LAUTIER Washington, D. C.

G. Lowery, Democrat of Mississippi. Washington. D. C. Dec. 21—The Howard University items will probably be restored in the Interior Department appropriations bill in the Senate, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, was assured when he appeared before the subcommittee of the Senate appropriations committee which held hearings on the Interior Department appropriation bill last Friday. Senator Reed Smooth, Republican, of Utah, chairman of the subcommittee on education, said he heardings that what the Senate will do with the Howard University items "is just the same. We will not house strikes it all out, and we put it back in the bill." Dormitory Item In Doubt Doubt was expressed by Senator Smoot, however, concerning the item of $150,000 for the construction of a new school building. At the suggestion of Senator Kenneth McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, Dr. Johnson explained the reasons for the request for an appropriations for the construction of new women he said: "The reason why we have asked for that new dormitory is that we are unable to house more than one-fifth of the students we have describing over 800 young women coming to Howard University form 38 states in the Union, and we are able to house at least 100 students. They have to take rooms in the city, and both the price of the rooms and the quality of the rooms, especially the quality of the life with which they have to interact about the character, influence of the residence which the girls have." Housing Facilities Indicate Dr. Johnson told the subcommittee the 'present facilities provide housing for only 195 girls. The proposed building would house 100 women, 150 There are something over 200 young women, who live in the District of Columbia, attending Howard University, President Johnson told me about them, he said, because they live with their parents. More than 200 women students from outside of the District cannot be accommodated at the university, he stated. "We have a large number of those," he said, "but in 100 or more cases we very reluctantly agree to have them stop where they do stop, because we cannot give them the property," he said. "We are making extraordinary efforts to give them a good intellectual training, we are likely to lose the value of it by having their morality undermined." Howard university items, totaling 368,000, were stricken from the Interior Department appropriation bill December 15, upon points of order made by Representative B. G Loewy, Democrat, of Mississippi, the appropriation is not authorized by law.

The method of the public schools system may be parallelled by Scouting in its extension of its purpose. The boys in the white councils as there are white school boards, for the Negro scouts; white executives as there are white school superintendents, and colored scoutmasters as there are colored masters. Mr. Harris referred to Louisville, Ky., with 27 colored troops in which there are more than 500 boys to illustrate the value of Scouting among the white school councils of that city over the three years period in which the colored had had Scouting showed, that but two colored boys, members of Scout troops, of them had been acquitted. A record that equals that among the white Boy Scouts".

HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN JANE PARKER, Home Economics Dept., Calumet Baking Powder Co. CHRISTMAS DAY DINNER What you eat on Christmas Day depends quite often, on your racial extinction. In America it has come to be an axiom—turkey for Thanksgiving goose for Christmas, and duck for New Year's. Nevertheless, through song and history, the foods for Christmas and the actual merriment of the day itself, have become inevitably associated with the traditional "Goo Cheer of Old England." Such English customs as lighting the Yule Lyle and bringing in the Boar's Head, festive with holly and mistletoe and the plum pudding to keep the blues may be fitted into modern American customs. The suggestion for thy, roast pig carries out the English idea of the boar's head, but, if preferred, the more customary goose, turkey, or chicken may be substituted. M.

Miss Douglas passed the State Bar Examination which was held on the 14th, and 15th of December. The subject of this sketch belongs to one of the oldest women in the city, and has spent all of her time as graduate of Norfolk Mission College and her success adds to the homage of that grand old institution. In 1917, Miss Douglas became stenographer for Attorney J. Eugene Diggs, and in a short while made herself efficient in her line of work. In 1920 she was commissioned as Notary Public, which time she became interested in her work. Graphic part of the work. In 1922 she enrolled as a student in the American Correspondence School of Law of Chicago, Illinois. Since that time she has studied diligently in the offices of her employer, who placed at her disposal his very excellent law library. Miss Douglas will immediately qualify practice in the offices of City and will office in the Law Suite of Attorney Diggs at 143 Bank Street.

EXCELSIOR BAND CONCERT TREAT That the excelsior Band is appreciated at its true musical value was hown yesterday when hundreds of white persons—more whites than colored—went to the City Auditorium to hear this group play in the first of a monthly series of concerns which are being presented by the Norfolk Community. The auditorium was fairly well filled for the concert which could hardly have been better with any group of musicians on the rostrum. The music—selected to please the audience—ran from the classic to the popular, and both were rendered with equal facility and with the appeal well-trained colored musicians always exhibit. "Bye, Bye, Blackbird," the one popular number on the program, was the universal favorite, but the other numbers—"Princess of India" and "Barber of Seville," were excellently executed and enthusiastically received. The marches, "Lu, Lu," and "Stabat Mater," also invoked much applause and favorable comment, while the fantasia, "Evolution of Dixie," gave the colorize music to encourage their abilities. The piano selections, "The Bambula" and "2nd Mazurka" played by Janie Belle Jackson, were all that could be expected of any first class concert pianist. "Home, Sweet Home, the World Over." "White Bird" and the "Star Spangled Banner" completed the program. To make the concerts a monthly feature until June at least, when the band probably will begin giving outdoor concerts. Admission is free but silver offerings are taken to defray the expens es of the band and to promote the study of music among the general public.

Jefferson of Norfolk. Funeral Of The Founder Of Hartshorn (Continued from Page One) us and lived in our hearts. Fifth—We come because we loved him. Sixth—We feel warranted in saying that Dr. Teft laid down his life for his friends, and greater love than this hath no man. Seventh—The appollary cause such as that of the colored people of the South when he did, was to lay upon the altar ones life. What distinction, as the world calls it might he not have achieved. Being above want, having a mind highly trained, living a life of virtue, and a ward yet, he chose to eat with publican and sinners as his Lord had done before. In losing his life for his Master by spending himself for others, he found life, and that more abundantly. The dusky children of the South, whom he loved, did him, to reproduce his life in Godly fear and service and hand down to generations yet unborn the halled memory of this sainted man. "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the need of that man After this Mrs. Wood sang, "Jesus Lover Of My Soul." Alumni Representative Mrs. W. T. Johnson, representing the Alumnae Association, said in part, "I have come from my home in Richmond, Va. not only to pay my tribute of respect to my friend of many years, but also to represent the Alumnae Association. Were it possible, each member of the Association would be present here on this sad occasion to express their appreciation of this servant of God, Dr. Lyman of Boston, and for us in Hartshorn Memorial College for 29 years. Truly his work with the women of my race was a work of sacrifice. Not only was his work and influence felt in the school in which he labored, but it was felt throughout the community and throughout the State and other states wherever the young women who have been trained under his Christian training in Africa's distant Did. I do we love Dr. Tefft? Yea, we adored him. We loved him as a father. None knew him but to love him. None named him but to praise. Each year the members of the Alumnae Association tried to express their appreciation for his wonderful work by sending to him some token of love. We wanted him to know that he was not forgotten in elephant prints with this verse: "Sacrament of God. Well done." Rest from thy loved empire. The battle fought, the victory won. Enter thy Master's joy. I am the Lord's Speaks. Dr. David Mullinson, president of Hartshorn College said in part that he wished he had had the privilege of knowing Dr. Tefft longer. He had met him only this fall, but he said, "I have found out that Dr. Tefft built the buildings of the school to last. He made the plans himself and personally supervised the building of them. I found out something more. I found out that the character and lives of those young women, Christian principles of life which were lasting. I have had the privilege of extending several conventions and wherever I find the Hartshorn girls I have found worthwhile women, actively engaged in helping to better their communities. Before I left Hartshorn, I appointed a commission to memorize a moral service for Dr. Tefft to be held at 2 o'clock and today they are holding that service at this time." Dr. Mullinson extended his sympathy to those bereaved and especially to Miss Tefft and prayed God's blessings upon her. Hartshorn graduates present at the services were Mrs. W. T. Johnson, Mrs. B. C. Batyop, Miss Ada C. Batyop, Philadelphia, Pa. Miss Nelle Tharps, New York and Dr. Bessie Tharps Moore, Indianapolis, Indiana. Mrs. Wood then sang, "Jerusalem My Happy Home." She poured out her soul in sympathy for the bereaved as she beautifully sang these songs that Dr. Tefft loved to hear. Rev. H. H. Hayes made the conclusion that Dr. Tefft may meet a large number of people, but only a few stand out. Only a few make an impression on our lives. Dr. Tefft was one of those characters. When I came here six years ago and saw him sitting in front of me, I knew that he was one of God's stains. In addition to what he had said, I would like to mention three things that stand out in the life of Dr. Tefft: "First—His absolute conviction as to the power and of the scriptures." "Second—His absolute faith in the authenticity of the scriptures, and the way he were delivered." "Third—His loyalty and devotion to the cause of Jesus." Rev. Mr. Hayes closed with a poem entitled, "Just As Jesus Leads." The floral tributes were many and beautiful, the largest and most beautiful coming from the faculty and student body of Hartshorn College, and also the Hartshorn Alumnae Association. A large number of friends was assembled at the church for the funeral services. Among the out-of-town friends were Mrs. Anna Moore Foster of Norfolk, Mass, Miss Leola B. Waburton. Central Falls, R. I., both former teachers at Hartshorn College, Mrs. Hattie G. W. King and daughter, and Mrs. Mary Tefft Sarle of Holyoke, Mass, relatives of the deceased.

I. A. A., which followed the recent conference between Lincoln and officials of the C. I. A. A. has caused quite a stir in collegiate athletic circles. The report is being construed in many different ways, the most prominent of which is that Lincoln's councils the designate the name and that "tuskies will be given the "Turkey Day" place on the Lions' schedule." Lincoln Alumni, while rejoicing over the restatement of the Lions in the C. I. A. A., as it will afford Lincoln the opportunity of meeting Harpton, Union, St. Paul, and other strong eleven, are pooch-poaching the idea that the Howard-Lincoln game, which backed up by some 34 years of traditional rivalry, this game, and it is their belief that some arrangement to Lincoln and the C.

Department is given by instructors paid by the University and not by the State; that there is practically no supervision over either the instructors or instructions, and that students being given go over to their class rooms, instead of their instructors coming over to the State owned class rooms. It has further been revealed that the salaries paid by the University are much too low to invite competent professors, and yet it is thought opportunity being limited may partly account for the University's low salary. This is unfair. these men should be paid a living wage, enabling them to keep up a proper appearance and a household that will dignify their positions, and have a base nor substance. Investigator Bureau stated. A prominent alumnus in speaking about the discrepancy existing in the amount collected Feb. 24, 1922, at a Founder's Day celebration, says she was at the sessions on April 10, money she received.

Because the fact that there is iniquity in attendance on the part of certain members of the Trustee Board, it has been shown that the University Trustees have rather regularly been in a majority. One of the results of this has been that a sewerage disposal plant which the State has given $7,500 towards the State on mortgaged property, and in the event of foreclosure on this property appropriation of the State will be lost. Investigator Brusseau stated in regards to the Trustee Board: "It is the duty to know about these transactions and specifically other expenditures of funds to the University contracted on behalf of the University, which includes the borrowing of money by incumbering its real estate or otherwise. When they fail to do this they are not performing duties as trustees, when they fail to have knowledge of the various transactions. And they are a violation of the trust. And they owe to the A. M. E. Trustee. Further, it is the of the Trustees or a part of them to demand a call meeting of the board and a production of the books in order to have a clear understanding of knowledge of the administration of the affairs.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "We regret to report, Mr. Brusseaux added, "that our investigation of the relations of those two combined institutions reveals the lack of a spirit of cooperation and mutual helpfulness which seems to have broken out at times into a condition of hostility and narrowness. It is confidently believed that the conditions we are bringing to light, when eliminated, would result in the rapid growth and an expansion of the usefulness of both departments of the institution. The bickering and jealousy of the past cannot be ignored, and we hoped that this impartial and constructive investigation will call forth a hearty response on the part of the public and officials." In a final disclosure, Investigator Brusseau reiterated again that he desired it understood that this was his first official report to the press, and that the things he revealed to this reporter were all based on documentary evidence or on the reliable testimony of prominent persons, many of whose identity he will withhold for the time being at least. Pending the investigation, the Keystone Detective Agency investigator stated that during the next few days sweeping and astonishing revelations of some of the inner and less noticeable conditions existing at the University will be released.

When Mr. Evans, who is foreman for Dr. J. L. Johnson, president of the Board of Trustees is subpoenaed, he will be asked why he has contracted for cottages at the expense of $45,000. And why, at the present time, the laborers are being paid out of the athletic funds and are supposed to be working on the athletic field, but are working on his contract. Supt. Richard C. Bundy will be questioned as to his reason for dressing in a shirt, a jacket, a wristwatch, a vest at the State's expense and then using a State car for an extended pleasure trip thru the East, said Mr. Brusceux. Emory Hall Flascoe The investigator showed a copy of a letter that Miss E. J. Emory wrote Miss Hall Q. Brown regarding the former's gift to the school. It reads: "And now I have but to add that the check I gave to the school, as it was only a beginning with me, to be followed as time passes on and I learned of your promise." Miss Emory gave Miss Brown $16,000 in London, England, for the use of the girls' dormitory which was to be used to the agreement, for girls and girls only. Upon investigation, it was found that this dormitory has been a boy's dormitory since 1822, which is against the agreement of Mrs Emory as to her appropriations, and automatically cut off her appropriations for the upkeep of Emory hall.

At present, because the money for upkeep is cut off due to the breaking of the agreement, Emory hall is in a generally wretched condition, it is stated. The unusual exposures of Investigator Bruseau ends for the time being at this point, but what he disclosed, substantiated as it apparently is, represents one of the most interesting and far-ranging developments in the educational history of Negro institutions. Further developments which will be soon forthcoming are expected to be even more sensational.

Rodgers, 722 Stonewall street, Portsmouth, won first prize, $10 in gold, in the "Second Love" essay contest, conducted by the Virginia-Pilot in connection with the study concluded certify by Macdonald Duart. The essays entered in the contest had to answer the following questions: "Is it possible for a man or woman to love a second time? Is there room in the human heart for more than one real passion in life? The essays also had to deal with the characters and situations in "Second Love." The winning essay by Mrs. Rodgers follows: "Is it possible to ra man or whom he loves in the "Douglas time"? "I believe that a woman's capacity for love is greater than a man's. To love is greater than to great heartbeat of her soul, it in her whole existence. Therefore, to woman there is no such thing as second love. She loves but once, and the second love is greater than the first and then her heart is dead. Woman is the eternal Juliet, but man is Don Jann, Romco, Puck. To man is love, to woman is experiment. Love can be second, a third and a fourth time. He is a trader in hearts; sentiment is something he is afraid of, tender memories oppose. I liked Aurrey, for here there was but one love—John. He was a waking, made a fool of by a whimsical, love can be served Harry Morton. I liked Nona—for her there was only one love—Morton, and I am glad she won him. I liked Aurrey, for he was a gay Lothario; he was likable, but he encouraged Marcie too greatly. Poor Marcie! I disliked the poor misjudged girl. The story as a whole was a tragedy, the tragedy and constance of woman's love. "Love to a woman is like her first child. No mother ever forgets the unrepeated thrill and wonder and miracle of her first baby, no matter how many she may have thereafter. And no woman's being repulsed the first time she sees her first and love. When love dies in a woman, her first child is dead; and forever and forever there can never be but one first child."

C.—Brown Hall is a very fitting name to be applied to the new 252,000 building that is being erected on the campus of Waters Training School. As a large number of people known Dr. and the late Mrs. C. Brown dedicated their lives to this institution. Dr. and Mrs. Brown came to the county about forty years ago. The spot where the school now stands was a dense pine tree at that time. A statewide young man and Mrs. Brown an energetic man, began their educational under such conditions. They pushed the raccoons and opossums and felled the trees, and today there stands a splendid institution of learning that, four years ago, recog- nized a standard high school. Dr. and Mrs. Brown have been the macking of many a young man and woman. The writer acknowledges his indebtedness to them. Waters Training School, stayed in of these two people and was allowed to work his way through school. The people tried to give every worthy student an opportunity to get an education, together as teachers; buildings on the Dr. and Mrs. Brown will immortalize the Dr. and Mrs. Brown. As a final reward for her faithful services Mrs. Brown was allowed to set the new building started. The corner stone was laid Thanksgiving and she died in the fire the following year. Mrs. Brown of the proposed name for the new building about three weeks before she died, and with her usual unassuming manner she replied: 'Well, Dr. Brown has been a great help to community, putting the backbone of the town much cannot be said about Mrs. Brown. One of her outstanding characteristics and the same may be said of Dr. Brown, was her broadheads, and her approachability. Her sense of humor and the pity on other motives save that of real service would have brought Mrs. Brown from the prosperous mountainous section of Virginia to Hertford County, especially at the time when the same. The other woman of Levington, her hometown in Brown, last summer and some of the older people knew her in that town is Amaza - Drunamond. It is suggested that memorial of some type produced by the memory of Mrs. Brown aside from the name applied to the building. MOREHEAD CITY Morehead City, N.

As bricklayers, carpenters, barbers and in other avenues of the trades the Negro is losing out. Mr. Hall said. He related having passed a colored college campus recently and of see-white man raking the leaves, an occupation which would most surely have been filled by a Negro a few years past, and also related of having recently seen a house under construction for women doing the work. He concluded by saying, "I know of but one occupation in which a Negro can get a square deal, and that is farming. If a Negro brings to the market a bushel of quality as those brought by a white man he can get equally as much for his potatoes.

"Faith is the ongoing act in a process of a solution in a situation. It is the guiding star through situations that baffle reason. It is the hand of God that pushes one out of the way and leads to a greater usefulness. In the breath of its idea. Faith is where the soul commits itself, without reserve, resting on God, in confident trust, for all human beings. Faith can cover his relation with a personal and moral being—his God. It is king among all human acts and experiences. "Faith is real knowledge, says Dr. MacKenzie. Dr. Strong says Faith is knowledge. Paul says Faith is knowledge.

A PROGRESSIVE CITIZEN HAMPTON MRS. MARY ASH Agent and Correspondent MEMORIAL Mrs. S. B. Peachle of Union St. Hampton Norfolk ChurchNews "Should Ministers Join Secret Societies" Provokes Warm Discussion In Pastors' Union A lively and almost fiery discussion was precipitated in the weekly meeting of the Baptist Ministers Union, Northeast Ohio, on Monday in First Calvary Baptist Church at the conclusion of a paper read by Rev. J. E. Rodgers on the subject. "Should a Minister openly in favor of preachers come openly in favor of preachers joining such organizations should their own consciences dictate. Almost the second the Rev. J. E. Rodgers had a half dozen or more pastors were clamoring for the floor to express their reaction to the conclusion reached in his paper. "The majority of those who sought to speak, and all of those who did express themselves on the subject during the ten minutes slotted for discussion in the room, there seemed, however, to have been a group of ministers, led by the Rev. Harvey N. Johnson, who were prepared to listen of those who opposed the speaker. Rev. C. H. D. Griffin, Rev. A. Hobbs, Rev. G. W. watkins, Rev. E. E. Smith, were among those who succeeded in obtaining the floor during the ten-minute period and then with the views of Rev Mr. Rodgers. These ministers, however, took their position on the grounds that the preacher's chief mission is to preach the gospel and not on a sweeping condemnation of secret societies as such. The principle that the preacher's chief mission is in support of his mission was expressed by Rev. Mr. Rodgers in this manner: I hold since ministers are moral free agents, they have the absolute right to act with freedom as any other person. The preacher is within in reason and not derogatory to their profession. Since there is nothing unreasonable in joining secret societies, I can see no reason that the minister should not join provided he feels disposed. The minister explained that he would refrain from stating unqualifiedly that a preacher should or should not join secret societies because he felt that to take such position would amount to abiding in the law of the preacher as a moral free agent. He also went at length in pointing out that it was his opinion that preachers would find a fertile field for doing good in fraternal organization, and that it was necessary in their practices as well as principles, helping to direct the members toward more constructive and helpful programs and otherwise coming in contact with the lives of the people who constitute these societies. C. G. Serramille, of Cambridge, Mass., formerly of Portsmouth, was present and delivered a brief talk on the work in his new field. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Rolling Brook) Services were very good at the First Baptist last Sunday beginning with the Sunday school, Norfolk, occupied the pulpit, owing to the illness of the pastor, and preached an able sermon, Rev.

We thank Thee for the Spirit's wealth; We thank Thee for our daily food: For every kindness—every good. On this glad day our hearts we raise. In solemn songs of grateful praise; Accept them, Lord, we humbly pray. Through the mists of the dawn, a giant liner from Naples poked her way past the lighthouse at Sandy Hook, at sunrise one morning five years ago, a yellow flag at her man-made head. Off the Quarraboro bridge, she turned to a full stop. On the wharf at the station a doctor waited. From the wharf to the side of the greyhound, in a quarantine cutter, took three minutes—the sea was in a friendly mood. A ginger onto a linden, the physician chuckled. In the storage was a baby with cerebro-spinal meningitis. The doctor examined it and ordered it ashore to an isolation ward at Swinburne Island, out by the son. Two hours after removal the child died at afternoon the body was formed. In the body of the child, in the process he became infected. In a week he was dead, too. The world has forgotten his name—deaths in the line of duty are of little moment to those who thrill only to the vibration of the capons' boom—I'll mention it, less weaker. It was Ashley—Dr. Ashley, untimed hero of the American Medical Service. One of that little group of hard-working doctors stand through the winter's gates and the summer's heat, night and day, between the 105,000,000 Americans on shore and the exotic fevers, infections, and pestilences of the world—the U.S. Public Health Service! It was balsam summer, when this happened. Let's now move to a bitter cold morning in February, with an icy wind blowing in straight from the sea, forty miles away. We snort in lusciously great billews, that irritably lush the side of a ship from Havre. It takes half an hour for the Quarantine cutter to get alongside and then it rocks trenchurously, and then it crowds down to the deck of the citer. the deck of the oyster to examine the ship, starts to climb up. The powerful wind plays with the frail ladder. The wind becomes a hurricane; the sea swells higher and higher; now the doctor's position becomes perilous. Then one of the crew overload loses his judgement, and is crowned off his balance, the doctor has his hold on the ladder wrested from him and in a second he is sent, whirling down on the deck of the cutter twenty feet below. When they pick him up, he has three fractures, and is badly bruised. He just smiles—it might have been worse. Just an adventure; one of the risks of the fary. Why complain? It's all a part of the life of the health officer who boards the incoming ship—he can't expect fair sailing Big ship from Battle ports is standing in the roadstead. From agent in the roadstead, Agent in the service is advised that typus is raging through Esthona, Poland and Western Russia—look out! A doctor of the U. S. Public Health Service is in the roadstead, and a counting clock in the palm of his hand. All the passengers are paraded before him for a "gone over" And bless us on this Holy Day. We thank The, Father, for Thy grace: For blessings on this ancient race; Continue Lord. Thy tender care— Be with us here and everywhere. We thank Thee, Lord, for health and peace! May Thy rich blessings never cease; Be with our nation. Lord we pray— And bless us this and every day. A CHRISTMAS POEM Tarry, miss! Hear those bells with me! Hear those bells arringing, ringing. Hear those folks aslining, singing... Don't have a sharking! Don't have a smile with me! I've been waiting Hills of patience — Star tree tree Hills—Judens' holy site; Star—shedding holy light; Tree—sacred palm that night; Yes. O come and smile with me! III Tarry, day, Tarry, day, O year, tell me why you see! You're racing headling to your grave, You can scarcely see. Make the cold gray gay. Hit him laugh my mime away. There's been many a solemn day, Linger for a smile with me! Thank you miss, Thank you, hill and star and tree— You've given me blessings hours, You've brought me blessings showers; Year, you fed, the old and lame; But I thank you just the same; Now must I wait again to see Twelve months to have you smile with me! Go Guard America nces of the World When the last motley gathering of immigrants has passed in review the counting clock shows one missing! "All steerage passengers to quarantine quick! the order is given. The 2,000 men and women obey sullyen, the officers and the isolation is isolated for twelve days—the incubation period—then released, if all it well. And so it goes—next day it is the same thing or something else. Another ship stands anchored at the quarantine station. In the hold the doctor discovers a case of smallpox. All hands on the ship, first cabin officers and pilot, as well as steerage, are on the ship. But it's no use — the doctors insist: they cannot land unless they submit. In sight of land, but debarred the proptooship. The doctor holds the pump card. They all consent, prince, banker, prince donna and local heaver, bare their arms and get inoculated. In six months, probably fifty cases of smallpox on the way to America have been picked up on incoming steamers from European. Aslatic and other parts of the world. In a single week Swinburne had twenty victims and Hoffman and 400 tynes confess. Following the discovery of these contagious diseases aboard the ship, the ship must be fumigated. For this the physicians of the U.S. Health Service must gas—a new fumigant, said by the doctors of the service to be more deadly than any of the poisonous vapors used during the world war. Where this gas is liberated no living thing can live. Life and their spores aboard the ship, but all rats, bed bugs, cockroaches or other carriers of disease. Also it kills stowaways aboard the ship—this not intentionally, of course. The cyanide works so fast that even the workers with Service crews frequently get overcome. Last year at the Roschkah station, which is the largest in the world, eleven U. S. Public Health Service physicians, and around 1,508,658 passengers and crews. In a single week recently they passed on the health of 30,000. Here we have the largest medical practice on earth, performed by more than 1,500,658 patients, who have, in difference to personal risk and application of the serious responsibility resting upon them as the guardians from outside contamination of health care, of more than 100,000,000 souls, which deserve recognition from those they so faithfully serve. And we here cheerfully give it. The nation is their debt and knows it.

Spiller, Gives Feeling Testimony To Dr. O. J. Allen. Writing from his venerable peak in many years, Rev. Dr. R. Spiller, one of the deans of Negro ministry, who for a number of years was active in church founding and organizing in Waterford, Virginia, gives a striking testimonial of Rev. Dr. O. J. Allen, of this city, now pastoring First Church Church, which was founded by Dr. Spiller 46 years ago, Dr. Spiller says. More than two years ago, The First Church Baptist Church, of Norfolk, became a widow, because of the death of Dr. P. J. Wallace, her Dr. Wallace was a pastor, leader, teacher, and a teacher of no mean ability. Under his administration, First Calvary Church that was organized 20 years ago with four members by forty humble servant so the property is with the time of her organizer $1,200 for $36,000 and erected of the finest church buildings it can be found in the Saint "At the church of Dr. Wallace, the church fell; he respondent and was certain that a man who was able to take up the work where he left and carry it on could not be found. However, being led by the point of the Lord, they began to look around, and were visited by many cemetery preachers from the various towns, but after a white, the Rev. O. J. Allen, who was then at Stateville, N. C., where a great work had been accomplished for God and humanity through his instrumentality, was invited. "Dr. Allen is not only a leader along the spiritual line, but materially also. On his first visit, the church saw in him elements of leadership, and at once he saw that the man intended by the Lord to take up the work laid down by, the death of Dr. Wallace. "The church has prospered ever since he has had charge, and not only has he carried out a part of the program mapped out by Dr. Wallace, but has gone far beyond the expectation of the church and community. There is no such a thing as one man who has done what he simply begins his work, where other man left off. For there is a general for every great battle. "The church under the leadership of Dr. O. J. Allen has been freed of debt, and is now supporting two missionaries on the foreign field under the Convention, and Dr. Allen is thinking strongly of supporting one himself. "Forty-six years ago, while I was pastor of the Bank Street Baptist Church of Norfolk, I saw that we needed another Baptist church in that city. This church was organized as a mission of the church of which was pastor. We make no mistake when it is, the equal along many lines of any Baptist church in the United States. "On being invited by this church to preach its Forty-Sixth Anniversary sermon, we regarded this to be an honor of no mean distinction. "This took place on the twenty-first day of November, 1826. We arrived in Norfolk, on the twentieth morning, being seated on our home by Dr. Allen on Sunday morning, we met a large and enthousi-gathering. We selected as a subject, "The Church and its Preservation." If we are to judge from the attention paid by the congregation, and its response, the sermon was all that they needed. "At the close of the sermon, one of the Deacons came forward and presented the writer a $45.00 suit of clothing and a $25.00 suit of $25.00 by the Trustees of the Church. All of this was done because a man who knew how to appreciate service rendered was in charge and with officers who fully co-operated with their pastor in every good work. "To know Dr. Alien, his family, and his church is but to love them. No pastor in Norfolk of an denom-lium is exerting a more healthy influence in the community than Dr. Alien. "Long live Dr. Allen, and his family to do work for God and for humanity. "North Carolina ought to feel especially proud of Drs. O. J. Allen, G. O. Bullock of Washington, D. C., and many other of her sons who are now laboring in other states. Accepting, the invitation of the Greek government, France will hold an event in Athens, and the President of Greece will be a patron of the event.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES VIRGINIA STATE COLLEGE Ettickts, Va. - On Friday, December 10, the faculty, students, and many friends from the city listened to a most interesting lecture by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the editor of the Crisis. His subject was Russie. Under the auspices of the L'Écute Bureau of the Virginia Normal and Institutional Institute, an itinerary, which included Shaw, Durham State College, Richmond and Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute was arranged for Dr. DuBois to give a series of lectures. Under his topic Dr. DuBois pointed out that Russia in her industrial struggle is misrepresented by the press; that Russia is requiring everybody to work—the rich are the poor—the poor are the successful it, is something that makes the world look on with unbroken interest. the following Tuesday. A number of the many friends who were there showed their interest by means of substantial gifts. In addition to this there were numerous suggestions which will tend to restore the school to its lofty place in the matter of educating the American Negro. President Gandy spoke at one of the auditions and contributed his bit in other ways. The examinations on the work of the first quarter begin on Tuesday, December 14, and will run through two days. During the first days of next week, the students will be classified for the work of the second quarter. Then on Wednesday, December 22, at four o'clock they will be excused for the Christmas vacation. Baltimore Ma. Dec. 20—The Board of School Commission, at its last The Historical Society presents Professor Wm. Leco Hanberry, of Howard University, as its next speaker, on Friday, December 17. The subject is Negro Civilization in Ancient Africa. Professor Hanberry will illustrate his subject with African exhibits. The public is cordially invited to be present. The lecture is free. President John M. Gandy gave a most encouraging report about Fisk University on his return from the inauguration of the new president—Dr. B. Jones. As Dr. Gandy, the occasion marks an awakening with the outlook of a great future for this pioneer institution in the interest of education for Negro youth. The exercises began on Saturday, December 4, and continued through the following Tuesday. A number of the many friends who were there showed their interest by means of substantial gifts. In addition to this there were numerous suggestions which will tend to restore the school to its lofty place in the matter of educating the American Negro.

Baltimore, Ma., Dec. 20—The Board of School Commissioners, at its last meeting, granted the request of the faculty of School No. 401, that this school be given the name "Fannie Jackson Coppin Normal School." The assignment of this name to this school which has formerly been known as the Colored Training School will aid in bringing the dignity to work and will serve to honor this noble woman who was a pioneer in College and Normal School Education, a vigorous religious worker and a strong champion of the rights of her people. Professor Miles W. Connor, A. M., formerly of Virginia Union University, is the principal of this school.

Helpful Publicity The Journal and Guide has had the occasion before during the year to refer with optimism and appreciation to the enlarging opportunity for the Negro to have his cause set before the world through the medium of the public press as represented in influential publications with vast circulations. The race thoroughly understands the fact that the main avenue through which it must make headway in this country is the creating of the right sort of public sentiment. Added to the unprecedented number of favorable news stories of the Negro that has appeared in magazines of standing for the past twelve months is the "Black Man's Claim for Equality" appearing in the January number of Success Magazine. This story is illustrated with the best portrait of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, Paul Roberson, Florence Mills, Dr. R. R. Moton, Major Allon Washington and other scenes of Negro life. It is by Hubert Malkus, and is thoughtfully written and interesting. We may expect better things to come as this sort of publicity increases through; the medium of publications read by the very persons before whom it serves our best to have our case heard.

More On Our New Citizens Continuing our discussion of new citizens gained by our community during the the year closing, it becomes a pleasure to the Journal and Guide to refer, along with those already mentioned, to Rev. L. L. Berry, who assumed the pastorate of St. John's A. M. E. Church in April, Rev. John D. Crisp, pastor of St. Paul C. M. E. Church, who came to the city in March, and Rev. G. W. Watkins, a most recent newcomer, who is pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church, and we will refer also to the Rev. V. K. Stokes, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, who here just a short while previous to the closure of last year but was installed in his charge only this year. These four, added to the names already mentioned, place six prominent pastors our first of newly acquired citizens for the year. And in this connection the particular good fortune befelling the city through their building is found in the fact that all of them are of the type who assume places in all phases of community welfare. Who you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." If there be no miracle in Heaven or earth, will this the most potent benediction ever trapped into the wistful heart of mankind. The statues, measure their course. life's seasons evolve and write their changing fortunes upon mankind of experience, war follows peace and each follows war, and the manger of humility endures the shrine of but only hope. It may be true that this ever-hastening age developed Christmas with the flavor of self-dependence, that we exact too foolishly all that surely material profit, that we exhaust ourselves in a mid display of artificial generosity, that we translate a simple and beautiful story into an array of the marketplace: this may or may not be true, and each can answer for him; that is still true that, in a very instant frame, every man may find, undestroyed, the recollection hidden in his heart. That second of humanity, placed within us as purpose of sacrifice at birth, dies hard—if at all, after all, something real and filled with meaning; it belongs to the Imperishable flesh all matter of faith apart, must believe that right is better than wrong, kinder better than cruelty, gentleness better than cynicism, here is something which is eternal, something which r-creates, reanimates, resurrects, but though the understanding of it escapes us, we know that beneath the dead and frozen surge of the earth life breathes and waits its breath. What, in the balance with this profound reality, is the misanthropy of wilted intelligence? Well, perhaps a pity we ever grow up. Or do. What? Is it us miracle by which we recapture the fine ingestion of belief other than allowing an sw of childhood's simple faith? Why lacks 3 of innocence which covers the earth and tumis men's eyes. in Alaska, in India, in the distant outposts and at the home hearths, to that group of shepherds plodding their way through the night to worship the birth of revelation. There is nothing engraved more indelibly on the heart of mankind than the infinite source of that Star which is hope, and of that angelic chorus pouring down from the bursting heavens with the sublime proclamation: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." It needs something more than a smart sneer to rob the world of that majestic moment, be it allegory of circumstances; it needs something more profound than the pious arrogance of intellectual self-deception to blot out from the consolation of humanity the grand symposium of its transcending reassurance. It is sufficient if man finds himself borne, on the wings of Christmas, from the ends of the world straight to the hearth of his better self; if the Star leads him, remembering, to the cradle of his good intentions. "But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart." And so may we. North Carolina—The Fifth Division A few months ago this paper took occasion to remark editorially that there were now five great geographical divisions to the United States—North, South, East, West and North Carolina. Close-up observations obtained during a four-days stay in the state confirm and strengthen the conviction previously expressed. It is a fact that the State is geographically and traditionally Southern, but it is no longer typically so, and that is said with due regard to the "Advancing South," which is discovered and clarified in Dr. Mims' book by that name. North carolina reads the South—and many States in other sections of the country—in forward movements for education, agriculture, manufacturing, law enforcement and general attitudes by such a wide margin that there is no comparison. The phrase "general attitudes" will bear amplifying. In education it is explained by the State's liberal appropriations to schools. North Carolina provides more liberally for its State university than any Southern state. In addition the State supports a chain of first-rate colleges. It aims to train its own teachers at home and provides amply for it. It has caught the vision of an educated citizenry that includes all citizens of whatever race, creed or color, and provides with unusual liberality for the education of its Negro citizens, from elementary school to college. In the brief period, 1921-25, the State spent on education for Negroes $18,000,000. If any other State maintaining a dual system of schools ever spent that much in any similar period it is not of record. The progress which the Sstate is making in education is reflected in the splendid relations which obtain between the two races. Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, Commissioner of Public Welfare, is quoted as having said recently that North Carolina has ceased to think of the Negro as a problem and is thinking in terms of duty to him. The "general attitude" which makes for progress in North Carolina does not stop at education and same race relations. It is not generally known that the State has a better system of public highways than New York State, but that is true. And in manufacturing, the development of hydro-electric power, agriculture and mining North Carolina has been keeping abreast of its progress in education and road building. The State has developed able leadership—white and colored. From Aycock to McLean, North Carolina has had a continuous regime of a governor. Aycock was the pioneer in the intellectual enamulation of the State. But the governor whose influence has been most lasting, perhaps, was Thomas W. Bickett. Much of the liberal awakening now seen in North Carolina is the lengthening shadow of ex-governor Bickett, now dead. It was he who first stalked the mob. He did it personally; met the mob face to face and turned it back. Lynchers got one chance to insult the State under Governor Morrison, but after that they went to the penitentiary. He established the precedent of not waiting until local authorities asked for aid. He made mob suppression and law enforcement a State matter, and his successor, Governor McLean is doing the same. It is a risky business to stage a mob demonstration in North Carolina. The liberal tendencies flow from the big educational institutions, of course. At one time or another the whole group of college presidents—particularly Chase of the University and Potter of Wake Forest—have been on the rack. The "fundamentalists" have found the State a losing battle ground. The Negro is faring well. In a recent review of Dr. Edwin Mims"Advancing South" Alain Locke said: "The new intellectual South that has attempted at last at Chapel Hill to make good the Southern boast that the South knows the Negro best is a significant development." Dr. Odum, Prof. Johnson, Prof. Jackson, Dr. Allen, Dr. Newbold and others are taking much of the guesswork out of the Negro question. North Carolina is fortunate in its Negro leadership. In the field of education Atkins, Smith, Moore, Edwards, Shepard, Pearson, Jones, Trent, Bluford, Boyer and McCrory are outstanding examples. There is another figure in the field of education, who, although not an academician, is doing as much as any single individual in the State to advance education. That is Berry O'Kelly, Raleigh capitalist, founder and benefactor of the training school at Method, which the educational specialists pronounce one of the best in the State. When school problems are being considered, Berry O'Kelly's advice is sought. In the field of business the Negro is making wonderful strides in North Carolina. Spatulding, Avery, Pearson and Gomez are holding up the light and they are holding it high. All of them are at Durham, which is the business center of the State, as far as Negroes are concerned. There are two young men who are making their impression upon North Carolina in separate, but closely allied fields. W. A. Robinson in education and Lawrence M. Oxley in social welfare. The former is State supervisor of Negro high schools and the latter welfare officer under the State public welfare commission. Both are doing highly constructive work and are making valuable contributions to the marvelous progress of the State. As a "fifth division," although the application is mythical, North Carolina is attracting the attention of the whole country and of the world, partly because it is taking a leadership in human affairs that was not expected to come out of the South, which is bound by traditions that are in part not compatible with intellectual freedom and material progress, and which still shackle a majority of the Southern States. A few years ago it was mute to travel for the first time across a desert. How we had longed on the trip for the time to come. We had been hearing about deserts all our lives. In our earliest studies in geography there had been descriptions of the vastness, the aridness, the monotony and the danger of deserts. We had even seen pictures of them. But now it was to be ours to see one and to pass through it ourselves. The passengers were all as jolly and as keenly expectant as a child looking for Christmas and the coming of Santa Claus. A. The hours wore on and we came into the desert. At first, it was simply fascinating. One could not keep his eyes off the changing-hued mountains, the endless stretches of sand, the cactus plants and other desert shrubs. nally the thing began to get these. We were becoming used to it, and we were findin' pleasant as one might suppose who knew it, only by hearty. The hours wore on and we came into the desert. At first, it was simply fascinating. One could not keep his eyes off the changing-hued mountains, the endless stretches of sand, the cactus plants and other desert shrubs. But finally the thing began to get tiresome. We were becoming used to the experience, and were finding it not so pleasant as one might suppose who knew it only by hearsay. Then a welcome change. Odors of semitropical fruits. Here and there were beautiful flowers. Now and there a palm tree. Then a town where one forgot there is a surrounding desert. We had come to an oasis, a fertile spot in the desert where streams of water had turned death into life, changed and dust into fertile farms, afforded man a shelter from the sand storms, monotony and death of the measureless wastes. I sometimes think I live in a desert. Books, magazines, newspapers, signs in public places, omnious looms of uniformed men who seem to fear I may board the wrong car or sit on the wrong side of the boat, all this whole program of prescription and Jim-crowism we on me like tired passengers on the transcontinental train ceasing their conversation, sipping lee water, seeking out the most restful seats and wishing for the oasis, so I grow weary and long for some relief. Now and then I come upon some sequestered spot here in my own Virginia where race separation by flat has not reached and where, nevertheless, race amalgamation is making no visible progress. In these places there are no restrictions upon the purchase of land, no stores that cater only to this or that group of the citizens, no signs in the waiting rooms and no separate writing rooms, no fear and aloofness as between the neighbors of different race. When I come to such places, I am reminded that streams can flow in a desert, that white and black can live side by side in peace, and with contentment. Spirit of The Press Then a welcome change.

The Wilberforce Probe From the Detroit Independent In regard to the press reports concerning the so-called investigation by the State of Ohio into the internal affairs at Wilberforce University, with hints at scandal and mismanagement it is snooped at by beggars without a doubt in judgment and criticism until all the facts in the matter are made known. In regard to the press reports concerning the so-called investigation by the State of Ohio into the internal affairs at Wilberforce University, with hints at scandal and mismanagement it is sincerely to be hoped that the colored public will withhold its judgment and criticism until all the facts in the matter are made known. Let us bear in mind that the institution itself is not on trial or under suspicion. Wilberforce is one of our oldest and most historic educational institutions, and the influence for good which it has exerted upon the race can not be estimated. Wilberforce is an institution of which the race has a right to be proud. It is larger than any individual connected with it. Wilberforce University is not responsible and should not be condemned for any alleged mistakes which any official may or may not have made in the conduct of its affairs. We should not allow the usefulness of such an institution to be crippled and handcapped by alleged individual bunders. Let us bear in mind that the institution itself is not on trial or under suspicion. Witherforce is one of our oldest and most historic educational institutions, and the influence for good which it has exerted upon the race can not be estimated. Witherforce is an institution of which the race has a right to be proven. It is larger than any university within it. Witherforce university is not responsible and should not be condemned for any alleged mistakes which any official may or may not have made in the conduct of its affairs. We should not allow the usefulness of such an institution to be crippled and handicapped by alleged individual blunders. President Coolidge On Lynching From the Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter President Coolidge, in his message to Congress, dealt lynching a feeble blow. But it seems that is the only kind he ever deni, at least, since he has been at the White House. He made the impression of a hard hitter when he was attacked in Massachusetts and dealt with a strike situation. President Coolidge, in his message to Congress, dealt laughily a feeble blow. But it seems that is the only kind he ever denis, at least, since he has been at the White House. He made the impression of a hard hitter when he was Governor of Massachusetts and dealt with a strike situation. It was thought that his chief public asset was courage. This, more than anything else, influenced his selection as the running mate of President Harding and put him in line for a position where courage counts. But it is usually felt that he shows less of this quality than most of his predecessors. It might be that the situations with which he has had to deal have not called for a display of courage and his careful methods have served to give the wrong impression. It could be that his recent reference to lynching is as much a bait for political minnows as it is his conscientious sentiment for law enforcement in behalf of the defenseless Negro. Anyway, he has not said nor done much to prove that he cares. In the face of the increased lynchings that have happened on the eve of the assembly of Congress and the forthcoming of his message, he could not have said less than he did say to a Republican Congress, even if he had never been supposed to have any courage or any pronounced sentiments on equal justice. It is, however, to be appreciated among those who suffer from this vell that he said what he did, or anything at all. It was thought that his chief public asset was courage. This, more than anything else, influenced his selection as the running mate of President Harding and put him in line for a position where courage counts. But it is usually felt that he shows less of this quality than most of his predecessors. It might be that the situations with which he has had to deal have not called for a display of courage and his careful methods have served to give the wrong impression. It could be that his recent reference to lynching is as much a built for political minnows as it is his conscientious sentiment for law enforcement in behalf of the defenseless Negro. Anyway, he has not said nor done much to prove that he cares. In the face of the increased lynchings that have happened on the eve of the assembly of Congress and the forthcoming of his message, he could not have said less than he did say to a Republican. If he had that ever been supposed to have any courage or any pronounced sentiments on equal justice. It is, however, to be appreciated among those who suffer from this well that he said what he did, or anything at all. The President's Message From the St. Louis Argus We have read with a deal of interest that part of the President's message to the United States Congress as reiers to the colored people of America. To our minds, President Coolidge was the way that the colored people are treated in this country at the hands of the white people. We have read with a deal of interest that part of the President's message to the United States Congress is reiers to the colored people of America. To our minds, President Coolidge has a pretty clear conception of the way that the colored people are treated in this country at the hands of the white people. We are pleased to note that the President has a full and clear knowledge of the duties and the responsibilities of the National Government in the premises. With the admission of the knowledge of these conditions on the part of the President, comes the responsibility, forcibly at his door, to use, as he has power to use, all the resources of the government to bring about a change. He further admitted that in the mistreatment of the Negroes, the Federal constitution is being violated. This brings to our attention the fact that in the United States, did upon his oath, with his hand palm down upon the scarred pages of the We are pleased to note that the President has a full and clear knowledge of the duties and the responsibilities of the National Government in the premises. With the admission of the knowledge of these conditions on the form of the President, comes the responsibility forcibly at his door, to use, as he has power to use, all the resources of the country, to change a change. He further admitted that in the misstatement of the Negroes, the Federal constitution is being violated. This brings to our minds the fact that he, as President of the United States, did upon his oath, with his hand placed palm down upon the sacred pages of the Holy Bible, promise to enforce the constitution of the United States. This being a fact, surely we should be aware of the fundamental laws of the land, contemptibly violated, and at the same time, not do one thing to prevent such violations. A Poem A Week A Poem A Week Back in the mews of ancient Beth- hem. Angels of God did chant a holy hymn.— Of "peace on earth and good-will to men." A mighty star, the Eastern sages' call. Proclaimed His birth, and halled Him Lord of all; Creation bowed and Glory sang amen. Fled has the star that heralded the Advent. Silent the shepherds and their mountain flocks. Let Judae's plains through which the tidings went. Stand mute today as sepulchres or rocks; The times have published what His coming meant. And faith survives the skeptic's fiery shocks. —J. HARVEY L. BAXTER. BOOK CHAT HOMESPUN HEROINES AND OTHER WOMEN OF DISTINCTION. Compiled and Edited by Hallie Q. Brown, B. S. M. S. This work is a real contribution to Negro history and Miss Brown is to be commended for giving us such a work as well as those to whom she is indebted for contributions. Unfortunately, the attitude of our people toward their own history is as briefly stated by Miss Lyons. "Though an important division of the American people in one phase we differ from most, if not all other divisions - we do not little about them. We have neglected to preserve facts and incidents of those of us who have lived lives of strenuous endurance and unwavering self-sacrifice." In some of the character sketches given we are given an insight into some of the most important facts of slavery, the hardships of plantation life, help by Northerners both white and colored, the difficult escape, the "Underground Railroad," the "Underground Mine" in the North, and the Negro's desire to get an education and the difficulties in the way. This book will be of value for at least three reasons. It shows Negroes' ability, and especially that of women, even under the greatest handicaps, to overcome obstacles, and is for this reason inspirational; secondly, its historical value and thirdly, the Negro's contribution, primarily to his race and secondary to America. In these women we have poets, a Sunday school organizer, a physician, a lawyer, missionaries, musicians, editors, lecturers, welfare workers, surrogates, a more educated audience, and a mother of a mothers. These are some of the samples—Funnie J. Coppin and Mary J. Patterson demonstrated the Negroes' adaptability to higher education when this fact was very much in doubt, Dr. Steward, the ability of Negro women to succeed in the field of medicine, Soujourner Truth as an advocate of the Negroes' cause, Mary Carey's success as editor, lawyer and lecturer, Phylla Wheatley's and Francis Harper's poetry, Frances Jane Brown's "Underground Railroad" activities, the indomitable spirit of Harriet Tubman, and her so-called "there's two things I got to do—Death and Liberty—or to other I must have," and the achievements of Mrs. Washington. The influence of these women and others upon those with whom they came in contact is immensurable. This work should be in every home that glories in its heritage, but chiefly it should be in our school libraries and placed on the list of required reading by our teachers of history. We are sure that the author would feel repaid if this were done. Preachers and other public speakers also should find this work of great value. B. W. HARRIS Health Notes Occasional Bulletin (No. III) issued by the Department of Public Health, Howard University, Washington. D. C. Algernon B. Jackson, M. D. Director. Have You Done It? Washington, D. C. "Done What?!" we hear you inquire. Have you tuned in upon Station S-E-A-L yet? If not, do so at once, for this is the one way which gives you and every American citizen a weapon with which to fight against the invasion of your home by the dreaded white plague—Tuberculosis. To buy the little Christmas seals is to make a sound investment in health for yourself and your neighbor. During this season of "peace on earth, good will toward men," you certainly feel the urge to play part in changing about the peace which governs health, and promoting that sort of practical good will which flows from the hearts of those who have done a good deed for their fellowman. In the last twenty years the Negro death rate from Tuberculosis has been cut in half, and much of this fine accomplishment can be credited to the National Tuberculosis Association which is the sponsor for the Christmas Scals. The campaign of education, the establishment, and the various agencies for ridding) the land of Tuberculosis have in a great measure been financed from the sale of the Christmas Scals. The Negro has received much not all the benefit he might have derived from this type of Public Health Work. These institutions I am asked by a correspondent who expresses deep interest in my release to discuss the propositions involved in the following inter-rotatives. PETER H. 1. Is it the American Negro problem a problem, and can it be solved by politics? 2. Is it a religious problem, and can it be settled by economics? 3. Is it an economic problem, and can it be solved by economics? My general response is that all of those factors are efficient agencies in the solution of the race problem; but no one of them is sufficient. It will require all of them operating separately and cooperating conjointly to bring about the solution. Even if it will possibly require additional agencies beyond those mentioned to effect desired consummation. In sociology, as in mathematics, before attempting to solve a problem you must first state it, with the involvement of certain known and unknown elements. When the unknown quantity is isolated and equated in terms of the known, the problem is said to be solved: * * * * * We know that there are two easily distinguishable groups of races, which have sundry different physical characteristics and peculiarities; that the white group has been and the more numerous and controlling factors; that it possesses many acquired superiorities; and that a subtle something called race prejudice, has kept them socially asunder. If we can isolate race prejudice and bring it under the control of known principles, then we would stand ready to help him—he hes but to apply. The question naturally arises, how much has the Negro contributed to the maintenance of these agencies? True there may be certain attitudes, in certain places, adopted by certain people which seem to discourage the Negro sufferer from Tuberculosis when he applies for help. But on the other hand, these hindering factors are so unimportant and so unessential to the larger program of the National Tuberculosis Association that they can be swept aside if we, as a macro do our duty, first in making a greater amount of money available better health and striking back against any and every tendency to discriminate. Most certainly I am sure the Negro wants to help pay his own way toward better health. To do so gives him a sense of self-respect which is unconquerable, and at the same time demands a respect from the whole American citizen in his life, even from those who are scientific and unhungry as to attempt to discriminate against the health of the American. Have you done it? Do it at once. Do duty toward your home, your race and your nation in helping to drive Tuberculosis from the land, and you will help bring "peace on earth, good will toward men." It was Charles Dickens who (according to a well known practitioner of the amenities of book collecting) made Christmas Day a universal holiday. And he did it by a little book, 'the greatest little book in the world it has been'. "A book has published just eighty years ago. Its cheer has permeated into nearly every land under the sun, as the cheer of the last stanza of the carol drove away the fog and frost that hung about the black gateway of old Scrooge, the misanthropo, the night before Christmas. And there is still enough cheer heart in this visit city, whatever its degree of hardness, cynicism or disappointment may be. The church took over the day into its sacred almanac from other calendars in which the day or season was celebrated as the birthday of the unconquered sun in the skies, and made it the birthday of the "Son of God." But without losing its sacred charm it has spread the tidings of that good-will which is and will ever be associated with the holy word, and the form that every household, whether Jew or Gentle, Protestant or Catholic, whether with or without one of the faiths that found their cradle in what is, to many of differing creeds, a Christian. Jewish. Moslem holy land. The pervasion of this community and of every community in this country and every community in many countries by the Christmas spirit at this season makes it the nearest to a universal holiday that is so much more important in a day of this import is more widely observed than any other is perhaps the best ground for hope that the world will be a better world as the Christmas multiplies.

NATIONAL LABOR REVIEW "Is the American Negro problem a political problem, and can it be solved by polities?" Dr. Kelly Miller in this release ad dresses himself to this query. He asserts that race prejudice will not yield to the dictates of politics. "The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments gave the Negro full political equality with the whites, but the exactions of race prejudice have practically nullified the intent and purpose," says Dr. Miller. "If politics could solve the race problem, the reconstitution institutions would have done so," he adds. Dr. Miller concludes by asserting, "Politics cannot solve the race problem, but the race problem cannot be solved without politics." be well on the way to solution. While as yet no social analyst has been able to do this, yet we are warrantably satisfied that race prejudice will not yield to the dictates or the exigencies of politics. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments gave the Negro full political equality with the whites, but the exactions of race prejudice have practically nullified their intent and purpose. If politics could solve the race problem, the reconstruction enactments would have done so. Indeed the sanction of race prejudice is so controlling that it bids the American people a scrap of paper out of their own constitution; and is in effect. Even where the Negro is every vestige of political prejudice, there is little modification of race prejudice, and no clear indication of satisfactory solution. Let us take the border of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, where the Negro votes as freely as any other citizens, in these states the race problem is not solved nor is the final solution clearly indicated. These states practice all of the laws of distinction and diserim in the lower South where there is practically complete disenchancement. Separate schools, jim-crow cars, anti-marriage cars, and constitute the general issue. If the prevailing regime is less restrictive than in the relative of the ballot but in the relative of the populace. The fact is the privilege of exercising the right to vote is ever conditioned upon comparative numbers. The Negro votes freely in the North and West where his numbers are insignificant. In the border states where the race is relatively more numerous, the franchise, though unrestricted, has more than once been placed in jeopardy whenever it threatened to upset the demands of race prejudice. It is, therefore plain to see that the franchise does not condition and control race prejudice, but is conditioned and controlled by it. The reason we have to suppose that the franchise would solve the race problem in the South, when it obviously fails to do so in the North. If every Negro in the United States had ever political rights demanded the Equal Rights League or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the problem would merely be shifted to a new plane, but would be as far from solution as it is today. No one ever heard of solving the Jewish problem by politics. The Nineteenth Amendment has not solved the sixth problem. Politics creates as many problems not solved. It was but a hazy philosophy that injected this idea in the first place. Politics has its own field and sphere. It has to do with the control and regulation of the government whose chief function is to protect life and property and to insure justice between man and man. Government cannot control the feelings, passions and prejudices of men except in so far as the interfere with the ends of justice. The American people experienced a spasm of virtue during the anti-slavery conflict which culminated during the Civil War and its immediate aftermath. It did seem, for the moment, that the multitude of race prejudices had been exactions. During this propitious moment, the Negro was given full political power and preoperative. Every safeguard that Urban League Reports on Industry for November. Bulletin No. 9. of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows: A number of cities—among them Canton, Cleveland, St. Louis, Columbus, and Chicago—report a showing down in industry which is to be expected this time of year. In St. Louis where they have been laying men off in the foundries and mills, employers say this condition cannot obtain for more than sixty days. Colored molders have been working as laborers in Columbus bus. firms in business speeds up. More Negroes are being used in the building trades in Columbus and in Austin, Texas, more Negro porters and helpers are being hired because they are cheaper labor. MIGRATION—There is a movement of workers into Chicago and Hot Springs, Arkansas. The movement to the latter city is due in part to the importation of men by the railroad. ORGANIZED LABOR—In New York City colored strikers and strike-breakers are still taking a very active part in the Paper Box Workers Strike, which is now in its tenth week and colored members of the Motion Picture Operators Union are still picketing a Harlem Theatre which is giving employment to non-union operators. the law could device was thrown about him to uphold and protect him in his recently bequeathed statutes. It was during this interval when race prejudice was momentarily off guard, that the Negro reached the pinnacle of political power and preferment. Then we had Negro senators, congressmen, governors, judges and legislators widely scattered throughout the South. Washington was familiar with Negro senators, congressmen and registers, auditors, recorders, marshals and foreign ministers. But alas, where are they today? They were in the army, they take the wonder of an arm. They sit at the time when race prejudice was held in abeyance by virtue of a greater passion. But as soon as the greater passion began to wane, race prejudice began to reassert itself and swiftly swept away all but the last vestige of the erstwhile political power and privilege one so generously enjoyed. Today the Negro is rapidly approaching the zero point on the scale of political favor, because race prejudice is now in the ascendancy. So good an organization as the Republican party, and so good a president as Calvin Coolidge will not appoint a colored man to the high political stations formerly accorded the race, because race prejudice forbids. Negroes are excluded from high office and segregated in the civil service because race prejudice demands it, and politics or politicians have not the moral courage to resist its demands. We have the peculiar anomaly that as the Negro gains in intelligence, substance and respectability, he loses in political weight. Thirty years ago, when his rate of literacy was far lower than it is today, when he had only begun to acquire property in the sense of present ownership of cultural culture, he was far lower than he was well favored as a factor in the government. Where are the senators, representatives, registers, marshals and ministers of yesteryear? The South was full of Negro postmasters, collectors, and subordinate officials, but they are gone today and the place thereof shall know them more. In nature will gain in influence, substance and general progress, but no one expects his political advancement to keep pace with his general life. From what has been said, the fair minded must be convinced that no early solution may be looked for through the agency of politics. But the political field should not be supinely surrendered. Because we cannot sacrifice all, there is no reason why we should not be able to command much more than we are now securing. Ten million Negroes count for mullity in the state mainly because they do not wisely and skillfully marshal and manipulate their forces. There are still some few things that could be commanded upon the basis of political strength. I wonder, by the way, if Mr. Matthews, of Massachusetts, with his fourteen points is still alive and is still insisting on his ambitious scale of racial recognition. His bill of 'rights' was moderated enough for ten million sovereign American citizens, and yet not a single one of his fourteen points has received the slightest consideration from the friendly powers to whom they were presented. Who will have the temerity to repeat this audacious political feat of demanding race recognition? Will these fourteen points be again demanded during the approaching presidential campaign? I am hoping to see the Negro increase in his political preference. I expect, as well as hope, to live to see the time when their recognition will be accorded the race. But I have no obligation or hope to live enough, to see politics exercise a controlling influence over race prejudice or have any determinative effect upon the solution of the race problem. Politics cannot solve the race problem; but the race problem cannot be solved without politics. And now I have devoted all of my time and space to this one interrogative alone. I shall return to the subject in some future work, but with equal fulness the political and religious agency as factors in the solution. FAVORABLE CONDITIONS REPORTED Jackson, Mich.-New Hotel Hayes opened recently is hiring colored bellboats and waiters under a colored head waiter. Cleveland, O.-Colored girls have been placed as elevator operators in a large department store which formerly used men. The men were transferred to other jobs. Albany, Ga.-The payroll in the new Skywater Park Development is said to be $20,000. Negroes are doing practically all the work-skilled and unskilled. Brooklyn, N. Y.-The union man in charge of a small fur factory had consistently refused to accept colored apprentices. Recently he left and the owner refused to accept another union man unless he agreed to train colored apprentices. The Brooklyn Urban League has placed two colored boys with this firm. San Antonio, Tex.—A colored manager has been employed for a million dollar theatre in the Negro section. New York City—Four stenographers have been placed in a white office and openings made in other fields as a result of a campaign being made in Harlem by a John Committee, sponsored by the New York Urban League, to induce white enterprises to hire colored workers for positions which they are trained to fill.
