The repeal of these laws would allow both races to ride together without separation on railroad trains, street cars, elevators and other public conveyances. Would do away with the Colored people coaches, on railroad trains, the Colored section on street cars, and elevators for Colored people in office buildings. What action the committee took on the subject, if any, is a matter of speculation. There is one report that some of the highest officials on the committee were in favor of the repeal of the Jim Crow. The committee was formed for the purpose of eliminating friction between races. Its object is to consider complaints as they arise, recognize them if the people are in the right, and endeavor to remove quietly and without publicity, the source of the complaint. One of the forms of race equality upon which leaders of the race are strongly insisting, it is understood, is the "discrimination" against members of the race on railroads, street cars, office buildings, elevators, and in hotels, restaurants and theatres. VALUE OF A LIFE PLACED AT $1,000 BY ALABAMA JURY VALUE OF A LIFE PLACED AT $1,000 BY ALABAMA JURY (By The Associated Negro Press) Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 20.—$1,000.00 for a life lost by criminal negligence was practically the verdict by the federal jury in the recent case of J. B. Carter against the Central of Georgia railway. The plaintiff had asked for $25,000 damages, as compensation for the death of Taylor, who was killed June 11, 1917. The jury by its verdict sustained the contention of the plaintiff that an engineer who is looking along the track from an engine must of necessity see any object the size of a man on the track, and that his testimony that he did not see such an object is open to controversy. Another plea sustained by the verdict was that though railroad employees are not bound to keep a look out along the track for trespassers, yet if a trespasser is discovered and no warning is given or attempt made to stop the train, the railroad is responsible. Simon Taylor was employed by the railroad for splitting cross-ties, for fuel at a pumphouse near Goodwater. The plaintiff alleged that in order to carry ties across the railroad track and thus discharge his duty, he was consequently not a trespasser at the time it was alleged that he was killed. It was further alleged that he was struck without warning, after being discovered on the track, and that even admitting that he was a trespasser the plaintiff was entitled to damages. DR. R. R.

Applications for options on stock have been coming from every part of the country. President Gilllespie, when interviewed as to the progress of the company, replied, "The Liberty Life continues uppermost in the minds of the people who are thinking. It is doubtful if there has been another institution in the last decade that has attracted so many people of our race from all avenues of life, who are determined to be pioneers in Big Business in the North. The industrial depression hit some of our stockholders but many others are making application for these options as fast as they come in. I attribute our success in the stock sales campaign to the fact, primarily that everyone, whether a one share or a hundred shareholder, has ben treated alike. The first share was sold for thirty dollars and those who are fortunate enough to get an option now are pay ing the same price. This same policy, which has brought us so much success during the organization of the company, will be religiously followed as long as I am at the hein of the institution. pany maintains beautiful offices at The Liberty Life Insurance Company maintains beautiful offices at 3515 Indiana avenue.

Goldwire, of Griffin; Willmer Singleton, of Keysville; Jas, Beck, of Savannah; Howard Lindley, of Atlanta; Edward Simmons, of Savannah; Allen Paden, of Adams Run; Hiram Miller, of Savannah, and Palmer Morrison, of Atlanta, all Negroes, were held by United States Commissioner Charles J. Skinner, Jr., in $5,000 bonds, each, to answer to federal charges of "assault and battery upon the person of a United States' mail carrier." All of the accused are students of the Payne Institute. It was stated before the commissioner that because he refused to remove his hat while in Payne Institute, William E. Wilhelm, an eighteen-year-old white boy, and a special delivery messenger for the Augusta postoffice, was assaulted by eleven pupils of the school, ranging in age from sixteen to nineteen years. It is said Wilhelm was struck in the face and his hat knocked off and that the letters he was carrying were scattered about the floor. The details of the alleged assault are as follows: Upon his first round to deliver a letter to an address at the Institute, the white boy entered the hall and delivered the letter. As he was about to make his exit, a student approached Wilhelm and said: "Take your hat off, boy." Wilhelm did not remove his hat. Others went to the aid of their fellow student and began battering the carrier, whose letters dropped to the floor. A woman is said to have picked them up. CHICAGO BAPTISTS PURCHASE $75,000 CHURCH BUILDING CHICAGO BAPTISTS PURCHASE $75,000 CHURCH BUILDING (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Jan. 20.—From a residence prayer meeting organization to an incorporated religious body, worshiping in an edifice valued at $360,000.00 may sound like fiction, but it is the actual story of Pilgrim Baptist church, Chicago. The congregation has recently purchased the magnificent Jewish Temple, Indiana avenue and East Thirty-third street, for a cash consideration of $75,000.00, and the opening week has just closed. Dr. S. E. J. Watson, who became pastor of the church only last May is responsible for the success. A number of the leading officers of the church, including Dr. E. C. Morris, of Little Rock, president of the National Baptist convention; Dr. Jordon, secretary of the foreign missionary board, and Mrs. Layton, of the women's division of Philadelphia; together with the leading white Baptist officials of Chicago, ministers of various denominations, business men and the public generally assisted in the opening.

Henderson was elected councilman by the Hamtramck village council to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of Clayton E.

Racial groups should not be represented in the cabinet."

FRENCH DEPUTIES SAY WILSON WAS INCONSISTENT (By The Associated Negro Press) Paris, Jan. 20.—In the chamber of deputies during a debate on Algiers, Deputy Andre Berthon said he regretted that the nations had not rallied to the doctrines of President Wilson. "He ought to have commenced by regulating the question of the blacks in the United States," interjected Deputy Molinie. "There is no such question among us." "There also is in America a certain imperialism." M. Berthon replied. "I was pained during the war at seeing American officers refuse to salute black officers who were fighting in the same cause for civilization and justice."

WILL FORCE HAND OF KLU KLUX KLANNERS (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Jan. 20.—In a statement James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., says: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will force the Ku Klux Klan into the light." The 'Imperial wizard' of the Klan is on the defensive. He will soon be on the run. "Evidence of the activities of the Klan was placed before the house committee on the census when representatives of the Advancement association testified there. "At the meeting in New York on January 3, when the Ku Klux Klan was discussed, Colored people contributed $1,500.00 to the Association's fight. "Colored people throughout the United States are urged to obtain all Klux Klan and its activities. Such information, if sent to the Advancement association at 70 Fifth avenue, New York, will be transmitted to the federal department of justice and laid before the United States congress." LOUISVILLE SCHOOL SUES FOR $30,000; AWARDED $10,000 LOUISVILLE SCHOOL SUES FOR $30,000; AWARDED $10,000 (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., Jan. 20.—Louisville State University," a Colored institution, received $10,000.00 from the estate of Dr. J. S. Anderson, "Indian doctor," who died at Somerset last year. The amount was awarded the university by a decision of the Pulaski County Circuit court.

BLACK BILLY SUNDAY WILL WRITE A BOOK FOR NEGRO BAPTISTS BLACK BILLY SUNDAY WILL WRITE A BOOK FOR NEGRO BAPTISTS (By The Associated Negro Press) Austin, Texas, Jan. 20.—To make an accurate Negro Baptist Year Book, giving record of what the Three Million Negro Baptists in the more than 18,000 Baptist Churches and Sunday Schools are doing is the stupendous task that has been coming to Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, better known throughout the country as the "Black Billy Sunday," formerly field Evangelist of the National Baptist Convention, one of the most versatile and interesting Negro writers of the day. At the annual session the National Convention recently held at Columbus, Ohio. Dr. McPherson, was placed in charge of the Department of Publicity as Director, and for sometime he has been buisuy engaged in gathering statistics, and other useful data, surveys and general denominational information both National, and from the various states. One of the special features of the Year Book will be the Mipisters Official Directory, giving the name and correct postoffice address of thousands of Ministers; directory of the National and state conventions officials, including foreign missionaries, thus making the book a comprendeum of useful information. World's Record Is Established By A Colored Bricklayer (By The Associated Negro Press) Elberton, Ga., Jan. 20.—What is believed to be a new world's record was hung up here by Jim Meriwether, Colored, who laid 12,000 brick by actual count in two hours. That was a record of 100 bricks per minute for the entire two hours. It required twelve able-bodied men to wait upon him. He is laying the vitrified brick on one of the main thoroughfares of Elberton. JIM CROW POSTS AUTHORIZED FOR COLORED VETERANS JIM CROW POSTS AUTHORIZED FOR COLORED VETERANS (By The Associated Negro Press) Worcester, Mass., Jan. 20.—The organization of separate posts for Colored men was authorized at the first meeting of the council of administration of the Massachusetts department, Veterans of Foreign Wars. Efforts will be made to encourage all Colored men who saw foreign service in Uncle Sam's armed forces, establish such posts. In authorizing the organization of Colored veterans' posts, the council acted in accordance with the regulations of the national department, which refused to allow Colored men to join white posts, and vice versa. Council members will make campaigns in their own sections to interest men in the plan. In Worcester this work will be done by John Trump, representative of Worcester veterans on the council. CRIMINAL THINKS PROVIDENCE WON'T PERMIT HANGING (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Jan. 20.—"They can't hang me, God won't let 'em," said Grover Cleveland Redding, foremost figure in the "Abyssinian riot" her last June. Redding had been found guilty and sentenced to hang together with Oscar McGavitt, his chief lieutenant, for participation in the street brawl in the heart of the Colored section, at which Robert L. Rose, a sailor, and Joseph Hart, a cigar clerk, both white, had been killed, and Patrolman Joseph Owens, Colored, severely wounded. The other five defendants were found not guilty. They are: Harry Lee, Edward Rush, James Briggs, Dennis Brown and Allen White. The riot occurred during a parade led by Redding and Jonah, and organized for the purpose of recruiting Negroes to the "Back to Abyssinia" movement, of which Redding was the head and self-acclaimed prophet of God. Exercises followed the parade and Redding burned an American flag at the corner of Indiana avenue and Thirty-fifth street. Rose, who was in uniform, interfered and was shot. Mob hysteria followed, in which Hart was also slain. Throughout his trial Redding feigned insanity and it was necessary to tie him down on several occasions when he tried to fight with court attaches. Redding's insanity plea was shattered Wednesday when Dr. William O. Krohn, state alienist, testified Redding had admitted the deception to him as his only chance to escape the rope. Many people have expressed the opinion that Redding is really Insane. His actions and speech are very erratic. Redding handed a Colored reporter the card of one of the assistant state's attorneys and told him that the state's attorney was his lawyer. One of the defendant's asked the same reporter, "to go and see my boss and have him come get me out." They seemed to have no comprehension of the extent of the charge against them. They are simply people of low intelligence and it is said that a white agitator known the country over as "Jonah" who was their leader and who was arrested at the time of the riot, in which he was one of the chief paraders, but who was later released, fired them with the folish zeal which led to the trouble. Jonah is said to be still organizing Abyssinian movements throughout the country.

C., Jan. 20.—The Alpha Phi Alpa fraternity with 23 undergraduate chapters located at the leading colleges and universities throughout the United States, a new undergraduate chapter just set apart at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, and seven graduate chapters located in the principal cities of the United States, including New York, Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City, Louisville, Norfolk and Baltimore, at its 13th annual convention held in Kansas City, December 27th to 31st, 1920, gave approval to the application for the establishment of three additional chapters of the fraternity, one of which is to be located at the University of California. The Kansas City convention also gave its approval to the continuance of the "Go to High School, Go to College" movement which was inaugurated and so well conducted by the fraternity during the spring of 1920. The Alpha Phi Alpha is the pioneer college fraternity among Negroes, having been organized at Cornell university in 1906, and it is interesting to note the development of fraternity life among Negro college students, ther now being some seven or eight national Negro college fraternities and three or more national Negro college sororities. The 1921 meeting of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will be held in Baltimore, Md., December 27th to 31st, 1921. The headquarters of the national secretary, Norman L. McGhee, is at Howard university, Washington, D. C. INHUMAN FATHER IS KILLED BY HIS LITTLE DAUGHTER INHUMAN FATHER IS KILLED BY HIS LITTLE DAUGHTER (By The Associated Negro Press) Greensboro, N. C., Jan. 20.—A homicide took place at Merry Oaks when Dennis Stewart was shot and instantly killed by his 17-year-old girl, Alta. The coroner was summoned and an inquest was held. It developed at the inquest that Dennis was the most brutal father in the country. The trouble started when he beat the girl with a stick of wood over some trivial matter and she left home, returning next day. He made her strip her clothing that night and with a big hickory whip whipped her unmercifully for about an hour, according to the testimony of the girl and a brother, and about noon the next day he gave her another beating and swore he was going to kill her and the rest of the children before night, at the same time showing them his pistol with which he said he would kill them. About 4 o'clock he started in again and the son, Phil, went to the rescue of the girl and he made for him and ran him out of the house. Just as he reached the porch, Alta seized a gun which stood behind the door and shot him through a window, the load striking him squarely in the back. He crawled a few feet to the door and died. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that he came to his death from gunshot wounds from a gun in the hands of Alta Stewart in defense of her own life. Stewart had run off his two older sons by his cruel treatment and it was stated by his neighbors and children that his wife's death was caused by his mean treatment to her. The girl that did the killing was in a pitiful plight, body, head and limbs scarred and swollen and she couldn't walk without assistance. tals and Negroes attend the same school as white children. "We have several Orientals and Colored pupils in the school and I should say that all Colored children be sent to one special school" declared she. "I believe the board should establish a school for Orientals, Negroes and all Colored people and keep the other schools for white children only."

Whatever we may think of the local financial condition, and we are always prone to think conditions worse than they really are, Phoenix cannot afford not to give its citizens more protection than they are now given. We have not enough policemen—either to guard against burglaries or hold-ups at night or to enforce the traffic regulations in the day time. Hardly a night passes without one or more hold-ups or burglaries. The life of one man was taken on Tuesday night and the property of another who gave it up probably in lieu of his life. Inefficient policing is without excuse. The community stands, we believe, back of every proposal calculated to strengthen the department in its effort to maintain order and insure a reasonable measure of safety to citizens. But efficient policing is not enough, as long experience here and elsewhere amplify proves. If leniency is to be the guiding principle in the dispensation of justice the best efforts of the best police system in the world will be brought to naught. The result we desire will not be achieved without the fullest co-operation on the part of police, prosecutors and judges. We do not confine our observations on this point to dealing with major crimes, but we include the treatment of all crimes against the laws and ordinances, for major crimes are seldom committed until the criminal has graduated from the field of minor crimes. The law abiding, law respecting element in the community constitutes the overwhelming majority. The murderers, real and potential, the bandits, the thugs and rowdies—social parasites all,—are an insignificant minority of the population. It is ridiculous to believe that the minority can continue to terrorize a community unless the community prefers to be terrorized rather than to exert the effort necessary to suppress the offenders. Here, as elsewhere, the prevalence of crimes of violence constitutes a striking indictment of judicial leniency. The suspended sentence has cost many a citizen his life or savings. An insufficient bail bond has led to many a murder. Many a desperate criminal has been paroled to engage anew in his career of lawlessness. Mere spasmodic effort on the part of any branch of the public service can not accomplish the desired results. There must be daily, steadfast attention to duty; an unremitting pursuit of law-breakers; an unbending sense of justice which recognizes public safety as the paramount concern of the police, the prosecutors and the courts.* We should not wait for "crime waves" but should so control the situation that no "wave" can form. Those in control of the machinery of justice must be taught by constant public insistence that mere intermittent attention to duty is not enough. Crooks succeed only through constant vigilance. The war on crooks will succeed only through like vigilance. There should be a thorough round-up of all suspicious characters in Phoenix. The police should ascertain precisely how every unknown loafer about pool halls and similar places lives. The inquiries they make in certain cases may seem impertinent and unwarranted, but nevertheless they should be made to the end that public safety may be secured by driving out of the city, from whatever hole in which they may be hiding, the men whose presence is a menace to the safety of the law abiding—Arizona Republican. JUSTICE FOR ALL the great deal of satisfaction to the Negro man and periodical circulation of the race in justice to all men. Of the fact that there is a misguided minor who are secretly organizing to create distractions and periodicals are bolstering up the fact that the great majority of the people of the paramount asset of all the people. Like any other human being, as he grows as do other rational beings, and what worries as an ignorant being does not enter force as one unable to reason from cause to believe in ghosts and vodooism is fast the common-sense man, who does not believe must be convinced. So is greatly misguided is the white man who understands and refuses to acknowledge, that the Negro of today are two distinct and the lesson of self-protection, and if any so do their own hands to deprive him or his success, he, too, must organize to protect him privileges. He gets to obeying the laws of God, the man the laws made by man, and he reasons that eges vouchsafed to any particular people be none conceived by man, and none which is not specially conferred.—Ex. It is with a great deal of satisfaction to the Negro that we find the entire newspaper and periodical circulation of the race united upon the platform of equal justice to all men. In the face of the fact that there is a misguided minority of white men in this country, who are secretly organizing to create distrust in the land, the Negro newspapers and periodicals are bolstering up the courage of the race in the belief that the great majority of the people of the United States place the law as the paramount asset of all the people. The Negro, like any other human being, as he grows in intelligence, learns to reason as do other rational beings, and what worried his mind and disturbed his nerves as an ignorant being does not enter into his make-up with the same force as one unable to reason from cause to effect. The Negro who used to believe in ghosts and vodooism is fast disappearing, and in his stead is the common-sense man, who does not believe in scarecrow habiliments and must be convinced. The man who is greatly misguided is the white man who cannot understand, or who understands and refuses to acknowledge, that the Negro of yesterday and the Negro of today are two distinct and different persons. Having learned the lesson of self-protection, and if any set of citizens can take the law into their own hands to deprive him or his life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness, he, too, must organize to protect himself in the enjoyment of these privileges. The nearer he gets to obeying the laws of God, the more nearly can he come to obeying the laws made by man, and he reasons that since there are no special privileges vouchsafed to any particular people in the laws of God, there should be none conceived by man, and none shall arrogate to themselves that which is not specially conferred—Ex.

NEW ANGLE GIVEN RACE PROBLEM BY TRICKY WRITERS (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Jan. 20—There is a concerted effort, with more or less suspicious motives, to manufacture sentiment in favor of the southern idea of dealing with the "race problem." The following editorial which has come under the observation of the Associated Negro Press has appeared, without credit lines, in fifty or more daily southern newspapers. Each editorial has the same caption, as is always the case in similar editorials. The caption of this editorial, "Chicago As A Negro City," It says, "Chicago has carried through its boast that it would double its Negro population in the decade. The increase is 148.5 per cent, as against 21 per cent for the whites. The Negroes have grown proportionately in numbers more than seven times as fast as the whites. Total Negroes in Chicago, 109,594, which carries it above Baltimore, and possibly Washington, with New York City probably its chief competitor. The changed conditions in this country are shown by the fact that the two cities with the largest Negro population are now in the north, Chicago and New York, and that the next two Baltimore and Washington, are in the so-called "border states" with possibly another northern city sixth, Philadelphia. The only southern city which comes any where near these is New Orleans, which may show a slight falling off in the number of its Negroes, like the neighboring counties of Louisiana and Mississippi. The result is due to three causes the fact that many railroads in this section run directly into Chicago, so that it is easy for Negroes from Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee to slip into the Illinois metropolis; secondly, the camp for the southern Negroes during the war was at Grant, near Chicago; and, finally, political influence for Chicago politicians have stimulated this immigration, finding the Negro voters easily controlled by them. There are 50,000 Negro voters in Chicago who are segregated in the south division, and have largely a determining influence in Chicago politics. "It will be remembered that immediately after the Civil War some extremists on the race question suggested that a district or territory of the United States be set off as a reservation for the Negroes alone, a sort of American Liberia. Possibly the south side of Chicago could be set aside for this purpose. Its population is almost exclusively Negro and its officials, state and municipal, are of the same race. "Many of these Negroes came origi- nary, and only a few years ago from Louisiana and Mississippi. The efforts to win them back to the south has not been encouraging. They are being held together by their large numbers and their political favors. The people of Chicago have awakened to the fact that they have a race problem of their own to solve, and a very marked differences of opinion have developed among them as to the proper treatment of the question, as the anti-Negro riots of last year showed. Chicago, therefore has a far kindlier sentiment towards the south in its efforts to solve these "race problems" fairly, justly and to the advantage of all. RACE COMMISSION APPOINTED BY LOWDEN GIVES REPORT (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Jan. 20—The Chicago Race Commission appointed by Governor Lowden immediately after the Chicago riot, made its final report to the Governor prior to the close of his term of office. The research and field work done by the staff of investigators covered a broad range. The character is indicated by a bare outline of the work in the said fields: Racial clashes: 1919 Chicago riot; seventeen antecedent clashes; three minor clashes in 1920; brief comparative study of Springfield riot in 1917 and Saint Louis in 1917. Racial contact: In schools, transportation lines, parks and other recreation places; contact in mixed neighborhoods, adjustment of southern Negro families coming to Chicago survey of Negro agencies and institutions. Housing: Data covering 22,448 Negroes in 192 plants; 101 plants visited puality of Negro labor; the widening opportunities and chance for promotion studied; special study of trade unions and the Negro worker. SATURDAY, JANUARY 22. 1921 Crime: Police statistics and convictors; Negroes and selected nationalists compared and analyzed for six years; also juvenile court cases; 698 cases one month; in three police courts studied including detailed social data on Negro cases; also 249 sex cases (two years) in criminal court; records of eleven penal institutions; environment survey of Negro areas. Public opinion: Files of white and Negro newspapers studied to analyze handling of matters relating to race relations; study of rumor and its effects, and of racial propaganda of white and Negro organizations. Governor Lowden complimented the commission on the results achieved and said he looked forward with the public to seeing a full report Lowden has not expressed his attitude with reference to the commission, but it is known that he is an advocate of equal and exact justice.

A man named Ben Nicholson was arrested by police officers Wednesday morning and is being held in connection with the murder, pending an investigation. The murder of Lyles has resulted in strong feeling among the better of his race in Phoenix. Rev. T. J. San his face in Phoenix. Rev. J. S. Stanford, pastor of the African M. E. church here, announced that a reward of $200 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for Lyle's death. Lyles, he decalred, was a member in good standing of the church and an earnest worker as well as a valuable citizen. Another, also of $500, has been offered by H. D. Meyer, general manager of the Moun- Mcvey, general manager of the Mountain States Telegraph and Telephone company, for the arrest and conviction of the slayer. Lyles was shot about 10 o'clock Tuesday night. He was either riding or leading a bicycle at the time of the shooting which occurred in a thickly populated neighborhood. A few moments after the shot was fired several persons ran to Lyles assistance and helped him into a nearby house. He died thirty minutes later after trying to give an account of the shooting. His statements were incoherent and provided no clew to the identity of the murderer. One theory is that it culminated from a quarrel between him and another man. This was borne out by finding a money pouch, untouched, on Lyle's body by officers who investigated the affair. Lyle's assailant was seen to run west on Lincoln street immediately after the shot was fired, but witnesses are unable to state whether he was a white man or a colored man. Two others, John Lane and S. V. Adams, were arrested Wednesday morning in Maricopa by Officer Frasier. They were intercepted there when they got off a freight train from Phoenix and held for the local officer. They now are in the city jail as suspects in connection with the murder. Lyles was about 45 years old. He was a 32nd degree Mason and a charter member of Salt River Valley Lodge, F. & A. M. He is survived by a widow and one child, living in 1107 South Fifth avenue. For the past several years he has held the position of janitor of the telephone building. An inquest into the death was held Thursday morning at 9 o'clock by Coroner Nat McKee. He who fails as president has a good chance of becoming a first rate citizen. Many were glad to see him enter, more will be glad to see him go. March is like any other month, it brings joy to some, gloom to others. If he had kept his word instead of trying to keep us out of war it might have been different.

MISSOURI'S NEGRO POPULATION MOSTLY RESIDENTS OF CITIES (By The Associated Negro Press) Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 20.—Most of the Negro population of Missouri lives in the congested areas of the cities, while only a small proportion can properly be classed as rural population, the Negro Industrial Commission said in a report that will be made to the next general assembly. The commission said it hoped to solve the problem of drawing the Negro from the city to the rural district, to engage in land production. The agents have made a survey of the Negro's condition, educationally economically and industrially, and has investigated his housing, health and moral condition. "Our investigators have found some conditions which cause grave concern," the report said. "For instance, it was discovered that out of 212,000 Negroes in Missouri only 49,000 live in hamlets and on farms. These figures reveal startling situations, that 70 per cent of the Colored population of the state is in the congested areas of the cities, while only 20 per cent can properly be classed as rural population. "The Negro under such environment brings little from the soil, while he is one of the largest consumers proportionately in the population. How to enable him to throw some of his strength into land productions as well as to better turn products of one soil into shape for human consumption, is one of Missouri's most vital problems, and one which the commission hopes to solve." Oldest Negro Church Celebrates Anniversary (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 20.—The Zoar Methodist Episcopal church, 12th and Melon streets, celebrated its 125th anniversary. Zoar church is the oldest church for Negroes in the United States. Four properties have been purchased on North street, adjoining the church, and the erection of a large community building, promised to rival any in the city, will be under way before long. The building will have large and modernly equipped rooms for all kinds of religious, social and educational work. An extensive library, gymnasium, rest rooms, billiard rooms and suitable halls for all forms of entertainment will be installed. In connection with the community building an industrial school where boys and girls may take up the study of trades has been planned. JAPANESE PROBLEM REACHES TEXAS (By The Associated Negro Press) Brownsville, Tex., Jan. 20.—The "Japanese Problem" has reached this section of Texas. Last Friday morning B. R. Kato, a Japanese colony promoter, was met as he dropped from the California Special and politely told that he was not a welcome visitor to Brownsville and in the same breath he was informed that he had forty-eight hours of stay in our midst. The message was delivered to the distinguished Japanese in the name of the American Legion, the local chamber of commerce and the retail merchants' association. Mr. Kato gave due heed to the admonitions of the committee and left the city well within the forty-eight hour time limit set for his stay here. FGHT TO SAVE INDUSTRIES AND PROPERTY (By The Associated Negro Press) In western legislatures there is a square fight to save property and business, industries and agriculture from the professional tax boosters who constitute the state and local governments. Budgets are increased and demands are doubled in many departments and war conditions gave opportunity to expand functions and officialism. Taxes have leaped from 50 to 300 per cent in two years. And there has been constant increase for 10 years past until the confiscation or absorption point has been reached. The tax boosters are largely responsible for the high cost of living. State income taxes are now proposed as new sources of revenue. When the farmers are taking six billions less for their crops than last year, when many factories are idle for lack of purchasing power on the port of the people, when wholesaler and retailer are taking losses of billions in the readjustment of prices, when labor is taking monthly wage reductions or no employment, why should not the overhead of state and county governments be reduced in the same proportion instead of voting increases. The Irish, the Jew, the Negro—three signs of hard luck. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING MRS. HOLT'S EXPERIENCE By Mrs. M. E. Holt NOTE: In the sewing room of her own home, and what she has experienced. She brought to her home an understanding of sewing gained from the study of domestic art in Prairie View Normal and Industrial college. The advice she gives will be helpful, as she has tried this and it has proven a success. Aprons All women need aprons, both for sewing and household use. For, any one who has had little experience in needlework, the making of a few simple pretty aprons will make her familiar with the use of the stitches and materials. Two sewing aprons can be made from three yards of lawn thirty-six inches wide. Tear the goods into three equal breadths. If the edges are uneven, pull the cross-wise threads into shape by stretching through the bias. From one length tear four strips thirty-six inches long and six inches wide for ties, and two lengths for the belt bands. The latter should be three inches wide and two inches shorter than the waist measure. Take one of the remaining large pieces and turn up a four-inch hem at one end by folding over a narrow turning and creasing evenly. Make a second turning four inches wide and crease. Baste along the line of the first turning and hem neatly with small even stitches, using fine cotton and small needle. Beginning with the selvage, slope the apron off a little at the top to keep it from hooping, up at the front. It should be one-half inch shorter at the center front than at the sides. Gather the top three-eighths of an inch in front of the edge and stroke the gathers Draw up, the threads, making the apron two-thirds of the waist measure. Pin the middle of the band to the middle of the apron on the right side. Hold the gataers toward you and back-stitch to the band. Hem the ties with three-eighths inch hems at the sides and two-inch hems at the ends. Lay a plait in the upper end making it one inch in width and back-stitch to the end of the band three-eighths of an inch from edge. Turn the band toward the wrong side of the apron, turn in raw edges three-eighths of an inch and hem to the gathers, covering the line of sewing. Turn in the ends of the hand and hem them to the ties. Over-hand the remaining spaces on the band. The apron may be finished without ties by cutting the band one and one-half inches longer than the waist measure. Turn in three-eights of an inch at each end and over-hand all around. Make two button holes at one end and sew two buttons at the other end. COLUMBUS, N. M. By Jno. D. Fears Sunday was a pleasant day and all churches had excellent services. The program of Fears' Missionary Institute was rendered with precision and Rev. H. G. Gandy preached a powerful sermon, the subject being "Sufficient Grace." Pastor R. L. Pearce, white; of Lordsburg, N. M., encouraged us with the subject, "Pray and Not Faint." He is expected again. This program goes from 3 to 5 p. m. every Sunday. The people should attend all religious services and do their duty when they are well and living. They expect the preachers to attend to their welfare when they marry, get sick or die; both have a duty accordingly. "The Golden Rule." Our people are patronizing each other's business places and reading Colored papers. This means race enterprise. We peeked in and found the 24th Infantry busy in general school work at Camp Furlong. They are learning arithmetic as well as marksmanship Believe me, they are wonderful and generous. Short Skirts Today Most Sane In History Says Dr. E. T. Seton (By The Associated Negro Press) Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 20.—"Why wear clothes?" Dr. Ernest Thompson Seaton, naturalist, asked today. "Sex morality," he continued, "has no relation to clothing, as is proved by the naked tribes of East Africa, the most moral people in the world in their natural state, but who always take a downward step morally when compelled by missionaries to wear colthing. "The shorter the `dress of the female and the lower the neck of her bodice, the greater her moral influence and the greater her tendency to health. "Women's costumes today are the most sane in history, and moving in the right direction." We wonder how many new "movements" will be born this year. Speaking of the German indemnity, there is also the devil to pay. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Jan. —The buted trombone and cornet, the syncopated music and the jazz band have had their day, according to Robert G. McCutcheon, head of the fine arts school of De Pauw university and secretary of the National Association of Music Teachers. "Jazz was born of the war," said Mr. McCutcheon. "It was an echo of the nation's hysteria. It came in on the wave of the dancing craze, but it is fast being abandoned in favor of good music." Music, especially community singing, the professor added, was a panacea for our social ills. It would dissolve the vapors of bolshevism and would sup- A. M. E. Church.

Chicago, Jan. —The buted trombone antd cornet, the syncopated music and the jazz band have had their day, according to Robert G. McCutcheon, head of the fine arts school of De Pauw university and secretary of the National Association of Music Teachers. "Jazz was born of the war," said Mr. McCutcheon. "It was an echo of the nation's hysteria. It came in on the wave of the dancing craze, but it is fast being abandoned in favor of good music." Music, especially community singing, the professor added, was a panacea for our social ills. It would dissolve the vapors of bolshevism and would supply the emotionalism formerly af- forded by strong drink. Mr. McCutecheon also stated that the movies have done much to popularize music in America, and that the appeal of music also is being recognized more and more by the churches. "The demand for music teachers, especially in the rural districts, is far tahead of the supply." BLACKS INDULGE IN SOUTHERN PASTIME (By The Associated Negro Press.) Purvis, Miss., Jan. —Negroes are believed to be responsible for the latest lynching in this state. Early last Wednesday morning the body of Coleman Brown, an aged Negro preacher, was found dangling from a tree and his body riddled with bullets. He had been released on bonds the day before in connection with the murder of a 14-year-old girl. He had been charged with the betrayal of the girl and later when her mutilated body was found in a nearby swamp he was arrested on suspicion of being the slayer. He was nevertheless released on bond by the local authorities and finding of his bullet-riddled body dangling from the limb of a tree followed. CHARGED WITH MURDER OF RELATIVE; DENIED BAIL (By The Associated Negro Press) Macon, Ga., Jan. 20.—Dr. M. C. Mitchell, a Colored physician and trugist here, was today indicted by the Bibb county grand jury on a charge of murder in connection with the alleged poisoning of his nephew Henry Mitchell, on whose life he carried $24,000 life insurance. Young Mitchell, a former service man, died under mysterious circumstances in Dr. Mitchell's home, and later, when his body was exhumed in Dooly county any analysis made of the vital organs, traces of poison sufficient to have caused death are alleged to have been found. Dr. Mitchell is now in Bibb county jail, having recently been refused bail. CHRISTMAS WEEK IN ENGLAND Time When Scattered Families Are United And Tender Memories Are Revived Many and great are the changes which have occurred in England since Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol," but they have not affected the national love for the festival and the determination to preserve unimpaired the traditional warmth and heartiness of its celebration. Christmas week is still the great week of the year to rite the English people. It is the one week when scattered families are reunited, when tender memories and old associations are revived, when friend greets a friend with a cheery expansiveness in striking contrast with the characteristic reserve of the English nature, so, undemonstrative to those who do not know it well, apparently so distant and unsympathetic. From Wednesday all business will be suspended, not to be resumed till Monday morning. The whole nation will give itself up to good cheer and good fellowship, and for a brief season, all strife and controversy are hushed, and peace, charity and concord reign supreme. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Savannah, Ga., Jan. —The validity of a group of Negro claimants to town property in this city was established recently by witnesses to a common law marriage which was made in the year of 1855 when the contracting parties were slaves. A $40,000 estimate was placed on the property in question which was directed by court order to be distributed among four sets of Negro heirs. Clothes from paper present a ray of hope to the man whose last suit has grown that thin. In London they are going to extend daylight saving. Here, we have forgotten we ever had it. 15,000 PEOPLE KILLED Fifteen thousand people were killed last year in motor car accidents, according to statistics. In addition to this, there were 150,000 others more or less seriously injured. These figures should cause very serious thought, for they mean that 41 persons each day, almost one in every hour of the day and night, paid with their lives in motor car accidents for the carelessness of some one. With the number of motor cars growing rapidly and the streets becoming more congested, this startling toll of death and injury seems certain to increase.-Arizona Republic. ARE YOU PROTECTED?

OUR RACE PROBLEM AN INSOLUBLE PROBLEM SAYS BRITISH AUTHOR (By The Associated Negro Press) London, Jan. —'The one almost insoluble problem before America, it seems to me, is the Negro problem," said Henry W. Nevinson, British author and war correspondent, on his return from the United States recently. "It is a most serious question—and will be a dangerous one; but America, I feel, has shirked it. She must grapple with it some day, for the debt of the sin of slavery must be paid." SATURDAY. JANUARY 22. 1921 $200 REWARD For information leading to the arrest of the man who murdered H. REV. T. J.
