AUDITORIUM BOOTHS GO RAPIDLY "Houston Martyr's Day" Honored Here VOLUME II, NO. 41 JUDGE WILLIS IN EFFORT TO FREE 24 INFANTRYMEN Houston Martyrs Day Is Held by Local Branch of N. A. A. C. P. at Pilgrim Church. HEROISM OF SOLDIERS IS CITED BY SPEAKER Continued Imprisonment Called Unjust Because of Record of Good Conduct. "Houston Martyr's Day" was fittingly observed by appropriate services Sunday afternoon at Little Pilgrim Baptist church, under the auspices of the St. Paul branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Following the invocation by Rev. L. W. Harris, the speaker of the day, Judge John Willis was introduced by Attorney W. T. Francis. During the introductory remarks Attorney W. T. Francis spoke of the work and purpose of the N. A. A. C. P. Judge Willis, who is president of the local association, spoke briefly on the Armistice occasion before entering a defense plea for the men of the 24th infantry, now serving life sentences for participation in the Houston riot. The White American was scored by Judge Willis for failure to live up to its self-appointed superiority. If such were the case that the Negro in America would be given a helping hand instead of being the blunt of unfair prejudice, born out of ignorance. Pleas for Soldiers. Judge Willis then turned his discourse to the tople of the afternoon. The unjustices wreaked upon the soldiers stationed at Houston and the happenings leading up to the riot were cited. "I believe in law and order. When a man premeditates crime I have no sympathy for him, but these men, though they did wrong so far as law is concerned, are without doubt elegible to pardon. They have been the victims of southern prejudice and ignorance and if there in penalty to be paid they have fully atoned by their six years in confinement." The speaker then dwelt upon the fact that the warden at Leavenworth had personally recommended their release, but the influence of the South, whose objective is to treat the Negro in the severest way when a prisoner, had kept the authorities at Washington from acting in the soldiers' behalf. Valor of Negro. In commenting on the valor of the Negro soldier, Judge Willis said: "No time in American history when the nation's honor was at stake has the Negro failed to be an important factor. The cavalry men are perfectly drilled and well disciplined; the infantrymen are model soldiers. My experience has taught me that the American Negro soldier is the best fighter, best disciplined and most perfect of our nation's defenders." The speaker dwelled at length on the importance of giving unqualified support to such organizations as the N. A. A. C. P. and went on record as wishing for a local membership of 10,000 to help establish the principles of equality, justice and liberty for the race that the American flag represents. Judge Willis, who is also president of the St. Paul branch of the N. A. A. C. P., is one of the loyal friends of the race. His worth is beyond question and when more of the other group realize the importance of fairness as Judge Willis, a more rapid stride will be made toward race progress. As the time is growing near for the Business League Exhibition, which will be held at the Auditorium December 10 and 11, it is hoped that all will help the committee in charge make this affair the talk of the country, as they have secured one of the largest buildings in the Northwest. Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Jackson are stopping at the home of the latter's mother, Mrs. Geo. B. Lowe, 726 Sherburne avenue. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN ical Society Historical Bldg. Minnesota JUDGE JOHN W. WILLIS Who Spoke at Pilgrim Church on "The Houston Martyr's Day" Last Sunday. NEW POLITICAL LEAGUE FORMED FOR RACIAL AID Secretary Pro-tem, Says No Favoritism Will Be Shown to Party Activities. In response to the invitations sent out to all the professional and business men and to women heads of organizations throughout the city, the new political league got under way November 8, when they met at the residence of George C. Shannon, 1021 Colne street. This meeting was held for the purpose of organizing a political party that will best serve the interest of the colored Voters in this city, county and state. After discussion of the meeting and the purpose of the organization, George C. Shannon was elected temporary chairman and Attorney O. J. Smith temporary secretary. All officers are to be elected at the mass meeting when the organization is to be made permanent. Those officers are: Chairman, vice-chairman, secretary and assistant secretary and treasurer. Secretary Says. In giving this report of the meeting, Mr. Smith said: There has never been an organization here that served the interest of all the people and conducted along the line as advocated by Mr. Shannon, who was elected temporary chairman. An organization that knows no favoritism and entirely devoid of partiality, an organization concerned first and last in maintaining and with the vote of the people demanding the constitutional rights of our people and all people. It will be an organization of every race man and woman to which they may depend upon for fair, just and equitable political representation, and we call this public meeting for, and it merits the approval and interest of, every race man and woman. It will be independent in its activities and principles and not allied or comingled with any political group or party reserving unto itself the right to act as its principles dictate. No other political principle can or will be successful and it is for every man and woman to be present at this meeting and discharge their duty as race loving men and women and as citizens of this great commonwealth and the United States of America. Gigantic mass meeting will be held at St. James' A. M. E. church, corner Jay and Fuller streets, at 8:30 P. M., Thursday evening, November 22.

Dave and Tressie in Minneapolis Dave and Tressle played this week at the Seventh Street theater in Minneapolis and proved to be the biggest hit on the bill. Clever dancing, singing and the work of the "Syncopated Ginger Snaps" make this the premier act of the week. It is well gotten up and diversified enough to make the most severe audience set up and take notice. The company recently played in Bloomington, Ill. The following is taken from the Daily Paragraph of that city: "Dave and Tressle, two dancers, who perhaps have forgotten more about dancing than most dancers know, are introduced by their 'Syncopated Ginger Snaps.' A seven-piece colored jazz orchestra who play to perfection, while Dave presents a program of original steps, acrobatic dances and is assisted by Tressle, Dave says he loves to dance and that as long as the audience gives applause he shuffles a couple of dancing feet and by the way there was lots of new fancy didoes in dancing and applause too." The "Syncopated Ginger Snaps" referred to carries Stanley Williams, saxophone and leader; Anthony Paulding, piano; Porter LaMont, clarinet; Ed Williams, banjo; Jimmie Palo, saxophone; William Johnson, bass violin, and Raymond Greene, drums. GOVERNMENT TO SELL TOWN F. D. McCRACKEN HELD Truxton, Virginia, Passes From Race Control Into That of Whites. Portsmouth, Va., November 16.—The Federal government has decided to sell all its rights and interests in the town of Truxton to the highest bidder. Truxton, lying just beyond the city of Portsmouth, was built by the U. S. Housing Corporation for the housing of Negro war workers employed at the Norfolk navy yard at a cost of nearly two million dollars. Fred D. McCracken of St. Paul, Minn., was placed in charge as town manager and under his rare executive ability and guidance the town developed into one of the best managed housing projects in the country. Upon the resignation of Mr. McCracken in July, 1921, the management of the town was placed in the hands of the town manager at Cradock, a similar housing project for white people, and since that time the community has been on a downward grade. The unemployment situation played havoc with the Truxton residents and many of them have been compelled to give up their homes and at the present time nearly half of the houses are vacant. The beautiful school building, named in honor of former Town Manager Fred D. McCracken, the park, and the sewer, water and lighting systems will be taken over by the City of Portsmouth and the town will not pass into the hands of white investors. The Whist tournament held under the auspices of the Porters' and Walters' club has been a great success. The single event, which lasted a week, was finally decided on Monday, November 12. Mr. J. Baylum captured first place, E. D. Johnson, E. Shomon and Clint Johnson ranked second, third and fourth, respectively. Much interest is being taken in the play for the doubles championship. The entries in the doubles are paired as follows: Baylum and Shomon, Sumler and Johnson, Faulkner and Steele, Riley and Wilson, Preston and Johnson, Jackson and Davis, Tolson and Neville, Reed and Francis, Butler and Hammond, Clay and Mayo, Dixon and Cannon and Bowen and Boyd. $50.00 in prizes are to be awarded at the close of the tournament. Reverend Joseph T. Hill, orator, gospel singer, preacher and lecturer, pastor of Roanoke Baptist church, Hot Springs, Ark., will be at Pilgrim Baptist church, Cedar street and Summit avenue, Sunday, November 18. The noted minister will conduct three services during the day, at 11 A. M., 3 P. M. and 7:30 P. M. There will be special music at each service. At 11 o'clock Mrs. S. E. Hall will render folk numbers; 3 o'clock the double quartet will sing, and the evening services will hear the full choir. The public is invited. Urban League Secretary Gives Authentic Report on Housing Say Immigration Will Continue If Depression Does Not Stop the Labor Influx. Preliminary investigations of the migratory movement, which reached such enormous proportions in the year 1923, have been made by the St. Paul Urban league in order to determine the effect of this movement on the population of St. Paul. The investigations have not yet been completed but E. A. Carter, the secretary of the Urban league, asserts that the investigations have been carried far enough for certain facts to be determined and for certain predictions to be made concerning the future movement of colored people from the Southern States to the Northwest. Mr. Carter says in his preliminary report: "There has been a steady movement of Negroes to St. Paul for the past three years. They have been attracted by the liberal attitude of this section of the country in matters of race relationship, and by the possibility of employment which the great packing plants of South St. Paul have offered to them. This movement has not reached the volume which has been heretofore supported, but has been fairly steady and is continuing at the present time. The bulk of this movement has been composed of men, who have families remaining in the South, and who intend to send for these families as soon as they can find decent housing accommodations. Out of fifty families which have been studied on the West Side not more than three of them were natives of St. Paul and only six of them had lived in St. Paul over three years. The others are re- Mrs. Cordelja Winn, national field secretary of the Young Women's Christian association, is a guest at the Y. W. C. A. downtown during her stay in the city. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Wilson, who formerly resided at 661 West Central avenue, have taken an apartment over their new bakery which opened today. cent arrivals and have come to St. Paul from Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago and other cities of the Central West. To these cities they had invariably come from the Far South and so St. Paul receives the secondary migration rather than the primary." Housing Shortage As a result of the so-called influx into St. Paul there has developed a very severe housing shortage among colored people. On the West Side it has reached a serious condition and the housing in that section of the city is not only deplorable but a menace to the health and well being of the entire city. In order to house the newcomers, abandoned houses have been renovated and placed into condition which would serve as a shelter, and they are not much more than mere shelters. There is a large amount of overcrowding and not a few instances of violation of the housing code of the city. Into this section of the city there is a constant stream of newcomers with the result that the condition each day is being made more and more acute. The Urban league, through its housing committee, of which Mr. Fred D. McCracken is the chairman, will undertake at once to relieve this condition and to attempt to provide for the future. Measured by the experience of the Urban league in other cities and by the facts so far deduced in St. Paul there will be a tremendous increase in the Negro population in the next few years. This increase will come despite any abortive efforts to prevent it and unless there is a very serious industrial depression the movement will be in full swing in the spring of 1924. The Leslie Lawrence Post and the Ladies' Auxiliary will have their second annual Armistice Day sermon preached at Pilgrim Baptist church by Reverend L. W. Harris. Commander George Hamilton will be in charge. Mr. Lee Washington, well known produce man, is planning on opening his chicken shack some time in the near future. MINNESOTA MISTORICA SOCIETY PRICE: FIVE CENTS COMMITTEE PLAN FOR BIG CROWDS AT AUDITORIUM Second Annual Exhibition and Style Show Tentatively Set for December 10-11. 14-PIECE AUGMENTED BAND WILL GIVE MUSIC Public Urged to Support Men in Efforts to Put Over Best Affair in History. The committee of promotion of the St. Paul Negro Business league is asking the hearty support of their fellow businessmen and the public at large in their efforts to put over the Grand Exposition and Style Revue to be held at the St. Paul Auditorium two nights, December 10-11. Approximately 60 booths are available for exhibits and the majority have been taken by eager and enthusiastic merchants, who will display their wares during the two nights. The young ladies of the Popularity contest are setting an unprecedented pace, each eager to have a creditable display of supporters in the final count. The prizes offered by the businessmen warrant the most consistent efforts of the contestants. Young ladies either in Minneapolis or St. Paul desirous of entering the contest should immediately get in touch with the contest manager, Mrs. Geraldine Pickett, 408 Court Block, St. Paul. Big Attendance Expected. The committee has spared nothing to take care of the large crowds expected. The social side of the exhibition will be taken care of with the assistance of a 14-piece augmented band to furnish the dance program and music for the Style Revue. The Auditorium is the finest place in the city to give the exposition. A picture of the building will be found in the advertising section. The businessmen are deserving of the best support in their efforts to make this affair the most talked of in the history of the Northwest. Let us show real race pride which will lend much encouragement to the project. Keep the date in mind, December 10-11. Many Celebrate With Clef Club Many Celebrate With Clef Club The Twin Cities celebrated Armistice in grand style, having everything from football to fox trots. Many attended the football game in the morning and finished the day at the Armistice ball, given by the Minneapolis Clef club at the South Side Auditorium. This proved to be one of the most popular and well attended dances of the season and was on par, in every respect, with the Style Revue in October. Prizes were awarded to the neatest designed apron. The variety was so complete that the judges found difficulty in deciding the winner. Dave and Tressle and company were honorary guests of the Clef club for the occasion. Those who attended claim that Dr. Coue's theory works well with the Clef club's social life. Those responsible for the growing popularity of the organization are: Ben Berry, president; Chas. Williams, secretary; Al McDonald, treasurer; Mrs. Hester Keyes and Ernest Parker, check room; Mrs. Edith Moore, refreshments; J. W. Moore, advertising, and Thomas Roulette, musical director for Moore's Town Talk Band. HARRIET TUBMAN CIVIC LEAGUE SECURES LIGHTS Mrs. George Gooden, president of the Harriet Tubman Civic league, wishes to state that the large are light which was to have been placed at Kent and St. Anthony avenue was omitted unintentionally from the list of lights which were petitioned for by the league. Commissioner McDonald states that it will be taken care of immediately. This Civic league is responsible for lights erected from McKublin and University to Rondo street, and from St. Albans street to Victoria. They are endeavoring to see that the whole Eighth ward is well lighted. OWEN HOWELL Publisher AIMEE HALL Managing Editor S. QUAY HERNDON Associate Managing Editor GERALDINE PICKETT Circulation Mgr.

The protest of above the shrewdness of our political plums are going to be harder to s The One, Two and Three man cliques that have hithertofore been accepted as the "powers that be" either by self-appoint or by clique sanction, will face a new problem in maintaining supremacy when the "voice of the people" speaks in the coming national election. If there is any thought or anticipation on the part of the parties in power that they can fool their brothers again, we suggest a rapid change in sentiment. We have suffered the disadvantage of having such race leaders that come out with the time-worn saying, "I am working for the race; what I say is law. I am desirous of having capable race men fill positions of merit, but am unable to find them, so lest the importance of the place go lacking, I modestly suggest myself." They selfishly remark to themselves, "I can, with impunity, ask for a little expense money to round up a goodly supply of votes. I can sell my own people to undeserving and designing politicians, without any one becoming the wiser. All I have to do is make a grand stump speech or two and for another four years I am still among the 'powers that be.'" This is what we have faced for some time; greed and avarice from our race leaders and lack of interest, as to the race's welfare, by those of the other group. The time has arisen when all thinking Negro voters must act to save themselves from a new peril—the peril of having the race sold out by leaders from within. We have failed to secure justice for ourselves in the past. The fault can be charged as much to Uncle Tom leaders of our own, as to the governing force from without. Next year will see a revolution in the voting population. Those who have held the balance of power are threatened with defeat. The swinging axe is destined to cut keenly into the One, Two and Three man cliques. The money received from the sale of their people's birth right will not vindicate their former perfidy. New blood must be fused into the representation for the race. It is up to the voter to do this. We yet have men who have never hoisted the white flag and admitted defeat; who yet feel that the interest of the race is not to be bargained for as merchandise at auction—sold to the highest bidder and will not continue jeopardizing the interest by letting the other group think that the Negro vote can be bought, sold and exchanged by handing out their dirty political money to a few selfish race leaders. The protest of the people has been raised above the shrewdness of our political Barons and next year the election plums are going to be harder to shake. IT IS STRANGE comes to an opinion, held by some organizer only serves for free publicity and it. When anything is begun and additional organizations solicit the aid of the newspaper to give space to the success of it, it is a meritorius one. "For Charity" to give away space. We realize that and are prepared to serve our purpose, now an organization can solicit the new make an undertaking and then carry a 20-cent store job shop. There seems a newspaper must have jobs. We see. The newspaper man is just a hunter. His commodity is space. He must sit on that week. It is a very hard man toose, such as is expected by the new sort. Those organizations that sit with an article "for charity" are those store shop the advantage of earning sitting, when needed. The newspaper is needed again, then we get the grand mast "For Charity's Sake." If we are there is no consideration, we should be, when such is possible. Those who do job work to be done, we would like a paper prints cards, bills and other the revenue as well as Gives Away Space. There seems to be an opinion, held by some organizations, that the newspaper only serves for free publicity and rejects sources of revenue. When anything is begun and additional impetus is desired, these organizations solicit the aid of the newspaper. They expect the newspaper to give space to the success of the endeavor—and frequently it is a meritorius one. "For Charity's sake" the editor is asked to give away space. We realize that much is expected of us and are prepared to serve our purpose, but we cannot understand how an organization can solicit the newspaper for free space to help make an undertaking and then carry their printing to the 5 and 10-cent store job shop. There seems to be no realization that the newspaper must have paid jobs. We cannot exist and give free space. The newspaper man is just a human being like any one else. His commodity is space. He must sell it if there is to be an edition that week. It is a very hard matter to serve a definite purpose, such as is expected by the newspaper, without financial support. Those organizations that sit at the phone for ten minutes with an article "for charity" are those that give the 5 and 10-cent store shop the advantage of earning a bit of revenue from the printing, when needed. The newspaper is forgotten until its space is needed again, then we get the grand rush from those organizations "For Charity's Sake." If we are so necessary to serve when there is no consideration, we should be given an opportunity to earn, when such is possible. Those who cannot find us when there is job work to be done, we would like to remind them that a newspaper prints cards, bills and other things that bring necessary revenue as well as Gives Away Space. BRASS TACKS age race businessman is usually ready giving him the patronage he consider himself the question, "Can I give value to," or "Does my competitor have good half spoiled ones?" "Good Apples" be made applicable to any business. As to sell, it must be in condition that it setting his money's worth. This appress just as it does the other group. The average race businessman is usually ready to condemn his race for not giving him the patronage he considers due, without even asking himself the question, "Can I give value received to the trade I expect," or "Does my competitor have good apples to offer in place of my half spoiled ones?" "Good Apples" and "half spoiled ones" may be made applicable to any business. No matter what a firm expects to sell, it must be in condition that the buyer is satisfied he is getting his money's worth. This applies to the race man in business just as it does the other group. The public want assurance that what they buy is of a quality that will serve the intended purpose. When one seeks such quality he goes into a market where it is assured. The race buyer would rather purchase from his own business man when such is possible. Many of our business men have capitalized this racial sentiment to the extent that they expect to receive unqualified patronage under conditions that do not warrant it and feel they have been unjustly discriminated against when markets other than their own are selected. The race business man who doesn't provide adequate facilities and commodities cannot judiciously censure his fellow men for not responding to his call. One does not have to have a big shop, so far as side is concerned to give satisfactory service. A small cafe, well kept, a small grocery, always in order, and every other side of commercial activity correctly controlled, will secure patronage. No artificial stimulence is necessary for the race business to succeed. The race business man must learn to address Jim Smith, whom he has known for ten years, as Mr. Smith, while Mr. Smith is in the store. Over-familiarity on the part of employees to customers of the race, because they are such, must be supplanted by what is recognized in commercial world as "business courtesy." The race business man must "deliver the goods" to his customers just as other merchants. He must learn that quality, efficiency and business acumen are necessary for any business to succeed regardless of the man who operates it.

Second Manekin Revue Slated for Monday Eve Askin & Marine Company Announces That All Ladies Will Have Equal Chance. The Colored Red Sox ball team will give a dancing party and Style Revue at South Side Auditorium, Monday evening, November 19, 1923. Since the recent Style Show put on by Mrs. Edith Moore at the South Side Auditorium, there has been very noticeable demand for another Style display. While this will not be a Fashion Revue as put on by the Askin & Marine Company, the competition will be open to all present who desire to enter into the Revue contest. Mr. Moore has made arrangements for a very special program of music —some of the nicest and classiest numbers known to the better orchestras will be given. There will be a prize waltz and fox-trot, and special prizes for children under 12 years of age, in dancing competition. The same orderly conduct that prevailed at the recent Style Show will be repeated on this occasion and a most enjoyable evening is assured. There will be special decorations and stage settings to make the affair unique from every viewpoint. Attendance from both Minneapolis and St. Paul have been indicated by the interest shown in both cities. Mr. Moore and Mr. Brooks have received many complimentary reports and are much encouraged by the hearty cooperation being given. BIRTHDAY PARTY GIVEN FOR LOCAL MUSICIAN Mrs. J. T. Jones, 528 West Central avenue, gave a surprise party Saturday evening in honor of her husband's 26th birthday. The house was beautifully decorated with a pink and white color scheme. A large cake with twenty-six pink and white candles decorated the center of the table. Mrs. Victoria Page, 643 St. Anthony avenue, surprised the couple with twenty delicious chicken sandwiches. The evening was spent in dancing and card playing. A delicious repast was served to thirty guests, after which they departed at a late hour, wishing Mr. Jones many more happy birthdays. NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Alumni and "U" Gridders Tie in First Game A drizzling rain on Armistice Day failed to dampen the ardor of nearly four hundred football fans who gathered at Dunning field to witness the first clash of the season between High School Alumni and University men. Notwithstanding the fact that the teams were handicapped in their open field work by the condition of the field, several pretty passes were completed by both. Butler made a pass to Grissom in which the latter made a sensational catch that might have resulted in a touchdown had the field been dry. Captain Raymond Brown, passing for the High School boys and his general all-around playing and tackling was one of the outstanding features of the game and was ably assisted by Woodard and Walker. Butler starred for the U boys. Ruffner, who was late in arriving, proved a tower of strength on the High School line. "U" Penalized. The High men outclassed the U men in the first three quarters. U men came back strong in last frame and finally scored in the last minute play. First quarter: Alumni men return kick-off to their 35-yard line. Hoag off, tackled 2 yards. Second time failed to gain. Pass, Brown to Walker, gained 10 yards. Pass, Brown to Woodard, 11 yards. Three-quarter pass tried but incomplete, 5 yards gained through right end. U team was penalized three times for off side. During the first quarter the ball remained in the High men's hands. With pass at back and end runs the U men were completely out-guessed. At the end of the quarter the High School men were about 15 yards from goal. Second quarter: High rushed for a touchdown when the whistle blew. Woodard kicked goal for the additional point. Alumnes Score. U men received the kick-off but lost it on fumble. High unable to gain. After a series of plays, coupled with forward pass by Brown, High went over for a touchdown. With the ball in possession of High on the 35-yard line, the score at the end of the half was High 7, U 0. At the end of the third quarter High seemed to be on the march for another touchdown. A forward pass, Brown to Woodard, was intercepted by Chenault, who returned it 20 yards to the High 15-yard line. Here the High men braced and took the ball on downs. Brown punted but the University men were not to be denied. Fighting like demons, they smashed the High's line and sent several plays around the end. U took the ball to High's 3-yard line with thirty seconds to play. High braced and putting up a most sensational defense hurled the University men back three times. With the ball three inches from the goal line and less than ten second to play, Butler dashed around High's right end and over the goal line for a touchdown just as the whistle blew. With the game over and nothing but the try at goal left and the responsibility for defeat or a tie game resting upon his shoulders, Captain Stephens for the U men calmly booted the ball over the bars for the point that gave his men a tie. Referee Ransom says it was one of the cleanest and finest games he had ever witnessed.

In almost every little village there is a mystery. Sometimes it's a person, sometimes a house. Safety Harbor was no exception. It had Mrs. Semple. After ten months of Mrs. Semple's living in Safety Harbor, the townpeople knew just as much about her as when she first came, and they didn't know anything about her then. Bill Crosby, who had the building contract for Mrs. Semple's house, didn't even know what she looked like. His orders came from her lawyers. The house was a smallish one, but cozy and pretty; away from any neighbors, though. Everyone remarked at the time the lumber was hauled to the spot, what a far away place she had taken. But it was a pretty location; close to the beach, and nestling in a grove of young plains that overlooked the harbor and the sound. The day the house was finished Mrs. Semple came. Jim DeCosta drove her up, and he told all about her; said she was a mighty nice looking woman, but she had sad eyes. That was the most he had noticed about her—the sad eyes part. The Sunday after she arrived she appeared in church. She was dressed in quiet, dark clothes, but they were nice things. She evidently had money. Everyone welcomed her, and she seemed a friendly kind; but the funny part about her was that although she smiled with her mouth, her eyes were not smiling a bit. They were sad, just as Jim DeCosta had said. Of course that started folks talking, and wondering why her eyes were sad, but no one had the courage to pry into her affairs. As winter came on the women's clubs and societies began to have their meetings. Then there was the hospital work and the church work. Mrs. Semple was invited to everything. She was a willing worker, and a generous contributor to the funds. But somehow she didn't seem to enter heart and soul into things. She seemed to be trying to forget something—no one could find out what. She never spoke of her personal affairs. After quite a bit of hinting, they did find out that her husband had died a few years back, of tropical fever in South America. He had been in some kind of government work there. Outside of that, they found out nothing. Then Christmas week came. All the societies were busy with baskets for the new little hospital, and for the Mariners' hospital, and with comfort bags for the Seamen's Bethel, Safety Harbor being quite a place for ships to come in out of the storms that rampage outside. Safety Harbor, in its younger days, was quite a whaling port, anyway, but now most of the old houses of the whaling skippers belong to summer people. Mrs. Semple contributed a lot of money toward the work the societies were doing, but she seemed to do more for the Mariners' hospital and the Seamen's Bethel than anything else. The funny part of it was that she would never go near either place. Sometimes the clubwomen would go over to the Bethel, when there were some boats in, and would give little entertainments for the boys. Mrs. Semple would never do anything like that. She always had a headache when the time came. Christmas eve the Patriotic club had planned to go to the Bethel. There were a lot of boats in that had been held up by the storms. The club women all debated whether they should ask Mrs. Semple to go or not. "Well," said Martha Greene, "she never goes when we ask her, and I don't believe in wasting my breath." Then some one said she might feel hurt if she didn't get asked. "I think we should ask her," spoke up May Alden. May was the youngest member of the club, and there wasn't a sweeter, nicer girl in the village. Mrs. Semple liked May, too, and they knew that If May couldn't get her to go, no one could. So May went over to ask Mrs. Semple. When she came back she seemed quieter than usual, but she said Mrs. Semple would go, and would be glad to play her 'cello for the boys. Every one was surprised, of course, but glad she would help out. No one knew she could play a 'cello. Christmas eve came, sparkly clear and frosty. The stars looked as though they had just been shined, and the little covering of snow glistened like diamond dust. On the way to the Bethel every one was laughing and talking so that no one noticed how quiet Mrs. Semple was. She and May were talking together. At the door of the Bethel, a little vine-cored cottage, down by the wharf, Mr. Ward, the chaplain, was welcoming every one. Inside everything was all trimmed with green and crepe paper and holly. Over in the corner was the Christmas tree, loaded with the comfort bags and candy. There were about 45 men there—a good many young fellows. All the chairs were filled and some of the fellows were sitting on the magazine tables that were pushed back against the wall. There was a little cleared space around the piano, and that was where all the entertainers sat. Mr. Ward said a few words to the men, asking them to help out in the singing when they were asked, and then the program began. There was a piano solo first, by Mrs. Randal. She played nicely, too. Then Rose Preston sang a solo; she has a lovely voice. Mrs. Semple was to play her 'cello next. She seemed nervous at first, but after she began to play she got over it. The 'cello made quite a hit among the men, so she played again. It was that piece, "Absent," that she played; it's beautiful, but it's sad, too. Everything was as quiet as a tomb when she played. It was enough to bring tears to anyone's eyes, the way she played it. Right in the middle of it, the door opened ever so quietly, and a young man came in. He stood there for a moment, listening. His face was as white as a sheet, and his big, black eyes were staring at Mrs. Semple as if he saw a ghost. Just then Mrs. Semple looked up from her 'cello, and caught sight of the boy—he wasn't any more than that. She stopped playing as quickly as if she had been suddenly changed into a wooden figure, and her face got white, too, and her big, black eyes stared back at that boy. "Dick!" she whispered, with tears in her voice. "Mother!" sald the boy, holding out his arms and stumbling forward. Then everyone began to talk at once, and laugh, to hide their tears. Mrs. Semple stopped the noise herself. With her arm around the boy, she told what it all meant. Tears glistened on her cheeks, but her voice was as happy as any mortal's could ever be. "Oh, everyone! I want you to know how happy Dick and I are tonight!" she began. Then she fold her son had gone to sea on a freight boat; there had been a collision one ice night, with many of the crew lost. Her son had been among those who were missing. Then her son took up the story. He was a dark-halred boy, who looked just like his mother. Big black eyes, fine cut features, and the same low-voice. He had drifted for days in a lifeboat. When he was picked up his memory had died in that terrible experience, and since dead men tell no tales, there was no one to identify the lifeboat and its one living seaman. In hope of meeting someone who knew him, or of going some place he would recognize, he went tow-boating. That was the first time he had ever been into Safety Harbor. He was on his way to the news store to get a newspaper when he had heard the 'cello playing, and at somehow stirred up his memory. When he heard that favorite piece of his, "Absent," his memory began to return, and he came into the Bethel, where he found his mother. She said afterward that she never had believed her son was dead, even after she had looked for him everywhere and never found him. That was why she wanted to be where she could watch the ships come in. She said she felt that he would come back to her. Faith does a lot sometimes. CUT AIR FRICTION ON TRAINS Railroads Reduce Coal Cost by the Use of Planes on Their Locomotives. For many years attempts have been made to get rid of a part of the resistance which a railway train encounters in rushing through the air, says the Washington Star. It is easy to understand that the pressure on the front of a swiftly moving locomotive, which equals the force of a strong gate of wind, can only be overcome by an expenditure of energy greater than would otherwise be required to run the train. If that pressure could be removed, or considerably decreased, less coal would have to be burned. Experiments to diminish the pressure were begun many years ago, and in some cases a practical outcome has been reached. One plan adopted is very simple, and involves inclined planes attached to the fore end of the engine in such a way that instead of a square front it presents to the air a sharp prow, like that of a ship. It might be thought that little would be gained in this way, but repeated trials have shown that in some cases as much as 10 or 12 per cent can thus be saved in the consumption of coal, and the average saving amounts to about 5 per cent. This is so important an item that a large number of locomotives on one system have been fitted with the device. When the wind is blowing directly in the face of the engine the resistance to be overcome is, of course, much increased, and the value of a prow-shaped front is proportionately greater. In some of the experiments it was shown that by the combined effects of placing inclined planes in front and filling up the spaces between the spokes of the wheels, one-half of the air resistance could be done away with. How He Answered. A man of considerable position and importance confesses, with a merry twinkle in his eye, to a serious blow to his reputation from an unexpected quarter. His small son returned from school and confronted his father with the question, "Father, what are you?" "What am I, my boy? Why do you ask?" "Well, father," was the reply, "Jenkins came up to me in the dinner hour and said, 'What's your father?' "And what did you say?" asked his father. "I didn't say anything," answered the boy. "I just hit him."—Tit-Bits. SHORT CUTS (Lincoln Service) Bethel A. M. E. church, at Buffalo, N. Y., has a basketball team. If you are a book-lover, get yourself a bank book. Statistics indicate that more whites than Negroes die of sleeping sickness. The League of Colored Republican Clubs of Illinois is to be re-organized, revivified and recapitalized. A number of progressive New York City colored business men have organized a soft drink bottling corporation. The Eagle Coal Company of Montgomery, W. Va., has been successfully mining and shipping coal in carload quantities for several years. Colored men in St. Paul in an effort to finance the home-buying activities of their local group have organized a building-and-loan association. A Washington audience composed of colored people recently hissed an orchestral rendition of that old familiar ballad, "I Wish I Was in Dixie." Colored females outnumber the males in Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Kan., Los Angeles, Louisville, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Richmond, Va., San Antonio and Washington. The Empress aoditou, the beautiful brownskin daughter of the famous Emperor Meneilik, bears on her breast the cross that must be worn by every Abyssinian ruler, as a sign of fidelity to the Lord Christ. In Birmingham and Nashville there are 184 colored illiterates to each group of 1,000 colored persons 10 years of age and over. On the same basis, Atlanta has 178; New Orleans and Wilmington, Del., 157; Memphis, 156; Louisville and Richmond, 149 each, and Norfolk, 139. There are 88 Negro farmers per 1,000 of their racial population as compared with 58 white farmers per 1,000 white inhabitants. These colored farmers operate land in farms equal to 2.2 per cent of the total land area of the United States, and if the land occupied by them was placed acre to acre it would form a belt about two and a half miles wide that would encircle the earth at its widest circumference. MUSICIANS URGED TO LIST WITH BILLBOARD (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Nov. 10.—Have you a band or an orchestra in your town? J. A. Jackson of the editorial department of The Billboard, 1493 Broadway, N. Y., wishes to know. Will you tell him? Mr. Jackson is also a contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press. For a number of years Mr. Jackson has been gathering statistics of various activities within the group; they have been of great service to the general public. This year, because of the nation-wide interest in instrumental music, Mr. Jackson has undertaken the task of getting statistics on colored bands and orchestras. These will include professional, military, school, church and private organizations. There have never been any statistics gathered on this subject, and it would afford a nice little prize contest for the newspapers to guess how many there are in America. The results will no doubt be an agreeable surprise. DRUG SUSPECT GOES FREE-ON TECHNICALITY William R. Jones, Pullman car porter, who faced trial on charges which carry punishment of five years in prison, went free today on a technicality. Jones was accosted at a Minneapolis railroad station by a Federal narcotic drug agent and a Minneapolis city detective, who were hunting narcotic drug smugglers operating between Canada and the United States. The agent searched Jones, according to witnesses, and in a small grip he found twenty-six ounces of narcotic drugs, valued at $26 an ounce. When the case came to trial it was shown the agent searched Jones without a warrant. If the city detective had done the searching, the act would have been legal, it was said. United States district Judge William A. Cant dismissed the case. Send Us Your Clothes! THE NEW HOTEL HOWELL THE HOUSE FOR RENT Mrs. O.

THE WHATNOT COLUMN By Robert P. Edwards (For the Associated Negro Press) 61. Who was Salem Poor? The following report was submitted to the Honorable General Court of the Massachusetts Bay by 14 officers of the Patriot Army, dated Cambridge, December 5, 1775, ie. "The subscribers beg leave to report to your Honorable House, which we do in justice to the character of so brave a man, that, under our own observation, we declare that a Negro man called Salem Poor, of Col. Frye's regiment, Capt. Ames' company, in the late battle at Charleston, behaved like an experienced officer, as well as an excellent soldier. We would only beg leave to say, in the person of this said Negro centers a brave and gallant soldier. The reward due to so great and distinguished a character we submit to the Congress. 62. What was the title of the first race newspaper published on this continent? In 1827 the first newspaper published on this continent by colored men was issued from its office in New York. It was called "Freedom's Journal," and had for its motto, "Righteousness Exalteth a Nation." Its editors and proprietors were Messrs. Cornish & Russworm. Its name was subsequently changed to "The Rights of All," Mr. Cornish probably retiring, and in 1830 it was suspended, Mr. Russworm going to Africa. 63. Were American Negro soldiers ever in combat with German soldiers prior to the recent war? Scribner's History (1897) referring to the battle of Rhode Island, says of Varnum's Brigade, "None behaved better than Greene's colored regiment, which three times repulsed the furious charges of veteran Hessians (Hesse, Germany)." Williams says, "The black regiment was one of three that prevented the enemy turning the flank of the American army. These black troops were doubtless regarded as the weak spot of the line, but they were not." 65. What was the "Anglo-African?" SCARCITY OF COLORED Of the 35,442 colored persons who follow the profession of teaching public schools in the United States, 29,189 are women, and 94 of these women have reached the age of 65 years and over. It is surprising to note the scarcity of colored stenographers in the United States. There are only 2,310 of these, of which 1,970 are women. Of the bookkeepers there are 2,284 colored, with 1,611 females. Perhaps that last driver of the taxi you used was too reckless and careless. Call a woman taxi driver. You know there are 113 females among the 38,573 colored people doing this kind of work in the country. Or if you are entertaining special preferences for women, you can have colored females build your new house, with the exception of the plumbing and gas-fitting. There are in the United States 34 colored women who are designers, 3 brick and stone masons, 26 carpenters, 3 plasterers, 8 painters, glaziers and varnishers and 11 paper-hangers. After it is finished you might have it insured by any one of the 447 colored female insurance agents. That stubborn and unsightly stone ledge which obscures your view of the street. Remove it. How? That's simple! Just engage one of the 8 colored women, who work in powder and dynamite factories to blow it up for you. Mrs. Susan B. Evans, state president of the Colored Women's Federated Clubs, left for Minneapolis to be the guest of the Mary B. Talbert club for Sunday and to give an address.

Chaney left for Minneapolis, where they will be the house guests of Mrs. Chaney's mother for two weeks. Messrs. Joseph Byrd and H. Jones who have been playing in Hibbing, are spending a week in the city before leaving for the winter. Mr. Byrd is an experienced trap drum player and Mr. Jones the greatest saxophone player in the Northwest. Mr. W. B. Brown of Gary, New Duluth, left for Chicago on his motorcycle. Mr. Brown will stop in several cities in the South and East, returning in the spring. WINS WALK RACE Philip Granville; who recently came to New York from Hamilton, Canada, surprised the 15,000 track fans at MacCoomb's Dam Park on Saturday, October 27, by winning the seven-mile walk title from Willie Plant and a large field of contenders. Granville has been in competition only eight months and was making his first appearance in New York. He has also won the five and ten-mile walking championships of Canada and is the first colored athlete to win the championship in this event. In the race on Saturday, Granville alternated in setting the pace with Mike Feketo of the Pastime A. C. until the final lap. He then corked a sprint that Feketo could not follow and won by ten yards. Willie Plant, the defeated champion, was off form, due to a recent illness, and could only finish third. Granville, who is a native of the British West Indies, will be seen in action at many of the indoor meets here this winter. Granville is being hailed as the next Olympic walking champion. According to E. J. Webb, the veteran British walker, who won Olympic honors for Great Britain, Granville will be the next Olympic champion. Webb says that he never saw an athlete attain such good walking form as rapidly as Granville has since last February. He is far better than George Goulding was at the same stage of his career and will be twice the walker he is now when the Paris Olympier come along next July. He will represent Hamilton, Canada, at the Olympic games in Paris, should he be successful in making the team. From the present outlook, it appears that the Negro race will have at least two or three representatives at the Olympiad. DeHart Hubbard will be on the team and Gourdin, Earl Johnson and Charles West may also be members. A movement is on foot in Minneapolis to start a Negro Business league. A progressive North Side man is planning on forming a corporation which will embark in business. Mr. Howard Curry, who has been confined to Eltel hospital on account of his recent injuries, will return home this week. The Willing Workers of St. Peter's A. M. E. Church held their regular meeting with Mrs. Cornelius, 3814 Fourth avenue south. Much business was transacted and formulated for a silent social. Father A. H.

Somebody is going to undertake to pick an all-star football team pretty soon, and I would like to give a few names in the way of a suggestion. Right here and now I must admit any team, whether I pick it or not, must include Gunn of Hampton, Donegyh and Peyton of Howard. I'll give some one else a chance to pick the rest. Maybe Fay has some suggestions, who can tell? SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN New Activities in Political Plans Senators Promise "Senatorial Courtesy" Based on Racial Prejudice. (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Nov. 10. President Coolidge wrote a notable letter on the occasion of the recent dedication of the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt in New York. The letter has the ring of old-fashioned patriotism, and the President had the courage, in the midst of it, to have it understood that when he spoke of the enforcement of law, justice and a square deal, he meant that the rules should be applied, without regard to "race, color or creed." He said so in so many words. The country has not been accustomed in recent years to definitely know just whether the fine spun expressions of presidents were inclusive or exclusive of a tenth portion of the national population. In his silent, quiet way, the President is going about the task of Chief Executive, dropping a little suggestion here and there that is having rather interesting effect on the program of reasoning out racial salvation in the good old U. S. A., so far as Colored America is concerned. Mr. Coolidge is putting potential candidates for the White House office, if not on the defensive, certainly on the alert. It does beat all how successful the President has been in keeping loud criticism from his door, while his Field Marshals have been working night and day to steer the unorganized sentiment that will have its climax at the Republican National Convention in Chicago next year, concentrated on the Favorite Son of Massachusetts and New England. Walter L. Cohen's name is to come up for confirmation before the United States Senate, when it meets in December. Will it go over? There is every reason to believe that it will go over, that is to say, if Democratic Senators from the South wish any favors they might ask to go over. Cohen, who is one of the active men of the old school of politics, is now before the august body for consideration the third time. The late President Harding saw to that, even sending his name in for a recess appointment after the Senate had once voted it down, largely on the ground of "Senatorial Courtesy." Numbers of Republican senators have openly declared that "for the last time," they have listened to the bunk of "Senatorial Courtesy" when it is quite obvious that race prejudice is at the bottom of the whole thing. Washington Begins to Stir. Washington now takes on new signs of life. The old atmosphere of activity has begun to spread. With Congress opening next month, and the message from the Chief Executive, the lid will be off; the fight for position will be on. In fact, it is on now, but everybody is going "sorter quiet like," as they say in Indiana. The smoke screen of seeming inactivity is hiding a multitude of political wires that are now being pulled with a warmth that stirs the blood. For example, the Hon. Albert D. Lasker, former chairman of the United States Shipping Board, and a distinguished business man of Chicago, has just closed a few days' sojourn here that means to all intents that Senator Hiram Johnson will be in the Presidential running. Emisaries from the administration strongholds gathered about the former chairman, who is known as a huge dynamo of aggressiveness, and reasoned with him on the danger, to say nothing of the futility of sponsoring Senator Johnson. But none of these things seem to have moved Mr. Lasker from his original intention of yanking the California Senator from the hill, and giving him a four-year residence on the "tother" end of the avenue. Adding to this is a story from the chief Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, owned by the McCormick family, but not by the Senator, stating that Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois may support Senator Johnson for President, and that if the Senator from California does not permit his name to be enbranchisement and representation of all the people, wherefore, we respectfully petition the Republican National Committee to reconsider said reduction of the representation from Mississippi and the other Southern states and restore our former rightful, just and equitable quota of 20 delegates which were ours prior to the convention of 1916." Gibbs is playing with the Chicago Yellow Cab squad, who met our own "Bill" Bottoms' squad out on the South Side. "Bill's" bunch sent Gibbs home in an ambulance all broken up. It won't be long before the basketball crowd will be taking the honors from the colleges with their brilliant backs and powerful elevens. Intersectional games on a larger scale will be in vogue this season and the Middle Eastern towns can look for the best teams.

Remember the Date December 10-11 FOOTBALL, THE COUNTRY OVER The Lineman (By the Associated Negro Press) Marshall, Texas—The Wiley Wildcats sent the Texas Tyler squad into their hole with a 20 to 6 defeat last week. There is a great deal of doubt in the minds of those who saw the game as to whether there has ever been one better. Coach Gordon, a former Talladega star, who led the Tyler eleven in their battle with the Wildcats, feels that his team is going to wreck the hopes of many of the Southern Conference elevens. The game was remarkable for the number of off tackle rushes made. This seems to be one of the principle plays of the Tyler team and promises to put some team on the short end of the score. Baker, Ford and Redwine carried off the honors for Tyler, while Orange's brilliant leadership brought the Wildcats out victorious. Atlanta, Ga.—Atlanta University trounced the Tennessee State team here last week, 12 to 0. Tennessee played a brilliant game throughout the quarters. The visitors were up against a powerful line and backs bested. It is very true that the Tennessee team had a well developed aerial offensive, coupled with powerful kicking. With all of these points in their favor, they were not able to place the oval behind the posts. Williams of Atlanta started the scoring with a touchdown in the first quarter. The second was made by Yates, in the third quarter. There was so much improvement in the playing of the home team that the coming game with Virginia Union on the 10th is sure to be a hot contest. Fisk is scheduled to take a dose of the Atlanta line on the 17th. Petersburg, Va.—With all the prominent Big 10 schools holding annual Homecomings, the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute has decided to adopt this same idea and will inaugurate it on the day of the Virginia Union game. This is to be a big day in the lives of the alumni, who are invited to attend this game and make the occasion one long to be remembered in the minds of those who come. The first of these games, or rather Homecoming Day, is to be held on November the 17th. This day will also commemorate the opening of the College Department. It is hoped that every alumnus and former student will become familiar with this department and boost its activity. Along with this mighty step taken by the Institute, goes the physical department which has been improved and enlarged upon. Members of the Alumni Association, former students everywhere, your Alma Mater calls. November the 17th is the day for your answer. Washington, D. C.—Howard slipped a goose-egg to the Morehouse Huskies in a spectacular game at the American League Park to the tune of 10 to 0. The score was secured by a drop-kick by Doneghy, captain and left halfback. He also score a touchdown and extra point. The game was hard fought and scrappy. The visitors came prepared for everything but had to set back on account of the excellent field work of Howard. Two of Howard's best took the count in the final quarter. Contee, right halfback and "Speed" Johnson, right end, were both taken out on account of injuries. One of the main causes for the Morehouse defeat was not that they played a poor game, but that the Howard squad was well trained on the defense and were able to counterplay all of the visitors' important moves. This made the Howardites put on all steam to continue their winning and adding a fourth straight victory. Greenwood—A large gathering of our people and numerous persons of the other race were the happy witnesses of the first race game to be played here. Allen University of Columbia and Morris College of Sumter clashed in a hot contest. When the smoke cleared, Columbia was on the long end of the 13 to 0 score. This game was one of the chief attractions at the Piedmont fair. BRASS BAND AND EATS AS TONSORAL SHOP OPENS (By the Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Nov. 10.—A barber shop, catering to colored trade exclusively, has been opened here by Pink Allen with six chairs, hot and cold baths, a manicurist and all that goes to make it the finest in the South. The opening was a little out of the ordinary, spaghetti, cakes and twenty one dollar bills being presented to the first customers. In addition a brass band furnishes music, and Capt. N. McNeal of the Salvation Army spoke on law observance and personal purity. It is the finest colored business place in the city, and compares, if not equals, many of the white shops as regards sanitary arrangements.

(By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Nov. 17.—The November elections are over; and the chief statisticians are figuring out percentages. While they are on the job, the administration, in the term of the President, is preparing to make some political announcements that will set the folks to talking, according to the best information. Do not let any one tell you that properly directed protests and organized determination do not get a hearing. There are those who do not wish to admit the fact, but they certainly get a hearing; and such is being demonstrated in Washington now. There has been no subject more seriously discussed in the high councils of political endeavor than this: "What will Colored America do in the elections of 1924?" That is the big question. There has never been in American political history a campaign such as the 1924 contest promises to be. That is true for many reasons, so far as the racial constituency is concerned. In the first place, the Harding Republican administration got away with a disappointing start. The high hopes, and lofty prayers; the songs of faith and the visions of Utopia were practically all dissipated by the hand of time. Passing the "Buck." Pet offices, such as Register of the Treasury and Minister to Haiti and other Presidential offerings were forthcoming not. The Church-Johnson-Howard-Cohen combination held an "executive session" immediately following the inauguration, and actually picked out various individuals for scores of anticipated places. The President, Will Hays, later Chairman Adams, Senators, Congressmen and others were visited with the hope of bringing these things to pass. For a long time, the only thing that was brought to pass was "the buck." That passed from one degree of eminence to another until finally a showdown was forced on Henry Lincoln Johnson's appointment as Recorder. This showdown left the irrepressible colonel sitting high and dry. A switch was made to William C. Matthews for the Recorder job, and the President, after due consideration, made up his mind, and frankly admitted to all, that he intended to appoint a West Virginian, and it was Arthur G. Froe. Walter Cohen's case came up three times, and is still pending as a recess appointment. Hurry up—Have you reserved your space yet for the Business League Exposition? Don't delay as reservations are going fast. The fair city across the river will hold sway the first night as Monday will be Minneapolis night; Tuesday will be St. Paul night. A few of those who have made early reservations are Morris Drug Co., Quality Hat Shop, Poro Beauty Parlor, Prezella Jackson Hair Dressing, Fred D. McCracken Realtor, Madame Van Hook Modiste, Cosmopolitan Grocery, M. A. Johnson, service man; Mrs. Lillian Burris, milliner; Theodore Hardy, toilet articles; The Helper and a number of others.

Buckner has been with the team for a number of years in spite of the many changes made in the management of the team.

(By the Associated Negro Press) Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 17.—The Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist church expended over a million dollars in 1923 for new buildings, improvements, repairs, additions to the equipments, purchases or payment on new property and in the current expenses of the schools, according to the annual report of the board made public today by the corresponding secretaries at 420 Plum street, Cincinnati, Ohio. This is the first time in the 57 years of the history of the board that its expenditure has reached one million dollars. The board has 19 schools for Negro education with 460 officers and teachers and 6,840 students. The object of the board is to provide a Christian leadership that shall bring intelligence, morality and spirituality as the uplift motive of the Negro people. At Morristown, Tenn., during the year, plans, specifications and contracts were made for three new buildings at Morristown Normal and Industrial College; a dormitory for boys, dormitory for girls and a dining room and kitchen. This entire outfit, including furnishings, will cost $150,000. The city of Morristown, Tenn., contributed $10,000 towards these buildings. The school work for the Negro children of the city is done by this institution. The Thrkfield Hall at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., is nearing completion. At Meridian, Miss., a house and lots are being purchased and will be used as a teachers' residence. Three houses and lots are being purchased for Rust College at Holly Springs, Miss. A new site of 42 acres for Philander-Smith College is being purchased at Little Rock, Ark. The Meharry Medical College has received a donation of $100,000 for the enlargement of the hospital and the increase of its equipments and also a guarantee of $15,000 per year for five years toward the current expenses of the school. More than half of all the colored physicians of the United States and a considerable number of dentists, pharmacists and trained nurses were students in Meharry Medical College. "One of the notable evidences," says Dr. Penn, "is the raising of the Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., to 'Class A' among educational institutions." The school property of the Board of Education for Negroes has increased from two and one-half million to four million dollars. The Flint-Goodridge Hospital and Nurse Training School at New Orleans, La., serves a Negro constituency of over a million. The corresponding secretaries, Rev. P. J. Maveety and I. Garland Penn, report that a large number of the teachers have taken post graduate work in the summer terms at Chicago and New York. The report says: "As a rule the libraries of our schools are poor. These must be provided for with more up-to-date books, not only books of reference, but such standard works as are called for by modern scientific teaching and pedagogy." There will be a Grand Bazaar held at Camphor M. E. church, November 27, 28, 29, ending up with a Thanksgiving dinner. Many prizes will be given away. Lots of fun and activities.—Adv. Mrs. Ethel Lowe Green, ,726 Sherburne avenue, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Lowe, is at the Ancker hospital and will be operated on soon. STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Rancho cay, Prolific Court.
