Administration Playing air With Capt. Marshall?
1450, Ill., June 21.—One of our questions going on the grassroots邮政 office, whether the Negro McCormick, of Illinois, and the colored people falsely captured. Napoleon B. of New York City, in Baltimore, said that the Negroes of Baltimore satisfied with Senator McCormick and "The Tariff"; here is rapidly developing a new Senate. Senator McCormick of his programs is not to be found in Chicago; if current rations be believed, one more knowledge that Senator McCormick only expressing his perceptions in what he is doing in his conduct has the Wash. House, for example, it is believed in matters that Senator McCormick the Negroes of the councils and them believe that he is a very dignified and imposition. It turns out now Kearl is listed at Washington library clerk and his imprint Hitt does not rise above a clerk. This is the report

It now remains for the administration to show its hand on the question of whether Capt. Marshall was appointed by the administration to a position of dignity or whether he was appointed by the administration to installations which were gained from the remarks of Semtor McCormick at the Chicago dinner.
Not, only has it, it turned out that Marshall is nothing but a clerk in white American officers and is not permitted to enjoy the social distinctions which usually accompany an official, and was supposed to receive. The coloured people of Haiti have left it leak out that Marshall is being treated like an ordinary employee and that he is the office of the wishes to the contrary.
Capt. Marshall was, wounded in the World War. He is a. Harvard graduate and gave up his law practice, sacrifices to go to Haiti in the earnest belief that he could be of some real assistance to his people in the Islands. If his treatment by white Americans in the islands would ought to resign at once and set sail for his home town and tell the people of this country what a flagrant insult has been heaped upon him and what a huge piece of trickery practiced by the enemy upon the Negroes of the United States.
This one incident, if it proves to be true, will go a long way towards shaping the conduct of black Republicans in the South. The compromise is a thing of the past. Negroes are either worthy of reward for standing by the Republican. Party or they ought to abandon parianism parties and remain a few months the drift of the tide will be more, definite, it is said.

The officer's arrest was concerned, closed Thursday evening by Hill's death at Garfield Hospital.

(Special to the Pgh. Courier)
INSTITUTE, W. Va., June 21
The legislature of West Virginia this week passed a budget bill which carried an appropriation of more than a half million dollars for the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, the leading educational institution at the state for college youth. The amount of the appropriation for the school is $900. This fund represents the largest single appropriation ever made in West Virginia for Negro education and is probably a larger than than purpose by any state in the union. It represents a new epoch in West Virginia for the citizens of color and serves to broaden and increase the mutual understanding between years between the races in the mountain state.
The highest state officials as well
the humblest citizens of West
Virginia take unusual pride in the
Collegiate Institute. He does the
job better than the good standard in every way. John W.
Davis, the president, and the able
faculty of the Institution get the
support and encouragement of all
of the thinking people in the State,
Education and
Board of Control, as well as the
executive Department of the State,
maintain a close and vital interest
in the work. Define co-operation
from the members of these bodies
and fraternize with them to make the Collegiate Institute a real State College.
The appropriation is itemized as
follows:
Salaries for teachers and
fees:
Custodian General Expense..... 75,000
Repairs and Improvements..... 50,000
Buildings and Land..... 25,000
The $250,000 under Buildings and Land will be added to, $125,000 left to the credit of the Institution from the 1921 Legislature. This will be furnished for the building. Plans and specifications for the building are ready. Work will be started within a few weeks. The building now used for an administration building is a dormitory for men and boys. Only the most modern equipment will be put into the biological, chemical, physical, and psychological laboratories of the new administration with the policy of making the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, meet only the highest standards.

JURY OUT 10 HOURS CONVICTS HEAD OF U.N.I.A. FOR FRAUD
NEW YORK; N. Y., June 21.—The colorful career of Marcua M. Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Company, and one of the most picturesque and unique characters to have ever insured the public spotlight, came to a dramatic, semi-circular here on Monday night, when a jury in the United States District Court found him guilty of using the radios to defraud in connection with the sale of insurance to the Universal Negro Improvement Company.
Crowds Threw Court
When the jury filled out of Judge
Mary McCarthy's day, all Harlan turned towards the
courtroom, where for more than a month the public had listened to the colorful history of the Black Star Line and to the eloquent pleas of the courtroom. The court acted as his own attorney and defended his own case, after "firing" his legal talent and closed his defense with an eloquent plea, that "justice" and not sympathy "would save" his services through the corridors of the Federal building until they were sent outside by numerically imposing detectives, the spectators wandered amply up and down the court and overflowed into City Hall park.
Guard Grand Jury
Guard Grand Jury
Although he was accused no more trouble, Marcel Hecht, remembering the numerous threats against members of the jury and the presiding judge, and witnesses, took a hard grip on any hard which might befall the jury on his trip to lunch and supper. There was nearly as many detectives as there were jurymen on the two men who were the policemen who surrounded the building to limit egress and ingress to those who had business within.
During the day Garvey sat quite quietly, but some of the attorneys. He was dressed in his best, his monocle and monocle holder neatly shined up for the occasion. Once, after he and the frightened man, Marcus relaxed into a peaceful doze.
Has Hard-Time Stifling Yawns
He showed no perturbation during the day, yet, despite his fearlesship, he tried to be looking his way, he tried to stifle elaborate yawns, but usually failed.
The persistent few who remained in the court room during the long hours in which the jury—using the defendants' law, tempting to determine yes or no—were the defendants, their lawyers, their wives, and the lawyers' wives. They read the newspapers and munched sandwiches.
Judge Misk, devoted the entire morning session instruction the jury, "I will give you a careful exposition of the law governing the credibility of witnesses—the credibility of the witnesses in the Garvey trial had been cheerfully denied by both sides—and a presumption of innocence of the defendant. I will determine this question of credibility.
"Garvey had the right to conduct his own case as would any defendant," said the judge. "It prolonged the trial, but I believe it was not from intent to injure the defendant. In the course of law, hope you will take this into consideration."

Tuskegee Wizard Asks U.S. Patents For Discoveries
Days That Milk Made From Peanuts and Paint Made From Clay Are Practicable—Denies That Cost Is Prohibitive.
(Courier Afro, News Service.) TUSKEGEE, Ala., June 21—Plans to manufacture on a large scale and put on the market some of his remarkable discoveries, were announced by Professor George W. Carver here last week.
Professor Carver, who was recently made a fellow member of the Royal Society of Great Britain, is known all over America as the man who has developed 165 different products from the peanut, including milk, cheese, chocolate, wood-stain, fennel powder, axle grease and ink.
He has also developed 117 products from the sweet potato, including ginger, taplocs, flour, 73 kinds of dyes for silk and cloth, breakfast food and synthetic rubber, all from the sweet potato; and an imposing array of cold water paints and stains from Georgia clay.
Answers Criticism
Asked if he would explain the criticism that his discoveries are not practical, that his paints won't paint, and his stains won't stain, would he continue to muse develop the synthetic rubber, Professor Carver said:
"I understand that there are a few people, who are sore because they came or sent others to get my formula without money and because I would not accede to their wishes, they are trying to discredit my work. But they cannot do it any harm.
"Ask Scott Allen, of the L. W. Rogers Company, ex-Governor Dorsey, Mr. T. J. Wootter, office of the W. W. Thomson, 217 Henry Building, Mr. J. Billups, General Building Agent of the A. W. P. Georgia, and W. A. Railroads, also William C. A. Wickersham, president of the above railroads.
"The above men are putting this money into it. I have a letter before me; now that came today saying the company hopes to incorporate soon. "These gentlemen and a host of others I could mention believe sufficiently and another man to Washington, D.C., to look into the patent rights. It has already cost $1,500 and whatever is necessary to secure the patients will be forthcoming.
"Sixteen specifications are new before the patent attorney. He has made available that same already on this day, available that same people they won't paint or paint.
"You know the patent office does not accept things that won't work, the model, no difference how crude, must work.
Rubber Not Released
"The synthetic rubber has not as yet been released and I do not know when it will be."

Painting Of Race Artist Shown Here
Henry O. Tanner's Famous "Christ Learning to Read" Exhibited at International Exhibition of Paintings,
Those who did not visit the Carnegie Art Galleries during the International Exhibition of Paintings, probably have no idea of just what they missed. Among the many beautiful canvases by artists of the United States hung one by the Colored artist, Henry O. Tanner. His picture, "Christ Learning to Read," was given high praise by the lady who connected the Gallery Guidance group last Friday night. I did not agree with her, however, when she said that a first glance one might think it the picture of any ordinary mother and child in an intimate attitude. Viewing the picture for the first time from the far end of the gallery, under that there was something of interest about it; that if seemed ethereal radiating—a wonderful light. Later this was explained by the fact that the artist had so painted the picture that the side upon which Christ stood appeared illuminated. Taken as a whole, the beauty of the picture is so great that it fairly grips one by the throat.

Captain Salisbury, Back From Far East, Says Darker Races Are Coming to Front.
NEW YORK; June 21.—The white man's days in the East are numbered; fifty years will see Sumatra, India, and the Philippines all under native rule," is the prediction made by Captain Edward A. Salisbury, who arrived yesterday aboard the "Conte Rosso," completing a tour of the world made in the inestate southwest Museum of California. "The Conte Rosso variation among white colonists in the East, whether they be Dutch, English, French, or German," he said, "is how long can it last?"
Captain Salisbury's addition to the long list of white explorers, travelers and observers who have brought this same message back to America, gives added significance to the world over that white rule is now being end, on account of the high reputation which Captain Salisbury bears as a close and truthful observer of world events and movements.

Millionaires Springing Up As Oil Wells Gush
Boley, Oklahoma Transformed by Army of Prospectors as Oil Is Struck. Called Black Metropolis. BOLEY, Okla., June 21—Oil prospectors are rushing into this city and section by the hundreds.
Over night the black metropolis of America has become a seething bee-hive of humanity and, if the oncoming hordes continue within a few weeks, Boley will have doubled its population. The cause of the excitement develops out of the spouting of the big oil well brought in on a quarter section owned by Rev. Robert Kirksey, located about four miles northwest of this city, last Friday night.
Big Gusher
The new well is a big gusher, showing much more promise than the recent well brought in at Castle on McKernan quarter. Another well is being driven through the sand on the Sam Callahan farm, just one mile north of Boley, and the indications are that another big gusher will add to the already excited town in a few days.
Thousands of Acres
Thousands of acres of the land in this section and Okkuske, are in the hands and control of black folk. From Sand Creek back to Rusk, all of the land is owned by Negross and it is said that this new field will develop more million acres than any other section has developed among our group. The new strike is said to be an extension of the field located two years ago at Clearview.

Black Millionaires
Oklahoma has smiled kindly upon many black folk who own her soil. In the past she has beheld forth millions in liquid gold into the hands of hundreds of black men and women. Especially in Eastern Oklahoma. Luther Manuel, Sara Rector, Queen Victoria Jackson and an unending stream of others have lived to see barren hills and rocky crags transformed over night into "Castles in Spain." Boley's citizens are dreaming just such dreams tonight as many of Oklahoma's black folk have lived to realize.

Inventor Says
NEWARK, N. J., Jone 21.—
Driven to desperation by the
discordant noises made by a jazz
-band in a dance hall adjacent
to his estate, Hudson. ‘Maxim, -
the noted inventor, has made
an appeal to the courts to put
* an end to the nuisance. “It is
no use for white bands to try
to play jazz; they don’t know -
how, It takesa band of Negroes
to get any music out: of jazz,
These white bands make’ me

Negro is not our equal ‘and yet
we are all the time trying ‘to

when asked to let up in his ac-

duces by white musicians.

FOUR
Found Guilty of "Grave-
Robbing" and Sentenced
to 10 Years in Prison,
Decision of High Court
May Result in Acquittal.
ATLANTA, Ga., June 2L—Sami
Ware, undertaker, who was recen-
tively convicted in the Fulton courts on
a charge of grave robbing, and sentenced to 10 years in the state
prison, was granted a new trial by
the Georgia Court of Appeals on
Friday and, at the same time, it
was indicted that under the Georgia
law, Ware has committed no crimi-
nal offense.
In reversing the decision of the lower court, which overruled the motion for a new trial, the Court of Appeals points out that the indictment charged that the body in question, was "removed from its grave and place of interment." The court points out that the evidence very clearly shows that this was not done. Instead, the testimony showed, without rebuttal, that the body was not removed from the grave, but that the lid of the plain wooden box, which held the casket and body, was lifted, the body lifted up in the box, the casket slipped out from under it, and the body laid back in the box. The lid was then replaced and the dirt shovelled back in the grave.
The court points out that the lifting of the body is not covered by the statutes, which makes "removal" of a body a criminal offense. It concludes the decision by stating that the act as performed by Ware, according to the uncontroverted testimony at the trial, is not criminal under the present law, but brands it as ghoulish and horrible, and argues the lawmakers of the state to remedy the defect.

85% OF MIGRANTS ARE STICKING TO JOBS UP NORTH, REPORT SAYS
General Survey Discloses Fact That Southerners Are Quickly Adapting Themselves to New Conditions.
CHICAGO, III, June 21—(By A. N. P.)—"Industrial needs in the North are holding forth to the Negro an opportunity second in importance only to that of emancipation." "The chance is here for the Colored mechanic and laborer to obtain firm foothold in the industrial life and if they prove their ability to take advantage of the possibilities, they are certain to become a permanent part of the economic structure of this section." "The Negro faces the prospect of doubling his potential earning power when his advent into Northern manufacturing fields, with its more favorable compensation, is considered, together with the stimulated demand and consequently higher wages which will be created in the South by the scarcity of labor." The foregoing opinions were gathered from men identified with some of the best corporations in the district by a survey of A. N. P. who has been making a survey of the industrial situation in Chicago and vicinity with a view to observing how the migrants were fitting into their new environment from the standpoint of the employer, upon whose opinion it is apparent the final success of the newcomer in the North depends.
Superintendents of various plants expressed a willingness to be interviewed and talked freely of production wanted, type of labor, needed, the "percentage of turnover" and their experiences in handling Negro labor. Some were pleased with results, others were dubious, while a few were discouraged and disgusted. The most greatest need was careful selection and classification of the laborers who were presented. One of the surprises uncovered was the discovery that a Colored firm, Parker & Parker, 309 E. 39th street, whose activities have been little known, have handled the bulk of labor from the South which has filtered into the steel, brick and related industries. The greatest need was the classification of applications even to physical and medical examination which have won for them wide approbation and support from the large firms which they serve here

OPPORTUNITY IS CALLING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE PROPOSITION OF THE G. M. JOHNSON MANUFACTURING CO. OF JEANNETTE, PA.
History of the Development of the G.M. Johnson Manufacturing Company
The Company was chartered in the State of Delaware under date of January 19, 1917, with an authorized capital of $250,000.00—divided into 25,000 shares of common stock, of equal par value, $10.00 per share.
The Company owns a chain of patents, consisting of eleven broad and basic patents issued by the United States Patent Office.
The Company, since its incorporation, has sold its common stock by personal representation of the officers of the Company who have to date disposed of the present outstanding stock, amounting to $101,930.00.
During the year 1918, a plant was purchased in the town of Jeannette, Pa., which was used as a warehouse until the year 1920, at which time the demand for our equipment has reached such a stage that we were compelled to equip this building with machinery, which we have been operating ever since. Our equipment is constantly increasing and from present orders on hand and the outlook for the balance of this year, this will be the banner year for our business in its history and career.
As our present facilities are inadequate to meet this increasing demand for our products, we have therefore purchased a new site on which we intend to build a factory large enough to take care of our present and future requirements. This new factory will be equipped with the latest and most improved facilities for manufacturing our line of products.
With this new plant and the modern facilities for producing our products, we will be enabled to manufacture our complete line of equipment at a saving of from 10 to 15 per cent of the cost that is at present consumed in manufacturing.
For the purpose of providing the additional facilities and working capital, we have concluded to sell the remaining treasury stock which we have now remaining at $10.00 per share par value, subject to prior sale and advance in price without notice.
THE OFFICERS OF THIS COMPANY WILL BE GLAD TO GIVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION DESIRED WITH REGARDS TO THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY. If you desire the same, just fill out this coupon and mail it to us at once.
and throughout Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the Northwest. So firmly have they established themselves that railroads have been issuing tickets in the South on their order, billing them for the cost, which the workers paid on receiving the transportation or after arriving here.
Several superintendents refer to the service this organization was performing, saying if they could get constantly men of the type which had been selected because of their particular fitness and qualifications for the work to be done, the problem would be solved. One large employer called attention to a group of 100 selected men whom he had obtained through this source and making timekeeper's report on his work. He said it was 87 per cent. had made full time for the past 15 days and that investigation showed some of the delinquents actually on the sick list. "Some men make good, steel workers, others make good moulders, while others are fit for neither," he said. "It is the hiring, training and defection of the worker who won't come to work on time, who lays off every few days, who physically unfit, who never returns to the milling area that has driven some of the employment managers frantic," said this informant. Our doors are wide open for thrifty, steady, dependable men, with promotion and pay in proportion as they prove themselves fit. Some idea of the continuance of migration' may be gathered from the fact that 26 carloads of Colored people came into Chicago last Sunday and were central. A mass of valuable information been uncovered which will be given in a series of articles on various phases of employment in specific industries.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 21—The senior class of the Penngrove (New Jersey) High School refused to be graduated because the principal had put as the speaker next to the valedictorian and the salutatorian, Douglas Shorts, a Colored boy, who got the distinction because of his scholarship. The class objected to having a Negro ahead of the whites, in the first place, and in addition to this, it is said that his essay was unduly exploiting the "down-trodden Negro." The principal stood for Shorts and the Board of Education refused to force him to withdraw, so the class struck.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 21.—(By A. N. P.)—Among the large number of Baptists sailing on the last of this month to attend the sessions of the World's Baptist Alliance may be mentioned Mrs. Sarah W. Layen. The Alliance meets this year in Sweden, in which country there are more Baptists than in any other country in the world. There are only a few Negroes who will be in attendance at the World's Baptist Alliance, and it is significant to note that Mrs. Layen has the proud distinction of being the only woman delegate who is going as the president of a national organization. Mrs. Layen is president of the National Baptist Convention, and is known throughout the country as a woman who stands for the onward march of Negro manhood and womanhood. Aside from her active work, Mrs. Layen is well-known because of her connection with the Association for the Protection of Colored Women.

Southern Favorite to Get Great Reception on Return to Home Town After More Than Year's Absence.
ATLANTA, Ga., June 21.—One of the fanciest boxing cards ever brought south is outlined for the auditorium ring on July 3rd, to augment the big bout between Tigers Flowers, conqueror of Panama Joe Gans, and Tut Jackson, the Washington courthouse light-heavy-weight. The Flowers-Jackson bout alone is expected to prove one of the greatest battles ever seen in Atlanta, as the reputation of both men puts them beyond any chance of beating a one-sided argument.
It has been announced by Walk Miller, manager of Fowers that Jackson has been guaranteed $4,000 with a privilege of 30 per cent for the bout. Prices will be $5.50 top for ring-side seats, and taper down through $3.30, $2.20 and $1.10 for other seats. It is planned to make the bout the biggest "money house" ever staged in Atlanta.
The following card has been outlined to go in addition to the main go, each being ten rounds; Freddie Boarde vs. Lew Silver, Tom O'Dowd vs. Claude Wilson, Cotton Nelson vs Jimmy Proto, Battling Budd vs Cresighton Rowe, and Kid Brown vs Britus Cameron.
Good Semi-Windup.
Boorde and Silver have long been under discussion for a bout, and if this one is made on the July 3rd card a semi-windup is assured that will prove as good as almost apy headliner that could be brought before the local fans. O'Dowd and Wilson are also main go attractions, while Cotton Nelson, the flashy Nashville youngster who made such a hit in his bout with Billy Atlantic last week, is also paired with Jimmy McIntosh, the hardy Birmingham battle, Camron and Birmingham, negro heavyweights, flowers meets Cameron in Nashville Wednesday night, and has the unique distinction of winning by a knockout over Willie Meehan.
Plans outlined indicate that the card will be the biggest thing in fist-bumps staged in the south in many a day. The fame of Flowers since outpointing the colored middleweight champ Panama Joe Gans, in inhore recently, has made him a much-bought battler, and the fact that he has not fought before an Atlanta audience in over a year will make devotees of the game anxious to see him in action.
Plans are being worked out for the show on an elaborate scale. Tutt Jackson has posted $500 through his manager, Billy Palmer, to make 175 pounds for the bout, which is about 49 pounds over the Flowers weight.

A.B.C.'s DropFirst Two Games Of Important Series To Am. Giants
Ninth Inning Rally in Sunday's Game Comes Too Late, But Gives Overflow Crowd Real Thrill—Saturday's Contest Develops Into Pitching Duel.
(By Natl. Sportwriters' Assn.)
CHICAGO, IL., June 17—The Indianapolis A. B. C.'s made a bid for today's game against the American Giants in the ninth, but fell short, the home club winning a six-to-five tilt and making it two straight over the Hoosiers. Cooper started against Wolfolk, Foster's recruit pitcher from Kentucky, but was yanked in the fourth in favor of Corbett, who breezed along in good style.
With the score six to one against them, Dismike's men staged a rally that caused all the fans to pull for them to win. G. Williams opened the ninth with a fluke hit, when his fly ball fell safe between Beckwith and DeMoss. Wolfok could have taken the out, but Beckwith yelled he had it. Dixon doubled, putting Williams on third. Newsome was sent to bat for Corbett and fanned. Shively walked, filling the sacks. Williams scored as Malarcher threw out Washington. Blackmon doubled scoring two. Charleston's rap was too hot for DeMoss and Blackmon scored. Day rapped one into the overflow down near the left field foul line that went foul by a foot. Day ended by flying out to Torrienti.

Saturday's Game
CHICAGO, Ill., June 16. — The American Giants took the opening game from the A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis today, which was the first of a league wherein the fight for first place in the Negro National League. The score at the end of the nine innings was one to nothing, in front of the Chicago club. It was one of the best played and fastest played games ever seen here, it taking just one hour and twenty-seven minutes to decide the contest, which was full of sparkling sensational plays on part of the visitors. G. Williams, Day, Blackmon and Charleston coming in for their share of the glory, Gardner's throw to the plate in the ninth after Holloway's fly kept Shively on third after the catch. It saved the day, as Shively had been given a life on Bobby Williams' error and had gone to second on a passed ball. Rile held the visitors to two hits, one by Holloway in the fourth and one by G. Williams in the ninth. Newsome pitched a good game for the losers, yielding five hits, one a double by Beckwitt, the only extra base hit of the day.
The Giants squeezed their lone tally across the plate in the second. Brown dumped a Texas leaguer in right and Beckwith followed with a single to center, putting Brown on third. Beck stole second. Lyons went out to Charleston unassisted and both runners held the bags. With Brown stealing home, Marjoracher tapped the ball to Charleston who was forced to make a great play to beat the runner to first base after he saw he couldn't get Brown at the plate.
Other than the ninth the A's never had a chance to score, except the fourth. Holloway got the first hit off Rile with a clean rap to left. He was forced at second by Charleston, who in turn died stealing second. Day fanned. The score:

Eggleston's Single Scores Jefferson for Run That Beats Richmond Giants.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 21.
The few who gathered at Bacharach Park saw a highly interesting overtime contest in which Ben Taylor's Washington Potomac's nosed out the Richmond Giants in the twelfth inning; score 5 to 4.
It was Eggleston's clout to center that brought home Jefferson for the deciding marker. Jefferson had previously doubled to left and reached third when Garfield bungled Woods' grounder. Ben Taylor was purposefully walked in order to take a chance on Eggleston, but the latter came through with the necessary blow. The run came after two men had been retired.
Babe Brown, a local boy, playing centerfield for the Richmond Giants, performed in brilliant fashion. He accepted six chances in centerfield, the majority of these, of the difficult variety. Score:

Hilldale Noses Out Lincolnites
Red Ryan Pitches His Outfit to a One-Run Triumph in Close Game.
DARBY, Pa., June 21.—The murderous bludgeons of Captain John Henry Lloyd and "Biz" Mackey coupled with the air-tight relief pitching of "Red" Ryan, gave Hilldale a hard fought 3-to-2 victory over the Lincoln Giants, at Hildale Park, Saturday afternoon in an Eastern Colored League game before a crowd estimated at 7,000. Lloyd scored two of the three runs for Hilldale, Mackey knocking both of them in, while the other was lugged in by Briggs, who scampered home from first base when Lloyd doubled.
After the Lincolnins had tied the score in the eighth, by virtue of Hudspeth's triple with two men on the bases, and with none out, Sorpt Lee tightened and prevented further scoring and after the first two men in the ninth had gotten on base, due to a walk and a single; Captain Lloyd yanked Lee and substituted Ryan, who was equal to the occasion, picking up Marcelle's bunt and getting Williams at third and making Singer hit into a fast double play. Warfield to Lloyd to Allen, their half of the ninth Hilldale scored, Captain Lloyd doubled and after Santon who batted for them, fled out to J. Thomas, Macas singled sharply between Marcelle and Perry into left field, and Lloyd lugged the winning run over the plate. Wilson made the feature play of the game when he speared a liner from the bat of George Johnson in the seventh, falling into the bleachers as he clutched the ball.

sets, Eyres Saitch Saturday won the second leg, in the Akron trophy which was competed for in the Ideal Tennis Club tournament just ended. Saitch proved beyond a doubt, that he is the master of all players in this section of the country. As the winner last year, he did not play through, playing only in the final or challenge round. E. Gomes, of the Akron T. C., runner-up, was the sensation of the tournament. Drawing a bye in the just round, Gomes got through the second round by default and from this round on, won by superior ability. Gomes has for the past three seasons been developing the Lawford stroke and is the only player in the Metropolitan district using this stroke. He has so far perfected his play that he was able to defeat every player he met, except Saitch.
The first player to fall a victim to this old, but by no means out-of-date stroke, was A. Worde, a youngster with great possibilities from the other side of the Hudson. Worde played a great game, the first set going to deuce and ending at 10-8. The second he lost at 6-0. In the fourth round R. D. Ponder, another budding champion, went down before the now confident games and at the end of the fray the score was 6-1; 6-3. It was expected that Gomes would meet his waterloo in the semi-final round when he met Geo. Smith, of the Ideal T. 'C., but all hands were disappointed, for after winning the first set 3-6 George's snots began to prove of little effect. Gomes kept up a storm of drives from one side of the court to the other and this so tired Smith that after this set which he lost, 6-4, Gomes had little trouble in winning the third set. 6-1.
While Gomes was battled every inch of his way, Chick Jones was having an easy time in the lower bracket, although losing two sets to McDowell and L. E. Spooner, respectively. Jones thus qualified to meet Gomes in the final round to decide who should be the opponent of Salch In the challenge round. The gladiators battled for four sets before a final decision was arrived at, as against Smith, Gomes lost the first set, but Jones seemed to have used up his usual reserve stock in taking this set, while Gomes was fresh at the end. With the result that his drives puzzled Jones, who used all of his tricks to no avail, amid a round of tumultuous applause, the new find of the season was returned winner, 3-6; 6-1; 8-6; 6-1.
Gomes' display made him popular with the entire assemblage and congratulations were showered on him from friends and foe alike, the defeated Jones being the first to congratulate his successful opponent.
Saturday afternoon saw the defeat of the week's hero by the "Kid Wonder," Eyres Saitch, who had watched Gomes every day since the tournament started and played his plan of battle long before he went on the court, thus proving that he can use his head as well as his feet and hands in the game.
Very noticeably absent were the old-timers, veterans of many cruisers—Ramsey, the Bain brothers and Foster Austin. Perhaps these are willing to hang up their togs in deference to the upward march of the youngsters' names above. In Saitch, Gomes, Jones and Smith, New York has a quartet of youngsters that should well represent her in future tournaments.

Exciting Finish of 100-yd. Dash at Interscholastic Meet
Archer, Schenley High School star, breaking the tape after dashing the 100-yard dash in 10.2-5 seconds, at the Ninth Interscholastic Track and Field Meet held at Schenley Oval last week. Note Watson of Peabody and other race lads, who furnished Archer his chief opposition.
HUBBARD'S RIGHT FOOT BREAKS WORLD'S BROAD JUMP RECORD
Official Leap of 25 Feet 2 Inches Given Out as Michigan Star Breaks National Conference and Collegiate Record.
CHICAGO, Ill., June 16—DeHart Hubbard, first Colored letter man of Michigan University, carried his school's colors to another victorious track meet and first place honor here last Saturday, when he leaped 25 feet 2 inches in the running broad jump, within one inch of the world's record held by Ned Gourdin of Harvard, and established a new National Conference and Collegiate record.
This flying athlete's right foot landed on a mark exactly 25 feet 4 inches from the take-off board. This writer predicts that if De Hart Hubbard ever hits just on the take-off board and not inches behind it, as he invariably does, that the new world's broad jump record will be surpassed. This outcome on the law of averages: Ned Gourdin averaged around 24 feet as his best jump until that once in every lifetime came, when he made the phenomenal record of 25 feet and better. Some day De Hart's mind and body will be 100 per cent. on the day of the meet and on that day he will jump 26 feet.
About 15 minutes before 2, the hour set for the appearance of all the competitors of over 62 entries assists Stacey Field at the University of Chicago. Hubbard told me he was O. K, but felt a little slow. Wait that day he feels fast and truly right.
Called immediately after his second broad jump record and flushed with the moment of his distance as 26 feet, he was called into the 120 high

hurdles finals, where: again more than 9,000 people stood on tiptoe to see Hubbard. He had won first place in the preliminary heat and thus qualified next to Johnson of Illinois for the pole position.
There was unusual interest in this race, since two weeks before the race had been thrown out by the officials, of the Conference Track Meet at Michigan when they found the hurdles had been improperly set, and the other coaches refused to let their men run it over with Hubbard after the mistake was discovered. Michigan thereby won the meet from Illinois by one-half point. Neither Johnson or Hubbard won this race on Saturday, but each placed fourth, and fifth, respectively. Hubbard got a great hand from the stands when he congratulated Johnson on his success in burst of speed. However, it is our candid belief the broad jump had taken Hubbard's best. He looked better than Johnson to most of the press boys around us, though they had to give it a little different color for their papers.
Amid a galaxy of world's record breakers and the country's best from all sections, including Georgia University, whose team had lockers next to Hubbard's in the same room of Chicago's Stadium, there was not a moment that the attention was not focused on the unassuming, likeable chap and stellar athlete of ours from the moment he stood at attention 10 feet away and facing the band below the 9,000 people who stood in the stands and bared as the clubs played "The Star-spangled Banner," at 2 o'clock. He was never absent from the spotlight of special introduction, performance, and finally the stands roundly applauded the announcement of the new National Collegiate Broad Jump Record.
Lige Williams, of, the Emporia, Kansas, State College, the only other Colored entry qualified in his preliminary heat, pulled a tendon and was forced to retire. He looked very good in the 100-yard dash.

CHICAGO, June 18—No account of the growth of tennis enthusiasm in the Middle-West could be authentically recorded without the name of Dr. O. B. Williams of Chicago. With the advent of this true sportsman in 1918 the Western championship was won by my friend for three successive years. But even more than the ability of this Chicagoan as a tennis stylist and court general has been his unselfish devotion to the promotion of tennis with its accompanying ideals of fine sportsmanship. No man in all America has done more for generally than Dr. B. Williams. It would not be amiss for me to recite a list of the many outstanding contributions of Dr. Williams, our chairman of the Board of Directors of the Prairie Tennis Club of Chicago, which club will act as hosts to the members of the American Tennis Association at the National Tournament, August 19-26, in this city.
Dr. Williams has kept tennis alive in Chicago for five years at an actual personal sacrifice of his practice. It was he who sponsored the first Western team to enter and on their initial visit to gain significant recognition in the National. His efforts have made the Eastern tournament a bigger and more representative success by the breaking of all traditions and the scheduling of the big event in the West, an equal distance between New York and Los Angeles, and in the greatest summer resort of the world, the Windy City of Chicago, where it never gets too hot or too cool. It is just right for fine tennis the third week in August. Possibly of very pleasant interest to the prospective entrants in the National tournament, the accomplishment of Dr. Williams and the member of the Prairie Tennis Club, especially assisted by President Isaacs and Dr. Diggs, the men who with Mrs. Seams have always stepped forward with a little more needed interest at the crucial time.
The National in August will be played on the rebuilt and resurfaced hard white clay courts of the Prairie Club. Those new courts, just completed after special treatment during the early spring months, will be the finest tennis courts that the National American Tennis Association tournament has ever been played on. We knew Chicago would put it over bigger. This writer might add, without a follow-up, confidence, that the following of tennis will get some are pleasant surprises and enjoy some real hospital experiences during the third week of August.
Another conspicuous tennis star and enthusiast, and I am glad, too, to be the schoolmate of mine of Summer High, has just won the University of Chicago's freshman tennis championship for 1923. Richard Hudlin of St. Louis is here and stroking great. He says he will enter the New York tournament again this year for the fourth time. Hudlin was the first Westerner to cross racquets with our Eastern stars.

McCall, former Pittsburgh lad, pitched sensational ball for the Tats and deserved to win.

Story Of Race Progress Told In Big Pageant
Play Being Shown in All of Larger Cities Throughout Country Creates Favorable Impression.
By E. TEN EYCK
(For the Associated Negro Press.)
The story of the experience of the Colored people in America, with all its drama of struggles and of attainments, has recently been brought to light by the presentation in several cities of a pageant, "The Milestones of a Race." Miss Ada Crogman, a talented young Colored woman, who is a dramatic organizer for the Playground and Recreation Association of America, is the author of the pageant. She has directed its production using colored groups organized for recreational activities in various cities by Community Service, maintained by the Playground and Recreation Association of America.
The pageant artistically depicts the progress of the race; first exhibiting ancestral. idol worship in Africa and proceeding to American citizenship an participation in the world war. Some of its episodes are anecdotal. Filipino American Slave Market, In the Cotton Fields, Evening Worship, Freedom, Progress, Flanders Fields and Black American Stars. A musical program of great beauty accompanies the pageant and has given choruses of Colored people a chance to present spirituals, philanthropy songs and more. Negro composers in a way that has been an inspiration to thousands.
Unusual interest has been manifested both by Colored and white audiences wherever the pageant has been produced. At Rockford, Illinois, where two hundred members of the Booker T. Washington Center were actors, the pageant played to packed houses on two evenings. Important people who witnessed it and sent written commendation included the Lieutenant Governor of the state of Illinois and the President of the Rockford Kiwanis Club. The pastor of the city's leading white church said, "I had no idea that there was as much latent talent among the colored people in Rockford as anyone else in the pagenote." A leading business man said: "We can truthfully say that this is the most successful amateur play that has ever been attempted in this community. I cannot help but feel that this pageant will result in more good than could have been accomplished through any other source."
After "The Milestones of a Race" had been presented by a cast of five hundred Colored people of Dayton, Ohio, the chairman of the Federation for Social Service Among Colored People of this city wrote: "It is a mild expression to say that the Federation is pleased with the work and further feels that the achievement has advanced the work of Community Service in this city to an extent that will be encouraging to the Colored people and eloquently impressive upon the whites." The largest crowd of white and black people over attending any effort put forth by Colored people in Dayton saw the production. When the actor representing Paul Lawrence Dunbar appeared, followed by the poet's mother, Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, in person, the house rang with applause!

Enjoyment for the Children
By Bess
Many, many years ago there was a little boy and a little girl whose names were Tommy and Kate. Now Tommy and Kate were very lazy little children and they never wanted to do any work. They just wanted to live in a world where they could eat as much as they wanted and play until they got tired. You have often heard the story that birds of a feather flock together. So Tommy and Kate went together all the time.
One day, as they were wandering through the fields, Tommy said, "Oh, Kate, wouldn't it be grand if we never had to go to school or do anything but just play all the time?"
And Kate said, "Yes, it would be grand, but I suppose I will have to do dishes and dust the parlor when company comes and sew buttons on my dresses for the rest of my life, while you have to carry wood and run to the store for your mother all the rest of yours. Ain't it awful though," and with that she gave a heavy sigh.
"As they loitered on, talking about it, a beautiful lady approached them. She was very, very beautiful. She had the loveliest mop of black streaming down back and she forehead. Her skin was a beautiful brown and Tommy noticed at once that she was not like other people because she had wings. She was dressed in White and in one hand she carried a wand.
Finally Tommy gained courage enough to ask her who she was and she answered:
"I am the fairy of gifts and I hail from Fairy Land."
"And can you give people anything they want?" asked little Tommy, amazed.
"Yes, I can give people anything they want," returned the fairy.
"Well, then, oh please, kind fairy, make Tommy and me so we won't have to work any more," asked little Kate.
"Very well," said the Fairy, "but you may be very sorry for it."
So she touched Tommy and Kate very lightly with her wand. All at once they began to feel so light and gay and they were very happy for a while.
Pretty soon little Mary Griggs came along and she said to Kate: "Give me to the pretty pill dress I made for my doll. Mother had some old pieces left from her pretty dress and she gave them to me to make my doll a frock. Isn't it pretty?"
"Yes, it is pretty," said Kate.
"Give me your sewing box and let me make one for my doll, too."
So Mary gave Kate her sewing

out, "Oh, Mary, what is the matter with my hands; they won't hold the scissors. Every time I start to cut out the dress, the scissors fall. Oh, why did I ever tell the Fairy to make me so I couldn't work any more. And with that she burst in tears. Just then little Johnny Brown chanced along and said to Tommy: "Oh, look here at what I'm painting, Tom. I bet you can't do this. My father says I'm gonna be a great artist when I grow up." "Oh, yes, I can do that," too, Johnny Brown; you are not the only man to paint. Just you hand me your paint brush here a minute and I'll show you, Mr. Smarty." So Johnny handed his paint brush to Tommy, but no sooner had he started to paint than the brush fell to the ground. Tommy did not notice it at first, but stooped to pick it up and patiently started to paint again when they mockingly yelled: "Oh, loove he can't even hold a paint brush."
But Tommy had no sooner picked it up when it fell to the ground again. Then suddenly it dawned on him that he had asked the Fairy to make him so he wouldn't have to do any work. Sheepishly he turned to Johnny and said:
"Well, I guess I can't paint like you can, Johnny, and I guess I can't ever do nothing. No gifts to fix me so I wouldn't have to do any more work and I guess I'm fixed, all right."
At his sad confession Mary and Johnny turned with upturned noses and left Kate and Tommy staring at each other.
Then Tommy turned on Kate and said:
"Oh, you Kate Miller, if it hadn't been for you we would have been able to dress things like everybody else. Now we have to sit around like dummies and let someone else do things when we look on, and it's all your fault, too."
Then Kate turned to Tommy and said: "It's yourself you better be blaming, Tommy Perkins, 'cause you said you wished you didn't have to work any more, and when I asked the Fairy to make us that may you try to blame it on me," and with that she scratched him in the face, and Tommy pulled Kate's hair and then the Fairy appeared and said: "I told you that you would be sorry, but I will make you like other boys and girls again if promise me that you will never say again if you don't want to work any more."
So Kate and Tommy promised and told them they were as before. Tommy grew up to be a great artist and Kate became a famous dress-maker, and they have never said to this day that they never wanted to work any more.
LeRoy Brown Is Crowned Champion Marble Shooter
THE DEAL
MIXER, HYLAN PRESENTING LEROY BROWN WITH EVENING-WORLD MEDAL
EMPIREMATIC: QE, NEW YORK'S, MARBLE CHAMPIONSHIP
Brooklyn Colored Lad Wins City Title and Gold Medal.
NEW YORK, June 21—Winning the New York City marble shooting championship wasn't anything more troublesome than consuming a juicy slice of watermelon for Leroy Brown, a tall 14-year-old colored youth from Brooklyn. The realization of victory was something entirely different. Accepting Mayor Hylan's congratulations and the "Evening World" gold medal the stunned youth hat, could one overcome? "Yessir," Brown earns the right to represent New York in the national tournament at Atlantic City late this month against 39 champions from all sections of the United States. The local title was decided late Saturday afternoon when borough winners gathered around a special shootin' ring in front of the City Hall. A big crowd of youths and many oldsters who were just as interested in the sport and particularly encouraged the efforts of the lengthy colored boy, who seemed oblivious to everything except the importance of knocking marbles out of the arena.
"Hizzoner" is on Job
Francis D. Gallatin, commissioner of parks, was honorary referee. He was flanked by many city-officials, while soon after the start of hostilities Mayor Hylan stopped work to view the battle of "nibs."
The seven finalists were survivors of preliminary rounds that attracted
an originald field of over 40,000 hopeful candidates from both sexes. They were Eugene Reilly and Julius Doktor, Manhattan; Leroy Brown and Frank Rotundo, Brooklyn; Bill Coburn, Richmond; Harry Worsnop, Queens; Jacob Neidich, Bronx. Flanked by a small group of playground directors who acted as scout and contestants wasted little time getting down to position for the shooting order was Coburn, Doktor, Rotundo, Reilly, Worsnop, Neidich and Brown. Coburn, the lame winner from Staten Island, received generous applause when he cleverly sent his shooter into the center cluster of "nibs." Each took his first aim without scoring a "kill." A big No. seven" pinned on the back of Brown caught the attention of the crowd who to ultimately happen, especially when the lad won the deciding match with 11 points.
Brown "Gets Going"
Rotundo, shooting steadily, scored the first point and then marbles began rolling, out of the 11-foot circle, all fair hits from eagle eye marksmen. "The contest didn't gone far when Brown caught his stride. Aided by a tremendous reach the colored boy worked in and out of the middle bunch and connected with the target from every range. He was easily the star of the opening match. The results were: Brown 15, Coburn 12, Reilly 10, Rotundo 6, Doktor and Worson each 2 and Neidich 1.
Manhattan made its big bid in the second game which Reilly won with a lot of skillful lefthand shooting.

He was seldom out of range of the center group and made few misgues. The scores were: Reilly 10, Worsnop 9, Brown 7, Doktor 4, Neldich 1, Coburn 0.
With the lead divided between Brooklyn and Manhattan, the colored star became invincible; the much more and peeble long shots that free play brought cheers. Overcoming Rotundo the cheers Brown flashed quickly to the front and won with a total of 11 points. Rotundo had 7, Coburn 5, Reilly 4, Doktor 3, Worsnop 1 and Nedich 0. The final standing was: Brooklyn, first; Manhattan, second; Richmond, third.
The new champion, dolled up in a big felt hat, knickerbockers and white canvas shoes, looked more than his 74 years." Despite his unusual height Brown, however, is still very much of a kid. Marbles is his favorite sport. He has been playing them for four years. Leroy lives at 339 Bridge street and is a pupil in class B, sixth grade, P. S. No. 5.

There were so many things she could not understand and as she sat trying to solve this—one of the greatest problems life had placed upon her, a young girl, polished in manner and immaculately groomed appeared before her.
"I beg your pardon. Miss Trent, for the intrusion," as he nervously and boyishly toyed with his hat. He thought he noticed a slight start at his familiar use of her name and sensed from this that she had not yet understood his identity. "I just had to come," he continued. "I had to apologize. I had to tell you how sorry I am and that I will never deal again."
How childish it all sounded and yet she screered!
"I am so glad. I should be very happy to feel that somehow I had figured out so little in your reform, Mr. Prater."
"Do not call me that any longer, Miss Trent. I beg of you to call me Tom Fordiney, your old Tom, who from now goes straight."

She recalled the many happy times they had had together when children.

Her face brightened as she felt that this was his revenge.
"Tom, is this what you consider avenging the wrong toward your father?" "I did, but not any longer, Kate." "Are you quite sure that you are sorry; that you have deserted the life for good?"
"If my only reward could be my being forgiven for wounding the only creature I have loved since my mother's death, the world would be a paradise where no wrong could tempt me, Kate."
"I forgave you before you asked it Tom and time will help me to forget."
As he left the room Kate halted him. "You may call again if you care to, Tom." and Tom smiled back a smile of understanding and consent.
Jealous Girls Fight To Death One Stabbed Fatally With Penknife; Police Hold Alleged Assailant.
DETROIT, Mich., June 21—"eal-
ous rivalry and the insane desire to
avenge alleged disparaging re-
marks prompted the death battle bet-
ween two women, in which Melia
Hunter, 23 years old, 436 Charlotte
street, was fatally stabbed with a
pokeknife soon after 4 o'clock Thursday
morning, in front of 3767 Brush
street, preliminary investigations by
the police indicate.
Miss Hunter's alleged assailant,
Mrs. Evelyn Stikare, 22 years old,
the victim, also was wounded in the af-
fray. She is held on the charge of
murder.
According to Bessie Palmer, 102 Stimson avenue, friend of the slain girl, the two spent the night together at the home of Mrs. Jean Woods, 617 Garfield avenue. At 4 o'clock, Mclovel, who also was known as "Babe" Rossell, received a telephone call and told her Evelyn Stalker wanted to see her at the Brush street address. The two summoned a taxicab and drove to the place, and while "Babe" and Evelyn engaged in an animated conversation on the sidewalk Bessie and the taxicab driver, Raymond Smith, remained in the car.
Suddenly, according to the two witnesses, they heard "Babe" question. "What are you going to do about it?"
"I'll show you right now," Evelyn is quoted as saying. The witnesses say Evelyn drew a little pocketknife and attacked "Babe," striking her twice before she was able to wrest the weapon away. In the encounter, Evelyn's wrist was cut. The rushes in the taxi-cab to Receiving Hospital, but Miss Hunter expired before reaching there. She had a knife wound on the hip and another below the heart.
PARIS, June 21.-Golden chains as suspenders to hold up "undies" is the latest Paris fad.
Doliche chains of tiny links, like those attached to spectacles now replace ribbons over the shoulder to support dainty chemises and combinations. The adoption of the chains is the result of the sudden abandoning of black lingerie by Parisiennes since somber hued robes have been discarded. Black straps over the shoulder were all right, but light ribbons soiled to quickly and so were discarded in favor of the precious metal chains.

What a name! Reminder of cool, woodlands, with green trees swaying gently before an enticing summer page, bumps, rolling greensward and a embbling, large, restful bungalow house;
And this is just what the Shady Rest Golf Club of Westfield, N. J. is. Organized a little over two years ago by a group of progressive colored citizens of the "near-effete" east, the club has grown in size, popularity and prestige, until at the present time it is a real mecca for the outpouring of Eastern Society.

This is the raucous cry which sweeps across the bowling green as the future dark-skinned Sarazens, Hagens, Collette, Rooseburgh and others who have become golf immortals, attempt the ideal of every golf enthusiast, the hole-in-one-stroke.
And aside from the physical betterment of the individuals who play the game, the advent of this club upon the horizon, mankind's first step in a series which will ultimately educate the entire race to the value of the high-performance forms of athletic endeavor. The club is one of the most magnificent barometers of racial launched, and James A. Jackson, co-editor of the Billboard and one of the most profound theatrical and amusement experts of the race has the following comment to make:
For nearly a year, fragments of news concerning a new colored club has been coming to our notice; only to be more or less disregarded or pressed aside by more professional interests. However, when the N. Y. Sun devoted a double column story to this project, we began to sit up and take notice. In this we were prompted largely by the vein of sarcastic humor with which the story was invested. Our very intimate knowledge of our people made hard to reconcile the artbulum comedy with which the club membership was credited and the class of people we know to be as a rule interested in such enterprises. Hence when vacation began, two days later we gathered friend wife and team, and affiliated us to Westfield, N. J. —and there saw for ourselves one of the most magnificent barometers of race progress that it has been our pleasure to see.
Purposely we walked to the club, asking directions of whom we might. The answers, every one, whether from colored or from white citizens of the city were couched for the club that commemorated for the club the community.
Arriving we entered a sign-marked driveway, passed, three autos, went up onto a long veranda, and thru a colonial door of a house that would be a credit to any club. On the inside we found three men and fourteen women, all of whom remained dignified aloof from us for the time. Asking for an official, I met Mr. J. E. Baker, a director. From then on things moved pleasantly along. I found that the 31 acre property, improved with a nine-hole golf

The fact that Saturdays are given over to visitors at a 75 cents admission is in itself an indication that the club is inclined to democratic policies; while the atmosphere indicates an intention to have a public audience, the perfect employment as behooves the class of persons who constitute the membership.
Shady Rest, at Westfield, is just 20 miles from New York, a short distance from Trenton, Atlantic City, Asbury Park and Philadelphia. If you care for a pleasant day among nice people give a visit to your local library, or allow you be "out of place" a fact easily discernible there.
In an interview, as the writer "galleryied" a round with Messra. Brooks, Baker and Gordon, was informed that the club purposes to make its usefulness national in scope. Membership will be encouraged from the better type of people that the club wants to attract, the club house will be enlarged, so as to accommodate the distant ones for vacation periods, weekends etc. It is together probable that this will be well-received, since the promoters of the project, together with the residents of the adjacent property are affiliated thru school, business and professional relationship with membership material all over the city. A single day in any life have I talked with a more metropolitan, yet more reserved the well-informed group of men. The wife reports the ladies to have been equally affable.
While there was no ostentation it was quite evident that those present were enjoying the comforts of life. While perhaps twenty cars came and went during the hours we were there, none—conveyed the idea of a picture naturally. Many came by trolley; yet no supercilious was occasioned—not even when the writer came walking.

MEN LIKE "NICE" GIRLS KIND THAT CAN BLUSH BELIEVES SOCIAL LEADER
But the One Who Can Is as Rare as the Person Who Can Move His Ears, She Says—The Modern Girl Cannot Be Shocked.
A nice girl, according to the Hon. Mrs. Claud Yorke, is one who "is still capable of that strange physical feat which is almost as extinct as the capacity to move our ears—the blush."
And it is still the "nice" girl, according to Mrs. Yorke, who is one of London's best society leaders, who is the favorite of men. It is about her "love" for the people she has been written" and to her that "poets have sung their sweetest songs." Therefore, Mrs. Yorke declares, the modern girl should not regard the appellation of "nice" as a handicap.
"Every era has its fashions in women," said Mrs. Yorke, "but none of us can remember any such curious fashion as had produced the women of today. What is that fashion?"

"Such a fashion, of course, fills the life of the girl who does not follow it with problems. She hears a risque story and is at once placed in an abominable dilemma.

Be Ready With Your Bathing Toggery
There are so many interesting bathing accessories nowadays that it is an easy matter to lose sight of the bathing suit itself. And some women go on a theory that the cost of a bathing suit is the skin black one. They leave it to the accessories to take care of the color. There are bright bathing capes and scarfs and sometimes dark bathing capes lined with bright figures. There are all sorts of gay and giddy bathing capes and rubber-covered head with a gay handkerchief is bound to be popular. There are parasols of many

HowMr. and Mrs. Bluff"Get By' If Relatives Come
As befts a city of bunk and bluff, New York has fine apartments which may be rented for a day, a week or a month. They are real Fifth avenue homes, equipped with all the necessities and luxuries of life and fully staffed as to servants, ruled over by the best butlers that ever butled in a family whose veins ran with the old-blue. The apartments are rented by those who come to the city, locate here and write back home glowing accounts of the success with which they have met. Their letters contain references to residence on the avenue, the writer feeling courage in the act, the old house being a considerable mileage in the Hinterland. But one day Uncle Ben or Aunt Susie or Mary, with whom Kitty graduated, gives notice that they are coming to New York and expect Mr. and Mrs. Four Flush to put them up.
Then the ready rental domiciles gain an occupant, the cost 'beling steep, but held worth while nevertheless. The servants are discreet and there is nothing to indicate that the tenants are not renting by the year instead of by the day. It costs money to maintain these apartments, but the demand is such that the investment is a paying one. You can't believe the wouldn't be available. At least one agent maintains that he has a waiting list. Incidentally, the identity of the renters is a carefully guarded secret the cost of this being a part of the reckoning.
CINCINNATI, O, June 21—Miss Jennie D. Porter, principal of the Harriet Beecher Stowe school, and one of the elders in the movement that obtained a new school at Seventh and Cutter streets for the Negro children of the West End, received the Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Cincinnati Saturday morning. Four other teachers (white) also received degrees. The following editorial appeared in the daily Cincinnati Times Star:
What One Cincinnati Woman Did
In its pride in the new Harriet Beecher Stowe school for Colored students, which opened this week in the West End, Cincinnati will not forget its debt to Miss Jennifer Porter, principal of the school and for many years principal of the old Stowe school. This fine new building in the Spanish renaissance style accommodates 1,400 students, has manual training in household equipment, a library, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, an auditorium, and is equipped for a pine organ and a motion picture machine. It will be a social and cultural center for the Negro population of the city.
More than anything else, the devotion of one woman has brought the center into being. Miss Porter has toiled and dreamed for her race in the spirit of Booker T. Washington and Major Moton, and the dream has been made manifest. Cincinnati will regret that illness has stricken her at the very moment when the new school opens its doors and her own purpose to win a university degree had been realized, and will wish her restored vigor for the harvest which she has brought in sight.
Divorces in Paris Obtained on Credit
Divorces have doubled in France since the war, according to figures made public recently. A general divorce law was first passed in France in 1884, and in that year there were 1,657 divorces. In 1913 there were 1,919 divorces of was 15,872. In 1919, when the armies were being disbanded and people were free to put their houses in order, this number reached 19,465. In 1920 it reached 31,465, in 1921 the number was 30,498, and last year 30,753. Divorces of this increase of divorces are not tabulated, due to the secrecy of court proceedings relating to family affairs.
However, the general causes are infidelity, desertion, and the slow breaking up of the family tie during the war, with the greater freedom that has come to women who began to earn their living during the war. Both sexes is said have the same moral responsibility. Another cause given is nervousness growing out of the war, making both sexes less able to bear the restraints and childs of married life. Yet another
TWO TION of Time, Place Man, Make Irresistible
Spooning is the inalienable proximate of youth, according to coeds at Washington University, who say that the combination of the time, the plaque and the right man makes it, irresistible. They made this statement in connection with the recent questionaire sent out by the bureau of social hygiene. The co-eds saw in the questionaire an implied refraction on spooning.
According to the best authorities, girls like to spoon. That has been the way they won husbands from time immemorial. Spooning is only another name for love making, or wooing, or courting, or several other better sounding terms that are used in the best circles and approved of by the most refined people. Under the head of spooning come kisses, hugs and so forth.
All the famous characters of history and literature have spoofed.
tory and literature have spooled. The bureau of social hygiene sent out 3,000 questionairs to married women to get a complete view of what goes on evenings when young folk get together. The bureau learned that 375 of them had spooled with other men than their husbands before their marriage. Two hundred and eight had spooled and 88 never spooled at all. The never spooled were sent to six hirsud men—many college graduates, forty-one high school and normal school graduates, and twelve private school graduates. Only 1,000 out of 3,000 sent out were answered. The questionaire created much excitement at the time the results were given out, mainly on the ground that so many women acknowledged having spooled with men other than their flances.
College girls have history to back them in their spooning.
Their books taught them that Cassar and Cleopatra spooned, and that many others of even better reputations than the Roman Emperor and the Egyptian princess also spooned. Literature also vouched for the responsibility of spooning. Practically every romance is a record of spooning, one of which spouses' plays. The Shiek also spooned, though college girls do not study this as a regular part of their regular course in modern literature. The girls figure that if they are to get husbands, they must take some definite steps. Spooning is the most definite step possible for them to take. Men will not fall in love with cold, distant young women, will be delitious, will do harm. Statistics show that more girls who kiss, now and then get married than girls who do not kiss.
Statistics, though, they do not like. They say that trying to get statistics on the number of girls who spoon and the number who do not is absurd. Thy do not believe that girls either remember or care to say how many men they have spooned with. Whenever answers are received they believe that it is doubtful if they are accurate or truthful. In the first place, memory can scarcely recollect the number of men who have, in one sense of the word or another, spooned with them. In the second place, memory can to them and each was able to apply her own conception of the term to the answers. What one girl might call spooning another girl wouldn't. A kiss might be spooning to one girl and not to another.
The girls also feel that not to be spooned with is in the nature of all insult. To go out two or three times with a boy, and not have him to try a kiss or a bug or to squeeze a hand is not attempted. If the girl feels hurt, they say, if something in the way of spooning is not attempted at the least, it makes a girl feel that she is a failure as a temptress. The gallant young man of today, they say, will make some attempt or other at spooning, and the chances are that the girl will not be averse, for the girl will not be to expiiration and are dissappointed in a girl if she does not spoon. They may not ever come to see them again. Competition demands that they make efforts to hold the gentleman friends. Besides, they say, nature and circumstances are irresistible. The straightness of the girl must resist the thrill of spooning when the moon is right, the spot an ideal one, and the man at least partly presentable.
Man Sues Railroad
For$50,000 Damages
DETROIT, Mich., June 21. — Arthur Kilgore, a truck driver, is suing in Judge Charles G Shimke, a court supervisor, $50,000 damages from the Detroit, Monroe & Toleno Short Line railway for the loss of part of his left leg in an accident at the Rockwood crossing. He says he used to be a handy man and drew $40 a week, but since the accident has had to take a job on a steam shovel at $30 a week. The accident occurred in 1917, and since then he has been in constant pain, he needs
cause is the tolerance of the courts and the ease with which divorces may be obtained, one factor of which is the cheapness of the decree obtained through lawyers, who, in certain cases, may pay the divorcee in the monthly credit, and no payment unless decree obtained."

Representative Adelbert H. Roberts
Now our own future Senator gets an appropriation through the Illinois Legislature of $15,000 and $3,000 from the city of Springfield to beautify the homestead of the great American and our Emancipator, Abraham Linein. Mr. Roberts will head a state-wide committee of colored citizens to raise sufficient funds to erect a fountain on the grounds of Lincoln's Springfield residence. The plans have already been taken up with Lorado Taft, the famous sculptor. Representative Roberts said: "This will be the only statute to the emancipator erected in the state exclusively by colored people." Mr. Roberts seems to have a voice in the Illinois House; first, he scathed the Klan through a bill with beech; then he again interprets the true spirit of the Colored citizens of Illinois and the rest of our population through their representatives, appropriates money to back up this Colored legislator. We always believed you could not keep a good man down—or a race either for that matter.
Edward Porter Davis, A.B., A.M., Ph.D.
At the 129th Convocation of the University of Chicago, Edward Porter Davis Professor of German at Howard University, received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Magnacnum Laudé, the Fourth Colored man to be thus honored by the University of Chicago; the first; the late, Dr. C. H. Turner of St. Louis; Professor Ernest Everett Just of Washington and Professor Julian Lewis of Chicago. Only three other men received a Ph.D. along with Professor Davis in the June class. Some 1,000 others received degrees, but among them all there were only five who were honored with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. I guess Greek and Latin are really dead languages to this "flapper" age. Misses Wilhelmina Harrison, Artishia G. Wilkerson and Clementy Ferry each received the degree of Bachelor of Science, as well as Harold M. Houston, James L. Hall and Everett W. Campbell. Irvin C. Mollison was awarded the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence from the Law School and one unknown graduate with a high degree from the Dvityn School. Not a bad showing; but there might be a few more college attendants at a fine school, so conveniently located, just about ten squares from the homes of more than 100,000 of the best Colored people in the United States.
Klan Loses Another Mayor
Now Minneapolis comes forward and defeats the candidate of the Ku Klux Klan for Mayor. Mayor Dover of Chicago and Mayor Hyland of New York have set a splendid example. Mayor "Lew" Shank of Indianapolis will probably be elected Governor of Indiana, as Al Smith was of New York, if he continues to fight the Ku Klux Klan. No real red-blooded American citizen believes in the Klan's program of terrorism and lawlessness.
College Athletics
College athletics are clean and permit no color line and it helps the whole world to see clearer and more sensibly. For the entire week preceding the National Intercollegiate Track meet the picture of DeHart Humbard, greatest broad jumper of all times; and a student at Michigan University, has had a prominent place in the big dailies of Chicago, with very commendatory stories of the process of this great athlete, not segregated, but in the one and same articles and on the identical pages in which were discussed other stars and popular idols of the world of sports.
B. Y. P. U. Congress
Many delegations from the prominent Baptist churches of Chicago have journeyed to H. P. Springs from the annual B. Y. P. U. Congress. Dr. S. E. J. Watson, pastor of the Pilgrim Temple Baptist Church, second only to Dr. Williams, Olivet Baptist Church, in Chicago, is in charge of the party.

Consul Yerby Speaks
Consul W. S. Verby, home for the graduation of his daughter Clementine from the University of Chicago, advised the young people at Grace Lyeum Sunday to give up luxuries and to go into business, for the Africans in 'West Senegal were fast outstripping us. We wonder if tho consul thinks "Jim" (Clementine) is going to use that new Buick Coupe: graduation gift for a pleasure boat or a transfer truck. Advice is easy to give, but hard to follow, boys, when a sweet, beautiful child calls you "Daddy."
The Y. W. C. A. Benefits
Miss Dorothy Cadozoe again looked very pleasant at the Kappa play, "Look Pleasant, Please," which the public gladly paid to see again at the Aryan Grotto, in the loop. The proceeds were turned over to ald the Colored Y. W. C. A. in the citywide drive for funds. We would recommend that more Colored girls go in for toe dancing, as it undoubtedly lends charm and poise to one's personality, if we are to judge the results from Miss Cadozoe. The Misses Speed and Lewis are a very clever pair, too, with that toe work. Miss Fleming and Roger Wilson can really make love in song, though I suppose Miss Kennedy would not see the humor of it all. Mr. and Mrs. C. Udell Turpin have become June's betrothed since the first rendition. They could not improve on their parts. Richard Jones stands in a class by himself, and he and Sol Butler really put on one funny dance. Attorney Wilkins and Grand Polenarchi Ellis Stewart are naturally good. Attorney Charles Wilson, though the producer, manages to still cut up after the fashion of Al Jolson.
New Chicago Inter-Racial Commission
The most constructive and advanced step taken in the North for the promotion of better race relations was the recent appointment of a commission of outstanding civic leaders of both races by the Chicago Church Federation. The entire commission will consist of 120 members. Among the original sponsors appear the names of Julius Rosenwald, George R. Arthur, Executive Secretary of the Wabash Y. M. C. A.; Dr. George C. Hall, Dr. C. E. Bentley, Alexander Jackson, Rev. Henry E. Stewart, Rev. L. K. Williams, Rev. Chalmers Covert and Rev. W. A. Blackwell. It is understood that Dr. Shailer Matthews, Dean of the Divinity School at the University of Chicago, will be elected chairman and Morris Lewis, head of the local N. A. A. G. P., will act as secretary. Professor P. O. Peck of Northwestern University, will be another splendid addition. This is indeed a very timely program and we will expect no less from this splendid body as a standard of national guidance than was furnished by the full report and published book on the findings, of the Lowden Inter-racial Commission, appointed after the unfortunate riots of the summer of 1920. Only a few weeks ago Graham Taylor cited this work before the National body of Social Agencies of America, assembled in Washington.
Dayton, O2
The Elliott, Taylor, Jones Trio is making a record for Stevens High School and Dayton this season in the realms of track and field. The achievements of Elliott in the recent meets have not been equalled in the past ten years. He is now holder of state honors in the 100-yard dash and also has made more pions than any individual on Stevens' team. Elliott made ten of the twenty points scored by his team in the Miami University meet. The jumping ability of Earl Taylor cannot be equalled in the state when we consider the fact that Taylor is a freshman in High School and is now jumping 5.8. S. Jones can easily be classed as the "Achilles" of the Negro youths in Dayton, because he is not only the fastest runner of his age in Dayton, but in the state. Dayton has a right to be proud of the Stevens track team because the Stevens track team is the Elliott, Taylor, Jones Trio. Elliott received the gold medal as the all-around athlete of Stevens High School. Mr. Phillip De Course, chef at Hotel Bartlett, Cambridge Springs, Pa., was the week-end guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Elliott of Dayton, Ohio.

Lexington, V2.
Much favorable comment has been heard concerning the book of Ethica written by the Rev. N. J. Gonsales, the pastor of the First Baptist Church. In the death of Mrs. Anna Chandler the family loses a loyal member; the church an ardent supporter and the community a good citizen. Clay Rowland had a narrow escape in an automobile accident. He is reported improving. Mrs. Julia Grigsby, who teaches in Harrisonburg, is the guest of her mother, Mrs. Emily Grigsby. A heat wave of great severity is passing over Lexington, but the nights make the day bearable. Mrs. Helen Whito and Harvey Myers are on the sick list. Rise Pettegrew, one of Lexington's sons, is visiting old friends and scenes. The Randolph Street Church, under Rev. Mathews, is succeeding. A rally of great interest is in progress. The names of Loise Golche and Albert Phillip Lee appear on the graduating poster of V. N. and I. I. We congratulate them. There was a literary program given at the First Baptist Church of Lexington, Va., on May 22, for the general association, which will meet in Briston, Vu. The participants on the program were: Miss Frances Huffman, Miss Frances Chandler, Mrs. K. P. Banks, who ren-
dored reeditions; Mrs. I. H. Huffman, Messra, M. H. Morrison and Abrams, instrumental, selections; Rev. and Mrs. N. J. Gonsales rendered a duet. Popular music given by the Men's Club Orchestra. Freshments were served by a polite committee.

MT read a few days_ago in the
newspapers that Miss Savage's ap-

protest most energetically ‘against

mittee will revise its decision and
permit her to pursue her art, I can-

CHICAGO, Il, June 21.—-Accord-
ing to a, statement issued last
‘Thursday afternoon by Mrs, Rose
Rosehart, a_ returned missionary
from West Coast, Africa, African
girls are decidedly more modest than
‘American girls. Mrs: Rosehart said,
sT''have been stationed in Sierra
Leone for the past six years. Afri-
can women wear clothes that cover
up and to. thelr everlasting credit
are much more modest than Amer-
jean girls and women.”
You speak of flappers in Afries,
yes) there are a few, but they are
exceedingly rare, and they use blue
paste instead of rouge. T-must con-
feax that those, supposedly-heathen
women are far in advance of Amer-
jean women, especially when it
‘comes to modesty.

Under the caption, Weekly Ser
mon, of June Sth, we gave the defi
nition of Spiritualism, and we ex-
press in today's letter the defini-
tion of a Spiritualist and a medium.
A “Spiritualfst” is one who be-
ieves, as a part of his or her re-
ligion, in the <communication be-
tween this an dthe sporit world by
means of medjumship, and who en-
deavors to mould hie or her char-
acter and conduct in accordance
with the highest teachings derived
from such communion, A “medium”
is one whose organism is sensitive
to vibrations from the spirit world,
‘and through whose instrumentality
intelligences in that world are able
te convey messages and produce the
phenoinena of Spiritualism. ‘Thus
Spiritualism and Spiritualists today
are teaching and. ‘demonstrating
heough | mediumship, as did the
Prophet and Seer of Nazareth, the
master medium of all time. ‘How
‘can we forget in the life of that
Prince of Peace how few were his
followers, and in his official ‘fam-
ily (“The Disciples”). even they did
et fully understand is ‘words oF
ts; John 6:60. It was not until he
iad demonstrated the resurrection
that they did come fo the realization
of the truth. Yes, that material veil
had been lifted from their eyes, and
from thote deys toy the present
Ficitualiem in her onward march,
opening the prison doors of men’s
canselenes, giving comfort and s0-
Jace to the peoples of earth, in the
fact “There is hope beyond.” But
the multitude, as was in the days of
the Prophet of Nazareth, are sitting
in the arms of complasency, sing-
ing and shouting, “The old-time te-
ligion is good enough for me,” while
within themselves there is life, joy
and peace awaiting unfoldment. I
cannot but repeat the prophet “isa-
jah”: Eyes they have but they see
not; ears they ‘have but will not
hear. Modern Spiritualism is not
daunted or dismayed, though de-
spised, yet not rejected, though
scorned, but still persistent, though
erushed to earth; still rises, as does
that, stellar body; the "Sun,"
ap rays of love and glad-
rireriead {er mastage of guetetl
toward men,
“And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall set you frce"—

“Kick” Because
Race Man is Boss
RALEIGH, N. C., June 21—Sena-
tor Overman has recently called on
Postmaster General Harry S, New
in an effort to have a Southern white
man, now acting as helper, to be
placed in the position of elerk-in-
charge “on the line running from
Goldsboro to Beufort, Senator Over-
man: told Postmaster General New
that iit is exceedingly humiliating
for & white man to be working un-

a helper. He said that all the white
people of North Carolina were

Brised to learn that sich s. govern-
ment as this would permit Negroes
to order a Southern white man
around.
It was stated that postal author.

(white) was running as helper and
that he had made application for the
position as clerivin-charge on. the
ine, ‘but investigation disclosed: the
fact ‘that under the seniority: rule
and efficiency test Hales ~was“not
qualified for the position and had
been so informed. As far as could
be learned the postal authorities are
determined to have Mr. Hales re-
main where he is or ask for a trans-
fer to some other department where
he may work without feeling so hu-
miliated.
It is pointed out that Hales has
been in the postal service for more
than 34 years and that none of the
Negroes on the line have been in
service that long. It seems, however,
that the efficiency test had much to
do with placing the Negroes in the
positions they now hold. Hales, it
was learned, had held several other
minor positions in the postal service.

Indications are that ths Democrats

a political issue, and it is said that

some uneasiness in this connection,
as it will make considerable trouble

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.
A rising rumor of surprised indignation is being heard throughout the country as day by day the light is turned on the Veterans' Hospital situation at Tuskegee. We almost a unit in condemnation of the part played in the scandal by Major. Principal of Tuskegee. Those who do not openly condemn the Major offer a feeble excuse for what they call his poor judgment.

As there are no colored doctors at the hospital, the colored women work there are at the mercy of these men, with no one to protect them. Most of these women are trained nurses but

charge. Despite the widely published statement alleged to have been authorized by President Hairig, that the United States Hospital erected here for the exclusive treatment of Negro world war veterans, would be officiated throughout with a colored personnel, the hospital opened May 20 with Col. R. M. Stanley, a army physician of Greenville, Alabama, in charge. He has a staff of white physicians and forty colored nurses have been certified, but no colored physicians. It is reported that later some colored physicians will be given minor places.
Dr. Stanley's position pays $10,000 a year, and he will supervise the expenditure of $1,500,000, which it is estimated will be the amount of the annual budget. Man Flavored The Washington Tribune vigorously denounces the part Major Moton plays in the following terms:
The denials by the Veteran Bureau and the pussyfooting of Major R. R. Moton, now appear in their true light. In the hospital opened, this Dr. Stanley was asked by a reliable newspaper correspondent who was at Tuskegee at that time, if there were to be any colored doctors at all, and Stanley replied in choice Southern language that he was from Grenville, Ala., and that he never would have "niggers" working with him. He further stated that when he was with the explicit understanding that he was not to be bothered with "niggers."

stantons, he would ask the young sisters, their names and when told "Miss Jones," he would, abruptly blurt out, "What is your first name?" When told, "Mary," he would then say, "Now, Mary, you are to be the assistant to Miss-Williams, the white nurse."
As there are no colored doctors at the hospital, the colored women who work there are at the mercy of these white crackers, with no one to protect them. Most of these women are trained nurses but are doing little work, while the Southern white women are around and order them about. A number of the women are forced to do personal service work.
The deplorable state of affairs at this hospital, which has only been opened a week, has placed Major R. B. Moton and Tuskegee Institute in a very embarrassing position. Major Moton, who at first announced that he was for a complete Colored Major, who completely reversed himself. While still no such announcement himself, he has permitted white Southern papers to give this impression and he has made no open protest. While the Colored press of the country has been voiciferous in its denunciation of Dr. Moton's position, not one word of protest or enlightenment has come from Tuskegee.
The Tribune sent a special telegram to Dr. Moton last week asking information as to his position, but the "Doctor" simply referred us to where Tuskegee is miles from Tuskegee. Just why another person should answer as to where Dr. Moton stands on a public matter instead of Dr. Moton answering for himself is a puzzle.
Hint Burial Graft
According to the Atlanta Independent, the hospital authorities have already arranged with a white undertaker in a far-off city to handle all soldiers who die at the hospital.
Says the Independent:
We are reliably informed that a contract has been let to a Greenville, South Carolina, white undertaker to handle the dead bodies of the "vets" who may die at the Tuskegee Hospital. This, in our minds, is just another of the political blunders of the Republican administration.
We would like to know, first, why was the contract awarded a white male candidate of South Carolina, when there were two competent Negro undertakers already located at Tuskegee.
Second, why was the gentlemen who handles you last selected before the one who turns you over to him? it appears on the face of things "it is something not in Denmark." As we see it, a hospital is a place where the ill go to be cured and not to die. And while it is true that people do die at hospitals, sometimes, it is passing strange that an undertaker should be elected before the doctor has been selected. This fact may not be very pleasant news to a wounded veteran, and he may be more likely to become a friend than wish to get rid of him and take his responsibility off the shoulders of the government. Politics should have no place in a hospital that is supposed to care for the wounded soldiers, who so valiantly served in the interest of their government. There should be nothing within the power of the government too good for them and they should be given more attention than the very best of attention. The least that could be done would be to carefully and painstakingly attend theirills.
White people would not dare, for fear of thunderous condemnation, inject polities into a hospital for their wounded boys, and we are not going to have it in ours, and they may as well get it out.
White undertakers have no more right to bury Negro soldiers than black undertakers have to bury white soldiers.

Light Wines, Beer and Local Option
We are not unmindful of the present tour of President Harding, seeking to learn the pulse of the people. We know he is trying to learn what is in the minds of the American people, especially with respect to the International Court. Like another Chief Executive who started West to learn the sentiment of the people, Mr. Harding will learn, and all too well.
The International Court and the League of Nations will not attract public attention in 1924, as a national issue. The people will never again be led into foreign subjects at the expense of the many domestic ones which touch their every day life and habits. The American people dismissed the League of Nations because they were tired of Wilson as he was made to appear in the columns of the Republican journals. The people wanted a change, but they wanted more than a mere change. The people wanted then, and they want now, a restoration to former methods of living. They want to see once more the exact purchasing power of the dollar in America. They want the cost of living restored to former levels where all could meet it. They want the freedom of the people unshackled, and free locomotion of mind and body granted the small as well as the great. The people want to return to the normal habits of life as they knew them before the World war. The people are living in a straight-jacket, too tight for any freedom of action. Even thought is muzzled by propagandists who have assumed the role of dictator for the people. The common people of America, the people who do the work, and who do the fighting in time of war, the plain people, want their country restored to them.
Talk as we will about the Constitutional Amendments, there never will be the respect for amendments that the reformer demands until the respect is made general and unrestricted. Respect for the Eighteenth Amendment could be had for the mere asking, but the American people have been allowed to disrespect other amendments without any penalties inflicted. They know from the record of their own short and inconsistent history that amendments are NOT respected, as a general proposition.
The sensible leaders of this country have but to sense the impatience of the common people to learn just what the national issue must be next year. The party that comes openly before the people and declares for light wines, beer and local option, is the winning party at the polls—next year. Of course, the reformer will cry out against this statement. To his cries we answer that it was he who said this country wanted to abolish liquor in every form. But we learn that the people are not abolishing liquor in every form. The staggering drunks on our public streets tells but half the story. The "higher-ups" who have money enough to hide their drunks behind the walls of society are consuming much more than the drunks who stagger upon our streets. It is not what the reformers say the people want, but it is what the people are actually having, that counts. The private home has supplanted the saloon—except the expense is greater.
The American people are having their beer, their wines and they are having them in every locality where the users of such beverages are in majority. No laws have stopped them in the past, and none will stop them in the future. We may whisper all we like, we may preach all we care to preach, we may publish tracts upon tracts, but we are playing with a deadly question. The people are using every kind of beverage known to human ingenuity. This practice can be found in every community where the users of beverages amount to anything like a power or a force. Such localities will always have what they want. The people are making it, and every day, in every way, they are making it better and better.
Why, then, should we deceive ourselves? Why should we let this indiscriminate use of poisons continue, when laws can be enacted to regulate them? Give us light wines, give us our beer, and give us local option in the several states. This is Americanism, according to the books. Leagues, Courts, Immigration, Tariff, Tax, and what not, are poor issues besides the longings and thirsts of the people.
At the Pen
THE PITTSBURGH COURIER carried exclusively in its last issue a most revolting story of alleged conditions at the Western Penitentiary, located within the limits of the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. We have never seen any story to equal the one referred to, and we hope never to see another coming from any American institution supported by the American people.
The Courier is aware of the primary object of prisons and prison fare. We understand perfectly that prison life is supposed to afford punishment. Criminals, or rather, persons convicted of crime, are sent to penal institutions for the purpose of punishing them, and serving notice on others. No one expects to find first class fare at a penal institution where punishment is supposed to be inflicted by hard labor and confinement.
But on the other hand, civilization created these penal institutions, and they are supposed to represent the civilized notion of punishment. They are supposed to be managed and operated in keeping with human conceptions of humane treatment of human beings, who, in spite of their indiscretions, are, nevertheless, worth saving and helping. There is much that is good in the worst of us, and it is upon this theory that men seek to save other men rather than destroy them.
If this State of Pennsylvania is any better than Florida, with its inhuman whipping masters, if Pennsylvania deserves its front rank position in the march of reform and civic bottomment, there ought to be some investigation into the alleged atrocities committed inside the walls of the Western Penitentiary. Pennsylvania can not hope to rise higher than the citizens who have made possible the accusations made in the recent story published exclusively in The Courier. If we are supporting any institutions of any

character where the slightest violations of civilized society are tolerated under the false guise of discipline, then the people are being deceived by their servants, and a change is necessary at once.
With the public put on notice of the alleged conditions at the Western Penitentiary, we can not see how some kind of an investigation can be avoided. Let it come.
THE Legislature has passed, and Governor Pinchot has signed, what may prove to be the leading piece of legislation enacted during the recent session. We refer to the law regulating and protecting motor traffic on our state highways.
The next step of importance is the organization of the force of officers whose duties it will be to see that the law is obeyed to the letter. Of course, the people who use the highways will have to lend themselves to a proper enforcement of the law. It is proposed to place officers in uniform, and on motorcycles, along the highways, with instructions covering every emergency. We hope this is true.
Certainly the Highway Department understands that the people pay the bills in the final analysis, and the people should have some protection at the hands of the officers who are placed in charge of the various highways. It is quite in keeping with expectations that officers see that the roads are respected by tourists and motorists. It is highly important, also, that the tourists and the motorists are protected by the same officers. Infractions are certain to arise. Violations are provided for in the act. But there is a decent, civilized method of dealing with criminals, and certainly citizens who violate some regulation have a right to be treated as citizens. Officers are not instructed enough in this particular.
Then, too, motorists all over the country are complaining against thugs, crooks, thieves, false officers, and gangs who make motoring a dangerous past time. Our law provides for officers who can and should afford the tourist every protection while on the highway. Highwaymen ought to find business exceedingly difficult in Pennsylvania; and it is hoped the Department will advise the officers that the people are worthy of as much attention; at least, as the roads. We shall see.
Among the members of the legal profession there is a piece of philosophy which runs: "The man who acts as his own lawyer, has a fool for a client." Perhaps Garvey knew little or nothing of this very true saying, and, in his haste to demonstrate his native "smartness," he dismissed his counsel and took personal charge of the conduct of his case. The jury convicted him. At least, he has no criticism of his "lawyer," nor can he say he was not given the widest opportunity to "put in" his case. Perhaps, the legal fraternity is the better paid that Garvey and his followers have no lawyers to "blame" for the verdict.
Now that the verdict of guilty has been reached, and after Garvey had been given ample opportunity to offer everything he had in his own behalf, some comment on the "system" may be opportune.
If Garvey conducted his business as he did his trial, there is little wonder that it failed. He showed all through the trial that he was simply consumed with his own importance. This native big-headedness spelled the ruin of his gigantic scheme. There was too much Garvey, with little or no respect for the opinions of others. He was the supreme head of all thought, every idea, and every suggestion. It was Garvey's scheme, Garvey's system of operation, Garvey's supreme domination of every phase of the program; it was Garvey's crime, Garvey's case, Garvey's counsel during the trial, and Garvey's conviction.
Surely, Mr. Garvey has no complaint that he and his scheme were embarrassed by the ideas or counsel of any outsider. It was all Garvey at the beginning; and the end has come with Garvey still at the undisputed head of the Garvey Spasm.
And the money, did you say? The answer is simply — Garvey.
The State Legislature of West Virginia has just appropriated a half million dollars for Negro education at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. Of the half million, $250,000 is to be spent for buildings and land. The rest is to be devoted to salaries for teachers, repairs and current expenses.
West Virginia is the state where Negroes vote the democratic ticket now and then, and they make no secret of their partisan loyalty. We have noted, with some interest, how this state has increased its appropriations from year to year for better educational facilities for all alike. And now this appropriation for a strictly Negro institution is to be added to the already commendable record of the state. There is a reason.
We recall that the only appointment made by President Harding which rises to the dignity of Federal Office was given to Mr. Free from West Virginia. There is evidently a bidding for the Negro vote in West Virginia. Perhaps, before w rush into another national campaign, we should be acquainted with the methods employed by our brethren in West Virginia.

WHAT THEY SAID LAST WEEK
We found this one in THE FREEMAN, Indianapolis, and pass it on for the good it is most certain to do:
THE QUESTION OF SUPREMACY
If the white man had the good sense to read the handwriting on the wall to wit: That the only supremacy that is going to stand the test is the supremacy of the moral order and of helpful service and would bend his energies towards being forever supreme in that realm, he would doubtless go on lending the world in the noblest sort of progress. Nor would he fear that his leadership would be objectionable to the other races. Certainly there would be no tenable objections.
Now instead of the white man seeking to be worthy of supremacy, he spends much of his time asserting white supremacy, oppressing weaker peoples, vaunting himself as necessarily supreme, creating disgust and hate in the hearts of other races by his arrogance, brutality, and nasty antics in general. In other words, he proposes to intimidate his way up the centuries. To that extent he subservient and commanded. He will idolize this idiotic notion of white supremacy and make it determine his religion, his education, his social obligation, his government.
He will fail not because he is white, but because of a false standard and false methods. He doesn't have to fail. Indeed no fair minded man wants him or any other group to fail. What the world wants and eventually will have is peace, brotherhood, and fair play. If the white man can beat the world in these things, humanity of all races will crown him king. If he is inferior in these and kindred things, he shall have to give place to a better man. The world wants the best under whatever skin it may be covered. Who cares? This nonsense about the superiority of races should cease. The divine right of color must go to the scrap heap with all the other "divine" junk. The future race will stand or fall on its ability, moral character and service to humanity and not on color.
THE MORNING HERALD, white, Durham, N. C., offers us some advice on the subject of voting. It says:
The Negro race, acting as a unit in politics, is a detriment to its own progress and the progress of the political party it espouses. The thing for the Negro to do is to get out of politics as a body, and vote for men and measures regardless of partisanship. The Negro will never be able to put over special legislation as a race, and will never be allowed to speak whatever relief rightly belongs to it, through one of the old parties. In some counties, in some states, it may be to the best interest of the community for the Negro to vote the Republican ticket; in others it will probably be for the public good to support the Democratic
The Negro should quit voting as a race and for special favors. He must take a broader view of politics, and submerge racial demands into the demands for the common good of all the people. When the Negro does that; when he works for his community regardless of race or color, then he will begin to take a stand as a citizen and be able to wield an influence of substantial proportions. But when he brings out racial issues, he is lost, and cannot hope to gain a hearing. He should beware of the politician hunting votes. It is easy to promise, but mighty hard to get those promises fulfilled after the votes are counted.
This advice is in line with what President Harding said in his now famous southern address; and the Negroes in New York, Baltimore, Wilmington and Chicago took him seriously and did it. Not bad advice, it seems.
The Detroit Independent has the right idea, when it comes to deportment of our group in public places, and on Common Carriers. We count the following highly suggestive in the right direction, and applicable in every big town we ever visited:
Did you ever notice that you are being crowded (and so is the other fellow) in the street cars by men who are too indolent to change their dirty, vile smelling working clothes as they return from labor and ride the cars, and that they poke out their lips and push down in the seats besides cleanly dressed people when they might have easily changed their garb upon the works—just as you and I have often done?
The brother from the South is with us, and we must tell him how we do things here, and if he insists upon his dirty habits, his loud noise, his Saturday-night-bath-only, then he will have to be shaken up a little for the common good.

As a high powered publicity man for the N. A. A. C. P., that fellow Dyer is making Dean Pickens look like a Fliver.
The Chicago Whip has started another "buzz" all over the country. This time the "whip" struck Hampton and Tuskegee. Some anonymous writer tried to defend Hampton in a letter which The New York News published, in spite of the request by the writer not to do so.
We could tell something about the application of Virginius Johnson, a graduate of Northwestern University. He is the son of the former President of Old V. N. and L. I., at Petersburg, Va. This man was highly recommended, but the way he was refused by Hampton would make interesting reading. He simply wanted to be employed at Hampton, but "nothing doing" was the sign they hung up in his face.

Silence That Is Golden
To some persons to say that a person is noisy is just another way of saying that he is illbred. Noisiness goes hand in hand, with bad breeding, and it really seems as if one of the things that mankind acquires as he achieves civilization is a degree of silence, or at least he

Those Wounds We Might Have Healed
One of the keenest regrets, even they hight-have relieved but the poverty they might start to rated but did not; the law they might have helped but they passed by encouraging, courageed by might have and encouraged, but to which did not speak the comfort
One of the keenest regrets, even of the most successful lives, as they look back over their careers, is that they had not healed the wounds they might have healed; had not helped the people they might have helped; had performed the many deeds of kindness they might have performed as they went way through the world. Even the most kind-hearted do not escape the stings of remorse when they review their lives, and realize the suffering
If instead of signing to the things in some indefinite form should come to all the little things come to us every day if we take advantage of the innermost daily opportunities to speak to smile, to be courteous to helping hand, to what beautiful sisters we would build; how we would add to the world's best and welfare; how much we add to our own!
