Death Silences The Trenchant Pen Of Editor LATE COL. MATT. N. LEWIS EDITOR M. N. LEWIS DEAD Owner And Publisher Of Newport News Star Succumbs Col. Matt N. Lewis, editor and owner of the Newports Star, died Sunday night at 10 o'clock, at his residence following a short illness. Mr. Lewis was a native of Savannah, Ga., and was 68 years old. The intrepid editor, who for 25 years had made the Star a powerful organ of opinion in the State and one trenchant pen was ever known to be found in defense of right as he saw it, and especially as right affected his race, was taken sick Tuesday previous to the day of his death with an attack of gripe, the illness developing into pneumonia. Saturday. Up until the time he was taken sick, he had apparently been in good health. Pioneer Journalist Col. Lewis was a pioneer Negro journalist. Before he went to Newport News and established the Star, thirty-three years ago, he was editor of the Daily Recorder of Norfolk which represented the first effort of the race to have a newspaper here, and prior to his removal to Norfolk he had been editor of a paper in Petersburg. Soon after minking his home in Newport News the government service and served nearly 60 years as an inspector of customs, carrying his work in connection with the Star outside of hours in his customs work.

Throughout the time he was employed in the customs service, he expressed the intention of resigning on his sixtieth birthday, Mr. Morecock said, and on September 30, 1918, when he reached that age, he tendered his resignation. "That was during the war," Mr. Morcecko said, "at a time when resignations from the service were discouraged by the depart ment; but because of his desire expressed so many times during his time to retire from service at 60, Norman Hamilton, collector of the port, granted his request and accepted the resignation, expressing his appreciation of the work Lewis and his regrets at losing so valuable a man." Led In Various Fields Mr. Lewis' reputation as an editor was known far outside of the boundaries of his own State, and in Virginia and Tidewater he was engaged as a leader of his people. He was frugal, farsighted and had engaged during his life time, in spite of the hazardous venture of newspapering which he followed so long, to provide himself with a modest competence. He was closely identified with a number of fraternal organizations and staunch supporter of relief in work. His newspaper, the Star, is at present on the eve of issuing its 25th anniversary edition, and in this effort Mr. Lewis had expended considerable energy in the past several months. He looked forward to that event as one of the crowning achievements of his artistic career. journals. Funeral services for him will be held Friday at 1 o'clock from Carver Memorial Presbyterian Church, Marshall avenue and 24th street, of which he was an elder. He will be buried in Holly Grove cemetery, beside his wife, who died six years ago. Norfolk, Second City in Virginia. Population 174,600: White 111,600 $ _{2} $ Colored 63,000.

"The social well-being of our country," the President stated, "requires our constant effort for the amelioration of race prejudice and the extension to all elements of equal opportunity and equal protection under the laws which are guaranteed by the Constitution. The Federal Government especially is charged with this obligation in behalf of the colored people of the Nation. Not only their remarkable progress, their devotion and their loyalty, but our duty.

C., Dec. 6—Mrs. Lucie Ames Mead, of Boston, Mass., who is touring the country, delivering lectures on World Peace, under auspices of the National Council for the Prevention of War, told the students of A. and T. College here that war was not a necessity and that man does not really want war. She further stated that most Americans were killed by their own countrymen and not by a foreign foe. "We have fewer killings by foreign wars, than we have killings by robbers and other criminals of our country," declared Mrs. Mead. "Armies and navies are not necessary to keep the peace," she continued, "In America within the states there are lawlessness, and injustice such as lynching and other horrible crimes, but still impaired the border of these states they keep the peace. International peace is absolutely possible," she said. No Fear of Foreign Foe "Secretary Hughes said, as far as we can see in the future America has nothing to fear from foreign foe as Christians and an educated nation, if we abolish the idea of war two billion men can be discharged and be allowed to produce instead of living on public support, 75 per cent of the money for army and navy can be saved in the U.S. Treasury for schools of this kind, and others.

The state of the Union, the President reported to the Congress, is one of general peace and prosperity. The United States is engaged in the armed conflicts and that no acute chronic depression exists anywhere. Causes of Prosperity There are three causes for the present state of prosperity, President Coolidge said. The first is economy, resulting in reduction and reform in national taxation. The other two are the elimination of waste and a general raising of the standards of efficiency. In the matter, of tax reduction he urged the House Way's anti Means Committee without reference to political parties to agree on a bill making reductions, in the payments which accrue on the 15th of March and June, 1927. Such temporary reduction, he said, "Would directly affect millions of taxpayers, and would sum up forsakes in new enterprise, stimulating industrial production and agricultural consumption, and indirectly benefiting every family in the whole country." Farm Relief The President reviewed his efforts and the helpful measures he en during the last five years the different acts of Congress for advancing the interests of the farmers. Additional benefits will accrue to the farmers, he declared, from the development of inland waterways, a more comprehensive and less expensive system of transportation and provision for an adequate supply of fertilizer by the proposed development at Muscle Shoals. The condition of the wage earner has steadily improved, the President reported. While there are a multitude of unskilled workers who have not yet come to share in the general prosperity of the Government, he said, "The Federal Government has been seeking to secure this end through protective tariff, through active immigration, through securing safety devices for the prevention of accidents, through the granting of workman's compensation, through civilian vocational rehabilitation and education, through employment information bureau, and through such humanitarian relief as was provided in the maternity and infantry legislation." Coal Industry The President recommended the passage of legislation to assist him in dealing with any emergency that might arise in the bituminous coal industry by reason of the expiration of the wage agreements W. A. Daniel, 31, of Atlanta, Ga., was awarded second place for his social study on "The Education of Negro ministers." A general statement regarding the islands which the United States has acquired in the East and West Indies was included in his annual message. He discussed specifically the Philippine Islands. No specific mention was given regarding the condition of the Virgin Islands. Legislation for their relief is pending in the Congress. Prohibition Questions In discussing the prohibition on question, the President urged enforcement of the law by State as well as Federal agencies. He declared, however, that those who do not approve of the prohibition have a perfect right to regulate legal methods of "But for any of our inhabitants," he said, "to observe such parts of the Constitution as they like, while disregarding others, is a doctrine that would break down all protection of life and property and da (Continued on Page Eight).

If Top of Salt or Pepper Shaker Sticks If the top of salt or pepper shaker refuses to budge, use a nutcracker as a wrench, as it is small and easy to handle and is likely to be near at hand when needed. Index Your Various Dishes Keep an index of various dishes usually prepared, each under its proper heading of Breads, Soups, etc. When puzzled over what to prepare for a meal a glance at the family favorites will often suggest a dish that has been almost forgotten. To Clean Fine Mesh Strainer A milk or other fine mesh strainer should have soap rubbed, on it to push the dirt through the wires. Pour boiling water over the soap to carry it away and the strainer will be better cleaned than with a brush. Try These Meat Cakes The next time you make Hamburger Meat Cakes, add 2 level teaspoons of Calumet Baking Powder to each pound of meat and see how much lighter and tastier they will be. Neither do they become heavy or hard upon cooling. When beating eggs separately, beat the whites first and steal a little to put with the yolks. They will get light more quickly and not stick to the whips as when beaten up alone. Using the Old Ledger On old ledger with alphabetical index is a great help in keeping and using recipes. Paste recipes for apples, asparagus, etc., on the "A" page, and so on. Patching an Old Apron New patches on an old apron are generally too conspicuous. Make the apron strings longer than needful so that when a patch is wanted it can be cut from the strings that have faded along with apron. FILLERS FOR WOMAN'VE PAG If They Stand If boiled potatoes must stand after cooking, cover the top of the pan with several folds of cheese-cloth and let it stand on a warm part of the stove. This allows the moisture to escape, but it protects the vegetable from the cold air. Crisp Vegetables All fresh vegetables should be perfectly crisp before they are put into boiling water to cook. If they have become wilted, they should first be restored in cold water. Footwear Hints New shoes which do not polish well should be rubbed with a cut lemon. Leather which is only slightly damp is difficult to polish. Rub a little paraffin on before applying the ordinary cream. In muddy weather put an extra amount of polish along the join between the uppers and the soles. This will not only make the footwear waterproof, but will also prevent the mud caking on the leather. It is possible to overcome the "squeak" in a shoe by rubbing sweet oil into the sole. Another plan is to get a large needle and push this in and out between the upper and the sole on both sides. Wet shoes retain their shape while drying if "trees" are inserted or if the shoes are stuffed with tissue paper after they are taken off.

GEORGIA - SOUTH CAROLINA A. A. PICK ALL-STARS The season of 1926 was one of the best in the history of the association. Each school played more and better games and with less wrangling over officials decisions than ever before. This conference consists of the following schools: Benedict College, Allen University, S. C. State College, Claflin University, Voorhees Institute, and Morris College, in South Carolina, and Paine College, Georgia State College, and Haines High School in Georgia. Paine College won the championship and a silver cup, because Paine played a more consistent game than any other in the Association. Every one seemed a star on all occasions, thereby winning handily from each opposing team. The writer has seen every team in the Association play and I am making my selection from observation rather than newspaper accounts and mere hearsay. FIRST TEAM L.E.—Cunningham (Paine) L.C.—Meadow (Allen) L.C.—Lennon (State College) C.—Wilkins State College R.G.—Adams (Paine) R.T.—Bradman (Allen) R.E.—Greene (Morris College) G.L.—Lamar (Haines Hi) I.H.—Cunningham (State College) R.H.—Wiggins (Paine) F.B.—Blake (Chaffin) SECOND TEAM L.E.—Bythewood (Chaffin) L.T.—Abner (Pain co College) L.C.—Hillary (Haines Hi) C.—Scott (Paine College) R.G.—Crewford (State College) R.E.—Rucker (Paine) R.E.—Miller (State College) Q.B.—NeCain (Morris) L.H.—Williams (Pendell) R.H.—Cotton (State College) F.G.—Graham (Benedict) The above first team has weight, experience and knots enough football to give a good account of itself against any team in the South. 'FATS JENKINSGREAT FACTOR IN BIG FIVES VICTORIOUS SCRAP BY THOMAS W. YOUNG New York—"Fat" Jenkins—the fastest man in basketball. It tells a long story in a few words. It was the redoubtable "Fat" who twisted and squirmed and dribbed and shot, and was a big noise in giving the Renaissance five a 40 to 16 victory over the Bronx Professionals here Sunday night in the Renaissance Casino before 2,000 fans. All in all, Jenkins did a wonderful job in guard, and besides worked his way into the shooting area to register six baskets from the floor and a couple from the foul line, claiming high point honors with 14. Georgia Fiall was next down the line with four double deckers and a trio of single for 11 points which came as the result of a dazzling exhibition of basketball ability. Someone on the side said that George and "Fat" were all wet, whatever that means. The Bronx team is composed of good material, but it just could not get by the Renaissance defence which some are wont to call impenetrable. At least Bronx could find flaws in it often enough only to register three field goals, and anl defence that holds the Davis brothers, Stuchberry, Stefert, and Smolich so unyieldingly is dum near good. Whe nthe visitors appeared in their white jerseys on which there were three Yiddish characters, as best your correspondent could discern, they raised somewhat of a disturbance. But when Bob Douglas 'expert announcer read "Bronx Professionals of New York" from those three ink spatterings, those not versed in the ancient language began to marvel at its comprehensiveness. OMEGA BOWS TO SIGMA QUINTET By J. W. JONES Nashville, Tenn.—Casting aside the jins that has followed them for the last two years the fast "Zeta Fire" of the Phi Beta outclassed the champion Omega quintette and galloped away with the long end of the score. Local fandom was treated to one of the fastest and cleanest contested battle ever witnessed on a court in this city. The side lines were overflowing with spectators long before game time, in happy anticipation of what was to take place. The Phi Beta Sigma took the floor first and a mighty yell went up from the cheering section. Approximately five minutes later the Omegas took the floor attired in new uniforms of purple trimmed in gold with sweat shirts to match. This was a signal for Omega rootters and sympathizers to go wild. Sorrell of the Phi Betas began the scoring with a field goal. Then the Omegas tied the score, took the lead and held it through the first half which ended 8 to 6. The Phi Betas came back strong and struck their stride. The score was tide at 8 to 8 and 10 to 10, but then the Sigma forged ahead and held the lead. The contest ended with the Omegas putting up a desperate fight to catch up. Kcean a former Howard student was easily the star of the game. His passing and handling of the ball was mystifying to the Omegas and baffling to the spectators. He made three long shots that brought the spectators to their feet and put the game on ice. He was closely followed by Sorrell of Baltimore fame who was the high scorer for the Phil Betas. Captain Brown and Fowler came in for their merits, for their playing was faultless and of a sensational variety. Pannell played as usual a bang-up game at guard. TALLADEGA S BASKETBALL Talladega, Ala.—A most successful foe by playing the migrators to a 27 to 2 Talladega Athletes their eyes to the dew-winning basketball tee. Over 25 candidates practically all the men For the Omegas, Knox stood out pre-eminently. He was the high scorer for his team and two of the field goals seemed impossible. Hardwick played a great game, but was guarded so closely that he was not able to be of much service to his team through the scoring route. Hownes and Green played their positions well and Townes even made a beautiful field goal from the center of the floor. Although the two teams were pretty nearly matched the Phil Betas had the edge on account of their fast foot work and superior passing. The final score was 22 to 19.

Among the new additions to the squad are Ruben "Chick" Lewis, guard from Alabama State Normal; Thompson "Cocky" Williams, forward from Morehouse; and Henry Cooper, one of the most valuable men on the varsity of 1924.

R. H. Bowling Says Last Mites Over Bodies of Mrs. Trotter and Miss Harper A twin cream-colored plush casing, flanked opposite each other, before the rostrum of the First priest Church Friday afternoon attaining the bodies of Mrs. Reeve Trotter and Miss Margaret Harper, the sisters, who were shot and killed by Adam Perry, the husband of a third sister, Mrs. Mary Perry, who, too, was critically wounded by the slayer. Tuesday of last week at 7:14 am, aville street. While these bodies lay there, mute evidence of a fearful tragedy, for the last to be said of them by the Rev. Richard H. Bowling, the pastor, a wool composed mostly of those one merely to satisfy a morbid rosiness, filled nearly every seat of the church. Neither one of the women was a member of the First Baptist church. Mr. Bowling was preaching the funerals upon request of members of their family. Deeply fettered himself by the scene, the minister, used the occasion to inform the public not to needlessly arrasse the surviving members of the tragic struck family with searching gazes and impatient questions, nor even with their unfulfilled presence in the bereaved times. But he urged the intimate friends to stay close by and do that was in their power to contend those who must suffer as a result of the untimely death of their relatives. The pastor also formerly pointed the mourners and others gathered in the church to visit. At the conclusion of the sermon two women's fartheral societies arrived out their funeral services over the remains of their shiip praises. The services concluded, for nearly an hour the crowd passed down the aisles and with delicate countenances, viewed the bodies in theiskets. It was a large crowd, but there was no attempt at crushing. It seemed to be too impressed with the tragic atmosphe of the occasion to move faster than a mail's pace down the aisles. Outside, two heares, in charge of funeral director Hale, stood ready to bear the bodies to their resting places. A long line of automobiles carrying the mourners and the lodge members made the funeral procession. Adam Perry, the murderer has yet been apprehended. Irs.

"Look for this cross on all the Christmas Seals you buy. Only the seals which bear the double-barred red cross will aid in the great county, state and nationwide fight against tuberculosis," states the Virginia Tuberculosis Association. The preventative and curative work supported by the Christmas Seals has grown so in Virginia in the past few years that every effort is being made by the army of volunteer workers who are selling the seals to surpass all previous records, in order to continue and enhance this program which includes clinics, summer camps for children, sanatorium treatment for indigent patients, nutrition and health education. From the orders "Rush a hundred thousand more Christmas Seals," and similar messages pouring into the Atlantic Life Building, Lechmond, all indications point to a fine sale. The fifteen million seals which were to be distributed in Virginia have nearly all been sent out to the County and City Chairman of the sale, but it was stated at headquarters that there will be enough to fill all orders. One billion, five hundred millions of the bright little stickers have been issued by the National Tuberculosis Association; which states that it is probable that the national sale will amount to five million, five hundred thousand dollars this year.

Ministers conference of Tidewater in St. John's Church Monday morning when it is customary for the passers to report on their work on their respective fields, but on models of Dr. L. L. Berry the order of the day was suspended in order that the members might hear paper on "The Complex of Justification" by Rev. J. S. Hatcher, D. Richmond, who ministered the conference. This paper was written with profound interest with profound delivery in a manner related to cause deep meditation on the subject. Rev. Dr. F. A. Seaton, presiding over the Norfolk District, reported that on order of Bishop J. Albert Johnson, Rev. J. H. A. Martin, who is now pastoring' on the Eastern Shore, has been suddenly transferred to the Staunton District to pastor a church in Staunton on account of an emergency arising in that section. The conference lauded the work of Mr. Martin on the Norfolk District and expressed regret at his leaving it. A token of esteem was given him in the form of a modest sum of cash. Dr. Rev. G. C. Taylor, of Newport News, president of the conference formally announced the death of Editor Matt N. Lewis of the Newport News Star and on motion of Rev. Dr. Berry the conference, out of respect to the memory of Editor Lewis at its closing hour, went into reverent song and a moment of meditation.

MELVIN Memorial services for the late George W. Draye, for 40 years a teacher in the schools of Norfolk county, were held Sunday last at 4 p. m., at the First Baptist Church under auspices of the Norfolk, Portsmouth and Norfolk County Teachers' Association. Prof. W. E. Riddell, principal of I. C. Norcom High School, Portsmouth, acted as master of ceremonies. Opening devotionals were conducted by Rev. D. J. Lee, Mr. E. P. Southall, principal of Bocher T. Washington Junior High School, for many years a pupil of the deceased, spoke of Mr. Braye as a teacher; Mr. D. G. Jacox, for 30 years associated with Mr. Braye as an educator, dwelt upon him as a colleague. Other speakers delivering short addresses were Mrs. Laura E. Titus, who told of Mr. Braye's contribution to the cause of music; Mr. C. A. Palmer, who impressively portrayed his religious life, and Mr. H. W. Meltin, who discourses upon his usefulness and generosity. A letter from Mr. A. Palmer in a letter of high school in Cheraw, S. C. was read. Its pathas affected the entire audience. One of the unique features of the service was the rendition by the pupils of his school one of Mr. Braye's favorite hymns. Every speaker stressed the fact that if ever man walked in the footsteps' of his Master·George Braye did. He was extolled as great in the meaning that the Savior defined greatness: "He that is great among you, let him be servant." It was of such a life as was lived by this depressed lover of humanity that Alfred Austin, the British poet-laureate, was thinking when he wrote these inspired lines: So long as Faith with Freedom And loyal Hope survives, And gracious Charity remains, To leaven lowly skies; While there is one unrotted trac For Intellect or Will, And man is free to think and act Life is worth living still. BAPTIST MINISTERS MOVE FOR GREAT UNION REVIVAL BAPTIST MINISTERS MOVE FOR GREAT UNION REVIVAL It was Report Day at the weekly meeting of the Baptist Ministers of Norfolk, Portsmouth and vicinity at First Calvary Baptist Church Monday noon last, when the various pastors report of the work on their respective fields. These reports were given with marked enthusiasm and showed that the denomination is progressing well in the Tidewater section. The feature of the meeting was the adoption of a revolution on the suggestion of Rev. Nelson B. Brown, empowering the chair to appoint a committee to work out plans and suggestions for a great union revival in the churches of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkley to be held some time in February. In discussing this resolution the pastors were unanimous in their opinion that it is ripe for a continuous spiritual drive by the churches of the vicinity. Another matter of much importance that came before the meeting on the suggestion of Rev. Dr. O. C. Jones, of Portsmouth, was a church financing. Dr. Jones gave it as his opinion that the 100s methods of raising funds for current church expenses are proving a handicap to the advancement of the cause. A committee was appointed to bring recommendations for improvement along this line.

Upon invitation of the president, J. Eugene Diggs, prominent attorney, delivered a brief, timely and forceful talk on the necessity of closer cooperation among the various business and professions of the race group here, particularly stressing the needful advantages that come from a better understanding of each other's various problems and closer acquaintanceship among those who strive to promote the economic and educational welfare of the race. Other speakers who strongly emphasized the improbance of the league in the life of the colored people here, and pledged their best support to it, were Rev. Dr. A. C. Clark, pastor of Monumental A. M. E. Church, and Rev. Nelson B. Brown, B. Th., pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church. Rev. B. B. Evans, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, has been a member of the league since its revival and is taking a leading part in helping to make it worthwhile. Mrs. Moore Speaks Mrs. Mary E. Moore, president of the Mary E. Moore Manufacturing Company, makers of toilet preparations, and founder of the Mary E. Moore School of Beauty Culture, of Boston, who has just recently opened a branch of her concern in this city, was the lone woman present, but the reception extended her was profuse. She addressed the body upon business prospects and cooperation, and not only pledged her support to the league, but emphatically stated that she had come to Norfolk to share its community problems as well as hope for its advantages. The members were exceedingly glad to welcome Mrs. Moore, but it is plain that they were slightly embarrassed in the thought that it appeared that a new resident in the city happened to be the only woman here apparently taking sufficient interest in the aims of the organization to lend her presence. The next meeting will be held at the same place on the first Tuesday night in January, when it is hoped and expected that an even larger number will be present and the membership considerably boosted. President's Message Urges Lessening of Race Prejudice Continued from page 1) stroy the American system of ordered liberty." "His report on the state of the Union included also a discussion of the tariff, reclamation, transportation, the merchant marine, radio legislation, the judiciary, banking, Federal regulation of business activities, the national defense, veterans, alien property, foreign relations and a building pro- gram for the city of Washington National Ideals The President closed his message with a plan for the maintenance of national ideals. He said: "To relieve the land of the burdens that came from the war, to release to the individual more of the fruits of his own industry, to increase his earning capacity and decrease his hours of labor, to onlarge the circle of his vision thru good roads and better transportation, to place before him the opportunity for education both in science and in art, to leave him free to receive the inspiration of religion, all these are ideals which deliver him from the servitude of the body and exalt him to the service of the soul. Thru this emancipation from the things that are material, we broaden our domination over the things that are spiritual." She Put Pep In Contest M. A. MRS. LUCY HARTH SMITH Mrs. Smith representing Kentucky fashion came very near up setting the hopes of most of the contestants. Although she was somewhat late in entering she accumulated 11,854,500 votes and won fifth prize, $75.00 in gold. Mrs Smith writes us: "I am glad to say that my spirit in rendering what service I could for your paper was bigger than the first prize, for although I did not win I am happy when I realize that I have been successful in circulating the Journal and Guide among both groups here, including the superintendent of schools, the city commissioners, editor and owner of our leading Democratic newspaper and leaders of both groups. "My husband, Paul V. Smith, whom I first saw on Hampton football field as captain, making a touchdown, helped me in scoring here for your paper, for I do not believe that there is another race paper circulating here with as large a paid annual subscription." (Continued from Page One) Refers To Insults By White Sport Writers In condoning his own stand that the black American's complaints are super-sensitive, Mr. Daniel adds "we do not know what our lost subscribers do when they attend a theatre and hear some of the time-honored plantation songs with such lines as 'Darkies, let us sing a song of the ole plantation,' or 'Oh! darkies, how my heart grows weary.' Neither can we imagine how they can select a newspaper whose sporting writers have not offended them beyond redemption in their references to Negro pupilists to whom gratuitous insult is sometimes offered in an effort to draw humor at the expense of their color." Should Furnish Press With List of Odiums Mr. Daniel further suggests that the representative Negro societies should present the white press with a communication in which the terms to which they attach odium in descriptions of their people should be set forth. He further upholds the prevailing practice of sport writers and others to humiliate the race by use of insulting terms in writing of the commendable deeds of the race by adding that "there is certainly no disposition on the part of newspaper men who have never known the experiences of cruel prejudices, such as those which have been practiced in Southern states, to offend a people that gives many evidences of keen susceptibility." of Harmon Awards (Continued from Page One) signal in a regenerative network.

Mr Alexander, a Southern white man is Executive Director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. In issuing the announcement, Dr George E.

It will liberate the white people to expect such achievement and fairly accord it recognition." Although the field of music was included in the series of awards open to Negroes, it was the opinion of the judges in music that "no original creative work was submitted of such outstanding importance as to merit" the award. The fund in this field will be held in trust to be distributed in later awards if worthy productions are submitted. At Unusual Prices Our entire store is now in Christmas attire.

These are some of the high lights observed in the work of the North Carolina Association which, for the past five years, has been sustained by the master hand of Jas. E. Shepard who raised the membership within that period from 100 to 3,000 or nearly 50 per cent of all Negro teachers. The comprehensiveness of the scope and work of the Association is well evidenced by the 16-page folder outlining the program for the 3-day session. Many notables of both races appeared and contributed substantially to the program. President Shephard's annual address ran true to form in admonishing his protegues that new and greater tasks confronted them and that the call to self-sacrifice was growing in volume; that the true mission of the teacher is faithfulness to God and to the State, that "patriotism and patience" must continue as the slogan which must enervate the thousands of torch-bearers who are devoted to the cause of education. The president's address was in the nature of a valedictory, he having previously announced that he would re-linguish the reins of administration after this term. He received an ovation, following his masterly and scholarly exposition, and was extolled at other times and warmly felicitated because of the success of his term of office. Thursday night's program sustained the interest and climaxed the session in the presentation of President H. C. Trenholm of State Normal, Montgomery, Alabama, the most youthful of state school executives; Dr. Carter G. Woodson, eminent American historian of Washington and W. Albert Robinson, Supervisor of Negro Schools and Teacher Training, North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, corresponding secretary of the Association and president of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, Professor Trenholm brought fraternal greetings from the Association of Alabama which, he said, includes 90 per cent of the 3,700 Negro teachers of that State. The speaker gave an interesting review of educational conditions in his native State and made some comparisons with North Carolina conditions which edified the latter commonwealth. He declared that the Tar Heel State was arousing a quite happy reaction in his territory and that our progress was pointing the way to greater accomplishments in the farther South Carter Woodson was himself.

McANTS ANDREWS Durham, N.C.—The 46th annual session of the North Carolina Negro Teachers' Association has just been held at Salisbury on November 24-25-26. The scene was one of many contrasts and revelations. The very atmosphere was one of originality and independence, there at Livingstone College, the living reflection of the great departed spirit, J. C. Price. Evolution of Negro Teacher The most interesting feature of almost any Negro teachers' organization today is the evolution of the Negro teacher himself. From the greasy and mealy-mouthed titimer an dapologist he has long since advanced to the season oled, dignified and prosperous pedagogue who is today nearing retirement and who is—willingly—yielding the leadership to young college-bred men who are upstanding and sophisticated. Especially has this condition evolved in North Carolina. It is an easy venture that there are more affluent, property adding savants and more well-trained young administrators in this State today than are commonly found in American commonwealths. It is no less apparent that there is found here a real succession of leadership, springing from an unusually-genuine cooperative spirit between educators of divergent ages and experience. In fact, the articulate voice in Negro education in North Carolina today is a voice sounding in an experience of less than 40 years. These generalizations, together with their particular reference to North Carolina, are equally true of women teachers as of men. The insignificant, choleric anti-feminism is entirely disappeared and is succeeded by a clear-eyed young woman who is capable and unfraid; who knows what it is all about and who reflects a culture and beauty which only intelligence can breed. Have Generous Spirit To an outsider looking on it is indeed a revelation to find the poorest of all professionals providing their budget for substantial donation to the N. A. A. C. P., the association for the Study of Negro life and History, the N. C. Home for Delinquent Girls, the National association of Teachers, for prizes, bring cups and other awards for excellence in scholarship; it was a revelation to visit the sections held each day and hear intimate and technical discussions of subjects and matters pertaining to the schools and grades of all degrees, to hear less said of raising teachers' salaries (although they are admittedly sub-standard) than anything else because of the spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion which the members of the association possess; it was a revelation to witness the elevation of the rural school in North Carolina in the event that a rural pupil won the first IVE health as a Christmas present—to yourself, to every member of family, and everybody in your unity.

In trip-hammer fashion the historian paraded before his audience men and women of African descent whose achievements have added to the sum total of human happiness, while he derogated men like Caesar, Napoleon and Alexander the Great, referring to them as some of the "world's greatest imposters" because they increased the world's unhappiness and brought misery to thousands. The net result of this cyclonic ex- Interracial Co Improved Acc of Travel for Interracial Committee Seeks Improved Accommodations of Travel for Colored People State Committee Reviews Progress And Sets Goals For New Year Louisville, Ky., Dec. 1—Several hundred persons attended the sessions of the seventh annual state interracial conference held in this city a few days ago, at which progress was reviewed and goals were set for the ensuing year. Among the principal speakers were James Weldon Johnson, of New York, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., Dr. J. L. Kesler of the faculty of Vanderbilt University, Prof. W. H. Fouse, of Lexington, L. N. Taylor of the State Department of Education, I. Willis Cole, Editor of the Louisville Leader, Dean Kirke Smith of Lincoln Institute, Dr. O. O. Miller, of Louisville, and Prof. H. H. Cherry, of State Teachers' College. J. Weldon Johnson and Dr. Kesler addressed a large interracial mass meeting in one of the big downtown churches and, though from opposite sections of the country, agreed completely in their appeals for fairness and friendliness in the relations of the races. Commenting in his speech on Dr. Kesler's address, Mr. Johnson remarked that it would have required courage to make such a speech even in Boston. A number of addresses were made on progress in education, health, the courts, and the public press, followed by free discussions from the floor. General gratification was expressed with the advances that have been made along these lines. Among the goals which the Commission set before itself for the ensuing year were equality of accommodations in railroad trains, busses, and stations; equal facilities for the comfort of colored people in department stores; the establishment by the State of an institution for feeble minded colored children and the placing of a Negro physician on the staff of the State Board of Health. Dr. James Bond, who for several years has served most efficiently as the executive of the interracial work in Kentucky, will continue in that capacity. THE A culosis death rate by more than half.

Self-Examinative The task of self-examination requires, first, intimate knowledge and secondly, a brutal frankness. W.A. Robinson possesses both; and he successfully punctured the bubble of "mutual admiration" and deflated the body politic to a condition of safety by proving that (1) the teaching profession is not respectable when compared with other professions; (2) the profession is too full of people who do not realize professional obligations; (3) the profession is not highly esteemed (citing, for instance, that newspapers are resistant to print much of the doings of teachers because, as they allege, the general public—including, the SONS OF VIRGINIA BROOKLYN, N. Y. ANNUAL SESSION (Dodson News Service) (Dudson News Service) Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. 7—The Society of the Sons of Virginia, Inc., rounded out a year of many good things accomplished at its annual meeting held at Masonic Temple last Thursday evening. The reports showed an increase in membership, benevolence, education at interests, and the purchase of a fourteen thousand five hundred dollar apartment house. The meeting was largely attended and was full of interest from beginning to end. Leroy H. Hodges, financial secretary and Alfred R. Nash, treasurer, were given praise for their good work as were also the board of directors. The election of officers resulted as follows by unanimous vote: N. 3. Dodson, re-elected, president; J. Lee. B. Mumford, vice president; arcy H' Hodge, financial secretary; Robert Whiting, recording secretary; Albert R. Nash, treasurer; R. Hankless, chaplain; De Vittio Oliver, sergeant-at-mars.erving J. Winters was elected to the board of managers being the youngest member ever elected to the board. The installation of officers will be held the first Thursday evening in January 1927. Fredrick Stokley will be the caterer. "Sigma Mansion" Opens In Nashville Nashville, Tenn.—The luxurious Sigma Mansion, the fraternity house recently purchased for $20,300 and furnished by the Kappa Chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma at Meharry Medical College, was formally opened on Thanksgiving Day with social activities of the most brilliant type. The building was ready for inspection at 2 o'clock p. m. The living-room, dining room, halls and other rooms were beautifully decorated with the fraternity colors, blue and white. From the time the visitors were admitted until the orchestra played "Good Night" the hosts were busy showing eager observers through the house. The public was permitted to inspect until 9 p. m., after which the members of the fraternity and honored guests enjoyed dancing until late hours. During the entertainment the guests were refreshed with a delicious punch. Representatives from all the local chapters of other fraternities and sororities and leading men were present. Guests attended, from as far East as New York, West as Chicago, and South, as Atlanta, Ga. At the close of the festivities the register showed that more than 1500 guests had been present. Tennessee Fair To Present Scholarships Nashville, Tenn.-The officials of the Tennessee Colored State Fair, in addition to aplying themselves to the formation of constructive plans for better farming and live stock raising for the 1927 exhibition at Nashville, will award six prizes to as many deserving young people. The prizes will be tuition and board and a certain amount of cash. The individual will be permitted to make the selection of any school of higher education in the State, including Seminaries. KNOW THYSELF So said Socrates 3,000 years ago. Equally imperative is it to-day that not only should the individual know himself, but that a race should know itself—its status, its achievements, its possibilities. Particularly should the American Negro know himself for self knowledge is power. For this knowledge read NEGRO YEAR BOOK COMPANY Tuskegee Institute, Alabama In This Way We Serve-- We want you to come to us, exactly as you would to your best friends for assistance in your hour of greatest need.

[teachers themselves—will not read it] and (4) that the profession is not organized (North Carolina, for example, includes in its organization only 41 per cent of its Negro teachers, despite the fact that the membership has increased 3,000 per cent since 1921.) Great Need of The Profession The greatest need of the profession, the speaker declared, was a genuine spirit of cooperation which will make the N. A. T. C. S. the Negro's N. E. A., by building its coffers and expanding its influence for the general good of the profession. Many teachers are now coming to North Carolina, declared the speaker, because the salaries here are higher than in some other states; but North Carolina must help to keep them at home by influencing higher salaries in their localities. And conditions in North Carolina cannot be bettered until this State has contributed to the poor conditions in other states. For this forward-looking, vicarious service a strong national organization must be molded. North Carolina, the gathering was told, is suffering especially because of a lack of physical equipment, an urgent need of supervisors and special teachers and higher salaries. The speaker likened the present teaching force unto Moses, who could view but could not enter the Promised Land and plead with his hearers to join hands in making the entry to that favored country possible for their successors. The scriptural text that "old men dream dreams and young men see visions," he declared, is literally true with the profession. The dreams of the elders they know will never be realized by them, but the visions of youth are possible under an extended program as he proposes for the National Association of Teachers in Colored schools. The concluding day of the session was well filled with a point-blank attack on the classics by Dr. Henry Highsmith, Director of High Schools, North Carolina Department of Education, an interesting illustrated lecture on Africa by Miss Mabel Carney, Teachers' College, Columbia University, New York, the awards by the judges of exhibits and other prizes, and the inevitable election of officers, magnificent resolutions and last-minute business of the association.

The official plan of reorganization offers standard curriculum with electives, which enables any student to obtain a course of practical subjects without being unalterably saddled to "the classies." This official believes that many students are "born short" in some lines and should not "be driven out of high school" by being forced to continue such studies, when there are so many substitutions of more practical and helpful value in which excellence may be entreated. The speaker declared that there is not a field of study today which is not open to a student well trained and grounded in the English language, and that English, rather than the classies, or even than foreign languages, is the need of the high school student. The speaker visited in a mountain fastness in North Carolina where he found the teacher drilling her pupile in Spanish, her explanation of why she was teaching this subject being "its commercial value." Very forcefully and very clearly Dr. Highsmith declared that the purpose of the State is to democratize the high school; that the main function of the public high school in North Carolina is to train for citizenship, and only secondarily to prepare for college. Perhaps the finest tribute to the Negro teachers of North Carolina was handed them by Mr. A. E. Hillman, Director of Certification, who accompanied Dr. Highsmith to the meeting. According to this authority who has charge of the ratings of teachers from which salaries are graded, Negro teachers are maintaining a larger average of attendance in summer schools than white teachers, and they are more energetic in extension work. This attitude certainly would be calculated to increase the salaries of colored teachers. Miss Carney's lecture was an educational and spiritual uplift.

Her four conclusions, given at the end of the program, are that (1) the ability and progress of the African are far greater than is commonly understood, due primarily to deceptive propaganda, (2) Africa was a chief cause of the World War and is a source of future unrest because of international and racial complications, (3) there is great unrest and unhappiness among the natives because of the depreciations of white foreign powers (England was here pictured as beyond all contrast with any foreign power in Africa—including France—in the friendly development of the native toward the goal of self-government) and (4) the African people, both black and non-black, are looking to America for help. Consequently, Miss Carney urges that America solve her own race question first.

HOLDS UP ACTION AGAINST ALLEGED MOB MEMBERS HOLDS UP ACTION AGAINST ALLEGED MOB MEMBERS (Preston News Service) Columbia, S. C., Dec. 9—No definite legal action will be taken against the suspected members of the mob that lynched and murdered the three Lowmans, on October 8, last, until the regular term of the court meets the latter part of January, Governor McLeod indicated Thursday following a conference with Attorney General Daniels and Solicitor Carter of the circuit including Aiken. The solicitor that Governor McLeod is attempting to dodge the issue by procrastinating the investigation as long as possible as his term of office will expire January 23 and the further work on the horrible crime will then fall into the hands of another administration. It is thought that in this way McLeod will save his hide from the carping vengeance of the blood thirsty citizens of South Carolina and pass the buck on the next administration which will probably allow the officer to find sufficient grounds on which to proceed with the prosecution of the suspected killers. It is claimed that the entire state is dominated with men of Senator Cole Blease calibre and thus there is no chance for a Negro to get a semblance of justice in the state. In control, South Carolina is said to be a seating pot of political intrigue. Few men, at this time dare broke the will and wishes of Blease and his cohorts. The good white citizens of the state have long since discarded politics and have become the thing is dominated by crooked politics in the state. Many brave and upstanding editors, ministers and lawyers of the state are loud in their denunciation of the present administration as well as the incoming one. They declare that these are officials of the state and that they are Blessed his gang of political shysters and the state will suffer disgrace as long as such men are in political power. It is hoped by many that this Lowman incident will serve to arouse the conscience of the voters of the state and cause them to take a new interest in politics and strive to stop from the state's toll down to the local justices of the peace. A northern observer, who is spending some time in the state, says that many whites of the state inform him that they have doubts as to the ability of the people ridding the state of such political monsters and Blease. Some say that the state has been in the throes of such men as the days of Havee and Calhoun. Others are hopeful of a general cleanup within the course of the next few years and look upon the Lowman incident and the unfavorable reputation it has given the state by the wide publicity it has caused. AHOSKIE, N. C. Ahokie, N. C.—Mr. James Session, *Miss Virginia H. Mitchell, Miss Traile Brown, Miss Mary Jenkins and Miss Evelyn Mitchell spent Thanksgiving Day in Rich Square visiting Mr. Emmett R.

Parura Corporation: I want to let my friends know what Peruna has done for me. When I first started taking Parura, I was in the United States Mall Service and I can see yet those thousands of orders for Peruna which we delivered at Columbus, Ohio. I am now on the retired list and panslosed by the government for my 26 years of service. Ten years ago I was severely afflicted by catarh of the head and in a rundown condition. Started taking Peruma and after just a few dollars spent my catarh was gone and I gained in weight and felt like a new person. Peruma sure did wonders for me. Just three weeks ago I started taking Peruma, now in my second bottle. I am taking it for catarh of the bladder and it is doing the work for me in this alfiment. As a tonic it can't be beaten and I truthfully recommend it to all my friends, because the way Peruma has treated me, I feel that it should be in every home and taken as a tonic, even if a person is not sick. As a remedy for catarh, I feel like there is no equiv to it and when you say it is "The World's Greatest Tonic" you sure said the truth. (Signed) Edward H.

HOUSANDS U-NA ORDERS S. Mail Service what Pe-ru-na is a fixture, and c light, could hardly be spared EDWARD H. MASON Nothing Robs One's Strength Like Catarrh Any man or woman who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-night universal; almost onlmpresent. Peruna is an absolute safeguard. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to stop them, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Peruna not only relieves catarrh, but prevents it. Catarrhal affections may be acute or chronic, mild or severe, ephemeral or stubborn, lasting or fleeting, painful or trivial, but they all have one origin, one beginning, one nature—Catarrh. They all have one remedy—Peruna. There is no fact of medical science better established than that a teaspoonful of Peruna before each meal during the winter season will absolutely protect a person from catching colds. Now if this be true and the testimony of thousands means anything, tens of thousands of cases of chronic catarrh would be prevented. If people would take this shiny precaution within the reach No woman suffering from cataract can be beautiful. The effect of this ravaging disease produces red, watery eyes, swollen and sore nose. You can be beautiful the body must be kept clean internally as well as externally. No matter what derangement you are suffering with, you'll find that it is cataract in some form.

The Danger of Hasty Trials Recent developments in the case of Wilson, who was arrested, indicted, convicted and sentenced to death upon cumstantial evidence for the murder of Ella Heath, an aged white woman of folk county, within two weeks after Recent developments in the case of John Wilson, who was arrested, indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to death upon circumstantial evidence for the murder of Mrs. Ella Heath, an aged white woman of Norfolk county, within two weeks after the finding of her lifeless body, illustrate the danger of miscarriage of justice that attends hasty trials and certain convictions had on the crest of inflamed public opinion. The murder of Mrs. Heath was as revolting and shocking as any crime in the annals of Norfolk county criminal history. Mob hysteria was an immediate result. Wilson was arrested as a suspect in connection with the crime. A net of circumstantial evidence was hastily woven around his neck. A special grand jury indicted him, and at a special term of the county court he was convicted in a few hours and sentenced to death, all of these events following with speed and certainty one upon another in breath-taking fashion. There was no time for cool, deliberate and painstaking investigation. There had been rumors of a lynching following Wilson's arrest and he was removed to Norfolk City jail for safekeeping, while the machinery of the law was speeded up to allay mob hysteria. While Wilson languished in his cell awaiting the day of his execution, another man was arrested, indicted, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the same crime. One of the State's witnesses in this case, who also had been the star witness against Wilson, in her testimony confessed that she had perjured herself in testifying against Wilson because she was afraid that the truth might implicate her own son. Her whole story, which brought about the conviction and death sentence, she now admits was a fabrication. And it turns out that Wilson may not have had any connection with the murder. The commonwealth's attorney is preparing to ask for a second reprieve for the condemned man, whose execution is set for December 17, to allow the State further time to investigate his case. It is horrible to contemplate what might have taken place in Wilson's case had it not been handled by authorities of courage and conscience like Commonwealth's Attorney A. B. Carney, the County Sheriff and Judge Coleman. As revolting and shocking as was the murder of Mrs. Heath these officers are not so anxious that the crime be expiated as to be willing to sacrifice innocent blood for it. They have held up the execution of Wilson for fear that a grave and irremediable mistake might be made. They are to be commended for their action, for it shows a willingness to admit possible error, and doubtless should they be finally convinced of having made a mistake they will just as frankly correct it and free the man entirely rather than make any attempt to compro mise justice by a penitentiary.

Unlawful Law Enforcement It is interesting to observe the reaction of the Police Department heads to the action of Police Justice Spindle in finding Motorcycle Officer P. A. Lantz and Officer B. F. Kelly guilty of unlawful shooting in the public streets and assessing a fine of $25,000 each against them, following a hearing on bench warrants issued at the instance of the Court, after it had been brought out in connection with a speeding case in which these officers were the complaining witnesses that they fired several shots at the fleeing machine while giving chase in another automobile. In setting the amount of the fine, the Court not only emphasized the fact that it is unlawful for a policeman to use his firearms in effecting an arrest in a misdemeanor case except in defense of his own life, but called attention to a matter which has been noted for some time with much apprehension by a large number of citizens other than himself, and that is the system affecting the Norfolk Police Department which seems to make for free and indiscriminate use of firearms. Just a few days prior to the Lantz-Kelly incident the Police Department heads, evidently taking cognizance of the growing tendency of police officers to use their guns, promulgated, according to press reports, a general order to the men of the force regarding the use of their shooting weapons. That order, as published in the new papers since the Lantz-Kelly case, appears to be as reasonable and as sound as any regulations on the subject could possibly be. It defines the purpose of a policeman's gun with sanity and clarity sufficient to leave no doubt in any officer's mind as to the proper use of this weapon, yet, the order properly leaves enough to the discretion of any man on the force with mentality sufficiently quickened to be a policeman for him to take care of himself as the situations confront him, and at the same time acquit himself with honor to the department. That order would indicate that the Police Department heads are in accord with the Police Court as to the proper use of firearms by policemen, but the letter of Col. C. B. Borland, director of public safety, exonerating officers Lantz and Kelly immediately following their convictions in Police Court on charges of unlawful use of their pistols is not easily reconciled with the policy of the department expressed in that general order on policemen and firearms. In exonerating the men Col. Borland, took the view that though they may have erred in judgment, there was some justification for their action. What Col. Borland felt to be "some justification", of course Justice Spindle did not feel to be sufficient evidence of self-defense. Granted that officers Lantz and Kelly simply erred in judgment as their superior has intimated, and grant that their previous service records are excellent which is not disputed, and even give them credit for having used a degree of discretion in shooting at the car only at close range and them taking aim at the rear tires, the intimation that there was some justification in their trebling the original public hazard of a speeding automobile by adding to it a pursuing speeding car and flying bullets is untenable. Then too, as Justice Spindle intimated, this practice of quick draw and quick fire by policemen is fraught with so many dangers that it seems that police heads would be reluctant ever to uphold instances of it that have the appearances of having been more or less the result of snap judgment on the part of officers. The action of the department heads in this case recalls a particularly aggravated instance of a few months ago when a citizen claimed unlawful arrest by three police officers on an alleged offence which could have been nothing more than a misdemeanor. When arraigned in Police Court the charges against him were promptly dismissed. He sought damages in the civil court and was sustained in his contention of unlawful arrest by the awarding of a verdict in his favor against the three policemen. It was testified in this case, an alleged misdemeanor, that the officers fired several shots in the public streets in effecting the arrest, which proved to have been unlawfully made, yet these policemen were supported and backed by the department with the entire city legal department and a special attorney employed for their defense at the expense of the city. This was a case of flagrant misuse of firearms by policemen that could not even be excused on the ground of error of judgment; a grossly unlawful arrest by them, all of which evidently bore the sanction of the department heads. The duties of a policeman are exacting. He is confronted with all sorts of situations and emergencies which require quick thinking and quick acting, but unlawful law enforcement cannot be counterenforced without inviting disrespect for the agencies of enforcement as well as actually increasing their hazard. The best allies of a successful policeman are the law-abiding citizens on his beat. They will readily assist him in ferring out crime when he has the reputation of making arrests in a manly and lawful fashion, but nobody is going to take a chance on becoming party to a killing by giving information to a quick-gun policeman. Furthermore, unlawful law enforcement has the menacing effect of encouraging retaliation by the criminally inclined and alienating from the forces of the law the sympathy of even the law-abiding citizens. Norfolk Journal and Guide THE GUIDE POST BY RICHARD H. BOWLING Inquisitive Eyes It was amusing indeed to watch this white man. He was looking with such inquisitive eyes. His very eyes were saying, Has this woman the right to be seated on this side of the boat? Can't she colored? But, there are these fair children, and that fair woman friend with whom she is conversing. Moreover, she can't be a nurse; she has too many of the earmarks of culture. And what's that?

But, there are these fair children, and that a fair woman friend with whom she is conversing. Moreover, she can't be a nurse; she has too many of the carmarks of culture. And what's that? The children actually call her mother! The woman herself seemed to feel she was being scrutinized. Now and then she would look around at this self-appointed inquisitor, as if to say, What do you want? What business have you to intrude thus upon a woman without male escort? And as quickly his searching eyes would shift, as though he had been looking above her head and away across the stretch of waters through which the fast steamer was ploughing. I knew what he was doing. No, he was not trying to flirt or to pick up an acquaintance. For ever and anon her cold gaze would meet his before he had chance to turn his head or lift his chin. And he was immediately chagrined and nonplussed. This white man had succumbed to the contagion of the Nordic complex and so was worried to see a woman who might be colored sitting among white people and acting like one of them. Poor bug! Couldn't he tell from the conversation that this woman had been at the beach all summer and simply had a coat of seaside tan? And that was the secret and all of it. Though there are thousands of colored persons who could "pass," I would have wagered almost anything that there was no bit of Negro admixture in this woman's veins. Moral? Only this: Isn't it a pity that, in a great land of liberty like ours is supposed to be, a cultured white woman in Virginia can't even spend a few months seabathing at her private cottage without being suspected and therefore scrutinized as malatto slaves used to be on the auction block?

Spirit of The Press Inspiration From the Newport News Star To put all of the emphasis on the value of an education is a mistake, in so far as education without inspiration is valueless. Only when you include inspiration as an element of education, or one of its by-products, can you rate education above all other advantages. There are educated men, well-read men, and intelligent men who are of little value to themselves or society, because they have not that divine spark of inspiration which puts education to work, and without which education cannot work.

Negro Welfare Drive Starts With Proper Racial Impetus From the Raleigh Evening Times The Raleigh Negro Welfare Drive, to continue during the week, is notable because of the degree of responsibility for its success which is being assumed by members of the race and their organizations. It is to be assumed, of course, that the white people will help. Their aid is necessary, but the colored people themselves are displaying in this matter of special charity and provision for social betterment a spirit of self-help and initiative that cannot be too highly commended.

These conditions Good conditions of living and of morals among Negroes in a community in which the contacts between the races are those of an intimate service are of first importance to the civic life as a whole. These conditions of safety must have, however, the impetus of a realization of their need from within the collective mind of the members of the race themselves. This, we are glad to note, is well evidenced in the present case. Beauty secret: It takes a little nerve to use rouge but the men will like your cheek.

A Poem A Week BE A MAN Do not think life is empty, And do not live in a fake. And do not throw away the victory. When the battle's yours to take, Be a man. Do not feel that you are smaller Than the average normal man, And begin to be discouraged Just because you missed your plan, Be a man. Do not stop to count the failures That the other fellows made, And decide that you are drifting On that self-made kind of lake. Be a man. Do not fear mere disappointments That you are someone in life And to whom they never come, Never wins a worthy fight, Be a man. Think not of your chances shallow Nor the struggles that it takes, If you have the will to make it, Glory yet, is not too late, Be a man. EDGAR D. HARRELL "NEGRO ILLEGITIMACY IN NEW YORK CITY" by Ruth Reed. Published by The Columbia University Press, 296 Broadway, New York City. Price $2.25. I like occasionally to call the attention of readers of Book Chat to some college thesis upon a phase of the Negro question. While these are small contributions to the sum of human knowledge on our much discussed question, they do bring knowledge rather than discussion. A point greatly in their favor? Ruth Reed has studied five hundred cases of Negro mothers in New York who have given birth to illegitimate children. She has taken her cases from the records of philanthropic agencies. They represent, she tells us, Negroes of the lower economic group, and we must be cautious in extending our conclusions beyond Negro women of this group and of the city studied. Quite early in the book we learn that illegitimacy cannot be explained in terms of race. "Rates among the Negroes." Miss Reed tells us, "are invariably higher than the corresponding rates for whites in the same communities, yet their rate varies with the rate for the whites and can be explained in terms of historical conditions and present social surroundings without reference to the factor of race." Climate likewise cannot explain illegitimacy. One can, however, note that "The unmarried mother group known to private and public social agencies appears to be made up of women from the lower economic groups whose educational and occupational opportunities have been exceedingly limited. A disproportionate number of dull and feeble-minded women are found in the group. A large proportion come from homes where relationships between parents were abnormal or where one or both parents were missing." Taking up the definite five hundred Negro cases studied Miss Reed, after a careful survey of conditions and after describing for us in detail fourteen particular cases, draws a few conclusions: 1. Two-thirds have come from an environment differing widely from that in which they were reared. Of this two-thirds, one-third were foreign born, chiefly West Indians. 2. Seventy-six per cent were under twenty-five years of age. 3. The percentage of illiteracy was double that of the percentage for the Negro throughout the city. 4. Eighty-five per cent had been engaged in domestic service. The per cent for the Negro wage earner in the city was seventy-one. 5. In two-thirds of the cases the child was kept by the mother at home or with her relatives while she went out to work. Miss Reed tells us that we cannot compare Negro illegitimacy with white illegitimacy because we have not the comparative data. And with this wise conclusion she finishes her book. —MARY WHITE OVINGTON Health Notes Occasional Bulletin (No. 1) issued by the Department of Public Health, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Algernon B. Jackson, D. M. Director A Record Breaker Washington, D. C., Dec. 4, 1926—Each week the Department of Commerce publishes the census mortality reports from the largest cities of the United States and sends a copy to all the newspapers, certain institutions, colleges and various social agencies. Let us quote from the opening statement which always accompanies this report. "There are given for each city, the total number of deaths reported (still births excluded) the death rate, the number of deaths under one year of age and Saturday, December 11, 1926 I frequently receive communications concerning my weekly re- receive community my weekly releases and am always glad to give them all possible consideration. Professor T. D. Powerly, of the Virginia State College, Petrosburg, Va., writes as follows: "We have a group of teachers here studying leases and am always glad to give them all possible consideration. Professor T. D. Powerly, of the Virginia State College, Petersburg, Va., writes as follows: "We have a group of teachers here studying modern civilization. We have been greatly interested in your articles. Will you be willing to answer the following questions in any way you see fit?— Is the world getting better or worse? What definite thing or things should the Negro do to increase his strength as a race? The scope of these questions is almost as wide as the universe. The attempted answer will be almost as wide as the interrogatives. If we take the world at large we are forced to the definite conclusion that it has been growing steadily better ever since man began his upward way from the valley level of animal existence. It is a far cry from the primitive law—"an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" and the ultimate ideal: "Love thine enemy; do good to that hate you," and yet mankind has been plodding its wary way from the law of enmity to the law of amity. The human race is still far from the goal, but is surely on the way. It is a long, way from the Christ ideal—"if thine enemy strike the one on one cheek turn unto the other also" but civilization is to be gauged by its approximation to this ideal. The world war has taught us the folly of force. Hatred is the most uneconomical thing in the world. The world learns but slowly. The ladder reaching from earth to heaven slants slowly upwards. Love is the one standard in terms of which all progress must be measured. Bitter as are the hatreds of the world today, they are as nothing as compared to those of the bygone darker ages. The hatred of race for race, nation for nation, religion for religion and individuals for each other is fading away as the centuries come and go. So far have we advanced on the upward grade. We are perhaps now passing through the final stage in the adjustment of the various races and nations of mankind which constitute the human family. The the infant mortality rate based on deaths under one year for the week and estimated births for the previous calendar year."____ "As weekly figures always fluctuate widely, as some cities are hospital centers for large areas outside of the city limits, and as Negro death rates are usually high, caution must be used in the interpretation of the data presented. However bearing in mind the limitations mentioned, these totals and rates permit valuable comparisons and serve as a ready health index for health officers and others." Now, we are wondering how many Negroes who occupies places of certain and uncertain leadership know or care how adversely our government is advertising our high death rate all over our land every week in the year. Furthermore, we wonder how many of our leaders catch the full significance of having our high death rate broadcast over the land as a menace which affects the health standards and records of the nation. In many ways being a record breaker is a fine accomplishment, but in this specific instance the shattering of statistics and records is a sad reflection upon both our race and our nation. We are also wondering how many of our race leaders are facing these facts and recognizing that no people handicapped by this abnormal high death rate with its consequent economic and social loss, can ever win a prominent and undisputed place in national affairs. The high sick and death rates among Negroes can be reduced to the level of that maintained by the whites, if we can in some way persuade our leaders to think, teach and preach health as the one and most important foundation upon which a people can and must build if they expect to ever reach the standards set by modern civilization. We are believing that no one will disagree regarding the importance of health getting, and if we can and will all hammer away toward this accomplishment for just one year, I am sure we can remove from the weekly report of the Department of Commerce the embarrassing advertisement our high death rate has brought us. whole world has been brought in to the arena. There are no more lands to be discovered; there are no untouched people and regions to be explored. The modern Alexander might well weep because there are no more worlds to conquer. We now see upon the stage of action the entire human race. All of the different forms of estrogment are now in operation. The struggle for adjustment is world wide. If we are sorely disappointed because the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man is not a universal reality, it is because we view mankind as a whole with the entire complex of human greed, hate and passion. To bring about ideal relations among the diverse and complex elements of the modern world is the problem of the ages. If Christianity seems to fail, it is because of the magnitude of the task to which it is applied. It is comparatively easy to promote love and neighborliness in a homogeneous society, but to bring about peace and good will among Europeans, Asiatics, Africans and red Indians, to harmonize Christianity, Mohammedan, Buddhism and the barbarian, to unify the cultures of the various races and nations constitutes a task that might well require many thousand of years to effectuate. At times and places, and under different circumstances and in many instances, it may seem that things are growing worse. There are back eddies in the onward stream of progress. When objects are far away, the angle of parallel is small. We need not look for any great evidence of moral progress in a day or in a generation. The individual in his day can no more mark the moral advancement of mankind than he can note the procession of the equinox. The process is imperceptibly slow. Our little problems which puzzle and vex us are but evanescent phases of the great upward movement on the sloping stairway up to God. ```markdown ``` We are not yet half way between the old man Adam and the new man Christ. The human race will have to struggle upward for as many ages as it has already existed before it may expect to attain unto the great consummation. Yes, the world is growing better; but we must be patient with God and his slow working plan of evolution towards human perfectibility. "What definite thing or things should the Negro do to increase his strength as a race?" I would say, let him find his place and fit into it. Let him study the great cosmic forces governing the world of which he forms a part and find out how he is related to these forces. A handful of Africans, cut off from the land of their fathers, cast into the midst of the most titanic arena of human experience. He lives and thrives and multiplies Now he has swollen to ten millions. Is he as a race to have any part in the great movements towards the permanent adjustment and mankind? The Negro must first determine whether he is to consider himself as ten million separate individuals or whether he forms a unit in the human equation which has its own specific function. Upon this decision hinges the determination of our action. We are now held together by the power of outside compulsion rather than from internal cohesion. If it were not for the compulsory power of race preduce there would be little uniting force. Let us for the moment suppose that all outward compulsion were removed. Suppose that the race had all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of other American citizens. Would we then be merely so many isolated individuals each seeking his own advantage, without any relation to the great cosmic movements which shape the destiny of men and nations? Suppose that there were no separate schools, jim crow cars, segregation, disfranchisement or anti-miscegenation laws, what he would be the status of the Negro problem. Would it then be considered solved or would it be put on the road to solution? If the Jew had all of the rights and propratives of the gentle, he would then but begin to function properly as a Jew. If the Negro were a full fledged American in the one hundred per cent of the term, would that be all? If so all of the suffering and tribulation of the vace for the past three centuries have been in vain. If it merely amounts to the addition of ten million more citizens to the American body politic, it were a great waste of effort. The result might have been more effectively accomplished by letting in a few million more white immigrants. But By KELLY MILLER if providence had a deeper purpose in bringing Africa to America, let us try to fathom that purpose and follow it to its high fulfilment. But I fear that I am becoming too vague and indefinite. You ask me as a concrete proposition: What should the Negro do? I take it that this question refers to the Negro of light and leading. The great common bulk of mankind merely feed and breed and die. It is only the few of higher leading that impress their influence upon the conduct of mankind. I would say that first of all the Negro should strive to awaken a race consciousness and give it the stubbornness and persistence to hold the group together and make it an efficient instrument in effecting its own destiny. He should strive to attain unto and to uphold the highest moral ideals. It seems to me that this is his peculiar mission in the world. His deep religious instincts constitute an incalculable advantage. Whatever the white man may do, let him follow virtue. In the language of Milton: "If virtue feeble were, heaven itself would stoop to her." He should not imitate the excrecences of the white man. The white man has made a God of Gold to which he bows down and worships with awe and reverence. Verily, verily, he has his reward. But mammon cannot not be the Negro's god, for the reason that the white man has monopolized him. Our fore fathers said in the depth of despair: "You may have all the world, give me Jesus." That saying was both prudent and profound. They could not get the world any way for the white man had it cornered. We had just as well imitate the wisdom of the fox; the grapes hang too high out of reach, we had just as well call them sour. The present day Negro should not be carried away with the deceitfulness of riches. He stands no human chance of securing competitive wealth as compared with the white race. One or two white men have as much wealth as ten million Negroes combined, and as much as they are likely to secure within the time with which we are now concerned. But covet the best gifts of faith, hope and charity where chances of attainment are no white lessened by the incident of race and color. It is in this wise that we will align ourselves with the law of moral progress besides which nothing else counts. The Colleges Need Money—But Behold The Alumni Society Notes from The Pittsburgh Courier on the Howard-Lincoln Game. Clothes,—ah! It was Fashion Heaven!
