Shocking Revelations of Hilarity and Licentiousness in "Black and Tan" Hotels Lead to Police Clean-Up Orders.
(Special to The Pittsburgh Courier)
CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 20.
Booze, dope, the mingling of all races in all sections of this city in the most despicable and unprintable of orgies!
This is the situation disclosed in an investigation into Cleveland's "black and tan" night life, which is being slowly wiped out in a relentless police war vice and immorality.
White girls are portrayed as selling their souls that colored slave masters might wax fat; American young women of both races are subdued and wished of foreign panders.
"Circuses," in which groups of girls and women staged grossly immoral performances for parties of men, many of them promiscuous in business and professional life, have been disclosed.
There are just a few of the obnoxious scenes: which are being revealed with a wealth of detail as the police, thoroughly, notwithstanding all moral demeany through the exposure by the Sunday Star head with every bit of the strategy and power they possess.
From A MARVEL LIFE
In the first part of the story, the police are in the midst of an investigation into the death of a woman from several salaries. By day are demure stammerers, stalked accountable, predeceased clerks, debts from families, socially prominent, males, witty men, martyrs, men of virtue, parvous men of deprivacy, to which there is seemingly no limit.
The Barbary coast is a mild and modest place compared to this "hotel." It is alleged that the manager herself is not above bartering her soul away to any "Dick Tom" or Harry."
Regardless of the habitue's vocation by day, the fair or dusky inhabitant or this den or immorality lets loose at night with every who she has in her, delving into the land of wicked dreams and idioticness.
A white girl, who wanted a room in this hotel, thinking that it was as advertised, gave a graphic word picture of some of the wild scenes heard and seen from the hotel, parades in the halls of the hotel, in which both girls and men were wont to walk the floors in a state of nudity. And the strangest part of the entire thing, acting as the "color line" is entirely wiped out in these places of iniquity. It is said that the girls who lure their willing victims are models of fashion and conduct and are born to be born. These girls of both races, with pretty imposted faces, play for high stakes.
Along Woodland Avenue, Scovill, Central, E. 40th Street, St. Clair Avenue, Payne Avenue, Super Avenue, and the last "colormobia" is even pronounced. The men and women of both races mingle in blaze disregard. White girls employed by colored slave women aster barter themselves to whatever happens along, their master or mistress, their establishment, their single eye and ex-colored palm to garner the pound of fish it is reported.
In some of the houses, however, on Prospect Avenue and Euclid Avenue, the women and girls are of "high class." They are snappy, dressed, exacting, especially for companions, but horribly indifferent to their conduct in the privacy of their bellish rooms.
Girls Stage "Eve" Dances
From Prospect avenue, the investigation leads to Payne avenue, in the very heart of the "black and tan" district. In one house, booze and cocaine form the chief article of trade, while rooms are provided as amorous retreats for visitors, some of the girls being more school children not more than fourteen or fifteen years old. The "star boy" is a hired man. The pianist, and it is said that he plays the instrument while some of the girls, ranging in age from sixteen to thirty dance: "Strip poker" sessions are quite the vogue. The players do in course, play for keeps, for the joys of life. The losers strip themselves of such wearable apparel as they have.

If the North Carolina Governor Pinchot, allows the mob to come into Pennsylvania, take an innocent man away and deliver him to the North Carolina officials, then the state does not afford safety, because the mob has been given a fine precedent for Governor Pinchot, to follow. They are Governor Allen of Kansas, Governor Grosback of Michigan and Governor McCall of Massachusetts. They are fused to seek the truth of the tradition, and they were commended and applauded for their stand.
History of McCoy Case
McCoy according to all available evidence is innocent of the crimes, and this fact is attested to because of the wagon, which was being drawn along the road by Beard's horse. The dead man was discovered when the wagon got to the edge of the road, where the principals in the traced lived.
The fire of excitement was quickly fanned into, a destructive, blaze when bloodbounds, put on the trail of the wagon, traced it back to the home of Ned Morgan, a colored man. Immediately, thoughts of lynching began. When Morgan's wife was questioned as to where her husband's abstention was located, they were informed that the gun had been loaned out to another to hunt rabbits.

U. N. I. A. Head Released When $25,000 Bail Is Reduced $10,000 Followers Assemble to See Him Step From Tombs.
BULLETIN !
(Special to The Pittsburgh Counter)
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Marcus Garvey, U. N. I. A.
president, released from the
Tombs last Monday under
$15,000 bail, $10,000 of
which was paid in cash, began
his great fight for real
freedom here Wednesday,
when, with the aid of his
lawyers, he began summing
up evidence for his appeal.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—(K. N. F.
Service)—Accompanied by his law-
er, George (George) Battle, Marcus
Garvey reaped from behind the iron
Tombs to temporary
freedom on Monday evening. Only a
handful of his followers were present
to welcome him. Cash bonds of $15,
000 were put up with a balance of
$10,000 secured by bonds and rei-
n estate.
After a confinement of nearly three months in the Tombs, Marcus Garvey, Provisional Ruler of Africa, was permitted to walk the streets of Harlem again pending the appeal of the judge. The judge duce $25,000 bail and Judge Manton accepted $15,000 on application of his attorney.
Bok, which was denied by Judge Mack, Judge Rogers and other Federal judges, was finally granted upon recommendation of United States Attorney Hayward to Judge Mack, who tabled the order from Palestine. Because of the non-extractable nature of the offense some difficulty is being experienced in getting a bondman.
When ball was signed by Judge Manton on August 31, the services of the Fidelity Deposit Co., were first enlisted. This company demanded $10,000 cash and the remainder in securities. Liberty Hall was offered, it is said, but on reading the charter it was discovered that the property belongs to the U. N. I. A. and could not be used as security for any individual. The Rev, W. W. Brown, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church who holds a heavy mortgage on Liberty Hall, was next

approached for the $15,000. He, it is said, agreed to give the necessary securities in cash and property for a further lien on Liberty Hall, but Mrs. Garvey, it is said, objected to putting any further debt on Liberty Hall; whereupon the deal fell through.
U. N. I. A. to raise Money
The uber of the U. N. I. A. then decided, it is said, to raise the $25,000 in the organization and save the bondman's fee. On Sunday, a week ago, an apical was made to the members at Liberty Hall, whereupon $10,000 was subscribed—$7,200 in cash, and the remainder in I. O. U. s., which were paid the following day. All divisions of the associations were also notified, and it was expected that the total sum would be raised not later than Tuesday morning. The bonding firm now hauling the matter is the New Amsterdam Casualty Co., 60 John street.
Further Reduction Possible
The bonds were first fixed at $50,000 by Judge Manton, but were later reduced to the present sum. Garvey's counsel, George Gordon Battle, is making a further attempt to reduce it to $15,000.
Garvey was sentenced last June to five years in the penitentiary at Atlanta and to pay a fine of $1,000 and the cost of the trial for using the mails to promote the fradulent concern. Baul was refused at request of Assistant District Attorney N. Natuck, who told Judge Mack that he had evidence to prove that Garvey's followers were arming themselves.
The stockholders of the Black Star Line lost nearly $1,000,000. Government accountants examining the books of the corporation found the total assets were $31.42 in cash and less than $250,000 in worthless investments.

MANGHESTER, Ga., Sept. 20.—According to a survey made by Mr. Jones S. Peters, of Manchester, Ga., president of the Georgia Bankers' Association, the loss this year to Georgia alone, through the migration of Negroes, will approximate the huge sum of $27,000,000, or an amount that would have permitted the expenditures by the state of nearly $175,000 for colored schools in each of the 155 counties.

Article Remarking on New Trend in Banking World May Have Far-Reaching Effect.
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 20—Recognition of the great wisdom of the remark made by Heman Perry, head of the group of important financial institution operated by Colored People, to the effect that he thought the adoption of the suggested new policy in the banking world to require persons seeking credit to protect their applications by carrying sufficient insurance to power their entire indebtedness in case of dent, meant more to the Colored people of the United States than to any other particular 'group as it appears in the group which is just beginning to come around, of course in a large way, acknowledged by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who served as Secretary of the National Negro Business League for twenty odd years, in a letter just received from him by Mr. Perry.
In the letter to Mr. Perry, Dr. Scott saffis "There certainly is great wisdom in the remark you are credited in the news article appearing in a large number of colored newspapers, with having made in a meeting of your Executive Committee the control of the affairs of the great group of business enterprises headed by you."
"I congratulate you upon having given expression to this important trend in the banking world. Such a suggestion . . . coming from you will have far-reaching results in the economic life of the colored people of the United States.

unlike its predecessors, has been mostly composed of the better-type of citizenry from the farm and small city who has been planning on the move for a long time. The legislators at-Montgomery have slapped a whopping fee on labor agents, and many sections they have been run out.
That "Changing South"
Leading citizens are speaking of "the changing south." Much has been done in the cities of Mississippi and Alabama in improved sanitation of the colored sections and the disease and death rates have been greatly down typhoid and have made sections like the Yazoo delta hnbitated by whites.
In a ten mile tour from Memphis to mobile this writer has been accosted by only two mosquitoes, which tells the story. But as one drives through the colored sections he is impressed with the squator, even distinguished by sunshine. The cabins in the town average, seem by stack up well with the shacks of white farmers in many sections of the west, but in the cities one is impressed with the lack of ordinary improvements such as decently paved streets. Many white leaders say streets will be the next improvement and that, next to schools, pavement will help anchor the colored population.
Oppose "Jim Crowism"
Growing attention, too, is being paid to the complaints against "Jim Crowism." The races will always be segregated on the street cars and railroad trains, but some are now beginning to say that the Negro ought to be given the chance to the dirt and a decent coach to travel in, inasmuch as he pays the same fare as the white.
"We've got to keep the bulk of the Negroes," said one citizen. "The South is changing. The old slaves have about died out and one rarely nowadays sees the fine old type of Negroism is different, more radical. The servants now all want to live in their own homes; they insist on the right of opportunities for self-development. Hence the gradualetterment of schools. Whites See Tuskegee Need. Whites See a people disliked the idea of Tuskegee because of the old idea that ignorant workers were better than those with schooling, they would be more content as workers—now the south is realizing that improvements in Tuskego as a race mean in education. In self-apprehaching, "the stage where our agriculture will have to be put on a modern basis if it is to be profitable."

Ku Klux Mob Rule Upheld By Minister
Ku Klux Mob Rule Upheld By Minister
YORK, Pa., Sept. 20—"Why the Ku Klux Klan?" This question was the theme of an address last week in the Bethlehem Evangelical Church by the Rev. C. B. Curtgastress, who took 'pains' to explain that he was not an apologist for the Klan, but that he simply was presenting reasons for the development of the organization. Here are the reasons he gave: 1. Movies, which give their patrons a distorted view of life and quench a desire for spiritual development. 2. Automobiles, which have done some good but more evil. 3. Growing disregard for law and constituted authority. 4. Grafting, inner-circle clique of politicians, the "constituted authority and the makers of law," who, by their own example, encourage law-breakers. 5. "Sporting" by men of other men's wives.
The pastor declared that the Klan is more feared than the law. While he professed to deploy mob rule and lynchings he said the law could not prevent crime as reason, as the fear lynchmen from the limb of a tree on a lonely read. He said: "There is an element that will respect the vision of a rope in the hands of an angry mob more than volumes of law stacked on the / bible laws stacked on the / "Disregard for la w and authority is stalking boldly up the aisles of the church."
Married Woman Is Held For Shooting Unwelcome Suitor
NEW YORK, (Sept. 20—Mary Allen was locked up in the Richmond County jail on a charge of felonious assault last week; after Philip Alexander was remanded from her home village, to the Staten Island Hospital with three bullet wounds in his right side and arm.
The prisoner grit said that Alexander was an unwelcome suitor and that she had warded him Friday night not to visit her again. When he arrived at her-home Tuesday afternoon she said she tried to persuade him to go away, but that he insisted on entering the house on the prisoner's pallet on the table. The prisoner said she picked up the weapon and, that Alexander tried to take it from her. She asserted that the pistol was discharged accidentally, wounding Alexander. Then the woman sent a 10-year-old daughter to the police. At the pallet it wigs said, Alexander could probably recover.

American 'Colorphobia' Is Criticized By French
Police Shut Down Places
Where Race Men Were
Ejected on Complaint of
Yankee Tourists
(Crusader Service)
PARIS, Sept. 20—The French are so astounded by their discovery of anti-Negro prejudice among white Americans that they are still sputtering. To them it is inconceivable—fantastic—that a man whose skin happens to be white should object to the company because he was born to be black.
When French newspapers told how Americans at Montmartre night resorts rose immediately at their tables and shouted angrily for the manager to "throw out" two Negroes who had taken places, the French public was widowed at Paris in 1914. Then they were furious when it was explained what it meant.
There seems to be very little acquaintance with the history of the anglo-saxon attitude toward the Negro prejudices' in America. The French had joined with the anglo-saxons in first robbing Africa of her children and later robbing the Africans of their land and liberties.
Aged Man Is Cleared Of Assault Charge
CHICAGO, Sept. 20—Miss Bessie Lyles, 3102 Indiana avenue, had Frank Gray, 59 years old, employee of the American Wrecking Co. at 12th and Michigan avenue, arrested last Tuesday for alleged rape. According to the stories of both Grey and Miss Lyles the latter had been a frequent caller at Greys place of employment. On this occasion she was there to bring the aged man lunch. After each trip the man was asked to provide, with the result that Miss Lyles usually left with all the money. But on this occasion fate was with the old man and he won all Miss Lyle's money.
Miss Lyles called n the police and had Grey arrested on the charge that he had attacked her bodily. Judge Trude dismissed the case after Miss Lyles called n the police must keep away from Grey's place of employment.

But French exploitation of darker people is based merely upon the weakness of the darker people and not upon their color. The French exploit all colors where they can, as witness their present exploitation of the German workers in the Ruhr. When the before, France freed her hands, the French exploited the matter. Unlike the ango-saxons, the French had no phrasal attitude to maintain, no fake morality to pose before the world. The ango-saxons, however, being so often and easily moved to great bursts of morality, indulged in the persecution by others, had to go to the trouble of advancing a reason for their exploitation and enslavement of the Negro race, and feverishly called upon Bible and science to prove the inferiority of this race, in the effort to secure the race against it. Moral justification! That is what the ango-saxons seek for all their crimes against weaker peoples. Just let them be able to find the thinnest grounds for moral justification and they are compelled to satisfy them, however, and strongly object to anglo-saxons importing their home prejudices into French territory.
Wife Gets Writ For Ring Hubby Gave Girl
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—After a little detective work, Mrs. Lucy Mitchell discovered that her husband, Joseph Mitchell, 42 W. 30th street, had given a diamond ring belonging to her. to Miss Lucile Johnson, the daughter of the late Mrs. Mitchell's lawyer, Attorney Richard E. Westbrooks;
Mrs. Mitchell then had the Johnson girl tried before a church court, as she is extremely active in church work. Miss Johnson was repriemanded the church chair and is said to have agreed to return the ring. She failed, to keep her word, however, and the irate wife filed suit against her husband's lover. Balliffs with a writ for the ring are now seeking Lucia. The case is scheduled for trial by Judge Schwaba on September 20.

The abduction is one of the most baffling mysteries that has happened in this old staid city for many years.

It indeed belongs to those in the fold of Spiritualism to witness the decided change, the trend and mind of the populace, people of keen perception, investigators of high intellect, even the masses observe a new awakening, all conscious things including Creeds, Dogmas, and Theology, are being weighed and found wanting; yes, they can be likened to the salt that has lost its savor. These systems founded on faith do not satisfy the hungry soul and are not sufficient for the thirst. People who are not aware of the sinister influences, like the sin -hat so easily beats, cannot withstand the mind in the making. Infants are contented with what is given them for a certain period, but are they grown to accept experiences extrainduces, and knowledge increases. They will not accept the standards given them in infancy. The child of today does not countenance a Santa Claus or the like. they have outgrown these limitations who is abreast with t:imes and conditions of today; will not for a moment by any overtures, accept or purchase an obsolete dwelling with hydrant on the outside and no conveniences on the inside and no certain dems, saying I want a residence with all modern residences. With these conditions material in life prevailing, so are conditions spiritually. People of earth will not accept the doctrines of man as to the greater extent than to the lesser ones, his might follows the dictates of his God- given conscience. He then is free. Modern Spiritualism in enunciation invites the sincere truth seeker, has that unfailing faith that will not shrink though oppressed by fear, knowing that the truth of life is infinitely whole. Rev. Charles G. Mundell, Oakland, California; Rev. C. W. Shaw, Portland, Oregon; Rev. C. M. De Goller, Mayor of Bradford, who are almost persuaded awaken to decision, let that sunlight in your very self banish doubt and fear, sorrow and sighing will flee instantly, the lost chord will have been found, and your heart will be awakened. There is no death.

Smith rescued the Hackensack Board of Education from an embarrassing predeath with Miss Nellie Morrow, a newly appointed teacher, to take charge of backward colored pupils in the State Street school, and thus save the board the necessity of assigning the program to children. Petitions signed by some 1,500 parents were to be presented the board at its meeting held Monday, the day before reopening of the schools, protesting a colored teacher being placed in charge of white pupils.
It is said the local Ku Klux Klan had been active in a quiet way in connection with these petitions, but hundreds of mothers with no thought about the war were active. Miss Morrow is competent and there was nothing personal in the opposition. Her color was the only issue. She passed the necessary examination, and was placed on the board. She was also the board. The board was compelled to appoint her according to law, and could not evade the problem.
NEW YORK; Sept. 20—Mrs. Ann Lynch, 38 years old, a colored woman living in the year of a dry goods store, died in her floor of a five story tenement house at 322 Easl.

Patrolman O'Grady went through the building, and aroused the tenors not knowing, there were living quarters in the rear of the store.

"When love rejected turns to hate

Rudyard Kipling
Mr. Kipling with these words of

with John Gilbert in the title role,

novel, "If Winter Comes," which will
also be a Fox special.
St. Elmo's personality highly
charged with moods and quick tem-

violence.
When in the photoplay St. Elmo comes unexpectedly upon his sweet-heart in the arms of the man he hithertobefore considered his best friend; when he hears his sweetheart planning to marry one of his friends by means of his money; when he hears this—the flaming passion, of St. Elmo's love for this-girl changes to bitter, disillusioned hatred of her, of his friends, of everything he'dear, "Then ill-betide the man," warned Kipling, when love rejected turns to love, "Then ill-betide the man," loved.

The blackmailing gang, learning that the packet is in the hands of P-very, sends an emissary to Beverly's home, where he steals a valuable string of pearls given to Beverly by her husband. Clo takes up the trail which leads to the Blackmailers' hangout. Hiring a room alongside, she bores a hole in the wall and discovers where the pearls and the package have been hidden. In answer to her call for help, Justin O'Reilly, who has fallen in love with her, goes to her rescue. finding the coast clear, she enters the room and secures possession of the pearls, which she is about to throw to O'Reilly on the street, when the gang returns.
There is a scuffle and a pistol shot. Clo is wounded. The pearls and the packet are then delivered to Beverly. The next night at a fashionable lawn party given by the Sands, the black-mailers again make an effort to regain the lost packet, but they are frustrated by Clo and the police. Explanations are made, Clo and O'Reilly are married and the threatened catastrophe of the Sands matrimonial bark is averted.

dreamy bit of femininity.
It is her sincerity, her trust, his love for her that enables St. Elmo to wage a vicious fight with his bitterness and hatred of people. The great suspense maintained as the man fights the "devil within him" makes of this William Fox screen version of Augustus Evans's romance a photoplay of unusual power.
Supporting John Gilbert is Barbara La Marr, entrusted with the rest of the wrestler's faithlessness starts the plot wheels to revolve; Bessie Love as Edna Earle, whose faith and sincerity and love are the deciding factors in St. Elmo's life; Warner Baxter, Nigel De Bruller and Lydia Knott.

Short Cuts
Warsaw papers consider favorably the proposition of the French government to colonize the overflow of Polish population in Africa. The determination of the United States to restrict immigration into this country from foreign countries until its own labor is fully included and employed in its industries causes the Poles to seek other outlets.

lapses. The animal lunges at him, but suddely stops, held back by some stavistic impulse—that of his dog ancestors.
Man and dog become friends that winter. On one day, while resting a shot pixieces Gabrielle's arm, the figure emerges from the wood. The dog rushes at him, but the would-bombassin escapes, leaving part of the scarf with the dog.
With spring, Galloway, having designs on Felter, tells her Gabrielle has perished. When the trapper re-opens the post, he is furious. Learning of the scarf episode, he orders his henchman, the "Fox," to make away with the dog.
To offset strapicion piling against him, Galloway has the "Fox," plant a compromising letter in Gabrielle's house. The dog has escaped, discovers the "Fox" in the act and makes short work of him.
Gabrielle, entring, finds the dog cowering, block covered, and thinking the baby killed in jealousy, angrily beats the de- who sets out for the pack. Gabrielle allows to bring him back, meets Galloway, who attacks her. The dog rushes at Galloway, hurting him over a cliff after a fierce but brief struggle. Police are seated in light before the fireside, thinking of old times, when a barking is heard. They open the door to admit the wolf-dog who assured of a welcome, goes out and returns with five puppies and mates. And renamed, all make a happy household.

Many Will Greet Harmonious Williams' Singers At Carnegie Music Hall, October Eighth
THERE is much exultation! The musical, literary and "otherwise" are giving more than passing interest to the filled coming of the world famous Williams Singers, at Bergenie Music Hall, Monday evening, October 8th, under the auspices of Bethesda Presbyterian Church. The title "world famous" is not exaggerated, for every nook and corner of America and leading countries of Europe live heard and given praise to this troup of artists.
Charles Williams, himself; the Johnsons, and the musical basso. Crabbe, have been the center of a program in grand opera, sentimental, popular and jubilee songs which have charmed the most fastidious.
Chairman Samuel Parr, of 38 Mason street, requests friends who desire to secure choice reservations to purchase tickets at the following business places before the end of the last few days preceding the event:
Pure Drug Co., 2178 Center Avenue; Fowler's Pharmacy, 2450 Wylie Avenue; Crampton's Pharmacy, 1403 Gile Avenue; Strobo Pharmacy, 3350 Penn Avenue; Modern Ideal Co., 221 Brushton Avenue; Hancher's Conditionery, 7806 Frankstown Avenue; Lincoln Drug Co., 26 Frankstown Avenue, and Pearce Pharmacy, 6407 Frankstown Avenue.
[Image of a woman with a serene expression, wearing a dark dress and a headband.]
Human history and experience have taught us that many persons believe that a head of naturally long and beautiful hair, a healthy scalp and a lovely smooth complexion come from luck, but they do not. Constant care and the frequent use of preparations of proven merit are the secrets.

Farewell Dance Given
Miss Olla Burgoyne entertained at a beautifully appointed breakfast dance in the spacious dining room of the Hotel Calloway on Friday morning in honor of the Shuffle Along Company, who have just completed a two-weeks engagement in a downtown playhouse. The "blue room" of the hotel was very uniquely decorated in the colors worn by the leading stars of the company, confetti, balloons and serpentine making the affair take on the aspect of a festival rather than a breakfast dance. Covers were laid for more than 50. Among the members of the company who were present were Misses Spencer, Gee, Mitchell, May Fannie, McVler, Baker, McGlucken, Shephere, Prime, Simms, Kane, Shapley, Robinson; Mesdames Mattle Mills, Fannie Brown; Messrs, Russell Smith, Johnson, King, Payton Lew, I. H. Browning, Jones, Davis, our own Lois Depee and Sellers Hall. Mr. Blake peeped in on the party for a few minutes only. Mr. Sissle, due to an unprecedented call was unable to attend, but sent card of regret. After a very delightful breakfast, dancing was indulged in until noon.

They say that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link; and if this truth applies to the chain of manners, then we are no better-bred than we would indicate by the way we behave at breakfast in the bosom of our own family. For every one's breakfast manners are: his worst and a good many people forget that manners, like charity, begins at home. There are some otherwise very well-mannered persons, who simply can't show much courtesy or considerateness to others. They are particularly that come to breakfast in a sort of a daze and don't really entirely awake from their night's slumbers till after the morning meal. From such persons an-extra effort is required if they would strengthen this weakest link.

One thing that you should remember when a guest at a friend's breakfast board. You will probably be asked how you passed the night. Now, don't imagine for an instant that this is to be taken as an invitation for you to tell just how much or how little you slept. If you had odd dreams occasionally by sleeping in a strange bed you had better keep it well, thank you. It is quite enough swer to this courteous inquiry, and it may be given without guilt of having told an actual falsehood even when you have not slept as well as you might have done at home.

Pretty Atlantic City Girl Favors Fall Styles—Says "Brown for the Browns."
"Mary, Mary, slightly airy, How do the fashions go? Short, bobbed hair, shoulders bare, And vertebrae all in a row."
And Mary is right! The Herald of Fashion has opened the style salon for fall and here—the stunning faux suits, suit, and trouser create a funny mix of surprise and prompt appreciative applause. In Atlantic City, last week Miss Maggie Crisswell, pictured here, was declared America's most, fashionable colored girl, and she like the "Mary" in our poem is a firm believer in bobbed hair and just the "correct" clothes. "Dame Fashion is a hard taskmistress." Miss Crisswell says, "and her edicts are considered.binding."
As "Miss Arctic Avenue" in the big pageant at the great resort, Miss Crisswell showed off to stylish advantage some of the charmingly fashioned costumes which seemed to enhance the richness of her brown complexion and the grace of her slender form.
Plethora of Styles
Fashion news his this to say:
There is a very plethora of styles for milady to choose from, in every class of garment which she may be called on to wear. About the only style which is not in evidence is the very abbreviated skirt.
As to colors, with the possible exception purple, which has not been seen the last year, there is secrely one shade which cannot be worn with the assurance that it has scraped into the fashionable class somewhere or other.
Navy, black and gray colors for hats, cloaks, coats and suits usually are fashion's standbys and are here this year. Fashion experts will tell that "leaf shades" are very popular. This allows a regular kaleidoscope of colorings, from the pale lemon, down through the reds and oranges and browns, to a color which had its inspiration, the designers say, in Central Africa, "tete de negre", a dark brown hinting at black. In red, the red, tremulous thins of green, bold shades of yellow and harmonic hues of blue give coloring to those who want variety.
Skirt Length Varies
While most gowns and skirts are long, many ankle length, there is a great range of styles. Some michels are long and narrow, while others are full. Embroideryles, motifs and trimmings of bright colors, in many cases consisting of metal ornaments, are much favored in dresses. For, street wear, wraps, coats, dresses and three-piece outfits present many instances that fur-trimmed garments, will be the thing.

Wins Second Leg On Magnificent Cup; Hubbard Gets Trophy
Edgar Thomson "Ace" Runs Entire Race Under Handicap—Breaks Own Record for 22-Mile Course by Eight Minutes. DeHart Takes Three Firsts.
(Special to The Pittsburgh Courier)
DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 20—Running against Fate, a field of the very cream of marathoners, and overcoming almost unsurmountable difficulties, R. Earl Johnson, of Pittsburgh, national five-mile champion and conceded Olympic entrant for this country, ran to a glorious victory last Saturday in the Detroit News marathon.
In winning the 22-mile race, Johnson broke his own record for the course, completing the distance in two hours and nine minutes, exactly eight minutes faster than the time in which he won the race two years ago. In winning Sat-
today, Johnson obtained a second
leg on the handsome $300 trophy,
to be given to the first person
winning the marathon three times.
Hubbard Wins Trophy
Scintillating with equal brilliance in the track and field events, DeHartubbard, youthful phenom from the University of Michigan, and holder of the A. A. U. broad jump, won the individual trophy, when he garnered the jump, the jump and the 100-yard dash. No greater all-round and more versatile athlete has ever performed here than Hubbard, and his achievements last Saturday marked the crowning event which is chosen with noteworthy performances. From the Penn Relays, held in Philadelphia, April, through the A. A. U. meet in Chicago and the Wilco games in New York, Hubbard's star has been with noteworthy performances with more brilliance than in more Saturday's contests, when he came to his greatest heights.
Handicapped Before Start
Johnson was handicapped before the start of the race, inasmuch as he had lost his shoes, and reached Detroit only after two nights riding on train, just in time to participate in Johnson's bag was lost in Chicago, and he was unable to purchase shoes either in New York or Pittsburgh. last week he took a trip to Hammond, Va. when his mansion, Leaving there Thursday night, he arrived in Pittsburgh Friday afternoon. Leaving Pittsburgh Friday night, he hit here Saturday morning, still without his marathon shoes.
Unable to purchase a pair suitable for him, Johnson bought a pair of baseball shoes and cut the spikes. With this as a handicap, he started the race. Forced to Quit
Quickly assuming the lead, Johnson, with that "close to the ground" section, so characteristic of his stride, soon amassed a comforting trio to the chars of race with whom he is a prime favorite.
About the fifth mile the shoes begin to give him trouble. He pluckily continued, however, until the eleventh mile, when blistered, would allow him to continue. Obtaining a knife from a spectator, Johnson proceeded to demolish the shoes, cutting them almost apart, and then placing inner soles in their tunnels. The tunnels who finished second and third, had overtaken and passed him, the men were almost a mile ahead, as Johnson again started out. Onookers, who saw the pain that he was in, conceded that he and no chance.
Passes Up Rivals
Then began the hardest part of the race. Johnson knew that somewhere in the distance his two competitors were forging steadily ahead. Again falling into that ground-covering pace, he realized that he was pickup in the field and a great burst of speed, with plaudits of hundreds ringing in his ears, the Edgar Thomson runner passed the men in the nineteenth mile. From then on, the race was Johnson's, and he finished over 200 yards in front of his nearest opponent.
Johnson will go on the 1924 Olympic, unless he breaks a leg or somewhat like that. And it is said that the will enter in three events, the 0,000 metre the cross-country run and the marathon.
That Johnson won the race is all important when one considers the fact that he had not run in a race over five miles since last Thanksgiving.

Chicagoans Come From Behind to Win 10-6 From Squares in Elimination Game.
CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 15—Crawling along on the short and of a 6 to 1 score in their half of the sixth inning, with the umpire seemingly refusing to give any sort of a fair decision on balls and strikes unless Rile cut the heart of the plate during the early part of the game and acting the same with Diana Johnson, the American Giants came to life with Grant doubled in the eighth with the scoring two runs. Then come the home eighth in which Johnson wiggled through, three up and three down.
The Giants half of the ninth was one of the wildest ever seen at the Logan Square park; and put, the white boys down another notch in the elty semi-pro championship series. The rally by dumping a Cincinnati hit into right, Gardner was safe on an error at first, DeMoss walked, Torrienti hit a home run into the center field bleachers. Kenyon came along and doubled to the score board. Marlarcher walked, Grant sacrificed Kenyon, Williams single scored Kenyon, Williams' batting for the second time in the same inning, beat out a hit, while Brown scored. Williams pulled up at third. Lysons stole second to make it a good day's work. Gardner, in an attempted squeeze game in foul territory and Williams was doubled before he could get back to third. The Giants took the field, with Owens pitching. Owens fanned the first batter, a single, an error and a walk filled the bases. Owens set Dennis down on strikes and the batting for the pitcher, missed the third one by a foot. SCORE: RHE.

Any knockouts over Sam Langford and than a record, which carries knocko Firpo. We do not care to try to win. Whil his thumb pulse do not other Friday, but aimed in smash snight tiger slug, set in his style, who his guard or to clinch. Trying to to thing other than slug is like teaching to absorb any of the fine points of other asset. Dempsey will be able while Firpo is a colorful figuristics are bound to appeal to the attraction, the real fight fans want. And though the big press ballyhoo pion, knows full well, that he is bided and abetted in his program by might not be a bad idea for Wills some of the Bill Brennans, Billy Muds and trial horses during the con to keep before the public. Knocking towards getting a chance at a chan judge can issue.
'Nip' Winters Ball For Ea Only To Los
Now that Tex Rickard, Jack Kearns, et al., have gathered the 1923 Lemon Crop, and have put over the big harvest of dollars, it will be interesting to note just how much sincerity the gang will show towards the oft-expressed desire to give Harry Wills a chance at the big dough. We will have to consider the fact that the champion has too much ability to be afraid of any one, but as The Courier has contended right along, it was "business" that kept Wills from his chance. Wills will undoubtedly be the most dangerous opponent Dempsey has ever met, and the gang reckons that it is the height of folly to tackle something dangerous to the reason of losing a Dollar asset, because the champion is proved to be too successful, results could be achieved without danger of placing the title in jeopardy.
Press dispatches now claim that Rickard is trying to match Firpo and Wills for next year, the winner to meet Dempsey. THIS looks about right, as each bout represents a Milhon-Dollar gate, out-of-doors.
After watching the fight of last Friday evening between Dempsey and the other team, he said, "I'm not in the same way as I did before I would afford a much better fight for the simple reason we do not believe Wills would elect to slug with either of them, but would, on the other hand, fight the scientific, cool, crafty battle, of which he is capable. Wills has more height than Dempsey, not as much speed, more rench, is a better boxer, knows as many tricks, is just as resourceful, and while his punches are more than the most, they have more weight than the other team as his long record will attest. Any heavyweight who has in his record knockouts over Sam Langford and Kid Norfolk, has more to his credit than a record, which carries knockouts over Brennan, Willard, Miske and Firpo. We do not care to try to take anything away from the champion, but will say that the only good man he has fought was Tommy Gibbons, who has won the coefficient advantage, except knowledge. And knowledges available much is the right to run for a raving over the bull-dog courage of Firpo, we are of the opinion that he will never be able to be taught enough to defeat Dempsey. We take this view for the reason that, had Dempsey elected to fight the Argentine instead of slugging with him, Firpo would need to have a underock on the champion, with s�shity as he was. Dempsey made no effort to either on the back, ducking the best of the team Friday, but aimed every smash right for the old button. Firpo is a primitive slugger, set in his style, who does not have sense enough to put up his guard or to clinch. Trying to teach a fighter of this type to do anything other than slug is like teaching an elephant to Tango. If he is able to absorb any of the fine points of defense, he will certainly lose on his own assets. The same time he is able to beat Firpo just as often as he is called to, to meet him.
While Firpo is a colorful figure, whose whims and peculiar characteristics are bound to appeal to the gullible and make of himself a big attraction, the real fight fans want to see Wills and Dempsey in action. And though the big press ballyhoo is liable to be bought off, the champion, knows full well, that he is being accused only of ducking Wills, aided and abetted in his program by the big papers of the East. And the indoor games do not compare with the big outdoor stuff, it might not be and idea for Wills to take a hand at bounding to pulp some of the Bill Brennans, Billy Miskes and the long list of heavyweight dubs and trial horses during the coming winter to keep his hands in and to keep before the public. Knocking out a long list of dubs will do more towards getting a chance at a championship than all the injunctions six judges can issue.

Gaiton then socked one over second base, which Warfield managed to knock down but could not field. Miller then beat out a slow roller along the third base line and, with the bases loaded, Peterson came through with a single to left,

"Leonard Not In Class With Gans"--Nelson
By James J. Lang
(In the Pittsburgh Sun)
OLD RING FANS OBJECT
Many veteran boxing fans will take vigorous exception to the asser-
tion that Johnny Dundee was Johnston, formerly manager of Ted (Kid) Lewis and other prominent
boxers and no wmatchmaker for the Cromwell Athletic Club, which promotes big biceps show at the new
statement for the press Johnston declared that Johnny Dundee was a much greater fighter than Terry McGovenn ever had been, and that Benny Leonard was by just as wide a man superior to Joe Gans at his best.
Those who know Johnston and the ways of modern fight promoters are not willing, to believe that Jimmy was sincere in this statement. It is just possible that he was only trying to boost the Leonard-Duncee schedule for late Wednesday night, and, as subsequent developments showed, it needed even boosting that it got, as for various reasons not made clear—no doubt one of them was a distressingly small advance sale—the affair had to be postponed until September 27. Moreover, there were some who took his remarks seriously, and, needless to say, Johnston quickly became the target for a lot of stinging criticism. For instance, one scribe reports that when he repeated Johnston's remarks about McGoventry to Patsy Haley, the old-time battler, who was twice knocked out by McGoventry, had a suggestion of Dundee's being in the same class with McGoventry gave him a brainstorm.
Then the remark about Leonard and Gans was repeated to Kid McPartland, another topnotch miller of the Gans, who might be might of Gans. McPartland is quoted as saying, "You aren't serious, are you? Because, if you are, the present generation is more goofy than I thought it was." The insinuator the reply made once by Battling Nelson, when he was asked about the relative merits of Leonard and Gans. "Don't ask me again," said Nelson. "Gans sees me up, some, I am no longer to stand with his memory insulted."
Nelson put it rather strongly, for the average fight follower realizes that it is an honor, not an insult, for Gans or any one else to be compared with Leonard. Benny is really a great fighter and one worthy of being compared with the best champions of the past, even if he cannot be called superior to them, but Nelson is more famous than Nelson and McPayland, like the manager which Haley received the report of Johnston's remarks, reflects, the sentiments of the general public on the question.
It is silly to compare Dundee with McGovern. One of the most wonderful fighting machines of all time in any class, Terryible Terry was a brilliant defender. He was readily realized when you look back over the caliber of modern boxers whom Dundee has fought and how he fared with them, and then recall that McGovern beat George Dixon in eight rounds, Oscar Gardiner in nine rounds, and Frank Irwin in three, Eddie Santry in five, Harry Forbes in two, Patsy Haley in one, Sammy Kelly in five, Kid Broad in six, Tommy White in three, Joe Bernstein-in seven and Tommy Murphy in one, to say not more victories, over men like Dave Sullivan and others in longer periods.
As for Gans, all that he did during his heyday was to beat such men as Battling Nelson, Frank Erne, Spike Sullivan, George McFadden, Jimmy McFadden, and John Burn, Fitzgarland, Eddie Connelly, Rufe Turner, Mike (Twin) Sullivan, Dal Hawkins, Jack Daly, Spiker Kelly, Billy -Bilr; Mike Leonard, Martin Judge, Otto Sielow, Tammy Smith, Gatherer, Tommy Sielow, Gatherer, Tommy Sielow, weights worthy of the name. Leonard has not had any bunch like that to compete with, so that the assertion that he is better than Gans is rather fetched. But imagine a man who has Leonard at his peak! That probably would be worth going a block or two to witness.

The stellar Union back of the ranks, but several players will attempt to fill many competently. Julius better of Concord, Virginia, Boston Engl and all-scolastical of New England, and Harrington back of Cusinning will probably give the team for a berth on the Washington this year!

Harrisburg Giants In Big City Series
Club Has Made Formidable Record—Copped 16 Out
of Last 21 games Played
HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept. 20.—The Harrisburg Giants is undoubtedly one of the strongest nines in the Quaker state, and up to the present seemingly the stoutest squad on the diamond in central Pennsylvania. The Giants have also credibly met several out-of-state teams, including the All Cubans and a live wire aggregation from Elizabeth, N. J. score will show that at least nine in which the Giants have played contention the Giants will场 lot "tallies," which are the ear-marks of poor baseball training.
The traditional unlucky "113" seems to yet be a Jnx. It was the thirteenth game in which the stream of victories of the up-state team was imitated by the Tower City (Pn.) team, score being 5 to 4.
The Giants tied the Y. M. C. A. at Lewistown, Pa., 1 to 1, won 6 to 1 from the All Cubans, and on return game here lost to the "Islanders" 2 to 2; won 3 to 2 and lost 6 to 5 to Elizabeth, N. J. also the Giants snatched victory from the Lebanon Nine to the tune of 6 to 4.
In the first game of the little world series here the Giants lost to the Motive Power team of this city, but won September 15th, 8 to 3. The Giants have five more games to play with this club for the city championship.
The record of the Giants has been rather impressive, for out of the last 21 games they have won 16, lost 4 and tied L.

"GRIDIRON DUST" FROM SOUTHERN COLLEGS
Last week Harlem reminded one of a meeting place for Southern football players. The writer was kept busy getting an introduction to the many gridiron performers who are now winding their ways. back to their respective schools. Captain Wingfield of Morris Brown, Lyman Athens; Morgan of Atlanta, Hunter of Edward Waters; Proctor of Morris Brown, and Coach Tutt of Halves were among those who were all filled with thoughts of the approaching football season.
When I woke up the other morning and felt the cool breeze winging their way into my New York domicile, all thoughts turned toward ball. I too could resist the impulse no longer so boys and I felt the dud of the pigkin as it spiralled its way through the air. I could feel the old familiar touch of the tackling dummy, I could hear the commands of "Chief" as he thundered "ten more laps. "Any boy sure enough there were the howling mob on the side lines crying 'touchdown'. Gee! what else could a fellow do but "hit the trail."
With all of the men from last year's squad back, and a wealth of new material in sight to pick from, College Bryan of A. & T. College at Greensboro, N. C. has promised a strong Blu-ray disc world. All but two of this year's games will be played on the home grounds.
The following schedule has been presented for publication: October 6, Howard Univ., Wash., D. C.; October 2, Shaw Univ., Greenboro, N. C.; October 19, Johnson College, Smith Univ., Greensboro, N. C.; October 26, St. Augustine, Greensboro, N. C.; November 3, Va. N. & . I. Petersburg, Va.; November 10, open; November 10, Greenboro, N.

Mr. William O. Kindle, graduate of William O. Kindle, will take charge of athletics at Talladge College this fall. Mr. Kindle was formerly physical director at the Harlem branch of the Y. M. C. A. College, will take charge of athletics at Talladge College this fall. Mr. Kindle was formerly physical director at the Harlem branch of the Y. M. C. A. College, will take charge of athletics into Southern athletic activities and predict for Talladge a creditable showing in all branches of athletics.
Mr. Rudough Moses, graduate of New Orleans College and a former student at Columbia-University will be connected with athletes at the seat of his Alma Mater this fall. The athletic spirit should be very much revived under the leadership of this young man.

Local Birds In 130-MileRace
The Liberty Homing Club of the Garfield district held its second bird race of the season last week when six fleet-winged fowls, took the air at Newark, Ohio, for their home lofts at Pittsburgh. The distance from Newark to Pittsburgh is 130 miles, Airline.
The race was a close contest, but Elizabeth Clay, a neat blue checkered hen, flying to the board of the paddle boat of stubborn for Worrell Weeden's Billy, which was the closest contest of the victor. As will be observed from the tabulation below, the contest was on the whole evently matched. Five of the birds flew almost in an irregular phalanx. The distance of the previous and initial flight was only 100 miles as compared with the 130-mile path of last week.
This perhaps accounts for the difference that in the case of the fowls, especially that of "Miss Clay," who had an average of 54 seconds less than that of Sir Dorthyson, winner of first flight.
Two other birds were in the contest but no report was had from their lofts. The Liberty Homing Club is continuing to extend the length of the air line. In the next contest the feathered' futterers will have the pleasure of wading through two hundred miles of atmosphere.
The following is a summary of the race:

Dempsey Must Defeat Wills To Clear Title
Tex Rickard Quoted as Saying That Colored Challenger Only Dempsey Opponent of Championship Calibre.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. — To be monarch of all he surveys, it now remains for Jack Dempsey to meet Harry Wills, the New York steward.
Will the bout be held? And if so, will it be held in New York City? Ever since the question of a Wills-Dempsey fight was broached, the opinion has been held by many that it would be bad stuff to pull off the battles in New York City, there are 500 co-curators of citizens in the metropolis and they might get too excited over affairs. Race riots are pleasant things.
When Dempsey put the giant Firpo down for the count and the 90-, 000 flight bugs at the Polo grounds gave Jack the first real enthusiastic cheer he has received since he won the title, the next thing the fans'd was to crave the blood of Harry Wills.
Fans Want Wills Go
Not one, but scores of the spectators who filled out of the arena Friday, Dempsey is a real champion. He's only got one more job on his hands—and that job is to put Harry Wills out of business."
So the contest now is up to Tex

This Is an Age of Specialization—Doing One Thing and Doing It Well
If your Automobile needed overhauling you would take it to an expert in THAT LINE, not an ordinary mechanic, wouldn't you? The same principle applies to your body. You would take it to a TUNOR, and if you suffer from B.T. Tryble, get an Octane. If you have a TUNOR, get a Surgeon, and if you suffer from ONE of the ailments in which I specialize, COME TO ME because I have had over 30 years experience treating men's ailments. Only. A visit will tell. Don't let false pride or modesty keep you away. Call today if in trouble, or in doubt, don't wait too late.

Rickard. Rickard, it will be remembered, has said all along that Harry Wills is the one man in the fight game today who could enter the ring with Dempsey, with an equal chance of leaving the squared circle as the world's champion. In this connection, however, a little up-and-up on Wills may not be amiss.
Harry Wills' hands' are on the bum. They've been that way since he traded wallops with Clem Johnson, heavyweight. But Harry wants a chance at Dempsey and he wants a chance at the doubles and he wanted to scrap for the world's heavyweight title. Paddy Mullins, his manager, also wants the same chance for his ward.
So Harry, like Brew Fox in Uncle Remus' stories, has jes' been layin' low since the Clem Johnson fight. He has been nursing his dukes, and he thinks that if he got in the ring

WAGING HITTER FIGHT TO
ESCAPE N. CAROLINA MOB
(Continued From Page One)
matter of the gun was arrested. An attempt was made to lynch him on espionage, but he escaped the fury of the mob by implicating McCoy as the murderer.
McCoy, at the time, was working some distance away, and the mob run him to the stone quarry where he was employed, with the intention of carrying out their evil designs. Fellow employees warned him of the presence of the mob and he made good his escape to Pennsylvania.
McCoy left, not because he was guilty, as he steadfastly maintains his innocence but because he knew his life was indanger of mob violence. His leaving, of course was taken by the mob to mean that he was guilty of murder. Any man who refused to be lynched is always guilty for that very reason. This is the reason given to him. McCoy is one of the crime. He was two miles away from the scene of the killing and working at the time it happened.
Supported by Facts
Attorney Frank H. Steward is supported by facts and circumstances which ought to meet the hearty approval of the hands of Governor Pinchot. If McCoy is sent back just because the mob ran away, and this seems to be the real truth of it, our governor will place us in a most humiliating position among states of the Union. We hope he will not appease the mob.
Make Yourself More Attractive
USE QUINADE
No other single factor contributes so much to personal charm and at tractiveness as beautiful hair. Seepy's Quinade will help to beautify and improve the hair. It will soften harsh, kinky hair, making it easier to put up in any style its length will permit.
Quinade is a medicated pomade scientifically compounded by an experienced pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and roots of the hair, and which are calculated to encourage its growth. To get best results from the use of Quinade, the scalp should be washed regularly with Quinsoap, the ideal shampoo. Seeby's Quinsoap is made with a pure vegetable cil base and produces a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft, soft and imparts a feeling to the scalp, unqualified in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinsoap, asking for them by the full name. If unable to obtain them at your druggist's or dealer's mail us, the price—Quinade 38c, Quinsoap 25c—and we will send them to you postpaid.

POLICE WAR ON "IMMORAL"
CIRCUSES AND "HOT" SHOWS
(Continued From Page One)
Says one writer: "It is not common to see three or four girls and an equal number of men, sitting about the card table in absolute mudity or in various stages of dishablity."
An outstanding man in the
Ancient World. He is worthy
of attention. Here is a colored land-
lady who lords it over an establishment
or half, a dozen pretty girls,
all white, but who cater to a colored
trade.
This house is operated on a profit-
sharing basis. The white girls exact
a certain amount, and of this the
landlady gets fifty per cent:
The "cabaret" in which men pay a certain price to enter and then are granted specified privileges and the "circus" performances, are beyond pen description. This is the condition which exists in the police officials and the respectable citizens are combining, forces in the most relentless and determined crusade against vice ever put on here. They are being urged in their fight through printed exposures in the daily newspapers.
T. Ernie Fowle, a well-known British solon, has suggested that the police should moralify, and Cleveland police are following this suggestion.
Delegates Are Being Named For League Meeting
Race Responding to Call for National Assembly Where Colored Americans Will Map Race Policy.
BOSTON; Mass., Sept. 20. — The race is showing a lively interest in the 16th Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League at Brooklyn, September 26, called for a National Race Assembly on equality of rights. The National Headquarters is receiving many requests for the Official Call from all parts of the country by members of the race who are getting up delegates through mass meetings or through local race organizations and churches.
- Special interest is being taken in the project of having the race itself, in a called national delegated assembly, formulate a program of its own for justice, equality and protection, comprising a statement of the wrongs suffered, of its case in equity, and its policy for remedial action, which is to be presented by a delegation elected by the Convention to President Coolidge at the White House at the convention's

The League invites the race to come from all sources, regardless of organization or denominal lines, for the freest possible deliberation and greatest possible concert of action.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Al.
Sept. 20. The forty-third session of the Tennessee Normal and Industrial Institute, opened here, Thursday, September 18, with more than 1,900 students and many other students awaiting the opportunity to register. Every section of this city is represented among those present, as well as Africa, Central America, South America, Cuba and the British West Indies.
The opening day, enrollment of this year, compares favorably with that of any other year and surpassed all expectations due to the migration of so many Negroes to the North and the economic conditions existing among Negro farmers of this section. In spite of these adverse conditions it was necessary to open registration a week early in order to be ready for the regular routine on the opening day.
From all indications this year will be one of the most largely attended sessions in the history of the school. The majority of those already enrolled are newcomers. The old students are just beginning to return, many of them having worked at their trades during the summer, at the large industrial plants in the North and Middle West.
In addressing the students at the Thursday evening chapel services, Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal, said: "It is very gratifying to see so many here on the opening day and I hope your presence here indicates an anxiety on your part to begin your work for the year. Many of you, I am sure, have heard that Tuskegee stands for work, and so it does, but it stands for much more than that, it stands for manhood and womanhood, bounded men and women by carrying out the philosophy of Dr. Booker, Washington, the founder of the Institute, which is inscribed on the monument erected on the campus to his memory, which reads: We shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify labor and put brain and skill into the common occupations of life."
"I want each one of you, to look at and study that monument and think about the man whom it memorializes. Think of his life. Think of what he did for his race, his country and for humanity, and of the sacrifices which he made for this Institute. Then strive at all times to prove worthy of those sacrifices which he made and which your parents and these teachers are making today. Make every minute of your time, count. Tuskegee, as I have said before, is no place for sluggards. We are busy here from morning till night and I hope every one is determined to follow the routine cheerfully and willingly."
Pastor Is Held for Assaulting Girl
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 20—A peculiar "love" affair, involving a girl socially prominent in this city and a pastor of one of the largest Baptist churches was revealed here, with the arrest of Rev. B. J. Nieks on a charge of assault with intent to murder.
The victim was Miss Willie Osberry. She is in a local hospital, where her condition is still serious, it is said.
Mrs. Anna Black has returned home after spending two weeks in Columbus, Ohio, with her sister, Mrs. Charles Craighall, and three weeks in Pittsburgh, Pa., with her sisters, Mrs. Mack Blackman.

It was a joy and a pleasure to meet so many members and friends last Sunday. Rev J. Reed preached for us, both morning and evening services. He is an able minister and we can safely say, "Come out and hear a wonderful sermon next Sunday." The Sunday School and B. X. P. U. is on the road to success.
The ladies' Mrs. Miles class, under the leadership of Mrs. Niles, also do active work and looks forward to a year of splendid work.

Miss Mildred Spencer, Mrs. Fikes, A. A. Waterhouse all rendered solos. The closing address was made by Mrs. Gibson to the delight of all who heard her. The concert was highly appreciated.
Services Subday were well attended. The pastor preached at the morning service from the subject, "God's Acts," which was, very, inspiring. We had a short service Sunday night, but it was well attended.
Sunday, September 30th, will be Missionary Day, during which time the men will render a program in the morning, followed by a program given by the missionary sisters in the evening.
Don't forget our rally, which is to be held the 4th Sunday in October for the purchasing-of our new parsonage. Mrs. and Mrs. O. T. Wilson were the guests of friends in Braddock last Sunday. Miss Ada Wilson

"The Supreme Lordship of Christ" was the subject the pastor discussed in his morning discourse, from the text Luke 1:17. He said the fact that the sigh claim upon us is a superior claim and attention was called to the difficulties in the way of a full acknowledgment of this claim. The subject for the evening was "A New Creature", text 2 Cor 5:17. It was pointed out that a new creature in Christ has new perspective, new ideals, a new manner of life, and new attainments. The pastor was never heard more gladly than in these two sermons of last. Sabbath day. The committee in charge of the Sunday School rally for the first week in October is rallying the forces for

Author of "Blood-Money" and Other Stories
SYNOPSIS
Dixon, a World War veteran and College man, is a Pullman porter on the California Limited. He is spending his spare moments reading Finot's "Race Prejudice," when he is interviewed by a passenger whom he finds an interesting talker. Later he is ridiculed by a Southern Senator, also a passenger on the train, for his "fine taste for books," and is forced to agree with him that the races are not equal.
WITH regard to this matter of unity among my people," responded Dixon, "the first point to be considered: is shall we have Negroes or shall we have Americans? We can't have both. The closer certain nationalities in our population get together the further they drift from what ought to be the predominating idea—the general welfare of the State. I think that the aim of the so-called Negro should be national, not segregated, unity; provided, of course, that the white man will permit him. Why should a certain class of citizens band themselves in a separate camp, patronizing only themselves, working only among themselves, and so on? Let us suppose that the Jews, the Irish, the Mayflower descendants, and others, form themselves into their respective camps, patronizing only themselves. Wouldn't it make for narrowness, not to say national disharmony? None of the nationalities that come here are forced to segregate themselves—indeed, they are upbraided when they do so, as listen to the fuss that was made about the German-American. Another point: a too close Negro unity makes for segregation.
"And with regard to Negroes not acting more in unity, the truth is you can never get any group of human beings to think alike, not most vital interests are concerned. Didn't the Welsh collisions strike, and the English labor unions hamper the Government just when unity was most needed? Again, in California great rackets made about the Jews, and the Germans who are their main support? The Gentile has complained for centuries about the Jews, yet doesn't he go on dealing with him just the same? And there are even those Negroes who causticians in his treatment of their Jews. And people I notice that those, who preach what they call racial unity do not practice it when it affects their pocketbooks. Just as long as the so-called Negro has the same ideals of pacified, pacified, and remains as credulous as he is, I do not think that he will be more united than at present.
"On the other hand, I think there are three reasons why the Negro should spend his money among his own people; first, a matter of personal interest, second, the white persons whom he patronizes really despise him in their hearts; second, his is a struggling group and needs support, and third, since he is forced to work for the whites for smaller than the usual wage, he should not spend it with them at the bottom. Third, he must not forget that the principal supporters of Negro business are Negroes."
The senator drew his overcrowd closer around him. Dixon noticed his motion and asked if he were cold, "Somewhat," was the reply. Dixon reached under the seat and turned in the steam. A few minutes later, when the steam was thumping in the room, he was a whiner. He is always whining, whining. He would do better by not protesting so much.
"Sir," replied Dixon, "it's very evident that, since the Negro's disparity in numbers and wealth makes it impossible to take up arms for his rights, at least at this time he must follow the course pursued by him in a similar disadvantage that is, protect." "But the rice loses valuable time in protesting—time that could be employed in bettering its condition."
employed in bettering its condition. "Losing time by protesting! Can't you imagine King George and his supporters making just such an argument against it?" they protested against unjust taxes? If the Negro were to say nothing wouldn't it most naturally be taken; that he is contented? I do consider it the duty not only of those who suffer from, but also those who see injustice, to protest against it. We hold Great denounce the charisers and the rich will the might of His soul. When the Jews were rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem on their return from Babylonian captivity did they not wield sword in one hand and trowel in the other? Consider this, also: At school the spirit of independence is instilled into the hearts of men to admire满, indomitable spirits like Julius Caesar, William Tell. Patrick Henry, George Washington. We are expected to be brave in war—in short, all the standards of the whites are impressed upon us. Do you suppose, then, we can remember while our most rights are transfixed? Has taxation with representation ceased to be terrifying?
"Agnain, look at the large number of discontented native whites who are bitterly fighting and who already have what Negroes are fighting for! There are the La Follettes, the Hiram Johnsons, the Borahs and the Scott Nearings, the DuPoises, the Owenses and the Helphols? But this object to our protesting is a hopeful sign; it shows that conscience is at work." Dixon reflected an instant and continued: "A similar number of whites would undoubtedly take more active measures to gain their rights, but the Negro, not much educated and without efficient organization, is almost impossible to plead for, which he might demand he united. He represents not less than one-ninth of the population, yet, as you say, there is not a single one in the higher councils.

"Then all the other nationalities go ahead of the Negro said the senator, the Polocks and all the others:"
"Your analogy isn't fair."
"Can't see why."
"These people are all white," replied Dixon, "and, however hard the first generation, may find it, such hard experiences being due almost entirely to their own deficiencies, the rest of the white population ever, is regarded as a separate entity. Another point, sir, the immigrant not only gets ahead of the Negro, but of the native whites as well. Just look at the names on the signs along any business street or railroad, and you will see that American group of whites is the most decadent of all—for example, the whites of the Southern States, like Georgia and the Carolinas. The most progressive Northern States are those that have received the highest education, like New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts; the least progressive, those that have received little, like Maine and New Hampshire. The same holds true of the western ones. The least progressive, those that have our cosmopolitan population happens to be the Anglo-Saxon. I refer directly to the poor white mountainters of Kentucky and Tennessee.
"Albert Bushnell Hart, in his book, 'The Southern South,' compares them with the peoples of New England in the seventeenth century. Then, there are the poor native whites of good Anglo-Saxon stock and Franklin Counties, New York Areau stock County, Maine, and Windham County, Connecticut. Prof. Branson of North Carolina, compares these people to those crab-like creatures mentioned in 'Lea Miserables'—people who, before advancing light, steadily retreat into the fringe of darkness, while the Chicago Journal, 'are not beyond the help of education,' 'These poor and decadent whites, North as well as South, are, as I said, the purest representatives of that Anglo-Saxon race that the Watons, Vardamans and Rodidenberries are always bragging about. They are a striking example of decay. Most communities of African ores and certainly much below a people like the Basutos. You a spoke of inferior races; here, if anywhere on earth, is one."
"The Negro, however, is growing out of the ideas inculcated in slavery. Each succeeding generation will be progressively assertive of its manhood. I repeat, all that the group lacks is training and opportunity." No more of the black man can make him anything else but a Negro, snapped the senator; "he is simply incapable of governing himself. Who evolved the white man's government for him? Look what a miserable failure Liberia has been amid the wealth of the vast African continent! Look what a farce Haiti is! There never has been a successful government by Negroes, and the only thing he'll give a hundred dollars to immease a single one."

CALF FRISKS ON WOODEN LEG
MOBERLY, Mo, Sept. 20. — A calf that has to be "assembled every morning is the property of J. W. Boucher, who lives near Moberly. The animal has a wooden leg, which must be attached before she can run and play in the woods again when the calf was only 3 days old, a sow bit off the end of her tail and the lower part of her right hind leg. Reluctant to sacrifice a heifer calf from the best cow of his herd, Boucher devised an artificial leg, attached to a leather casing, to jump up every morning. The calf takes kindly to the device and bawls loudly for her leg each morning if her owner is late in assembling her for the day's antics.

Almost Buried Alive
Aged Woman Victim of Lethargy Giving Her Death Look
Mourner Saves "Corpse"
Discovers Rigar Mortis Had Not Set In, Although Heart Had Stopped Beating and Woman Had Ceased to Breathe.
A mourner at the funeral of Mme. Elize La Flamme, of Montreal Canada, probably saved the aged woman from burial alive by calling attention that rigor mortis had not set in. The doctors had Madame La Flamme taken from her casket and put to bed for treatment as a suspected case of catalytic lethargy, which they said, might give her the appearance of death. Priest Waiting The Parish priest and the choir boys were waiting in the little church of St. Jean Baptiste de Rouville, and the pall-bearers had just raised the casket when one of the mourners spotted that Mme. La Flamme was the appearance of a dead woman. Her heart was not beating, and she was not breathing, but the "corpse" was neither rigid nor cold. Fearful that they might be burying her alive, the mourners sent for two doctors, who made an examination.
The physicians decided the ceremonies shouldn't be halted immediately, particularly when told that Mine, the son of the same condition for two days before she was supposed to have breathed her last.

He ordered a hamburger sandwich and tore into it and placed it on a circular plate. After the first mouthful had been disposed of he bit into a complete lower set of false teeth, mounted in thin gold. The discovery stirred up considerable excitement in the restaurant, as may be indicated. The proprietor made inquiries among the bakers who supply him with bread, one of whom said he had employed a tramp bread baker for a couple of nights, but as the man in charge of baking during working hours he had to let him go.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. 20. — A wife's apparent preference for her husband's younger brother led the b: ther and the woman to police headquarters, while the husband, armed with warrants, prepared to prosecute. A maze of circumstances surround the case, the result of a love triangle in the home of Oliver Snyder, the husband, a building contractor of Wichita, Kan. He made the complaint against his wife, Mrs. Loyia Jane Snyder, and his brother, William Snyder. In the last year many colorful events have been chronicled in the life of Oliver Snyder. It was hardly twelve months ago that Snyder and Mrs. Snyder was married. It was the second marriage for Mrs. Snyder and she had two small children. The honeymoon was spent at Mr. Hope, near Wichita, Kan. Then they moved to Wichita and Willard Snyder, the brother, came to live with Oliver and family. Mrs. Snyder became named of the police told. Events moved swiftly. One day last February Snyder went

Asylum Inmate Is Candidate for Office
Is First to Enter Race for City Council Nomination.
BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept 20—Henry Hoffstetter, an inmate of the Buffalo State Hospital for the Insane, is the 51st candidate officially to enter the city primaries for nomination as councilman. The position is important, since Buffalo, is governed by five councilmen. Another filed his entry petition with 600 signatures attached and Election Commissioner Beyer said the name would go on the primaries ballot.
No, effort is made to conceal the fact that the entrant is a resident of the insane asylum. The candidate's name added to the explanation wording "At, present State Hospital, ward 11."
The committee on the Hoffettetter candidacy is composed of some well known Buffaloonians. Hoffettetter's former friend in Haskell, Mike, attitude on public questions frequently commands generous attention. Hoffettetter was committed to the Office because of the much letter writing of the committee men and officials criticizing his actions.

I grew up with other black and white boys. I was nev. whipped by any, but made them all respect the teachers. I got my education from many. I got my private tutors. Two public schools two grammar. or high schools and t. colleges. My teachers were men and women of varied experiences and abilities; four of them were teachers; they studied me and I studied them. We came friendly in after years, others I drifted apart, because as a boy they wanted to whip me, and I simply insults to be whipped. I was not made to be whiph. It annoys to be defeated; hence to me, to be defeated to struggle for cause for an everlasting struggle to reach the top.
I became a printer's apprentice at an early age, while still attending school. My apprentice master: was a highly educated and alert man. In the affairs of business and the man he had no peer. He taught me many things before I reached 12, and at least enough intelligence and experience to manage men. I was strong and manly and made them respect me. I developed a strong and forceful character and have maintained it still.
To me, at home in my early days, there as no difference between white and black. On: of my father's properties, the place where I lived, the time, was adjoining that of a white man and two boys; the Wesleyan man, another man whose church my parents attended, also had property adjoining ours. He had three girls and one boy. All of us were playmates. We rumped and were happy when we met together. The little white girl knew no better than I did myself. We were two innocent fools who never dreamed of a race feeling and problem. As a child, I went to school with white boys and girls, like all other Negroes. We were not called the negro then. I never heard the term Negro used once until I was about 14.

Otland, and told her that she was never to write or try to get in touch with me; for I was a "nigger." It was never found for the first time that there were different races, each having its own separate and distinct social life. I did not care about the separation of races, and never thought all during our childhood association that the girl and the rest of the children of her race were better than I was; in fact, they used to look up to me. So I simply agreed. I only thought them "fresh."
After my first lesson in race distinction, I never thought of playing with white girls any more, even if they might be next door neighbors. At home my sister's company was good playmate. We took her to school and with the colors green nxt to me. White boys and I used to frolic together. We played cricket and baseball, ran races and rode bicycles together, look each other to the river and to the sea beach to learn to swim, and made boyish efforts while out in deep water, to retrieve a shark that for shore crushing but "shark, shark shark". In all our experiences, bows. (Continued on Page 12, Col 4)

Parker, the most worshipful grandmaster of the Ancient Honorable Fraternity of Prince Hall, who called upon every unit of the craft in his jurisdiction, including the affiliated higher branches to come to the relief of the Japanese earthquake sufferers.
The proclamation issued by the Grandmaster, counter signed by A.A. Schohn, Secretary, reads in part: "Free Masonry teaches us to relieve the affliction and aid those in distress, and as these people are members of the human family, it is our bounded due to the need of the Masonry—therefore the Masonle family. In this jurisdiction is asked to contribute, as much as their means will allow and the necessity of those in distress demands."
"Graveyard Dream Blues" Is Ida Cox's Greatest Song Hit
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 20. — Have you ever heard a cornet pray? Of course, you've heard a saxophone groan and you've heard Ida Cox moan—but, oh boy! just wait until you hear Tom Ladimer and his praying cornet. It's the best you ever hear. Tom prays his cornet, Lovein Austin romps all over the piano and Jimmie Bryant sobs and groans with his clarinet in an accompaniment to Ida Cox's Farnam Record. "Graveyard Dream Blues," they call it, and it's a haunting melody, Ida Cox and her Blues are wonderful hits have made me feel a deeperfuls becomes exclusive Paramount Record stars, but "Graveyard Dream Blues" surpasses all previous achievements.

Davis, comes to Gibson's New Dunbar Theatre commencing Monday evening, September 24.

Present Stars of Phenomenal All-Color Show Tell of Trials Before Play "Went Over"
The coming of the new shuffl Along Go<sub>w</sub> by Sissle and Blake in Pittsburgh recently recalls to mind the fact of the wonderful success made by the old company consisting of Miller and Lyles, also Sissle and
These four Negroes, aided by Al. Mayer, a white man, developed "Shuffle Along" from a troup playing one night stands and going where he wanted, which has taken in gross receipts of $1,500,000 in two years. Don't get the idea that "Shuffle Along" was started on a shoe string, for as the five men put it, "it even have to have nothing, rehearsed on empty stomachs, taken on the road on promises, carried along on worthless cheeks and finally returned to New York with a deficit of $210,000." The success of "Shuffle Along" is also the narrative of the up-hill struggle of two young Negroes. Noble Sissle, who wrote the lyrics for the production music, Eubie Blake, who wrote the lyrics, and they have composed more than a score of popular songs. Blake is the "iron man" of the team and not only directs the orchestra, but plays the piano while doing so through entire production. One thing he goes to the stage for a piano con-
Sissle is 33 years old and was born in Indianapolis. He finished grade school and studied two years at DePaul University. During summer vacations he trouped on and got his early writing singing and upposing lyrics by writing an anecdies for football yells and songs.
Blake is 38 years old and can't remember when he could not play the piano. He was born in Baltimore and when a child came to him almost always heard someone else. He graduated from the doctor schools and then drove a doctor's carriage for $1.50 a week.
Played in Dance Hall.
"I got tired of driving that old carriage and got a joie playing the piano in a dance." He said.
"I could not hear a note of music after I was 25 years old. I married a competent musician and she taught me higher music."
Stissle and Blake met in the summer of 1915 in Baltimore. It was there they fourteen years later, their Fault." They got $22 for it, which was split, fifty-fifty.
"After the summer season," began Sissle, taking up the narrative, "we were engaged in a dance hall where we met headliners and wrote songs for them. Nor of the songs were accepted. We had a local reputation and he stayed in Baltimore, conducting orchestra. I moved to Palm Beach as an entertainer. Some New York people who thought I was good told Jim Europe, the orchestra leader, about me and he gave me a job. went to New York and all about Blake had been trying to get him, and we persuaded him to New York in the fall of 1916. At that time Europe was organizing his big band for Col. Hayward's Fifteenth Regiment of National Guards. I got into it. And then came the war and I went in the band in the war over with Hayward's Hell Fighters and soon got out of the band and into the intelligence service. I came out with a shame fail's commission.
"Blake, in the meantime, had
stayed at the University of
looking for Purple's interests."
"Iim Europe's interest," Interjected Blake. "Sislea here was looking out for the interests of Europe proper." "Well, we got back in February, 1919." Sislea continued, "and Europe's band went on the tour which ended, in Europe's death in Boston when a drummer stabbed him. Immediately after Blake and I teamed

up again and spent eighteen months on the Kestrel. With Mark Miller and Lyle
"In January, 1921, we participated in a benefit at a Negro theater in Philadelphia. Miller and Lyle were on the same bill. Then and there "Shuffle Along" was born. Blake and I had always wanted to take out a show, but needed a book. Miller and Lyle had always wanted to have little success because they lacked original music.
"A short time later we were in New York looking for a cheap show that had failed. We intended to revamp it, use the lines prepared by Miller and Lyle, and we played it by Blake and myself, stage it in Negro theater and then call in the white managers to look it over. Miller and Lyle who had a lot of experience picking up up cheap shows, were looking for one when they met our friend, who was the hint enter our friend and benefactor."
Mayer took up the story:
"I had always believed there was room for a good Negro show, but I had never found the show. I had taken out seven Negro productions and all we were flops, I was filled with Miller and Lyle, and Sissle and Blake, and got busy.
"We five agreed to go into partnership. Miller and Lyle were to arrange the blues, Blake. and Sislea to handle the business end, and I was to handle the business end.
"Right here let me say this for these four boys: There has never been a piece of paper between us. We have nothing but the pledged contract, as is good as gold. The profits are split five ways.
"To get back to my story. I knew that John Cort had the scenery and wardrobe of Eddie Leonard's show, and I wanted lunch. He accepted. I told him I would be back in thirty minutes and I went out and hocked my overcast to get lunch money. I bought the lunch and offered to buy the stuff he wanted. I accepted. Now Sislea, tell him how you got the cast."
"There were a lot of good Negro vaudelle acts to pick from," Sisale said. "The players knew they had little future in vaudelle because of their race and when we told them we had no money but, would not take them from them, then from New York, they agreed to gamble with us. "We had planned to call our show 'The Mayor of Jintown,' but decided that inasmuch as we were going to shuffle along on the road for a while before tackling New York, we would call it 'Shuffle Along.' The name stuck. "We would to open in Trenton, but when we got to the Pennsylvania station Blake backed out." "Do you blame me?" Blake asked. "If had nothing in my pockets but a railroad ticket to Trenton."
"We finally talked Blake into coming along," Sissie explained.
"And what a nightmare was Trenton," Mayer cut in. "After the bills were paid I lacked $20 of having money in Washington but I finally found an uber who was saving for a new suit and upon my promise to send him $30 from Washington he loshed me $20. We had 'guarantee in Washington we had 'guarantee in Washington weeks and moved on to Philadelphia."

Julius Reremendal With a Wave of His
Mouth Rose to Him
M. Rosenthal, "Infernalia"
CHICAGO, Sept. 20—At the banquet of the tenth anniversary of the Wabash Ave. department of the Chicago Y. M. C. M. A. association the Honorable Julius Rosenwald replied to the many meritorious encomiums of the previous speaker of the last session, all the hardest and financial help aggregating millions of dollars we all know, so infinitely about, "infinitimal." He continued, bowing to Mr. W. L. Parker, former business manager and the successor to the late General Secretary of the bus company, whom he paid a great plating, and touching tributes as a friend whose place in his heart was second to none. To these two men more than any other in this country do we owe the great expansion of Y. M. C. A. work in America. It was a gift of that man, of it that raised it from a group of noonday prayer meetings. Mr. Rosenwald said he could not take credit for being a good Christian, but he was a good Christian. Association was a good Christian. It is our candid belief that if Mr. Rosenwald would hold the truth, the answer is what is quite obvious, that Y. M. C. A. work totaling almost $50,000,000 in the last ten years has resulted absolutely from the advent of the great and true hus-
wanted our show, but after many days of persistent effort, "Shuffle Along" got into a little music hall on Sixty- third street. The cast got humpbacked from trying to avoid bumping their heads, on the ceiling. But "Shuffle Along" went over. For fourteen months it played to capacity audience and went to Boston for fifteen weeks.
Believe in Education.
Seals and Blake. are clean- cut, serious-minded men who feel that their production is doing much to offset race prejudice. Education, they say, is the key. China was next for fifteen weeks and then it came to St. Louis.
"Negroes" said Sissle, "are naturally clamish, but they look to their white brathem, but they look to their black or leadership. Never forget that a Negro would rather be a big man among Negroes than a little man among whites." The blacks had been handicapped-by your race?" they were saddened.
"Yes and no," she said replied. "Our race has been an issue since I was a hand-cap in our song writing. Put-hers looked to us for jazz music and would accept such, but when we offered more serious the would not take it."
"For example, we wrote 'Baby Bunting,' the song hit of 'Elise,' seven years ago, but could not sell it. Two Hearts in Tune,' another song hit of 'Elise,' also was written several years ago, as were 'My Vision Girl' and 'Of the People,' and others. But the publishers could not see them until after our success with 'Snuffle Along.' "Now that we have arrived, so to speak, the handicap of race has been forgotten.
Do. You Want To Be A Dramatist.
The author of "Wildswater," Otto Harbach, submits the following rules for aspiring dramatists:
1. A play is written to be acted, not to be read. Because a play is intended to read is no reason it will be interesting when played, and vice versa.
2. The only measure of a play is its effect upon an audience; it must make them laugh, cry or think.
3. It is more interesting to witness a happening than to hear about it. Don't talk about things in your play, let them happen. What will happen will more interest in varying degrees, depending on what it happening? "why is it happening?" and "to what is it happening?"
5. Be sure that what is happening in your play is an adventure. Every life, no matter how humdum, has its high lights. These make it more interesting.
6. Don't let things happen in your play simply because you want them to happen, but because your characters want them to happen.
7. What happens should concern one character mainly. Beware of the deadly "divided interests."
8. An audience should be not only curious, but anxious about the outcome of your play. Remember that the fate of loyal characters will interact more people than that of disagreeable characters. 9. The surest way to know a character is to witness him or her under the stress of conflict. A clash of wills is absolutely necessary to dramatic interests.
10. If your play—besides presenting a moment in some human life is supposed to—to point a moral, let the audience discover if it is good or bad. Give a good joke—needs no explanations. 11. Don't arbitrarily limit the audience's exposure to acts, but remember that a modern audience expects to be kept entertained for about two hours and a half—it grows tired if kept listening too long at a stretch, and loses interest if interrupted too often. 12. Start your play with an interest that you can't keep unbroken to the end, so the cool making mayonnaise dressing. She starts with the yolk and an agege—her interest or "permeating ideas," she begins to stir it, adding slowly her "characters" and "episodes"—condiments and oil—dry by drop keeping the growing mixture always in action until it is finished. If it is not, she adds an oil or for any other reason of temperature or condition of materials used. "separates," or, as she says, "goes back" on her, no amount of stirring can save the situation. She must stir all over again.
mantainist, who has known no creed and an color-like only unto the low-eyed, weave Jalus Roenwald typifies the Christian birthboard.
Mr. Rosanwald emphasized that the contributions to colored Y. M. C. A. buildings, were not so important effects, the knew they were having in the lives of the people, related relations between the races. He cited as an interesting example the joy derived by the former vice president, Mr. Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, who was warded for interesting him to assist in raising the funds for a colored building in that city. In the words of the late Vice President, "Did you say your name was, Rosanwald?" as Mr. Rosanwald said, "National convention, we were meeting thousands each day, 'You are the man who got me in that trouble in Indianapolis. I never had so much genuine pleasure in my work, that, too, off my coat and got busy, but doing it colored Y. M. C. A. down there."
Mr. Rosewaqd climaxed one of the days that will be red lettered on the South slide of Chicago by replying to the rumor heard by Mr. E. H. Cary, of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, other Y. M. C. A. building. "Nothing would please me better than to subscribe to another colored Y. M. C. A. in Chicago." His generosity is still boundless. Mr. George Arthur executive secretary of the Wabash department has again lived up to his promise to make good with the task be big or he. In twenty-five years he has climbed to the top of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries of America.

Race Finds No Real Freedom In The South
of Evolution” race-blending in the South is “taken for granted; the Mercure de France for August, 1922, finds much hope for France from an ancient French tradition, saying that, the French people betray antipathy to the color of the men from Algeria, Morocco or Tunis; and that all are “welded into lasting French cement”, a condition wounded by our soldiers returning from France.
Reuter in "The Mulatto in the United States" implies that race-blending will take place if the color line and race segregation are not maintained: "Where no color line has been used, the race of the men they have tended to ally themselves with the superior race—during the process of reduction to a mongrel unity; it is biracial adjustment that keeps them apart." One writer has asserted that all religions come from the same origin; all black are departures and extreme black are departures, and that Adam, as his name signifies, was made of red earth
We must coclude, therefore, that eventually the two races in America will blend if they be placed on social and political equality, and if they are in fact homogeneous.
Are Southern whites and blacks socially and politically equal? Are the blacks more powerful. And now we touch the first spot spot. We of the South generally maintain that the Negro is a free man, and that the law bears on white and black alike, when we must know that this is not the fact. Is a man free who cannot vote, hold office or serve on the jury; is he free when he must ride second-class coachers, sit in the old car rear seats of electric cars and flee for his life when suspected of being a dangerous character? Is a race free which has been battered into submission by whippings and lynchings, and which has no part in governmental affairs? Can man-or race be free with a spirit in manhood if it does not have the white face that the Negro is in a race of bootblacks, when we have confined him to the task of blacking our boots?
Facing the Facts
Facing the Facts
We are not alone considering whether the things should or should not be; we are merely asserting that in the "Black Belt" they are. And they are for a definite, a fixed purpose. As in slavery days it was necessary in order to perpetuate the institution, to make it a crime to teach a slave to read or write, in other words to make his condition of slavery, so in the far South today in order to maintain the present servile condition of the Negro it is necessary to put him under foot and to keep him under foot. Whippings, lynchings, burnings—those represent the color line in crimson; and those represent the line, as a recurrent outcrop, "of an attempt based on intuitive choice to preserve those distinctive values which a racial group has come to regard as of the highest moment to itself." The great industrial awakening in the South is made possible by this supposed permanent settlement of the race issue, for the color line properly en-
forced need not interfere with business—at all.
Are the two races homogeneous? They are, undoubtedly. Some times about 1812 on the border line of two great Southern States there lived a Presbyterian preacher named John Chavis, "admired for his noble qualities as a gentleman, reversed for his evil intentions, expected for his eminent ability as a teacher and preacher." He had been a student at Princeton under Dr. Wilkerson. Opening a classical school in an aristocratic Southern community, he was patronised by the governor of future Senators, Governor, and financier; this man was a Negro, a free Negro "without a white blood in his veins." About five feet seven inches in height, he was robust and corpulent, having a great sense of great benevolence. The pupils boarded in his home, and in their homes he was a welcome guest. Because of the Nat Turner insurrection in 1882 he and other free Negroes were forbidden by law to preach. In 1883 he was supported by a Southern Presbytery. This is an isolated case to be sure, but it is portentous.
Are not two races homogeneous which have lived together in peace for a hundred, years, speaking the same language, worshipping the same religion, having affiliations, impelled by similar superstitions and prejudices, the weaker race (imitating the stronger in customs, manners, and modes of thought)? Anyway, if the races are the same, there are so many mulattoes in the South? In 1910 one-fifth of the Negro population was mulatto.
We are about to uncover another skeleton in the closet; sexual relations once existing in the South between white men and mulatto woman, a condition which persisted until some time after the Civil War. Using the evidence of slavery and about 1876 sexual relation between the races was frequent. Neither comment nor sense of shame was entailed by what went on among white youths and colored girls. Nor was it uncommon at that time for white men to keep to the rules. Many a colored woman was proud to be the plaything of the white man, whose passion she gratified without restraint or responsibility. Public sentiment did not condemn the practice. Before 1876 there was no public sentiment on the subject of consensualness nor conflict; and the unhappy offspring could rise no higher than the color of the mother. Once a Negro, always a Negro.
Changes in Sexual Relations After about 1876 sexual intercourse between the races gradually decreased, and today has practically stopped. The sentiment condemn the practice, which has become a badge of shame. One would naturally expect the census table to reflect this change in race relationship, and it does. In 1910, in a group of 100 men, five were mulattoes, whereas in 1920 the proportion was one in six, or 16 mulattoes in a group of 100 Negroes. But bloody revolutions, much legislation forbidding race intercourse of any kind, innumerable in the "Black Belt," together with the white womanhood of the South—all these were required to separate the two homogeneous races.

evil, only one black boy was drowned.
He went under on a Friday afternoon after school hours, and his parents found him in the following Sunday afternoon. Since then we boys never went back to sea.
At maturity the black and white boy separated and took different courses in life. I grew up there to see the difference between the ages more and more. My schoolmates as me, me, me, me. I am more. I then realized that I had to make a fight for a place in the world, that it was not so easy to pass on to office and position. Personally, however, I had to learn to do it. I had to take a place for myself, for I was aggressive. At 18 I had an excellent position as manager of a large printing establishment, having under my control several men old enough to work with public life. I started to take an interest in the politics of my centry, and then I saw the injustice done to my race, because it was black, and I became dissatisfied with that acceptance. Central America and parts of the West Indies to find out if it was so elsewhere, and I found the same situation. I set sail for Europe to find out if it was different there, and I found that it was a black—"You are black." I read of the conditions in America. I read "Up from Slavery," by Booker T. Washington, and then my doom—I may so call it of being a race that I was not supposed to be after I had traveled through almost half of Europe.
I asked, "Where is the black man's government?" "Where is his king and his king's country, and his ambassador, his army, his navy, his men of big affairs?" I could not find them, and then I declared, "I will not be natural to become naturally restless for the opportunity of doing something."
for the advancement of my race, I was determined that the black man would not continue to be kicked about by all other races and nations of the world, as I saw it in the West Indies, South and East and Europe and Japan. I read it in my My young and ambitious mind led me into lights of great imagination. I saw before me them even as I do now, a new world of black men, not peas, dogs and skates, but a nation of sturdy making their impress upon their light, down upon the human race. I could not remain in London any more. My brain was a fire. There was a world of thought to conquer. I had to start at it. It became too late and the work be done immediately. I sailed at shipwreck at Jamaica on July 15, 1914. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities (Imperial) League was founded and organized five days after my arrival, with the program of mating all the Negro people into one great body to establish a government absolutely their own.
Where did the name of the organization come from? It was while speaking to a West Indian Negro who was a passenger on a train with a woman who was his wife and whom he was holding in the West Indies from Bantoulo with his Bantou wife, that I further learned of the horrors of native life in Africa. He related to me in conversation that my wife had blinded me. Relying on the conversation to my cabin, all day and the following night I pondered over the subject matter of that conversation, and at midnight, lying foxed on my back, that I should name the organization the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities (Imperial) League. Such a name I thought would embrace the purpose of the world a name w's born, a movement created, and a man became known.
I really knew there was so much color prejudice in Jamaica, my own native home, until I started the work of the Universal War. We startled immediately before the war. I had just returned from a successful trip to Europe, which was an exceptional achievement for a black man. The daily paper wrote me up with big headline and told on my movements. "NEGRA" is crazy; he has last his head," is that the use he is going to make of his experience and intelligence?"—such were the criticisms passed upon me. Men and women as black as us, the men and women as white, the women while under the West Indian order of secrecy. I was simply an impossible man to use

I had to decide whether to please my friends and be one of the "blackwhites" of Jamales, and be reasonably prosperous, or come out openly and defend and help improve the black million, protect the integrity of the black million, hence my offence against "colored-black-white" society in the colonies and America. I was openly hated, and persecuted by some of these colored men of the island who did not want to be classless, greens, but an outsider, and also at every step, but I had a large number of white friends, who encouraged and helped me. Notable among them were the then governor of the colony, the colonial secretary and several other prominent men, among them the "deadly guilty" that were passing for white. Humes my fight had to be made alone. I spent hundreds of pounds (staying) helping the organization (staying) with the footing.

At last the Grand Lodge of I. B. P. O. E. of Ws, has consented to buy a National Home for its indigent. I have, from time to time, through these columns, urged the purchasing of such a home, so at last, they have consented to buy. I knew that if continual discrimination through these columns dedicated to the enhancement of that particular course would some day be done. So, it will should be made the Almighty, who is not all of all things that my plea did not fall on deaf ears. I do not know where the home will be located, but I do know that the proposition offered by the Bozarth Company in New Harbor, N. F., would make an ideal place for the home, and if $16,000 can land the place, it would be far better than spending thousands of dollars to buy a home to be employed land and building at an enuroious loss; some inadequate house too small to entertain even a few. I felt, headed by such men as J. Finley Wilson, G. E. H., and Major R. H. Jackson, Chairman of the Home Board, that my appeal would some day result in facts. I commend those brothers who voted for the buying of such home for each a whole thing cause, as blessings may be such as the long to enjoy.

AFEW days ago, a mayor of an American city took it upon himself to order certain citizens out of the city. The mayor referred to is Cauffiel, of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He ordered all Negroes who had come to the city within the past seven years to leave town. His excuse for his unlawful order was that some Negroes had killed two police officers. His action was heralded all over the country as something new and radical. The people waited to see the final results. It has come.
On Tuesday of this week an election was held in Johnstown, as well as in all other Pennsylvania districts. This Czar-like mayor was a candidate to succeed himself in office. He was running on his record, and his declarations to the people included some of his radical views. The voters defeated him decisively, and he awakes to find that he is not any longer a mayor of any town, and the Negroes and Mexicans whom he ordered out of the city are living quietly in Johnstown, free from the attacks of a demented mayor.
These sudden uprisings are to be expected from time to time. They represent the lack of Americanism in our great country, and their appearances here and there but serve notice upon the people that we have not yet digested all the elements within our borders.
The mayor of Johnstown is no more. The people have disposed of him, and the little town of flood fame is operating under a normal pulse once more.

The Right of Self-Defense
(From Pittsburgh Gazette Times)
A letter threatening the Negro population of South Bend, Ind., and calling for blatant bias that bushilling industrial city. A great many of those who remained prepared to defend themselves against attack and to maintain their rights. The Chief of Police immediately "got on the job" and ordered sales of firearms stopped. If an attack is made the Negroes will be incapable of defending themselves to depend on the police for protection, and that probably will not amount to much.
A question arises here with respect to the righteousness of the police chief's action. If the citizen may at any time reasonably exercise the power to arrest a person, it is when his life and liberty are menaced. The South Bend authorities thought there was "nothing out of the threatening letter. But they know that should they be mistaken the Negroes would not make their assault with songs and grimaces. This does not indicate that a general arming of the Negroes would be proper. If does admonish that the police should prevent the purchase of deadly weapons this traffic is to be prohibited at all.
If there is a conspiracy against the Negroes to culminate in an attack on them in force, we may be sure the conspirators have supplied themselves with firearms. The chief's company of the arms traffic may possess a massacre of defenseless people. Should there be an outbreak in South Bend with results easily imaginable under the circumstances described, who but the police authorities, would be primarily responsible? Please consider the sale of deadly weapons. If they have not exercised it in the past they have permitted a state of affairs to grow up that may bring indelible disgrace to their city.
The argument for "free trade" in trade with the United States would enable the law-making apparatus to supersize its for protection. The better way, of course, is to enforce strictly the laws against carrying concealed weapons. But all over the land the public enemy gets his "gun" without hindrance. There is discrimination against its own protection. This is emphasized in South Bend, undesirable as it is that the Negro population be armed.

The New Jersey rioting at Perth Abbey, where an : semblage of the Klux Klan had even the police and firemen routed, is follwed by a similar attack in Wilmington, Del. The trouble in the East is plainly relious and racial. In the 'Scouth and West it is apparently 'social. Tulsa, Okla., now completely under martial law, is declared by Gov. Walton to have been a year, with the local officials entirely in sympathy with the disturbers.
There, as in Georgia, Texas, Louisiana and Florida the floggers and masked riders has been privately judging what was right and wrong judging what was wrong and wrong imbalances of all descriptions upon the victims of their judgments. A group of men decide that a neighborhood is offended by the presence or acts of an individual, and the persecution, dragged, dragged, clubbed, flogged, dragged, dragged, clubbed, tarred, kidnapped, or driven away. This has happened in Ohio. It has been threatened in Illinois. It breaks out each day in a new spot. The question arises, is this nation in a position to be the possibility of racial lignitus, social, and tional group contest upon a large scale?
THE PITTSBURGH COURIER
The potentially bitterest emotions and prejudices in life are involved. They have been buried in the general ambiability and tolerance of the people, but if subjected to exciting causes they can be dangerously inflicted. If the restraints were not what they are in American life, the United States has elements of trouble within it more serious than those arising from nationalistic organization, ambition, hatred, etc., in Europe. It might have been predicted that a person would overcome the earth, brought together quickly with all their varying ideas, prejudices, traditions, beliefs and egotisms, would have constant internal war. That prediction would have been plausible but wrong. The United States developed a people generally tolerant to other, quickly tending towards homogeneity and well disposed.
They are not the most orderly people in the world, and their law juggles many vagaries and eccentricities which lead them to accept it indisputably, without conscience, but the people lived by tolerance and mutual respect.
The departures currently recorded from this stable rule of life are superficially startling. We think they are only superficially so. We hope so. We are aware of the serious portents of the destructive toleration and good nature, we might fear for the Balkanization of America, and even worse than that.
People who are inflaming the disorders are taking a great deal of responsibility. The United States alone justice, even when it was organized. It has trouble with justice where there are mixed communities of whites and blacks. These are problems which require constant endeavor in repression. Men who add to the religious differences to the nation are mighty bad Americans.
The Messenger says:
Calvin Coolidge is now President. The Nation says he is "President by virtue of a myth." Labor says he is a hide-bound reactionary. Some say he is a liberal who he believes. Whole all is said the truth is that Mr. Coolidge is a Mr. "X." Hardly anybody knows specifically what he stands for on anything, but he is the policeman's strike, since his stroke came in Boston after the strike was over.
Our readers want to know how he stands on the Negro. Our guess is, "about like Harding." Why? Well, he made a Southern trip last year, and he bourbon Southern aristocracy, he made to accept their point of view on the South's chief problem—the Negro. In Atlanta and Charlotte, N. C. speaking before Negro audiences, he shocked the Negroes of Georgia and North Carolina when he told them "I am the best friend." He best friend, Ho. does he show it? By lynching, Jim Crow cars, segregation, disfranchisement and peonage. There are many implications to this statement. If Coolidge feels the South is the Negro's best friend, he negro acts upon the opinion of what he harms the Negro's best friend. The logic of the situation then is, that the only way in which Coolidge can serve the Negro's best interests will be by acting upon the principle of racism upon him that is, by taking the opinion of the enemies—namely, people other than the Southern whites.
We should give him a chance to make good. Still our candid opinion reads: "Coolidge is pretty cool on the Negro question."

He used to come around to the old Dreamland with Florence Burton. Florence was, and is, a dream. A crown of golden glory, her hair, is the setting for her pretty, white China face. Her form, slender, swept back, is the same as the grazes. When he used to breeze into the Dreamland with her, he, tall, brown, sharp, and she, babying up into his appreciative eyes, were one of the few sights that could hold the interest of the blase cabinet lounge. Arthur sure was a warm boy in those days. That is, Arthur was warm at night. And pretty good in the day, too. You see he was doorman at a loop hotel while the sun shined, the aft apt shill while the morn shined.
Things came to a queer pass, however. Florence got friendly with Jimmy Baker, gentleman of the white lights, as kind and fair an old gent as every trod the way. Jimmy was smart, sharp and sixty. No amount of advancing years seemed to change the nature of his attire or to interrupt his fine admiration of women. Maybe it wasn't Jimmy's fault, but Arthur and Florence stopped going around. Arthur picked up with somebody else. Florence went her own sweet way. One doesn't know just how things broke for Arthur. On the particular night in question he came to the door and peed on a peep at the old sights and folks. He had no fair Florence at his side.
There's a strange sort of courtesy required in Chicago cabarets. A slight attendance at them will give one a feeling of proprietorship, and it will also enable such places unequalled in any other places of public association. You toy with the glasses, the dances and the women. Arthur, on this night, feeling at home, reached out and grasped the hand of Dreamland's entertainers who ways seems tired. When Arthur let the hand go, one of the fingers was bleeding. How, or why, one seemed to know. May pouted and frowned. Arthur looked from the face of May. May pouted from the face of a policewoman, just come up.
May's finger just had a scratch. And besides, who can't play with a cabaret entertainer? Aren't they just public property, anyhow? The policewoman suggests that Arthur apologizes to May. May sucks her back, and she waits, waiting. Arthur protests that he is not to blame. No apology is forthcoming. Florence's former buddy grows from brown to red, the words begin to blow fast-from his lips. The attendants gather around while Ollie Powers' Syncopators deal out his apology. He stands his ground. He won't apologize, who may or may not be worth an apology, stands around waiting.
Then they come and get Arthur. One of the big boys get him. Throwing two strong arms around the slender shiek, the bouncer lifts him and carries him to the front. Arthur, hero of so many wild nights, is bundled into the street. It does not matter where the cabaret entertainer has had her hand scratched. Arthur is held to be to blame. And Arthur must apologize. Since he wouldn't the street's home. You never get to the point where you own those sort of places. It just seems like you do. It's positive Arthur would never have thrown out of Dreamland had Florence kept his way. But where do folks drift when they drift apart?

A Virigorous, Forceful Article Your Town May Need
In Birmingham alone there are nearly 80,000 Negro people, and most highly paid laboring men and women than any other one country in America. At least a million and a half dollars are paid to Negro men the labor market is increasing. Compared with expenses in other sections, Jefferson county and the adjacent ones are paying a wage that guarantees a greater profit than any other county in our country. These are not suggestions, or conjectures, nor doubtful expressions; they are facts substantiated by the slightest investigation.
We are living in a marvelous district. A place where all may find profitable endeavor who desire it. Nothin' in commerce is impossible for the Birmingham colored people in commerce to earnings to proper and profitable exchange. Millions of dollars are laying idle in the banks, in the pockets, and in various other places that might be at work, if the Negro would wake up. This doesn't mean that all of us are idle in the banks, but that every one is fit or prepared. But there are scores, yes, hundreds of these Negro men and women, whose character and business ability is sufficient to harness these funds and make a more substantial place for them in commerce for the coming generations, and establish a creditable place for race members.
No one will ever become more conceived in an individual or race than the individual or race has interest in himself. A wasteful man or a wasteful woman and cannot be trusted with positions where the welfare and comfort of a creditable number of people are involved. Races, like individuals, must establish their worth by successfully handline positions of trust in physical, moral and intellectual fitness. These qualities of exceptional worth must be proven among and with ourselves. We have the money, we have the brain, we have the resources, we have the opportunity. We have trailing and thriving city we have trampled these opportunities under foot. We have been asleep, we are blind, we are looking over and beyond the gold mine. When, if we would expand our forces, we would establish every commercial venture and operate it successfully to the everlasting credit of the race and open a way for those qualified members that are prepared for just such a task. We are independent.
Every dependent individual carries with him or her certain slave notions, and is, in fact, to some degree, carrying certain atmospheres of slave life. No dependent race can be accepted on the basis of any other respect for an independent race is. If the Negro would exercice more rights, it will be when he qualifies in the accepted sense for these rights. It will be when members will be bad, it will be when the race ceases to waste and frolic out its earnings and establish a more constructive and sensible regard for race members and a proper exchange of its earnings. If we have our women more fully regarded by men of other races as well as the men of our own race, it will be when we cease to allow them to be charities and make for them as far as practical, honorable employment within the group. If the Negro man is to have a higher respect by other races and groups, noah, will aid this respect more than a self-consciousness of his position in the world, and a more awareness of the women and children of his race.
It is altogether necessary that we take stock within, and measure our own strength. Consider as far as we may wasted opportunities, and gather ourselves in for a more substantial drive that the opportunities so far have not yielded to the juvenile counties will not be wasted, but developed to their full growth.
What if the Birmingham Negro would wake up? Banks would be established, life insurance companies, fire insurance companies, herdashers, dry goods stores, shoe stores, wholesale and retail grocery stores, restaurants, farms, brokerage b: sineses, laundries, soap factories, florists, hairmaking establishments, trust companies, mining corporations, furniture stores, candy factories, five and ten cent stores on the Kress plan, companies these things are poised to could be operated successfully if only were used the wasted money of the Negro aple of this county.

Colonel David P. Barrows, former president of the University of California, sailed for Africa to live a year among the Negro Senegalese and Sudanese to study their character and the governmental administration designed for their control. Revival of Mohammed among the 80,000,000 natives of Sudan is given as a cause for their arrest.

Prof. George Washington Carver, Success
George Washington-Carver, a professor of science at the Institute, Alabama, has been made a Fellow of the Society of Great Britain and awarded the Spirits 1922. These two honors distinguish Dr. Carver only persons of eminence, who have made an achievement, are admitted to the Royal Society. Carver Medal is awarded only to a person of affection who has made the most notable achievement during year.
A set of importance on which Prof. Carver's work that he dignified the peanut and the potato over a hundred products from the sweet potato hundred and fifty uses for the peanut: extracting the miracles wrought by this agricultural process of milk, cheese, caramels, chocolate in food, stock food, butter, flour, lard, linoleum, tree, wood stains, dyes, axle grease, soap, and ink—all from the heretofore almost world. From the potato this incomparable experience has taken tapicoa, flour, breakfast food, crubber. These are only a few of Dr. Carver's but are sufficiently amazing to show that he joins F. R. S. and Spingarn Medal.
It is a man who was born in slavery, but access found it and made the most of his opportunity. It of his persistent, intelligent and quiet efforts, old age the world labels him a Success, and he and achievements as worthy examples for others. It is to him that we look for light in a new kind of agricultural chemistry; it is to him that substitutes that are "just as good" when our potato has been exhausted or drained on not a few of us and many of our luxuries; it is to Dr. Carver Carver, Negro scientific expert, that the bush-tended for distinct contributions to human progress.
Carver was "discovered" and taken to Tuskegee more than 30 years ago by the late Dr. Booneon. At the time of his going the now great institution was just getting a start. Booneon was eloquently preaching his gospel of labor," but it was only being mildly headed of black workers who surrounded him. The man tillered from year to year yielded poor returns; reception received from what was harvested fell to the scale of a decent standard of living. But on thought he saw wonderful possibilities in occupations which most of his fellowmen of it pursued, if only intelligence were made the prize he established a department of agriculture and set Dr. Carver, a graduate from Iowa State work—with what admirable results the public.
By years ago farming in the South was a concern—a drudgery to be avoided, especially by claim to an "education." But today men preen in the South as carefully as they prepare medicine. That is what is called progress. Polars and thinkers give the major credit to Negro step ahead.
Dr. George Washington Carver, a professor of science at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, has been made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Great Britain and awarded the Spinning Medal for 1922. These two honors distinguish Dr. Carver because only persons of eminence, who have made distinct achievement, are admitted to the Royal Society of the Spinning Medal is awarded only to a person of descent who has made the most notable achievement during the preceding year.
The act of importance on which Prof. Carver's own hangs is that he dignified the peanut and the potato-developed over a hundred products from the sweet potato over a hundred and fifty uses for the peanut:
Among the miracles wrought by this agricultural gaze are the extracting of milk, cheese, caramels, chocolate the breakfast food, stock food, butter, flour, lard, linoleum, stant coffee, wood-stains, dyes, axle grease, soap, powder, and ink—all from the heretofore almost worth peanut. From the potato this incomparable experiment with the soil has taken tapicoa, flour, breakfast food, food, and rubber. These are only a few of Dr. Carvett's coveries, but are sufficiently amazing to show that he just deserves his F. R. S. and Spingarn Medal.
Here is a man who was born in slavery, but accustomed life as he found it and made the most of his opportunities. The result of his persistent, intelligent and quiet efforts that in his old age the world labels him a Success, and back up his life and achievements as worthy examples for others to follow. It is to him that we look for light in a new field—the field of agricultural chemistry; it is to him that a turn for substitutes that are "just as good" when our power of supply has been exhausted or drained on not a few of necessities and many of our luxuries; it is to Dr. George Washington Carver, Negro scientific expert, that the best race is indebted for distinct contributions to human progeny.
Dr. Carver was "discovered" and taken to Tufts Institute more than 30 years ago by the late Dr. Booer Washington. At the time of his going the new great dustrial institution was just getting a start. Booker Washington was eloquently preaching his gospel of the "dignity of labor," but it was only being mildly heeded the mass of black workers who surrounded him. The case that were tilled from year to year yielded poor returns to compensation received from what was harvested fell below the scale of a decent standard of living. But Dr. Washington thought he saw wonderful possibilities in the humble occupations which most of his fellowmen of the Black Belt pursued, if only intelligence were made the prime factor. So he established a department of agriculture at the school and set Dr. Carver, a graduate from Iowa State College, to work—with what admirable results the public now see.
Thirty years ago farming in the South was a condemnation—a drudgery to be avoided, especially by those who laid claim to an "education." But today men prepare for farming in the South as carefully as they prepare for law and medicine. That is what is called progress. White scholars and thinkers give the major credit to Negro for this long step ahead.

Building Dr. Carver's name to the list of contests, we think it begins a new era in N.Y.C. Heretofore the Negro's chief fight has been one of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Underick Douglass to DuBois is a continuous link for "rights." Except for the career of Booker Washington there would not be a single notable effort constructive race statesmanship up to the present. Washington laid the foundation, not necessitating with the hands only, but a broad and life-long of personal initiative on which politicians and lawyers may stand together. The only prerequisite intelligent cotton growers come first and, in things, they will create a place for the politics equally to lawyers and mechanics, to do laborers.
Douglass' chief claim to fame is his oratoryation—that is, the man is remembered and not but Booker Washington is known by the fruit of George W. Carver is famous for his contribuisions to welfare—is known by his works in behalts.

In adding Dr. Carver's name to the list of achievements, we think it begins a new era in high progress. Heretofore the Negro's chief fight has been in the rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness From Frederick Douglass to DuBois is a continuous line of agitation for "rights." Except for the career of Booker Washington there would not be a single notable effort in sound, constructive race statesmanship up to the present time. Dr. Washington laid the foundation, not necessary for working with the hands only, but a broad and liberal foundation of personal initiative on which politicians and cotton growers may stand together. The only prerequisite is that intelligent cotton growers come first and, in the nature of things, they will create a place for the politician. This applies equally to lawyers and mechanics, to doctors and common laborers.
Fred Douglass' chief claim to fame is his oratory and not his oration—that is, the man is remembered and not his works. But Booker Washington is known by the fruit of bore. Dr. George W. Carver is famous for his contribution to human welfare—is known by his works in behalf of humanity.
So Dr. Carver comes in what we call an era of expansion. Hundreds of young Negro men and women are leaving lege yearly. What do we expect of them? They will hardly become civil rights advocates, for that profession has almost wearied both whites and Negroes. But they must do something, hence they will seek to turn their talent into constructive channels—into channels of economic increase which will afford substantial jobs for members of their own race as well as gain prestige with white leaders of business. When this comes to pass more racial-recognition will come automatically. The race will be able to maintain its own aristocracy, have its own "inferests" that will be of political importance, be sufficiently knit together to make demand and sustain them by economic "pull."
Thus Dr. Carver's achievements come at a good time and lend hope and faith to those who would faint by the war.
