Glass of Virginia Shows His Opaqueness --- WANTS FEDERAL AUTHORITIES TO PROSECUTE FLOGGING CASES Congressman Madden Demands That the Department of Justice Take Drastic Action in the Alabama Outrages, Citing Numerous Brutalities Inflicted Upon Innocent Victims Among Both Races LIFTIN LIFT T $2.00 a Year a Copy Glass WANTS FEDERAL A TO PROSECUT Congressman Madden Deman Justice Take Drastic Action Citing Numerous Brutalities Victims Amor Washington, D. C.—Federal intervention in the Alabama "flogging scandals" for the purpose of enforcing respect for the constitutional rights and liberties of citizens was appealed for Friday by Representative Martin B. Madden, republican, of Illinois. Citing cases of numerous crimes perpetrated against colored persons and poor whites. Representative Madden called at the Department of Justice and urged immediate action by the U. S. authorities. Called Disgrace to Country Called Disgrace to Country "The outrages described in dispatches from Alabama form one of the blackest pages in American history," said Madden upon emerging from the conference at the Department of Justice. "It makes the blood boil to read the details of these fiendish persecutions. The state that tolerates such abuses of the rights and liberties of human beings, guaranteed by our government, must hang her head in shame, if she be not shameless. Seeks Recourse "I came to the Department of Justice to see if there is not some recourse to a higher power in behalf of these poor Negroes and other victims of bigotry, intolerance, race hatred and orgiastic brutality. These outrages have been taking place with steadily increasing frequency in Alabama and other southern states for years. State authorities have been either unable or unwilling to cope with these lawbreakers." To Be Decided Mr. Madden conferred with Acting Attorney General John Marshall and Assistant Attorney General Oscar R. Duhring. Oliver E. Pagan, the RANDOLPH WILL PUSH DIXIE AREA CAMPAIGN New York City.—Realizing that the Pullman company recruits most of its new men from the heart of Dixie, A. Phillip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and editor of The Messenger, is shortly to invade that section on a speaking tour designed to build up sentiment favorable to the porters' union. Among the cities he will visit are Durham, N. C., Jacksonville, Fla., Atlanta, Ga., and New Orleans, La. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was founded over two years ago and has since grown to a membership of 8,000 being the largest Negro labor organization in the United States, it is said. It has aroused much nationwide interest by its sheer militancy, solidarity and intelligent and courageous leadership. FINANCIAL CAMPAIGN FOR PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SECURES LARGE AMOUNT Louisville, K.—The Presbyterian and Reformed churches of this city have just completed a financial campaign in which $94,000 was raised to provide a new building for the Presbyterian Colored Mission, located in this city. This institution, under the direction of Rev. John Little, has long been recognized as one of the most successful and important enterprises of its kind in the country. The result of the recent campaign indicates clearly that it possesses the complete confidence of the church people of Louisville. The campaign was conducted by more than 300 men and women, who gave their services for a period of four days. The funds will be used in constructing a community center, including a church auditorium, Sunday school rooms, gymnasium, bath house, domestic science rooms, club rooms, etc. Of the amount secured, the colored people contributed $5,000. THE MONITOR indictment expert, was called into the conference for advice on the questions of federal jurisdiction involved. The upshot of the discussion was an agreement that the matter of federal intervention should be submitted to Attorney General Sargent upon his return to Washington from Vermont, where he is directing flood relief activities. Madden said he had obtained no assurance of federal action, but that he is hopeful that the attorney general, after careful consideration of the facts in the numerous flogging cases, will institute proceedings for federal grand jury indictment of the offenders. There is considerable difference of opinion among government lawyers concerning the ground for federal prosecution of the persons, who by duress succeeded in obtaining title of Arthur Hitt's 45-acre farm and driving him from the country. By some of them it is maintained that the acts in question are not violative of either the fourth or the fourteenth amendments to the constitution. Hitt Case Considered The fourth amendment guarantees "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures"; the forcible invasion of the cabin of Arthur Hitt by a hooded gang and the kidnapping and flogging of Hitt might be mildly characterized as an "unreasonable search and seizure", but the supreme court has held that the fourth amendment applies not to the acts of individuals but to the acts of the federal government. The amendment forbids the federal government to commit an unreasonable search and seizure. THOUSANDS ATTEND "TIGER" FLOWERS' FUNERAI Atlanta, Ga.—The body of "Tiger" Flowers was laid to rest here November 21st, after one of the most notable tributes ever paid a deceased citizen of this community. Seven thousand people of both races packed the city auditorium, which had been volunteered by the authorities for the funeral services, and as many more stood outside unable to gain admission. For three hours eminent churchmen paid sincere tribute to the deceased, not as a prizefighter, but as a man of honor, of simple faith, and clean life—one who, even though a prizefighter, was recognized as seeking first to be a Christian. It is doubtful if such tributes were ever before paid to one of his profession, coming as they did, for the most part, from men who disapproved the profession, but were impelled in spite of it to respect the character of the man, his evident sincerity, and his generous deeds. All day Saturday, while the body lay in state at the fighter's home in this city, people filed past the bier in an unending line to the number, it is estimated, of fifty thousand. On all hands were heard words of praise for the character of the dead fighter and of regret that he had passed away. The daily papers united in the general acclaim, devoting many columns to appreciative stories of Flowers' career and character, and to pictures of the fighter and of the impressive funeral scenes. TUSKEGEE WOMAN'S CLUB SEND N. A. A. C. P. $25 New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has received a check for $25 from the Tuskegee Woman's club, of which Mrs. R. R. Moton is president, it was announced recently. The letter of transmittal says in part: "We are sending $25 towards the work you are doing so well and in which we are thoroughly interested."

Divorce, common" or "trial marriages" are a product of the family and subversive people afford to give such evils with any hope of advancement deals? There has been much publicity given to a recent "companionate marriage" in Kansas. This latest novelty connubial has found its opponents and its defenders. Many of the "intelligentia," the "emancipated" and the like, who preen themselves upon their superiority, mental and moral, to the common people, defend it; while the common, ordinary people, simple, plain, "unenlightened" folk oppose it, and prefer the old system of marriage, despite its faults and failings, to the new with its old promises of perfection. To be perfectly frank, the proposed "companionate" or "trial marriage," in the face of the appalling growth of divorce in the United States and its apparent popularity, does not differ much from the conventional marriage. Divorce statistics would seem to indicate that those who take upon themselves the solemn vows of marriage, do so with a mental reservation, which is not so open and honest as that of these young people in Kansas. If this were not so, divorce and the consequent breaking up of homes and families, would not be so common. We cannot but believe that, due largely to ignorance concerning the nature and responsibilities of marriage, there is lurking in the minds of many young people contracting marriage, the thought that if everything be not to their liking they will break the bond or "contract" and form a union with another, this union to be regarded only so long as it may be pleasing to either party. "Companionate marriage" means a temporary union that may become permanent if or when both parties to the temporary agreement are perfectly satisfied with each other later on. Stripped bare of all fallacies it must be apparent to the most untutored mind how this undercuts the very foundation of the family upon which rests the security of the state and the perpetuity of the race. What real difference is there between the avowed temporary union and the easy system of divorce which permits separation almost ad libitum with permission to form another union? Is there, as a matter of fact, any difference? In the one case the temporary character of the union is frankly and openly avowed. In the other it is tacitly avowed. The principle in each is the same and equally menaces the family which has its foundation in honorable marriage. Divorce, we are reliably informed by the Department of Commerce, is increasing faster than marriage in the United States. In 1926, while marriages increased 1.2 per cent, as compared with 1925, divorces increased 3.1 per cent, more than double, in the same period. Is not this truly an alarming condition? If the discussion resulting from proposed "companionate" or trial marriages, will open our eyes to the divorce evil and disclose the importance of frank and earnest teaching concerning marriage and its responsibilities, and this should carry with it proper and wholesome instruction concerning the beauty, dignity and mystery of sex, so as to restore, in some degree, at least, greater respect for marriage and the marriage state, it will prove a blessing. We, as a people, almost fatally wounded by the institution of slavery in the very fount of our being, the family, and yet surviving from this grievous hurt and building up happy and virtuous homes, can least of all afford to encourage low views of marriage. We need a raising rather than any lowering of moral standards. The well-being of our people, as that of all people, centers in wholesome family life, which is not only menaced but destroyed, by the lax views current in some quarters today concerning marriage. Divorce, common law unions, and "companionate" or "trial marriages" are all alike in principle and destructive of the family and subversive of morality. Can we as a people afford to give such evils countenance or encouragement with any hope of advancement in character, efficiency or ideals? CHARLESTON ERECTING NEW SCHOOLS FOR NEGRO CHILDREN Charleston, S. C. — Seven new school buildings, providing seats for a thousand colored children, are now in the process of erection in Charleston county, according to H. H. McCarley, the county superintendent of education. Lincoln school, McClellanville, the largest of the seven, has been completed and will soon be occupied. This is a four-room modern structure, costing $4,400, of which $3,000 was supplied by the county, $1,000 by the Rosenwald fund, and $600 by the colored people of the district. The latter gave also the land on which the building was erected. The other buildings will be erected through the same sort of cooperation between the county, the community, and the Rosenwald fund.

ADDITIONAL CLERKS SIGN ANTI-SEGREGATION PROTEST New York City.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is informed by the president of the Washington branch, Neval H. Thomas, that three additional clerks have signed a letter to William Spry, commissioner of the General Land Office, protesting against segregation there. This brings the number of signers of this protest to 15, out of a total of 21 colored clerks affected. The latest three signers reported from Washington are Roscoe W. Ross, and Geo. H. Gray, both on leave when the original appeal was filed, and S. H. Brent. Vol. XIII—Number 22 SOUTHERNER TELLS HOW NEGRO IS DISFRANCHISED IN SOUTHERN STATES Sees Great Change Coming in Next Generation New York City.—Writing in the December number of the Forum magazine, George Fort Milton, a white Southerner, tells how the Negro has been "legally" disfranchised in the southern states. Mr. Milton states: "It is true that the southern states succeeded in limiting the effectiveness of Negro suffrage. This one purpose underlies all the suffrage laws adopted by the several southern states . . . . By hedging the voting privilege with conditions and qualifications which force the citizen who wishes to vote to undertake affirmative steps involving considerable trouble, attention to detail, and a certain minimum of intelligence, the primary object has been attained. Legally the Negro is not debarred from voting; practically, however, he is debarred very effectively—not as a race, but, for the most part, as a class, which, in common with certain whites, can not meet the requirements imposed." Mr. Milton reports that letters he has received from leaders in several southern states indicate a "new southern attitude" towards the Negro vote. His own attitude he states as follows: "Many southerners like myself favor a greater exercise of the franchise by the Negro throughout the south, believing that he would be a greater asset if he were trained for political, legal and economic equality with the whites. But I confess freely that the voting Negro in cities which have come under my observation, has hitherto served merely as a tool for debauching elections, and maintaining corrupt and unfit men in power. "But there are hopeful features in this situation. Intelligent and educated Negroes show an increasing tendency to, revolt against casting their ballots in block at the bidding of a local political machine. As Negro education increases, as his economic condition improves, the Negro will undoubtedly show a greater tendency to pay his own poll tax, qualify under the law, make up his own mind on political issues, and cast his vote. The next generation will inevitably see a great change in the condition of Negro suffrage in the south."

GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 644 ueness NEGRO SUFFRAGE IS CLOSELY LINKED UP TO DRY AMENDMENT Southerner Advocates Enforcement of Dry Law but Violation of Laws Giving Citizenship and Ballot to Negroes CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT Washington, D. C.—Negro suffrage has been linked up with the dry amendment. The attitude of a southerner, Carter Glass, democrat, senator from Virginia, is that the eighteenth amendment should be enforced, but that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, giving colored persons citizenship and the right of voting should not be upheld. The opinion of a northerner, William E. Borah, republican, senator from Idaho, was that all should be enforced. Would Disfranchise Negroes Virginia declared it was "stupid" to draw an analogy between the South's views on the two subjects. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, he said, were born "in the passions of the war and constitute an attempt to destroy white civilization in nearly one-third of the country and to erect on its ruins an Ethiopian state ignorant, profligate, corrupt. He termed their adoption an "unspeakable crime" and expressed his doubts as to whether the amendments ever had been constitutionally ratified. On the other hand, he asserted the prohibition amendment had been duly ratified by 46 of the 48 states and legal machinery for its enforcement provided. Glass disclaimed any intention of criticizing those who seek repeal of the eighteenth amendment condemning only those who he said mock the law and applaud its violation. For Amendments Mr. Borah declared he would lend his support to any effort to have the republican national convention pledge itself to enforcement not only of the prohibition law, as he had previously recommended, but of the Negro suffrage amendment as well. He declined to express a view as to whether any violation of the amendments existed, but asserted that if such a violation was believed or charged, it should be included in any stand the party might take on the subject. "It would be a magnificent thing," he said, "if this discussion of the eighteenth amendment leads to a more settled determination to uphold and maintain the Constitution as a whole." BRANCH OF URBAN LEAGUE IS ORGANIZED HERE The organization of an Omaha Branch of the National Urban League was perfected Monday afternoon at a meeting held at the Y. M. C. A., with Dr. Peebles, chairman of the temporary committee, presiding. The purpose and work of the League were briefly stated by T. Arnold Hill. The constitution as prepared by the committee was read by Mrs. Carrie Ada Campbell and adopted. The report of the committee on nominations for the Board of Managers was presented by Dr. H. von W. Schulte, and adopted. The Board of Managers immediately met and, as provided by the constitution, elected the following officers: President, Isaac N. Carpenter, Jr.; vice presidents, Dr. Jesse E. ten and Mr. A. C. Cushman; secretary, Dr. Craig Morris. The election of treasurer was deferred. The Board of Managers, which is to consist of eighteen members, divided among both races, consists of the following, who were elected for terms of one, two and three years, respectively: Isaac Carpenter, president; Dr. J. H. Hutten and C. A. Cunshman, vice presidents; Dr. Craig Morris, secretary; Mrs. J. H. Kulakofsky, Col. T. A. Leisen, Walter T. Page, Mrs. Casper Offut, Sr., Dr. D. W. Gooden, Mrs. H. Rhone, M. L. Hunter, Nathaniel Hunter, Rev. John H. Grant, A. B. Scruggs, Father John Albert Williams and Ford E. Hovey. Two other members are to be elected.

TRANSPARENT GLASS Senator Glass of Virginia, with the consistent inconsistency of southerners, is insistent upon the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment, and wants federal agents sent into the different states to enforce it, but is equally insistent that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments shall not be enforced in the southern states. His line of argument by which he justifies, or attempts to justify, his inconsistent position, of which he seems sublimely unconscious, is far from illuminating or convincing and one wonders how a learned southern senator could seriously submit such speciousness and delude himself into thinking it an argument. Southern myopia on the race question explains it. Senator Glass overlooks the fact that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments are equally as much a part of the Constitution of the United States as is the Eighteenth, and as such should be enforced. Of course, they have been nullified, but this nullification is wrong and indefensible. Loyal Americans should stand for the enforcement of the Constitution. Senator Glass is a nullificationist of the same kidney as those who in other sections oppose the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment. The Virginia senator's attitude, though inconsistent, is quite transparent. Some glass is opaque, and some glass is transparent. NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN The genial and efficient Charles A. McCloud, of York, Nebraska, is desirous of succeeding himself as Republican National Committeeman, and we see no reason why this laudable ambition should not be gratified. The Monitor knows of no better choice that could be made and wishes Mr. McCloud success. Petitions for his candidacy are being circulated by his friends and ardent supporters. STILL OUR CHOICE We have not said anything about it lately, but Walter W. Head of Nebraska is still our choice for the republican nomination for president in 1928. As we have said before, he is not a politician and the politicians may not want him, but he is an astute, level-headed, broad-minded business man, closely in touch with the financial east and the agricultural west. Nebraska is believed to be rather rich in democrats of presidential caliber, why not let the country know that Nebraska has republicans of large presidential dimensions and that Walter W. Head is one of them. Let republican leaders in this state get busy and the next republican president may be Head of Nebraska. Let aside your modesty, gentlemen, go to it and put Nebraska on the map in national republican political circles. It can be done done. LET'S HAVE IT No one who has ever visited the Douglas County hospital will deny that the old antiquated and overcrowded building has long outgrown its usefulness and should be replaced by a modern, up-to-date plant. It is therefore to be hoped that the present effort of all forward-looking citizens to secure a new building may be successful. The county's indigent sick and unfortunate should have adequate provision for their care. The successful and opulent of today, through circumstances over which he has no control, may tomorrow need the care of such an institution. Less important enterprises may be postponed, but a new hospital is needed now. Let's have it.

BACHELOR BENEDICT CLUB GIVES DELIGHTFUL PARTY One of the prettiest parties of the season was that given Saturday evening by the Bachelor Benedict club, at their beautiful club rooms, 2425½ North Twenty-fourth street. Dancing and cards were the attractions of the evening. At midnight a dainty luncheon was served. The rooms were decorated with the club colors, which added much to the pleasure of the guests. The outstanding feature of the evening was the drawing for a $5.00 gold piece, which was won by Miss Clara Westbrook. Dr. C. H.

DETROIT RECTOR IS WELCOME OMAHA VISITOR Wee pee Meee aU eee taser rector of St. Matthew's church, De- troit, Mich., was celebrant at the 7:30 a. m, eucharist at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, Sunday morn- ing, and preacher at the sung euchar- ist at 11 o'clock, when Father Wil- liams, rector of the parish, was cele- brant. Father Daniel also addressed the Church school, His sermon, which was based upon the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand as recorded in the Gospel according to St. John, was scholarly, thought-compelling and inspiring and made a deep impression upon the large congregation present. The speaker stressed the inclusive- ness of the Gospel, and therefore by its nature the incompatibility of any spirit of nationalism with the Chris- tian religion. The same two classes who confronted our Lord, narrow na- tionalists and those under economic pressure who are chiefly concerned with material things, are with us to- day, with their various gradations, misunderstanding, misinterpreting, and misapplying the religion of Jesus Christ, which emphasizes brotherhood and the motivating power of love. Christianity has given new value to human life, banished slavery and raised the status of womanhood. As a people none owe more to Christi- anity than do our people and none would suffer more if its power and influence wane. The salvation and the hope of humanity depend wholly upon the Cross of Christ, which stands for love, joy, peace and good- will for all God’s children every- where. Sunday evening, at the request of Fr. Williams, Fr. Daniel paptized Henrietta Ellen, infant daughter of Dr. and Mrs. John A. Singleton, whose marriage he had solemninzed in St. Philip's church, New York, ten years ago. Mrs. Singleton, nee Daisy Goring, having been one of his Sun- day school children, Another inter- esting feature of this service was the fact that the godmother, Mrs. Charles T. Smith, formerly of Brosklyn, N. x was at one time a parishioner of Fr. Daniel's. Among other interesting features and surprises of Fr. Daniel's visit to Omaha was his meeting here of Mr. J, Frank Smith, formerly of Brook- lyn, N. Y., now senior warden of St. Philip's, Omaha, and whom he had not seen for twenty-one years. The Detroit rector left for his home Monday, after an all too brief visit here, where he made a most favor- lable and delightful impression upon all who had the privilege of meeting him, METHODISTS HOLDING QUARTERLY CONFERENCES ‘The Rev. John Adams, presiding elder of the Omaha district, who has been attending conferences in the South, Is expected home Saturday to conduct quarterly conference in St. John’s A. M.

Such a fighter was "Tiger" Flowers, whose sudden death in New York following a minor operation came as a shock to the athletic world and as a grievous blow to the tens of thousands of friends this sturdy Negro possessed among both races in his native Georgia. In the ring "Tiger" Flowers reached the highest pinnacle possible in his class and thus brought to his native state glory and honor. But beyond this achievement "Tiger" Flowers reached the supreme heights. With all his honors, with all the adulation showered on him in many states, with all the temptations set before him in other lands, this big and open-hearted Georgia Negro chose to live and walk with his old friends and his old comrades in his old home and among his old haunts in Atlanta. His head was never turned. He brought credit to the Negro race at home as well as abroad. He was a clean living man, a man who loved his family and his home life and who had the desire and the stamina to resist those temptations which have not always been resisted by the champions of the boxing ring, both those of the white race and those of the Negro race. Thrifty and frugal, "Tiger" Flowers husbanded his gains from many hard and bitterly fought ring battles and with them chose to do good deeds and good works. He was a liberal contributor to the activities of his church in which he served as a deacon. He was a contributor to many funds for the betterment of Atlanta. He built for himself and his family a magnificent home and in its possession he had no envy from the persons of any race. The ring record of "Tiger" Flowers is known to every schoolboy in Georgia. It was a victorious and glorious record in more ways than one. He won many glorious victories yet he was even greater in defeat. He won the championship of his class and showed the bigness of his heart by almost immediately entering the ring to defend his title. He gave his rivals every chance demanded of a square and honest fighter, and, although many of his opponents failed to measure up to his standard, the grizzled old "Tiger" never forgot his sportsmanship. As one of the many marks of the high esteem in which he is held by members of his race, directors of Lincoln Memorial park have donated a plot for the use of "Tiger" and his heirs. Mayor Admits Uselessness of Trying to Defeat N. A. A. C. P. Injunction New York City.—A determined stand in the Indiana courts, financed by the Gary branch and the national office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with generous co-operation of colored attorneys, has squarely defeated the attempt to segregate colored students in the Emerson High school of Gary, Mayor Floyd E. Williams being quoted in the Gary Post-Tribune, a white daily, as saying, "he was convinced the action of the school board in appropriating the $15,000 for the temporary building was illegal and that it was a useless waste of money to try to defeat the injunction." The injunction against the appropriation of $15,000 for a segregated school was brought in the names of A. J. Terry, a contractor and builder, and Rev. Charles Hawkins, pastor of the First Baptist church of Gary, both colored taxpayers of the city. The national office of the N. A. A. C. P. appropriated $500 for this fight, sending R. L. Bailey of Indianapolis as its attorney to assist the attorneys employed by the Gary branch. The branch has spent an unprecedentedly small sum on this important case, less than $300 to date, testifying to the loyalty and enthusiasm of the colored attorneys who have helped to gain the smashing victory. The N. A. A. C. P. entered the case at the very outset, the branch under the leadership of its president, John W. Russell, retaining attorneys to fight the segregation attempt, acquiesced in by the city council in deference to a strike of Ku Klux Klan inspired white students late in September. On the night of September 29, the city council of Gary voted $15,000 for a "temporary" high school to house the colored students then study- Let us figure your repair or lumber bill.

P. filed suit for an injunction to restrain the appropriation of taxpayers' money for such a purpose. The following lawyers of Gary, besides R. L. Bailey of Indianapolis, were associated in the case: F. Lawrence Anderson, Charles H. Mason, C. L. Carroll, and Edward McKinley Bacoyn. On October 13, William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who had gone to Gary to assist in the fight, reported by telegraph that the case had been venued from Lake to Porter county, as the mayor reported too much prejudice for a fair trial in Lake county. On November 7, the original restraining order against the appropriation for a segregated high school was continued as a temporary injunction and final hearing set for December 12. At that time Attorney R. L. Bailey reported telegraphically to the N. A. A. C. P. national office that he did not believe the defendants would let the matter come to trial. On November 18, the mayor of Gary was publicly quoted as saying it was useless to fight the N. A. A. C. P. injunction. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., today reports by letter that the Gary council met Monday night, November 21, to act on the mayor's recommendation that it rescind its action appropriating the $15,000. The motion rescinding the appropriation was passed in its first and second reading and the final passage is expected at the next meeting of the council on the first Monday in December. The victory in the Gary fight is a testimonial not only to the devotion of the colored attorneys in the case, but to the united stand of the colored people of Gary under the able leadership of the Gary branch. THE DECEMBER OPPORTUNITY Opportunity: Journal of Negro Life for December promises to be a fitting issue closing an eventful year. Eugene Gordon in "Outstanding Negro Newspapers for 1927," contributes his yearly appraisal of racial newspapers, measuring and scoring them on the points of general news value, columns, departments and special features, editorials, makeup, and general attractiveness. Mr. Gordon has done a conscientious and discriminating critical survey, and his article is calculated to draw interesting comment and results long into next year. In "Racial Segregation," William Pickens hits hard an insidious institution, dissecting its evil influences from angles not hitherto considered. As a follower of our recent article on Haiti by Mr. John Vandercook, Mr. Rayford Logan of Virginia Union university has translated for us "Haiti Under the Rule of the United States," an impassioned indictment of the American occupation, by Mr. Dantes Bellegarde, former commissioner of education in Haiti and a fiery patriot. An extremely interesting essay, the prize winning essay of our last contest, is offered in "Moving Pictures in an Old Song Shop," by Julian E. Bagley of Los Angeles, Cal. Editorials by Charles S. Johnson, the standard columns, The Ebony Flute and The Dark Tower, distinguished poetry and book reviews, as well as the practical vaule of an index of the material carried during the entire year, all contribute toward an issue too important to be missed. Nothing is more embarrassing to a person, especially one of the younger set, than to have a face covered with a mass of pimples or blackheads, which is not very conducive to popularity. Many a good friendship has been spoiled by just such a complexion; but sometimes such conditions may be confused with a more complicated and malignant skin eruption. Such being the case, one should use every precaution in patronizing barber shops whose dermaticians are able to determine this difference by knowing the structure of the skin, and how it functions. The skin is lubricated by the oil gland known as the sabacious glands. When the sabacious glands are not active the skin becomes very oily. If the skin is not taken care of properly the oily secretions harden, clogging the pores, and each pore is capped on the surface with dust from the oil.

If the skin is not taken care of properly the oily secretions harden, clogging the pores, and each pore is capped on the surface with dust from the oil. Thus, those malicious little disturbances known as blackheads put in their appearance. At this stage the follicles are abnormally large due to the pressure of dried oil, dead cells, and microbe invasion, results in infection, that causes a harvest of pimples. It must be remembered the skin must primarily be kept clean, otherwise very little can be accomplished. Sometimes a whole crop of pimples may result from one lone infection.

Care should be taken in this case by using the best methods of treatment, also patronizing places where strict rules of sanitation are practiced. The use of clean towels and clean hands, sterilized tools, which are sources of the precautions to be used; as skin infections sometimes prove more disastrous than organic diseases.
