--- LIFTING LIFT TOO 5c a Copy LEAVES DAUGHTER BY COLORED WOMAN HANDSOME FORTUNE Rich Planter Wills $209,000 to Girl Whom He Acknowledges to Be His Child by Domestic in Family. LAWFUL WIDOW IS PENNILESS Sensation Created by Bequest and Big Legal Battle to Break Planter's Will Probably Be Staged. Charleston, W. Va., March 23.—A white father's tender love reached across the chasm of prejudice and bitter criticism and "rescued and recognized" his daughter, a brown, curly-headed girl. Born out of wedlock by a devoted mother, she so wound herself around the heart strings of her father, a rich planter, that he forgot her skin was dark and answered the light in her eyes with love; a love so deep and sincere that at his death last December he named this illegitimate child sole heir to his estate, estimated at $209,000. These sensational truths came to light several days ago when John Pickens, the brother of Roman Pickens, the father in the case, entered legal proceedings in an attempt to break the will that leaves Garnet Pickens, the deceased's daughter by a colored woman, heirs to the large estate. Pickens, once sheriff of Kawwha county and a picturesque figure, so worded his will that the mother of his child, Cora Pickens, a domestic in his home for many years, is also given protection. The will gave the entire estate, appraised at $209,000, to Miss Garnet, with directions that she "treat with love and affection" the lawful widow, Mary E. Pickens (white), who holds legal rights during her life time. It also directed that she "well and comfortably provide for 'Cora', the servant', during her life. Much common-sense advice was conveyed to the heiress, a beautiful young woman who has since reached her majority, by the document. It directs her to consult with experienced business men in all business affairs, cautions her never to sign or endorse any notes, and warns her that she will be the object of the schemes of designing persons. The beneficiary is also commanded not to sell any of the real estate until she reached the age of 30 years, as the real property, located in this city and in the farming sections of this and neighboring counties, rapidly is increasing in value. H. P. Brightwell, city treasurer and vice-president of a local trust company, of which Pickens was a director, was named administrator by the will and other prominent officials of the same institution were appointed appraisers bf the court. RACE MEN REFUSE TO WORK MINES Proposition in New York Meets With Cold Reception—Wants 5,000, Gets 100 New York, March 23.—Refusing to be used as a "last resort," the appeal of Harry V. Dougherty, of the Dougherty Detective Agency, whereby colored miners were to be used as dupes in a "get-rich-quick" scheme, fell flat here recently when less than 100 men answered the call for "5,000 Negro miners to go to the Ruhr district." Other Races Fail According to the latest statement of Dougherty men of other races had been sent to the mines, but because of their inability to cope with climatic conditions, the gas and extremely hard nature of the work, his proposition to man the mines with colored American miners was eagerly agreed upon. Forthwith, from France, he telegraphed his brother to get 5,000 colored miners and have them read to sail March 15. Propaganda was to the effect that $7 a day would be paid in addition to their board and lodging, and would receive compensation in event of injury. The Hook Appears That was the bait. But the hook appeared when Dougherty admitted that he was to receive 75 cents a day for each man sent over to France. And colored miners through the South, Middle West and the West responded to the extent of exactly 100. The answer to Dougherty's appeal shows that the Negro has at last awakened, and will no longer passively submit to subterfuge and trickery. JAILED FOR ASSAULT Wilson, N. C., March 23.-James Rodgers, white, was placed in jail here last Wednesday without bond to answer the charge of criminally assaulting Miss Rosa Knight, a 13-year-old Negro girl of the Wiggins Mill section. THE MONITOR FILES FOR NEW TRIAL; MAY CARRY CASE TO SUPREME COURT Attorney Ed. F. Morearty, who defended Sol Wesley and Leroy Mauldron, the two young men charged with killing William Deersom in holding up a grocery store in January, and who were found guilty and sentenced to death last week, has filed for a new trial. Mr. Morearty in challenging the jury, asked every juryman if he were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. He is the first attorney in the state to ask this question. The hearing on the new trial will be argued March 31. Mr. Morearty declares that if a new trial is not granted he will carry the case to the Supreme Court. JACOB BERKOWITZ TAKES OVER THE TABLE SUPPLY Jacob Berkowitz, familiarly called "Jake," who for many years was the popular proprietor of a grocery store at Twenty-fourth and Charles street, where he had a large colored patronage. is now the exclusive owner of the Table Supply at Seventeenth and Douglas. Louis Sommers, his partner, has withdrawn from the business. Despite the fact that Mr. Berkowitz is proprietor of this great down-town store, which carries an immense stock at popular prices, he is the same genial and courteous "Jake" his friends and patrons knew when he was on N. Twenty-fourth street. $1.50 HER CAPITAL, WOMAN ORGANIZES SCHOOL FOR GIRLS SCHOOL HAS RAPID GROWTH (Special to Monitor by Chas. Stewart) Daytona, Fla., Mar. 23.—Representative men and women from all parts of the country witnessed the dedication of the dormitory for girls at the Daytona Normal and Industrial school March 6, which building was erected and furnished at a cost of $60,000. It is three stories high and is said to be one of the finest buildings in the South. The institution was founded by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, in 1904, whose capital was faith, grit, and a determination to do something for her people, and $1.50 in cash. This is one of the greatest agencies at work in this section of the country for interracial service and better understanding between the races, for here they find common ground on which they can meet and discuss their problems, led by one of the most noted colored women in the world, Mary McLeod Bethune. In the processional Harch 6, led by Mrs. Bethune, were men and women of culture, of refinement, of wealth, of both races, and they walked side by side, were seated side by side, and contributed to the cause, there was that brotherly interest manifested. Smith G. Young, of Lansing, Mich., presided, and made a short address in the opening. One of the features of the occasion was the music, the songs of days gone by, the songs of the mothers and fathers, the students of the institute under the direction of Miss Josie Roberts, and Fisk Jubilee singers, whose fame is world wide, J. A. Myers, director, L. D. Collins', C. J. O'Bannon, and Mrs. J. A. Myers. An unusual thing followed the opening, which were greetings from Daytona by Dr. M. Josie Rogers, mayor of Daytona. She was given an ovation, as she congratulated Mrs. Bethune on the work, and extended welcome to all. Bishop William F. Anderson, of the Methodist Episcopal church, delivered the dedicatory address, and he was followed by Prof. N. B. Young, of Tallahassee, president of the State School. He bore greetings from the Educational Department of the state. The address by Miss Lucy Miller brought tears to my eyes. She told the story of her own life and growth with the school. She entered in the kindergarten. She came from an humble home, worked her way through that institution, and then completed the college work at Talledega, and then returned to take up work. She paid a high tribute to Mrs. Bethune. When she concluded her address there were many weeping, including the founder. "That is my address," said Mrs. Bethune, pointing to the young woman who had just finished speaking, "and I only ask you, my friends, to stand by the cause. She has told the story." There were many people present in the evening when the building was dedicated by the Rev. C. F. Goss. Addresses were delivered by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute; Dr. I. Garland Penn, of Cincinnati; Dr. Geo. Cleveland Hall, Chicago; and A. F. Hemdon, of Atlanta, Gr. $20,000 was raised. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1923 Whole Numb Long School Cagers Win the City Championship GAR GAR GAR GAR HELD LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG This shows the four grade schools which competed in the Omaha Daily Bee's Basket Ball Tournament Friday, March 10. Long and Miller Park were the winners in the semi-finals. This left them contenders for the city championship. This title was settled last Friday night when Long defeated Miller Park by a score of 6 to 1 before a large and enthusiastic audience at the Y. M. C. A. Miller Park was clearly outclassed from the start, but played a plucky game. Long was coached by Martin Thomas, student at Central High, and the team showed his result of his efficient and painstaking work. Parks, Wright and Ware were Long's stars, while Crocker did stellar work for Miller Park. The Omaha Bee will award gold medals to the winners and bronze medals to the runner up. This was the culmination of the best tournament ever staged. Competition was keen and close. Several ties had to be played off before the semi-finals were reached. It is interesting to note the personnel of these four teams. It will be noticed that Garfield has one colored player, the rest being white, and of various nationalities. Train's team is largely Italian. Long presents the unusual feature of being composed of colored boys, with only one exception. Miller Park team is composed entirely of white, nearly all of American parentage. The members of the respective teams are as follows: The members of the respective teams are as follows: (1) Garfield, left to right, back row: Case, guard; Lester, guard and Tomasek, forward. Front, Zerbe, substitute; Stewart, substitute; Myers, center, and Parsley, forward. (2) Train, back row: Dosten, substitute; Bolter, guard; Sterling, center, and Goeta and Patella subs.

From Nebraska to Arkansas and Back Experiences and Observations of the Editor on Trip to Southland Where He Saw Many Things of Interest SOME IMPRESSIONS OF LITTLE ROCK (Continued from last week.) On the outskirts of the city I noticed a large number of small, unpainted houses, all of the same general type, and in the doorway of almost every one stood a buxom woman of our race with a baby in her arms, and two or three other children not far removed from babyhood, clinging to her skirts or else standing near by, all gazing at the speeding train which although to them is a common sight, for on this line many trains pass their humble homes daily, seemed to them a curiosity. Perhaps so; but a passing train has for all of us a certain attraction, hasn't it? Here there a man was seen trudging along to work, but around these little homes were only women and children, yes and there were dogs and chickens. The men, because it was after 7:00 o'clock, had probably gone to work. Scores and scores of little cabin-like homes were passed as we drew near North Little Rock and in them all our own people with apparently generous broods of children. NO evidence of race suicide here among these simple folk who evidently believe in that primal command, "Multiply and replish the earth and subdue it." The sacrament of marriage was instituted for this purpose and they who fulfill its decree will ultimately subdue or as it runs in the original, rule it. One thought that forced itself upon me was this: The Negro race is not dying in this section. Another was; who can tell what work God has planned for some of those children to do for this nation who are playing around these humble houses or held in a loving mother's arms? No one. It has always been from the humble homes that the great of the earth have come. I have said that these little houses were painless. This seems to be very general all through the South. The people do not believe in paint. I saw large houses in Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and along the way, perfectly content of paint. I may be distressed, but it locked to me as though the Southern people, white and black, do not realize the value of paint both as a beautifier and a preservative. Paintless houses and buildings, large and small, owned or occupied by black and white alike were very much in evidence everywhere in that section. Of course there are many beautiful and well-kept homes, but paint seems to be scarce in that section. But it is time I was telling you something of Little Rock itself. And first of the Union Station. This is a large and imposing structure. The Red Caps and many of the employees are Negroes. The Red cap, who carried my bag, and those of one or two other passengers,—it's astonishing how Red caps can load themselves up, or perhaps "down" were the better word—was a slender, pleasant-faced young fellow by the name of Jordan. I generally carry my own bag, or satchel, for ordinally I have only one, but this time I had two and they were quite heavy, but when he smiled and said pleasantly, "Carry your bag, sir?" I let him have them. Or course, you see, as I was traveling in style, even as a Pullman Whole Number 402 FELLOWSHIPS FOR WORTHY STUDENTS FROM URBAN LEAGUE By this time we had reached the waiting room. Dropping my bags on the outside of the room marked "For White" he said, "Excuse me if I carry the other bags in here, and I'll come back for yours." He was soon back and carried my bags into the waiting room marked "For Colored." As I have said, the union station is an attractive and imposing building. The waiting room "For Colored" is commodious, neat, clean and well-appointed. It contains a long lunch counter at which one or two comely colored waitresses were serving us (Continued on Page 3) --- passenger, "over the Kansas line" I had to go all the way. But, in all seriousness. I let this hustling, industrious Red cap carry my bags because I wanted to help him. He sized me up as a priest, and seemed very much pleased. He volunteered the information that "Last week there were several other colored fathers here, from Kansas City, Texas, Oklahoma and other places. I didn't know there were so many colored Episcopal fathers." "How do you know that I'm one?" I asked. "Oh, I know you are one, all right. Anyhow, you look like one. I know those others were because Bishop Demby met 'em and they held meetings at the Episcopal church." "You know Bishop Demby, then, do you?" "You bet I do. He's a nice man." "Do you belong to the Episcopal Church?" I asked him. "No, sir, but I go sometimes." LARGE APPROPRIATION FOR NEGRO EDUCATION Greensboro, N. C., March 23. The educational progress of the Negro goes forward in North Carolina. The legislature which has just closed appropriated about a million and one half dollars for higher education among Negroes. The A. & T. College, the chief Negro institution in the state, was given $601,000, the largest appropriation that this state has ever made to a Negro school. CHILD VICTIM RECKLESS DRIVER Mary Jones, an eight year old girl was struck by an automobile as she was crossing the street at Twenty-fourth and Charles street, in company with several companions, Monday afternoon. The driver did not stop, but sped away. The child was taken to her home, 1426 North Twenty-second street, where she was given medical attention. IS NAMED COLLECTOR New York City, March 23—President Harding has announced the appointment of Charles W. Anderson to be collector of internal revenue of the Third New York District, with a salary of $6,000 per year. This district was re-created after being abolished several years ago. The appointment, it is said, will be made permanent when the senate convenes. Applications Open to All Graduates of Recognized Colleges Who Can Meet The Requirements Set LIBERAL PROVISIONS MADE New York, March 23.—The National Urban League announces that applications may now be filed for its social service Fellowships for the school year 1923-1924. These fellowships provide monthly payments of $50 for living expenses during the school year in addition to scholarships covering tuition at the leading schools of the social service, such as the New York School of Social Work, New York City; the Graduate School of Social Administration of Chicago University, Chicago Illinois; the Simmons College of Social Work, Boston, Mass.; the Pennsylvania School for Social Service, Philadelphia, Pa.; and the Carnegie School of Technology, Pittsburgh, Pa. Already some of the most successful colored social workers have received training in these fellowships and authorities associated with the League are enthusiastic about the growth in standards of social service among colored people resulting in the past from these fellowship awards. The candidates are selected on the basis of personality, training, physical condition and a competitive examination showing the student's knowledge of current affairs and sociit service problems of the day. Special attention is called to the Ella Sachs Plotz Memorial Fellowship which is awarded by the income from a fund of $10,000 donated by twenty-eight friends of Mrs. Plotz at the last Annual Meeting of the League. Successful candidates, of course, are awarded the fellowships on qualifying for admission to the school to which they are assigned. Persons interested, whether north or south, should file their applications with Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary, National Urban League, 127 E. 23rd Street, New York City. MEXICO NOT BARRING COLORED IMMIGRANTS False Statement Charged To White American and British Oil Interests Crusader Service. Mexico City, Mexico, March 23.—High officials in the Mexican government brand as utterly false the statement appearing in the American press to the effect that Mexico has changed her traditional policy towards the Negro American and intends to bar Negro colonists henceforth. According to these officials Negro colonists are as welcome as ever and any statement that they are not is a white, broadcasted by the white American and British Oil interests, who are alarmed at the headway being made by the colored people from the United States. The opposition of the oil interests is chiefly against permitting the colored people to colonize in the Tampaica and San Luis Potosi districts, which are in the heart of the Mexico oil belt. GROWING THANK YOU VOL. VIII—No. 38 CHICAGO MAY GET DEMOCRAT MAYOR BY COLORED VOTE Race Refuses To Line Up For Successful Republican Candidate And Democrats Are Making Overtures For Vote HYLAN'S FAIRNESS A FACTOR Candidates Call Attention To Patronage Given By New York Mayor As Indication of What Chicago May Expect Associated Negro Preruss. Chicago, Ill., March 23.—Arthur C. Lueder, Postmaster, is the Republican nominee for Mayor of Chicago to succeed Mayor William Hale Thompson. The Democratic nominee is Judge William E. Dever. The contest for the final election in April promises to be one of the most spirited ever carried on in Chicago. Judge Dever is making an open bid for Colored support. He is backing up his plea for support by frank promises of a square deal to all. In his addresses he is making special emphasis on the recognition he proposes to give the South side ward school facilities and recreational opportunities, and there is well founded information to the effect that the pressing of the candidacy of a high standard colored citizen for member of the school board will be given favorable consideration, in the event of the Dever election. Louis B. Anderson received more than a majority of all the votes cast in the primary where he is elected alderman for another term. under the new law, without the necessity of being on the ticket in the April election. T. Arnold Hill, reform candidate against Anderson, made a creditable showing but the church vote failed to rally as expected. Major Robert R. Jackson, candidate for alderman in the new Third Ward, was likewise successful. having a majority over all the other candidates. This is the first time a colored man was ever elected from the Third Ward but does not give the group any additional members in the Council. Anderson and Jackson being former members. Complications are promised for the final roundup in April. According to "organization deals," made prior to the primary, it was believed that the Colored voters would line up for Lieder. They did not do it because of the opposition to Senator McCormick, and the National Administration, according to first hand information. Support was thrown to Judge Barasa, who was overwhelmingly victorious in the Colored Ward. Democrats are predicting the election of Judge Dever by from 100,000 to 200,000 votes; predictions for Lueber by his campaign backers is much more modest. That the fight on the South Side of Chicago will be torrid hot, is predicted by all who know Chicago politics, Mayor Thompson publicly attributed his election as Mayor both times to the support he received from the colored voters. The Democrats expect to "point with pride" to the recognition given colored citizens of New York by Mayor Hylan, Democrat, because of the support given him in his election, and leaders in the party have been heard to say frankly: "We expect to do even better than Hylan." In view of the present political mind of Colored citizens the Democrats feel, as they say: "We have better than a fighting chance. CRIPPLE MAN FOUND DEAD IN HIS HOME Alfred Hones, a cripple age 60 years, was found dead in his home, 2520 Indiana avenue, late Monday afternoon by Mrs. Vineda Clark and Leonard Coleman, who were inspecting the house with a view of renting it. Cold and lack of nourishment were believed to be the cause of his death. He was found lying in his bed. Police were notified and the body was taken to the undertaking rooms of Jones & Co. FLIPPER OUT WITH FALL Washington, D. C., March 23.—(Preston News Service.)—Former Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, assistant secretary of the Interior, under Albert Fall, resigned with his chief, taking effect March 4th last. Friends of Mr. Flipper failed in the efforts to get a bill through congress reinstating him in the army.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MEDIA PLUS FIRST IN SERVICE A TIMELY WARNING DURING the time that Dean Ringer was commissioner of police, in order to "get him" and show the inefficiency of the police department under his administration the commercialized vice interests of this city were directly responsible for a systematic campaign of vicious propaganda which resulted in the lynching and rioting of September 28, 1919. For several weeks prior to that disgraceful affair there appeared in local newspapers over box-car headlines reports of attacks upon white women by Negroes. Most of these reports were deliberate lies, manufactured and given currency for a wilfully malicious purpose. Law-abiding citizens of color suffered keenly from the odium and reflection cast upon them by the alleged criminal acts of members of the race and their persons and property were placed in jeopardy by the mob-mind and spirit evoked by that mindful and spiritful the goat. It centered chiefly upon the control of the police power of this city. The direct attack was aimed against Police Commissioner Ringer and Mayor Smith, who loyally supported him. Our purpose in recalled these facts at this time is to sound a timely warning. In the last few days there has been an upheaval in the city administration. Dan B. Butler, one of the ablest and most efficient commissioners who has ever served this city, and who has openly charged that vice has been protected, has been transferred, under a resolution introduced by Mayor Dahlman and passed by a vote of 6 to 1, from the Department of Finance to that of Commissioner of Police, Police Commissioner Dunn taking Butler's former department. In other words, Butler and Dunn have been compelled to swaps jobs. The Monitor opines that there is more back of this adroit movement than appears upon the surface. Judging from Dan Butler's past record, we have every confidence in him that he will do his level best to make good on this job as he has Nebras Chapter Thirteen Erected in 1892 Nebraska Civil Rights Bill Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights. Enacted in 1893. Sec. 1. Civil rights of persons.

We are not, however, so sure that he will receive the hearty co-operation of his colleagues in carrying out the far-reaching and drastic reforms which he has indicated that he will inaugurate for the betterment of the service. Clashes in the Council Chamber attendant upon the transfer presage friction. Hence our scepticism as to sincere and whole-hearted co-operation from his colleagues. It appears to us that the difficult office of Police Commissioner is again to be made a stormer as it was during the Ringer incumbency. If so the same tactics may be used as then. Propaganda of the same kind, damaging to our people may be circulated. We weep not. But we sound this note of warning. Watch developments. If there should begin to appear numerous reports of alleged crimes by Negroes, with corresponding inability upon the part of the police to apprehend and convict these "Negro" criminals, it will take no Sherlock Holmes to know what's up. It politicians and others are staging a fight around the office of Commissioner of Police we ask them kindly to leave our people out. It is their fight, not ours, and we are unwilling to be made the goat. In the meanwhile we counsel all our people to be industrious and law abiding and to keep their eyes wide open. ATHLETICS AND AMERICANIZATION An interesting, instructive and suggestive 'cut' appears on the first page of this issue. We are indebted for its use to the appreciated courtesy of the Omaha Daily Bee. The illustration carries its own lesson. It conveys visible and tangible evidence of how the excellent public schools of our city are not only providing for the physical development of all children, but also how these schools are carrying on the work of genuine Americanization by encouraging and providing healthful and legitimate sports in which the children of all racial groups compete upon absolutely equal terms according to merit. Such association and ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb competition make for comradeship, mutual esteem, respect, good will and understanding that is absolutely impossible under a system of isolation and segregation. America's future depends upon amity and unity among all groups of her citizenry. These are impossible without association and helpful contact. Separation breeds distrust and suspicion. The public school where all children meet, study together and play together is the place where this nationalization of America, which is not yet a homogeneous nation, can best be accomplished. Those who do not realize this fact are wanting in vision and it is as true today as when spoken or old, that "where there is no vision the people perish." Americans who have vision want no "little Italy", "little Germany", but one great big all-comprehending America and consequently they are willing to do all they can to develop this ideal. As an encouragement to school athletics the Omaha Bee has instituted tournaments for the grade schools. Its basketball tournament, recently held, evoked great interest. In the finals played last Friday night, the city championship was won by Long, in a spirited game with Miller Park. The players in Long team are all colored boys with one exception, Christenson. Miller Park team are all white boys. Garfield team has one colored member. In Friday night's final it was an all-colored team against an all-white team and the best of good will prevailed. It was simply a case of picked athletes from one Omaha public school, who by fair competition won their right for a place on the team, contending for the city championship, with picked athletes from another Omaha school. Miller Park teachers have shown what good losers they are by providing a treat Friday night for the four teams contesting in the semi-finals. We congratulate Long school upon its well-won victory and we congratulate Omaha upon the fact that it is broad-minded and large visioned in its work of educating its future citizens by making provision for developing their minds and bodies. HOLY WEEK NEXT WEEK is known as Holy Week. It commemorates our Blessed Lord's last week upon the earth during the period of His humiliation. Its culmination is Good Friday. The week should be given up as largely to devotion as our busy modern life will permit by all those who profess and call themselves Christians. The Monitor notes with pleasure that several of the leading religious bodies of the city have planned for a united noon-day service to be held at the Brandeis theatre during the week. Trinity Cathedral will continue its usual noon-day services. St. Mary Magdolene, in addition to its masses, has also a noon-day service. Ample provision thus seems to be made for Protestants, Episcopalians, Roman Catholics and other Christian folk who so desire it opportunity for worship during Holy Week. We hope our people according to their liking will largely avail themselves of these privileges. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN HOME ECONOMICS In 1921-22 approximately fifty-six all-day departments for vocational education in home economics, enrolling 2,719 girls, were maintained in public schools for colored children. One state reports that in the past year this work has more than doubled, and that there are keen interest fine co-operation wherever these departments have been organized; another state reports that nine colored schools have signed a blank signifying their interest in vocational education in THE MONITOR New Na Ancien Harbor New Nation; Ancient People Harbor of Durazzo. (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) While the Near East conference is reshuffling the territorial cards that were shuffled last by the treaty of Sevres, Albania, just outside the most recently disturbed region, will probably be permitted to go on its rather somnolent way. The country was created in 1912 to avert a world war, and when World war did come the troops in five countries occupied various sections of it. Germans, Austrians and Bulgarians were in control in the northern districts where Serbians made after-war attacks, while France and Italy held the south, including the area about Koritza, which later formed a bone of contention with Greece. Durazzo, chief Albanian port, was seized by d'Annunzio. Perhaps history will recognize Koritza as the scene of the first definite step toward remaking the map of Europe. For there in December, 1916, was set up a government, generally referred to as the republic of Koritza. While most of Albania was in Austrian hands this little republic, under French military protection, started to function as an Albanian republic, issued paper money, postage stamps, and established a national army with a fighting strength of 600. Before 1914 Albania was the newest country of the Old World, and it is peopled by the most ancient race of southeast Europe. Edward Gibbon called it "a country within sight of Italy, which is less known than the interior of America." And more than a century after that characterization, before the war helped introduce the Balkans to America, a letter addressed "Albania" was sent from England to the United States and was returned from Albany, N. Y. with the notation "Not for Albany, try Europe." The towns of southern Albania are few and, though strange and picturesque in appearance, are in reality poor in comfort. Of cities there are not any. Kortiza, with some 20,000 people, is the largest place, but it is far from being a city. However, if the towns are somewhat mean and squallid, they are interesting to the eye and have the charm of old-world qualnness. There are but four worth mentioning; Arljokastro, so old, at least in appearance, that its origin falls back into the mists of time; the pleasant village of Premati, lying in a fertile valley along the river Vlosa; Kortiza, which was held by the French; and Valona, which became clean and thrived under the Italian army. Pew Modern comforts There. are all pleasant places to look upon, nesting among the mountains, in the valleys, and by the sea, with their old gray walls and roofs of stone dotted with storks; but they possess none of the comforts or conveniences of modern life. Such matter-of-fact things as trams, hotels, or cafes do not exist in Albanian towns and would seem wholly out of place. Water is drawn from the wells as it was 4,000 years ago, or maybe from some nearby stream. Inns are represented by the khan, a stone building half house, half stable, where caravans and pack trains stop to rest. Albania belongs to a time as far back as the annals of the world can reach and is as primitive as if it were in central China, almost as difficult to penetrate as Tibet itself. It is a land unfamiliar to the traveler and shunned by the tourist of today. If the three or four centers of population in southern Albania are a little disappointing as cities, this is not true of the country or of the picturesque villages which gather like gray splashes upon the grayer hills, where they appear to have nestled since the beginning of time. Rough stone huts they are for the most part, with flat stone roofs. For purposes of defense, they are usually situated half way up the lower hills, and the houses and outbuildings are often surrounded by strong stone walls. The valleys are rich and well cultivated, chiefly by the women, but present a desolate, deserted appearance, except in the daylight working hours. Not a farmhouse nor a stable is to be seen amidst all the fertile acres. The crops cannot be stolen; no bandit would think of destroying them, and so they are left unguarded. home economics and their willingness to observe the half-time program for vocational education. In one state twenty to seventy-five schools applying for approval in 1922-23 were colored. Five years ago these schools gave much attention to models in sewing and to individual cookery, and little to large problems of food, clothing, and other activities of the home. Today proper food and clothing for the individual and family, care of the home, expenditure of income, home nursing, and care of children occupy In Albania it isn't so much that history repeats itself, as that it engages in a process of monotonous reiteration. Albania is the infant terrible among European nations. It simply refuses to grow up. It does not lurk in the backwaters of Europe because of inferior people; for it has a stock which is sturdy, intelligent and resourceful. The vitality of the Albanians is exemplified in the mere fact that they continue to exist as a homogeneous people amid geographical and historical handicaps that have absorbed or displaced many of their old-time neighbors. In recent years contacts with Vlachs and Greeks have modified the Toks, or South Albanians. The wilder part of wild Albania, and the more primitive among its people, the Ghegs, are in the north, along the River Drin, which figured in Serbian war news. The Drin is formed by the confluence of the Black Drin, which rises in the beautiful Lake Ochrida, and the mountain-born White Drin. The Drin proper flows due west before it empties into the Adriatne near Lake Seutari, south of Dalmatia, hair-trigger littoral of post-war politics. Land of the Blood Feud. North of the Drin is a mountain land, the Karst, a Sahara of rock, akin to a fireless cooker in its effect after a hot day. Here live tribes, unconscious of national influences, except to fight invaders. Here is the land of the blood feud, a code by which 25 per cent of the men in some tribes are killed off in their prime. Yet this practice is not to be confounded with mere lawlessness. Rather it is a poor substitute for any recognized legal system or any central power to enforce justice. It is both more rigid and severe, and more elaborate, than the common law of advanced nations. One student of its workings found that a failure to make good a promise of a trifling present cost a dozen lives in a day. Because one man killed a pig that was eating his crops, the male relatives of the pig's owner killed many of the pig slayer's clan over a long period of years. Under such a system male relationships assume great importance. A man's third cousin becomes his "bother"; a woman's family ties, outside her parents, husband, or brothers, are matters of small moment. In many places there is no consciousness of kinship between niece and aunt. But the ramifications of this same code make woman's position higher in Albania than in the Orient, or even in many a more modernized region of Europe. For one thing the man who has a "blood foe" is immune from attack while in company of a woman. During times of feuds which amount to tribal warfare, women attend largely to outdoor duties. Marriage is by contract; generally arranged upon the birth of a child. A woman exercises no choice but has a veto power in respect to her husband. Should she not wish the man of her parent's arrangement she may reject him, but, in that event, must take vows to remain a virgin, assume the status of a man, and in some regions she dons men's clothing. Should she marry another man her rejected sutor's family must seek blood vengeance upon her male relatives. Our Ways strange to Them. These customs seem strange, but no less so than some of our ways to the Albanian. When told to in England a woman must hang for murder an Albanian company was deeply shocked. It was beyond their comprehension how a man could be found who would hang a woman and they concluded that England must be a barbarous island, indeed. No less surprise was caused among another group when informed of the flirtatious tendencies of the Anglo-Saxon maid. They couldn't see how the parents of a young woman who jilted a man could escape dire vengeance by his brothers — "brothers" meaning all his male relatives of near and far degree. Even the minor habits in the daily life of so isolate a people are novel. To be without a mustache is a disgrace in many parts of north, or high, Albania. The Albanian mother tells her child stories in which, unlike our stage melodrama, it always is the hairless man who figures as the villain. integral and prominent places on the home-economics program. Realizing the great need of qualified teachers to carry out a vocational program of home economics, a special effort has been made to raise the standards of instruction in teacher-training. The results have been very encouraging, both in regard to the number of students and in quality of work.—Adelaide C. Baylor in the Southern Workman. Take heed and beware of covetousness.—The Bible.

PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 26th and Seward Sts., Russel Taylor, Pastor Sunday is known in the church year calendar as Palm Sunday, being commemorative of the triumphal entry of our Saviour into Jerusalem, the populace scattering palm branches before him as he proceeded along the way. Hence the use of the palm. His disciples still believed that he was going to set up an earthly kingdom. Hence the cry. "Hosanna; is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest." They were mistaken. But Jesus is king in a higher and larger sense. Why not make him your king? ```markdown ``` Sunday morning the topic will be: "Is Jesus Your King?" Sunday evening the pastor will deliver the address at the Clifton Hill Presbyterian church, which he was to have delivered last Sunday evening, but was deferred on account of the weather. The Ministerial Alliance The discussions on the book of Revelation are proving to be quite interesting and helpful. The Rev. W. C. Williams being absent the Rev. Russell Taylor gave the exposition on the Seven Seals. It was very highly commended. We trust the public will take advantage of the Passion Week services. Negro ministers are continually criticised for their lack of union. The Alliance is fast breaking down that criticism. Passion Week will be a manifestation of the spirit of unity between the different denominations. All the meetings will be held at the Grove M. E. church, 22nd and Seward Streets. The program will be as follows: Monday, March 26, Rev. Russel Taylor. St. Paul Presbyterian Church. Music by the Pilgrim Baptist Church choir. Tuesday. March 27, Rev. E. H. McDonald, Mt.

H. Smith, D. D., of Colombus, La., will begin April 1st. The Sunday School entertainment and Bible problem has been postponed to March 27 on account of the inclement weather. The church treasurer, W.

JOHNSON Secretary of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People Addresses Dinner in Honor of Rep. LaGuardia New York, March 16—Speaking at a dinner in the Hotel Pennsylvania, tendered to Representative F. H. La-Guardia of New York, Saturday night, March 10, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People declared that: "If the Constitution of the U. S. cannot extend the arm of protection around the weakest and humblest of American citizens as around the strongest and proudest, then it is not worth the paper it is written on." Mr. Johnson made this statement at the conclusion of an address in which he declared it was open and public knowledge that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States were being nullified in the southern states and that the Negro vote was being denied, Alleging the preponderant influence of the South in the U. S. Congress because of the failure to reduce its representation in accordance with the disfranchisement of the Negro, Mr. Johnson said: "In the elections of 1920 it took 'In Mississippi, in the elections of 1920, it took 82,492 votes to elect two senators and eight representatives. In Kansas it took 570,223 votes to elect exactly the same representation. "In the presidential election of 1916 the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia cast a total vote for presidential candidates of 1,670,209. In Congress these states have a total of 104 representatives and 126 votess in the electoral college. The state of New York alone cast a total vote for presidential candidates of 1,706,354, a vote within 170,000 of all the votes cast by the above states and yet New York has only 43 representatives and 45 votes in the electoral college, against their 104 representatives and 126 votes in the electoral college." The Negro, declared Mr. Johnson, was the test of American democracy, and according to its treatment of the Negro that democracy would prove to be a success or a failure. The effect of disfranchisement and oppressing the Negro has already proved disastrous to the South, he asserted. "In the whole South the so-called purity of the ballot has been preserved at the cost of defiance of the Constitution, perversion of law, injustice and violence practiced upon a weaker group," he said. "The result has been that the South is intellectually dead and politically rotten. If this experiment in super-democracy had resulted in one one-hundredth of what was promised, there might be justification for it, but the result has been that not only are Negroes denied the vote in the South but that white men dare not express their honest opinions, political or otherwise." Mr. Johnson stated further that if the South failed to see the light, then in the interest of the whole country "steps should be taken to compel compliance with the Constitution and that should be done through the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment, which calls for a reduction in representation in proportion to the number of citizens in any state denied the right to vote." Other speakers at the dinner to Mr. LaGuardia, besides Mr. Johnson, were Senator Smith W. Brockhart, of Iowa; Mayor Hylan, of New York City; Jas. A. Frear, Representative in Congress from Wisconsin and Miss Elizabeth Marbury. Mary Garrett Hay, president of the Women's City Club of New York, presided at the dinner. Copyright Cudderwood & Melbourne This school frock is charming, simple, in good taste, and warm enough to be comfortable on chill days of early spring, yet loose enough to allow free circulation of air. It is designed to be donned in a minimum of time. The frock is of marine blue wool, embroidered with white "snow-flakes." LIGHTER COLORS FOR TWEEDS Pale Shades Hold Favor for Town and Country Wear; Delicate Yellows and Grays. All the new town tweed suits and those for the country, too, are being made in light pale colors. There are no more of those flashing blues and pinks and greens that appeared so numerously. Now the colorings are more subtle, though they are as delicate as can be and bid fair to need much cleaning if any sort of hard wear is given them. There is a suit in the highest of yellow. It is almost a lemon color. It is made on strictly plain and tailored lines and it gracefully follows the lines of the figure without in the least being called fitted. Another popular tweed is a stee- gray. This is as delicate as can be in coloring, but it does permit of the wearing of colorful and interesting hats. It makes its wearer inconspicu- ous on the street, while at the same time it succeeds in looking most distinctive. There is a cream colored suit made only for sports wear, and with that brown stockings and shoes, with a brown scarf, are accenting notes of much interest. White tweeds for both coats and suits are very much the order of the day. So if you wish to spend your time keeping clean, then have one of them, for at least you will be assured of being smart looking. NEW NECKWEAR FOR SPRING Sets of Lingerie Collars and Cuffs With Deep Berthas in Net and Other Fabrics In neckwear, matched sets of lingerie collars and cuffs, with deep berthas in net, in lace or in organdie stand out as the leading features for spring. Platted stoles on the clerical order also are featured, and are being brought out for wear with the new square-cut neck finish. Numerous matched sets consisting of wide collars with gaulett cuffs made of plain linen, of embroidered net, or of organdie, lace trimmed and embroidered with metal, are shown. A certain revival of interest in the Ascot stock in pique is to be noted. These are indorsed by several of the leading makers for wear with the severe type of tailored suits. In general, separate neckwear when worn at all, is in white or in deep cru tints. No demand at all is registered for colored neckwear. GOWNS FOR THE DEBUTANTE Laces, Silks, Satins and Velvets Among Charming Soft Fabrics Favored by Misses. For the debutante the season is one of laces and silks, satins and velvets. She leaves elaborate embroideries and heavy broaches to her older sister, and favors the soft, charming fabrics that are so suited to the debutante type of today. She has learned the values of beauty—that beauty is proportion, and that to dress beautifully is to dress in harmony not only with the season and fashions of the moment, but with one's age and type. Taffeta is always appropriate and becoming, and this season it is being so much worn that the debutante may have several taffeta frocks in various textures and designs. If she finds that satin enhances her type of loveliness, the debutante will wisely combine it with lace, which brings a freshness to this material. Becoming Collars. Upstanding ruffs of taffeta or tulle are seen on many of the newest frocks. This softens the line about the back of the neck and is more flattering than the severe line. BEQUEST FOR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR COLORED STUDENTS New York, March 23.—(Crusader Service.)—The will of Horatio P.

The residuary estate goes to Tuskegee. Reid--Duffy Pharmacy 24th and Lake Ste. Free Delivery Webster 0000 FROM NEBRASKA TO tomers. One of the customers at the lunch counter was Leonard Coleman of Omaha, who warmly greeted me, and expressed surprise at seeing me as I at seeing him. There were only a few passengers of both sexes at this time in the waiting room. They were neatly dressed and well behaved. If all the waiting rooms were as attractive, convenient and well-appointed as this one "For Colored," there could be no room for robjection upon this score. But this dual system, omnipresent in the South, is fundamentally WRONG, and because it is fundamentally wrong, it must eventually go. It is economically wasteful, which is another consideration. And to an impartial observer this system of segregation presents many childish and foolish inconsistencies. For example, while colored passengers are not allowed to occupy the waiting rooms reserved "For White" and vice versa, when it comes to buying magazines and newspapers or checking parcels, colored passengers must go into the white section to do these things. To consistently carry out this dual plan, there should be separate news stands and separate checking rooms. Separation all along the line. And then to carry the thing out perfectly some genius ought to invent a process by which heaven's life giving air should be so divided that God's children of differing hue might not breathe the same air. In its ultimate analysis, one thing is just as reasonable as the other. The South has its traditions and its views which, no doubt, it honestly holds. It believes its dual system, which is economically wasteful and ethically unjust, to be wise. Economically wasteful because it calls for duplication and overlapping; ethically unjust, because it does not give to its black citizens that for which they pay taxation, direct and indirect. And then, too, it makes for suspicion and distrust, instead of amity, unity and good-will.

Zion Baptist church were poorly attended in the forenoon, though at night some few were out. Rev. H. W. Botts delivered a very interesting sermon.

For over 200 years wars raged and nation succeeded nation in possession of the island of Ceylon, in their greed to obtain the fragrant cinnamon. Finally the land fell to the lot of the Portuguese, who so cruelly treated the natives that they appealed to the Dutch, with whom they were on friendly terms, to come to their aid. This nation for seven months laid siege to the island, carrying on a fierce warfare in which many persons perished. Finally in possession, the Dutch were hardly less cruel to the natives than their former rulers. They tried to keep the monopoly of the trade of the world; not a single cinnamon plant was allowed to leave the island. If the crop was larger than that demanded by trade and the price in danger of being lowered, all that remained was burned or thrown into the sea. Cinnamon is now grown in many tropical countries, and much improved by cultivation. The Claim of Columbus "Oh, no," sald Columbus, calmly, as he sat down to dinner with the other shades on board the houseboat in the Styx. "I don't feel jealous of Washington. He is the Father of His Country, and I am not. I only discovered the orphan. I knew the country before it had a father or a mother. There wasn't anybody who was willing to be even a sister to it when I knew it. But Washington took it in hand, groomed it down, spanked it when it needed it, and started it off on the career which has made it worth while for me to let my name be known in connection with it. Why should I be jealous of him?" —Philadelphia Inquirer. Amos Grant Company Modern Homes $2,800.00 An eight-room, partly modern home in good condition.
