LEAD HAMPTON WILLIAMS ELECTED TO LEAD HAMPTON Eleven Players Receive "H" Bu LAMES R. CLARK Hampton Institute, Va.—William D. Williams, halfback on the Blue and White machine was chosen by his teammates, to succeed William E. Lee, as Captain. Williams hails from the far West, Tulsa, Oklahoma and started his football career in the Seaside Camp back in the season of 1922. His dogged determination and natural ability as a football player has placed him high in the hearts of football fans and his teammates. Although it is probable that Captain-elect Williams will not have more than four other vets beside himself to start next year's team, he is quite confident that the Blue and White will again put up a strong fight for the championship. Six of the regular line-up will probably not be back in uniform next year. Graduation and expiration of playing time will take James L. Thatcher, George W. Davis, Joseph Spencer Ruffin, Harry Banks, Reben A. Munday, and Theodore R. Robinson. The first eleven was awarded the Hampton "H" for its participation in the coveted number of games and gold footballs as an indication of being a member of the 1926 championship football team. The men receiving the "H" were Charles McDowan, left end, Kansas City, Mo.; William E. Lee, left tackle and Captain, Petersburg, Va.; Theodore R. Robinson, left guard, Norfolk, Va.; Reuben A.

In June, 1864, by order of the Secretary of War, Arlington was made a national cemetery. yards on a spectacular sprint. He was closely followed by Chambers, who added 27 to Thja and Hughes, who has been placed in every position on Shaw's eleven, plunged 12 yards for a touchdown. Chambers neatly executed a placement kick to annex the extra point. This score by Shaw had a tendency to pop up the A, and T, clan and a counter attack was lahned when Henderson intercepted a Shaw pass. Shaw had begun another drive that looked good for a touchdown, but the interception of this pass cut it short. A, and T's first play was a forward pass from Coleman to Lane, which was good for 30 yards. From this point, the Aggies unleashed their customary pile driving attack and after several consecutive thrusts and stabs at the Shaw line, Coleman went over. Coleman was playing in top form running passing and kicking to perfection. His defensive play was equal to his offensive efforts and he proved an important factor in everything A. and T. did. Lane came around for second honors, ripping off valuable yardage and snagging many passes thrown by Coleman. Wilson came around for stellar honor, playing an outstanding role on the offense and defense. A and T. took the ball again on a series of line bucks and forward carrying the ball within striking distance, from which point Wilson carried it over for the Aggies' second touchdown. Coleman attempted a drop kick for the extra, but the ball went wide of its mark. Hester and Miller were bulwarks of strength in the A. and T. like, while the rest of the players were up to their usual form. Hester was in everything and was always done on punts to prevent the Shaw safety from advancing the ball.

ATLANTA-MORRIS BROWN BATTLE IN A NO SCORE GAME ATLANTA-MORRIS BROWN BATTLE IN A NO SCORE GAME On Thanksgiving Day, The Crimson Hurricane racing with all its fury met the Morris Brown Whirlwind in a mighty clash at Spillers Field before eight thousand wild and enthusiastic fans and after sixty minutes of fierce fighting neither had gained an advantage, so the great conflict ended in a 0-0 tie. Both mentors rushed in fresh recruits but neither would give way. Bright Lights The Southern classic left the names of several embalazoned upon the pages of history. Fathers will tell their sons how Ray, Stanley, Shepard, smashed into the Whirlwind line only to be brought down by Smith or Clarke. Shepard also made great efforts to run back pants but could never make any long gains. McPherson kicked beautifully but this great running back was watched too closely and was smothered.

Shaw's former baseball giving game was with St. Augustine school, and the rivalry was always arzor edge. Since the Aggies advent into the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Shaw has made her game with an association team Thanksgiving. It is not definitely known whether the athletic relation between Shaw and St. Augustine is completely severed or not. One thing certain, these two schools have not played in two or three years. The graduation of, practically all of Shaws varsity players last year badly crippled the team and the Bears went through the season without a association win and up to A. and T. game, had not scored on a C. I. A. A. eleven, but in this game Shaw's stand is very commendable. Every player put up a game that surprised everyone on hand. TUSKEGEE TAKES FINAL HOME GAME TUKEGEE SO. UNIVERSITY Townes... L. E.

The Tuskegee Tigers made their final bow to the home fans for this season in the Athletic Bowl Bright Lights Thanksgiving Day by defeating the Southern University (Louisiana), team 23 to 0 in a game played throughout the first quarter by the second team. In spite of Tuskegee's four first downs and score against the blank sheet for the visitors, the university boys made a splendid showing in the first period. Their well aimed tackles and consistent line plays were well excented. Early in this quarter Southern replaced Anderson and J. Harrison at right end; and his brilliant playing outstanding throughout the game. Tuskegee scored its first touchdown after an exchange of punts, on which they gained about thirty-five yards of series of line plunges by Steward who carried the pigskin over the last mark. The outstanding players for Southern University were: Washington, center; A. Harrison, guard; and I. Harrison, end. The work of Steward, Smith, Stevenson, Shanklin, Kitchen and Tadlock for Tuskegee was out- warded. The line-up: C. I. A. A. MEETS AT GREENSBORO The C. I. A.

There will also be interesting reports and addresses by various representatives. President T. L. Purley will preside at the meeting and will also give a review of athletics in Negro colleges for 1926. Alabama Scores Double Victory Montgomery, Ala.—Two Hornets eleven representing the Alabama State Normal School went into action on Friday afternoon and two victories resulted for the local institution. The Varsity Hornets engaged the vaunted Morehouse College aggregation of Atlanta at Paterson Field and emerged with a 13-7 victory in one more brilliant and rough game. The "Baby Hornets" under the guidance of Coach Lewis journeyed to Greenville, Alabama and smothered the Lonax Hannon eleven to the tune of 19-0. It was one big day for State Normal football. Four new railway lines will soon be built in India. "ONE MINUTE TO PLAY" FEATURES ATTUCKS BILL Starring the peer of all gridiron heroes, Greater F. B. O.'s great classic of the football field, "One Minute to Play" is coming to the Attacks theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. The work of Red Grange whose name is a by-word with every lover of the pigskin, is shown to splendid effect in this sparkling drama of college life, and plenty of appalling romance and a powerful and brilliant chimpanzee, well-fulfilled as copious humor, make it a picture of great entertainment value for everyone. Sam Wood, the noted director, has handled the production with extraordinary skill, and a superb cast, including Mary McLister as the leading lady, Charles Ogle as the father, Ben Hendricks jr., as the rival, George Wilson, the famous University of Washington football star, as the leader of the opposing team, and Lincoln Steadman, Edythe Chapman, Leslie McKenzie, and a unrivalable support. Byron Morgan, the author of the well-known Wallace Reid racing pictures, wrote the story and continuity. Thursday and Friday's attraction will be a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer special, "Waltz Dream," a picture full of sparkle and action from scene to scene. Saturday's feature bill will be a ripping and funny book Buster Custer's head Ling" one of his latest cinema production. This picture will be shown one day only, Saturday, matinee and night. In order that Attucks patrons will have an opportunity to get good seats, for the Red Grange picture, the theatre will open at 4 p.m. at which time the performance will begin. Don't forget to see "One Minute Tilt" at this popular play, after having seen the famous "Red Head" perform at League Park Saturday against Lake Vesprille's fighting Norfolk Blues. St. Athanasius Wins Final Game 18-0 Thyne Romp On Peabody Hi 19-0 Chase City, Va.—The "Thyne Institute Wolf Felt" romped over Peabody Hi in their Turkey Day filt to the tune of 19-0.

C. eleven trounced Kentucky State 31-0. Knoxville's goal was never threatened while the powerful K. C. backs ran through Kentucky at will. Coach Moore used every man in togs against Kentucky, the first string men playing only half the time, saving them for Chick next Saturday. In the second half K. C. scored 13 points in the third quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the entire seceded team ended and stood to a standstill. There was no further scoring, the game ending K. C. 31, Kentucky 0. For the invaders Coleman, Moore, Page, and Douthitt were the shining lights, while Fowkles, Ridgway, Cowan, Pegues, Gaither, and Cromwell did the best work for Knoxville.

BERNARD YOUNG, JEAN Neil Park, Columbus, Ohio—For eight long years Victory has been the ghost, chimerical and mocking, that has eluded Wilberforce University's every effort to seize its deceptive form as it hovered near the gridron upon which the traditional Mid-Western Classic with West Virginia Institute took place. But now the Bulldog, triumphantly bedecked in the Green and Gold of his grateful Alma Mater, contentedly in his college hair. So long through the murky haze of the field on which tormental lions been a gloomy tone for three and a half periods of play, Wilberforce pummed upon the specter of Triumph and this time found the phantom to be the reality of conquest, and so turned back each effort of the Yellow jackets of the mountains of West Virginia to find itself in possession of a 3 to 2 victory. Wilberforce's margin of triumph came suddenly, just before the heavens opened their doozie, and it was as dramatic as it was sudden, because for the first six minutes of the struggle West Virginia held the whip hand, but only for those few brief moments. Soon the Ohio phalanx had the owl; a few thrusts at the line and then Wilberforce executed its only forward pass of the game so precisely and beautifully that on the next play it was up under what, on a clear day, would have been the shadow of the West Virginia (Continued on Page Seven) SDAY—WEDNESDAY For Three Days ation's Idol Grange Hampton Clinches C.I.A.A.

TRIMS STRATFORD 7 TO 6 Bridgeport, Conn.—Before an evenly divided crowd the "A's" of New York defeated the All St. Louis team of bridgeport Sunday in a contest marked with thrills by the close score of 7-8. The teams played cleanly in the most spirited game seen in Newfield Park, and the large delegation of colored rookies cheered the victors loud and long. For the Collegians, Fuller at fullback was the most consistent ground gainer, his line plunging being the feature of the game. In the third quarter, the Collegians tallied strongly and swept down the field from the five yard line and by a series of line plunges and runs in which Fuller and Tuppance starred, they brought the ball closer to the goal. Jackson then completed a forward pass to J. Giles, who shook the entire stratford team, running thirty yards to score the first touchdown. Jackson then added the extra point. For the Stratford team. E. Ross broke through the "A's" line for a touchdown in the final quarter, but when he attempted to kick the goal, Jackson broke through and blocked the kick, making the score 7-6. Wiley subbing for Fuller made a fine impression in his debut with the Collegians. At the close of the game, the wild crowd seized Fuller and raised him to their shoulders and marched around the field in a wild demonstration. The line-up: NEW YORK 7 J. Giles L. L Tath L. Tath L.

Kittrell And Brick Enfield, N. C.-In their annual Thanksgiving game, Kittrell and Bricks Junior College battled seriously to a 14 to 14 deadlock. Bricks, the heavier eleven, entered the game favored to win over the Kittrell lads, but the latter outplayed Bricks at every turn, making a total of 14 first downs to 9. The Methodist team outmaneuvered Bricks but could not foster enough punch to unlock the tie score. A Tennessee man has constructed a top for a library table with 5,022 pieces of wood inlaid in it.

PAWING PANTHERS HAVE PAWS EXTRACTED; LEE MAKES DECIDING TALLY SIDELIGHTS ON THE SIDELINES BY J. M. HARRISON Simpson may not have been a galloping ghost, but everybody said he was a runnig devil. W. Abbie Hawkins looked every inch the Old Roman. PETER H. Tom Smith came after the game, but was officially represented by Jim Stith. Yes, we saw the Howard Bison gone the juice out of the orange of Lincoln and incidently had'd and raid'd until our voice became a wee whisper. It is estimated that there were 15099 people jammed in the stadium including Perry Howard and his silk hat. Tried to see General Link Andrews concerning an appointment as an official smeller, to assemble whether the boys were using medicinal or downright, "down corn." Ramone was officially represented by Tiffany Toliver. To have seen some of the outfits worn by the girls and the cars spotted by their escorts, one would be very convinced that Lincoln really set 'em free. G. E. R. J. Finley Wilson and and Mrs. Wilson were prominent figures at the barbecue. Turkey hash and soup was popular the day after. Old Dr. "Bob" Ford looked prosperous as if he had been a close relation of Henry. Stately Dec Geo. Bayton of Philadelphia was as handsome and tall as ever. Old "Duckey" Holmes must have received his soubriquet by ducking the gang. It seemed sort of unnatural not to have seen dear old "Jack" Collins there. That last aerial attack seemed to take the wind out of Lincoln. Those who did not indulge in other refreshments took crushed orange. Dr. Mills and "Forty" Wilson viewed the game with sad eyes. The irrepressible Scurlock as usual was on the job and requested the fellows to look intelligent, but in many cases it was impossible. The new lodge of City Slickers here celebrated the occasion liquidly speaking. Perhaps there was method in Coolidge attending the Methodist Church on Turkey Day. PLAYER RUNS TOWARD OWN GOAL--BUT ? Seems kind of strange to see a football player grab the pigskin and start a Paavo Nurmi towards his own goal, when everybody is expecting him to make a dash for the opponents last white chalk line. Of course, this has happened many times, to the dismay of the supporting faction and the glee of the opposing. Well, don't let your heart miss a jump if this happens out at League Park next Saturday, when Red Grange and his New York Yankees meet Jake Veprille and his Norfolk Blues begin to settle a quibble, concerning the merits of those respective leaders. There's no question to Grange, the Wheaton Express, having established himself in the hearts of the American football public. His name has been emblazoned far and wide and he is heralded as one of the greatest pigkin jugglers in America, a country where civilized and sensible football is played. On the other hand, Jake Vespirle, who does not enjoy her popularity and recognition of a Grange, Hoston, Eckersall, Hubert, Tayon, Wilson and many other of football's immortals, but that heavy totes a mean ball, and you may lay to that. Jake is well thought of in Norfolk and many believe he is equal to many of the stars who have furnished innumerable inches NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE I. A. A.

Pinderhunt, Umpire, Howard) Bellingsman, Baltimore, Washington, Howard, By JANES B. CLARKE BY JAMES W. GLOVER Hampton Institute, Va.—The Big Blue and White Machine of Hampton Institute marched victoriously over the Union University Pawlin Panthers before a throng of 1000 in Armstrong Field for a score of 12-0, which makes them champions of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletics Association, possessors of the Frank Young Trophy and possessors of the Slaughter Trophy. The game was full of thrills and excitement from start to finish. The bottle was savage and clean, fought with unremitting fierceness, minus any show of rancor. Both teams showed magnificent spirit and the ablest form of coaching, as they swayed back and forth between the two 20 yard lines. The teams were so evenly balanced and the defensive strength of them so pronounced that yardage could be bought only at a heavy price and extreme effort. Hampton, however, had a littleridge on the Red and Steel Eleven by virtue of the fact that the back-field jabbed Union for request: first downs numbering 12 to 3. The game was played by Hampton without a single substitution while Union made 12 changes. The Red and Steel backfield was swift and lightning, but Hampton's forward wall seemed to swift through an break up plays at will. There were two dangerous fumbles made by Byrd of Hampton in receiving, Breeaux's pants that put Hampton in a dangerous position. Each time Breeaux failed to kick for a field goal. Hampton Scores in the Second Quarter The first score or the battle camp in the second quarter when Hampton was held for downs on the 2 yard line and Union was forced to kick after receiving the ball. Breux was to kick the bail out from behind the goal posts, but in kicking he stepped outside of the end zone, thus counting a safety for Hampton. Union kicked off to Hampton after that and then, Hampton returned the punt. Union got possession of the ball and was forced to kick. They kicked short enough to allow Baker to drop kick from the 40 yard line. Thatheater, playing his last game of football for the Blue and White, covered himself with glory as he hit the line for first downs. The Unionites covered Bulldog Williams up so that he could not get loose, but Thatheater could make gains almost at will. Baker's kicking was uncanny at all times throughout the fray. "Wild Man" Lee Scores Touchedown Leaving his plaque on the line and moving into the backfield, Wild Man Lee drove through the line from fullback's position for a clean cut 10 yards and a touchdown in the third quarter. It was especially worth seeing, as his huge, bulky foot stood through the line of scrimmage. A great gall and bowl came from the Seaside grandstand and then it died down enough to allow Baker to toe the extra point through the bars. The Union Pawning Panthers, however, were not without stars, for Breaux and Shields in the backfield were constant menaces. Breaux's putting was good, and Shields was always a good ground gainer. Captain Tobin and Ruffin on the line were bulwarks of strength. of copy and glaring head in eyes. Vesprille, does not only carry that oval himself, but he has an array of supporters that wield a wicked hoof, stiff arm and what have you. This scheduled game on the local lot, marks the first appearance of Grange in this neck of the words and local football followers will have an opportunity of seeing one of the gridiron's most outstanding performers. Paine Steam Rolls Harbinson 53-0 Augusta, Ga.—The Harbison eleven was no match for the first, second and third teams of the Paine Purple Tide in a Turkey Day battle on Paine Field. The game ended 33 to 0. The visitors offered their stiffest opposition to the Paine varsity who played the first half, holding them to two touchdowns. The second team opened up the second half in a rour and together with third string men crossed the goal line six times before the game ended.

The play was wholly in St. Paul's territory for the rest of the game and the last Petersburg touchdown came in a St. Paul punt from the Petersburg 80 yard line to the St. Paul 15 yard line. On several line plays the Petersburg backs carried the ball to the St. Paul two yard line but were held for downs. St. Paul on a nice punt carried the ball to mid field but the respite was only momentarily for on the very first-play Epss shot a pass from the 50-yard line to Payne who caught it on the St. Paul 14 yard line where he was downed. Another pass from Epss to Royal netted 10 yards and after two tries Epss carried the ball over for a touchdown, Captain Pierce and Boykin.

A.M.E.ZION CONFERENCE CLOSES Bishop Pronounces Session Best In His Career The sixty-first annual session of the Virginia Annual Conference a. D. A. M. E. Zion Church came a close Sunday night following the arrival of the appointments by Billy J. S. Caldwell after a most interesting five-day session. The conference opened. Wednesdy mornings in Garrett's Temple with more than 250 pastors and conference workers present besides a three number of visitors. Sessions Interesting Every session of the conference proved unusually interesting and at the close Bishop Caldwell pronounced one of the best he has ever prepared over during his several years in the bishopric. The outstanding features were the excellent reports made by the pastor and the strong and profound prescheduled by the ministers appearing on the program. These comments with the evangelical songs led by Rev. Mr. Stringfield, provided spiritual fervor and served to maintain a religious rather than religious atmosphere in the conference. The reports showed that activity of the church in Virginia, including home and foreign missions, education, church extension conversions and general fitures, showed improvement over the previous year. So great was the attendance each night that dining room remained at arium. the conference was the first ever held in this city by Bishop Caldwell, who recently became the presiding bishop over this district to preside Bishop Blackwell, deceased, with a touching speech, and with a marked sincerity, Bishop Caldwell spoke the people of Norfolk, the containing church and its pastor, to the conference for the splendid hospitality shown the visitors to the spirit and harmony evidenced in the sessions. And it was also evident that the bishop, himself made a fine impression on the numbers of the conference and visitors. His impartial yet precise markers marked him as a man of power, yet most of all truly sincere in the work of Zion Methodism. Few Changes In Tidewater Tidewater was but slightly affected by the assignment of pastors, practically all of the local ministers being returned to their charges for another year. When he announces were read resigning Rev. Dr. R. K. D. Garner and Rev. Dr. M. D. Smith to the temple and Metropolitan church respectively a grant went to their pastors, those pastors their memberships and local friends and admirers. Rev. M. D. King, former pastor and Metropolitan church here, but attaining St. Thomas Church in campesetta during this conference year, was at his own request, transferred to the Tennessee Conference, while Rev. W. I. Rowan, pastor of Wesley Union, of Norfolk, his own request was not assigned a charge, it being his desire to enjoy to regain his health before again resuming a pastorate. The appointments were as follows: Richmond District G. L. Alexander, D. D. Presiding Elder Brad Temple, Richmond, Rev. W. Gaines. M. Zion, Kenbridge, Rev. M. H. Bush. Mayer's Chapel, Victoria, Rev. W. Smith. Solomon Temple, St. Paul, Rev. M. Studium. South Emporia and Jarrrett, Rev. Larries E. Jackson. Blackstone, Varick and White Rev. A. C. Coward. Zion, Chesterfield County, Rev. H. Sykes.

Jeffries, pastor of Mt. Nebo Baptist church, has accepted a call which was tendered him by the Mt. Olivev Baptist church of Newport, R. I. On entering upon his new field Rev. Jeffries will find a membership of between five and six hundred, a beautiful church with a handsome parsonage adjoining it. He has pastored at Mt. Nebo for nearly five years and each succeeding year has been crowned with abundant success, and his members and many friends here of both races regret at having to part with him. Upon entering his present field of labor, Rev. Jeffries found conditions very discouraging, due to heavy indebtedness, etc., but he did not consider the condition a problem, but rather an opportunity to demonstrate the power of organization. Through the realization of his many plans and the cooperation of his people, he has raised approximately $18,000, and 250 persons have been added to the church; a commodious parsonage nearly furnished and free from debt, a place of ground purchased adjoining the church; the interior of the church newly painted and renovated; a partially new heating plant installed; and no case of distress or need has escaped unnoticed. Rev. Jeffries leaves his field in splendid condition, spiritually and financially, and every auxiliary of the church in good working order. St. John, Sunbury, Rev. L. D. Conrad. Allen Temple, Rev. A.

Anniversary Services Of Logan Park Church Closes The 16th anniversary observance of Logan Park Baptist Church and the 12th of the pastor, Rev. J. E. Williams, came to a close Sunday last after three weeks of most teresting and interesting activities. Very excruciating attendance was in throughout the services which were participated in by a number of pastors with the choirs and congregations of the vicinity. At the close of the observance, Rev.

France, who passed away at his residence, corner of Effingham and Glasgow streets, Portsmouth, Tuesday morning of last week were inferred benefit a huge mound of the most fragrant flowers in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Friday afternoon following an impressive and touching funeral ceremony in Zion Baptist Church witnessed by a vast concourse of people, only a fraction of which was able to find room inside of the church. Largest Seen In The City The funeral of the distinguished physician, citizen and churchman was the largest viewed in Portsmouth by the present generation. Men, women and children in every walk of life lined the sidewalks peered through windows and perched upon roofs to witness the passing to its final resting place the remains of one whose skill and genius had been of incalculable benefit to mankind and one whose civic spirit and generosity had aided materially in the progress of his community and the unlift of his race. From far and near other distinguished men came to pay their last tribute of respect to one whose fame had proved an inspiration to countless numbers. As the funeral cortege arrived at the church door the members of the Tidewater Nurses' Association lined on the outside while the procession passed through. The representatives of the Tidewater Medical Association, the National Medical Association, the Old Dominion Medical Association, of which Dr. France was a member were in mourning, while in sympathetic bereavement with them were representatives of the Richmond Medical Association. Pastor Officiated Rev, E. E. Smith, pastor of Zion, and Rev, J. M. Armistead, pastor emeritus, officiated, assisted by several other ministers of Tidewater, "the gift of God is eternal life," said Rev, Mr. Smith, beginning the eulogy. His sermon was brief, touching and most fitting. Dr. Armistead in whose home Dr. France first lived when he came to Portsmouth spoke feelingly of the life of the deceased. During the services Miss Edna Deans sang the solo, "Whispering Hope;" Dr. W. B. Anderson sang, "Rock of Ager." Other ministers participating were Rev, Mr. Spratley, of Suffolk; Dr. Rev, O. C. Jones, and Rev, Dr. M. N. Newsome, Rev, Dr. B. D. Dance, Dr. Hoard, Rev, Dr. J. T. Johnson, of Suffolk and Rev, Dr. Block. Mrs. Johnishe Churchill sang, "I'm A Pilgrim, I'm A Stranger."

Among the out-of-town personages attending the funeral was W. H. Lewis, ominent lawyer of Boston, and brother of the widow of the deceased.

Later he founded First Calvary Baptist Church with four members. He had a part in the organizing of Mt. Herman Baptist Church, Temple, Shiloh Baptist Church, Bethlehem Baptist Church.

ORATO EMANCIP A very interesting session was held and though the order of the day had to be somewhat altered on account of the failure of the principal speaker to put in an appearance, the substituted program entertained every one present. After the reports of several of the pastors who outlived the work on their respective fields, the Rev. Dr. K. R. Spiller, formerly of this city, and a dean of the Baptist ministry, was invited to address the gathering. Dr. Spiller, professor of the experience and in particular experience and theological scholarship, delivered a lecture that held auditors in rapt attention. His talk was taken as a particularly timely bit of advice to young preachers. At the conclusion of the program the pastor and ladies of the Logan Park church served all present a sumptuous dinner, consisting of practically every mentionable product of field, pasture and barnyard.

By special arrangement with the artist the price of admission has been put at fifteen cents. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Berkley Avenue Samson's single hand and victorious contest with a young lion (Judges 14:17) furnished the basis for another powerful sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. J. C. Diamond, Sunday morning, courage in the face of danger on the upward way and a victorious and spiritful life. Life is the main points stressed. The audience was stirred to the depths by the earnest and vivid discourse and when Mr. Buke, a visitor, singing the Shepherd Psalm came to the phrasa "We will walk through the valley in peace," the scene was indescribable in the outburst of spiritual fervor and enthusiasm. At night the pastor preached or "The lion was the master and appreciative audience. There were three additions to the church during the day. The Thanksgiving Day services were one to be long remembered by all who were privileged to have a part in them.

At 11 a. m., the Sunday school Thanksgiving excercises were held, and the baskets which each of the eleven classes had filled for the aged members were placed on the rostrum. At 12 began the usual Missionary prayer and praise service. With song and prayer and testimony all who could find opportunity gave abundant witness to gratitude of their hearts to God for His many blessings. At the close of the service the 15 aged members present were each presented a basket or a small donation, after which with the assistance of friends they led the march back into the Sunday school room where a 21-pound turkey, Smithfield ham, ice cream and other good things awaited them. It was nearly night when the automobiles were once again called and they were sent back to their homes happy and blessed. 59 dinners were sent out to invalids and the present made over 100 dinners served during the afternoon.

Bowling, announces that he will have the women of the congregation all seated in the center aisle, sending the men to the side aisles and the galleries.

At the morning service the pastor will preach the first of a series of sermons preparatory to Christmas. At this service and each one succeeding Sunday morning until Christmas a new Christmas hymn will be sung. On Christmas day all these hymns will be sung and a number of well-known Advent anthems.

No interested church worker should miss hearing these men at first hand. GRACE P. E. CHURCH After a short illness of about ten days, Rev. Harris was back in his pulpit last Sunday at both services. A very good congregation was present at the morning service to hear Rev. Harris preach on "The Master's Cause," the text being Matt. 4:23. According to the speaker the Mastor's Cause was the Kingdom of God, or the rule of God in men's lives. "This is the thing for which He came, for which He lived, suffered and for which He died," he said. All great historical characters have had a Cause for which they stood and the causes for which Hannah, the great, Emmanuel, Lincoln, Luther Livingston and B. T. Washington were mentioned with great effect. In this connection a beautiful story of how William Lipdavid and Wendell Phillips gave themselves to the cause of Negro freedom, was told. Jesus was pictured as a Crusader, a Campaigner for His Cause rather than as "Jesus need and gentle" of the old hymn. "Not that the latter picture is not true, he said, "but that the former, is equally, as true." Very pointedly in his conclusion Rev. Harris asked "what is the Cause for which you stand?" At the six o'clock service, Rev. Hairis preached on the subject "Is the Church Compromising?" is the special case of the to the thought "Is the Church Asking Enough?" He said 'the Church was not asking enough in the matter of marriage, in the matter of love and in the matter of sacrifice. Next Sunday morning after service, the Budget for 1927 will be placed before the congregation and pledges will be obtained for the next year. It is expected that most of the members will be present. Next Monday night the annual meeting of the congregation will be held in the church at 8 p.m. for the purpose of electing the 1927 vestry. Mt. ZION A. M. E. CHURCH Services at Mt. ZION A. M. E.

He then briefly outlined his object for calling upon the various deputies to be present. His aim being to form a Deputies Council for the purpose of cementing the various workers throughout the jurisdiction and to promote a greater cooperation, the work of the Supreme Lodge.

A. building west of Chicago, recently completed at a cost of $200.000.00 and the only building of its size and value for the exclusive use of the Race on the Pacific Coast was opened to the public Sunday, November 14th. Designed by Negro Architect Designed by a Negro architect Paul R. Williams, the only Negro member of the American Institute of Architects and winner of the Beaux Art medal in 1912, the new "Y" is a four story building of California-Spanish architecture design; its exterior face on the first story and surface concrete on the upper stories. In the interior, on the first floor, are two lobbies, one for men and one for boys separated by the executive offices in the center. A tile wainscoting runs around the lower portion of the walls and the ceiling is with color and design in contrast to rather severely simple walls. The Spanish motif is also carried out in the decorations. A $600 rug adorns the men's lobby. There is a standard gymnasium that may be converted into an auditorium for large groups. The swimming pool is an interesting feature being entirely in tile surrounded by a tile runway. The billiard room contains two tables. Club rooms, small lecture rooms, a dining room and kitchen on the second floor. The third and fourth floors are given over to 52 dormitory rooms with single and twin beds in contrast to the double deck berths of the Eastern colored "Y" buildings. Basketball, hand ball and tennis courts are on the roof and in the rear of the building. Two Colored Contractors The building which is located at the corner of 28th and Paloma streets on a 100 ft. boulevard, one block from the Central Ave. car lines and business district, was erected entirely by non-union labor.

PART TWO Virginia News Features NEW STEEL CARS ON THE N.&W. ROAD First Lot Of 42 Has Been Received From The Builders --- [Boanoke, Va., Nov. 30]—The first of 43 new all-steel passenger cars now being built for the Norfolk and Western Railway by the Bellehem Shipbuilding Corporation at its Harlan Plant, Wilmington, Del. have been delivered and placed in service, according to an article in the current issue of the Norfolk and Western Magazin which will reach the hands of the railway company's employees this week. The orders for these cars were placed several months ago and included four different types of passenger equipment: 18 passenger coaches to be numbered from 700 to 717 inclusive; 6 combined passenger and baggage cars—Nos. 600 to 605 inclusive; 15 bagage and express cars—Nos. 110 to 121 inclusive, and 4 combined baggage and mail cars—Nos. 10 to 12 inclusive. It is expected that all of the 43 cars will be placed in service by the middle of January, 1977. Describing the new cars, S. P. Seifert, Superintendent of the Car Department, Roanoke, and author of the article in the Magazine, adds: "The trucks are of the latest improved design, the frame and pedal being of one steel casting, and having 36-inch diameter forged wheels with 5 1-2x10 inch panels. The brakes are of the deep type which provide braking power to both sides of the wheels. "The floors are of composite material and are thoroughly fireproof. "The seats in the coaches are of our standard double passenger type and are constructed so as to afford the utmost comfort. Those in the main compartments are upstairs in green frieze plush, while those in the smoking compartments have pantasote cover." The heating, lighting and ventilation of these cars represents the latest in railroad passenger car construction. The cars are fitted with the vapor system which is so arranged that a uniform temperature can be maintained in all parts of the car under all weather conditions. The electric lights are of a design affording ample and uniform light throughout the car. The ventilation system is of special design, consisting of individual screen ventilators in each window sash, these ventilators are so arranged that they may be operated by the passengers to afford such ventilators as each individual may desire without affecting other passengers, rather those directly ahead or directly back of the ventilator that making opened. The cars are also equipped with five ceiling fans so constructed as to circulate the air without a draft. The interior is finished in a light shade of Cuban cobgany, except the ceiling which is ivory with each panel decoded with a sage green line." an Killed Doing A Kind Deed For Aged Lady (By Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 3—After shiping as he was carrying an engineering board in Clark street for a neighbor, Mrs. Grace Hester, whom she was helping to move, George ageed 40 suffered a fractured arm, when his head struck the cement, Wednesday night.

The attorney mentioned in this connection is Edgar A. Brown, who bore the endorsement and had the support of Senator Cole Blease last summer, being defeated in his contest for the seat of junior senator for South Carolina. Mr. Brown's contribution to the situation is a letter denouncing the "nigger lovers" who are meddling with the Alken situation. In his letter he says: "I reckon the New York World would like to see a Negro Governor of South Carolina, and a mulatto presiding over the Governor's mansion, but, thank God, the people of South Carolina are still white, with red blood in their veins, chivalry and manhood in their hearts, and expect to keep our country clean and pure notwithstanding the ravings and rattings of a Negro-loving Northern press, when an occasional black brute is summarily dealt with. "All this investigation and bullabaloa about who did the lynching and the whys and wherefores is pure, unadulterated bunk. The New York World, the Governor, the so-called law and order citizens and many others, know, or could easily know, at least some of those who participated in the killing of the Lowmans, and know, as well as the balance of the world knows, that nobody is going to be punished, and nobody wants anybody punished." According to latest reports to the World, South Carolina's Governor has told newspaper correspondents that he has corroboration as to the identity of the lynchers, coming from persons other than the six prisoners in the Aiken jail at the time of the lynching who identified the officers who came and took Bertha Lowman from her cell. Solicitor Bert Carter, according to the World is now ready to press the case against the lynchers. Lynching as an issue is more and more taking space in the Southern press as the World continues its series. Before the N.A. A. C. P. investigation by Walter White and the resulting series of articles by Oliver H. P. Carrett in the World, the South Carolina newspapers had dropped the subject of the Aiken Lynching and there was all but complete silence on the subject. At present the Aiken Lynching is featured not only in the North but throughout the South as well. The World today published dispatches from Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Oklahoma, detailing the steps taken against Lynching and Lynchers in those States. dead and injured at twelve, and caused wide spread excitement through the mining section.

(For The Associated Negro Press) Be careful what you sign, no matter who urges you to sign it. The "It" may be a perfectly innocent looking little piece of paper, which may subsequently turn out to be your complete undoing. The important part of a thing that is signed is not that part which is read, but it is generally that part, which because it is in small type on the next page, or or some other reason, is not read. That is really why it is in small type, or why it occupies the position that it does—it is earnestly hoped by somebody that you will not read it. And too often we do what it is hoped we will do. The safe plip is to read over every document carefully before you sign it, and if there is the slightest doubt in your mind as to what it means then don't sign it until that doubt is cleaned up. And generally the way to clear up the doubt is not by asking the man who wants you to sign, but by asking somebody else. Of course, that somebody else ought to be such a person as would know what is meant or intended. For years and years Negroes have been robbed, in the South, of their possessions, because of the prevalence of the use of "the mark" among illiterates and even among some literate. Unseruppulous and designing white men have entered into seemingly innocent transactions with a Negro who had acquired property or who was getting ahead, and after making payment of the small sum involved, asked for a receipt. Very often the "receipt" later turned up bearing the Negro's signatures or "this mark," as a promissory note for a large amount. And in a Southern court, no defense could possibly evail against the white man's word. But the usual plan is to await the death of the Negro and to present notes and accounts against his estate. I personally knew one case in Georgia of a colored man who during his lifetime was known as the wealthiest man in his section. He owned ten square miles of land, operated a big farm, a store and a grinery, and raised hundreds of bales of cotton each year. He also paid cash for everything he bought. But when he hired every person in the county, with whom he had ever dealt, presented claim after claim against his estate which the courts of the count sustained, and his entire estate was swept away. But the danger to the average man is not along this line; it is in making of chattel mortgages, the endorsing of promissory notes for friends, and the hurried signing of a receipt laid down before you. Everyone of these things is dangerous, and if you would accumulate an estate, or save for a rainy day, be sure you know what you sign. The way to know is to read it over carefully before you sign. A few months ago the City Court of Brooklyn, N. Y., was deluged with suits filed against various beauty parlorers throughout the city by a concern which manufactured some form of electric attachment. Most of the defendants were women who denied that they had ever ordered such an attachment from the concern suing them. The women claimed that the article was left with them on trial to see whether they liked it or not. But the concern presented a homo fide order signed by each defendant agreeing to pay so much down and so much per month. The beauty culturists were astounded. They each one thought they were merely signing a "receipt" for the article left on trial. Had they read before they signed, they would have saved money. But each one had to pay the bill together with the cost of court. Out in Kansas, one of the wealthiest men in the state, a colored man, had his entire property taken away from him fraudulently, because he did not realize what he had signed. A salesman called on him and sold him some goods. He signed an "order," which later turned up as a mortgage on his farm bearing his genuine sigma- NEW VIEWING!!! NEW VIEWING!!!

The swindler had transferred the mortgage to a third party and there was no defense of the owner as to the innocent holder. The farmer could not pay the mortgage, and foreclosure proceedings were commenced. The case was fought at stubbornly in the courts to the count of last resort and the colored man lost. His entire holdings were swept away from him. The swindler was subsequently caught and lodged in jail. Later Governor Davis was impaired, accused of selling pardons.

LAD SAVED BY ELKS FINALLY PAYS PENALTY Emanuel Ross, 18 Year Old Cleveland Murderer Pays Penalty In Chair (By Preston News Service) Columbus, O., Dec. 3—Emanuel Ross, 18 year old Cleveland murdered, died at 1:07 PDT yin the electric chair at Ohio penitentiary for killing Isadore Stock, Cleveland confectioner. Ross entered the death-room at 10:06 a.m. and unrestrained. He was placed in the chair at 10:06 a.m. m. looked around the room and, seeing the warden, said, "Hello warden." The mask was placed over his face and he died a minute later. Ross spent Thanksgiving day sitting quietly in his cell. He was not nervous and seemed resigned to his fate.

For his last meal Reed and turkey, with dressing, cranberry sauce, and an "trimmings." He ate heartily and did not appear to realize that it was his last meal. Ross attorneys have waged an unrelenting fight to save the boy from the doctor's care for his execution. He was received at the penitentiary January 27, he electrocuted April 28. Since at time he has been granted five two from the governor, two from the state supreme court and one from Cayman Islands county courts. A week ago the state upstairs on court refused a second time to review the case. That left only two ways open when he could have acted. The china of the sixth time Governor Donald could have saved him by another reprieve, or the court of appeals could have acted. Ross' attorneys had sought a reversal of the verdict on the grounds that Ross' case first should have been taken before the juvenile court, in much as he was said to have been only 17 years old when the crime was committed. Ross was convicted of murder in the Cayman Islands common pleas court. Declaring Ross had been recorded "every legal right," James W. Huffman, executive secretary to Governor n. Monkey, Thursday to deliver a speech for a reprieve made by Alexander H. Martin, attorney for Ross. "The Emmanuel Ross case has been fully considered by the common pleas court of Cuyahoga county, the appellate court and the supreme court, which is the court of last resort in Ohio. Ross has been given every legal right. In the absence of mitigating circumstances or a recommendation from the trial judge, prosecutor or jury which tried him, the court will not interfere with the degree of a co-ordinate branch of government." A stay of execution was once obtained for Ross by grand officers of the Elk lodge which was in annual convention in Cleveland in August. WASHINGTON, N. C. Washington, N.

She carried a bouquet of chrysanthemums. Miss Rosa Eva Miller was maid of honor. She wore a dress of pea green georgette and carried a beautiful bunch of white chrysanthemums. The second bride's maid was Miss Mabel Blount, of Gilmerton, who was attired in a dress of pink satin trimmed with blue and pink satin flowers. Mr. Walter Griffin was best man and Mr. Raymond Richard, of Deep Creek, and Mr. Arthur Riddick were groomsmen. The ring bearer was Master Russell Mitchell, who wore a full dress suit and cirried the ring in the heart of a lily. Little Erlaine Holland, niece of the bride, and little Helen Gwathney, were flower girls. They wore beautiful little yellow and blue dresses. An elaborate reception at Holland Park followed the ceremony. Quite a few white friends were present. The bride and groom will reside in the home of the groom's parents. GILMERTON Rev. A. S. Lomax, pastor of the First Baptist Church, conducted the services at his charge here Sunday. A week of revival services were held at Holy Trinity Church last week which proved a success. Rev. Mr. Wiggins and Rev. Mr. Parker, of Ivor, Va., preached very able sermons during the meeting. Miss Mabel Williams and Miss Lillie Mae Overton, students of V. N. and I. L., spent Thanksgiving Day and the remainder of the week with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Overton.

The Roland Hayes Glee Club, of Portsmouth, and the Philharmonic Glee Club, of Norfolk, will appear in a grand joint musical recital at Zion Baptist Church Monday evening, December 13, at 8 o'clock. These two musical groups are well known locally for their talented recitals and are generally heard by large and appreciative audiences. Doubtless they will prove a great drawing attraction in a combined recital. BOWERS HILL Services at Little Zion Church were very good on last Sunday. The Sunday school was largely attended and the lesson was beautifully reviewed by the pastor. At the regular service hour the pastor, Rev. W. A. Baker, preached a stirring sermon using for his subject: "Saints and Sinners," 1st Peter 4:18. On Thanksgiving night a program was rendered under the auspices of Mrs. Elmira Rodgers, and Mrs. Mattie Smith. All of the participants played well their parts, and there were several selections from the Bright Star Quartette of Hodges Ferry. Mr. W. A. Brown left Wednesday evening for Brooklyn, N. Y., where he will spend a few days with his brother, Mr. Woodley Brown. Mr. George Brown has returned from Philadelphia to spend some time with his family.

Man Shot To Death In Hill Street Fight (President News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 2—Said by police to have been the cause of the shooting and killing of Joseph Richardson, aged 35 years, early Wednesday evening in front of a fruit store in Logan street, near Poplar way, Mrs. Mary Green, aged 31 years, was arrested in her home in Wylie avenue a short time after the shooting. Samuel Smith, of Wellsville, Ohio, is said to have been a witness to the shooting, and was arrested at the same time and lodged in jail as a material witness. The bullets pierced the body of Richardson, who is thought by police to be a deck hand on the riverboat Senator Cordill. Police say that the man who did the shooting escaped.

You can stop them now with Cremoulison, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Cremoulison 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. Cremoulison contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heat the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creamulsion 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.)

Ministers To Aid Negro History Movement It is gratifying to learn that the ministers of Norfolk, Portsmouth and vicinity have definitely aligned themselves with the Negro History movement as led by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. The pastors have pledged themselves to lift collections of their respective congregations for the purpose of helping to raise the State's quota of the $20,000 the History Association is seeking in a campaign now in progress. The announcement from the local ministers was somewhat delayed but that was very probably because of other circumstances and not because of lack of interest on their part. Although pastors and churches are confronted with every conceivable appeal of philanthropy, some worthy and some dubious merit; it was expected that the Tidewater ministers would do in the case of the History Fund campaign just what they have set out to do. They are a lot that can always be depended on to take the lead in response to the obligation of philanthropy once they are convinced of the worthiness of the appeal. Doubless it gives moral encouragement to Dr. Woodson in his heroic and sacrificial struggle to compile Negro History to learn that the Tidewater preachers are behind him to a man, and the ministers have done themselves added credit by their unanimous pledge of support to him, particularly when it is realized that men of the clergy seldom escape the obligations of education and philanthropy.

Forty-two years is a romarkably long time in the life of Negro journalism, in fact it comes pretty close to spanning the history of our activities in the newspaper field, but it must be borne in mind that the Tribune has not had all of this time to bend its energies towards vigorous growth. For many and many a year after coming on the scene it had to give battle to the overwhelming force of circumstances that threatened to bury it along with its numerous predecessors. Born in an age when there was scant nourishment for the Negro journal the Tribune managed by dint and determination to grow up and on its 42nd anniversary stands as one of the towering oaks in the newspaper world of Colored America. It is militant when it needs to be, a counsellor at all times and a source of education in every issue. The Tribune, like the JOURNAL AND GUIDE, is one of the few race papers housed in its own plant and turned out by members of the race exclusively. Certainly this newspaper can appreciate the rugged path any one of its contemporaries has had to travel even to achieve this end. All honor to the memory of the late Chris Perry and our felicitations to this product of his genius on its 42nd anniversary.

From Howa Medical College, Meharry M McKinley University, and say M the urgent appeals for financial aid come from one upon another oat and most useful educational in the past two years reveal a disituation. From Howard Univical College, Meharry Medical College, and new Morgan College. The urgent appeals for financial aid that have come from one upon another of our oldest and most useful educational institutions in the past two years reveal a disquieting situation. From Howard University Medical College, Mehairy Medical College, Fisk University and now Morgan College the Macedonian calls have come with disturbing rapidity. It is true that throughout the history of these institutions their financial needs have been consistently depressing, none of them having ever been secure upon financial beds of ease. But time was when their needs were invariably laid before the philanthropic spirit of the white race, which could be depended upon for a generous response, and their financial status was seldom, if ever, a concern of ours. The youth for whose benefit they were established were privileged and even urged to pass through their gates with or without funds. Ours was the happy lot to reap, never to sow the wherewithal from which the reaping came. But it is evident that today we are face to face with a changed situation. Of the inspired missionaries who came South, set up our educational institutions and rendered sacrificial labor within their walls, the last remnants are about gathered to their fathers. Of the millions of inspired dollars that followed and sustained them and their work here, the remnants are fast fleeting. We have boasted of our wonderful educational progress in the past 60 years. We have asserted our capacity to assume the administrative leadership of our institutions, declaring it to be of magnanimous credit to the white race that it sustained us until we reached the place where we can administer our own. Our demands are being recognized. The administrative leadership is being relinquished into our hands. But as white control is passing out, white sustenance is diminishing in an equal degree. We are being handed the reins of administration of our schools in one hand and the responsibilities of maintenance in the other hand. The evidences come bluntly before us that the white race is carrying the burden of our education with increasing reluctance, born of the conviction that the Negroes are now in a position to carry on where they are leaving off. And we can no longer excuse ourselves upon a plea of incapacity to assume and carry this responsibility. Our faithful benefactors see our women gathered at our football classes garbed in the most luxurious and costly sables; they see us coming to these events in costly high-powered motor cars; they see us domiciled in pretentious homes, worshipping in magnificent edifices, and they read the imposing figures of our national economic status. They reason, and with a degree of logic, that it is time we do for the youth of our race what the white people have done for us since our emancipation. It is a fact that one of the most disturbing signs regarding the fitness of our group to survive and progress in competition with other race groups is our tendency to set up a superficial social caste unsupported by either economic independence or educational security. We grasp the veneer of civilization and cavort in the unessentials. Our best educational institutions plead for our aid that they might continue to exist, while we mimic the superfluities of those who at first stabilized their economic and educational welfare. Howard, Meharry, Fisk and Morgan appeal to us in the name of our youth and ourselves, and while we fiddle Rome burns. Inspired missionaries and inspired dollars of the white race for Negro education have all but left us, and if these inspired agencies have failed to inspire Negroes to reflect this inspiration in self-help, their disappointment will be great and our calamity without a historical parallel. Norfolk Journal and Guide THE GUIDE POST BY RICHARD H. BOWLING We Won't Let Them They have done so much to ease the agonies of our bereavements, these polite one so much to ease the bereavements, these polite and careful gentlemen we call undertakers. Once we mourners had to carry the coffins of our own dead. The undertakers changed the custom and secured pallbearers to relieve us. Once we stood and listened to the fall of dirt and cloak upon the coffins of our dead. The undertakers changed the custom and dropped flowers inst ead. Once the very case in which our dead was buried A. B. was a narrow body-shaped box that was all too suggestive of a cold and helpless corpse. The undertakers changed and beautified the design of the case and even changed its name. They let us bury our dead in couch caskets. Think of it! A "couch casket." "Couch", so suggestive of rest and sleep. "Casket," a receptacle for something of exquisite value. Hitherto we had only used the word in connection with jewels. Now, as a result of the thoughtfulness of the undertaker, our precious dead rest in couch caskets. But these things are not all. Our undertakers have improved their service almost to the last detail. Summon a first class mortician on the phone. He comes with appropriate colored crepe, and a wagon for the removal of the body for embalming. He returns with blanks for telegraphing distant relatives, with illustrated price lists of caskets, vavels, floral designs and shrouds. He takes all the insurance policies needing to be signed by physician, minister and local agent, and sees that each one is collected on and the proceeds above the funeral cost returned to the proper relative or beneficiary. He takes the proper relative to the family plot in the cemetery and has the grave opened. He brings the body back to the house so well embalmed and so defy arranged in the casket's downy silk trimmings as to appear simply asleep, instead of cold in appearance, at the grave side, he directs everything, watching every detail, and seeing to it that nothing happens to intensify the grief of the bereaved. They stand revealed as desirous of doing even more. They purchase artificial grass with which to cover over the clods and dirt and to hide the forbidden sides of the open grave. They would have our last view of our beloved be suggestive of spring, and beauty, and life. But we won't let them! Instead of listening to the minister's last cheering words of committal and then retiring to our cars, leaving to the undertakers the task of removing the artificial grass, interring the body, arranging the flowers, and marking the grave, we insist on standing by while all these painful details are being completed. Let us be reminded, a first class undertaker needs no watching to insure his carrying out these last details. To stand on the damp sod on a cold and wintry day is no particular honor to the dead. To have one's heart torn by the sound of falling clods dropped by a grave-digger is no solace for loss by death. Our undertakers are trying to help us, but we won't let them. was a narrow body-shaped box that was all too suggestive of a cold and helpless corpse.

He takes all the insurance policies needing to be signed by physician, minister and local agent, and sees that each one is collected on and the proceeds above the funeral cost returned to the proper relative or beneficiary. He takes the deed to the family plot in the cemetery and has the grave opened. He brings the body back to the house so well embalmed and so deftly arranged in the casket's downy silk trimmings as to appear simply asleep, instead of cold in death. Finally, at the grave side, he directs everything, watching every detail, and seeing to it that nothing happens to intensify the grief of the bereaved. They stand revealed as desirous of doing even more. They purchase artificial grass with which to cover over the clods and dirt and to hide the forbidden sides of the open grave. They would have our last view of our beloved be suggestive of spring, and beauty, and life. But we won't let them! Instead of listening to the minister's last cheering words of committal and then retiring to our cars, leaving to the undertakers the task of removing the artificial grass, interring the body, arranging the flowers, and marking the grave, we insist on standing by while all these painful details are being completed. Let us be reminded, a first class undertaker needs no watching to insure his carrying out these last details. To stand on the damp sod on a cold and wintry day is no particular honor to the dead. To have one's heart torn by the sound of falling clods dropped by a grave-digger is no solace for loss by death. Our undertakers are trying to help us, but we won't let them. Spirit of The Press The Negro's Huge Debt To America From Holland's Magazine (Dallas Tex.) Behold the American Negro—favored child of fortune! Look at his stalwart frame, the modern, well-equipped schools he attends, the Australian ballot he casts, the health services that comes to his door, the high wages he receives. And then picture, if you can, his cousins in Africa. After all, it is but a tiny step—as time is reckoned—back to the jungle. And yet sentimentalists—seeking outlet for artificial emotions—bemoan the treatment of the black man. Given freedom, independence, and left to himself in Africa, the Negro has reverted to savagery. When did the white man spill his blood by the millions for the uplift of any other subject race? The British have conquered and crushed peoples of many colors. The French and Spanish and Italians and Turks have planted their heels firmly on the necks of weaker races. Whatever mistakes our own America has made in the Philippines, in Hawaii and in Haiti—however cold has been our attitude toward Japanese immigration—however harsh has been our policy at times toward the neighboring Mexicans—our contact with the American Negro has been marked by extraordinary generosity. The white man has robbed, rotted, ruined and restricted the noble red man, while giving well-nigh curte blanche to his ward of darker skin. The black man's destiny is in his own hands. The responsibility now devolves upon his broad shoulders in its entirety. He owes a large debt to civilization. Will he measure up? "All over the world," observes Townsend Boyer, in *The Dearborn Independent*, "are men who would thank their gods for the opportunity of the American Negro."

Realism In Movies From Christian Science Monitor No longer, according to an Associated Press report, will "movie" audiences have to put up with imitations along any line, for it is said that the public's demand for realism is so insistent that actual types are supplanting professional extras in all directions. Now, we are told, the casting director, when called upon to get an Indian, a fireman, or a waiter, goes out and gets him, instead of having actors dress and make up to look the parts. As an example it appears, a call for eight cheer leaders for a football picture came during the summer. These were in due time located and used. What would happen if the play called for a man from Mars?

A Poem A Week Give to the world thy best, Of every kind; Give thou without reserve, And be mine in mind; Give thy life amoquent imperishie ther; Rather thy life shall richeer he. Give to the world thy best, The it may show Grossest ingrinditude, And know what knows True happiness in giving lies, And joy is born of sacrifice. Give to the world thy best— The love of sacrifice. More joy is to give Than to receive. As thou on others good bestow, The cup of bliss shall overflow. Give to the world thy best, In every way, Sorrow and being spent, From day to day; And boundlessly shall increase, The store of love, and joy, and peace. REVEREND From The Greenbore (N.C.) Daily News An Episcopal rector testifies that during the years of his ministry he has been called mister, father, padre, deacon, elder, brother, pastor, rector, doctor, reverend, revenue and reverner—the latter two attempts by the very ignorant at "reverend." Some verses written by another Protestant priest run to the effect that he invites people to call him brother, likes parson better, does not mind being called father if people prefer; plain mister is more welcome, he is not offended at doctor, a lthough claiming no doctorate, nor at preacher, pastor, rector, friend, but it does grate on him to be called reverend. It is related on the best authority that once when the minutes of the Ministerial union were being read they referred to "Reverend Hayes," whereupon Rev. L. B. Hayes interposed: "Sir, I allow no one save my Negro sexton to call me 'Reverend Hayes.'" "It is amazing," to the author of an article that is going the rounds of church papers, "what a large percentage of intelligent people will persist in making the grammatical blunder of addressing a clergyman as 'Reverend Jones.'" Grammatical blunder, yes; if it is understood that "grammatical" is used in a special and limited sense; grammar of ecclesiastical form. There is no logical reason why "the Reverend doctor, father, mister or John Jones," should be correct and "the Reverend Jones" incorrect. There are two reasons why "Reverend Jones" should be avoided; one is that it stamps the user as careless or ignorant of a convention of speech which persons of discrimination and intelligence usually observe; and the other is that it is unpleasant to the person so addressed. One newspaper that comes to this office is occasionally found to refer in headlines to "Rev. Jones," while observing the accepted form in its text. This department used earnestly to be department the news room to print "Rev. Dr. Jones" instead of "Dr. Jones," to differentiate clerical doctoring from other sorts, but long since gave over the effort. A long time ago, in the bad old days, a friend in the medical profession who used occasionally to on a rin-roaring jamboree was on one such occasion familiarly addressed by a porter as "Doc." The man received a stern reproach, delivered most impressively. "A 'doc,'" said the M. D., "is a horse doctor." We have never had an opinion on the point from a doctor of veterinary surgery. It might be interesting to a stranger to know that a North Carolinian who would on no account accost a white preacher as "reverend." or speak of him as "Reverend Jones," would use the one expression to and the other of a Negro preacher. It is one of those peculiarities, many of which are absurd enough, that have grown into the fabric of our race relationships. The modification is used by the white man to denote respect for the colored minister's cloth, or liking for him as a man, or both; and the recipient of the title, if himself of education and discrimination, accepts it in the spirit in which it is offered. Crippled Colored Children Aided The bureau of Education reports that educational work for crippled children, colored as well as white, is conducted in the hospitals of Richmond, Vn., through cooperation of the State Department of Public Instruction and the Crippled Children's Hospital Association, a volunteer organization. Since institution of the work in the three hospitals owned and operated by the Medical College of Virginia, more than 500 children have been enrolled in classes. Principals and teachers throughout Virginia are requested to notify the county nurse, the Red Cross, or the State Board of Health of crippled children in their vicinity, in order that arrangements may be made with parents' consent, for correction of defects. Saturday, December 4, 1926 The Equal Rights League under the leadership of William Monroe Trotter put the question of departmental segregation squarily up to President Coolidge, several months ago, As spokesman, Mr. Trotter presented a petition with many thousand subscribers urging the abolition, by executive order, of the undemocratic and unAmerican practice. The spokesman's address on the occasion was a classic of brovity, simplicity and forcefulness of speech. I have attended many conference with the President, secretaries and other high officials; but never have I witnessed the presentation of a more impressive plea, nor one which elicited a more sympathetic response. The White House spokesman whose thinly concealed identity is well known to the journalistic fraternity assured the delegation that the adminis- PETER B. tration has the matter well in hand and that segregation would be gradually eliminated, and finally wiped out altogether. The committee withdrew feeling that all had been accomplished that could possibly be done through petition and plen. Four months have clapsed, and we are still in a mood of watchful waiting and hopeful anticipation. The assurance was so candid and the expression so free from political caution and cant that none doubted its genuineness and sincerity. The delegation placed the fullest reliance upon this administrative assurance and still awaits fruit meet for justification of its faith. ```markdown ``` During the last congressional campaign, the Democratic platform of Massachusetts, contained a plank condemning segregation in the departments at Washington. This plank met with the fullest approval and advocacy of senator elect Walsh. After some hesitancy on part of his colored constituency, Senator Butler issued a statement during the last days of the campaign that he would return to Washington and work for the eradication of segregation with the full approval of President Coolidge. This was a most significant utterance Senator Butler is chairman of the National Republican Committee, and is in official charge of the party between conventions. President Coolidge is not only the chief magistrate of the American people as a whole, but is also the titular and actual head of the Republican party. He has all power in the matter of internal adjustments in the governmental departments. He Health Notes Beauty Is "Health" Deep By ELIZABETH COLE A fond mother said proudly to her neighbor who had come in to see the new son and heir, "An do ye not think he looks like his father?" The kindly neighbor replied cheerfully, "Nivor ye mind that as long as he's healthy." Rather hard on the poor pau maybe, yet really a compliment. For the old saying that beauty is only skin deep really means that it is only "health" deep. No one can be truly handsome unless she is truly healthy. With all the beauty creams and lotions ever made, a woman's face can never be her fortune unless the glow of health that comes from within is present. That glow of health will not come in a bottle — it will come in doses of daily health habits. Clear happy eyes, a pleasant smile, a cloudless skin and a well-poised carriage are what create the impression of beauty more than Venus-like features and an ivory pallor. To attain the true beauty that is health, requires a fair amount of perseverance as well as a knowledge of the ingredients that go into the formula for making it. Sleep—rest—are necessary. A nap in the middle of the day if household cares have been tiring and a good night's sleep of eight hours with plenty of fresh air will go far toward taking out the wrinkles or dark circles that have appeared under the eyes. Exercise in the open air, a brisk walk to and from the office if one is a business woman—and if one is a housewife the walk can be made into a business—will give better and more attractive color than all the powder and rouge compacts in the world. Exercises morning and evening will help much toward keeping the muscles limber and the carriage graceful. A diet that contains plenty of leafy vegetables, fresh or cooked fruits, not too much meat and few sweets and pas- Dr. Kelly Miller again stirs himself to arouse the race to defend fair play under the United States Civil Service Commission." "It is the point," declares Dr. Miller, "where a righteous, determined appeal is apt to prove most effective." Continuing, he adds, "It is more vital that we should see to it that the Negro has a fair chance to get into the Civil Service than to fight for proper assignment when once in. At present a few, if any Negroes, are recruiting the civil service outside of the postal service. Negro clerks are dropping out for one reason or the other. At the present rate there will be none left to tell the tale. This will make the handling of segregation easy for President Coolidge or for any administration." is wholly and solely responsible under the constitution for the conduct of the executive departments. Senator Butler was the President's personal candid a to for the senatorship in his home state. Of all candidates in all the states he alone secured the presidential endorsement. Although Mr. Butler was defeated, it can in no way alter his pledge. It is not thinkable to suppose that he was paltering with the Negroes merely to secure their votes in a close election. His effectiveness with the President and his policies is in no wise lessened by his defeat. He is still chairman of the National Committee from which he derived his power and influence with the administration rather than from his position as Senator from a single state. President Coolidge and Senator Butler can, if they will abolish every vestige of segregation in a day. If after this double assurance, departmental segregation is not speedily abolished, the Negro will have no foundation for further faith in public promises. * * * I can remember when but a boy, I entered the civil service as result of competitive examination. President Cleveland was then coming into power. A distinguished Democrat outlined one of the results of a Democratic administration would be that the government departments would be taken out of mourning. But no such results were forth following. The civil service law was enforced under Cleveland, absolutely without racial partiality. Theodore Roosevelt was Civil Service Commissioner, and rendered his first conspicuous public service in guaranteeing a square deal to every applicant regardless of race, religion or creed. Neither did the Negroos already in the service suffer any indignity beyond the general distribution of favor and advantage to members of the Democratic household, to which he did not belong. Then as now, the germs of racial segregation were in the air. They thrive like Pharoah's flies in the atmosphere of Washington. They easily infect the government departments. It makes little or no difference whether Republican or Democratic administration is in national power. Naturally the feeling is emboldened under Democratic ascendency which owes little or nothing to the Negro for its political triumph. ```markdown ``` Let me here record a bit of unrevealed history. On the night of March fourth, 1913, when Woodrow Wilson was inaugu- tries will keep the digestive apparatus functioning normally and thereby give a clear, fresh look to the whole skin. Given a health-deep beauty the visit to a beauty parlor or the use of good cleansing creams will have worthwhile effects. The relaxation and the feeling that one's pores are being thoroughly cleansed make facial massages a comfort, but these can never be of permanent value. Facial treatments can never remove lines of worry if the spirit within is not happy. They can never make the skin clear and fresh if the diet is wrong and late hours are constantly eating up reserve powers. Combined with the beauty that is more than skin deep, however, they can help produce the sparkling appearance and the charm that every woman wishes to have. When good daily health habits are practiced by everyone, the National Tuberculosis Association and its 1500 affiliated associations hope to conquer tuberculosis, the disease that most readily attacks rundown bodies. Their work is financed by the penny Christmas seals sold in December. Why not start nature's beauty course today by resolving to be really healthy-beautiful, and by helping someone else to be healthy through the purchase of some Christmas seals? rated, the admirers of the late Bishop Walters tendered him a complimentary banquet in the city of Washington. All of the political celebrities were there. It was widely proclaimed that Bishop Walters had supported the Democratic cause in the previous campaign and would serve as spokesman under the new administration on all racial matters. As the flies about the ointment and the carriages around the carecases, so flocked the politicians around this new political leader. On that occasion, the good Bishop called me aside and stated that a most influential member of the announced cabinet had sought his advice upon the proposition to set apart one of the bureaus of the government and man it from top to foot with a colored head and subordinates. This officer felt that in the Negro would show up to the best advantage by the comparative efficiency of a bureau under racial control. The good Bishop asked me what I thought of the suggestion, thereupon I replied that the race could accept such segregation only when it was forced upon it; but that no circumstances could we ask for it or accept it without protest. My judgment coincided with the Bishop's own views. On another occasion, the Bishop asked me to go with him to see Post Master General Burleson with reference to the retention of a worthy official who was a former pupil of mine. Before entering upon the business of his mission, the Bishop, who had been charged with favoring segregation, stated to the Post Master General, that he had been requested to favor racial segregation, but that such advocacy on his part would merely spell political suicide. Such are the facts of which I am a living witness. Although the spirit of segregation was in the departments, and expressed itself in sporadic instances and in disguised form, it was under Wilson's first administration that it was organized and formed. The Negro is the victim between the two parties. The Democrats set the pace because they can do so with greater impunity; when the Republican administration regains power it does not alter the restrictions which its predecessor has set. The segregation which assumed definite shape under Wilson has remained, so far undefied under Harding and Coolidge. The idea of separate grouping of Negro clerks has made great headway under the last three administrations. Some well qualified or well favored Negro is made petty chief and put in charge of a room full of Negro clerks. This type of segregation is assuming the proportions of a general policy. We can tell whose ox is gored by the reaction of the owner. I was discussing departmental segregation with a clerk of avowed radical proclivities who demanded equality with the "I" dotted and the "I" crossed; but alas, my radical friend had been made a petty chief over a staff of colored clerks. He declared that this is the only way in which a Negro clerk can hope for promotion, and that he saw no reason why any colored person should object to being assigned to his room and to serving under him as chief. For the past three or four years, I have been trying my best to grow the race to the necessity of demanding fair play under the Civil Service Commission. I have over and over again requested our leaders and political spokesmen to focus attention at this vicious vital point. It is also the point where a righteous determined appeal is apt to prove most effective. I use the only term "demand", knowing full well that a demand is effective only to the extent that it has effective force behind it. And yet I firmly believe that the Negro has sufficient moral force to require the administration to observe the ordinary rules of fairness. I wish here and now to renew the issue. It is more vital that we should see to it that the Negro has a fair chance to get into the civil service than to fight for proper assignment when once in. At the present time few if any Negroes are recruiting the civil service outside of the postal service. Negro clerks are dropping out for one reason or another. At the present rate there will be left none to tell the tale. This will make the handling of segregation easy for President Coelidge or for any administration. If there are no colored clerks of course there will be no segregation. In a Negro hating community, a Negro afflicted with the smallpox was confined to a remote shanty which was set on fire. Small pox was eliminated by destruction. Let us be keenly on the obit, that segregation is not eliminated by extermination of the segregated.
