On Januar DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR CAR Value so pronounced that you are justified in looking upon the purchase of a Dodge Brothers Motor Car as the soundest possible investment in transportation. Not a dollar is added to the purchase price to support a free service policy; nor to cover the costliness of numerous body or chassis types; nor to pay interest on borrowed money; nor to maintain a multiple organization of middlemen. Dodge Brothers finance themselves. They sell directly through a single organization of dealers to you. They do not believe in charging in advance for service you may never need. They have developed remarkable economies, and a time-seasoned product, by concentrating on standard types. These facts are reflected, not only in the price of the Car, but in the quality of workmanship and materials that enter into its construction. McARTHUR BROTHERS S.

Wright of Chicago, who has recently been appointed to the highest salaried position occupied by any Negro in this country, will draw $7,000 a year. Mr. Wright, Colored Republican Committeeman of Chicago's famous Second Ward, has been made a member of the Illinois Commerce Commission by Gov. Len Small. Other High Salaries That Mr. Wright is doubtless the highest salaried Negro serving in a governmental appointing capacity, can be verified by the following comparisons: Perry Howard, United States attorney general, receives $5,000; Phil H. Brown, commissioner of conciliation in the department of labor, $5,000; Albert Froe, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, $4,000; Major Adam E. Patterson, assistant corporation counsel for the city of Chicago, $3,500, and James White, recently appointed to the state athletic commission in Pennsylvania, $5,000. DR. W. C. HACKETT NOW IN NEW OFFICE 35 E. WASHINGTON Dr. W. C. Hackett, physician and surgeon, has had great success, his practice increasing to the extent that it was necessary to make better preparation for service. To this end his office has moved to 35 East Washington street, one of the most modern and best equipped offices in the city, where he will be glad to welcome former patients and friends. Dr. Hackett is the first colored physician to secure license to practice in the state of Arizona. Since coming to Phoenix only a few years ago, he has built up a large practice among his own people and the Spanish speaking people of this section. His most notable achievement is the Booker T. Washington Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium Annex at 1342 East Jefferson street. This hospital, erected at a cost of several thousand dollars, stands today as a monument to the worth of Dr. Hackett, whose great vision, dauntless courage and strong determination, made this institution a reality.

When Hannibal, the indomitable swart-skinned king of Carthage brought his army across the mighty Alps, he pointed to the valley of the Po and exclaimed: "Beyond you lies Rome. Take it!" With a courage as great and a heart as fearless, one today may point the eyes of the Negro to an unlimited field of opportunity and cry: "Beyond you lies success. Take it!" Success is not within the power of another man or race to give, it is within ourselves. Twelve millions of us in one country! Think of it! Twelve millions! Great God, what a potential power! What endless wealth! What limitless chance for achievement! Twelve millions who are searching for the light and with all so blind that they grope in darkness seeking the way out! Beyond you lies success. Take it! Be something. Hope for something. Stop being beggars outside the closed gates. The path of ages is littered with memories of nations that achieved with less than twelve millions. Think of the Jew in this country with less than four millions. He is hated, despised and discriminated against, yet he strives on. Let us strive too. Beyond you lies Rome. Take it. If you fail it will be because you are not worthy to win. But you will not fail. None can fail who truly try. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON If the day looks kinder gloomy And your chances kinder slim, And the situation's puzzlin' And the prospect awful grim, And perplexities keep pressin' Till all hope is nearly gone— Just bristle up and grit your teeth, And keep on keepin' on. Fumin' never wins a fight And frettin' never pays; There ain't no good in broodin' in Those pessimistic ways; Smile just kinder cheerfully When hope is nearly gone, And bristle up and grit your teeth And keep on keepin' on. There ain't no use in growlin' And grumblin' all the time When music's ringin' everywhere And everything's in rhyme; Just keep on smilin' cheerfully If hope is nearly gone, And bristle up and grit your teeth And keep on keepin' on. —J. D. Carr, Asheville, N. C. PROMISE YOURSELF To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel there is something in them. To look on the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and to have a smile ready for every living creature you meet. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too rong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of double. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world—not in loud words but in great deeds. To live in the faith that the world is on your side as long as you are true to the best that is in you. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING RICHEST BLACK WOMAN IN THE WORLD IS WED IN POMP AND SPLENDOR Week Day Sermonette BY H. T. S. JOHNSON, Interrracial Secretary for Oklahoma WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A CHRISTIAN "And it was in Antioch that the disciples first received the name of Christians." Acts 11:26. The disciples of Christ did not name themselves. Like the Methodists, they were named by others. The people who first called them Christians were heathen. Whether or not the name was given in derision, we are not informed, but we do know they would not have been called Christians had they not talked much of Christ, believed firmly in His teachings and lived according to what they believed. Therefore, it is safe to say that to make a Christian, one must have a creed, an experience and a life. I. A Christian is a person with a creed. A person who has accepted the teaching that Jesus of Nazareth was also the Christ of God. That in His life He showed men how to live above the world; in His death was revealed the love of God as it cannot be found any where else; in His resurrection we have proof unfailing of His divinity and the assurance that "As thru Adam all die, so also, through Christ all will be made alive again." There are those who say it matters nothing what you believe so long as you live right. But, how can this be? Who ever drank pure water from an impure spring, gathered grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? The fact is, the church must have a doctrinal fence around it and not be left on the open prairie with nothing to ward off the winds of religious fanaticism and myriad fads of doctrine. In 1833, when the "stars fell," a man was aroused from his bed by the alarm. He rushed out and saw many stars falling, sure enough. But, gazing beyond these he saw the old constellations in their accustomed places. He thereupon went back to his bed satisfied. Christian Science, Spiritualism, Russellism, Theosophy and what not, may denounce all creedal belief; but, when these vagaries and fads have ceased to be, the churches that are grounded in the old familiar faiths—the institutions that have conceived, developed and put over every movement and reform for the benefit of mankind—will continue to function to the glory of God. Their beneficence will continue because of what they believe. A formal statement of what we as Christians believe is our creed. A Christian, therefore, is a person with a creed. II. A Christian is a person with an experience. The things learned, the prayers answered, the doubts removed, the opportunities improved—these things constitute one's experience. In other words, creed is the ladder by which we climb to God. Expeirence is what we learn by climbing. Those who contend that a Christian's whole equipment is creed, leave off that which makes the creed necessary. The best possible creed cannot contribute to spiritual welfare unless reduced to experience. Faith energized gives experience, without which one can never know the value of faith. III. A Christian is a person with a life—our religion must be lived. One truth lived is worth more than a thousand believed and not lived. Religion centered in the heart will radiate through and control the whole life. 1. It will control the tongue. None but God knows the evil that is done by this little but unruly member. Character is besmirched, social, political and business standing ruined; lives sacrificed, because men refuse to live their religion. Much of the race friction in this country would not be if members of both sides would let their religion show in controlled tongues. There would be nothing said in public nor private that would engender bad feeling and incite to riot and blood-shed. Neither would white men give voice to argument calculated to show that Negroes should not have every citizenship advantage claimed by themselves, educationally, economically, industrially, politically and otherwise. 2. It will control the hands. Religion, radiating through the hands, will not allow one to take that which does not belong to him. Violent hands will not be laid on anyone, save in self defense. Religion, controlling the hands, will make them ready to aid in every possible way those who stand in need. Religious hands do whatever they find to do wherever occasion gives the opportunity. 3. It will control the feet. Quick to answer duty's call are the feet of a Christian. How could they do else when Jesus' feet took Him wherever there were human suffering and need? If we let our religion radiate thru our feet, we shall be found only where opportunity is afforded to help a brother, regardless of his nationality or race. Note please, the Christian is like unto a fruit tree. Creed is the root, experience the flower, and life the fruit. He who has creed and experience, is as the tree in bloom. He who has creed, experience and life, is as the tree bearing luscious fruit. Because so many of us have creed and experience only, our lives are not fruitful. As a result, the church is losing sway and Christianity has been brought into disrepute. May we, ministers and members of the Christian church, regardless of name, get in such relations to our Master that our creed, experience and life may give us right to the most exalted title and station possible to human existence—that of a Christian. JUST WRIGHT SHOES For Men PHOENIX SILK HOSE NELSON SHOE CO. COME IN TODAY Phoenix, Arizona IRVINGTON-ON-HUDSON, N. Y.—Miss Mae Walker Robinson, granddaughter of Mme Walker, who started life as a laudress and left a $1,000,000 estate after inventing a remarkable hair treatment, was married to Dr. Henry Gordon Jackson of Chicago. Eighteen hundred guests filled every available space in the large St. Phillip's Episcopal church, and as many more whose carriages and limousines extended for two blocks in every direction were disappointed at being unable to enter the church. Gorgeous decorations, rich gowns and jewels, such as seldom have been seen, made the interior of the edifice a striking setting for the ceremony as the first notes of Lohengrin's wedding march swelled from the organ. Standing at the altar, in formal morning attire, Dr. Jackson saw his bride sweep down the aisle on the arm of F. B. Ransom, manager of the Mme. Walker Manufacturing company, which produces the famous hair restorer. The bride's dress drew gasps of admiration. It was of sheer chiffon, beaded with sea pearls over bride's satin. A tulle veil was attached to a Tutankhamen headdress of pearls and was caught with orange blossoms. The bride's mother wore a gown of gold metal cloth, designed and made in Paris. After the ceremony, specially invited guests accompanied the couple to the magnificent country estate of the bride's mother, Villa Lawaro, purchased by the original Mme. Walker for $350,000. To the reception that followed 9,000 guests had been invited. BANK NOTE TIPS Prominent persons from every state in the Union, from Liberia, Nigeria and Cuba were present or sent regrets. Many magnificent presents were displayed. Bank note tips were given to the police. The bride's mother gave the couple a specially made mahogany case containing 126 pieces of solid silver from Tiffany's. After the reception the bride and groom slipped away in a new Rolls-Royce limousine, one of the wedding presents, and caught a train for Boston, where the honeymoon will be spent.

BAKING CO. --- SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1923 SOUTHERN BLACK MAN EATS RAZOR BLADES LIKE SODA CRACKERS proclamation setting aside a certain Sunday for the citizens to pray the boll weevil away, comes the story of a Negro, approaching 50 years of age, who eats razors. There is no trick or necromancy to it, the man eats the steel blades and enjoys them. One of the leading doctors of Columbia, Dr. C. W. Barron, has made an X-ray of the Negro's digestive system and the plate revealed bits of steel scattered all along his intestinal tract. SPARTANSBURG, S.

Van Buren St. Arizona THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Excites Comment The Negro's peculiar appetite has been the subject of comment for some times. A newspaper man, inclined to doubt the tales, made an investigation. The Negro was found, answered all questions with polite replies and admitted that he did eat razors, liked the taste of them and had feasted on them for years. He was found at work on a boiler. He grinned a grin that displayed his strong, white teeth when told what information was wanted, and told his story in words strongly flavored with French expressions and French accent. He is from the Barbadoes. His name is Smith Thomas. Three Blades Are Eaten The newspaper man still was skeptical. He left Thomas at his work and purchased a package of safety razor blades. He returned to the scene of the Negro's labors and without a word handed them to the black, who quietly tore the wrapper from the package and ate three of the blades, one at a time. The thin steel crackled in his mouth with a sound not unlike freshly parched peanuts, and in a few seconds Thomas asked for another blade. Like Soda Crackers Several barbers of Columbia have offered straight-edge razors to this human steel mill, and they now present for inspection old blades, with big gaps chewed out of the edges. He bites into steel blades as an ordinary man might munch a soda cracker. Thomas does not confine himself to steel; he also eats glass. Further, the newspaper man watched him run a long pin through his arm without flinching. He declares that doctors examined him and report that there is no circulation in his arm. He was in the British army during the war and for a short period in his majesty's navy. He says that he was wounded several times, but he did not bleed at all. Weird Tricks As a Boy Thomas recalls that he ate his first razors when he was a boy of eight. He is now near 50, although somewhat younger looking in appearance. He declares that in his younger days he used to lick red hot iron, dance on glass and sharp swords, eat tacks and do many other parlor tricks of similar nature. While talking to the newspaper man he swallowed a lighted cigarette which he was smoking to prove that he can stand such pain provoking acts without flinching. He appears not to feel pain at all. When he chewed the razor blades, not one drop of blood appeared from any wounds that might have been inflicted within his mouth. Negro acquaintances of Thomas repeat stories that seem more impossible than the razor eating act. They tell of him drinking a pint of embalming fluid just before going on an eight-hour shift of stoking the furnace WASHINGTON, D. C.-The "Brethren," that is, that particular portion of them who thrive on politics and its bi-products, are all excited. Their perturbation is not visible perhaps to the casual observer, because mostly they are wearing "poker" faces, but nevertheless there is an air among the knowing of carrying weighty secrets and the confidential rumors which are wafting down Pennsylvania Ave., past the race legislative headquarters up U St. around the University and back by way of the White-law portend that something big is about to break. Little is being said audibly, because most of the itinerant group of Washingtonians, who proudly give as their voting addresses various states from which cabinet members hail, are busy trying to build up fences and advertise their availability for the plums which are expected to fall. Your correspondent can state on the best of authority, his information having come from an impeccable source, close to a leading member of the powers which be, that the administration is getting ready to function. It is sand by this informant, who has the entree to a cabinet office that President Collidge, at a recent cabinet meeting, discussed the Negro question as it related to the political side of things, and requested each of the members to appoint to an outstanding position in his department a Colored man. It is said that the wheels have begun to turn and that definite results are to be expected before the first of the year. At any rate, the rumor is traveling the rounds, and more than one statesman's heart which beats proudly and patriotically beneath a messenger's jacket, is being stirred and intrigued with the possibilities of the situation. It is said that two departments are almost ready to announce their selections. The Farm Loan Bureau is mentioned as one place and a former Illinoisian, who has labored in the census bureau, is expected to land. The post office department, which has paid stellar honor to New York in the appointment of a sub-station superintendent and a clerk in charge, is said to be contemplating a similar in the neighborhood of Chicago. "It is necessary to do this," said an observer here, "because outstanding political figures in Chicago refuse to accept Washington honors due to the fact that their local jobs exceed in salary, power and prestige anything which the capital offers. Salary boosts are also part of the program. Special Asst. Atty. General Perry Howard received a substantial boost. John D. Gainey, Asst. Chief Clerk, is another who, though he has had his job but a brief while, has made good in such satisfactory fashion, that his work has been extended from the Railway Mall Service to cover the entire Post Office Department. A boost in salary doubtlessly will follow. Colored politicians are agreed that the cabinet's decision as to the necessity of dealing more liberaly with the Colored voter was a wise one. Cabinet members are said to have been outspoken regarding discontent and dissatisfaction apparent throughout the centers, which have large Negro populations in the North. Likewise it was decreed, it is said, that the Tuskegee Hospital should have entire black control. And in the meantime the brethren are all "het up." Each is wondering how a cabinet member can overlook him. BRING COURT ACTION TO OUST PRINCIPAL OF COLORED SCHOOL BOWLING GREEN, Ky.—Suit was filed in Warren County Circuit Court Tuesday morning by Attorneys Rodes and Harlin, representing Clarence M. Ray, W. S. Yarborough, Wm. Wolfe, John T. Porter, John Brown, O. D. Porter, William Nelson, and E. I. Smith, all Negroes against the City Board of Education, seeking the removal of E. E. Reid, president of the Kentucky Negro Educational Association and principal of the Colored public schools of the city. The petition charges Reid has been guilty of grossly immoral conduct and drunkenness, and that notwithstanding affidavits have been filed with the board showing these facts, it continues Reid in the position of principal, acting arbitrarily and unreasonably to the hurt and detriment of the women and children attending the Colored schools in the city. for the telephone exchange. It did not faze him. Wood alcohol, it seems, is as so much water to him. Thomas had eaten about 15 razor blades when Dr. Barron took the first X-rays. Dr. Barron will make further investigation of the strange case.

Codori, Auctioneer 106 N. First Ave., Phoenix NEWTON, N. J.—Suit was started in the New Jersey Supreme Court by Orison H. Thorp, of Newton N. J., against Dr. Blase Cole, a Newton physician, charging alienation of the affections of Mrs. Lillian R. Thorp. Damages of $75,000 are asked. Mrs. Thorp is now an inmate of the Trenton State Hospital, where she went soon after the trouble between her husband and Dr. Cole last year. Dr. Cole denies the charges made by Thorp and asserts the situation in which he is placed is one in which any doctor is liable to find himself any day. William A. Dolan, his counsel, calls the case an attempt at blackmail. On October 23 of last year, Thorp swore out a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Cole. Before a hearing could be held before Recorder James Mills. of Newton, Thorp withdrew the charge "with the intention of starting new proceedings," as he expressed it. The case is creating much interest throughout Sussex County.

J.—The arrest of Dr. and Mrs. Edward B. Terry at Charlottesville, Va., August 18, 1922, had a rather pleasantecho in this city today when the physician and his wife received checks for good solid coin of the realm, paid to them by the powerful Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company. Enroute from Hinton, W. Va., to this city via Washington, D. C., on a through train of the C. & O. Ry. Co., Dr. and Mrs. Terry rode in such comfort as a day coach afforded (they had been unable to procure Pullman accommodations) until they reached Charlottsville. Here the conductor ordered them to vacate their seats and go into a "Jim Crow car" ahead. Dr. Terry refused to move on the ground that he was an interstate passenger. The conductor insisted that the Terry's move because he said the car in which they were riding was reserved for white people leaving Charlottesville. The doctor was obdurate and refused to move. Thereupon a special officer of the C. & O. Ry. Co. boarded the train, arrested Dr. and Mrs. Terry and arraigned them in the police court for violating the "Jim Crow" law of Virginia. Terry Defends His Stand Before the police justice Dr. Terry so vehemently defended his claim to exemption from the local "Jim Crow" statute that the court allowed him to deposit nominal bail for himself and his wife, and leave the city, but with understanding that he would engage counsel and lay before the court judicial authority in support of his contention. Subsequently, however, the Court rejected the authorities submitted by counsel for the Terrys and decided the case against them. In view of the above decision, Attorney James C. Waters, Jr., of Washington, D. C., who represented the Terrys, served notice of appeal to the District of Columbia, where he felt his client would have a better show. R. R. Shows Fight At first the railroad stated that it would fight the case, contending that the Jim Crow law would hold in this case, but this did not stop Attorney Waters. He immediately set to work on the case and had everything ready to "get to the bat" when word was received that the railroad company was ready to settle. After a consultation with his client, a stipulated amount was agreed upon, and when the matter was put up to the company's attorneys, they decided to "kick in," as they realized that the company had no defense in this case. The winning of this suit is regarded as very significant, as it bears out the contention that the inter-state passengers are not subject to Jim Crow laws of the South.

Breakfast Sets Wool Blankets Tea Wagon Console Tables Writing Desks Phoenix, Arizona DONOFRIO FLORAL COMPANY FLOWERS AND PLANTS OF ALL KINDS FOR CHRISTMAS Members Florist Telegraph Delivery Association WHITE CRIME WAVE PUZZLES OFFICERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA GREENWOOD, S. C.—White officials of this section affect surprise and disgust to learn that white prohibition law violators are on the increase with Negroes contributing only slightly to this phase of crime. At a recent convening of the county court, 40 of the 44 cases involving liquor charges, were against white offenders. This is in spite of the fact that the proportion of Negro and white inhabitants are about the same. Another fact noted is the general decrease in Negro crime, even under the watchful surveillance of white law officers. It is stated that at one time the criminal court was regarded as being the peculiar obsession of the Negro, with the court of common pleas as the refuge of the white man. The whites are now gobbling up both in their inordinate plunge into unclassified crime. The law still works oddly, however, in its application, as to color. At a recent session of the court a white man was freed of the charge of stabbing a Negro fireman, and a Negro mother was given thirty days for having a pint of moonshine. The chain gangs are becoming full of white liquor violators. CLAIMS PHYSICIAN SEWED SURGICAL SCISSORS IN WOUND CLAIMS PHYSICIAN SEWED SURGICAL SCISSORS IN WOUND SYRACUSE, N. Y.—Trial of a $20,000 negligence action brought by Mrs. Lenora Smith of Savannah, Wayne County, against Dr. Harry E. Burdick of this city, started before Justice Martin in Supreme Court here. Mrs. Smith charges Dr. Burdick sewed up the incision made during the operation, leaving a pair of surgical scissors in the wound. Her husband, William, a farmer, also has brought action for $10,000. The couple allege the scissors were found sewed up in Mrs. Smith at a second operation, made necessary, they say, through the surgeon's neglect. The first operation was performed at the Hospital of the Good Shepherd, according to the account given. Mrs. Smith's health failed to improve, however, and, after a lapse of many months, she consulted another Syracuse physician who is not named. He advised a second operation, and it was then discovered that the surgical scissors had been sewn in the wound during the first operation, the complaint alleges. They were remov- 50 GOOD CIGARETTES 10¢ GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM TOBACCO ed and Mrs. Smith partly regained her affected by the presence of the scs health. Her heart was permanently sors, she declares.
