Y., March 10.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, announces the opening of its drive for a quarter of a million members, the greatest massing of colored people and their white friends against discrimination ever seen in the United States. The heads of the association and the executive officers are distributed among the various states and sections and the drive is beginning simultaneously everywhere with local mass meetings. In the South, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, and William Pickens, former dean of Morgan College and now field secretary of the association, are getting the drive under way. In the Middle West, James Weldon Johnson, the national secretary, and Walter F. White, assistant secretary, together with Mrs. A. W. Hunton, are addressing meetings and responding to the calls for organization among colored people. In the Far West, Mary White Ovington, chairman of the board of directors, is on a lecture tour and will devote her efforts especially to the work in California. The executive work in the national office in New York is in charge of the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, formerly of Detroit, who has become director of branches of the association. Every means is being used in the drive to make it known to the public. Publicity committees are being formed to keep in touch with local newspapers, white and colored. Automobile committees are formed and members are to be canvassed by telephone. The local drives are in charge of colonels, who appoint their majors, captains and lieutenants where the population is large enough to warrant. in branches of over 1,000 members there is to be an additional major for each 1,000 members, and the majors appoint their subordinate officers. Roughly, the captains are responsible for 100 members and the lieutenants for 10 members. Constant mass meetings everywhere in the country are to be held in the progress of the drive and the national office is to receive reports of the growth of membership. Reports will be sent out from the national office at short intervals announcing the status of the campaign. In addition to the motor squadrons which will consist of automobile owners willing to furnish transportation in the drive, there is to be a speakers' bureau which will co-operate with the churches and other public bodies in furnishing speakers. In connection with the drive for a quarter of a million members, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces the following program: Program for 1921 1—Anti-lynching legislation by congress. 2—Abolition of segregation in the departments at Washington. 3—Entrenchishment of the Negro in the South or reduction of South- ern representation, if necessary. 4—Restoration of Haitian in dependence and reparation, as far as possible for wrongs committed there by the American administration, through congressional investigation of both military and civil acts of the American occupation. 5—Presentation to the new president of a mammoth petition of, say, 10,000,000 bonh fide signers, collected by the various branches, requestink the pardon of the soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry imprisoned at Leavenworth on the charge o f frieting at Houston, Texas. 6—The abolition of Jim-crop cars in interstate traffic. 7—Treatment of colored men in the navy.

N. A. A. C. P. OPPOSED TO RACE HOSPITAL IN CLEVELAND Argue that Such an Institution Would Trend Towards Separate Schools and Segregation in Other Respects. CLEVELAND, O., March 10.—The Cleveland branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is unalterably opposed to a separate hospital in Cleveland for colored people on the ground that it would be the opening wedge for segregation of the races, William R. Green, president of the Cleveland branch, announced recently. Plans for such a hospital have been formulated by the Cleveland Hospital Association, an organization of colored physicians, and are awaiting indorsement by the welfare federation. The hospital would be known as the Lincoln Memorial hospital. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has 3,000 members in Cleveland, all of whom are opposed to a separate hospital," Mr. Green said. "At a meeting of the Cleveland branch Tuesday night resolutions were adopted disapproving the idea. "If we have separate hospitals for white and colored, why not separate schools? And if separate schools, why not Jim Crow cars? The trend from a separate hospital would be towards segregation in other respects, and we do not want segregation in Cleveland. "The advantages from a separate hospital that would accrue to colored physicians and colored nurses would be far outweighed, in our opinion, by the harm that would result." ANTI-VICE CAMPAIGN (By the Associated Negro Press) PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 10. Raids in the disreputable districts among the colored people are being continued by the council's public-safety committee. At the beginning the colored people, as a whole, were inclined to discredit the campaign of the committee, but now appear to be reconciled to the program of "making the city safe," because the campaign has not been wholly confined to the Negro sections, but is being carried into all the neighborhoods where the criminal elements have been found carrying on their depredations. SEGREGATION SIGNS RAPIDLY DISAPPEAR (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, March 10—Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson states that in accordance with the campaign pledges that all segregation signs in the various departments would be taken down before "sundown on March 4," he asked for special representatives to bestir themselves and lootte some of the said signs. After a long and faithful look, it was discovered that the democrats evidently "smelled a rat," for the "specials" returned without finding a sign anywhere. There are no segregation signs in Washington under the new administration. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor PLANNING FOR LARGE DEPARTMENT STORE (By the Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO. Marc b10.—A quarter of a million dollar drive with a million dollars as an ultimate end is the milk in the cocoanut of a vigorous campaign now being conducted by the Progressive company, a Negro corporation of this city. A big, modern department store has been planned, ground purchased to be the site of a $150,000 building and a $200,000 stock of merchandise are included in the general designs of this company to establish the first genuine department store among the colored people in this country. Chicago has been "zoned" by the organization and clubs set up in the several sections, which have already raised enough of the money needed for the preliminary work of purchasing the site for the proposed building and the preparation of the large corps of heads of departments and clerks that will be used when the big store is opened to the public. Stock is now being sold at a rapid rate and the projectors are very confident that the building operations of the company will be started before the year is ended. C. H. Turner is the president of the company and W. A. Bryant is the treasurer. Both of these men are popular and enjoy a wide acquaintance in the business and church work in Chicago. WOULD ESTABLISH (By the Associates, Negro Press) CLEVELAND, O., March 10—Dr. Joseph T. Thomas, president of the Cleveland Hospital Association, is organizing a Lincoln Memorial hospital, which is to provide hospital attention for the colored sick of this city.

The governor offered rewards of $500 each for the first three convictions on the burning charge and the same amounts for the first three convictions of persons who broke into the jail. The Athens Ministerial Association in resolutions adopted demands an investigation of the entire affair, including responsibility of the officers having the Negro in custody. Eberhardt was accused of the murder of a white woman. Dr. Plato Durham, dean of the theological department of Emory University, and the Rev. M. Ashby Jones, Atlanta, conferred with Governor Dorsey for several hours on February 26 regarding the mob action. No statement was given out, but it was reported that the governor soon would ask for a special session of the Clark grand jury to investigate the storming of the jail and for another grand jury investigation in Oceane county, where the Negro was taken and burned. A THENES, Ga., March 10.—Demands of the Ministerial Association of ANNUAL MEETING NATIONAL BY the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, March 10.—The twentieth annual meeting of the National Negro Press Association was held in the library of Dunbar High school March 2 and 3. The session was under the direction of J. Finley Wilson, first vice president, who presided in the absence of the president, Chris J. Perry of the Philadelphia Tribune, who is confined to a hospital. There were over fifty editors and newspaper representatives present from various parts of the country. The subject of advertising was discussed with special interest. The association members were entertained at Howard University at luncheon. Dr. Emmet J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university, acted as host of the occasion. Prior to the luncheon the visitors were introduced to the faculty and student body in the chapel. The association was invited by A. L. Every Home Athens for investigation of the storming of the jail here Wednesday night, February 16, and subsequent burning of a Negro near here were followed promptly by denunciations of the crime by David C. Barrow, chancellor of the University of Georgia, and Andrew J. Cobb, formerly a justice of the state supreme court. "This is a country where we depend for safety on law," Chancellor Barrow declared in an address to the student body. "The fawless acts of certain citizens Wednesday night must make each of us fear for the future of our country." He added that information pointed to the Negro's guilt of murder, but, he deplored the mob's act. After declaring that "the life of an excellent woman has been deatroys by a flend," former Justice Cobb asserted in a signed statement that the Negro burned was not shown to be guilty and asserted that "the murder of the law is a far graver offense than the murder of a human being." "Organized government has survived and can again survive the murder of human beings," he continued. When the law dies, government dies; all things desirable die, chaos reigns and anarchy is enthroned. Choose you this day whom you will serve, the law or anarchy." There was a legal way to punish the Negro, if guilty, he concluded. Holsey to hold the next session at Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Holsey stated that at the same time the monument erected to the memory of the late Booker T. Washington will be unveiled. The invitation was accepted.

(By The Associated Negro Press) the heavy gun of the New York Age slates himself for the electrically charged atmosphere of Port An Rumors and then more rumors are keeping the atmosphere charged with suppressed excitements and intolerant fears of just what no one appears to know. One is simply submerged and actually drowned in the great suction of things without knowing clearly the why or the wherefore. And there is no end to it. President Harding is the central figure in the situation, but not the central thought, "Where and when will I land?" is the present all-absorbing idea and no one is making any apparent effort to get away from this question. There are just a few attitudes which appear in the nature of a surprise. William H. Lewis, Robert R. Church and Henry Lincoln Johnson are declining appointments. To what? is a query that baffles reply. They have declined is the rumor that is holding the center of the stage, and that is all there is about the matter. On the other hand, it has been very definitely decided that Charles A. Cottrell is to be the next register of the treasury; Charles W. Anderson is to be collector of customs at the port of New York; Emmet J. Scott is to represent the government as minister to Bolivia; Perry W. Howard has his weather eye on the attorney general's office; Ernest Lyon is yearning to get his former post at Monrovia; Phil Brown has picked out a soft berth in the war department; Fred R.

VARNER LOSES SENSATIONAL SUIT IN FEDERAL COURT Jury Finds Plaintiff Gulty of Improper Relations With Baxter McRary—Return Verdict After Deliberating 42 Hours—Alimony Denied. GREENSBORO, N. C., March 10.—The federal court jury, trying the case of Mrs. Florence C. Varner, who sued her husband, Colonel Henry B. Varner of Lexington, for support, on February 26 returned a verdict for the defendant after two days' deliberation. One of the issues required the jury find whether she was guilty or innocent of the charge of improper relations with Baxter McCryar. The jury answered this affirmatively. The verdict came after the jury had deliberated for forty-two hours and had cast seven ballots. The case followed sensational developments in Lexington, N. C., on the night of August 9, 1920, when a group of citizens are alleged to have dragged Baxter McCryar, wealthy colored man, from under the home of H. B. Varner. A few days later Varner entered suit against McCryar for $100,000, charging him with having alienated his wife's affections, and at the same time instituted divorce proceedings against Mrs. Varner. The divorce was thrown out of court under a technicality. Mrs. Varner, in November, filed a suit in federal court, asking for a reasonable subsistence from her husband and title to a building in Lexington, owned by Varner, said to be worth $50,000. The trial of the case was begun in federal court here February 15 and on February 24 it went to the jury. When news of the verdict was conveyed to Mrs. Varner at a local sanitarium she collapsed, according to attendants.

The ladies were out with all their finery, which can be so gracefully donned by our fair sex, and it is needless to say that the gentlemen were not far in arrears.

There were many Shrinera from Lincoln, also the majority of members of the Daughters of Isis of that place, and they all expressed themselves as having had a glorious time. ST. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN We are pleased to note that our people are becoming more punctual in their attendance. The leadership of the church should be felt in every phase of life. Since this is the case the church should by all means be a model in everything that is elevating and tends to improve character. To some extent the criticism on laxity in religious affairs is justified. Let us all strive to remove this criticism from ourselves at least by strengthening those points wherein we may be the weakest along all lines. The Ladies' Aid is very much encouraged by the response given them by way of the patronage of their first effort in a financial way. The tacky party on Monday evening was a pleasant, profitable and enjoyable affair. Mrs. James A. Clarke, president of the society, deserves special commendation for her unfiring efforts, not only on this special occasion but at all times, in striving to make the work of the society felt, and its success is evident. We regret that every Christian Endeavorer was not present Sunday evening to respond to his name at roll call. In Christian work as in other things nothing helps one to grow like activity. Next Sunday evening Miss Ruth Alexander will lead the meeting. The topic is "What Is Real Religion?" James 1:19-27; John 17:3. The sermons Sunday will be: 11 a.m., "What Think Ye of Christ?" and 8 p. m., "Marks of a True Christian." A Sure Bet. The man who carries water on both shoulders generally gets wet.

CONSTRUCTIVE ENTERPRISES Block Thirteen on North Twenty-fourth Street Evidently Not Considered a Hoodoo by Members of Our Race Willing to Launch Business Ventures—Can Justly Lay Claim to Being Pioneer Block, As It Was the Home in Early Days of Jones & Dorsey's Coal Office. UNIQUE ESTABLISHMENTS ON THOROUGHFARE The fifth demonstration by the pupils of Mrs. Florentine Frances Pinkston on last Sunday afternoon at St. Johns church may be well described by resorting to that shortcut of the English language—slang, and recording the affair as a "huge" success. This is literally true as regards both the quality and quantity of music and musical ability involved in the demonstration. One is always tempted, on an occasion of this kind, to make comparisons of the performers, but in the present instance, such comparisons would be manifestly unfair. In the first place, the pupils range from beginners in the primary courses to advanced pupils of many years' training, and thus furnish little foundation for fair comparison. Then, too, a just statement of the relative excellence of each performer should be based upon a thorough knowledge of the inherent or native musical ability, the amount of training, and other individual characteristics of those taking part in the demonstration. It is quite generally admitted that each pupil did his or her very best under the circumstances. As exercises in public performances these demonstrations are extremely desirable. This one especially reflects great credit upon teacher and pupils. The outstanding features worthy of mention were the absence of any flaunt display of "stage fright" (in spite of the fact that many of the pupils were appearing for the first time in public) and the uniformly high quality in the execution. The lack of stage fright at once shows the thoroughness with which the pupils have been taught, for confidence in one's self comes only with a com- The following was the program: Drill of Rhythm h Duet (Loth) Duet (Porter) Book I, Exercise 25, Allegretto (Kohle) Book I, Exercise 27, Allegretto (Kohle) "Melodie" (Schumann) "The Merry Bobolink" (Krogmann) "Joyous Farmer" (Schumann) (a) Melodie Andantino (Kohler) (b) "The Little Patriot March" (Krogmann) "Moonlight Barcarolle" (Schytte) Waltz—"The First Ball" (Forster) "A Summer Reverie" (Torjussen) Song—"A Rose Rhyme" (Salter) "The Peasant Danse" (Baunselder) (a) Melody Andantino (Kohler) (b) "The Merry Danse" (Gurlitt) Ballade Op. 100, No. 15 (Burgmuller) Valse—"The Dancing Class" (Zilcher Moderato, Op. 100 (Burgmuller) "Woodland Sprites" (Weyts) Etude Op. 47, No. 5 (Heller) Valse Caprice—"Silver Spray" (Hame) (a) Etude Op. 100, No. 15 (Burgmuller) (b) "Tyrolleinen" (Heins) (a) Pastorale, Op. 100, No. 3 (Burgmuller) (a) Arabesque, Op. 100, No. 2 Paper—"Life of Grieg" (a) "Petite Valse" (Deunee) (b) "Sylvan Danse" (Hatch) (c) "Hide and Seek" (Deunee) (a) Inquietude, Op. 100 (Burgmuller) (b) "Dance Gracieuse" (Deunee) (a) Allegro Con Spirito (Heller) "A Novelle" (Albers) (a) "Serenade," Allegretto (Mozart) (a) Mazurka (Matthews) (a) "The Shepherds Return," Op. 105 muller) (b) "The Gypsies," Op. 109, No. 4 (a) Valse Brillante in Octaves (Cono) (b) Valse—"Vera" (Holtz) Paper—"Life of MacDowell" (a) "Spring Jubilee" (Krentzin) (b) Etude, Op. 105 (Burgmuller) (c) Etude, Op. 105 (Burgmuller) (a "From the Magic Flute" (Mozart) (b "Serenade Triste" (Tarenght) (a "L'Amour" (Gastele) (b Etude, Op. 105, No. 12 (Burgmuller) (a "Gavotte Mignonne" (Goldner) (b Melodie (Holten) (a "Capriccietto" (Gurlitt) (b Mazurka-Caprice (Deceeve) (a Octave Study (Lynes) (a "Voices of Spring" (Sinding) (a Humoreske" (Original) (Dvorak) (a Arabesque" (Nolck) (a "Fifth Nocturne" (Leybach) (b "Valse Aragonaise" (Thonne) (a "Au Matin" (Godard) (b Etude, Op. 45, No. 15 (Heller) *Scholarship Pupils. CONSTRUCTIVE Block Thirteen on North Twenty-sidedered a Hoodoo by Member Business Ventures—Can Just Block, As It Was the Home in Coal Office. UNIQUE ESTABLISHMENT WE spoke last week particularly of the largest business enterprise owned and operated by our people on North Twenty-fourth street the grocery store and meat market of the Co-Operative Workers of America at Twenty-fourth and Seward streets. With 400 stockholders, each of whom should be a patron, there is every reason why this should become a strong and well-paying institution. At all events here is an experiment in cooperation among the race in Omaha which is most commendable, is being closely watched and deserves to succeed. Cooperation means working together. Has the race in Omaha learned this yet? It means that every fellow must do his part. Among other constructive enterprises conducted by our group on North Twenty-fourth street, perhaps the two most unique because they are unusual are the combined tailoring and hat and cap shop of Frank Barnes in the thirteenth hundred block, between Caldwell and Hamilton streets, and the shoe shining and notion establishment of J. J. Jones in the eighteen hundred block, between Clark and THE MONITOR MONSTRATION LINE FRANCES PINKSTON plete knowledge of the subject in hand. The individuality of expression shown by the pupils was particularly noticeable, clearly demonstrating that Mrs. Pinkston has succeeded in imparting to her pupils not only a high order of technical ability in the execution of piano music, but also a true appreciation of musical values in a larger sense. Much praise is due to teacher and pupils for their splendid co-operation, and to the large and attentive audience for its sympathetic appreciation of the gigantic task so well done. It was rather unfortunate that the length of the program was such as to tax the physical endurance of pupils and audience—and possibly teacher too. It is questionable whether any group of musical artists could be collected who could sustain the interest of the most sympathetic audience obtainable over an unbroken period of four hours. By way of suggestion, and in view of the large number of pupils now enrolled, it would seem better to divide the pupils into several groups, each group containing students ranging from the primary to advanced classes, and to allow each group to have a separate demonstration. In this way the public would hear all classes of music at each demonstration, and the pupils at the end of the program would not be compelled to play under a strain due to physical fatigue. There is no doubt that the public has learned to appreciate and enjoy these demonstrations, and that it would do all in its power to make the next ones even greater successes, if possible, than this one.

Mr. Barnes manufactures hats and caps as well as being kept busy with tailoring, pressing and cleaning. The latter business is quite common among our people but the former unusual. But before passing on to speak of Mr. Jones' place, five blocks further north, it may be well to call attention to the fact that the block thirteen has been a pioneer block on this thoroughfare for our people. Many years ago Alfred Jones and S. H. Dorey ran a coal business just a few doors south of the Barnes place, under the firm name of Jones & Dorsey. A few years later the late A. W. Parker opened a coal and feed business at the same place which he conducted for several years, moving his business, which had grown, four blocks further north on the same street just above Franklin street. Albert Chisley subsequently opened his barber shop and billiard parlors at 1320, where he is enjoying a good business "still at the same old stand." Another barber shop and a cafe is located in the same block. The number thirteen has evidently not been regarded with super station sufficient to prevent opening --- business in this block which may be considered the pioneer Twenty-fourth street block for business ventures by our race. Northward from this has been the steady trend of Negro business enterprises to Lake street and thence westward on Lake to Twenty-eighth street. Now to speak of J. J. Jones' shining parlor and notions at 1825 North Twenty-fourth. We consider it rather unique. He opened the little room which he still occupies at this number about three years ago, with a small bootblack stand, three chairs, two or three brushes, a stove and three bushels of conl. Today he has five chairs, a good supply of cigars, tobacco, candies, shoe strings, gloves, hose and notions and is doing what he calls a pretty fair "one man business." The Monitor considers this enterprise unique because it is the only one of its kind known to us where a man combines notions, as well as news papers with a shining parlor. Murphy Lynch—how is that for a good Hibernian name—conducts a well-equipped tailoring establishment in this same block, which also boasts one or two small restaurants. No man, woman or child need go hungry on Twenty-fourth street, provided he has the price, for want of eating places. This story will be continued next week, when we will tell you of what's doing in a business way in block fourteen and, if space permits, farther north. GIVE PASTOR PURSE AS BIRTHDAY GIFT Wednesday evening the Ladies' Aid of St. Paul's Presbyterian church visited the home of its pastor, the Rev.
