I am building a monument, to John T. Gibson, but to the Negro race. I am trying to show the world that a Negro can be just as successful in business as a white man. "When I first started in the show business and had a little auditorium, where I packed them in, I might have been satisfied, but I was not. I wanted my people to have something better. So, instead of buying an automobile in those days of seeming profane, I saved my money. With the opportunity came my business. My business I was ready to grasp it. Always the thought behind my actions was, 'I am a Negro; I am building for my race.' "Honors have come to me, of course, but I am not simple enough to think it is because I am Gibson. I am because I represent it. It used to be said, academically, that knowledge was power. Nowadays money is power and for that reason I get considerations of the ordinary. And now I am proud to be taught, that if we have money we have the key which unlocks all mortal doors. Look at what the Jews have done with money! I have a wonderful estate. Meaning: Why? That my people may be represented among the landed gentry of the countryside; that they may visit it and look upon it as their's, not Gibson's. (Continued on Page 16, Col. 6.) FRANCE BUILDS FUTURE ON COLORED CITIZENS HUSBAND SLAYS 'LOVE-THIEF' Night Riders Shoot Up Town Backs Up Gen. Mangin Idea Recent Action on Tourist Problem and Film Production Show-Trend to Use 60,000,000 Natives. PARIS-Sept. 6—The development and utilization of the 60,000,000 Negroes in its colonies is France's logical means of self-preservation, according to Gen. Mangin, in a recent speech at Borstburg following a review of colored troops in Alsace. "France is not a nation of 39,000,000," Gen. Mangin says, "she is a power, the power of the people that, the Senegalese, are no longer on the Rhine, and it is probable that the violent campaign in the Germanic press and the insidious campaign in the press of certain other countries is guided by the same power, the power of becoming a part of the homeland, thus augmenting the power and expansion of France in the world. Million for War "If before the war my viewpoint had been accepted, France would have had 1,000,000, instead of 180,000blacks fighting on the western front, and the war was a worse, more quickly and under circumstances." The French Government in a recent series of articles has championed its colored citizens. It issued an official communique. warning foreigner not to resent the presence of colored citizens in hostels withdrawing the license of a Montmarte establishment for ejecting colored citizens and prohibiting the film"The Birth of a Nation" because it was offensive to the colored people. This indicates the presence of opposed German Mangin's ideas for strengthening France through the absorption and employ of natives from the colonies. Three Paths for France The Mangin, school lays down there alternatives: for France with its falling birth rate to survive against the increasing population of Germany.

(Special to The Pittsburgh Courier) SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 6. Southern mobius and flanking defiance of the laws of this country resulted in a wholesale shooting bee here last week, when a group of more than 75 white men, unmasked, rushed through Savannah, carried out the killing of three firefighters into more than a zone of homes terrorizing the city. called the attack upon the settlement was wholly without cause, nor as the police are able to determine, and the engines are able to rowide their chief aim is to create and intensify, the bitter feeling already in evidence between the races. According to residents, a number of high-powered cars, traveling at tremendous speed, and with cut-outs, open hoods, shimming whistles, shortly before dawn Monday morning, firing and yelling as they went. Residents of the village, taken entirely by surprise had hardly become awakened before the mad dash had ceased. But in the wake of the dash had been spread. When a check-up proved that one man had been killed and others wounded, the women and children were sent to the cellars of the homes, while the men determinedly took their stand outward, awaiting any further disturbance. Poll answering a riot call found nothing but a number of shattered windows standing as silent testimony to the invasion of the foe. The suburb was quiet early Monday, the police expressed the belief that there was little danger of retaliation. One Man Arrested An investigation was immediately ordered, with the result that C. O. Moore was arrested in connection with the death of Monroe. Other arrests are expected to follow. Oklahoma Is Again Under Martial Law TULSA, Okla., Sept. 6—Martial law in its harshest form struck down on Tulsa county Saturday to stamp out mob activities and bring to justice those responsible for numerous floggings in the last two years. Under a proclamation issued by Governor Greg Abbott, the insurrection was superseded by the military and the right to the writ of habeas corpus is suspended. Military rule followed a visit to the Governor's office of O. White, a place marmor at his home near Okmulgm. early last Sunday morning. In a sworn statement, White said that he recognized three of his assailants, and the other were county sheriff. The others were citizens of the town.

(Pittsburgh Courier Service Special) Wilmington, North Carolina, has set a most wholesome example for the whole South by her recent adoption of a program of inducement to the plight of the annual program of force to keep the Negro South. The whole state is in sympathy with the new idea, and the best whites and blacks have agreed that migration can be stopped by the South. It is also true that the migration is the cause of improper treatment toward the migrants. Indeed, North Carolina is the one southern state where the races live under a workable understanding. Lawlessness, crime, manhood and sexuality are less general in North Carolina than in any other southern state. As a part of the program of "inducement rather than force", the races at Wilmington have agreed to allow a new and a living opportunity shall be given the Negro who loves law, order and progress. There are a few leading white men in Wilmington who are not afraid to accord the Negro a fair chance. The response to Negro was instant and most sincere. Whole Sea Beach Provided One of the most convincing pieces of evidence of good faith was the opening of Shell Island Beach, just out of Wilmington. This is the coming Atlantic City of the South. The beach is a million-seated 5,000, with hotel accommodations on the third floor. It has a beach front of two miles. A hotel proper is in contemplation. The island is ruled by Negro officiates. The city is to show themselves friends of law and order among their own people. This is considered an excellent beginning of the education of law enforcement, ought to impact law and organized government. The beach was officially opened May 30, with Dr. R. Spiller as principal speaker. The promoters include such men of Parmelie, Thes. H. Wright, J. Allen Taylor, W. H. Sprunt and Robert Continued on Page 16, Col. 3.) Aged Women Will All To Southern Friends GREENSBORO, Ala., Sept. 6—An incident occurred in Greenboro last week, which accentuates anew the friendly feeling between the races in some sections of the south. Two old women, former slaves, willed all their money to former employers as an expression of their gratitude for kindness and good treatment during an association of some 30 years. Man Finds Wife Shot; Two Slain Unknown Killer Sought in Chicago's Latest Murder Mystery—No Clues. CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 6. — The city's justly famous "black belt" felt the relentless and revengeful hand of a silent terror here Saturday, following the finding of the dead bodies of Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Owens and his pretty 22-year-old wife, and the seriously wounded form of Mr. Rashee Robbins in the home of his peppery, passionate love, which turned him into a monster. The mind of the alleged murderer became a memorial to his wife. Ramona Hines Dose The near triple tragedy was closed Saturday when Joseph Kobina, husband of the wounded woman, returned home 65 and Owens and his wife dead, and Mrs. Robbins unconscious from loss of blood. The two families lived in the same apartment, and their vivacity had made her a central figure in Chicago society. Just what the 'real' cause of the shooting was may forever remain a mystery, both husband and wife, unless, the 'mad man' lover is apprehended. No Guns in Home No guns were found in the home when the Cottage Grove Avenue police arrived, and this mysterious element but served to strengthen the theory that a former admirer fired the fatal shots and then made his way to the house, tried to kill Mrs. Robbins, in order that all evidence would be swept aside at one time. In addition to the fact that no gun was found, it was discovered that all the entrances to the house with the exception of one window, were locked. The police took Mrs. Robbins to the Wesley Memorial Hospital. It was said there that her condition is still serious. Robbins was taken to the Cottage Grove Avenue police station, where he was thrown light on the murder or a clew to the identity of the slayer. NEW ERA DAWNS FOR K. OF P.

Ethiopia will be asked to consent to the total abolition of slavery in her territory. NOT FUNNY As Yet He Is Offered Nothing But Noise by Promising Politicians. In a few more days the voters will be allowed to speak. Just now, they must listen to the noise given out by the campaign managers. The candidates themselves are "knowing by the people than they ever knew before or will ever know again after their election—if they are elected. The Negroes of the city and county have been through the mill so much, and have listened to so many promises and have seen so many things that they have become hardened to this battle of words. Words mean nothing when spoken by political henchmen "before the election." Negroes ought to see Shuffle Along or fall for the hunk" offered to them by the henchmen. Money ought to be handed back to every candidate, or to every henchman. Negroes MUST VOTE for MEN—the right man, not the left, a lot of Kluxers, traitors and promise-breakers. And there are some men on the tickets who deserve the vote of every honorable city of this great country. There are some—but not all, we ought to have one. It ought not matter on what ticket we find these worthy ones. The fight is between two factions of WHITE MEN and WOMEN. We are no part of the factions, we were not consulted by either faction, nor did we expect for all kinds of men because we have no better sense. Not so. Already, signs of wild enthusiasm are to be seen. Some of the organizations in our city have endorsed a whole ticket, Klu Kluzers and all. We do not understand how some of the organizations, Mrs. J. O. Miller, who in Harrisburg, took a white shirt by the coat collar and told him not to even talk to the colored womens about the Asbury Bill. We have the statement of one of our good women for the information we have forgotten this insult to them, and are swallowing Mrs. J. O. Miller, hook, line and sinker, and get mad with the men if they don't do likewise. The men are not so swift in falling into line, but they have been in politics all their lives, and know what to expect. Our women—a few of them—have graduated in four years, and know the game so well they never stop to ask why, or where there is utter failure awaiting them. Said, but true, and we will have to let the good women get their dose of bitter experience before they can learn. It is said. The idea of endorsing a whole ticket! Where did our factorial friend endorsing our Harrisburg for swallowing "whole ticket!" They left us, and disgusted us without help. They could have saved our faces and our rights, but they left us to Gun Play Puts Tragic End To Illicit Romance Wife Flees Wrath of Mate. (Special to The Pittsburgh Courant) PINE BLUFF, Ark., Sept. 6. Another eternal triangle was "solved" Monday, when James Charles, aged 40, shot and killed Carl Simmons, also aged 40, in the station at Gould. For months residents of the community had heard the rumor concerning the romance of Mrs. Charles and Simmons, knowing that it was inevitable that the husband would some day learn of his wife's duplicity. Chances had connected all the persons to North, where the victim was present, to North, where the victim was present, with a small child standing on the station platform. Like a madman, he leaped from the train and fired two shots at Simons, one striking him in the head and the other in the arm. The parachute train and escaped, Charles jumped four shots after her fleeing form. Charles seized the child, whom the woman had deserted in her dark satire, and fled. She was arrested upon arrival of the train and turned over to Lincoln County authorities and placed in jail at Star City. Charles was arrested later at the home of his brother, 10 miles west of Gould, by Sheriff Will Flah, and placed in jail. The wife denies the elopement, it is said, and declares that she was leaving Charles and met Simmons by "accident." BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 6- Jill Rice, who was sentenced to serve from one to twenty years Thursday for killing his wife on March 11 was recalled into court by Judge Robert LeBond, Friday, and his suspicion "that they may account of your age, and partly on account of your family, in no way excluding the crime y-u committee," said the Judge. In order to frighten some Garneres away from Samuel H. Gardner, candidate to succeed himself as district attorney, some mischief-making people are talking Negroes out in Bellevue that Mr. Gardner is a Ku Kluxer. This is about the biggest political issue in the state and today. We may expect many more before voting day, but this fish story on Mr. Gardner is the biggest one unscored so far. Mr. Gardner and Daniel Winters are the leading men in the fight against the ticket today. Mr. Courier will publish next week a ticket which will be free from Ku Kluxa. A ticket any man or woman can vote for and not be made ashamed the next day, or the next year. We are looking for men, not tickets. the mercy, of the Ku Kluxa are theirs, now so many of our men we blush to say it have endorsed a "whole ticket." The man will have to save the situation. The reason we are: looked upon as much merchandise is because we forget so soon any insult or injury; can never be single right. We ought to be honest with the whites and true to ourselves. We may be in the sunshine of popularity for a day, but death is just ahead of us, if we lose in the wrong direction. William Bentley, Who Slew Robert Shields in Wife's Apartment, Sues for Absolute Divorce. Spouse Seeks Separation. Special to The Pittsburgh Courier NEW YORK, Sept. 6. — William Bentley, who shot and killed Robert Shields December 24, 1922, in the apartment of his wife, Mrs. Edna Bentley, 47 West 139th street, has hrought suit in the Supreme Court for a divorce. Mrs. Bentley presented counter claims for a separation. / Her motion for allomony was denied, although Justice Lydon granted her a $50 counsel fee. In his andavit, Bentley admits he shat and killed Shields, who died 20 minutes after the shooting. He says he went to the apartment on the morning of the fatal shooting to bid him a "Merry Christmas," and that Chelsea leaped when he walked into his bedroom, brandishing a large "hookill" knife. "I shot him in self-defense," declares Bent- Mrs. Bentley, in her affidavit, takes strong exception to her husband's claim of self-defense and further declares that she can prove by several witnesses that Shields was fully clothed when he was shot. Bentley alleges his wife admitted, after the shooting, to Policeman Emanuel Cline, of the 38th precinct, that she was "living a meretricious life" with Shields. Bentley assured Justice Lydon in his affidavit that he will be able to produce witnesses at the trial of the divorce action to prove his contention that Shields and his wife were occupants of the same apartment for several weeks between August 1 and the day of the shooting, and their relations were not innocent. Considerable discrepancy appears in the affidavits as to Bentley's financial condition. His wife says he had a former saloon at 168 West 132d street, that he has an interest in a cigar store at 650 Lenox avenue, and has an income from the latter of $60 to $70 a week. Bentley declares that he is "down and out," had to pawn his jewelry, and that his presence at the 650 Lenox avenue is explained by the fact that he is secretary of a social club with rooms in the building. He said he is undergoing medical treatment for high blood pressure. Lots Were Named After Douglass, But Whites Sue Lots Were Named After Douglass, But Whites Sue **ARLINGTON, Va.**, Sept. 6.—Suit has been filed in the circuit court of Arlington county asking for damages or other redress for the sale of its in the original Dillon County unglass Park, to permeate Nero blond. "It is said that the tract was deeded to the Washington Development Corporation, and this concern, it is alleged sold several lots to Negroes and named the tract after a famous Negro, Frederick Douglass.

S. H. Thompson, president of the development corporation, declared that the corporation had never had any legal dealings with Mr. and Mrs. Richmond. It is said that when Hunter had conveyed lots to the development corporation he had asked that the provision barring out employees of Negro blood be inserted. This, it was said, was refused by the development corporation, which did not buy the lots subject to that stipulation.

LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 6—At a banquet Monday evening, August 27, given in honor of Attorney William Clarence Matthews of Boston, and Lester A. Walton of New York. Mr. Matthews told a group of representative Negro citizens that the appointment of Bassom Slemp of Virginia as secretary to President Coolidge should in no sense be construed as a slap at colored voters. "I have had the privilege of knowing Mr. Coolidge for many years. We are fellow citizens of the great State of Massachusetts," declared Mr. Matthews. "The President's record for fair play is well-known. He believes in law enforcement, and the Negroes of this country may rest assured Mr. Coolidge will not subscribe to any campaign to foster the ends. In his speech as acceptance for the candidate, he is Republican Candidate for the Weis presidency, Calvin Coolidge voluntarily inserted a frank statement demanding justice for the colored American. That he will swerve from lifelong convictions at this time is inconceivable and unbelievable." The banquet was given by the local Negro Bar Association. Freeman L. Martin, President, acted as toastmaster. Women Taking Initiative To Stop Lynching Women Taking Initiative To Stop Lynching KANSAS CITY, Kan., Sept. 6. Mrs. Thomas W. Bickett, widow of Governor Bickett, of North Carolina, speaking at the sessions of the race relations conference being held here by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People told of the history and work of the Interracial Committees throughout the South, in stamping out mobs and, lynching and bringing about better relations between colored and white people. Mrs. Bickett appeared at the race relations conference as a representative of the Inter-racial Committees of whose Woman's Committee she is chairman. Her address was as follows: "As a member of the Commission on Inter-Racial Co-Operation and as Chairman of the Women's Committee of the Commission it gives me the present to the National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People a brief history of the formation and work of this Commission. "Shortly after the Armistice distrust and suspicion fanned by propaganda of various sorts seemed abroad in our land and mob violence, which had greatly decreased during the war, broke out afresh. It was in this crisis that the Commission on Inter-Racial Co-Operation came into existence. At the center of this group were John J. Eagan, manufacturer and churchman; Rev. W. W. Alexander, Y. M. C. A. W. representative, and Dr. N. Ashby Jones, minister of Atlanta. Of the thought and prayer of such men, others equally consecrated the Commission was born. Its membership was made up of educators, ministers, professionals and business men from every state in the South, including many prominent Negroes. State committees were organized, especially where the situation was acute and with the co-operation of the Y. M. C. A. machinery and financed by the War Work Council. Better feeling immediately became, noticeable and having proved its efficacy in this crisis the Commission determined to enlarge its sphere and seek to per- New York Executive First To O.K. Governor's Confab To Stamp Out 'Lynch Law' NEW YORK Sept. 6. GOVERNOR "Al" Smith of York, prominently mentioned as Democratic Candidate for President of the United States, because of his bold and uncompromising stand against the Ku Klux Klan, and his fight for personal liberties and "rights", of all citizens made the following comment on the proposed Governors' Conference, to abolish lynching, which is being sponsored by Congressman Gordell Hull, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Senator Wm. Cabell Bruce, of Maryland: "Every red-blooded American re- momentarily improve access to confines and put them upon a Christian basis. "To this end committees have been set up in every state and eight hundred counties. Threatened lynchings and riots have been prevented, injustices have been corrected, co-operation for mutual welfare has been brought about and more friendly relations established especially in communities where conditions were critical. "An interesting recent development is the enlisting of leading women of the South to co-operate with the various state committees and to promote the study of this question in their civil and religious organizations. In every case the women have made strong pronouncements against mob violence and in favor of justice to the Negro, especially the Negro women and children. The personnel of the committee has increased from forty men to over a hundred and fifty men and women, a large number of these belonging to the Negro race and who contribute largely to the councils of the Commission. "We are a long, long way from solving the race problem in the South, but we have made a hopeful beginning. As interested, thoughtful, white men and women we are seeking through our civic and religious organizations to meet in a spirit of co-operation the leading men and women of the Negro race in the community in which we live. We are co-operating in a study of Negro community life, in housing and sanitation, better neighborhood conditions, educational opportunities and the needs of Negro women and children, especially. We are ing increasingly conscious of the fact that as those authority, our responsibility towards the Negro cannot be headed and many of our people be going forward with a definite intention that no unfair advantage shall be taken of the Negro, but that he shall receive justice and fair treatment, which is his due, and which we cannot withhold if we wish to retain our self respect. "Above all, through this Commission we are seeking to bring about a better understanding and a greater helpfulness of the races, one to the help, and as individuals and a Commission to put into practice the words of Him, who said, 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them.'" White Man Arrested In Death of Fla. Man OCALA, Fla., Sept. 6.—(By A. N. P.)-H. G. Fuller, a white man, was arrested and held without bail for the killing of a Negro taxi driver last Thursday night. The body of the dead man was discovered in a lonely spot outside the city limits. Fuller denies guilt in the matter. The police assert that they have conclusive evidence that he killed the Negro.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 6.—(By A. N. P.) — That the United States government is able to protect all of its employees and has the disposition to do so is the burden of a letter received by Mrs. Otto J. Deeds, white, of. this city, from Postmaster General Harry S. New. Mrs. Deeds objected to having a colored man deliver her mail and when the local postmaster refused to remove the carrier from his route, she wrote General New, threatening a injury to the carrier, the white man was not placed on the district. General New, letter has won general satisfaction from both white and colored people, not only in this state from which he halls, but from all over the country. The letter follows: "My dear Madam:—Your letter of July 23, complaining that a colored man is serving as mail carrier on the route on which you happen to live in Indianapolis, has been brought to my attention. I note your complaints and your implied threats directed against this man.

MAMMOTH PRODUCTION COMING Opening to record - breaking crowds and bidding to outrival all new movie houses in the Hill District for popularity, the New Elmore Theater broke through to an auspicious first day here Monday afternoon. With moving pictures of the highest type, and with a manager who has already expressed himself as superior than willing to do all in his power to satisfy his patrons, the new playhouse leaped into an ever-growing prominence on its first day, and that prominence and popularity has already grown to such an extent that the by-word along the avenue is "What's at the New Elmore to-morning?" A place of marvelous beauty, both inside and out, with the very best of architectural construction, this new "place of pleasure," erected at a cost of $150,000, has a seating capacity of more than 1,000 people and a pipe organ valued at $10,000. B. Engelberg is the manager of the theater and a Courier reporter did not have to take his word to be convinced that the new showhouse is the most beautiful in the city, out of the downtown district. Moreover, Mr. Engelberg informed us that the very latest in ventilating systems has been installed and that there is none finer in the country.

Friday, "The Rapids," an Earnest Shipman story, starring Harry Morye and Mary Astor, is on the bill. In this picture you have more than just thrills and action. You have one of the strongest heart-touching stories seen for many a day. This comprises a lonely man's love and "motherly" tenderness for the little baby rescued from the rapids. The story is a super-battle between honor and greatness against the avarice and greed of big business. The couple are supported by an all-star cost. Saturday, "A Real Adventure" is on the bill. This show is one of the most powerful on the screen and is one Pittsburghers have long been wating for. A complete writeup of "Main Street" will be published in another part of this paper.

The session being one of the best over held in the State, it was well attended by Sir Knights from Pittsburgh. The following Sir Knights from Pittsburgh elected to offices in the Grand Commandery were Sirs Edward W. Bishop, Most Eminent Grand Commander of the State, Robert J. Smith, Eminent Grand Generalissimo; William M. King, Eminent Grand Senior Warden; David D. Riehards, Eminent Grand Prelate. The next Grand Conclave will be held in Pittsburgh in August, 1824.

He has during these four years lived in small towns and in Minnesota, Montana, California, Ohio and on Capo Cod; in the cities of Seattle, San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Washington, New York. All this time he has definitely been making plans and notes for "Main Street." Mr. Lewis' conclusions are likely to arouse both wide approval and wide antagonism. He concludes that all our American life is threatened by a coma of respectable mediocrity; that we have shut our eyes to the eager thoughts running through Europe; that our self-satisfaction is a dangerous drug; that for all our proud "boosting," the typical Main Street town is in danger, and that in each town there are a few people who—often unconcerned with everything about beauty which is at once dramatic and incomparably more important than any of the melodramatic struggles of war and finance at any psychic mysteries.

The rank and file of those who visited the last K. of P. encampment will voice my sentiment as to New York's not being a place for a convention. Although the K. of P.'s held one of the largest demonstrations that any fraternal organization of our group ever held, I am afraid that it failed very much in hitting its extended mark. The people of that Metropolis seemed to me to be more socially inclined than fraternally. Although there were throngs of people who lined the streets during the grader's parade in the formal parade on Friday, when the hosts of uniformed men keeping step to the music of a dozen or more bands' swinging into Fifth Avenue, there seemed to be the lack of enthusiasm that has been accorded such demonstrations of similar kinds of others that we have visited—yet we hope that it "hit the mark" intended. The camp life staged by the uniform rank has become the light of our organization. Wherever we have held our encampments, the city with its neat trim and well-kent tent homes, as well as the beautiful avenues, and streets that this camping city afforded, was well worth the price of admission to see, where hundreds and thousands of persons in other cities where we have held our sessions would crowd each day, was lacking in this large city. They did not seem to appreciate the wealth of people. However, this is now of the past. We can look forward to another Supreme Lodge and encampment, where, although in a southern city, Louisville, Ky, will get due recognition from the white daily newspapers of that city in contrast to the silence of large dailies of New York. On Thursday evening, Aug. 23d, the much-heralded and despised Ku Klux Klan, staged a play much to the disgust of the visiting. Sir Knights and friends by raising and burning a cross on the parade grounds overlooking the camp. I presume this senseless mob who pass as 100 per cent Americans, but who are more like 1000 per cent criminals, thought that they could scare meone, but they reckoned without their host, and if they had been caught it would have been another case of large headline for the newspapers. These people who came to New York, attending their own affairs, yet that dastardly outrageous bunch of business pups had the nerve to stage their criminal actions on'a people who were there strictly attending to their own business. Asst. Inspector Gen. T. H. Fletcher, who is under inspection; Gen. G. A. Nevel, who was unable to attend the session owing to his long illness, arrived in camp too late to inspect the several brigades. The question was asked, why Brigade Gen. R. R.

(Special to The Pittsburgh Courier) CHICAGO, Sept. 6—The Elks' convention in Chicago was the greatest in the history of the order, according to expressions from officials and leading members who have been in attendance-from the beginning of the organization.

Miss Carthenia Watson, Miss Geneva Johnson, Norman Hardy, Paul Banks and Joseph Brown are taking leading roles. How To Arrange Flowers There is a fashion in arranging flowers as well as a fashion in clothes. Grandmother used to have marigolds still arranged in tall glass vases which had scarcely enough bore for the stems to enter and hardly enough room left for moer than a drop of water. The poor things soon wilted and the vase would be taken from the center of the table and more unfortunate plucked from the dear old-fashioned garden where they grew in profusion. Now we have learned the beautiful touch which lies in one blossom, excelling that of a dozen blossoms planted awhomely in one narrow receptacle. One rose in a low black a few pansies in a simple flat dish will give a more harmonious effect than a dozen roses doomed to stand upright in an uncomfortable vase. When you desire the effect of something daimity and delicate gather just one or two of the paleest pink roses, a few marguerites spray of baby's breath into a glass vase which has bore enough to allow the stems to stand uncrowded and a flare at the top which will give the flowers a graceful drooping appearance. The wider the vase is at the top the more grace you can effect. A mass of soft garden or tea roses looks very attractive clustered in a wide glass bowl and allowed to fall nonchalantly over the sides. Suppose that one corner of your living room is rather dark; take a bowl of any sort of blue pottery and gather, for it a handful of burnt-orange nasturtiums and put them on a little table in the gloom. You will be surprised to see how the gloom lifts and brightens. It is almost impossible to get anything but a pretty cinnamon with a nigee nasturtium, indeed like a basket, short-stemmed roses, violets, nasturtiums, indeed any flowers with short, pliant stems will drape themselves daintly around the handle. A basket of Ophelia roses placed with a few terms in such a vase before the oblong mirror in your front hall gives a charming effect. Carnations are perhaps more difficult to manage than roses because of their somewhat brittle stems, which will insist on bending a trifle. Cut-glass vases seem to adapt themselves to this flower better than any other style unless it is receptacles of some green transparent ware. Foliage or greenery is essential with carnations.

Society Smiles On Tennis Finals CHICAGO, Sept. 8—The week of the National Championships of the American Tennis Association was a gala and novel social triumph aside from the sparkling tennis of the entrants from twenty-one states. Imagine the right dignified editor of the "World's Greatest-Weekly" crawling through a four-foot opening in order to congratulate the champion, after sitting tight from 10. A. M. until nearly 5 P. M., or picture the rotund president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company mounting the stand to his seat on the top row one foot a time. Saturday, the day of the finals, came with a flood of sunshine, after four days of scintillating tennis, with only a minimum of upsets. The center court of the Prairie Tennis Club lacked only the presence of the king himself to have rivalled or bested the traditions of ancient Wimbledon. The queens were there in myriad numbers, with the distinctive and incomparable beauty that only many shades and colors lend. The crowd was the largest, the most enthusiastic, yet sportsmanlike fans even before gathered to see it. The courts were the tennis supremacy, both in Men's and Women's events. The courts were completely surrounded by eager-faces and the late arrivals gazed from the neighbors' apartments until it looked like the very air contained human onlookers. Of the 112 men to start Monday, Saturday afternoon, only two remained. E. Salch, the New York City Champion, and myself, each out to win and to demonstrate the triumph of "the best two out of three meetings." Among the women's entrants, only Miss Isadore-Channels, of Chicago, and Mrs. Lottie Wade, of New York, survived. The rivalry between the East and the West seemed to be smouldering in articulately, in the minds of all those fans. The stands held the best minds and the social satellites of nearly all America's leading colored citizens. In the officials' box were Dr. H. S. McCard, Attorney William McGard, Dr. William Wright, Professor Ralph Cook, Dr. B. M. Rhetta and families, the Wharton sisters, and Miss Nellie Nicholson, all of Baltimore; Dr. Howard Smith and wife, with their protege, little Miss McCampbell, of Kansas City; Dr. D. Inversion Hoage and family, Julius Ranisford and Detective Battles, of New York; Miss Junior, of Philadelphia; Dr. Horner-Wilburn and family, Dr. N. A. Diggs, Mrs. O. Seams, Dr. Kennedy, A. L. Jackson, Robt. S. Dr. Ugel Turpin, Dr. Geo C. Hall, Ellis Stewart, Jones, Frank Gillespie and a host of Chicago's "400" including the most recent debutante, Dorothy Jennings, and her grandmother, Mrs. Smith. St. Louis was intact near the press box with an ardent and sweet quitter of ladies, including the Misses Larry Cillemos, B. Hudlin and a score of other fair ones, including teachers and social leaders. Not one, however, was more interested in spite of several old school friendships from W. A. Files, director of physical education in St. Louis, and the man who taught the game of tennis to the present National Champion. Indianapolis led the applause for the West with such a valiant and stalwart of many president campaigns as our own Henry Flemmings, ably assisted by our friends Wall, Martin brothers, Thomas, Doctors Cable and Batties, Irvin Armstrong, Smith Hawkins, Willis, Hazard Hampton, Professor Hayes, and, of course, the most popular visitors in Chicago, when here and New York when there, or any other cities for that matter, Indianapolis' most adored Misses Selma. Beck, Hazel Alder, Mrs. Madelin McCall, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Batties, Mrs. Martin and Miss Iden Givens', of Evansville, Ind. Kansas City was well represented in addition to Doctors Smith and Thompkins by Felix Payne, Mrs. Glass, Miss Cass and numerous other女士. Western State of Colorado, Miss Brown, Dr. and Mrs. Rose of Denton, and Miss Carr, of New York City, were close followers of the tourney, especially the matches of Doctors Downing and McGriff. Still over and above them all was a group of regular fellows, the "bunch" from the Kappa Alpha Psi House around on the Boulevard, who were not only there to see the game, but to see one of the "gang" put it, over and keep the National Championship of Men's Singles in the West, and the trophies in Kappa Kastle and Calumet. As their active leader, in spite of the presence of Grand Polemarch Ellis Stewart, the fellows followed the lead of that international athlete and 100 per cent sportsman, Sol. Butler, of Olympic fame, but when he needed help, Frank Sommers and the whole "bunch," all in one and one in all pulled every minute for good old Kappa Alpha Psi, and climaxed it all by a lusty college yell for the 1923 winner and member of the clan.

BROWN, National Men's Singles Tennis Champion, 1922-23 CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—The finals of the National Championships of the National Men's Singles Tennis Saturday, completely vindicated the obvious and fundamental superiority of the top-spin driving game (stroke perfection) over the antiquated, an- te-deluvian back lot stroke, the wholly unscientific, unorthodox, and ineffective "patball" variety of In the Women's event Mrs. Lottie Wade, New York, with her heavily sliced chips, never had a chance against the hard-hit top-sin balls of Miss Isadore Channels, 1922-23 National Singles Champion, Miss Chancellor, 1922-23 pleasured, allowing Mrs. Wade a substantial lead in both sets, when she would speed up and shot after shot would find them New York woman on one side of the court and the ball on the other. It is my canidl opinion that she should play in New York are "ideal" for a chopstick with its board fence six feet back of the baseline, but the advantage is lost on an adequate and genuine tennis court that permits a back court driving game. I am sure Mrs. Wade found the ample room back the chair, and that she is to her liking, but they are fine for a real drive, such as good tennis demands. The Men's Singles started auspiciously. E. Saithe, the rather likable New Yorker, putting over one of his assistants, and the other of his blood in what everyone was led to believe would be a youthful triumph. That start looked good and reassuring to even the Western fans. He got a great hand, but the ardor of the crowd was somewhat lessened as he fell back into hall being returned rather unceremoniously to his backhand, which failed to respond. The applause seemed about even up; but Saithe is a grandstander and he was not to be denied and he soon set forth a game of the initial set by my own errors in overdriving the baseline. I won my service and for the rest of that set, which I won 0-1 and the next at 6-2 my good friend and conqueror, but I was not anything but stand on his head as he hurried up, back and then from NEW YORK, Sept. 6- Staging a nine-run rally in the seventh and eighth innings, the Lincoln Giants defeated the Ascension Club at the Catholic Protectionary on Sunday, 12 to 7.

Miss Climme Robinson, who died August 28, 1920. Mr. and Mrs. Smith Daniels Mrs. Jessie Keys THE PITTSBURGH/COURIER one side to the other, following the rather elusive little ball that seemed always to be going away from him in spite of his best efforts. I never saw my racket, which had three strings gone by the third set when I led twolove (2-0), had weakened considerable, and my shots began to lose their sting. The set wont along rathercross, and I set point in his hand five times. He again led 8-1 when I changed rackets and after two games to become adjusted to the new strings I won the set at 1-0, allowing his only two points. I broke broken racket, I believe the third set would have been a love set. There were several long rallies and many fine shots, but I suppose the one in the fourth game of the first set stood out in both relief when I came up to the net, and her nine times to catch him flat-footed after he made a beautiful backhand return which I drove into the forehand corner of a close but perfect ace. Once in the third set I drove back to the net position and Saitch was dashing from one corner to another in the backhand corner. And so the rallies went for the most part whether I drove from the baseline or volleyed from the net, he was always the frontmost, very much to his discomfiture. There was nothing that approached real tennis in the doubles which Dr. McGriffon, won by default. It was every thing but tennis, with little attitude or riqueau. The mixed doubles were won easily by Saitch and Mrs. Wade, of New York. Dr. Rhetta and Miss Nellie Nicolson, of Baltimore, were the victims. The Women's Doubles went to Mrs. Wade and Mrs. Leonard, of New York. Mrs. Glass and Miss Ross, of Kansas City, playing senior partners. The sportsmanship — as well as the good sense and propriety of a number of the leading players and officials, will probably be a live subject during the winter months, with a rather likely recession on the part of some of the players, with a hoisterous attitude. The West put it over, but the East nearly won just what the future holds, time alone will disclose. Last Battle With Bushwicks Goes to Thirteen Innings BROOKLYN.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30. — George Moore is the biggest colored man fistlana in the big dailies. This is a man who last time after time, but we call the attention of our readers to the manner in which the big dailies are dealing with Moore to warrant us continually speaking of this unusual character to the deserving number of colored fighters in the roped arena. "in protecting Dampsey from the fists of the colored fighter. As a man in the game and manager of a fighter I firmly believe able to give Wills a fight, I feel that I am justified in seeking a match with the man I will not interfere any way with his chances for a championship fight." "The little South American, Risney, whom I have recently taken Unless Moore stood well with the gentlemen of the press New York's hustling, bustling millions would never hear as much about George and his fighters as they do and the colored newspaper men with whom he has been brought into close contact swear by him because they have found him not only fighting battles of his boys' powers that be," he said. "All times demanding with the big fight clubs the same recognition for the colored press as that which obtains where the white press is concerned. And yet Moore looks upon this as duty and part of his day's work. On a special request from an out-of-town publication to get a few lines from him personally, he ton-holled him one day, week and announcement that he was in for an interview. Now, we know that George has always ducked the issue when it comes to talking about what he is doing as has been perfectly satisfied to let, what he is doing to for itself. He has always done good, he having spent the early afternoon cooing and billing with Danny Edwards' sturdy little six-months-old son and protecting his mid-session from his own little boy, who for a nine-year-old is as full of life as he was growing up. His delight is trying to prove to his daddy that he can get past his guard. Apparently these are Moore's happiest hours, especially when he looks to his own manager, Mrs. Moore, for relief from the continued attacks from the youngster. "Say if you really want me to want you words in behavior, boys don't forgive how-proud I feel at the undfived support given me by the people of New York, both white and colored, since I decided to locate it, also the splendid manner it, which the colored boys of the press have rallied around me. I appreciate what they have been doing to do for me and myself, I never missed it. I see them the ringside at the big fights enjoying the same privileges as the men on the daily papers." "So much is being said of my boys in these days I do not see how I can 'd to it, although I will say that it is my intention to leave no stone unturned in trying to bring them to the front. Danny I am sending to the country for three weeks or a month and upon his return I am going to match him with Abe Goldstein again. There comes a time in the life of every fighter when he, through his equipped or otherwise, is handed up and the knockout suffered by my boy, as you will note by the many experts at the ringside, came at a time when he was 'off.'" "I have never been known to attempt any alibis for any of my fighters and I am not doing so in this instance, the public having been told the story by the newspapers last Wednesday morning, see the realities of my boy reeling in the city. Now, just a word about Willie Walker. While I am confident that Walker in a return engagement with Panama Joe Gans can make good, Walker himself is anxious that I sigh him up with Gans, but this is another story as it is not as easy to get Gans in a match as many seem to think." "The moment that Mr. Flynn shows the slightest desire to give us a refund match he will find me on his doorstep and Willie Walker will surprise those who think Gans is so far superior Willie can't take him. Bill Tate I am sending to Chicago to go through with the fight to meet George Peterson. This match will set him from August 10th to the 28th, through the death of the President." “Big Bill’ is in prime condition for the battle and with the assistance and attention of “Denver Ed” Martin I expect him to wipe Jack Johnson’s protege off the map as a contender to meet Harry Wills, the colorist of the 1950s, a chance to win Wills. Tate is the most logical one and with the added experience gained since his last fight with Harry the fans will see a different man in Tate if Wills decides to put on some fights to keep in condition while waiting for the elusive Jack Dempsey. “Please do not misunderstand my position where a Wills-Tate fight is cone, as I am among those denouncing the tactics of Tex Rickard, Jack Kearns and the entire batch of them keeping Wills out of a match which should at this time be his. I look upon the Firpo-Dempsey fight as an imposition by Rickard on the people supporting the game and wounding him, because that would prevent this fight and bring Wills into Firpo’s place.” "But the cards appear to be stacked and Wills will never meet Bempel. They are not there, but it vent it and from the looks of things, seem to be very successful so." Men! Come To Me!

Simply rub a little in that amount of brush it in any style you prefer and your hair will stay in place without any trouble. "Kinkout" softens the hair and makes it more hairy with each application. Do not wash it out. The hair will be softer and more dangerous of burning the scalp or causing the hair to turn red.

N. P.)—Dame Fashion has issued a decree that has created a high delight in some circles and brought consternation to others. Harlem is in a social ferment that threatens to start a social, war that will rock it to its very social center. Last Spring short skirts and lace silky stockings were banned by the social arbiters of Lenox and Seventh Avenues. There was a loud cry of joy went up from the throats of the happy "Box. Ankle" brigade and a wall of hearty anguish made its discordant way from the disturbed souls of the "shapelies." And now "bobbed hair" is billed for a fade away. "Bobbed hair must go!" The hair must keep up with the skirts. This is the way Dame Fashion puts it, and Harlem is nothing if it is not fashionable. Plenty of howls, says you, but the long skirt has brought the long hair to stay. Fun for the Kiddies "Where have you been, old-timer? inquired Cuthbert, upon meeting up with his friend Hofly."

THIS IS ONE JOB THAT IS MINE STOP THIS FIRE The Three Bears Once upon a time there were three bears who lived together in a little house in the woods. There was papa bear and mamma bear and baby bear, and they were very nice bears. One morning the three bears went out for a walk in the woods before breakfast—for bears always get up early so that they will be hungry by breakfast time. While they were out walking, a little girl—who lived in a village nearby—saw the house that belonged to the bears, and as the door was open and as it was a pretty little house, she walked right in. And there what do you suppose she saw? On the table stood three bowls of oatmeal. She tasted the oatmeal in the biggest bowl, but it was not sweet enough. She tasted the oatmeal in the middle-sized bowl, but it was too sweet. She tasted the oatmeal in the little baby bowl, and it was so good that she ate it all right up. Then the little girl saw three chairs behind her. She sat down in the big one, but it was so hard that it hurt her, and she said, "Ow!!" She sat down in the middle-sized one, but it was too soft. Finally she sat down in the little baby chair, and the bottom fell out of it. By this time she was feeling rather tired, so she went into the bed If You Want Help, Telephone your wants to The Courier; Court 1832, classified ads 3c per word. room. There standing in a row in front of her were three of the prettiest beds that she had ever seen. She tried them all until she found one that suited her. Meanwhile the bears had returned home to eat their breakfast. "Some one has been eating my oatmeal," said pama bear in a big gruff voice. "Some one has been eating my oatmeal," said mamma bear in a little soft voice. "And some one has eaten my oatmeal all up!" cried the baby. Then pama bear saw his chair, "Some one has been sitting in my chair," said pama bear in big gruff voice. "Some one has been sitting in my chair," said mama bear in a little soft voice. "And some one has fallen right through my chair!" cried the baby bear. The three bears did not know who had been in their house, because they could not see anyone. They peeped into the bedroom to see if that was empty also. "Some one has been in my bed," said papa bear in a big gruff voice. "Some one has been in my bed, and she is here still!" cried the baby bear. With this the little girl awoke and she was so frightened that she ran right out of the house and went home to her mother. The bears tried to catch her, but they could not. If you want a home or room, call Court 1832. Rates 3c per word.

He is spending his spare moment reading Fino's *Prelude*, when he is interviewed by a passenger who finds him greeting talker. Later he is dressed as a Southern Senator, also a passenger on the train, and is "fine taste for books", also forced to agree with him if the races are not equal. SIXTH INSTALLMENT YES! admitted Dixon, "a great number of uneducated Negroes, also a goodly number of those with more book-learning, do act in a manner to warrant statement. The habit that far too many Negroes have calling themselves by those objectionable epithets given by their white contemners cannot be too strongly conceived. And yet isn't the surest way of nullifying a nickname to call yourself by it? Anyway, I have been to South Africa and the Negroes there would never think of adding one another thus. Indeed, even a full-blooded Brahnegro feels hurt if called a Negro in pretty much the way that a descendent of the Pilgrim Fathers would be called an Englishman. The Brazilian wishes to be known by his national patronymic." Because he is ashamed of his race," retorted the pas- sion. Bailiell continued Dixon, who existed as late as the Negro is taught not only and himself the equal of the man but he is given an op- portunity to prove it. There is no Brazilian life, official or un- known to is not welcome and he has not aspired. I have nearly informed that more than a Brazilian President has had lived in his veins. In the states on the other hand, it appears as if every position posits to humble the so-called to suppress his self-respect, ought to be small wonder, many Negroes do not show many dignity and many weight, weighing the pur- pose to appear white, an act that is just about as much of inferiority as when than Masters himself in the an endeavor to appear, no to be the brazen heroes of the world. Bois, we would not have done so well in the South. But I am op- posed to this policy of trying to gain by subterfuge or blandishment that which is one's divine right." Silence for a few moments. The passenger appeared to be thinking deeply. Then he asked: "But how are you going at account for this? A Negro thinks himself superior to other Negroes in proportion to his amount of Caucasian blood. Isn't that an instinctive acknowledgment of inferiority?" "It is true," conceded Dixon, "that many lighter-skinned Negroes look down on their darker brothers. Many others shun them, too, for economic necessity; that is, they can earn more by passing for white, but in the first instance, can't we find a thing among the whites? Mark ye I should fending this inexcusable ignorance among so-called Negroes. I have passenger did not respond, pursued to be busily engaged in the inside woodwork.

Then he asked: "But how are you going to account for this? A Negro thinks himself superior to a white man; a proportion to his amount of causation. Is that an instinctive acknowledgment of inferiority?" "It is true," conceded Dixon, "that many lighter-skinned Negroes look down on their darker brothers. Many others shun them, too, for economic necessity; that is, they can earn more by passing for white. But, in the first instance, can't we find a similar thing among the whites? Mark you, I am not defending this inexhaustible ignorance among so-called Negroes. I have always held that the ma, who protests against a thing should be the last man to practice it. In the United States, for the lack of a nobility, a premium is also set upon Mayflower descent, and many persons so descended pride themselves upon their superiority due to ancestry—blue-bloods, F. F. V's, yea, even from the dark-skinned cochontas. An the analogy made more explicit is that American its nobility is too evident to need further comment. Then, it must be remembered that there is considerable rivalry between the brunettes and the blondes. I have heard rather heated arguments between white women of these types as to their respective merits. Blondes having the lesser amount of pigment, are supposed to be the more virtuous, which, perhaps, accounts for the large number of chemical blondes among the women of your race—and mine, too, to some extent. "But those among us who have an infusion of Caucasian blood have nothing to house of, since such are in the position of children who have been abandoned by one of their parents. Then too, whenever such are discovered among the whites, they are always unceremoniously thrust out. In my opinion, the Negro who plumes himself upon his white descent simply does not think." The bell had begun to ring just as Dixon was finishing; and as he went to answer the call, it was very gird of the interruption and remained there, thereby to break off the argument. But the senator, it appears, had no such intention, for when Dixon, ten minutes later, had occasion to re-enter the room, he was immediately assailed with: "There is another important point of Negro inferiority. The features of the Caucasian are more pleasing, not only to the Caucasian, but to the Negroes, judging from their own comments. No one would ever think of comparing the physiognomy of a Negro with that of an Adonisian or an Aphrodite. The white man's native sense of beauty will never permit him to modify his ideals." He paused, then added, with conviction, "The Negro's physiognomy will ever make him unpleasing to the white man." Dixon thought of telling him that this matter of physiognomy was the cause of all the trouble; but replied, instead: "The features of the Caucasian are, as a rule, more pleasing only of his own eye, for each human variety, except when imbued with the thoughts of another people, as 'Nevro in the New World, considers its facial dasts the standard, Darwin, in his 'Descent of Man,' says that when the Negro boys on the east coast of Africa saw Burton, the explorer, they cried out, 'Look at the WHITE man!' Does he not look like a whiteape?" (To Be Continued Next Week.) RAIN OF FROGS OVER COUNTY MEADE, Kan., Sept. 6.—A rain of frogs, ranging in size from half an inch to two inches long covered Meade County with millions of the small amphibians. The frogs, fell from the sky in a series of heavy rushes, and this fact is verified by many reliable witnesses. Thousands of frogs were-found on the prairies miles from any stream or pond. By J. A. Rogers SUNSHINE "For when you smile, there's miles and miles of smiles" The young, wife sat plinging her needle. A coat of her husband's was in her lap. As the husband appeared, she said frettfully; "It's too bad the way the careless way the tailor sewed this button on. This is the fifth time I've had to put it back for you." An English visitor was taken by an American friend to see one of our minstrel shows. It was the first he had ever attended. He sat through it with a slightly puzzled expression. After the performance the adjourned to a restaurant and the American friend to ask what he thought of the show. "Did you like it, old man?" The Englishman came to time bravely. "Oh, yes. It was a jolly show, a jolly show, altogether. Quite so. But I couldn't keep up with the plot for the life of me." On his arrival in Manchester a man who was fond of playing practical jokes sent a friend in London a telegram with charges collect, reading. "I am perfectly well." The information was gratifying to him, for about a week later the joker received an express package on which he was obliged to pay heavy charges. Opening it he found a large street paving block, upon which was pasted the following message: "This is the weight your telegram lifted from my heart." An American drove an English friend up and down Broadway for over an hour, calling attention to the multitude and intensity of the advertising signs. No detail was allowed to escape the hungry guest. "The cost $2,000,000 a year; that $1,000,000," and on so; the Englishman preserved silence. Finally, very desperate. The American demanded; "What do you want of them all?" Said to the Englishman: "A bit conspicuous don't you think?" COURIER-ETTES Queer News As Picked Up From Papers All Over the Country Young Pig Has Six Feet QUICKSAND, Ky.

Figures in "Still Pictures Stun Broadway Theater Crowd" NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 6. Show girls nude to the waist have appeared on Broadway. Posed frankly in the glare of full lighting, in a review which has just opened here, they constitute New York's most daring emulation of the Folies Bergere of Paris, where the undraped female form has been a common sight on the stage for several seasons. Even the blase Broadway audiences appeared stunned when the curtain rolled up at the new Shubert Revue, "Artists and Models," and the people realized what they were looking at. There was silence for a moment, then scattered hand clapping, loud laughter from the gallery and a few groans and hisses. The girls are the central figures of "still" pictures. At the second night of the production, extra seats had to be placed. Only One Set of Twins in This Mother's Large Flock JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Sept. 6.

Finally Reaches Destination PITTSBURGH. Pa., Sept. 6. — A postcard mailed from Astoria, Long Island, fourteen years ago, has just reached its destination at Wilmerding, near here.

Postal authorities believe the card slipped into a crevice or some other nook at Astoria, and when found recently by a clerk was sent to Wilmerding. THE PITSBURGH COOKIE "A Bit O'Humor, A Touch O'Drama, Music and Dancing,—" These Things Form Composite Parts of "Shuffle Along" EDITH SPENCER BLUES SINGER EDBIE BLAKE AND CHORUS IN "SHUPPLE ALONG" SISSLE AND BLAKE High Class Aggregation Make up Show Show's Song Hits Broadcasted Over K D K A Radio — Thousands "Listen In." You've read about it, even dreamed about it and now you've seen! "Shuffle Along"—a bit of humor, a touch of drama and music, music, dancing, dancing. that's "Shuffle Along", the tuneful, artistic musical hit featured by Sissie Belle and their aggregation of rare stage artists. The Pitt Theatre can hardly accommodate the record-breaking crowds who stand in line for tickets all hours during the day and late at night. "There is little to say about 'Shuffle Along', that has not already been said. For two seasons the press has been filled with brilliant accounts of the great production and after seeing the show, we can but join in praising its splendid display." The stars were there—vivacious Lottie Gee in gorgeous costumes, charming Edith Spencer, the harmonious Harmony Kings. Joe Simms and others who gave Pittsburgh its first taste of high class—musical comedy from Ham's most talented sons and daughters. "Shuffle Along" written by Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, now famous Negro song writers and comedians, previously well known in vaudeville and World War entertainment, ran two years in an off-Broadway show, and performed with the songs and their jazz-psychoiology attracted the theatre-going public of Manhattan, and they "beat a path to their doors." Then four months in Boston and five in Chicago followed the successful run in New York. Pittsburgh is the only city in America, besides the three leading metropoles, where the show will stop. Many of the song hits have become popular through their introduction by the colored show folks. "Wild About Harry," Love Will Find A Way, "Honeysuckle Time," Gypsy Blues, "I Am Craving for That Kind of Love," 'If You Haven't Been Vamped by A Brown Skin, You Haven't Been Vamped At All', and a number of others are favorite jazz melodies. Tuesday night, the entire show was broadcasted by Station K. D. K. A, from the Pittsburgh Post Studio. In announcing the affair the Post said: "Never before in the history of radio has such a venture been undertaken. Radio has taken excerpts from operas and musical comedies and concerts with marked success. Even amateur performances have been placed before the radio fans in almost their entirely. But the broadcasting of the big Broadway, Chicago and Boston musical gem, stopping at the Pitt Theatres in London and the continent, will be the greatest feat ever to constitute a radio program in this country or abroad." LOTTIE GEE PRIMA DONNA What Color Was Ethiopian Race Of Ancient Times? Trophies of Harvard-Art Museum Expedition, Now in Boston, Throw Light Upon Mysteries Long Shrouded in Darkness-Ethiopians Were Not Black Investigators Say. The mysteries of one of the mightiest civilization of old, buried in oblivion through the ages, are now revealed for the first time by the Harvard University-Museum of Fine Arts Egyptian expedition. It opens to the eyes of the historian a hitherto closed chapter of ancient history. And it fills a gap of 1000 years about which chroniclers and archaeologists until now speculated and theorized in视听. Experts last week declared the find as "infinitely transcending" in historical value the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamen by the late Lord Carnarvon. One of the amazing features of the discovery is the manner in which it positively, according to experts confounds what historians, even some ancient historians, have always believed about Ethiopia. The unearthed relics prove, they say, beyond a civil of a doubt that the ancient Egypt Ethiopian race was black race; that in face that were Libyans, (who skin was like the modern Arabs), that they ruled all of Libya and its probably 3,000,000 of inhabitants, and that they once conquered Egypt and annexed it as a province. They became fabulously wealthy, and thrived on trade and barter, and became in the eyes of other peoples of that time a country of "dreams and fairy tales and romance." Vases of polished metal, mirrors of gold and silver, jewelry with the most exquisite embossing and even eyebrow pencils and cosmetic phillers were among the rarities dug in what was once Ethionio, down in the lower region of the valley of the Nile. The king's coffin, its mummy long since dissipated to the four winds, stands just outside the walls of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The whole weighs nearly 17 tons and may never enter the museum. The walls of the museum the dangers of placing this great burden on any of the floors of the institution. Weird were the customs of the people of Libya in the light of present day civilization. They played baseball to but it to them it was an effeminate game to be indulged in only by the women. One of the features of the sport was for one girl to get on the back of another in a standing posture and throw the ball from that position. Cosmetics, however, were used freely, by men as well as women. There is every reason to believe from the effects found in the tomb of King Aspalta that it was his custom to lean back on his back while he was still painted up for a state occasion. The adornment was an artificial beard which was held in place under the chin by a brap that locked over the head. The work is being done jointly by the Egyptian Department of Harvard University and by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The venture was started in 1005 and has been continued steadily and industriously since the personal direction of Dr. George H. Harvard University—who is also the Curator of the Egyptian department of the museum. EDBIE BLAKE 'AND CHORUS IN "SHUPPLE AINING" Little Brown Hen Lays Football Eggs The Shells of Her-Product Are Marked With Seams Crows Like Rooster and Sings, But Not Like, Galli Curci—Quite Different NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept 6—One of the most versatile little brown hens in this city, or in the State for what matter, is owned by Mrs. Joseph Vauthier, wife of a substation captain of an evening paper's circulation staff. Mrs. Vauthiers smart little hen lays eggs with seams in the shell, so that they are almost exact replicas of footballs. But, whereas the ordinary football has only four seams running from end to 2nd, the eggs of Mrs. Vauthiers hen have seven. So the eggs look more like a football than a football does, as one of her neighbors, a woman by the way remarked on being permitted to examine one of the eggs. If this peculiarity of the little hen were its only claim to fame this old story would stop right here. But there is more that the writer feels it his solemn duty to relate. Crows Like a Rooster Yes, it should be known that Mrs. Vauthiers little brown hen crowls like a rooster, which recalls the old prophecy that— "Whistling girls and crowing hens Never come to ady good ends." Never come to any good ends." However, it is a fact that the little brown hens crows more like rooster than a rooster, and the neighbors are objecting so much. Mrs. Vautheris says, that sometimes she is thinking of killing the noisy little fowl or hiring a hall for it. Some of the neighbors have hinted that it is not a hen at all, But Mrs. Vautheris has in his football eggs to prove that it is itself—although a crenn and the only hen known to lay football eggs. "The only thing I know of" she said to the reporter, "is that Mr. Vautheris, my husband used to tret so because his work kept him from attending football games. He's a regular fanatic about football games. I often told him he thought about football so much the hen caught a sympathetic ailment; thus the football eggs." "Does your hen crow like a rooster all the time?" Mrs. Vautheris was asked. "Well," she replied, "it alternates—crowing and singing." Crows and Sings There you are, another talent. According to Mrs. Vauhier, the little hen sings, not exactly like Galli-Gurci, and yet it has a fairly good mezzo-soprano, but is inclined to overdo it, she says, and her neighbors agree with her. The neighbors say they wouldn't object to the Banana tune, or the Missouri salt riffle, or the Blue Blues too nerve-wracking, they say, especially when not well rendered. Besides most of them hate Alabama. The hen used to lay unseamed eggs and it used to desire to set and hatch chicks. In fact, it is the mother of a goodly brood born last year. But since the little hen began to crow like a rooster, she doesn't want to be a mamma any more, and she won't set on her own footballs. Maybe she is afraid she will hatch out a flock of pushballs. SQUIRREL SWIMS NIAGARA'S RAPIDS NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Sept. 6—A red squirrel successfully swam the rapids above the American Falls. The squirrel fell into the stream from a log a few hundred yards above the cataract and was swept out in the current. It succeeded in reaching a rock some distance on its surface. Reservation employees saw the little animal's predicament. They obtained a long ladder and shoved an end out to the rocks, thinking the squirrel would scramble over it to shore. But it disdained the improvised bridge and plunged into the stream, landing on the mainland shore, after a desperate struggle, only a few feet from the brink of the falls. Wasp Armies Yield To Vacuum Cleaner Man Finally Finds Way to Rid His Home of Pests. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. Sept. 6. Walter E. Stephenson of this city, treasurer of an electric company, had been pestered with wasps flying into his home all summer. At night, the insects kept the Stephenson family awake. Efforts to exterminate the wasps failed. Nothing seemed to harm them. Stephenson purchased swaters, spent money on various poisons and tried other ways to rid his home of the buzzing creatures without success, he said. Even advice given him by experts at the university, to burn sulphur near nested worms, foundation of the house, moved worms, when the wasps, apparently immune, came up healthier than ever. Finally, Stephenson tried a scientific method all his own. He attached the hose apparatus to his vacuum cleaner and sucked up most of the insects from their nests, he said. RALEIGH, M. C. Sept. 1—"Aunt Nancy McNeill of Robeson, has been declared the "youngest-oldest inhabitant." She is in her nineteenth year. At least fifteen years past the ecclesiastical allotment of time upon the earth, "Aunt Nancy" has some where found the fountain of youth, and it is likely that several years ago someone chances to pass her hut, he will find "Aunt Nancy" busily engaged in some way. "Aunt Nancy" lives alone in a one-room log cabin, on the farm of her son-in-law and daughter. It is here that she does all of her home duties. Her daughter Lizzie, only lives about a hundred and fifty yards away, and when asked why she does not live with her daughter Nancy says she does not want to live with her children, for she wants to be alone she can be free and independent to do as she pleases. Her cabin is about 12x15 feet inside. It has a door in the center on either side, a window at each end, and a fireplace on the east end. It is in this fire place that "Aunt Nancy" does a good bit of her cooking, although she has a small stove. One finds in this fireplace an iron spider, an iron kettle and a coffee. To the right of the fireplace, there is a lead sails snapped to the house. This leads to a ledge, a coffe. There are two shelves containing few cooking utensils, also two small tables. At the west end of the cabin one finds a bed in each corner—the "old timey" home-made kind. Ball Of Fire Flits About Dark Room GOLDSBORO, N. C., Sept. 6. Mrs. Edward Thompson, who resides in Greenleaf, a suburb north of this city, recently witnessed one of the strangest phenomenons ever reported here. The occurrence has been the leading topic of conversation in Greenleaf ever since it took place. It seems that on entering her bedroom, which was dark at the time, Mrs. Thompson noticed a ball of vari-colored fire floating about from corner to corner. Being a woman not easily frightened, she decided to investigate before calling other members of the family. She chased the ball of fire around the room and entered in contact with it. Her face was badly injured and still inflamed and swollen. When she found that the ball of fire was real, and had felt its itching flames, she became much frightened and her screams around the neighborhood. When members of her family and others appeared the fiery ball had disappeared, but the burns on Mrs. Thompson's face proved that it had been there. Some in the suburb claim that it was a phosphorus ball from a nearby swamp, while others are confident that it was the spirit of some former tenant of the house that passed away, but is still earthbound and enjoys revisiting its former home.

LEMOYNE PAGE, Secretary of, the Pennsylvania Trust Company, of Pittsburgh Wasteful Spending—A serious con dition confronting the American people—rich and poor, poor and rich, their children to save and inculcate into their young minds the habit of thrift. The spending habit—the habit of careless, wasteful spending—has thoroughly fastened itself upon the two younger generations of American know from my own experience and contact with young men that it is very rare to find a young man who is a good personal financier, who buys well, who is proud of the thrift he shows in the use of his money, and who knows and respects the place own part as a member of society. The parents of today have some- how failed to educate the children of tomorrow in thrift. To me this failure to teach young children to be thrifty, to spend well and to save, is the basic cause of our nation a nation of "spenders," as we are. You can't easily throw off the habit of careless spending after you have group up. If you have never beer, educated in careful buying and habitual saving when you are young, you probably can NEVER be really thick. And it will not be enough for parents to say, "You must save," or "You ought to save," to their children. All of us, who are at all young can remember from our own childhood just how little effect these habits have upon vigorous, active children. All modern child education bears out our feeling about this: the must CLASSIFIED COLORED WORKMEN An Opportunity To Work for Promotion Inside Work for Start See Employment at State Employment Bureau 518 Wylie Avenue (Urban League) Or Employment Department Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, EAST PITTUSHGRA, PA.

Distinguished Visitors Visit The Billboard Among the many who visited New York during the month of August were some of the foremost people in our theatrical world. Among those who visited at the Billboard office were Milton B. Starr, president of teh Theater Owners' Booking Association, and owner of the Bijou Theater in Nashville, together with several other amusement properties. His visit to the big city was in the interest of elevating the standard of vaudeville to be offered this season in the houses of the big circuit. Another visitor was E. L. Cummings and wife, together with a son who is going into the big time vaudeville. Mr. Cummings controls the southeastern group of colored theaters and is the owner of the Belmont Theater in Pensacola, Fla. The page regrets his absence from the city at the time these people were visiting. However, their call was greatly appreciated. Leroy Broomfield, of Omaha, Neb., owner of the biggest race amusement enterprise in that western metropolis, visited the office under the guidance of Billy Pierce of the Defender staff. Toney Langston' The Old Roll-Top," was again in the city. Prof. DeFrance, director, and Lieut. Cassell T. Ayres, drum major of the Second Regiment Bar.1 of Columbus, Ohio, were other callers with prestige. Their band covered itself with glory on Fifth avenue, New York, even as it did two weeks earlier at the Fa. in Lexington, KY. Clarence Muse, the producing actor-theatrical editor of Chicago, dropped in and remained long enough to dictate an "impudent" message for our later use, and we it t O. K., Clarence. Thanks.

Gibson Gives 'Em What They Want It was our pleasure to visit Philadelphia for a few hours on August 24, en route home from a vacation spent in Central Pennsylvania. Of course, we visited the Standard Theater, which we found packed to the very doors. Mr. Shortt, the house manager; Mr. Dunson, the publicity man who is helping out while the Dunbar is closed for its annual overhauling, and the doughty little John T. Gibson himself were all busy and happy. While time did not permit an extended visit, we sat through two acts and went back stage to visit with Sandy Burns and the other folks with very pleasing results. The following program is submitted as an explanation for the heavy mid-summer patronage. It is typical of what Mr. Gibson offers continually and the house has a following that is built on the certainty of a good show of the sort they like, for Gibson has long since learned the Hawkins and Hawkins are at their home, 211 Price street, Savannah, Ga. They have retired for awhile because of the death of Mrs. Hattie Hawkins' mother. They are anxious to hear from their personal friends. 'Shuffle Along'. To Remain For Another Week The enormous demand for tickets and the continued capacity houses for the rollicking Dixie musical hit, "Shuffle Along," at the Stu伯堡 Pitt Theatre, where it has sung, played and danced into the place of an assured Pittsburgh success this week, has prompted the management to extend the engagement one more week and next Monday night at the theatre it will begin the second and last week of its stay. One of the marked features of "Shuffle Along" is the smiling enthusiasm with which every one works from the popular stars, Sissle and Blake, down to the girls appearing as the syncopating stenographer. All who see this sensational success talk about the pain the cineries "Shufflers take" to give the public its money's worth. Sissle and Blake have written a number of tuneful melodies, among them "Wild About Harry," "Love Will Find a Way," "Bandana Days," "If You Haven't Been Vamped by a Brown, Skin, You Haven't Been Vamped at All," "Honeycusle Time," "Gypsy Blues." The splendid cast of funnakers includes Lotte Gee, Edith Spencer, Lou Payton, the Four Harmony Kings. Joe Simms, W. H. Hann, I. H. Browning and others.

He'll attend every phase of his business. He's that kind of a business man. "SEPARATOR" BY DANCIN Prizes Offered for Dancers Correct New Step A NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—A satisfactory device to wear by dancers to keep their heads in the proper positions and their bodies the correct distance apart is sought by the American Society of Teachers of Dancing, and to this end prizes of $100, $50 and $25 were announced last week at the opening of the society's forty-sixth annual convention in the Hotel Waldorf Astoria. With the fox trot and its variations holding forth almost exclusively on the dance floor nowadays, the society is also out for a new dance rhythm and is willing to pay $500 to its inventor, according to President R. W. Visay, of Milwaukee. The one-step, two-step, half-step and what-not are officially in the discard, and Mr. Visay says somebody should be able to devise a satisfactory five-step, seven-step or some other step to relieve the monotony. The tendency as far as dancing teachers is concerned is toward simpler steps, interspersed with glides and "rests" in which the dancers come to a complete stop for an instant, according to expressions at the meeting.

"Dusty" Carter, the drummer and general utility man for Sam Reeyin at the Liberty Theater, Chattanooga, Tenn., was in New York with the K. of P. Supreme Lodge. He strutted most nibly down Fifth avenue in his "Dokey" uniform. Later he held an informal reception to the showfolks in front of the Lafayette Theater, and next evening honored the Page with a call at the home. He was domiciled during his stay at Mrs. Mary Byrd's at 100 West 137th St. and was under the guidan of Prof. Calhoun, a form; associate of his in the old home town. "Dusty" tells us that the doctors in Chattanooga are doing a lot of constructive things. Dr. Thompson has just completed a $40.00] apartment building on Brink street and Dr. A. C.

She is a hustling publicity promoter. Sussie Sutton and Alice Gorras remained in New Orleans when the "Follow Me" Tabloid company was disbanded in that city. The show was reported to be an unusually good one, but the theater manager insisted union having the original comedians with the show. These men were with the big company. The Agents' Column of this issue contains an interesting story concerning a live group of ag-ts who specialize in traveling ahead of the many established colored shows. These agents have made the names of these shows famed throughout the south. Zachariah White and Jordan have made such a favorable impression with their "Darktown Strutters" in the middle west that they are, considering offers, from a Columbia Burlesque producer, Bessie White, Alvin Tinsley, George Eael and Connie Woods are with the company.

It was pointed out, however, that the tendency among teachers does not always control the public tendency. Conservative dances will often be distorted, it was said. "Less noise and more melody," was the keynote of the convention sounded by Louis H. Chalif, of New York, first vice president who said the society would make a valiant effort this winter to restore the waltz to its popularity as "queen of the dances." Mr. Chalif made a plea for better music, saying that composers and dance orchestras could do more to purify the dance than could be accomplished by legislators; for the waltz to prepare ourselves for the waltz to design, teachers from all parts of the country today practiced several hours under the direction of W. P. Rivers, of Brooklyn, who introduced three of his waltz creations. They are the "Katola, "Waltz Trio" and "Sport Waltz." Another dance which will be demonstrated will be the "Flapper's Fox Trot."

"Shuffle" Celebrated Due to delay in mail that missed connections with the Page while on vacation, the story of the celebration of the first anniversary of the George Wintz "Shuffle Along" road show took place in Portland, Ore., on July 26. The affair occurred after the show at the Heilig Theater with the members of the Georgia Minstrels as the honor guests. Manager Clem Shaefter was the host. He served a nice lunchon and presented gold medals to the winners of the dance speed contest that was conducted in San Francisco. Manton Morland, who danced a verse and two chorus of "Hot Lips" in 40 seconds received a gold medal. Helen Deas, with 56 seconds, received a silver medal, and Edna Young got a bronze one far doing the steps in 58 seconds. Edna is a 17-year-old product of the Grace Giles school in New York. Imprompt entertainment continued until 3 A. M. The union crews with both shows and of the two houses were also guests. The following night the show broadcasted a program for the Portland Oregonian. Little Eddie Connors who has suffered considerably from the death of his past r is again "chirping up." He hasn't missed a performance since the opening of the show in New York more than a year ago. Billy Dewey, who succeeded to Vaughners' part, is doing very well. Incidentally, it is not much more than a month since George Wintz, the owner, sat beside the desk of the Page and declared this company to be one of the most-willing and harmonious group of people he has ever handled, and he has had many shows of both races. The show is coming East; over a series of one-night stands through Montana and the Dakotas. They will have soon completed a tour of the entire company without the loss of a day. George Christian of the Monahan Carolina Minstrels wrote to the Page from Clinton, Ind., and sent us a copy of a publication that is not too friendly to our group. It was the official organ of a fast growing fraternity. Thanks, George.

Three Klansmen Put To Rout By Race Man NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 6.—(Crusader Service)—A lone Negro with a shotgun put by flight three or more white men wearing the regalia of the Ku Klux Klan last night in Portsmouth. The hooded cowards, all armed with automatics, called at the home of W. B. Trent, colored, on Key Road and attempted to take him to a waiting automobile. He resisted and one of his assailants advocated killing him. Trent's son, however, came out with a shot gun and fired six times. The visitors returned the fire, but retired precipitately. In their flight one of two automobiles used by the Klansmen fell off a bridge. The occupants fled, but police later found three white robes in the car.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 10.—Boisy DeLagee's "Bandanna Girls," a company of 10 people, opened to a very small house duo to the opposition created by the ball game between the local team, Joe Rush Black Barons, and the famous Rube Foster's Chicago Giants.

The act is unusually good of its kind, the song numbers scored and their dance hit, used to close the act, took heavy anglause. Isaac Moore, the comedian, is far below the average, and Florence De-Logue working under cork ran away with the comedy end of the production, called the 'Jelly Roll Cafe.' The audience admired her manner of working. The Carolina Quartette put over four song numbers and a steamboat invitation that drew heavy applause. The show as a whole was good despite their need of a better comedian. The program lasted 55 minutes including the running of a film.

In West Philadelphia, the Race has become so keenly cognizant not only of its long disrespected rights but also of the great power and value of its vote that it has trotted out some rather promising dark horses. Among them is Arthur Haines, who stands well to the fore in the estimation of his fellows. Woman Leaps To Escape A Who Says He Made Special Trip From Baltimore to Again Win Baltimore to Again Win 1912. Now He's in Police Station. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 6. "He's no husband of mine," said Inez Griffin, 31 years old, of No. 1853 North Opal street, as she rested in her bed at the Lankenau Hospital, her body a mass of minor bruises and contusions. "Furthermore, I hope to never see that man's face again." Detective Taylor, of the Ninth District, is investigating the claim of Edward Nance, 35 years old, of Baltimore, was perplexed. Nance claims Inez as his wife and made a special trip from Baltimore to bring her home, after an extended separation since 1912. Incidentally the expedition was unsuccessful and he is being held on the charges of aggravated assault and battery, and carrying deadly con- Certainly she is my wife. Don't Douglass Ho Inaugura Faced with a growing need for a new nurses' home and a revolving fund for the extension of social service work, the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital and Training School will appeal to the public for funds with which to supply the deficiency. The hospital is widely known as the pioneer colored institution of its character in this section of the country and has a fine reputation for its medical services. The members of the race in the 27 years of its existence. It is controlled entirely by colored people, the staff and nurses also being members of the race. Dr. Nathan F. Lester, a medical director, of the in- Embezzler Sent To County Prison Charles A. Smithwick was sentenced by Judge Monaghan to five years in the county prison for embezzlement and fraudulent conversion. He pleaded not contendable in India and was given time to make restitution, but as nothing was done in that direction, the prison sentence was imposed. Smithwick engaged in the real estate business and converted to real estate, and people of his own race to invest in homes and mortgages. Man is Badly Battered Up In Race Riot Thomas Jones, 413 Fulton street, is in the Pennsylvania Hospital with a broken jaw, a mass of lacerations and bruises and a possible fracture of the skull, as a result of being beaten in a race riot at Eighth and Flizwater streets. According to the police of the Second district Jones got into a dispute with two white men, one of them, knocking him down with a large monkey wrench. About a score of men of both paces joined in the scrap, bricks and stones, and the men were smashed and several of the disputants were severely injured, but escaped when a patrol loaded with policemen reached the scene.

The fray is said to have occurred at Theapy and Silas streets, following an attack at the hospital was removed to St. Jo-epi's Hospital, where he is expected to die. He has been selected as the councillaric standard bearer of the race from the Fourth district. In this selection West Philadelphiais are justly deserving of compliment for this man Haines, "of the silver tongue," as so many know him, is most admirably adapted to the responsibilities of such an important port. It will be remembered that Mr. Haines was at one time known as a builder in West Philadelphia. He became fascinated by the lure of politics, gave up the vocation and despite the fact that his entry into politics is s Out Window Ardent Wooer Is Hubby No. 1 I know she can cook the best corn fritters in Baltimore?" argues Edward. "There was no cause for her to take on that way." Mrs. Griffin disagrees on this point, and wants to know what right a husband—even if his story is true—has to return unannounced after 11 years' absence at the unseasonly hour of 4 A. M., to press his marital claims. Nance, she states, entered her house with a drawn revolver, band, Elisha Griffin, and then offered her the alternative of death if she did not agree with his proposal of a reconciliation. The only alternative Inez could see was the window, and she took it along with several panels of glass, landing on the top of a wash boiler. Jesse. Fritts' a patrolman living nearby, was awakened by the noise and interrupted the wooing of Nance at this point. Nance was arrested and Mrs. Griffin, very indignant and pained by her collision with the boiler, she said she would to the hospital. Later she said she would not prosecute Nance if he will only return to Baltimore and stay there.

Sept. 6. — The twenty-eighth annual session of the National Medical Association which was held here this week reached the high water mark in attendance as well as constructive steps taken. Six hundred delegates from thirty states were recorded as present in the office of Dr. W. G. Alexander, of the university, the secretary of the Association. Tuskegee Situation Discussed Chief interest in the second day's session centered around the report of a special committee appointed by the Association at the request of Gen. Frank T. Hines, Director of the Veterans' Bureau, to co-operate with the Bureau in selecting qualified Negro physicians to take care of Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala. Following the report, which was made by Dr. M. O. Dumas, of Washington, D. C., and Dr. Geo. E. Cannon, of Jacksonville, the installation calling for the immediate installation of Negro officers and medical men at the hospital were made. "This action," says the resolution, "is not actuated by any malice or prejudice," but, "it is so in keeping with the fitness of things that the hospital built by the Government for the exclusive care of Negro disabled persons is to complete Negro personnel that this association stands unalterably opposed to any other program." Dr. J. O. Plummer, of Raleigh, N.C., president-elect of the Association, expressed the confidence of the Association that President Coolidge and General Hines would carry out the promise made by the late, late Harding, that the hospital would be staffed with a full Negro personnel. Dr. J. A. Kenney, director of the John A. Andrew Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, of the central figure in the discussion of the Government Hospital located at Tuskegee. Support Offered Shaw Medical School It was the unanimous opinion of the delegates present that the Leonard Medical School at Shaw University, Raleigh, North Carolina, should be reopened with Meharry and Howard.

A. was the technical charge of colored training division in the State Veterans' Bureau — the place where such a unit is located — has been abolished. Action was the result of a plan the department gave a job place in the Veterans' hospital and his two forces forced to go along with other work. Crossland wrote, that "whatever white man is here as Commanding Officer, I shall gladly for him to run the hospital as a whole wheel until we can put the institution a firm basis, and when the time comes I can stand up and show the country at large the necessity of retaining him. I will gladly assume that responsibility with my people and public in general." Under date of August 17, he wrote Director Hugh as follows: "It was somewhat surprising to me to see the statement in the 'Star' he alleged that Mrs. Crossland, a lawyer up the plan so far, asked the doctor. It is said she and her lawyer to write Mrs. Hines, secretary, her suit for divorce and in the courts of Missing and Injured that Dr. Crossland ordered to they the orders of the deceased him to pay tempationary.

Under date of August 17, he wrote Director Hines as follow: wrote Director Hines as follows: "It was somewhat surprising to me, in the statement in the 'Star of yesterday,' colored physicians had carried the Twins into a situation to President Calvin Gollidge without first getting a definite decision from you as to the outcome of the matter." "Dr. Moton visited my office and said that he was in favor of a mixed personnel because he thought. I presume, it was in full accord with that of Dr. M. O. Dumaine 1817 Thirtieth Street, N. W., together with Dr. Kenney, who was driven from Tuskegee, and said that he wanted an entire colored personnel. A few months prior to that, Dr. Moton visited Henry Lincoln Johnson, 1216 Columbo, sylvania Avenue, N. W., and asked him to prepare a letter denouncing Moton for favoring a mixed staff in order that he would have something to show the white people as a successor for the black form of position. After Columbo son and his friends had written the letter, thinking that they were doing it for the very best interests of the race, Dr. Moton double crossed them by going to some high officials through his secretary, denouncing that he who had written the requested letter. "I have been forced recently to entertain the same opinion of the rank and file of members of my race, who曾被授Moton for force and power, and his double-crossing is the cause of his being driven from Tuskegee, together with Dr. Kenney, and has not as yet been permitted to return.

If you will allow me to run over the list with you, I can help you in forty-eight hours to settle this question in such a way that the President of the United States and the Veterans' Bureau will be relieved of an embarrassment. I do not care to put myself into it from any selfish motive, but I know what is in store for the President of the United States. It is impossible for a white man to know it as I know it and as I get it from the colored physicians and the people of America. You can not solve this problem without the advice of some colored man who is not a white man whose veracity you feel that you can rely. "They are planning now to rush on the President, delegation after delegation, telegram and letters, and to go to the National Medical Convention and bombard the press. We have only a few days to clear up this matter and if you are advised what course to pursue in making a definite, satisfactory statement to the colored people through the press, you will be able to relieve the situation little embarrassment and have a plan to reflect up my race and will be helpful and satisfactory to the outstanding white people and will please the President of the United States. If you can not discuss it very well during the day while you are on duty, I shall pleased to meet you any time over go the matter thoroughly. "Dr. Moton has inaugurated this fight in every particular, and proposes to run the hospital at Tuskegee and keep up a condition until he can get along with him, although he will double-cross anybody. It is very unfortunate, however, that the entire Negro press of the country is down on him and came a condition. I had entered into an agreement to be used by a prominent, white man to settle this problem. I have never broken faith with a friend in thirty years, believe you want to do that, but you cannot do it unless you are sided by some colored physician who knows the condition and who has traveled over the South as I have, looking after the training of the colored ex-service man." Or perhaps the most illuminating of this voluminous correspondence is the "mi-dear" letter written to the woman in Chicago, named as co-respondent in the divorce proceedings instituted by her wife. We have plans for the future as follows: "In regard to the Tuskegee hospital, I am glad that you are happy over my success.

I did not hesitate to state that at that time I just have a hearing and proper consideration.

Force Meets Force—All White For many years this country was fed upon the reconstruction days following the war of rebellion. It was the common cry in the South that the Northern carpet-baggers ruined the South by placing ignorant Negroes in office. It was the cry of the North that the South was visiting every possible inhuman treatment upon the Negroes in reprisal for the arrogance of the Negroes in office. Every crime committed against Negroes in the South was charged to the reconstruction and its problems made unbearable by the cursed Yankees. Lynchings were resorted to as a quick method, of disposing of Negroes, and the charge of rape was laid against almost every Negro lynched. The South contended that rape was such a black crime that lynching was the one and only suitable punishment. Just a little propaganda in the North won the unwritten consent of the people that a rapist could be lynched without shocking the national conscience. After this propaganda took firm root, the South proceeded to lynch Negroes at will, and rape was very often charged when, as a matter of truth, there had been no crime committed at all by the victim lynched. This lynching program was instituted to kill off Negroes, and it was operated without any organized opposition. It was directed against the Negro in almost every Southern state, and no one objected to the crime of mob violence as long as a Negro was the victim. But the mob soon ventured into virgin and unexpected territory. White men became the victim of the mob here and there, and some attention was given the past time by both Southern and Northern whites. Objection was first raised when Leo Frank was taken from prison and lynched. But the mob went on. The latest expression of the mob-came in the form of a revived Klan which was used during the reconstruction to strike terror among Negroes who dared listen to the lure of political office. The Klan reorganized, declared for 100 per cent Americanism. It assumed the duty and right to say what shall constitute Americanism; and among the declarations made is the exclusion of Catholics, Jews and Negroes as being without the pale of this self constituted Americanism. This Klan organization soon set upon its mission of lawlessness and mischief, visiting its displeasure upon whom it pleased; and openly declaring war upon the three groups above named. The 100 per cent Americanism claimed by the Klan not only tolerated crime, but encouraged it by unlawful methods ostensibly designed to enforce the law. This usurpation of civil authority placed the Klan among other unlawful groups, and opposition arose all over the country. And while lynchings have not ceased, the Klan has engaged public attention with a new type of lawlessness, and the opposition has offered enough fight to develop mob action in several parts of the country. Force has met force, and all are white. Japan The call to service of every-available aid and rescue organization in America is evidence that man is still akin to man, the world over. The report of the shocking disaster to Japan was the signal for immediate help. This is the finer soul of America giving expression to the conviction that after all, we are one family, and the grief of one touches us all. Time was when this country did not know the darker people across the Pacific. Time was when this country had little or no sympathy for the men who constituted the "yellow peril." We remember when Japan, even in dire need of help, was too far to be heard by American sympathizers. We are changing. Daily we are coming to know something of the practical side of national life and racial consciousness. Nations are but subdivisions of the great human family spread all over God's country. Color, creed and race differences held the world aloof from its duties for many centuries. It was a slow process that brought to light the darker and baser impulses that look upon portions of God's creation as being too inferior for attention. It is to be hoped that it will not require earthquakes, typhoons, tidal waves, and all-consuming fires to kindle in the common heart, the world over, the burning desire to love all men because all men are brothers, and to share the world and its fruits with every one alike, remembering that as we share with others, so will our portions be. The world grieves with Japan, and for the moment, all racial differences are forgot, while humanity drinks deep at the fount of love. As we love her in her hours of grief and depression, so may we love her in her days of triumph and power. We can not love and hate at the same time. We can not love one and hate another, where conditions are equal. We must love Japan as we would have Japan love us under like conditions. This is the spirit the world is seeking, and the spirit which must eventually make the whole world kin in deed and in truth. Judge Gary on Prohibition For business judgment and business direct country has learned to look to Judge Gary, of the States Steel.

But it appears that Judge Gary has invaded For business judgment and business direction, the country has learned to look to Judge Gary, of the United States Steel. He has the industrial ear of the country, and, while he may not know it, he enjoys the respect of our great school of students now devoting their time and attention to purely industrial problems. But it appears that Judge Gary has invaded new realms. Reading and 'Riting and 'Rithmetic DING DONG DING VACATION DAYS Wardeson He has been telling us something of the salutary results of prohibition; and his recent remarks anent the subject have found a wide circulation and a very general comment. He takes the position that prohibition has improved the citizenry of the country. He cites improvements in Alabama, and gives prohibition credit for the improvements. We indulge the hope that the Judge is correct in crediting prohibition with the many improved conditions cited by him; but other authorities tell us that conditions are worse since prohibition swept the country. Whether breaking the Volstead law to get drink, even in less quantities than were consumed by the same users before prohibition, is to be accepted as an improved condition, invites doubt, and not a little discussion. And we have the word of Judge Gary for the statement that the violation of one law but leads some other person to violate another law. If this is correct, and we accept it as such, those who violate the Volstead law, even in the slightest degree, are aiding some others to violate some other law. All of which leads to lawlessness, and lawlessness is not good for the country. The Judge says the only safety lies in the enforcement of laws "which are calculated to protect all the people and which discriminate against none." This would include other amendments than the eighteenth, we imagine, and for that reason, we subscribe cheerfully to the position taken by Judge Gary, conditioned only upon the equal and impartial enforcement of "all laws calculated to protect all the people and discriminate against none." If this could be done, prohibition would be but a part of the enforcement program, and the money the country is now spending on the eighteenth amendment would, in a great measure, guarantee the enforcement of many other laws now long since discarded and abandoned as either obsolete or inconvenient. Give us more on law enforcement, Judge, we need it all over the country. Mexico has been recognized officially at Washington. She is now to have a National Bank of Issue, and American capitalists are to hold 49 per cent of the $25,000,000 capital stock, while 51 per cent of it is to be held by Mexicans. Most any body would "recognize" 11 million anywhere on earth. And we are to have an international horse race. This is one sport where there will be no color line to embarrass the promoters. (Continued From Page 1.) Norfolk. These are the leading white forces co-operating with such colored citizens as: Frank Avant, Dallas Chesnut, Foster Burnett, all physicians; Thomas Hooper, Rev. G. D. Carnes, A. J. Wilson; Dr. W. H. Moore, one of the leading ministers and John E. Taylor. Mr. Taylor has a state wide reputation for helping every real race movement. These forces have decided to make Wilmington a place to be sought rather than shunned. The slogan is Wilmington, and the ambition of the people is to make the town the leading resort on the southern shores. With such a working force as described above, there is no fear that Wilmington will lose her Negro population because of oppression, lawlessness or mob_violence. The names of the men stand for too much in the man permits even the suspicion that Negroes are out of North Carolina because of oppression. Already, the Wilmington program is being studied by other cities in the South, and steps are under contemplation to bring together er in every large city and community the best thought and judgment of the two races for the protection of southern liberty and southern industries. North Carolina has set the pace. Others are certain to follow. Inducement and not force, will keep the Negroes South, and laws will not be needed to keep labor agents away. MUSTN'T TALK ON ELEVATORS LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 6. — Everywhere in Los Angeles, where the elevators rise and fall at the touch of the operator's hand, both operators and patrons are due to get a shock soon when the new city ordinance forbidding unnecessary conversation with lift operators goes into effect. The ordinance was passed by the city council July 11 after complaints by dyspeptic business men that there was too much "chewing the rag" going on in downtown elevators. The law is construded to mean that if two persons step into an elevator together they may not chat with each other or with the operator. Only "Anti-Drys" Are Supposed To Read This CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 6.—Two East Side women have discovered that the new silver and gray gowns they have been wearing for nearly a month were burial shrouds that had been stolen from a freight car, and when told of it one nearly fainted. Two 15-year-old boys were sentenced for theft of eight shrouds, of which the two were part. Only "Anti-Dr Suppose Rescue Work Filming As the whoop of astonishment that the cold water, elicited from Jack reached their ears, they cut their anchor ropes, stuck their poles up to mark the spot and laid to the oars in a rescue scene worth filming. They raced a quarter mile, more or less, to the very wet-young man, striving to avert a tragedy, and arrived about the same moment, crews puffing but all set for the rescue. They grabbed Jack by anything that stuck out and hauled him aboard. That portion of Canada Lake which he had brought along in his knickerbockers, sweater, shirt and well, there is no point about disrobing him in print—anyhow, the water began to run down into his shoes which were already overflowing. He was wet. No doubt about that. Likewise cold. That was agreed after the first glance of inspection. "Say, wait a minute, buddy," said another of the group. "I've got something that will fix you, right." Hin Pocket, Aft. MR POCKET ART Hes reached into his starboard pocket, after I knew on the which a headwaater, on Broadway won fame as describing as the "pocket which bulges like a gentleman." Well, he reached into that pocket. Grasped something of the general shape and contour to hold half a quart bottle—say, of milk—without crowding. He pulled it out. Keep your seats, ladies and gentlemen. The show is not finished. Please don't crowd. He pulled out this here-now-gosh, it certainly is!—flask! He opened it. He pressed it to Jack's trembling lips. Jack gurgled his joy and swallowed rapidly that finally the owner gasped. "Guess it's about time for me to yell for help!" A look of perfect peace spread over Jack's face. "I'd fall in again for another drink like that," was his comment as he finally yielded the container with what was left of the spiritual succer it held. Still Falling In And, the Anti-Saloon League to the contrary, they do say that young men were falling in the lake all the rest of the day in the hope that they might be rescued the same way. But the proprietor of the flask had learned his lesson. It is reported that his last words before leaving the scene of his Samaritanism, was that he'd be darned if he'd offer that flask to anybody again unless the fellow was suffering from snake bite. Note: There are few snakes in that part of the woods. Moral: If you are dry, get wet. An alliance with England, with 45,000,000 people. But the new English policy of supporting the present weak Germany against the strong France, thus maintaining the balance of power and breaking up the entente, drives home the realization that any cooperation with Albion will always be to the sole advantage of Great Britain. Increase France's population to 100,000,000 through development of colonies, thus tripling its man power and its potential soldiery. Chance of Fourth A-fourth course may be created, if the proposed French cooperation with would Morocco is adopted which would give France stronger prestige in northern Africa through Spain's weight with the Sultan of Morocco, besides giving the Paris government a strong counterbalance in the Mediterranean against Great Britain and Italy. The league of nation's rules for a mandate prohibits the mandatory power from using natives of mandate territories as soldiers, except for protection of their homes, but this does not apply to pre-war colonies. want to be an inspiration to our boys and girls. I want them to have concrete evidence that anything is possible for them. "We knock each other too much. A white man can go to a Negro and talk about any other Negro he cares to, whether he be your friend or not. But you had better not try to talk to that white man about his friend! We must respect one another and one another's work. We cannot advance unless we take our brother with us. And, be sure, if he sinks we go under, too." By now a dozen persons were waiting to see Mr. Gibson and we reluctantly gave place. A man who owns the largest 'building on South street, who owns' the only Negro theater on Broad street, who has 200 employees, who is lord of a country home surrounded by 47 acres of lawns and gardens, who is a member of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, who pays out $40,000 a year for music in his theaters must needs be busy. The story is all over Canada Lake by this time so there is no reason why it should not be told especially since it is a legitimate news item in the rescue of a young man who had been sitting on a canoe and suddenly found himself seated in some of the coldest water that drains out of the Adirondacks in Fulton County. To begin with, he is a nice young man who happened to be upstate on a business trip over the weekend and be busy (for obvious reasons) he is particularly anxious that his boss shall not know of this adventure, he will be designated as Jack. Jack arose on Sunday with a good appetite both for food and excitement. The first was easily satisfied. The next not so easily. Despite the continue low water. There was plenty left in the lake-to float a canoe so he started out with a fine, manly stroke. Also with the wind. He didn't pay much attention to the wind until he started to turn around. Thereafter he gave it his undivided attention for several minutes. Despite his best efforts, however, he could not turn the canoe in the direction he wished to take, to return to the cottage. He was sitting in the stern, which raised the bow out of water. The wind did the rest. He turned the canoe all right, but he carried far. Then the wind took hold and tumbled in. The spectacle began to look like a round adrift but at about that stage of the proceedings Jack decided this foolishness had gone far enough. He dipped his paddle deep, and gave that canoe a real lift. Then he swung into the stroke again and whirled the shell around just as another fine gust of wind came swirling down from Kane Mountain. spruced out. He hadn't noticed it coming but he knew when it arrived, for with a very wet splash, look of varation, he found himself a spreadled out in Canada Lake which overdrew over and around his recumbent form as 10 feet of water, more or less, has a habit of doing, when anyone gives it a chance. He could swim so is took him but a moment to catch the drifting canoe. He lifted up his hand and grabbed it. Then he lifted up his voice and raised a few echoes, for he proceeded to tell the world that the nearest land was directly below and he didn't care about going that way. Some of the optimistic fishermen who think that by using a worm that the fish haven't previously seen, one of them may make a mistake some day and bite it, were holding the usual Sunday morning service just off the lily pads. Two boatfaults of them or boatfault as the case may be. IN dealing with any situation in the South colored people learned from experience that the more important a becomes—however beneficial to both races—the white neighbors relish it. They have also been taught theern public opinion that no matter how strong the Negro might be, if the colored views, in their final analysis,ter to some ancient or modern white grudge, prejudice nomic interest, the white conception will prevail—to open, inconsistent arguments, chicanery or violence. The groes know that it behooves them, when dealing with people in the South, to be as mild, gentle and unassim possible. If they wish to gain a point they must directly. The Tuskegee Hospital tangle is a splendid example this philosophy. We should like to be violent in our denunciation of body who opposes competent Negro doctors and nurses care of sick and disabled Negro war veterans, but we do not expedient at this time. Our reason for this slain that there is more to conserve by being careful and tactful by being rash and hasty. However much we may yearn universal recognition of the right of black people to themselves, we still run the risk of placing that much every day further away by wildly clamoring for it before our forces can sustain our contention. Strictly and plainly speaking we mean this: 1. The Tuskegee Hospital'was not built by colored—it is a gift. 2. Being a gift, it remains for the giver to name the of the gift. 3. If the gift is unacceptable it can only be returned thanks. Of course, we expect that our political economists count our first assertion with the argument that since are citizens and pay taxes they helped to build the law. This they prove by the Constitution. But we turn right and prove by the same Constitution that citizens of thisracy get what they want by the vote; then point out the groes residing in states adjacent to, and in the same which the Tuskegee Hospital is situated, have not hence they cannot get what they want from their government. Which makes the Tuskegee hospital a gift. Everyone will concede that when a donor wishes to in good faith, he will seek to please the fancies of those to receive of his bounty. Thus the Government promises gro personnel at Tuskegee: But if the Government take it could not keep its original promise, there was need for the receiver to do, but return the gift. Herein is where theory and practice part. Thea negro personnel would be the easiest and most logical to the whole affair. Practically that is another matter. the hospital was built a forgotten factor loomed. The ment of the white neighbors around the hospital, by which the Tuskegee Institute stands, had not been taken account. But even after this temperament is found here the new institution, it cannot and should not be torn down ever much the receiver may wish to return the gift to the An analysis of this hostile attitude to what seems the logical thing in the world to do, takes us back to the grudge which is the basic factor in the case. The prince's slavery was incidental to the South; its overthrow most affected the same section. To complete the revolution of the "bottom rail on top" was forced at the instance of the "bottom rail on top" was forced at the instance of the government. The hates created by this changing order in all died—nor will they all die for some years to come—frequently find an outlet in undue violence against the slaves. They are continually active in all forms of dissent and divers petty meannesses. The most flagrant and spicuous phase of this mass of deviltry is that the Federal errant is not allowed to intervene at any point where. Also equally as strong are these same forces committed to program of not allowing the Government to help the Negro any extended scale as well as not hinder or ward off and actual danger. The fact that the Government once ened an unwise experiment has forever set many against the plest rules of reason and the most practical working ships. So to abruptly turn the Tuskegee hospital over to Negroes, with its $60,000 monthly government roll, would not only be opposed to white individual economic rests, but would be contrary to Southern training and tion. But the hospital is built. What then? Knowing the ground of the people who surround the institution, and having their objections, and knowing further the limited means people have for enforcing any demands—it seems to us that sane to deal gently with the situation and effect the bestsible compromise. Some may outlaw a compromise, but know a part of what we want is better than nothing—in this case. It is only those who are far from the scene hospital fight that deliver dire threats and declaim on they would and would not do. Think of the height of the of suggesting that federal troops intervene when it is very same unwise course years ago that is the root of the present agitation. Think of asking Dr. Motton to when his only offense is that he has sought to retain by of calmness and quiet—(without surrendering anything Negroes universally grant, as he said in his business address)—what it took Booker T. Washington his whole build, and which is an outstanding achievement in American history. We do not like Southern ways of doing things, hence that section. We would advise anybody else in the South feels as we felt to do as we did. But for those who she won't sit at a vantage point in the North and counsel social policy which we know won't work. We say to Negro the South, fight your own battles in your own way. The not be fought by Negroes in the North, except indirectly, too often wild and unguarded statements tend to make a worse than no statements at all. "When in Rome, do Romans."
