Included in the list of tradesmen and business enterprises conducted by them are 6,339 dealers in groceries 3,194 hucksters and peddlers; 3,009 butchers and meat dealers; 1,759 dealers in coal and wood; 1,132 junk dealers; 689 produce and provision dealers; 256 furniture stores; 272 dealers in dry goods, fancy goods and notions; fruit dealers; 216; boot and shoe, 143; clothing and men's furnishings, 128; jewelry, 95; hardware, stoves and cutlery, 74; lumber, 60; and automobiles and accessories, 55. There are also 884 general stores; 910 druggists and pharmacists; 573 candy and confectionery stores; 194 cigar and tobacco stores; 10 department, and 13 5-and-10-cent stores. Other retail dealers specialize in such things as art and artists' materials, bicycles, books, carpets and rugs, coffee and tea, crockery and glassware, flowers, flour and feed, furs, gas fixtures and electrical supplies, harness, ice, leather and hides, milk, millinery, music and musical instruments, oil, paint and wall paper, optical goods, rags and stationery. With proper racial support it is reasonable to believe that the number and the business volume of these establishments could be materially increased and thus give employment and training to hundreds of our young men and women, many of whom find it difficult to obtain other than menial work. COLORED "JAZZ" PLAYERS FIGURE IN DOUBLE DISPUTE Paris, Nov. 30. -While the fashionable cabaret club Docous was filled with Americans, just before day-break, the police, accompanied by a bailiff, seized the night's receipts on complaint of a group of Negro entertainers that the club had violated its contract with them. The manager of the club, which is in the heart of the opera district, and sells champagne higher than in Montmartre, said his American clientele objected to the presence of the Negro minstrels. The contract also called for their brief appearance nightly to accompany Edith Gould's dances, but Miss Gould's manager, Albert de Courville, of London, also protested the arrangement whereby the jazz players were seated on the stage with her. Spring Hill Baptist Church of which the Rev. J. Bruce is pastor will conduct a revival beginning next Monday night. The services will be in charge of the Rev. F. P. Jones of Western Baptist College, Kansas City, Mo. The Rev. Mr. Jones bears the reputation of being an effective evangelist and convincing speaker. Perhaps the foul name of Ku Klux should be changed to the fowl name of Few Klucks. --- THE MONITOR NEGROES CONDUCT BIG BUILDING AND ' LOAN BUSINESS During Nearly 35 Years They Handle Over $1,170,000 in Receipts—Make Loans Amounting to $850,000— Earn In Dividends Over $310,579 Hampton, Va., Nov. 30.—The colored people of Hammpton, Va., have conducted, for nearly 35 years, a building and loan association, which has handled in receipts $1,173,723.19; made loans amounting to $850,355.94; earned in dividends $310,579.63; and made 1835 real-estate loans.

FOREIGN STUDENTS VISIT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Hampton, Va., Nov. 30.—A party of thirty-seven men and women from the International Institute of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, representing thirteen counties scattered from Canada to the Far East and South Africa, recently left for Baltimore County, after spending three days in studying the educational zims, methods, and results of Hampton Institute, the pioneer industrial school for Negroes and Indians at which Dr. Booker T. Washington was trained. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, said that the visitation of these foreign educators was a reminder that Hampton's training was not devised solely for colored people, but that it should prove valuable and indispensable for every race and country. RACE PREJUDICE IN FRENCH KONGO Paris. Nov. 30.—Reno Maran, a state employee in the Kongo, has just arrived for a series of lectures in which he will plead for better fellowship between blacks and whites, that French prestige in Africa may not vanish. Maran last year attracted attention by winning the Gencourt prize with his novel "Batoula," wherein he described with remarkable precision the native traditions and habits. Assigned by the colonial ministry to study conditions in the Kongo, he now complains that the government's white employees, as a result of contact with their British and American colleagues are beginning to treat even educated Negroes as inferior, restaurants refusing to serve them at the same tables with whites, and railways not allowing them to enter carriages until all white Frenchmen are seated comfortably.—(The New York Herald.) RELIEF FUND NEAR $2,000 MARK Washington, Nov. 30.—Financial relief for the family of John W. Purcell, Washington's colored policeman, valiant in duty until the hour of his being slain, has practically reached the $2,000 mark. It is said that France is considering the dispensatory privilege of permitting foreign women to keep their own nationality after marriage to Frenchmen. Two white-crows were discovered in a flock of black ones at Cumberland, Maryland. The natives wonder if this is ornithological social equality. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1923 POLLAMS CONGRESS BUSINESS AGRICULTURE RAILROADS (Copyright, W. N. U.) SIGHTS, EXPERIENCES AND IMPRESSIONS OF A TRAVELLER WHO ATTENDED NATL. BAPTIST CONVENTION, LOS ANGELES (Continued from last week) The Western Pacific Railway does not run into San Francisco. On leaving this route, passengers and luggage are carried by ship over the bay to Oakland, where the train awaits. A sail across this magnificent bay is a very delightful experience. Many stood on the deck inhaling the breeze, and watching the ship plough her way through this great water, changing its placidity into rushing, dashing, foamy waves, leaving a shimmering temporary path in her wake. The route through the Feather River Canon, by which the Sierra Nevada Mts are pierced, had been recognized for years as the most desirable of all but because of the expense that would be necessary in the building, it was never used until accepted by the Western Pacific Engineers. The Canon is ninety miles long and affords every variety of picturesque scenery, not the least of which are the pretty little roaring, splashing cascades seen from time to time. This River is not very deep nor wide but is one of the longest river canons in the world through which a railroad passes. The serpent-like windings of the beautiful river, faithfully followed by the railroad, affords a great variety of scenic granduer. It is marvelous. Here God reveals himself through nature not so much in beauty as in wonder. O, that I could describe to you the thrills, the profound admiration and the deep reverence felt by one viewing these wonderful works of God. "Please, Auditor, why is this river called the Feather River?" "Years ago, the birds used to mate along this river and at that season the water would be covered with feathers, so the early settlers named it the "Feather River." he answered. Great sky-scraping Mountains of solid rock are seen on every side, one feels as if he were let down in a well. How dizzy one becomes viewing the great height of these rugged Canons, sometimes blue gray, or reddish brown and again a beautiful combination of many soft colors. Near Berry Creek there are more than forty tunnels blasted through mountains of stone. Only a very small portion of the track is seen at a time as the engine winds her way around and through these mountains. Looking back one is puzzled to realize which way he has come. To look at those tremendous rocks, merely hanging on, as it were apparently ready to tumble at the least jar fills one with fear. Here and there were little huts and foot paths at the base of the Mountains which was evidence of human visitation. Near Blenizig, California, the River Canon widens and the rugged rocks give place to luxuriant vegetation. Being quiet here the scene affords a pleasing change from the rocky walls and rushing waters of other portions of the Canon. Here it forms a looking glass for the nearby trees, as well is mirroring the sky. The Great Western Power Co. Plant at Intake, Calif., is of great interest. Although two hundred miles from San Francisco it supplies her electric power. This is regarded as one of the great developments of water power in the state of California. It is an oblong brick structure at the base of the mountains. Many small tracks lead from this plant up the mountain to another small building. Here the water is not very rough but farther up the river where the waters have been entrapped, as it were, the angry torrents leap like a lion at the bars of its cage. What a demonstration of man exercising his God-given power and authority. For God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over all the earth." Near Belden, California, one sees Ben Lomond Peak covered with snow while surrounding Mountains are green with pine trees. "Look out at the next station and see Rich, California" cried the auditor, the first mining camp, where a monument is erected in memory of the first white child that was born and its mother, who died at its birth." Every one looked out and saw a once popular mining camp—that boasted in the early days of gold excitement 2,000 inhabitants. Here the foundation of the first masonic lodge established in the state is still to be seen. The Feather River still contains much gold, in dust and nuggets, and miners may be seen working at various points along the way. Farther on we see men delving in the bowels of the earth and bringing forth coal. All these things have been stored away for him by his loving Father, who has riches untold. Thruout this district color matter from the rocks and minerals is seen in the water. In some places the gold quartz dust lying on the mountain side glitters in the sun. Williams Circle is another interesting point in California. In order to maintain the low grade it was necessary to describe a circle which is about one mile in diameter. Feather River Inn is an attractive building built entirely of logs and is a very large structure with a large porch surrounding it. Here may be seen the plank walk which leads to the station. On the other side of the Inn the walk is continued and leads to the various camps, some fifteen in number scattered along the hill! side. The Feather River Inn is one of the most complete resorts located in the stte of California, and was constructed in 1915. Good bve, lovely and wonderful California, we are loathe to leave you! California's and Washington's alien land laws have been upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court. NEWSLETS Howard Carter is back in Luxford to resume work in King Tut's tomb. The Fahrenheit system of college degrees shows a strong disposition to disagree. The vehement sentiment echoed by ex-President Wilson's Armistice Day speech is apt to encourage a split in the Democratic party. A bible class at Kansas City is flatly accused by J. R. Lingenfelter of wilfully cheating in the inter-city attendance contest. Washington police declare that a colored maid nearly strangled to death by endeavoring to secrete four stoller one-dollar notes in her mouth. Mayor W. C. Rhean, of Lancaster,帕 vehemently decried the placing of white roses on the flaming cross of the Ku-Klux Klan during its ceremonies. The Mayor deemed the action as an "insult" to the roses. Senator Underwood, of Alabama, is apparently waning in whatever enthusiasm he may have had for the Ku-Klux Klan. The senator is quoted as saying that no progress will be made by any organization which has as its principal aim the fighting of races and religions. A delegation of Ku-Klux recently became so invisible in parade formation that eleven prisoners, aided by outside assistance, escaped from the jail at Arlington, Va. The jail officials, it is said, had temporarily forsaken their duties for a glimpse of the hooded knights. Under the efficient management of Mrs. Elizabeth Buford and her sister, Mrs. Bert Johnson, a china shower was given at the Old Folks Home Monday night, 'at which time a beautiful set of white table ware was provided for the Home. A very pleasant informal reception was held at the Home on this occasion. Next Wednesday night the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors will be held. A full attendance of all members of the Home Association is desired. RECOVERING FROM INJURIES Emery R. Smith, a city employee, who was recently injured in an automobile accident as he was returning from work has nearly recovered from the injuries sustained. Mr. Smith was riding in one of the city automobiles when a truck run into it and hurled Mr. Smith to the pavement. He was treated for his injuries by Dr. L. E. Britt. Whole Number 438 BED TIME STORIES ON A PULLMAN SMOKER "China's" wife had left him and the separation preyed upon his mind. In the old days he had been a bartender, premier and par excellent, whose legerdemain in extracting palatable platitudes from forbidden juices made him famous from Coast to Coast. He was as well known on Lenox Avenue as State street, and if you spoke the term of "China" in Nome or at the Golden Gate, they would ask you: "Which dye mean? The country or the bartender?" He was that famous. But his wife had a pull for society and she nagged at poor "China" in continently and consistently. So "China" quit his job. Tony almost wept when "China" told him he'd have to go. Tony was "China's" boss and friend and loved him like a brother. In fact, everybody seemed to love "China" but his wife, and the famous one would have swapped the whole world for her love. Tony brought his finest cussing combinations into play in the way of protest. A bartending career as artistic as an Angelo was about to be blighted and "China" was many kinds of an emphasized damphool, but the retiring mixer was obdurate. "It's the missus, Tony," he said, "and her wishes must always be respected." Tony would have liked to give expression of what he thought of the missus; but something in "China's" eye broadcasted a cautious "better not." So, "China" went th eway of all the roses. He got him a respectable job here, and there, and finally obtained one on the railroad. It took sometime for him to become accustomed to the work. Lifting a heavy berth was not like juggling a gin-fizz and he suffered. The money did not come so fast and the wife resumed her nagging. She always wanted money. Once or twice he was forced to "tap Tony," as he termed it, for twenty or twenty-five, and that hurt his pride. And, then, his wife just picked up and left. That was too much for "China" and his mind would not stand the burden. He became z harmless, poor-witted fellow who wandered around the old haunts, carrying a bag, imagining he was "going out on his run." Everybody had a kindly word for him and he never suffered, save for that one place in his heart that only one thing could fill. "What are you doing, 'China'?" Tony asked him one day. "Oh, I'm cooking on the road. Just fixing to go out on my run now." "Since you're cooking," pursued Tony, "I would be glad if you baked me a cake." "Well, Tone, I might do that," replied the poor fellow. "Wait, I'll tell you what I'll do. I won't bake you a cake. I'll bake you a pie." And then he went on his way, a smile on his face and waving his hand to old friends. But finally the strain became too heavy for "China." There was a longing that his friends could never fill. His health was falling. The old bag he carried became shabbier and shabbier, and "China" himself was fading away. One day he was missing. Didn't show up all day. Tony drove his big red car down Calumet way where "China" lived and was gone for two hours. Coming back, he stopped at his favorite watering place. "Have a drink fellows," he said brokenly, "n' give me one, too! Poor "China" has gone on his long run." PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH Services were well attended. The Rev. F. A. Pinkney of Colorado Springs, Col., preached in the morning and the pastor at night. The B. Y. P. U. rendered an interesting progra into a capacity house.

This will go a long ways towards paying off this indebtedness. If you will be kind enough to do this and call Rev. J. S. Blaine, Webster 6855, we will have truck call for same. GROWING THANK YOU 8 Vol. IX—No. 22 ping CLAIMED CALVIN COOLIDGE CENTER POLITICAL FIGHT Alleged That President Has Broken Faith In Dealing With Tuskegee Hospital for Disabled Veterans Considered As An Announcement That White South Must be Won Even At Risk of Race Allenation In North Washington, Nov. 30—Negro leaders are trying to build a political machine out of the 500,000 members of their race who migrated from the South this year in order to oppose President Coolidge if he enters the primaries and to defeat Ku Klux Klan candidates in the Middle West. On the theory that the Southern Negro has had no experience in voting and will yield readily to tutelage the most ambitious political activity of the race is being planned. President Coolidge is a target because he appointed C. Bascom Slemp as his secretary and because, the Negroes assert, he has failed to carry out the Administration pledge of a complete colored staff for the Tuskegee (Ala.) Hospital, built for Negro ex-service men. Shelby J. Davidson, local representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said today the organization work will be carried on by the 440 branches of the association. Questionaires will be sent all candidates in the Republican primaries asking their position on the Ku Klux, Tuskegee and the Anti-Lynching Bill, he said. At present the Negroes are looking for a Republican Presidential candidate to whom they can throw their votes. No bolt from Mr. Coolidge to Hiram Johnson is intended. Johnson, they allege, promised some of the Southern Democrats to oppose the Lynching Bill if it came to a count of noses. If no candidate regarded as favorable to the Negro stand on the three questions appears, the primary strength will settle on favorite sons or will be held off and given to Senator La Follette on a Farmer-Labor Ticket. Nothing further from President Coolidge is anticipated between now and the primaries that will alter the determination to oppose him, according to Davidson. There are no immediate prospects that he will place a Negro physician in charge of the Tuskegee Hospital and the appointment of Secretary Slemp is accepted as announcement that he desires a following among the Southern whites, at a sacrifice of losing the Negroes in the North. What strength the Negroes can exert in the primaries remains to be seen. Most of those who have crossed the Mason-Dixon line have moved to cities where the black population already is large, and in some sections, their leaders contend, they will hold the balance of power between the two major parties. CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP. THE DEACON During Advent, the Rev. John Albert Williams will presch a special course of four sermons at the 11 o'clock sung eucharist on "The Coming of the King."

To sustain an excellent reputation, an organization has been assembled for the support of Harry (Rib) Shannon and Artie Leeming, the featured comedians, that promised to provide entertainment of superior class and brilliancy.

REED Licensed Embalmer and Funeral QUEEN IS FAIRY GODMOTHER But Wilhelmina's Gift to Laboreer's Child Was Grabbed by Father and Brother. Little stories reflecting Queen Wilhelmina's popularity with her subjects appear from time to time in the continental press. The Petit Parisien reports that recently, while motoring in the outskirts of The Hague, the Dutch sovereign was attracted by the unusual beauty of a laborer's child who waved to her. She stopped her car to chat with the little girl, asked her name and kissed her. A few days later the delighted child received a parcel from the palace containing a beautiful pair of gloves, the right-hand glove filled with caramels and the left with gold pieces. Accompanying the gift was a note from the queen asking her little friend to write and tell her which of the gloves gave her the most pleasure. In due time the child's reply, on tear-stained note paper, reached the palace. "Your majesty," it read, "I don't know which glove I liked the best, because my daddy took the left-hand glove and my brother took the right." The queen, in good story-book style, promptly duplicated the gift, making certain, however, that the child should not be robbed by grasping father or greedy brother. It is not related whether or not she repeated her rather embarrassing inquiry. LION OF WATERLOO TOPPLING Glory of the Old Battlefield Eclipse by Events of the World War. The great lion on the field of Waterloo is reported in danger of collapse. The base upon which it rests is in ruins. The battlefield of more than a century ago has been forgotten by most people in the rush to the new field of glory. Where Napoleon and Wellington contended does not concern the tourists who want to see where Foch and Hindenburg were making their fame. And the lion has lasted much longer than either the Corsican or the Englishman, neither of whom had another claim upon the attention of the world, observes the Fort Worth Telegram. The poet Shelley sang the requiem of all the glory of might in the picture of a crumbled statue half covered with sand, bearing the inscription: winn sum, bearing the inscription, "My king is Ozymandias, king of kings." kings; Look away, works, ye mighty and despair; Nothing beside remains. Of that colossal wreck, boundless and The lone and level sands stretch far away. The lion of Waterloo, the lion of military rumbles, rests on a foundation that crumbles with time. Why patch it up? Autos Thick in London According to officials of the London safety first council, it is less safe to walk the streets of London than to travel by rail or by air. During the past year 684 people were killed and 26,322 injured in London's streets. During the same time the toll on the whole of England's railways was only 728 killed and 19,462 injured. Long periods of flying occur without a single passenger being killed. Of the fatal accidents in London, 505 were caused by motorcars, motor vans, etc., and 65 by motor busses. In the first quarter of the present year street accidents in the metropolitan area totaled 13,930, of which 104 were fatal. Of the latter 107 were caused by motorcars, motor vans, etc., and 16 by motor busses. Paternoster Row. Paternoster row is a street in London, near St. Paul's cathedral. Early in the last century it was the seat of the great publishing houses; but, in later years, these moved away to the neighborhood of the Strand and Piccadilly and left the "Row" to the book-sellers of the metropolis. The origin of the name is variously accounted for. According to some, the street was so called from the rosary, or paternoster, makers that dwelt there; others, however, say that it was so named because all funeral processes, en route for St. Paul's, commenced their paternosters on entering this street, and continued to say them until they reached the gate of the cathedral. Quake Caused Earth to Drop. Intense damage in the vicinity of Yokohama, caused by the recent earthquake in Japan, was due to a drop of four feet in the surface of the earth, which may have resulted from activity of the volcano on the Island of Oshima, southwest of Yokohama, in the opinion of Thomas A. Jaggar, Jr., volcanologist in charge of the Hawaiian volcano observatory, who has returned to Hawaii from Japan, where he made a survey of the damage wrought by the temblors. The death toll in the earthquake, tidal wave and fire was estimated at 400,000 by Mr. Jaggar, and the damage to property at $8,000,000,000. Acting With a Lion A Hollywood motion picture director was trying to persuade a super to wrestle with a lion. "You needn't be afraid," he said, "the beast is perfectly tame. He never tasted raw meat." "No; perhaps not, replied the perspiring actor. "But that doesn't mean that he may not have curiosity."—Everybody's Magazine.

Eyeglasses worn by nine presidents of the United States are owned by Dr Fred A. Stengel of Marion, O., whose chief hobby appears to be the collection of curios. The oldest pair in the group is that which surmounted Thomas Jefferson's nose in 1801, when Jefferson was fifty-eight. Doctor Stengel purchased the glasses from an aged Virginian who lived near Monticello, Jefferson's home. This pair has a metal frame. Of contemporary interest is President Harding's first, pair, which Stengel himself fitted when the president was editor of the Marion Star and never dreamed of some day becoming the Chief Executive. Harding selected a shell frame, oxford style, when it became necessary to reinforce his vison. Glasses used by Theodore Roosevelt, too, who was nicknamed "Four Eyes" when, as a beardless youth, he sought to recover his health on a Western ranch, are in Stengel's collection. In the collection are spectacles which belonged to Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, James A. Garfield, William H. Harrison, James K. Polk and Rutherford B. Hayes.—Columbia Record. BIRD MELODIES AND MUSIC Beautiful Passages in Works of Great Composers Borrowed From Feathered Singers. The successful broadcasting of the song of canaries and the response of other birds miles away from the point of transmission will provide new impetus for the discussion of the contribution bird melodies have made to music. It has been claimed by close students of bird life that many of the most beautiful passages in the works of great composers are lifted note by note from the birds, and that the patient watcher may hear Beethoven from the throat of an oriole, note for note and measure for measure, emphasis and everything. Nor is this the only incident cited. They number, literally, scores. There is nothing surprising in this. Bird-music is the most fluent and natural in the world; so-called coloratura voices merely are imitation of the bird voice, and their most noted numbers are usually entitled with some allusion to birds. No one who has listened to the surprising flights of melody of which a canary is capable but marvels at the mysteries which create such a tiny, delicate and perfect mechanism.-Detroit News. Gives $50 for Twins. Max Dick, at 69-73 Rivington street, New York, which is known as the "house of babies," because 52 families with more than 200 children live there, recently made good his standing promise to present cash prizes to tenants who became parents of twins. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Berger became the possessors of twins, which brought their family up to five. The twins, a boy and a girl, each weighing 5½ pounds, were named Samuel and Esther. "Uncle" Dick, as he is called, attended the feast and afterward handed Mrs. Berger $50 in gold and told her that she could forget rent day until the end of February. Max Dick has a unique record among East side landlords. He has not increased the rent in twenty-five years and has never ousted a jobless tenant for nonpayment of rent. He arrived here penniless forty years ago from Austria. First he worked in a tailor's shop and then he tended bar. With his savings he bought the tenement house. In 1908 he offered $50 for every pair of twins born there and $150 for the ninth child if it were a boy. At the same time he assured his tenants that large families would not mean high rents and he has kept his word. Too Rich to Be a Communist. Questions of doctrine continue to trouble Communists—both pundits in high places and the simple minded faithful in the villages. Heretical conduct, as well as heretical opinion, is ground for excluding men from the party. The story is told of a humble and sincere Communist rural family, where the wife was an enterprising woman of the thrifty, "managing" type. She gradually accumulated a pig, some fowls and some rabbits, which multiplied until by selling part of them and a few household belongings she was able to buy a cow. Thus eventually she developed a little stock farm. However, the family's unusual standard of well being was looked upon with suspicion by the husband's fellow Communists, who decided to exclude him from the party. In the course of his trial for heresy the delicate point came up as to just how many turkeys changed a Communist into a bourjojo.-Living Age. Russian Crop Acreage Gains. Russian Crop Acreage Game. Russian agriculture is beginning to show signs of coming back as a factor in world agricultural trade, although still short of prewar production, according to a special survey of Russian conditions made by the Department of Agriculture at Washington, which reports an increase of from 15 to 20 per cent in the acreage sown to crops this season.
