PREJUDICE IS U.S. HAMPER IN HAITI Lack Of Confidence In Americans A Hindrance [Press Release Services] Newark, N. J. Dec. 17—After a study of a survey which she had made with five other persons, Miss Emily Balch, speaker last Thursday night at the weekly meeting of the People's Institute of Newark, expressed herself as not in favor of United States imperialism in its protectorate of Haiti. Miss Balch, former professor of economics at Weilers College, one time associate editor of the "Nation" and for three years worker at the League of Nations headquarters at Geneva, had been asked to speak on "Why Are We In Haiti?" Haitian Lack Confidence Haitian Lake Coast Miss Balch outlined the history of the country, described the social and economic conditions of its people and gave both sides of the question. There is value, she asserted, in the work done by the United States there in its control and in the keeping of order. But this value is overbalanced by other things such as racial prejudice and lack of trust in the population of the island is of two kinds. The mutat of French and Haitian blood, called the elite, are the city people and have what culture and society and the black peasant. The other, former there is less prejudiced contact with the French than with the Americans, people of the nation with whom Haitian expires in 1916. In Miss Blanch's own words, "No one has ever suggested that we stay there later." Navy Is Southern Miss Balch said that the United States navy is much more Southern in aspect than Northern, and since the U. S. Maritime relationship is not that equals to equals. On the other hand, the Haitians, while living in a land often troubled by a lack of independence in their own social distance within their own race. This attitude of the Haitian that he is the equal of other races, confronted with the attitude of the American that he is inferior, the black skirt and productive of hard work. Each resembles the other. Imperialism Adds to Suspicion And the United States Imperialism in Haiti also adds to the general suspicion of the world which regards all of South American Latines, the feeling that the United States seeking means of getting a hold on South America solely for her own The speaker said that there are ways in which we could help these people, to that which she considers important, entitled to the country, Catholic, and all of the priests we French, no seminaries being established to train Haitians for the priesthood. The system she said, with poor condition, and contact with France much closer than that with the country which occupies Haiti. Haitians wish to be trained than offered to their own country go France rather than to States. The United Most Agricultural Experiments Failed in all in all, the experiment has not been a success, from the social angle of the relations of the two people, nor economically, because most of the agricultural experiments have failed, the result said. The business societies are dominated by the U.S. States, and practically, no power is in the hands of the Haitians. she added. Journal and Guide Editor Speaks at University, N. C. P. B.

"Unless a vote is reached before March 4th when the Senate adjourns the bill will die automatically, and favorable opportunity to secure such action by this Congress will have expired but to take again in any future Congress. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance that every Senator, particularly in the Northern states, be petitioned by letters and arguments to work and vote for H. 8649 order to secure its immediate passage. "There were four hundred thousand colored soldiers in our army; there are twelve million of colored people in the country and everyone should be given the opportunity to be given to the soldiers of the colored race who made the supreme sacrifice. "The four regiments, 369th, 370th, 371st and 372nd which composed the 392nd Division, were the four regiments of the four regiments and their flags, decorated with the French Groix de Guerre. There is no dispute as to the herosism, gallantry and courage of the colored fighting soldiers of the 393rd Division, who approximately 10,000 soldiers in these four regiments 457 were killed and 3,468 were wounded, amounting to 40 per cent casualties. "All the colored people of America are asking that the justices of the Court of the Negro soldiers be done away with, and that a monument be erected in France which will be for all time an inspiration to patriotism and loyalty for all the colored people of America. "I hope that you will be able to inquire in themselves the responsibility of notifying the Senators by resolutions, letters and telegrams that the entire twelve million colored people of America request and demand that this bill be voted upon and passed upon by the Senate. The gallantry of these colored soldiers who were segregated by order of the War Department, be recognized and a monument be erected on the battlefields of France so that the people of America will know of the glorious record of these colored soldiers. "Trusting you will bend every effort to get the support and cooperation of all the colored newspapers, churches, fraternal organizations, and others, whose wishes known to the Senators of the United States."

Published in: Digit., Calumet Baking. Powder Cake. RULES FOR SUCCESS After he had gained the pinnacle of his success some one asked Andrew Carmigie to tell the secret of his wealth. His reply was as significant as it was short. He said: "Pay as you go, and keep books." Every successful business man or woman knows the fascination of making his income produce real value. One secret is keeping an accurate account of expenditures. Recent statistics show that from 20 to 45 per cent of the family income is smeant for food. In some instances it is even as high as half, and the housewife must be responsible for the buying. Many helpful budgets have been suggested in the magazines and papers during the past year, and constantly more and more requests for a simple budget are received in our food economics department each week. There are no hard and fast rules which may be laid down for home managers' account keeping. The individual must study her family's needs, make her plans, experiment with them for a brief time, until she has found a plan which will suit her ideals and standards—then carry it out. A woman who perseveres with her plan soon realizes she has gained the following advantages. 1. She sees whether she is keeping her expenses within a reasonable limit. 2. She has figures which are her evidence in case of a dispute. 3. She has a valuable means of comparing prices of food, clothing, furniture, etc. 4. She can tell just how long things last. 5. It encourages thrift and relieves her of the anxiety over making ends meet. RICE ONCE A WEEK Rice has taken the front row among economy foods for the United States. A United States government bulletin states that rice forms the principal food of one-half the population of the earth. Through our own South there are many famous rice dishes such as fruit puddings, cakes, croquettes, boiled rice, and flaked rice. Remembering the food value we suggest its use with sockeye salmon or with choice sardines. Splendid oysterile dishes are made with rice and cheese, or rice, fried bacon and a cup of potatoes. START now to have money for Christmas in Nineteen and twenty-seven. Come in this week and start one of Christmas Savings Accounts. These latter dishes will serve the main dish of a hearty meal. these latter dishes will serve a the main dish of a hearty meal. As it is a concentrated food, it is very nutritious, it is also easily digested. Analysis shows that; it competes most favorably with potatoes. Its principal food constituent is starch which turns to sugar in the mouth and supplies the body with heat and energy. There is also a small percentage of protein and a wee bit of rice. Rice flour is richer in fat than rice itself, the flour is made of the outer covering. A good food balance is maintained when rice is served with bacon or ham. In buying rice be sure to get an uncoated, or natural finish product. The only way you can be assured of this is to buy it in the package with the description on the label. Coated rice is barred sale in some states. It is an interior product that has been put through a special solution to whiten it. Wild red rice and lower grades are often given this treatment to produce the white appearance of high grade products that come out of the hullers with the natural brown inner coat soaked and easily removable by the polishing pads or brushes.

Surely we cannot overlook the children. They should be encouraged to read newspapers and magazines of an early ago, especially should they be taught to be greatly interested in those edited by members of their own race and should receive inspiration from their parents for similar great achievement. Especially do we invite the children of Virginia and North Carolina to become members of the Children's Club. Children of our sister are also welcome. We are awaiting the best letters and the best name suggested for the club by our little friends. Watch for our big opening column on Jan. 1, 1857. We are asking the parents and older friends to cooperate in this effort. It will help you as well as the children. It cost nothing to join. All names sent in will be published in our first January issue. Yours for a great club. AUNT BILLIE. Princess Anne The services at Mt. Bethel Church last Sunday were interesting to all attending.

Greensboro, N.C. — One of the most prominent players made at the Sixth meeting of the Colored Intralegate Athletic Association here when the association proved that hostility existed between the organization and Howard or Lincoln. of these schools were invited to be individual, to be individual, to the feasibility and to the feasibility of these institutions re-raining the C. I. A. A. and the bin lifted from the Pennsylvania school. Mr. Bard displayed her true colors, which further removes the hope of seeing this school resume her membership in the association. Lincoln asked her center and a support group for the Lincoln case to represent her, H. F. Grinnan, recommended that the school be allowed to resume her membership with privileges to play Howard, providing the Washington institution with the necessary conforms with that of the C. I. A. A. Lincoln promised that she would upon reacceptance into the association, require Howard to conform with the eligibility code, otherwise, there would be some substitution on the If Howard conforms, this will automatically lift the ban on the Bison and other schools in the association will be allowed to attend. How will make of this, remains to be born in the future. The tone of T. Owens's talk was, that Lincoln is in the association again and is determined to remain if this is true. How will be forced to take it or not that the annual Howard-Lincoln game. Lincoln Made the Goat. In regards to the Howard game, Lincoln has been made the goat, and it appears that the Lion delegation will not countenance this in the future. Howard being allowed to carry on as she has been, will always give her the advantage over Lincoln and the latter objects to this, most certainly, by playing professional football players, as some writers have been lying, is a bunch of hokum. The length of time a man has been playing football does not determine his master of professional status. Because he had more years of football than is prescribed by the colleges, does not grand that man as a professional player. The man is not a professional, but at thame time, there is of anything in it. In the absence of a professional advantage over schools that are in an association that takes all attempts to keep the game clean. As long as Howard is allowed to play men who have, already had four more years of football, Lincoln will always have a task trying to communicate basis with the Washington school. Prof. Grimm stated that such men s. Coles, Brown and several others ill not be allowed to play in future ward-Lincoln games. From this, Hewitt will have to come down from her city height, or there will be no more ward-Lincoln games. OHIO STATE HONOR SMITH WITH By P. B. Pernoud Young, Jr. Columbus, Ohio—A splendid athletic achievement obscured in the enclosed hysteria enveloping football, America's most popular heritage from the gladiatorial days of home—but perpendicularly secure, was the breaking down of color barriers by Stanley Smith, Ohio State University student, with a series of successes in Western hockey which have caused him to be awarded his major varsity "O." The announcement of the singles and signal honor bestowed upon this lad of color followed close upon his wobble, running in the annual Big Ten championship affair hold up at the University of Minnesota. The lad has been characterized as one of the most brilliant halls, dale, and oblique races in the annals of Western Conference meets. Opening the season against an Ohio Cincinnati Ohio Wesleyan, Smith and teammates carried notable victory, their most brilliant feat being perhaps their triumph over Illinois and Michigan on their triumph contest. And then in the final event of the full season, against the premier athletes of the Mid-West, and on a course wholly unlike any other, Smith took his home course, Smith brought his way over the 41-2 mile distance, finishing in the vanguard of the cherished points that brought Ohio runners to the final round. Alma Mater as runner-up in a wonderful race. Smith, beginning his career here in 1924 on the Freshman team, adds luster of his accomplishment to that of two other Negroes who have run for Ohio State, Ferguson and Trig. Talmadge Lund, spinner, George Cooper, middle fighter, and two sophomore runners who are in training for coming indoor meet and spring outdoor meets. Both, no doubt, will be heard from these, the half dozen Negroes on the present Freshman track team are rapidly rounding into the sort of corn that will earn them their numbers. But one thing is certain, and that is: when the weather permits and Ohio State's athletic heroes adorn their sweaters and letters, Stanley Smith's will be proof. Athletes, as in appending also color, are not the only things are equal does not indicate ability, or the lack of it.

Atlanta, Ga.—The Morris Brown Whirlwind opened the season, and maneuvered up the dope and crushed the Morhouse Tigers. It is the first victory ever enjoyed by the Whirlwind over the Tigers, but it was sweet victory, for the Tigers have won every biennial championship for years. "Whitewind" Johnson has molded together a quintet of fast passers and accurate shooters. "Red" Bradley and "Jazz" Wordsworth, Baby铅笔 and George. Baby铅笔 and "Knute" Richardson did wonderful passing and defense work. The Morehouse forwards could not break through the Morris Brown wall. McClairn subbling for Rich a r d s on showed up well.

THE TALLADEGA FIVE FACES ROUGH MENU Talladega, Ala.—Under the direction of Coach Drory the Talladega Cagers are winding up their second week of intensive training preparation for the next two weeks of intensive training has consisted of passing, shooting, and general defensive work. The material has been uncovered. IHT most promising men are Henry Williams, Joseph Robinson, and Kirkpatrick. With the promising men above together with Shorty McCormick, the Talladega Cooper, of last year's quintet, the Tornado basketball outlook is very good. Coach Drory is very optimistic when questioned about this team's ability to out perform the fact that men out for the team this year are of more experience than those of past years in the basketball history of Talladega College. Talladega is leading college of the south. Some schools Talladega will play are Atlanta University, Alabama State, Morehouse College, Morris Brown University, Chisholm College of engineering, S.

The Raimaker At The Attucks A human, animal orama, graphically developed, convincingly portrayed and intelligently displayed by the illusive William Collier je, supported by Ernest Torrence and a host of other movie notables. Film fans with a penchant for red-blooded entertainment will be more than delighted with the work of Gerald Bemount's Red Book Magazine serial, "Heavenent." The most successful delineator of Negro character roles on the screen is white man Tom Wilson. Wilson enjoys playing Negro characters and claims the only hardship it emails is keeping in the "trim"—he has to visit the barber three times a week to get the closest bob of any man. As "Chocolate," he is the Negro valet, attendant, trainer, slave and "buddy" of young Collier, who portrays the jockey hero of the picture. Thursday and Friday's special will be, Norma Shearer and Conrad Nagel in modern New York. It is a picture of a fascinating project, a gorgeous follow-up to "His Secretary," a picture Miss Shearer made a big hit in. The supporting cast is all an all-star one, composed of Lew Cody, Renée Adore and Sally Nell A. Metro Goldwyn-Mayer production. The "College Boob" Lotty Perry plays the role of a football hero in his new F. B. O. movie, "The College Boob," is one of the few film stars who can be truthfully said to live the part instead of merely acting. Flynn made a nation-wide reputation for Yale as a hard-working and in the new film, the only had to imagine himself back at New Haven to put a thoroughly realistic interpretation into his role. The resulting picture shows graphically the extraordinary athletic ability of the fame on the sidelines, and contains some of the most vivid football sequences ever filmed. This picture will be shown, Saturday only, on Friday. All ad hats will be with selected comedy. Fighting Bookers Fall Before N. A. C. 北日一村 第1000人 FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEY A.

FROM PRESS BY WILLEYA Some More Monkey Business A number of monkey business in football is like a pugilistic champion, who has the class, and style, and has an exeercised skill. On more than one occasion, many disaffected customers will be turned away. In order that there would not be a superfluous amount of the games in the gridiron game, the Stetson Committee made a special effort to the extra point after touchdown, which can be made now via a drop, placement kick, forward pass, or from semirunning. When a potent factor in deciding many issues, larger and small—results, many have become disgruntled. A great hullabaloo has been set up and a hues are for completion.

The guests arrived promptly and public music drifted from the alcars they were seated by cards. The menu was really a treasured treat.

A.; Bookers I e of Petersburg's Best on blocking kick: Epps, captain and quarterback, one of the Petersburg's best bets. Will be lost this year through graduation; Tynes, a good ing the value of a touchdown. Its main value is helping to break up the games and reaching a verdict. But this is a costly price where the final score and not the merit on the field is given the credit. Superior merit in almost every department can at least be wiped out by a final score that is completely unfair. How many agree to these statements? What satisfactory remedy can be offered? Where the defense of the opposing team is not strong enough to charge the attempted ammunition of the extra point, there is something radically wrong. The strength of the defense isn't strong enough for its checking the charge of the attacking team, but in that and breaking through, frustrating many other things attempted. The defense that can only block an assault can assume the role of a few kicks and attempted masses, is very off, indeed. Galaxy of Stars to Appear Against Y. M. D. Squad BY THOMAS W.

Battling doggedly in a sea of mud, the Fighting Bookers drank of the cup of defeat for the first time in two years, at the hands of any opponent, when they met the strong Norfolk Athletic Club at League Park last Friday. Sixty minutes of line bucking, forward passing and end running, shipping, skidding, the high school lad went down under a 6 to 0 score. The Bookers fought hard to stave off this defeat, but the red jersey N. A. C. would not be denied the victory. The team's capped by the soggy field that would give under the stabbing cleats of these mud smeared gridders. Several runs were starred that looked good for some important distance, but the team was not opposing tackle before being able to get up full steam ahead. Important Factors The weight and experience of the independents proved essential elements in their attack, and at all times they cashed in on this asset. The Bookseller most of the game, at the same time, collecting only two first downs for the total day's work, while N. A. C. chalked up seven, and having several chances to tally, both as the desperate charge, and as the kick on the back of Robinson. The Bookseller quarter got off several bad kicks that almost spilled disaster for the high school champions, against champions. Both teams showed great teamwork in these conditions, that carried them to the seasons honors in their respective classes. Norfolk Athletic Club scored in the third quarter after a brilliant run by Hill carried the ball within six yards, hammering netted the long tally, with Gordon carrying the pigsin over. The game was also featured by the stellar playing of Hill Bibbins and Whitbanks in the backfield, while the talented Johnson, Tyres and nottingham showed to best advantage for the Dooker and Boyd, Teamer. Hare and Tucker were the best bets in the lineup, but the intercepting forward passes hurled by Johnson in an attempt to score by the air attack. In the last stages of the game, Bibbins and Whitbanks another tally, but Norfolk A.

Mr. Gladney filled the pulpit and preached a short sermon, but it was to the point, and caused much meditation. The holy communion was administered at this service. The choir very touchingly rendered a program in the unveiling of the chair of Mrs. Ida Bottle, one of the choir members who died in September. The league met at the usual hour. The topic for discussion was "Character Building." The night service was devoted to testimonial meeting which is customary every first Sunday night. This service was inspiring. ST. PETER'S DISCIPLE CHURCH Glorious services were enjoyed all day last Sunday at our church. At the morning service Rev. Whitfield in a spiritual mood delivered an eloquent sermon from Acts 12:31 subject: "Favorable and Unfavorable Circumstances." The Sunday school was largely represented. Mr. Kinney was present and taught the Bible class in a masterly manner which showed his familiarity with the scripture. Rev. T. B. Royal of Belfhaven, N. G., delivered a masterly sermon at night which was enjoyed by all. [Image of a man in a suit and hat]. MR. JUNIUS MARTIN, Vice-President of the Supreme Social Club of Virginia.

F. SANTOS, Mgr. First Team Greensboro, N.C. The special committee appointed to select the 1928 all-star team and to pick the best individual player submitted the following report at the 16th annual meeting of the C. I. A. A. held at A. and T. College on December 10-11; and L. A. A. held at A. When comes to picking the 1926 All-Star team, the pickers and selectors are confronted with same thing in former years, and that is varie opinion. It is hardly necessary to mention this fact. Opinion varies, and that that. The final decision is always challenged. There has never been a season that someone did not get a close call, which goes to prove that on individual can hope to seize the position. The race has been a close on this season, and in some instances, it has been a matter of a toss-up to decide between any two. In this selection, everything is being considered, every qualification of the player or players. A man is not placed because he does some one thing better than the other fellow. Surely, a back who is fine or brilliant as a runner can hope to be placed above a back who runs, kicks, passes blocks and tackles, doing these things well. A man is not taken because he runs in one big game, not because he runs attack on one big opponent, not because the call became proved his worth as a star in one or five big games, and has stood up under some of the roughest camaraderie. The Ends This season has proved one of some mere ends in Davis, Hampton, Scott, Virginia Seminary, McGowan, of Lincoln, Gardner, of Union, Hester, A. and T. and Stade of Johnson county for unanimous choice. As a creative wingman, Hester lands the beach. Tie: Tackles Competition for tackles has been been than that of the ends. There has been good material, but much of the material has lacked that the pollutant thus is requisite for this important position. We have the Ruffins, of Hampton and Union; Polk, of Va. Seminary; Williamson, of St. Paul; Lee of Hampton; Tynes, of Va. Normal. The all round consistent team play of Lee and Polk makes them stand out head and shoulders above the rest of the lot, and they come around for unanimous choice. The Guards The fight among the guards was a close one, closer than most of the other positions. There was a wealth of guard material and it was all good. The offering was Anderson, of Union, Tucker, of Va. Seminary, of A. and B. and Johnson, of Hampton; Rob. of Hampton; J. Lane of A. and B.; Williams of St. Paul; and Blue, of Johnson C. Smith. But after the smoke had cleared away, there was aft Miller, of A. and T. and Anderson of Union. Centers The centers were few and far apart. None were flasy and brilliant, but most were cool and capable. The offence was: Tobin, of Union, in the midst of Hampstead and Boykins, of St. Paul. Tobin has proved a handy and able man in his proft position, but since men are getting the call for this season's showing alone, injuries have forced the union candidate to step aside for me, who has proved consistent throughout the season. Monday, closely pushed by the A. and T. and Boykins of St. Paul. Backs This season has been another season: it many good backs, and the fight for tether positions waxed fast and fouled and what have you? The field was filled with Shields, of Union Militants, of Hampton: Coleman, of A. and T. Moore and Brown, of Va Seminary; Byrd, of St. Paul; Baker. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Scorpni Team At Hampton, and Lane of A. and T. This is the best array of backs in the firing, and their play was of an exceptional brand; but there were those who came to the foreground with a great deal to spare, and Williams of Hampton and Coleman of A. and T. Set the halfback assignments, while brown of Seminary takes off the full-back honors. Quarterbacks And this has been another tightramble. Since the work of the quarterbacks has almost entirely been merged with that of the other backs, it has been almost imperative that a candidate for this position be possessed of more than the ability to general, which in itself is a potent factor. Usually the backfield is referred to as the four backs and not three backfield men and a quarterback. In most cases it is true that it is the four backs, because this quartette is locked upon as being comprised of four men who carry the ball with almost equal ability. Since this is true, a quarterback is called the direct team play through calling signals. He is also expected to do some, if not as many things as the rest of the backs, such as running, kicking, passing, blocking and tackling. The candidates are Epps, of V. Normal; Breaux, of Union; Wheedler, of V. Seminary; and Anderson, of the Aguilles. But in the choice, the list has been narrowed down to the first two named. Both have proved the Guarriers, possessing rare ability in team generalship, but where one or two are very much so. It has been hard to choose between the two, but when it comes to all round play, which means to do one or two things so well that it borders on the scillating, but being able to do many things and doing those well, although Epps has proved a wonderful general and a wonderful runner and passer, he is adversely shadowed by Breaux, who not only is a worthy general and a fine runner, but is a wonderful passer and passer, both from placements and Corps, and the latter gets the cell. For the second team, the following men have been picked: Ends, Scott. tackles, Williamson, of St. Paul, and Tyne, of Va. Normal; guards, Tucker, of Seminary, and Robinson of Hampton; center, Patterson, of A. and T. quarterback, Epps; halfback, Shields, of Union and Moore, of Seminary; and foulback La. and A. and T. coming in for honorable mention are: Ends, Stieck, of Smith; Streeter, A. and T.; Pegram, Va. Normal; tackles, Jeffries, Seminary; Ruffin, Union; Pierce, St. Paul; Ruffin, Hampton; guards, Williams, St. Paul; Banks, Hampton; Blue, Smith; centers, Tohin, Union; Boykins, St. Paul; quarterbacks, Henderson, T. and T. backers, other backs, Ecker, Hampton, Wiggins, Va. Normal; Wilson, A. and T.; Thatcher, Hampton; Caviness, Smith; and Chembes, Shaw. Concerning the most valuable player to his team in the association there has been little or no difficulty in the choosing. Epps of Va. Normalowers above the rest of the lot and easily gets the assignment. He has been a potent supplying the Edwardsburg school has done. He has proved the backbone of the aggregation and the shining light of every campaign. Not that Virginia Normal was a one man team, but the work of Epps contributed largely to the victories garnered by the eleven and the many bold stands the team made in the face of very stiff and severe opposition.

Again eep impressiveness prevailed when Stanch, who is a reputed amateur matist, read Thanatopolis. He carved his voice slowly and fittingly for his occasion, while his depth brought his humbled silence as the immortal pealed off. Mr. Land delivered the ecology with slow of spiritual oratory. He dwelt deeply in relation to his father and the speech was to all intents and purposes a sermon fraught with much realism. The lodge, for the day was composed of the following officers: Lewis W. White, exalted ruler; Calvin McKinney, leading knight; George D. Moore, loyal knight; Alvin Dagner, securing knight; Garfield Eoll, secretary; Charles Newsome, inner guard; John Matthews, tiller; William M. Johnson, esquire, and W. T. Crowell, chaplain.

Cohn **Shilke** Lexington, KY. The Shilke, High School Bear Gate defeated the Winchester High School Shilkes in a post-season game here Friday afternoon by a score of 10-0. The game was played to decide a tie-match Thanksgiving. The first half of the game was rather less loss, neither also scoring. The Bearcats were several times within in striking distance of their opponents' goal, but the Shilkes always braced in time to prevent a tally. The second half found the Bearcats playing in a more determined manner. Winchester after receiving the pennant, the Bearcats pounced on the pennant going out of bounds on the Shilkes' 35 yard line. From here Dunbar made a steady march to Winchester's goal. A Huttsell bullet pass to Guy from Winchester's 10-yard line accounted for the first score of the game. The Bearcats scored 6 (03) in favor of the home team, the try for the point after touchdown falling. After the teams finished up for the key-lick-off Coach Mills sent in the second string backfield with exception of Guy. Winchester's pass was intercepted by Clark who made a sensational 20-yard dash. Guy made the most exciting play of the game when he slipped through tackle for a 55-yard advance, placing the ball on the Shells' 10-yard line. Guy on the next play bucked the line and carried the ball over for the third tally. E. Clark booked a pretty drop kick for an extra point. The game ended with Dunbar headed for another tally. Every Bearcat played a wonderful game. Virgil Worsham, Dunbar's diminutive quarterback, weighing only 105 pounds proved a real field general. Entering the game just five minutes after the touchdown, intercepted a forward pass and added considerable yardage for several end runs. Too much cannot be said in praise of coach L. B. Mills who has made perhaps the best organized football machine the school has ever had in history. The ethics of the chas room team is the same field. Holding to this principle has caused the team once or twice to lose scores. The church was again thronged Sunday morning. It being "Roll Call NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Day" about 300 of the 400 members of the church answered to their names. Quite a few out of town members sent letters and donations and quite a number of visitors who were present, and whose names were called out of compliment to them, responded as generously as the officers of the church. As the O.D. leader, he spoke on the theme, "God Our Father." It was indeed an inspiring and helpful message.

This distinguished pastor and his wife are held in high esteem by the white community. It was my good opportunity to talk with some of the white Ministers and business men of the city, and each one exerted himself in glowing terms of regret exceedingly his leaving Point. The entire church is in humbling and regrets losing these devoted characters. He took part in all religious movements for the treatment of his people, and stands boldly for high righteousness. His wife is beloved by all the people he has been a great help to her husband. She works in the church and also teaches in the school. Renovated The Church Mr. Jeffries has renovated the barn and parsonage, paid off all indulgence, and leaves this field in for some good man to fall in. Mr. Jeffries has made him to fall and move on to success. Mr. Jeffries is a man of broad opinion and a fundamental gospel teacher. His leaving the state is not loss to the ministry of Virgina.

Monumental Raises $1,601.21 In Sunday's Rally; Church Has Made A Remarkable Progress A remarkable record in church financing, membership building, spiritual awakening, church activities and general progress is the verdict that is being unanimous recorded to Rev. Dr. A. C. Clark, president of Memorial A. M. E. Church, and his officers and members by all who have been let in on the record this congregation has made in the past 19 years. It is evident that Virginia holds the record for the largest congregation with numbers no greater than those of Memorial church having achieved so much in so short a period, nor where the spirit of co-operation, loyalty and enthusiasm of the congregation and members to lofter heights than in any other down at the corner of Cumberland and Freemason street has ascended in accomplishments in an equal length of time. In a rally on last Saturday, the congregation, raised $1,601.11, $101 of which was cash on the table and the rest in bonafide pledges. 75.615.81 raised in rallies alone in nineteen months by a congregation of less than 400 members, an amount approximately equating that in public meetings, and in gathering the same period, a 40 per cent increase in membership, are heights to which any. church membership might wish to climb, but that is the case at a nutshell, at dawn at monumental beginning with March 15, 1925. On that day, Rev. Mr. Clark came to the city to assume charge of the church. He came here from Georgia, new in the city and new in the Virginia. He conference brotherhood that day and have been an eventful one in the church of the people he came here to lead. At that time the congregation, numbering around 180, or a former pastor had just moved from the church to John Brown Memorial in the upstown section at the corner of Church street and Princess Anne road, into the spacious and splendid brick and granite edifice they are now occupying, white congregation. But when they took over this magnificent structure, they also assumed a mighty financial obligation in proportion to their numbers. It was $40,000, enough to cover the cost of the cause of the Kingdom. And if the members of Monumental were disheartened when a few months after acquiring their fine building events began to shape themselves adversely toward the cause of the Kingdom, people had good to be for even the public looked upon their predilement with sympathy but seemed about to ready to go in mourning with them. Frankly, ren. who knew the conditions at Monumental, but were aware of the fact that the new pastor was not intimate with those conditions, who were inclined to the belief that this man and could take the kind of task. This writer remembermed on one occasion having remarked to Rev. Mr. Clark. Well, Dr. Clark, you have taken hold of a real proposition down at Monumental, haven't you and promptly came the day before to matter all right. And they are taking care of it in a commendable way, though the journey is still a long GPE REV. A. C. CLARK, D. D., pastor of Monumental A. M. E. Church. Child Conversion Desirable, Says Rev. J.H. Billups Delivers Interesting Paper On The Subject Before Ministers' Meeting "The conversion of the child is of the greatest importance, because it makes the child know what he really is, that he was created in the image of immortality," declared Rev J. H. Billips, pastor of Mount Lebanon Baptist Church, reading a paper on "Child Conversion" before the Baptist Ministerial Conference at First Calvary, bringing to the child a deep and an early realization of the fact" the speaker continued, "that he nor his ancestors came from monkeys or apes but from humans, and the age would infer, but that after God had created the heaven and the earth and all things therein. He said, "let us make man in our own image in the form of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul." Child's Responsibility Rev. Mr. Billups answered that the child is responsible to God while on earth and must render an account to "Maker of the deeds done here when his earthly career ends. The minister said that early children should be a safe-guard for him against inter evil influences, and the Bible says "remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw high, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them." Early conversion opened before the christian mind of sin. The inquisitive mind and tender heart of the child, hearing the words; "Our Father, who Art in Heaven," becomes anxious to know about that being in Heaven. And when it is explained that Jesus loved him and died for him, and that he must give him, the christian saved him, the child is then inclined to start and seek the Lord. Early Advantage "Early conversion gives the child a greater advantage, because not only does it mean the saving of a soul but even the saving of a life. Into the kingdom of God early, he has come to devise a plan of salvation, to bring salvation of the old may bring salvation to the soul, but the life already has been wasted in sin. "Hence when children come into the church we should support and sustain them by our prayers and let them know by our actions toward that we believe they are born of God." "Child conversion is biblical. Mark ye, the wise man said, train up a child in the way he should go, and teach him from it. Joseph was a very eminent example of early conversion. Because of his obedience to his parents, who endeavored to direct him in the ways of God, he was with him and sold him. He was entered into Egypt and sold by the Ismailites, but God was with him and delivered him of all his afflictions, and he was with him and sold the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and Pharaoh made him governor over Egypt and all his house. The effect of the early impress of God upon Joshua was to be steadfast against sin and temptation, when in his master's house, Potipher's wife tried to persuade him to sin, and Joseph exhalted how great wickedness and sin against God. "Again, the special love Jesus had for children. He healed the nobleman's son with a word and cast out an evil spirit from the young daughter of a woman. He came down from the Mount of Transgression to heat a kinetic boy. He raised from the dead the son of a widow at Nain, and brought to life the daughter of a man who believed that religion is the thing that connects man with God through Jesus Christ, who came to seek and to save that which was lost. It was Schillermacher the German philosopher, who said that religion on the altar of your heart. Teach the child that he must see, hear and know the Lord for himself, and that his 'must be always ready to give a reason of the world to you' by burying the children into the fod of the church we will build an impregnable monument for our King Emmanuel." Nearly as many weddings are held near Thanksgiving and Christmas times as in June, according to the results of a survey recently made to learn if the month of roses still held first place in the hearts of brides and bridegrooms.

How can you show how an indication increased the number of gods decreased until now all learned philosophers are agreed that there is but one source and that there cannot be but one source even though they are by no means the only source. The Christian idea of God was given as that given by Christ and the Apostle Paul in the text—"We believe in the Christian idea of God as the most reasonable explanation of the source, the being and the end of things. You believe only in your relation to Him if it also determines your relation to your fellowmen." Mr. Tate spoke briefly of the things for which the fraternity stood and in words of appreciation for the service and the message which had been received. 11:30 "Shepherds And Angels" Baptizing—Christmas Hymn—Sermon 7:30 Great Departed Spirits Service See The Dead—Hear The Sermon Mammoth Production "Last Reign Of King A Religious Drama Rend Mammoth Production of "Last Reign Of King Solomon" A Religious Drama Rendered by Mandonia Wright Jackson and Co.

EEMED nd Watches PAGE SEVEN SHOULD PHYSICIANS ADVERTISE? When the medical societies adopted their rule prohibiting advertising all advertising was charlatanry, and the adopted rule an excellent and ethical safeguard thrown around the profession. The science of medicine is daily evolving; it has made considerable progress in the last fifty years. A doctor who practised to-day as he did fifty years ago would be a has been, a back number, and his patients would quickly relegate him to oblivion. Yet the medical rule prohibiting advertising on the part of the profession takes no cognizance of the fact, that, while therapy has been in the process of rapid evolution, so, too, has the science of advertising. It is a far cry back to those days when advertising was simply a method of mulcting the masses. Five decades ago patent medicine barons saw in advertising only an excellent opportunity to disport the savory virtues of their nostrums in the public prints. Little if any thought was given to producing a preparation that would do the job for which it was intended; the capable copy writer, with persuasive phrases, had the power, multiplied through the press of convincing thousands that his quack remedy always cured. The gullible public believed—and bought Other charlatans advertised "steel engravings of George Washington for a dollar" and sent the unhappy buyer a two-cent stamp. Still others, more cunning and rascally, showed sets of living-room furniture 'exactly like illustration', priced at ridiculously low figures. They lived up to their word, in a measure, when they forwarded a toy set of furniture which, truly enough, was the exact height of the picture in the advertisement! Rings worn to cure rheumatism, electric belts, electric insoles for sore feet, bust developers and a thousand and one nostrums and quack devices were the early birds to take advantage of the opportunities afforded through advertising. The great merchants at first refused to advertise, except to mention the name of their store. A. T. Stewart's first advertisement read: "The public is invited to inspect some Irish linens at the store of A. T. Stewart." But advertising to day is not the advertising of fifty years ago. Doctors used to use leeches to draw the sickness out with the blood. Today the practice is not only condemned, but where would you go to buy the leeches? Advertising has kept pace with medicine in improving its standing and is now deserving of respect, but medicine refuses to recognize the advancement of advertising. Why? The ethical code of medicine prohibits it. Again, why? The question is: Has the doctor anything to sell that will do the buyer good? We think so. The physician sells health, the most valuable thing in the world, without which all other possessions become as ashes in the mouth or as sand in the boots. Health is the doctor's stock in trade. His therapy, his medicines, his instruments, his special systems, are but tools with which he carves out health for his patient; if he doesn't, it's the toboggan for him, pronto; all of which is right and proper, the world being unwilling to pay for something it does not get. Without advertising, the doctor sits in his office, awaiting the call of the person who has so outraged kind Nature that she has turned upon him, and with her sharp warning signals given him a dig in the middle consciousness to the effect that something is wrong. All too often this warning signal comes too late; or at least it is recognized too late by the lay person to whom Nature is a creature from a strange and far country. Out of a hundred and twenty millions of folks, the doctor gets as his patients the one million who are actually suffering from a disarrangement of a sort, and many of this million should have been treated ages ago, before Nature actually warned that something was wrong. Does the intelligent motorist wait until his motor is entirely out of oil before replenishing? He does, not. He has a gauge which signals him when the tank is being depleted and advertising, has taught him the dangers of neglect. Does the woman wait until her dress is in shreds and she is in danger of being hauled before the magistrate for "exposure and underdevelopment" before buying a new frock? She does not. She reads the advertisements and buys one—or several—new gowns before the present habiliments are frdwsy. At the moment there are ten millions persons in this country who should tomorrow have a physical examination; and of this number a million will be found to be suffering from some illness or derangement that has already made inroads upon their systems, but not yet to an extent where they themselves recognize it as serious enough to interest a doctor. How shall this million be told the truth. Through advertising! the truth, Through advertising! The trouble is that doctors, when they consider advertising, look up on it in a selfish way. "Certain physicians might gain the ascendancy through more brazen use of bigger type, once the ethical bars are let down." "That doctor who spent the most money would get the biggest practice," or the smallest practice depending upon your point of view and your faith in advertising. Advertising selfishly done seldom pays. To use the public press as a boasting ground, is a by-gone sport. No longer does the advertiser spend his good money cheer. fully lying about his wonderful service. Instead he tells the public something it ought to know. If he sells mayonnaise, he sells the public on eating more delicious sandwiches, publishes inviting recipes, shows pictures of pinnickers with vast protruding smiles upon their mayonnaise countenances—he sells the product of his product. If he sells pianos, he forgets pianos in his advertising, and sells the joy of listening to good music. If he makes automobile, he pictures the fun of getting lost in a strange country, of touring thru quaint villages and of flying up steep hills in comfort and safety. The thing itself which is advertised is incidental—the big idea is the product of the product. Each advertiser incidentally and wisely mentions that, after you have decided to eat more sandwiches, enjoy more music or do more touring, that his mayonnaise, his piano, or his automobile is the one for you to buy, and gives good and sundry reasons why this is true. But no advertiser can long exist who does not come through with the goods. The idea of honesty in connection with advertising is more or less recent. Today you must have that thing you advertise. If you do not deliver, count yourself among the missing. Does the doctor deliver health? Then why not advertise that fact—and prove it? Would not the mere assertion and proof lend a certain degree of comfort, certainly and assurance to a patient, suffering public, long surfeited with boastful claims from the raucous throats of quacks? The public wants to believe in the doctor. But when, as a result of too much modesty, he sits patiently by while bone-benders and belly-rollers tell their patients that drugs are a thing of the past; when he looks on in contempt at the advertising kiro, blinking, powerless and silent, what is the public to believe? The trouble is, some doctors are living in the past—they look upon advertising as a self-laudatory blast of an unethical tinn-horn, boasting of personal professional skill; and the idea of boasting of their accomplishments touches their gentlemanly sweet natures in the quick, or the funny-bone, as the case may be. Personal boasting is bad stuff. "Let others praise, and thou be silent." Admittedly and assuredly. No doctor wants to get into the class with the "advertising dentists" whose giant, gilded papier-mache bridge work hangs so perilously suspended in mid-air at busy street intersections. That is not advertising—that is but a remnant of quackery—a survivor of the dim, dark ages of charlatanry in advertising. To let the bars down to personal advertising signed by individual doctors would not only be an ethical error, but an economic mistake; for no one doctor could afford to spend enough money altruistically to tell his tale in print. And what he says of himself sounds flat in his own mouth, regardless of how sweet the same words might fall from the lips of a satisfied patient. But the doctors have an obligation to the public. It is the duty of physicians to inform the public on health matters. It is the duty and the privilege of doctors to keep the public in touch with the latest developments in treatments, especially on such things as cancer, epilepsy, mental disorders, tuberculosis, etc. Any doctor in this city knows how hard it is to keep up with the latest innovations, proved or otherwise. How much harder, then, it is for an uneducated laity to struggle abreast of the improvements made in modern medical science! And if the people believe the quacks, it is only because they tell their story to the public. Public opinion is still the great judge of all questions, and when the judge hears one side of a story, who blames the judge if his decision be erroneous. The doctors must tell their story to the public. And they will do it soon. Make no mistake about that. Suppose one hundred thousand of the best physicians in this country began to publish a series of messages in the newspapers. Sup- Spertr 146 GRANBY STR Diamond Watches Jewelry, Silver Our Complete Stock On Terms To Suit Your Convenience pose that these messages merely told the people what health consisted in; how to recognize certain symptoms; how to eat, stand, work, and breathe; what to do in case of physical injury; when to see a doctor. And suppose, also, that each message ended with a suggestion that only a reliable physician with an M. D., after his name should be relied upon. And that the reasons for the selection of the physician were thus and so; and prove the point. What would become of the quacks then? Advertising of the doctor's work, his accomplishments, his successes, and his value to the community, done CO-OPERATIVELY, smacks not at all of vain glorious, personal boasting and takes the smear of charlatanry off the message. And such messages would be helpful to the public. Paint manufacturers are altruistically telling the story of surface protection. Their slogan, "Save the Surface and You Save All," is known to millions, and incidentally, paint sales have jumped. But the messages first tell something of value and of interest to the reader—how to save his property from decay. It is an appeal that touches him in a vital spot—his pocketbook. And the appeal that the successful and ethical paint makers use is peculiarly analogous to the appeal that doctors might make; for which hits a person in the pocketbook hardest; neglecting his front porch or neglecting his body? The floor porch decayed from lack of surface protection, can be renewed, but the arteries hardened through lack of attention can never be replaced. There surely can be no argument on this point. If the Maker had put a plate glass front on the bellies of bellicose boozers, prohibition would have been here in 1850. You can see your shingle roof warp under the rays of the sun; and you buy the paint to prevent further damage—the paint advertising has sold you. But you cannot see what happens when you refuse to exercise, eat the wrong food or stretch your nerve capacity beyond endurance. Folks know more about carburators than cardiacs, a great deal more about spark plugs, than about spleens, and because this is so, the quacks working upon hidden organs, get away, with murder. The fliver manicurist cannot say the spark, plug needs attention when my own eyes tell me that it is perfect; but the bone-bender says the fifth vertebra needs a weekly thumping at five dollars per thump, and who can dispute him? Collective advertising by physicians can do much to educate the public. The marvelous story of the body and how it may be repaired should be told, and incidentally the doctor's practice will increase. Preventive medicine will come in a large way only when mass advertising of the right sort is used. And advertising is but a frame—the message is the picture. Doctors should look well to the message and forget the frame—it is only there to carry the canvas. There are as many kinds of advertising copy as there are pictures. Well done advertising can vouse the doctor from his present decadent position and lift him to the heights of popular esteem. To refrain from advertising much longer may build in a receptive public consciousness the idea that, after all, the quacks are right; the doctors do not deliver the goods. For if they do deliver, why do not they say so—and prove the point? Should doctors advertise cooperatively? Assuredly. Yes. Certainly; and we should say so. And quickly, too, are the cults and healers, the kiros, harponees and hullees get all the business.

ROAD Installation of Safety Devices Have Greatly Expanded During the Week Rosnoke, Va. December 13—With the completion of the installation between automatic train control between Rosnoke and Shenandoah this week, the Norfolk and Western Railway will have 238 miles of its high-speed train protected with automatic train control automatic signals according an announcement made at the general offices of the railway here today. The first train control installation of automatic train control between Rosnoke and Hingedown was completed and placed in operation in February. 1925. The second installation, from Shenandoah to Rosnoke—a distance of 192 miles, was completed in the following month according to those in charge of the work. These train control installations are made in accordance with orders issued by the Interstate Commencement to the larger, or Class I, railroads of the country on June 13, 1922, by all Class I railroads to equip the engine division with either an automatic stop or automatic control device and to complete the installation by January, 1926. In accordance with this order the railway selected the continuous speed control system the Signal Commerces for installation between Hagerstorfer and Shanandoah. Before to the time the Commission's first train control issue was issued, train movements on this district were handled by telegraphic block and train orders and in view of the fact that the Commission was responsible for the operation of the train control system would also be necessary for the operation of an automatic signal system. It was decided to equip this district with automatic train control equipment and was completed and put in service in February 1824. The train control installation was completed in February 1925, giving the Norfolk and Western 106 miles of single track equipped with both automatic train control equipment and this insulation was inspected and approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission shortly after its completion. On January 14, 1924, the Interstate Commission and order calling for the addition of train control apparatus on a second engine division. The line between Shenandoah and Roanoke was designed for this purpose and the start of operation in 1925. It will be completed put in service this week. While the first installation was made between Shenandah and downtown considerable development has been undertaken in the train control devices. Although the system as installed on this dissection is giving satisfactory results is practically the same as that between Shenandah and downtown, it has not been able to certain modifications. Improvements and refinements have been made which have materially simplified the train control apparatus. It is equipped, therefore, that even the latest installation with both train control and automatic in operation, either front- or head-on collisions are avoided in every possible way.

Race Hatred Played Up in Box Strike New York City, Dec. 16.—According to the strikers the bosses in the paper box makers' strike are using every means to keep alive the ancient hated between colored and colored workers. Every cab load of colored boys and girls which they gather in Harlem is told that the bosses would have hired colored workers long ago, only the white workers objected. It is not clear why people that the white workers have refused to work with them heretofore. In reply to this wall of the bosses one of the strike leaders says that some time ago the white workers were forced to work with the colored people that these girls went into the union. Some of these colored girls are new strike leaders in the present trouble. It is alleged that many of the strike breakers are using razors in their hands because they have been seriously hurt and several are said to have come into headquarters with their clothing slashed.

BROTHERHOOD OF PORTERS ISSUES BOOKLET OF AIMS Prepares Demands To Be Heard By U. S. Railway Mediation Board. Dec. 8—More Sleep! Wages not tips! Shorter hours! A real union! These are some of the demands of the Car Porters, the first Negro labor union in the United States, as set down in a pamphlet of information published recently by that organization. It was in August 1925, that a few porters, led by a Philip Randolph, formed the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. In the fifteen months of its existence, the Brotherhood has succeeded in organizing more than 5,000 porters, or the majority of the sleeping car porters in the United States. One of the first efforts of the Brotherhood was to gather authentic porters to fight to fight the Fulman Company before the Railway Meditation Board, the agency set up by Congress to aid the settling of Railway disputes. The agency was first issued, is based on this survey. Averages compiled from their questionaire showed that the monthly wage paid by the Pullman Company is only $78.11 a margin of loss that is about 10 percent of the $72.50. The very small increase of wages for length of service, ($10.00 in 15 years) and the high monthly basis by which overtime is computed (based on the $10.00 per porter to earn an amount much higher than the minimum wage, according to the Brotherhood. Porters travel 11,000 miles before they return to work, and pointed out that many porters on short runs have no chance to come up to this figure. That this is true is indicated by the fact that the company's mileage falls below the Company's overtime figure, being only 10.022. The question of tipping is considered carefully in estimating the actual income of the porter. Although the tip income to be large, it actually amounts to only $8.15 per month, the Labor Bureau found When occupation expenses are deferred, the porter's own uniform the first ten years of service, for shoe polish and for his own meals, his total income is $1,000. The Brotherhood makes a special plan for the abolishment of the system whereby a semi-charitable tip is made to take the place of honest tips. The Company that profits from the porter's toll. The pamphlet points out that $7,000,000 is paid by the public in tips, whereas the Pullman company charge bill amounts to only little more. The smashing of the company union, named the "Employee Representative," permits the primaries of the Brotherhood. Demands of the Brotherhood include a minimum wage of $150 a month; a month's service of 240 hours; a minimum mileage system now in force pay for the time spent in preparing cars and receiving and discharging passengers, now contributed free to the Company. Adjustment of the wage of the company now added to that of the porters; increases of sleep to 4 hours the first night out and 6 hours the second and third nights; and adjustment of the doubling-out and delayed arrivals pay for the porters, based on the basis of regular time. Copies of the pamphlet, containing information about the cause of the Pullman porters, is soon to be reviewed by the Chief Executive, be obtained by writing to the offices of the Brotherhood, at 2311-Seventh Ave., New York.

As a piece of art work of its kind the booklet is distinctive, the illustrations beginning with a portrait of the college, a tumble table, and tracing the development of Poro College from its humble beginning in a two-room home in Lovejoy, III, to its present magnificence in St. Louis with an influence reaching to all parts of the world. "Dignity, grace, beauty, industry, thrift, efficiency, the goodness—that these ideals be held aloft for the glorification of the women and girls race, Poro College is consecrated. "To those who have made possible our growth and development, we express our sincere appreciation, "says Ms. Malone, the founder of the illustrations are charming in every detail, the printed words represent the master craft of the printer's art, but after all it is the inspiring story of the world, hopefully that move one to wonderment, admiration and appreciation of the great race institution, Poro College, and its founder. "Your writer will quote from the booklet that brief and inspiring story: "The history of Poro College is but the tracing of the development of an idea of Mrs. Anne M. Turbo-Malone, the founder and directing genius the institution." "Mrs. Malone was born on a small farm near Metropolis, Illinois, one of her children, Robert and both belles Cooken and Bubba parents before she became of school age, and so it was under the care of her sister, a married woman, she attended and completed the public grade school of Metropolis. She went to a married sister in Poorla. It was in Poorla that she did not complete the high school course because of illness. Early Experience "When a small child she evinced unusual fondness for hair dressing and her sisters and their friends hung up in her hair—a play game which was to develop into a signified and profitable profession. On leaving the Peoria high school, still with that abbreviated career, with the return of health, to the study of chemistry for the scientific background which she realized was necessary to make her profession a result of this study and subsequent experimentation, she evolved a preparation to promote the growth of the hair which she called "Wonderful hair," the research other preparations followed. "In 1900, in the rear of a small frame building in the little town of Lovejoy, she began the manufacture of "Wonderful Hair Grower" and other hair preparations. The unpretentious business at a monthly rental of 35.00, contrasts strangely with the Poro College of today, but she regards the little frame building, which still stands, with a feeling of reverence. It is a coincidence that Mrs. Malone so interested in race horses that she set up her first business in Lovejoy. A Negro town, named for the great abolitions, Ellijah Lovejoy. Amazing Results "Her customers of Lovejoy experienced such amazing results through her treatments that the fame of her preparations and methods of treatment soon came across the river, where plums were under way for the great Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Sensing a greater demand for her preparations in a wider field and realizing that she was the Great World's Fair, she moved the business in 1902 to St. Louis, located at 2223 Market Street. She began by diligent house-to-house canvassing to advertise her preparations, enlisting customers by prevailing upon women to permit her to treat their hair and scalp. "The demand for her preparations grew rapidly. In 1904 she launched her first extensive advertising program, the South demonstrating her preparations and methods, and she had advertisements of her preparations printed in large newspapers and magazines to impetus to the business that fraudulent imitations under the same and similar names began, to appear. In 1908 in order to protect the business, she adopted and copyrighted the trade name "Poro," and it is by the name "Poro." these celebrated hair and skin preparations have since been known. About this time Mrs. Malone began to visualize a large and modernly equipped Poro College which would train many many ways her race. In 1910, as a step toward this goal, she removed the business from Market street address to more spacious quarters at the college, and friends feared the bigness of the venture and advised against it, but in the larger quarters she met with compensated returns by way of large business grants. Now she came from far away states. The business continued to grow, and her thoughts of a great institution began to crystallize. She purchased the site at Pendleton and Ferdinand avenues choosing this location because of its proximity to a number of public schools. She felt that in this location the institution would serve as an inspiration to the thousands of individuals from the neighborhood schools. The New Building Ground was broken for the Poro College Building in 1917, and the Poro College Building was occupied in November 1918. Shortly after Poro College Building was occupied KNOW THYSELF So said Socrates 3,000 years ago.

In 1929 the manufacture of Poro organizations for the skin was begun. The growth of the business has been steady and substantial. *Founded and conducted in a spirit of true Christianity and dedication.* Poro College, in Fresno, Poro College, extends her benefits—moral, physical and economic—throughout a large part of the world.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, December 15. The Liberian government has received here, has ratified the $100,000,000 rubber contract of the Harvey H. Firestone organization. The announcement has been made by officials of the Firestone Company, from the office at Akron, Ohio. The temporary agreement with the Liberian government the Firestone interests are granted a 99-year lease on 1,000,000 acres of land most suitable for crude rubber and upon 2,000 planted sixteen years ago and now in full production. This agreement was drawn up several years ago, but had not been put into operation because of the refusal of the Liberian congress to support the rubber contract. The agreement was consummated largely because of the efforts of Edwin Barclay, secretary of State for Liberia, and one of the most intelligent men in that country, persons interested in rubber industry, in Liberian legislators held up ratification, knowing the Firestone contract to be Barclay's work they feared that ratification would give the secretary of state too much power and influence in the country. The late minister to the country, Solomon Porter Hood, is given credit for influence used to see that the agreement was missed. He is said to have been interested in the Firestone interests in his work with the Liberian congress. Since his work, Hood has been recalled. Comment on the future status of Liberia with this huge mortgage on the land of the country is various. Some persons think that the acquisition of this money will mark the beginning of a new era of Liberian prosperity and others regard it as a big step in sacrificing the sovereignty of the country.

With the use of the brief form has grown a tendency to read it “Exmas," an unpardonable barbarism. So pronounced, the word 1s quite open to tho critielsins of it which clergymen have expressed in reply to a questionnaire. 5X however, as an abbreviation of Christ, has ‘history as old almost es Chriatienity. In cata comb inscriptions it stands for Christor, the frat letter belng chi. Besides this abbreviation tho ‘symbol of Christ In primitive Christian art was the fish, as a play upon the initial letters of tho Greek words for Jesus Christ, Gon of God, Saviour, which spelled ichthus, fish. The letter X, our equivalent of chi, meaning Christ, has the sanction of ancient usage unquestionably. ‘The dictionaries and encyclopedias include Xmas among the abbreviations of recognized standing, also Xn for Christian. ‘They do not stigmatize 1t as “colloquial” or vulgar. Still, there 1s @ feeling for words that impels most persons with a verbal consclence to spell Christ. ‘mas out in full, Christmas 1s a beautiful word; Xmes is not. On the score of good teste the appeai of the clergymen for the disuse of Xmas Js persuasive. Yet tho headiine seems a valld exception.

However,, this may be, we find thet these Items are of greatest special importance to the Negro mace, The President discloses no conviction on the moral quality of the Eighteenth Amendment, One @oes not learn from this disclosure whether he is wet or dry by private conviction. But he does declare in terms unmistakable for the enforce- ment of the amendment because It is the Jew. His position Is much bronder than the moral question in- volved in prohibition, It strikes at the very vitals of lawlessness, of which violation of the Elghteen- th Amendment fs but a single form in which Its brazen audacity asserts itself, ‘These are his words—"some peo- ple do not lke the (18th) amend- ment, some do not like other parts of the Constitution, some do not like any of it; but for any of our inhabitants to observe such perts of the Constitution as they ike, ‘while disregarding others, 18 @ doc- trine that would break’ down all protection of life and property and Gestroy the American system of or- dered government.” President Coolidge {s a men of ‘even temperament and cool spirit. Like Tennyson's linnet, he 1s vold of noble rage. One could wish that ‘Theodore Roosevelt might have ex- pressed the same sentiment with ‘nis dynamic personality ond ve- hement righteousness. ‘The Prest- dent Indulges in pollte form of speech when he says that this prac- ‘tlee would destroy ordered govern- ment, .The case calls for the Indic~ ative, not the subjunctive mood. ‘This widespread practice is destroy ing orderly government end is breaking down protection of ite ‘and property. Mississippi elects to sgnore the Fourteenth and Prteenth ‘Amendments, while adhering to the est of the Constitution. New York disregards the Eighteenth Amend- ment, but swears undevisting ol- legianco to the rest. They both equally undermine the foundation of government end bring our boasted institutions to nought. ‘America 1s the most lawless nation ‘among civilized pepoles. Tals na- tion flouts with impunity its own “fundsmentel law. ‘The President says that those entrusted with the enforcement of the law ought not to violate it. ‘This is a high aud holy sentiment, expressed with ver- monte Impotence. Mr. Coolidge is responsible to him. Sermonlaing is federal low. Every offce-holder 1s responsible to him. Sormonizing ie “nok enough. Roosovelt would have "sald that any office holder found violating the prohibition law would be summarily dismissed. The na- tion would have approved the drastic pronouncement.

W, HARRIS So far ax the race Is concerned, Dr. Kelly Miller sees nothing In President Coolldge’s message’ for Its special elation. Dr. Miller inks that if the references In the nessage to Prohibition were in the yature of sermon, the references vo the Negto were in the nature of a prayer, “Dut, says Dr. Miller,” When ali other modes of proce- Gure fail; the prayer may be the last resort.” ‘On the Jynching quéstion, “there Is no declarative intention of affr- mative purpose, but an appeal to consclence instead of Jaw. Tt may be that this Is the only form of Appeal that the American people Will Hear In thelr sti necked at- ude’ or aw enanee?" ys De Miller. the Wets beed it, They are bot undermining the foundation of free Institutions which they 50 fervent- ly avow to uphold. But above all, let the Negro heed tmese words, He 1s the chief suf- feror from violated law. He must uphold the Constitution in its in- tegrity. He ean not pick out the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend- ments and insist upon thelr co forcement, while flagrantly violating the Elghteenth Amendment to appesso his degraded appetite or to swell his evilly made fortune. ‘The consclence of the nation must be aroused upon the moral integ- rity of the law. Massachusetts can- not point the finger of scorn at Georgia, nor the Negro at the white man. We all fall too far short of respect and reverence for law. The Negro should give the nation a model lesson in obedience to the Eighteenth Amendment. ‘When the President engages to deal with the Negro question per se, he becomes more tenuous, less logical and less convincing. His reference Is entirely well meant and Kindly. The fact that he would step aside and mention the Negro im his annual message serves to bring the question before public attention. ‘The general tendency fs to let the issue pass by default. Tt 1s mo longer considered good form to mention the Negro Issue fn public discussion. On more then one occasion, Mr. Coolldge has condescended, if {t be a condescen- sion, to make Feference to this dis- agreeable tople. For this he is due our racial thanks. We have been so far degraded in the pubile equation, that the smallest favor is thankfully recelved. If the Pres Ident’s reference to prohibition was fa sermon, his mention of the Ne- gro was In the nature of @ prayer. But when all other modes of pro- cedure fail, the prayer may be the last resort. ‘The Amerlcen people are be- sought to treet the Negro kindly. ‘even fairly, The American people ought not to Iyneh the colored peo- ple for the Lord will not hold them gulitiess for lynching the helpless vieim. There is no indication of declarative Intention or affirmative purpose, but an appeal to con- selonce instead of the law. Tt may bbe that this Is the only form of sp~ peel that the American people will hear in thelr stiff necked attitude of iaw defiance. Will they heed @ prayer, though It comes from the President of the United States? “Our duty to ourselves under our claim that we ace an cnlightened Readers of the Jouroal and Gulde oy stig Te Shout ee ies opon oes rel eerie Se eslare, Letcr MoS Ss et and She pot ot Se sedis ee hore ee Bublitees do ssitteane sagpansbilty for the Wow Wabet apron Safest And Sanest Journal Baltor Journal and Guide, Sir; T wish to ofer the following criticism of your paper: After now fore then ten years of reading the Journal and Guide, and obdsoring ita corice to the community which it tmmectotely serves, and ts {n- uouce on publle opinion, in com- parison vith all the leading: Negro Rrewepapers of the country, it {9 my Candia opinion that it the eanest tna safeot leader of and molder of pubile opinion in the eld. of | Amerlenn Negro journalism.

T belleve that this is the first time in the history of the government that the Predl- dont of the United States has iden- fled himself with one element of the American people as contra-dis- tinguished from another.

But after all, lynen- {ng te not wholly a racial evil. Al- though the Negro for the time and {in certain localities bears the chiet brunt of the heinous practice, yet White man, and even white women hhave fallen victim of the mobbish wrath. Since the record has been Kept, not a single year has passed that has passed that has not re- corded white victims. As-many o5 f hundred white men have been lynched in a single yesr.

An effective law agatnst lynching would be of greater ne- tlonal advantage than all of the proposed legislation of the present session of Congress. But 1t must be nation wide in its purpose and purport. If Congress should pass an anul-lynching measure based on rece, {t could not be enforced. The President does not even suggest the enforcement of: the Fifteenth ‘Amendment, and if he did tt ould fall on deaf ears and dead hearts, because the Negro ts the sole bene+ ficiary.
