ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 15. — The Community Chest of Atlanta, Georgia, provides a budget of $34,500 for social work among Negroes in Atlanta. The work is done through six agencies, namely: Carrie Steele Orphanage, Leonard Street Orphanage, Gate City Free Kindergarten Association, Neighborhood Union, Urban League and Phyllis Wheatley branch W. V. C. A. These are welfare organizations applied by the colored people themselves in the endeavor to better their own condition. In reference to the effort the agency is making, the Atlanta Constitution writes: By helping Negroes to systematize the finances of these institutions, the Community, chest helps them to help themselves. Much of their budget will still come from colored givers, and it will be raised by colored leaders in the Community chest movement, but it will be done systematically and the financial condition of these worthy enterprises will be made secure. The Neighborhood Union especially emphasizes self-help. This organization of erotic colored women has divided the city into sixteen zones with a chairman in each. They are especially interested in housing and family conditions, and their method of improving these is by house to house neighborly visits, and the cultivation of a neighborly pride. Work of Orphanage No stronger appeal could be made to the heart of Atlanta than that of the orphanages. They care for numbers of little colored waifs and are full to capacity all the time. The Carrie Steele Orphanage accommodates fifty and the Leonard Street Orphanage sixty. The community chest assures food, warm clothing and kindly care for these little unfortunates. The Urban League is an agency dealing with industrial conditions. It has operated an employment bureau, and plans to up with each new factory which opens in Atlanta, seeking such Negro labor as is needed and following up this labor, seeking to add to its efficiency. The, Gate City Kindergarten and Day Nursery association does a greatly needed work among the children of colored women who work away from home all day. This association operates three kindergartens, which average about forty pupils each. It is not at all unusual to find colored children, sometimes mere babies, who are locked out of the house to play in the street all day while their mothers are working. These kindergartens and day nurseries take such children in and CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK The Bank to Bank on and Bankin 423 WOOD ST. CORNER WOOD & DIAMOND ST. LOUIS.

The train was en route from Memphis to St. Louis. care for them all day. The Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Y. W. C. A. carries out the regular Y. W. C. A. program for colored girls, especially emphasizing the working girls' program. A rooming bureau is conducted and girls' reserve work is carried on. Tuberculosis knows no color line and easily spreads from the colored neighborhoods to the white. This plague, wherever it is found, is fought by the Atlanta Tuberculosis Association. A colored branch with a colored board of directors is doing most valuable work in this line. Colored clinics are conducted and colored workers employed to follow up the work. Poverty also is a problem which knows no distinction of race, and the destitute members of the colored race find relief at the Associated Charities. Many touching cases of desertion or of poverty from sickness come from the association. Four visitors familiar with the welfare work among these families, and the effort is to have as high a standard of work as is done for the white families. A clearing house for colored activities and improvement of relations of colored to white people is provided by the Georgia Committee on Race Relations, with its Atlanta committee especially interested in the local field. This is an organization of white and colored leaders who are bent on cultivating good will between the races. They try to do this through working together for community betterment. The state committee has cooperated in combatting violence, especially lynching, and an improvement of health conditions, through aid to the state department of health, and sponsorship of assistance of Negroes with week, and in improving school conditions through co-operation with the state department of education. The local Atlanta committee has aided in problems relating to the public schools, in securing a colored park, in launching the Urban League and in the relations of white and colored churches. All of these agencies are working for the "man farthest down."

Uncle Henry Dead; Atlanta Mourns Uncle Henry Dead; Atlanta Mourns ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 15—West End Tuesday was the scene of sorrow. "Uncle Henry" Gordon, antebellum Colored resident, who had reached the age of 102 years and who had fought beside his master in the Confederate army, was dead. Uncle Henry had endeared himself to hundreds of the residents of the vicinity, and his many white and colored friends are said to have performed the last rites over the body of the faithful son of the south. When Uncle Henry's master entered the service of the Confederate army, Uncle Henry went, too. He went as the body servant of the young soldier, but he wore the Confederate gray and he knew the hardships of the Confederate armies. Uncle Henry had been there through it all.

A GOLDEN Opportunity to Get In On a Bona-Fide $3,000,000 Proposition On An Investment of Only $50,000.00 MAMMOTH STUPENDOUS OFFER OF THE Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims Rich From Grass Roots Down—Producing Free Milling Gold, Silver and Copper Ore Here Is the Co-Owner Plan:— "Tis a long lane that has no turning" is the statement of G. W. Miller, grizzled western financial magnate and mining expert, and president of the Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims, who, with his vast wealth is standing behind this company—child of his own brain—and said by him to be the practical solution to the race's pressing economic, social and political problems: Mr. Miller, a true son of the west, that fabled country which we have often read about but, few of us have ever seen, has spent 23 years in the vast solitude of that unexplored region, analyzing the country, has come out of that country, a powerful, picturesque figure, typical of the majestic solidarity of the mountains which have for so long been his companions, and brings to you a wealth of facts, supported by affidavits of western bankers and business men of integrity. Here are the salient and vital points: 1. The Property The property owned by the Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims comprises 700 acres of land in Pima County, Arizona, 60 miles west of the city of Tucson, the county seat. This land comprises one of the richest mining and ore districts in the entire country. These ores consist of gold, silver and copper. The ores occur from native metals, all grades, down to the average milling ore. 2. Not a Prospect The property is already being shown up for sale to big eastern companies. Several representatives of these companies have already been on the ground, and have carried favorable reports back to the organizations which they represent. So you can see that the proposition is not a prospect. Over $15,000 has been expended by the co-owners of the company in showing up the property and employees are working day and night to complete the work begun within the next six months. 3. Nation's Storehouse of Gold This 700-acre plot consists of 35 mines. *Over 800 feet of work has been done in sinking, shafts and driving in tunnels. Great gold-bearing ore veins have been shown up. The $50,000 still needed is for the purpose of completing the tunnels, and showing up to the satisfaction of the corporations interested in the proposition, the coarse gold zone and the zone of secondary enrichment for silver. These zones are known.

There are several millions of tons of this rock in sight. 4. Possibilities of Profit If this property is sold for $3,000,000, the price asked for, every co-owner will receive around $40 for every one dollar invested! This selling price is already in sight, and G. W. Miller, president of the company, is authority for the statement that when the showing-up process is completed, the property will sell for five times what he could get for it at present. This is why he is putting his co-owner proposition before the public, in order that they can line up with what he says "is the greatest mining financial plan ever offered to any people." The co-owner plan is a novel one, original and the idea has its origin from G. W. Miller himself. The entire amount of stock for sale is limited to $65,000. Of this amount $15,000 has already been subscribed for and the balance is going fast. (a) Go-owner interests sell from $5.00 up. (b) Your money will not be tied up longer than six months. (c) At the end of this time the property will have been sold and you will reap a return of around $40 for every dollar invested. 6. Financial Backing The company has not only the support, but the financial backing of some of the recognized-leaders of the race. All who have heard the co-owner proposition, have been convinced of its worth, of the integrity of its president, and the wonderful business opportunity it represents.

Open confession to the truth is glorious; acknowledgment satisfies conscience; it relieves the mind from mental suffering doubt and fear. Sometimes we are ostracised, cured, scorned; our friends rebuke, even those of our own house do lift up the heel against us. We may forfeit our life and earthly possessions for the acknowledgment. Though we may lose all, of this we are conscious: That the greatest portion we will receive of the abundant bounty which never diminishes, in the Kingdom of Life and Love, Mankind is in a state of restlessness. Their inner conscience do cry aloud for relief from theories and practice engraven in their mentality. They dare ask to be released from the prison house where they for centuries have been incarcerated. But with us, who have developed soul progression, by confession to the truth, we have this assurance: the bars of that prison which holds the soul captive will eventually be torn asunder and the light of deliverance will enable us to sing, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Confession to the truth of Moilien Spiritualism in the Philosophy and Pneumonia transforms the life of the individual. They are magnetized through unfoldment, in that we know that God is not a personal being. We see him everywhere, and wisdom manifest to all in all Nature. We absolutely know him a God of Love, not discriminating, and slow to anger, not jealous or revengful or a burning hell for us whom he has made for his glory. Yet more we know and understand in the confession of the truth, we see and commune with the cloud of witnesses who are hovering around us. Modern Spiritualism, Spiritualists, and Mediums of honest report are giving to souls of earth the most convincing array of concrete evidence in the Philosophy and Phenomona that any system has ever declared or demonstrated. Modern Spiritualism unfields need daily for the oppressed. Soul progression is for, and to all people through development. Fifteen million Spiritualists.

In connection with this anti-lytching measure which failed at passage at the last session of congress, in an address delivered in John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, of which the Rev. E. D. Madison is pastor. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Pittsburgh Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which Attorney Frank R. Steward is president. Congressman Dyer was introduced by Rev. T. W. Wallace, a life-long friend of the Dyer family. Congressman Dyer advanced many reasons why the anti-lynching bill, known as the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, should be enacted by the House, volume 2 facts showing why the measure was defeated at the last session of Congress and he also stated that he would re-introduce the measure at the next session of congress. He pointed out the many things that the Negroes of this country could do to create favorable sentiment for the measure, chief among them is for each Negro to send his senator and representative a letter, or a telegram asking them to support the bill; also get your white friends in your community to use their influence for the passage of the measure. "One of the greatest curses that ever befell a nation is that of mob violence. The U. S. leads in this barbaric curse. The victims of this curse are Negroes. The fair name of America must be secured; this curse must be obliterated;—Negroes must join, whole hearted and earnestly in this campaign of education to create favorable sentiment for this measure in order that the law may be rigidly enforced following its enactment," he concluded.

Fail To Identify Suspect As Stowe Township Killer County detectives last week were unable to identify William Smith, aged 30, of the Bedford Flats, Bedford avenue, as the man, who on October 6, shot and killed Thomas Rowland, aged 73, white, and committed an alleged attack on his 11-year-old grand-daughter. The killing presaged a serious racial disturbance, and culminated in the action of a self-appointed "rigilance committee," which ordered the Negro citizenry of Stowe Township to leave within 24 hours. The "zero hour" arrived, but the appearance of city and county police and detectives on the scene resulted in a calling-off of hostilities. A race riot was imminent, as colored citizens, following the advice of several leading attorneys, are alleged to have armed themselves to resist any effort of the whites to carry out their "get out" order.

Alonzo Savage, alleged "voodoo" doctor, charged with murder and said to have killed Miss Ethel Barthel, a white nurse, early in October, was indicted on a formal charge of murder by the November Grand Jury last week. Savage will be placed on trial November 19, and Attorney William H. Stanton has been appointed to defend the accused man. The brutal killing, and the alleged story of the accused man is cloaked in a shroud of deepest mystery, and developments of a truly sensational nature are expected to be unearthed when the case comes before the court. Savage, it is said, had told the young woman that he could cure her of her lills by a series of voodoopractices, and met her at the Hussey mansion on Center avenue, October 7, to get money from her in payment for his services. It was at this spot that the tragedy occurred. But the mysterious angle, and one of the angles which it is believed Attorney Stanton will use is the fact that Miss Barthel was a trained nurse of years of experience. Investigation after the girl's death disclosed the fact that she was soon to become a mother. Why she should have taken faith in Savage's claim to "voodoopism" is expected to play a prominent part at the trial. Again, it is alleged, that Savage and Miss Barthel were employed at the same home for some time. Is an illicit love romance the real cause of the tragedy? Another unique angle of the case was brought to light, when it is said that Miss Barthel's sweetheart, a taxi-driver, carried Savage from near the scene of the crime, to the place where he was arrested in the Hill district. Was this coincidence or was this an angle of a carefully worked-out plot? The trial is expected to furnish one of the biggest sensations in years. ATTENTION, HOME SEEKERS! ATTENTION, HOME SEEKERS!

Talbert did not achieve her aims nor carry out her projects without opposition. The path to fame was not flower strenn and some of the scars from the brains left a lasting mark. She was forging and generous to a fault. No sacrifice was too great for those she loved. The heritage of her progeny is rich in pleasant memories and the generations yet unborn will learn to cherish the memory of our friend for the deeds that she hath wrought." From an editorial in the Northwestern Advocate. Table Linen Important The real, original and genuine Thanksgiving dinner must boast a turkey and cranberry sauce if it is to be strictly orthodox in regard to the menu. Tradition demands this. Good linen plays a very important part in the way the table will look when set. It is always advisable to buy as good linen as you can possibly afford, for it proves a wise investment in the long run. An embroidered monogram is a handsome finish, to a good cloth, but it is less noticeable there than on the napkins which for dinner should be large and square. For embroidery the long sledder letters are preferred. It is a pretty sentiment at a Thanksgiving dinner; to use dishes which are heirlooms for one course. CARD OF THANKS The husband and family of the late Mrs. Ida Carson McCray express their deep appreciation to the many friends for the kindnesses shown them during their recent bereavement.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 10.—When the evening sun sank in the west, throwin' its rays through the autumnal foliage that clustered the hills overlooking the scene of the Atlanta-Union struggle, had witnessed the greatest game ever seen played here between two Negro college teams.

The whistle blew indicating the close of the greatest football battle ever fought in the South and gave the Crimson Hurricane an unquestionable decision of being supreme over all other Southern teams.

HAMPTON, VA., Nov. 15—The Howard-Hampton game, to be played at the local athletic field this Saturday, looms as THE game in the intercollegiate football world. With both teams sporting clean records, and with Hampton apparently headed towards the C. I. A. A. championship, the coming game between these two great schools will mark the real turning point insofar as the college championship of the North is concerned. Both Howard and Lincoln have been declared this season. Howard's goal line having been crossed but one time, while Hampton, thru their unexpected victory over Lincoln University on November 3, has again given concrete evidence of the fact that the famed Virginia institution is out to duplicate its font of last season. Both Teams Strong Born Teams Strong Hampton has stamped itself as one of the truly great teams of the season by the virtue of their ability to work behind with the punch necessary to put across the winning tally. With Gunn, Jacobs, Hardwick or Hargrove and Williams forming a backfield whose plunging strength has been clearly shown on more than one occasion, and with a line averaging 185 pounds from tackle to tackle, a pair of fast, tall, rangy terminal men, and a fighting spirit able to overcome almost insurmountable obstacles, the Virginia aggregation is out to win, and win at any cost. In two games this season, the unerring toe of Jacobs and Gunn have given their mates a victory, and it is said that the Hampton coaches are working overtime to perfect a baffling overhead system, which will be used to vary their line rushes. Howard, on the other hand, has practically built up its team around two veterans, stars of many an important contest. These men are former captain "Bulldog" Williams, at end, (not the "Bulldog" Williams, whose line plunging for Hampton has given him a reputation as Captain Doneghy. Howard's triple threat leader. Doneghy is truly one of the outstanding stars of the season, and with his teammate, has been responsible for practically half of Howard's gains this season. Williams, out of the game From Goal-Line To Goal-Line Literally speaking, that is the distance Paul Robeson, former all-American end, has been able to hurl the pigskin. Robeson, rated the greatest defensive end in the history of the game, starred with the Milwaukee Bears, a professional team. One day a discussion came up as to who could hurl a ball the farthest. Grasping the ball under one goal post, Robeson let lobse and the ball, spiralling perfectly, landed but a few feet from the other goal-line. D Robeson, in addition to his remarkable ability as a football player, is also a fine singer and actor. On the gridiron, he has few equals. He stands six feet four inches and weighs 225 lbs. It is believed in many circles that his heave has established a world's record. year before last because of a fractured leg, is back again in all his glory. And he and Donaghy work in perfect harmony and co-operation. Howard's gerial 'attack has been built around these two men. But Coach Watson, has instigated a system at Howard which has brought out all the latent strength in the team, and the play of the entire eleven grows apace as the two most important games on the schedule appear in the offing. The game will be a battle between Hampton's well-trained defensive strength, and Howard's Brilliant offensive, bottled up in Doneghy and Williams, with Contee and Peyton bearing their share of the advancing work. May Decide C. I. A. A. Title Saturday's game is likely to decide the C. I. A. A. honors. If Hampton is successful in defeating Howard, then an almost clear path to the championship can be seen, with only Virginia Union to mar an otherwise perfect picture, but Union is hardly as strong as last season, according to returns from games played, and although she has yet to lose a game, the tie score with Atlantic University Saturday hurts her charges some. On the other hand, Howard supporters are claiming that Hampton's win over Lincoln was somewhat in the nature of a fluke. Not that they are belitling the Hampton victory, but they point, and justly too, to the numerous penalties given to Hampton in the closing moments of play, which resulted in the lone touchdown. Much criticism has been hurled at Referee Gibson for his fifteen yard penalty to Lincoln, when the bill rested on their 16-yard line. Morgan sent in his reply, "I will have called "come on, fellows, lee-go," whereupon the referee inflicted the penalty according to the letter of the law. If Howard is able to win the game, then the big game between the two schools will decide the C. I. A. A. title.

MAUL LEROY ROBFSON. Peeping O'er The er The Gridiron By I. J. K. Wells Peeping O'er The Gridiron By I. J. K. Wells Game Showing Finer Developments Undoubtedly the Moleskin game is showing improvements. Accomplishments which in former days were regarded as stellar stunts between the goal posts are now becoming common place acts. This is especially noticed in drop-kicking and the finesse of coaching. Almost every reputable college plus those striving to become so have added specialists in coaching to their Athletic departments. As a result an entirely new brand of football is seen on more than a score of campuses from Wiley University in Central Texas to Lincoln in the Northeast and Morehouse in the Southeast. Each of several coaches have developed original formations which give great promise and stimulation to the creation of new plays to this unexcelled Collegiate sport. Who will not herald the day when our sport writers and grid fans will not have to read accounts of the old "Dartmouth Shift" or the "Tuff's balthus" It would indeed be inviting to read of something like Coach Aiken's Square or Watson's Triangle. As for drop-kickers we have a crop of 'em in Gunn of Hampton, Doneghey of Howard and Grudup of Lincoln. Can the South Lick the North? Beg parion stranger, we don't mean Confederates versus Yankees. We have in mind northern and southern football eleven. Intersectional games of this and previous seasons sheds some light and some darkness on it. football Cla National League Classic of Th league Park Philadelphia Last year Union and Morehouse met in Virginia. This year Morehouse met Howard in Washington. Morehouse lost to both of these northern teams. Again Atlanta University met union in Atlanta. Atlanta tied them. White colleges of the North almost invariably defeat those of the South. Are our own colleges in the same canoe? A test between best in each section might settle this. The Big Blue At Capitol Looks Impressive. The Bison is the "one and only" of the outstanding colleges- who has its goal line uncrossed. He still stands up in his boots for only one opponent has even scored upon her in any fashion. Howard scores have not been big yet they have been good, and consistent. However, her margins have been too little for comfort. The Bison's yet have to meet its great foe. The Seasiders and his bitterest rival, Lincoln. Hampton Shipwrecked Dope And Hope. Where is the owl what said Lincoln was to have a pair of Tech downs more the Seasiders? Hampton also has a strong team. It seemeth she hath timber for another C. I. A. A. ark. But this ark don't seem to be no Temple of refuge for any of her grid foenem. Lincoln lions had bold eyes on grid iron glory but Hampton was not an angel of hope. Will Hampton again lick the Big Three (Lincoln) Howard and then Union? Is Hampton Again Headed Towards C.I.A.A.Grid Title? 7-3 Victory. Over Lincoln One of Season's Upsets. All Eyes on Howard Contest. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 15.—Hampton, last year's G. I. A. A. champs and the school which produces some of the greatest football teams in the history of the race, is seemingly set on another championship. Last week Hampton wrecked the dope and the hopes of Lincoln University, when they were returned winners, 7—3, in one of the most sensual football games of the season. Hampton, especially this year, seems to have the knack of coming from behind with just enough punch to score a victory. In two games played just before the Lincoln classic, Hampton managed to win 7—6; the unerring to Gun and Paine turned the trick. Hampton has still to meet Howard and Union Universities, the third of the "Big Three". Will she duplicate her foat of last year and again win the C. I. A. honors? Scientists Compare Wills and "Babe" Ruth CHICAGO, TLL., Nov. 15—Scientists dealing with the powers of athletes last week, took up a discussion of Ruth's hitting power and the power of Wills' wallop. Wills would connect with one of Walter Johnson's curves, according to a study, to nate in a mighty homerun, greater even, than the distance registered by Ruth's homers. Va. Team Has Not Been Defeated in Three Years HARRISONBURG, VA. Nov. 15. The Harrisonburg Athletic Club football team won its first big victory of the season when they defeated the Staunton Blue Sox, 12-0. Touchdowns were made by Black and Solomon. The line plunging of Wells was the feature of the game. The team has a remarkable record, not having been defeated in three years. Loendi Club To Open Season On Next Thursday Loendi basketball team will open the season Thursday, November 22, at Labor Temple with the Strong Attawa Club of Homewood. The Attawa Club always plays Loendi a very close game and contains some of the best players in Western Pennsylvania. Walter Waite, their captain, is a professional baseball player. He has led the Attawa Club for five years. Dorsey and Bell are former Carnegie Tech players. Dorsey was captain of Carnegie Tech last season. McClelland is running mate Waite at forward. Gailbreth, Mullan and Davies also play and are big and fast. The Loendi team this season will have two new men who should improve the aggressiveness of the club. Edwards, the former Hampton captain, who played a short time for Loendi in 1920, has developed into one of the best floor men in the game. Edwards played with "Pappy" Ricks in New Jersey and came highly recommended by Ricks. Shelton, the last year's Y. M. C. A. center, has developed so much in the last few years that he should be right this season. Shelton has the advantage of this year in Pittsburgh, most of the height and ability to handle the ball. Gayle, Young, Betts, Posey will make up the rest of the squad. Ricks' name appeared among the Commonwealth players before the start of the season, but "Pappy" came to Pittsburgh and is now practicing regular with Loendi. The big game will start promptly at 9 P. M., an effort is being made to have special orchestras to play at the Loendi basketball games. Bill Page and Fritz Hawkins are gathering together some good musicians, who will play the preliminary game. Woronin Community boys will play the preliminary to this game, which will insure a fast clean game. We will see another vision of Loendi on Thursday, November 22nd.

Hampton Moves Step Nearer To Championship Hampton Moves Step Nearer To Championship "Seasiders" Administer 6-0 Defeat to Shaw in Second Rush for C. I. A. A. Honors. By P. Bernard Young, Jr. RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 15. Hampton Institute's versatile eleven won its fifth consecutive victory on Friday and moved a step nearer the coveted intercollegiate championship, when, at the final sounding of the referee's whistle, they held the big end of a 6-0 score. Hampton kicked to Shaw's 10-yard line and Shaw advanced the ball to their 33-yard line, where T. T. Coleman, captain and star right tackle of the "Seasiders," downed the Shaw back. Shaw rushed the ball for three successive first downs. Shaw then tried a shift on her next play. "Pete" Taylor broke through the interference and downed Taylor, the Shaw back, for a loss. Shaw attempted a drop kick, which was blocked and covered by T. T. Coleman on the 50-yard line. Williams hit the line for 8 yards. On the next play Hampton fumbled, but recovered and kicked. Shaw successively scored a winning consistently wanted to Hampton's 40-yard line. Hampton, led by the great line plunging of Williams and Hardwick, rushed the ball for a first down. A pass was completed from Gunn to Jacobs. This netted a first down. At the end of the first quarter the "Seasiders" had worked the ball down to Shaw's 4-yard line. In the second quarter Hampton lost the ball, when tackled, and thereby lost her chance to score. Both teams then engaged in a punting duel, until Hampton received the ball on her 45-yard line. Thru the brilliant plunging of Williams and a perfectly executed pass from Gung to Jacobs, which netted 21 yards, Hampton was put in a position to score. She did. Williams carried the ball over on a line plunge from the 5-yard line. Hampton, however, failed to score the extra point. The half ended with Hampton fighting for another touchdown in possession of the pigskin on Shaw's 17-yard line. In the last half the battle settled into a punting duel, except in the last quarter, when Hampton, thru a pass from Hargrove to Pindle, and more superb line-rushes, got the ball within Shaw's 5-yard line. Shaw braced and Hampton was unable to advance. Shaw resorted to passes in the last part of the game-but to not avail. The lineup: Hampton, 6 Shaw, 0 Ruffin . L. E. Bright Taylor, J. P. L. T.

First Game The Blue competition of love and only won them from the third girl out of 21, the first the Yorkers Nine young men have been killed so far this full playing football, the favorite college "sport" in the United States. This is a greater fatality than is shown in five years in prize-fighting, which is supposed to be the most brutal of sports. In the prize ring a man has but one opponent and he knows that man is going to administer the utmost punishment. In football he has to watch eleven opponents, all of whom are doing their utmost to administer surrepticious blows and cuffs. In the prize ring the pugilist's fist is incased in a padded glove in football a player may use his bare fist, his elbow or his heel. This is in the rugby game, where the ball is seldom kicked, but is carried. There are for less fatalities in soccer, or kicking, game. That may account for its lack of popularity. Football is becoming so deadly that it is supplanting bull-fighting in Spain. What would our college trustees say if they were asked to permit bull-fighting as a college sport? It is far less deadly than football as far as human beings are concerned. Nine lives so far. Is the game worth this terrible sacrifice? GRIDIRON DUST 99 FROM SOUTHERN COLLEGES By "Tiny Red" Walker Atlanta University. Atlanta, Georgia. On The Eve of The Game With Union. Dear Tim—I know you are anxious to know how things went on the day before the Union game; and since you were able to be with us I am going to usher you into a few of the hangings. ffered. No longer will they be content to be overlooked in the rating. Tim, old scout, four dear neighbors. Morehouse, were very conspicuous on the Union sideline rooftop. For Union with all their might during the earlier part of the game. But so—we could not get a whisper out of them during the latter par and the end of the game. Well, you must know how anxious everybody was to see the fellows from Union. They came and received a running reception. Of course they displayed the attitude of a group who had decided that they would run up forty points in tomorrow's game. They also decided that they would have us erect a temporary hospital for the players who were destined to be hurt in the fray. Of course, all these things are the forerunners of a grid battle so we paid no attention to them. Today we saw Marry Brown play Morehouse to a standstill; Morehouse nudging out by a close score of 6-0. Did you ever a see a line hold I'll never be holding it back on the goal line did Morris Brown. First down, and a half yard from goal. Morehouse could not push it over. Morehouse bleeded the kick and recovered on the one vardir line. First omen and a yard to cross the goal line. Now it is to third him and a few inches—Morehouse falls math to cross the covered line. Morris Klock kicks again. Kelly and Sturn work a beautiful double pass on an end run and the ball rests once more on Morris Brown's one-half yard line. Will the Tiger fall for a tilted time to cross the goal line? Has the Tiger lost his old fighting power? These are the questions running through the Morehouse ranks—Burleson one-tin trick—ALAS! The tiger has succeeded and the curtain falls on the most nerve-tracking episode of a one-year drama. The follows from Union witness of the game. So did the entire Crimson Hurricane squad. As the crowd surged from the field all thoughts were of the Atlanta-Union game of tomorrow. Tim, old Ioy, I sit here at this old machine handling away at these toys all thoughts are of tomorrow's game. Although in the wish of my life will not be grenade (for my log is still in this plaster of pants cast) and I must be content to allow the silhouettes, my spirit is going to be in every play and to fight in tight with constant three on the silhouettes. When I write you tomorrow after the game I am expecting news for you. Old man, I guess I had better with the car and store up plenty of energy for long duty in tomorrow. After The Union Game Atlanta University. Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta U—Union 0. Dear Tina—Well, it is all over now except the shouting and I am going to try to write you a few things about the game. Well, first of all we are still looking for the forty points which Union decided that they would roll up capture the game, and we are searching it for the boasted superiority of football brides which is supposed to dominate Southern football when "up East way" meets "up South." Tim, the boys displayed all of their "big down" football in their class yesterday and Coach Alken's like demonstrated that it was and is still capable of holding its own with the best opposition that can be of- ferred. No longer will they be content to be overlooked in the rating. Tim, old scout, our dear neighbors, Morehouse, were very conspicuous on the Union sideline rooting for Union with all their might during the earlier part of the game. But lo-we could not get a whisper out of them during the latter part and the end of the game. "We want Morehouse!" was the cry of the Atlanta gradient body during and after the game. But, Tim, I do not believe that Morehouse will be willing to meet us under any circumstances how the 18-0 defeat handed them by Union last year is too vivid in their minds. And yet they claim that Atlanta has a mediocre football team. Tuckesson was in town and at the game also. They had been to Orangeburg, S. C., where the played State College Friday. Tuckesson won. 1986. They yelled hustily for A. L. "Red" Dabney was very much in evidence at the game today. Heumpired and it seemed a hard matter for him to resist taking a part in the fray. "Gee!' fellows, you are really a hard tackling group," he said to have remarked after the game. (He was spending to the Atlanta team.) Tim, we are wondering what Auburn coaches will be saying now, "Tubby" Johnson and the boys from Fisk will be in town next Saturday to battle with Atlanta and I think I'll keep an eye out to see how the stock runs down there. Well, I got to continue chatting the game until I throw my crashes away. Some like mutual laughs them back to me after the game. We are expecting a hard fight with Fisk Saturday, old top. You know what that means, hard practice all the week. All of the players came out of the games in good condition and we will be able to send a strong lineup against Fisk. Goel! there goes the sapper bell, so I am going to going to semper over and get some "eats." So hoor! Followers of football will get a chance of positive strength of teams in the South in comparing the results of the two inter-sectional clashes which brought Southern teams in competition with Eastern teams. Morrison lost to Howard while Atlanta and Union played a scoreless, Virginia Union won the C. I. A. A. championship by 22 and seconded in the race last year while Howard dropped to fourth place when Lincoln defeated her on Thanksgiving. Hampton won the C. I. A. A. A. championship last year. Hampton has already defeated Lincoln and she meets Howard today. Union will face Hampton on Thanksgiving Day. If Hampton defends Howard today, then the Thanksgiving struggle between Hampton and Union will give Atlanta an important rating. No All-American team will be complete without the names of Lamar tackle (Atlanta); Leake, center (Atlanta); and Colum (Atlanta), at halfback. The Athena Constitution and Athena Journal, two of the leading white papers of the South, carried glowing accounts of the Athena Union game after their representatives had declared that they had witnessed the greatest game ever played in Athena between Negro schools. Today Athena will do battle with one of the greatest passing teams in the South. With "Tubby" Johnson at fullback for Fisk, football fans THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Va. Normal, with Puzzling Overhead Attack, Proves Capt. Doneghy, Rushed Into Game in Third Quarter, Adds Punch Which Gives Mates 19-7 Victory. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 15. The Howard Eleven punished the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, of Petersburg, Virginia, Saturday afternoon, November 10th, in the American League Park, by a score of 19 to 7. With a number of substitutes playing for the "Blue and White" eleven in the first half, two touchdowns were secured over the chesty Virginians against a lone touchdown for themselves. In the second half, some of the regulars took their places and within a short time the "Capital City" boys had secured another touchdown, after which the extra point was awarded to them by penalty. The first scoring came in the second quarter. Petersburg attempting a forward pass which Edgar Long, Howard's right end, knocked to the ground. Then Coles' attempt to dropkick was blocked by "Bulldog" Williams, Howard's famous left end, who recovered the ball in the twirling of an eye and romped 70 yards down a clear field for a touchdown. A forward pass for the extra point failed. The "Bison," having tasted blood again proceeded down the field, following Petersburg's kick-off, bringing the ball to their opponents' three-yard line in six successive downs. Here a forward pass on the fourth down resulted in a penalty for the visitors; the ball being placed on the one-yard line, where Doison charged through tackle for the second touchdown. Again the extra point failed. Petersburg Opens Up Tsen Petersburg opened up. With Coles and Epps bearing the brunt of the offensive work, the ball was quickly worked into Howard territory. A Jumble gave Howard the ball, but Petersburg intercepted a forward pass on Howard's 28-3-1 line. On the next play, Epps Petersburg specied half-back, snuck up the right side of the line, sprinted down the field as the ball was stopped, received a perfect forward pass and went over for the touchdown, which has been scored against Howard this season. Coles drop-kicked for the extra point just before the half ended. Donghey Rushed In Soon after the opening of the third quarter Donghey was sent into the game. Neither team scored during this quarter. The fourth quarter was marked by a sensational aerial attack by the visitors, which threw a real score into the home fans. Two pass-sniffed the visitors 75 yards, and placed them on the seventeen yard line. Another forward pass, perfectly executed netted 14 more yards. Then Howard stiffened, took the ball on downs, and kicked out of danger. Immediately the visitors again used the forward pass system, causing 35 yards in two perfect attempts. A fumble again spotted their chance and Captain Danceny stepped into the breach with a 50-yard dash. On the next play he netted 10 more yards, and with Coutte and Striplin assisting carried the ball to the two-yard line, where Blackmon rushed it over. Howard's team outclassed the Virginians, making fourteen first downs to the visitor's five. The only weakness was in Howard's defense against aerial attack, and the visitors made all their big gains on the tie-line. Howard Position Petersburg Williams . L. E. T. Brown Smith . L. T.

The gerrish attack which spelt disaster for Morsheau on last Thanksgiving day will have to be taken care of if the Crimson Hurricane expects to duplicate their win of last year. Fans in this part have not forgotten the Johnson to Lunceford aerial attack which Fisk carries stored away in her bag of tricks. Eastern Snapshots By W. Rollo Wilson Jack Renault, the Canadian "heavy," has achieved some measure of success in the last few months. Two of his stepping stones were George Godfrey and Floyd Johnson. Previous to the Johnson encounter Jacques of Hudson Bay radioloc to the universe that Harry Wills was his next objective. And now, from the safe confines of a Caskill hunting lodge, he announces that he will refuse to meet Wills for at least six months. He says that he feels he needs more experience, with a few good fights when his belts do flare. He is able to tackle the Brown Panther. This decision by Renault comes as a big surprise, as it had been thought that he would be eager to grab a chance to get into the "Big Time." Again, with pardonable pride, we avoid saying "We told you so!" We called the turn on the Baltimore Blackox situation a month ago. For the reasons enumerated by us Mr. Spedden announces that he will "scrap" his ball club and build another. Simon Peter Hill, which is slang for "Ole Pete," has been engaged as manager with full authority to hire and fire (One of his first "fires" should be the "subway" person.) Pete managed the Milwaukee N. N. league team last year. He has been in baseball since the days when "caught on the first bounce" was out. He was well along in years when Danny McCillian pitched a no-hit game for Sol White's original Philadelphia Giants. His is a ripe experience. Of the present team it is said that only Rejo, Allbritton, Lindsay and Wilson will be retained. Of course, it is the hope of the owners that Hill will conduct a personal raid on Rube Foster's league. Which is another reason why this is a foolish question: "Are you going to the Negro world's series next fall?" The Pennsylvania Boxing Commission desires to emphasize the fact that it licenses that does not against participants and officials for boxing or wrestling exhibitions. There are seated by the clubs or promoters. The next upset of the dage will be on Saturday at Hampton. Sure it's bound to be an upset, whether you hit on Howard or the Lack Bay folk. From this angle it looks as if the educated toe of that son of a Gunn may make history. One feet slices out and that is we are going to have a line on both Howard and Lincoln. Hampton 7. St. Paul of Lincoln 3. St. Paul 3. Thus sayeth Comparative Score. Now the recieit is this: Take the scores of those two games, add to them the tally of the ingrengling struggle, mix 'em together in a cocked hat, put down two and carry one and the result will be the name of the loser on Turkey Day. Sample, yes? What a whale of a team that Santa Clara outfit in the Cuban league is! The comparatively well known J. Henry Lloyd says it looks like the best-balanced team he has seen in many a day. Mea, Oms and Charles-ton in the outfield! Duncan, Warfield, Moore and Marcelle in the infield! Rojon and Duncan to catch! Dave Brown, Curry, Rogan, Mondez, Dibut to pitch! This aggregation of breaks and knives has stepped into the lead, largely through the supernatural fielding and hitting of that infield. Dave Brown pitched an eleven inning 0-0 tie against Mariano, fanning 11 and yielding 7 hits. Almendares defeated Hawkins in a 12th-binding struggle by 3-2, Boada and Fabre opposing Minnell, Lloyd and Torrentee led the attack for the Reds, but it was a battle one. Doele's single, a sacrifice and Kahin's hit won out in the 15th. George Moore, the Pacific coast fight manager, who has adopted New York, is planning a big winter. He has several boxers ready for an active campaign and is hopeful that the new commission in Pennsylvania will stimulate boxing in Philadelphia. He is already trying to get a return match for Tate against George Godfrey at the Arena, Quakertown's big sport club. Much work is also mapped out for Willie Walker, Bobby Risdon, Kid Buller and Danny Edwards. It's passing strange about Danny Edwards. A year ago the boy was considered a coming champ. Now there are those who insist that he has already arrived as a chump. We do not know. Perhaps the boy was overrated by the Harlem news-vendors. He did have one or two good fights in his system. If he can "come back" glory and gold await him. From New York comes an "official" announcement that Siki and Norfolk will battle in Madison Square Garden on November 20th. This, gentle reader, is the last time we shall broadcast this fight, which has begun to smell like something Thomas Catt brought in. The "Philadelphia Dispatch," a weekly political paper, in a recent issue names among "Progressive Philadelphiaians" our Charles Fred White, State Boxing Commissioner. The writer of the article most evidently does not agree with James Isaminger of the "North American." In a half-column write-up he reviews Mr. White's life and activities as a student, athlete, soldier and business man. Bob Douglas' "Big R" Five have started well. Their Saturday night games are drawing crowds to the Renaissance casino on Seventh avenue, Hurlem, and already they are being boosted as "runners-up to the Commonwealth." Meanwhile never a line appears about Alpha, St. C., Spartans and the other so-called amateur teams. New Yorkers are tacitly admitting that amateur basketball cannot be a success any longer; that the fans will support only the best. The Metropolitan Basketball Association is dead, indeed it should have died abnormally. It was activated and motivated by ambition, selfishness and greed. When it failed to uphold its own rules when star players were the guilty ones the death toll was scured. May the day return when such teams as Alpha, St. C., Monticello, Hampton and Howard will dominate the basketball courts. But while the buck-passing and double-crossing remain the favorite sports of our noble athletes and aluistic writers, such a condition cannot obtain. Someone is wanted to fight Ermina Spalia, the Italian champion, in Rome on February 22, 1921. Signor Giuseppe Carpengo, of that city, has cabled his New York representatives to get Harry Wills in case Jack Dempsy does not want to make the trip. A professional baseball team is like an octopus—it reaches its tentacles to all points for members. When the season is done they scatter to all corners of the western hemisphere. Take Danny McCillan's Giants, the team which Rube Foster says is the coming champion of the East. Lockhardt, the third baseman, is coaching the Mozris Brown University football team in Atlanta, Ga. Springfield, shortstop, is playing football with Atlanta U. Pitcher Franklin is attending Hebson College in South Carolina U. Medlock, catcher, is at Gramterville, S. C. Peacecock is a clerk in the Penny Savings Bank, Waycross, Ga. Letty Williams is in Albany, Ga. Baptiste, Gillespie and McDonald, all pitchers, together with Dallard and Crump, will leave soon for Palm Beach, where they will play winter ball. Garfield will winter in Chester and Baldy Brown will bilicate in Jersey. Captain Ricks (not the illustrious "Pappy") is already scouting for new material and has five fresh hands signed up for next season. Secretary Joe Solewick, just back from Chicago, held several conferences with Rube Foster and brought back a lot of dope with him. Joseph, however, is not ready to disclose his hand. Virginia Seminary Wins From J. C. Smith (A. R. Dawson). CHARLOTTE, N. C., Nov. 10. Virginia Seminary, aided by the great work of Lanier, 220 lb. full- back, defeated Smith here today 13- 0. The most tense moment of the game came in the first quarter when the Smith team with its knees resting on its own goal line held the Virginia team for downs. Smith was outweighed. Caviness and Gordon were the shining lights for Smith in the backfield while Mur- phy, Majors, Steele and Wilson were making history in the line. Whiddle divided honors with Lanier for Virginia. WINTER'S AND SUMMER ECHOES By William Dismukes There being no active food for conversation. "The Hot Stove League," mythical thing which is kindled with enough "I Told You So." It's and other pre-season dope to keep the first interest of base ball a flame, is about to be lighted. plenty for discussions. Why Kansas City Won Not claiming to be an authorit upon the subject, it's a well prove fact that a base ball team is a p nant winner in the same ratio its pitching staff. In Currie, Roga Judging from the turn of affairs in the Western section of the Negro National League, there is fuel aptly to be found. In the first place, Kansas City, the team that has been picked by many critics for two seasons, to win the pennant, came into the contrary and did that by the contrary to this fact. Rube Foster's American team whom the mob blasted critics argued had a fixed claim on the matron finished third: The two above mentioned facts along will give the second-guessers Why Kansas City Won Not claiming to be an authority upon the subject, it's a well proven fact that a base ball team is a pennant winner in the same ratio as its pitching star. In Currie, Rogan was a promising youngster. Bell, whom they added to their ter along mid season, the Kansas City outfit can well boost the most consistent winning pitchers in the League. This fact coupled with the addition of Johnson, an outfielder and the supplanting of Crawford whom the players seemed not to have a friendly feeling towards, by the veteran, Mendez, proved the deciding factor in their pennant winning success. Failure Of The Three Following. Clubs Detroit, Chicago and Indianapolis, finishing in the order named, had any other requisites that Kansas City might boast. That is fielding hitting and base-running. Detroit, started the season with practically two pitchers in shape, Cooper and Force. With Alexander, who contracted a sore arm during the training season, rounding into form about the middle of June and the addition of a dependable right hander in Coombs, they wrested first place from the then pace-setting Indianapolis Club. The American Giants, beginning the season with the largest pitching staff in the league kept pace with the leaders for more than a month of the League race, when all of his gunners ran out of powder at one and the same time. Ruth's number of reserves and his successful exchange of players, during the far end of the season keeping him in third place. Indianaapolis, beginning the season with an entirely new battery, pressed the surprise of the League, holding first place for the first month and half of the league race. In Corvett, Conner, Clark and Newcomon the Hoosiers had a staff which vied honors with the others in the League, Clark's return to school just on the eve of their departure on their first road trip, proving their undoing. Lost fourteen out of twenty-one games played on their initial trip, they returned home in fourth place and although gaining in percentage during the remainder of the season they were never able to rise any any further. Cohesion is the fact that DeCosta's confidence is the ninth, the three games out of five knocked the Hoosiers out of first place on their initial trin to that place. Detroit later defeated Chicago and moved into first place and on the Hoosiers' second trin to Detroit, Detroit was drained from the top run, when the Hoosiers returned the compliment by defeating them three out of five. The second division club will be jaired in the next week's issue. 'Jazz' Byrd, Lincoln Half-Back, Season's Outsianding Star Lad Who Played Leading Role in Last Year's Classic, One of Fleetest Men in Football. CHESTER COUNTY. Lincoln University, Nov. 15—"Jazz" Bird, the sensational Lincoln University quarterback seems to be already enrolled for this season's football hall of fame, and has set his cap for a place on the mythical All-American team. This younester, who starred in last year's contest between Howard and Lincoln in Washington, D.C., thus far is the outstanding star of the season. Birdy has an uncanny ability to pick the right play at the right time, and it was due to his phenomenal playing that Lincoln was returned winner over the strong West Virginia Collegeate eleven. Birdy does everything well. His shunts of tackles are always good for yardage; his trips around the terminals rank him in with the game's greatest, and his speed makes him a triple threat for he can pass, punt and run with the ball. Birdy is indeed one of the greatest stars ever developed in a colored institution and his name will rank in Lincoln history along with those of the Young brothers, "Silent" Parr, "Whirlwind" Johnson, and others too numerous to mention. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 15.—Danny Edwards, Pacific Coast champion, wilt down to defeat at the hands of Tommy Murphy, have last week after one of the best battles ever witnessed. Edwards put up a game fight but Murphy was too much for him. In the first two rounds Edwards displayed remarkable speed, but in the latter stages of the fight, Murphy's ruggedness overcame the westerner's boxing ability and the litter won easily. Spartan Whirlwinds Want Games NEW YORK, Nov. 15. The Spartan Whirlwinds are in the field for games with teams light or heavy, at home or abroad. Club desires of booking games can write to Douglas Hudson, Manager, 103 W. 115th street, Apth. 37. SEVEN Amateur Classic National League To Meet In Chicago, Trade Rumors Heard CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 15.—The Neoero National league will hold its fifth annual meeting at 3344 Indiana avenue the first Thursday in December, where, besides the election of officers, trades, schedules, umpires and other business of importance will be taken up.

It seems to be about the only topic of conversation, and everybody is making preparations to entertain the visitors during their stay, in royal fashion. It is reported that all of the box seats have already been sold, and there is a mad rush for reserve and general admission tickets. It is conceded that the crowd at this game will that of any previous year, and the management is making preparations to erect emergency seats in case there are more than the 20,000 people they are expected. Graduate Manager Alexander says he feels sure that the courier will be perfect for he has covered the game with a $2,500 vain insurance policy. The Philadelphia alumni of Howard and Lincoln have united their forces in an effort to make all of the affairs surrounding Thanksgiving have a distinct college atmosphere and flavor. On Thanksgiving eve there will be the annual contest of the Robert C. Ogden Association of the John Wanamaker Store. The hands participating in this contest will be the R. C. Ogden, the Imperial Lodge of Ells, (New York) Band and the Howard University R. O. T. C. Band. These are considered three of the best bands in the country, and the contest will be great. This affair will be held at the Third Reminent Armory, Broad & Wharton streets, and will serve as a convenient place for the before-the-game-meeting of the many visitors who will gather in Philadelphia. On Thursday night there will be a Reunion Reception and Rally as the same place. This will participate of the nature of a reception to the teams, the winning band, the Alumna and the student bodies of both institutions.

EIGHT When Dick Whittington was a very small boy his mother and father both died and left him alone in the world. As he was a poor boy and did not even have a penny with which to buy food, he was forced to earn his own living by washing pots and pans in the kitchen of a wealthy London merchant. He did not mind working, but the cook was always scolding him and beating him. Poor Dick was very unhappy. But not only one was unkind to him. The footman used to read him stories, and as time went on he taught him how to spell and how to read so that the boy could amuse himself. Even the London merchant and his wife and his daughter—whose name was Alice, all of whom lived in the front of the big house where Dick worked, treated him kindly. whenever they saw him; but this was not often. One day Dick climbed to the top of a high oak tree and caught Alice's purrr which had flown up there. The girl was so pleased that she gave Dick a penny. Now Dick knew just what he wanted to spend that penny for. Every night the rats and the mice kept him awake, and Dick did not like this as you may well imagine; so when he could sneak out of the house without being seen by the cook, he went directly to the cat store and bought himself a cat. After that he was able to sleep nights for the cat ate up all the rats and mice in no time at all. Dick was washing some pans one morning when the merchant called all of his servants to him. "I am sending a ship across the water," he said. "You may all send something on it to a foreign land, and there it will be sold or exchanged for things of greater value." The servants all had something to send, except Dick. "Have you nothing to send?" asked the merchant. "I have a cat," Dick replied. "Well, send that then," said the merchant; and with tears in his eyes Dick brought his cat and sent it away on the ship. Without his cat to play with, the poor boy became very lonesome; and as the cook grew more and more disagreeable than ever, he decided to run away. He reached the outhirts of London and sat down on a Bedtime Stories Ina PullmanSmoker (Lincoln Service) It was a clear night, with mellow moonlight streaming in the car, and the smoking compartment was well filled with travelers, many of whom, before retiring, were awaiting their first view of the famous Horseshoe Curve of Western Pennsylvania. The announcement of the porter that "The Horseshoe's three minutes west, gentlemen," was a signal for an exquisit of smokers to the car platform, where they could partake of the panoramic treat for which they had denied themselves an earlier retiring hour. "Seen the curve, sir?" inquired the efficient porter, as I continued to puff away on my pipe, all unmindful of the Horseshoe and its incidental scenic effects. "Many times—and I suppose you see it every day, don't you?" I asked, as I watched the porter's face break into a half smile. "I've seen it every other day for the past two weeks, but today's my last trip this way until next year, I guess," he replied. "How's that?" Are you quitting?" "No, not until the end of October," he answered. "I've got a two-weeks run out of Pittsburgh, down the Ohio river; then, back home to the kids. It's been a great season, too," he explained enthusiastically, before I had time to question him further. (For I had become strangely interested in the clean-cut fellow, of splendid poise and refined personality.) "You see, I've been up this way the entire season. Had a run from New York to Canada for a whole month. Then, from New York to Washington. Next, I was a chaircar man through Eastern Pennsylvania, and after this next run down the Ohio river, I shall have covered the principal cities in the East. I was glad to have the opportunity, because the kids don't know a whole lot about the geography and many other things up this way, and it going to be a lot of fun to be able to tell them of my personal observations all through the East. Then, too, I've made quite a few notes about the kind of work the colored people are doing up North, and the fine wages they're getting. To tell the truth, I wouldn't go back home again if it were not for the kids. I owe them something, and I guess I'm duty-bound to go back to them." he concluded, as the half-simile gave away to a momentary expression of sadness. "When you say you're going back home, what do you mean?" I asked pointedly. "Florida," he answered in a clear tone. "And it's going to be a pretty full year for the kids and me. We work hard right through to the first of May; and this year's going to be a hummer because I've got so many new things to tell them about. Though I'd have an assistant this year, but from all I hear from home, I guess I won't need one." "Assistant?" I fired at him in astonishment. "How many children have you? Isn't your wife all the assistant you need?" "Wife?" he stuttered in surprise. "I'm not married. I'm a school teacher in one of the county districts of Florida. Had 43 kids last year, but I guess there'll be fewer this year. Have some great geography to teach them this year and they'll just bubbling over with interest about the North. I'll be able to——" CHILD WHO TELLS "FIBS" MAY PROVE TO BE A GENIUS Milwaukee, November 15. When children tell fibs, it may argue well for their future, Dr. David V. Bush declared here in a lecture on the "Sub-Conscious Mind." "If your child lies, maybe he's a genius," the doctor said. rock to rest himself, for he had walked a long way. As he sat there the chimes in the old Bow Church sounded in his ears. They seemed to say, "Turn again Whittington, Lord Mayor of London." "Well, well," he said to himself, "I don't believe that could ever happen, but I will turn back anyway." He managed to get into the house without being seen, and he began to work again. No one had missed him. A few months later the merchant's ship returned, and all the servants were sent for and given the money and the goods that belonged to them. Poor Dick did not expect to receive anything for his cat, but the merchant said to him, "I have a surprise for you, Mr. Whittington." Dick had never been called Mr. Whittington before. He thought the merchant was teasing him. "Your cat was sold to the King of Barbary," said the merchant. "They have thousands of rats and mice in Barbary, and as your cat killed every one of them and saved all the people from being eaten up, the good King has sent you a shipload of gold." Dick was surprised which pleased the merchant very much, because he liked to see people surprised. And then Dick bought some beautiful clothes and a big castle with his shipload of gold. And he found that he was even richer than the merchant himself. Of course he married Alice because she had been so nice to him and had once given him a penny and had never scolded him—and there might have been other reasons too. Just then the platform door slammed, indicating the return of the travelers from the car platform, and before the first gentleman could push a bell or say a word our porter-pedagogue had caught a glimpse of his face, and as he sprang to his feet he said: "Yes, sir, number 9 is all ready, sir." And I climbed into Upper 13 with the same feeling I have when I've found a four-leaf clover or a horse-shoe. A Wise Pumpkin Thanksgiving Poem Shall I let go and roll away, or just keep growing on?" "Keep growing on," said Mother Vine, "the pumpkin who is wise. Hopes always to be big enough to make a lot of pies." The pumpkin kept on swelling until a golden ball, All sweet and ripe and firm he lay, the biggest of them all. And then with shouts of laughter gay the children claimed the prize And bore him home, much marveling upon his mammoth size. But great his disappointment grew when to the cellar deep Down in the dark they carried him and left him there to sleep. "Well." said the pumpkin, "this is queer, there must be some mistake. It's very dark and gloomy, and there are no pies to make." He bolstered his spirits enough, by thoughts of Mother Vine, And kept his coat all free from specks, his inside sweet and fine. And when Thanksgiving day drew near he had a glad surprise, He crowned the feast and made at least two dozen golden pies. —Grace Strickler Dawson. Our Thanksgiving Thanks for the little things, dear Lord— The baby's wavering smile, May's tiny shoes beneath her bed. Round arms upflung about her head (She sleeping sweet the while.) Thanks for the kindly things, dear Lord— The kitehen's westward view. Bill's patience when the meals are late. The goldenrod beside the gate. The old cat's friendly mew. Thanks for the human things, dear Lord— Bill's rough check on my arm. The funny dent in baby's nose. The backward way May's red hair grows Like her own perverse charm. The big things are Thy keeping, Lord— Life, Truth and Love and Peace, But little, kindly, human things Are like the touch of angel wings. Whose blessings never cease. —Margaret W.

The dog is made to say mamma, papa, morning, me, man, music, popcorn, peanuts and many other words beginning with "m" or "p." KIDDIE KAPERS By Bill Bailey I didnt watch my step that time. And get it in the neck. The kids all laugh at me because, Ive trouble by the peck. BILL BAILEY Now the dog does not actually say these words without a little aid from Eddie. The lad has discovered that by placing his hand over the airedale's mouth while the animal keeps up a continuous growl—which Eddie has taught him to do — the dog's guttural sounds can be so manipulated by the lad's fingers as to produce the words perfectly. Eddie is now practicing to produce various short sentences through his manipulation of the dog's mouth and growls. He has accepted an invitation to appear in an amateur vaudeville show at an early date. Eddie says he got the idea of making his dog talk from watching a trained dog act in a vaudeville theater. The "talking dog" he saw at the show only said "mamma" and "papa," but Eddie at once realized the possibilities in this direction, and while his airedale—like the snowman's dog, does not really talk, he is furnishing much amusement for his many friends and hopes that in time his pupil will become a dog that actually talks. Eddie advises other boys who own a dog to try the talking experiments. First teach the dog to growl continuously, he advises, and then try for the words, like the jazz cornetist does when he places his hand in the bell of his instrument.

THE-DIGEST By Floyd J. Calvin John Wanamaker, writing long ago, said: "Thousands of men and women rise at dawn to get the news. Nineteen persons out of twenty want news, more than editorials. "Editorials are but the chitchat of one man, who often plays a game." Colored editors have their sorest trials in getting news—live, intertwined and written. But a few years hence the Negro will outdo itself. As the race expands in business there come the problems of investment. So many trusting, hopeful, hard-working men and women need and robbed that there is a tendency to brail all enterprises as fakes and help none. In starting on any untried field there will be mistakes, but surely we can profit by our errors. To give up will not even compensate for our past efforts. Roger W. Babson, statistical expert, gives three rules for investing: 1. Study fundamental conditions. 2. Put character before collusion. 3. Have faith in your community. Now you must understand three rules. "Study fundamental conditions." You know that a new business needs money on which to get started, money on which to get undertaking—is it within the law." Then is it a practical business? Don't buy stocks in a gold coffin manufacturing concern; don't expect an oil gusher everywhere an automobile leaves refuse from its lubricator. Are the men at its head capable of running the corporation? You would not hear a heaver of helm of a newspaper; would you let a journalist try his theories on piloting a ship. Investigate and see if the officers have had any experience along the line they represent. If they have not, in your judgment, had enough, you may lose money by investing. But if all these points are favorable, if the project is endorsed by people in whom you have confidence, then give it a chance. THE BOSTON HERALD discovers The Chicago Defender. It says editorially: It would not be surprising if the ambitious weekly organ of the militant element of the Colored Race in America, known as the warrior, would become a factor in affairs, and quite likely a troublesome factor. It apparently has a large circulation and is prosperous. The latest number contains 22 pages, well stocked with advertisers; how the warriors and of other corporations, particularly mail order houses, which seek the patronage of the Colored people in the various cities, are liberal advertisers. Congratulations. But it seems this discovery is indeed late. For some reason the prestige has been commendable enough to warrant this and more appreciation. But the Herald gets serious. It takes up the motive behind the Defender's progress. Continues the editorial: But the important thing about the application is the sort of education which it gives its readers. It announces a platform of two planks: First, the opening up of all trades and trade unions to blacks as we'll as whites; second, the appointment of a member of the Face to the Face; third, the Face is always spelled with a capital "R". It wants government ownership of telephones, telegraphs, gas, electric and water power plants, street, steam and elevated roads, because it believes that in this way Colorized people can be a chance of the places from which they are deprived under private The Defender's platform is interesting, even to us. The first plank smacks of truth, of good intentions, but lacks understanding. Perforce it is superficial. "The opening up of all trades and trade unions to blacks as well as whites." The trades unions are not the unions to whites; the whites are not the unions. It would workers be good, indeed, for all Negro workers to be taken into action. Labor in a single sweep, but the good might not last. Labor. white labor, is not petted. It must fight its way. It has fought its way through the years to where it is now, hence it holds its own. Negro labor too must fight its way—intelligently. First, it must add to its record of depravity, faithfulness and skiliness to harp on the fact that blacks made the South—but not free blacks. The difference in military and involuntary service—intelligent direction and hard followin Free labor made the North. See what a contrast. Negro labor has just gotten to where it can prove its worth. Even now the whites of Dixie are yelling that our migrant workers won't stick. We shall see. If they do then employers will be favorably impressed and count them as an integral part of mass production. Once they are counted upon and depended Pittsburgh THE Courier AMERICA'S GREATEST WHEELLY upon their interests will need protecting. It will then be that whites will accept them as allies or acknowledge them, industrial enemies. But more than likely the union doors will fly open. Bread and butter will be the deciding factors and not racial sentimentality. A Negro in the cabinet. Delightful thought. But it sounds so heavier that there must be something wrong. It is the same principle as with the trade unionists. Government is not to give jobs, but to attend to the business of a collective people. A cabinet position is a pawn. The people sanction party government. It is their system. When a party goes in it contempt for the leaders of the party fill positions according to the dictates of political strategy. If any other method were used the whole system would collapse. The Negro is not only new in politics, but his position is precarious. Both parties can ignore him with impunity. His hold is sentimental. He has no great interests that need legislative except his "rights." But business is government. The Constitution is a human document but a business guide. It guarantees the principles and sets forth the rules of the game but does not work on everything. Hence the Negro can not hope for a cabinet place before his party position is stronger, which means more progress within the race, and that means everything. It wants "government ownership of telecommunications, gas, electric and water power plants, street, steam and elevated roads, because it believes that in this way colored people will have a chance of the places from which they are deprived under private ownership. Here you have the old slave psychology. Reduce the power to its essence and serve servant, instead of wanting to work for what gets and let his earning power be unlimited—wants his master to own everything and then give him whatever his heart desires. It doesn't occur to him how his master gets what he has, or whether he is much for himself in the same way. In other words, it is rank paternalism. But it all goes back to wanting something for nothing. What the Editor of The Defender really says is "The Negro started too late to be even with the white man. But we are too proud to admit that we are not equal to the white man by the trade unions to let us make the high wages without having helped fight and wring any concessions from Capital; we want the Republicans or the Democrats to give us a cabinet member because we are one-tenth of the Nation's population, regardless to whether we are politically oriented enough to Negro concession or not; we want the government to take over the railroads and other public utilities so Negroes can be engineers and division superintendents, regardless of the fact that we have no mechanical tradition—(not even mechanical enough to print the Defender lays out the been principal work of the industrial workers—but because we are American citizens and have a right to run locomotives.) This doctrine is dangerous fundamentally. What the Defender needs to teach is work from the bottom up rather than from the top down. M. R. ZANGWILL. Jewish writer, has been speaking more more.

PRAYS FORTE BEFORE P HER ST California Woman A 18, Dies Confess Lethal Dru THREE MURD PRENO, Cal., Nov. 15—Fresno County authorities are confronted with the case of a woman Bluebeard that is puzzling them, despite the fact she has made a detailed confession. Admitting that she poisoned her nephew, a one of whom died, she calmly declares that she administered the poison after taking the master up with the Lord and praying over it for more than a month. After forty days she said and forty nights of prayer she said was confirmed in her resolution and administered the lethal dose. She talks the authorities do not believe she has confessed all. In fact, they believe she is guilty of two other murders besides the one she has confessed. The woman in this strange case is Mrs. Eliza Potegrian, white, a comely brunette of rather petite build, who admits to age 19 years. Nine-year-old daughter of her second husband. The girl died this week after a lingering illness. A charge of murder in the first degree has been placed against Mrs. Potegian, but she will not be turned over to the sheriff, for lodgment in jail until the police have made further investigation of the two other charges of murder of the deceased husband. Sestrubia Potegian, mother of Marzacet and an infant son, Gabriel Potegian. Sestrubia died last June and Gabriel was drowned three years ago when he was only 18 months old. Motive For The Crime. A desire to come into complete possession of a fortune willing to her stepchildren is said to have been the motive for the crimes. For some time Mrs. Potegian had been feeding pigeons to her stepchildren and it was not until this week that she decided to give them the "finishing doses." What she had been feeding them slowly had merely broken down their vitality and made them easy pray to the final dose. Arsenic was the poison.

This ought to be a good deal of comfort to most of us. No man's life is continuous triumph. Even the path of true love never runs smoothly, and for that matter no other road is greatest all the way except the road to ruin. The one thing a man seems to be able to do with uncurried success is to go to the dogs. The trail of every successful man, every dominant nation, and every permanent institution leads upward, and many a time the youth bearing the banner of "Excelsior" stumbles on the way. The qualities of wisdom, prudence, caution and the like are essential, and it is not victory that teaches us these things. There is something in this for everybody. If you have broken your blue tea set, or broken your heart, the failure has not altogether been in vain, provided you have found amidst the wreckage and disillusion, treasures of courage, of faith, and of strength you did not know you had. The next time Defeat comes to you and makes you drink from the bitter cup, say: "This, too, is a part of my education." LOSES HAIR! GREENLEAF, N.

Find Peanuts Are Fine Bait For Fish An "old-timer" has discovered that peanuts are a first-class bait for perch. The old fisherman relates how one afternoon, he with many other persons had fished on the Government pier at Milwaukee for three hours without any of them getting a single strike, when suddenly the cat in urchin peanut vender, Fresh shredded peanuts!" echoed in his ears. He purchased a bag of peanuts and baited his hook with some of the contents. "The fish went all squirrelly, for in no time I had my fill of perch and then some." He then told how the luckless fishermen near him gathered around, trying to pry from his secret. "I told nothing," chuckled the old man, "but munched the last of the peanuts, for I, too, am fond of them." tegan became panic-streaked at seeing the children keel over on the floor and summoned a physician to save their lives. It was explained to the doctor that the children had no biscuits to eat and arsenic had been put by mistake for baking powder. He worked heroically over them for hours, administering emetics, pumping out their stomachs, but despite his efforts Margaret died. The three smaller children were saved. Neighborhood gossip found its way into an investigation was begun under the direction of District Attorney George R. Lovejoy. The story of the accidental placing of the poison in the biscuits did not seem to jibe with the story told by the neighbors of the lingering illnesses of the children. The woman was then arrested. Once in custody she broke down and made a long confession. She said she had been putting poison in. Evon Robinson doesn't know the significance of "T-11," altho a member of the "Seven Elven" Co.

It seems the children were left the estate of their father when he died in June, the widow receiving only a life interest. This did not satisfy her aka she decided to get all by removing the direct heirs. Working upon the details of the woman's confession, Detectives William F. Jones and Deputy District Attorney Gilbert H. Jertberg have drawn a network of strong circumstantial evidence about her that she is responsible for the death of her husband last June. They are confident they will yet prove conclusively that Mrs. Potelegian is a modern Borgia. PITTSBURGH WE have received a few complimentals during the past week for things intended, if not effected, and herewith respond with "thanks." Our biggest achievement hand of one Jewish gentleman—Mr. Little by name—who sought to have our boys carry his name all over the country in the form of a football team. We mentioned some few truths about the purpose of this sponsorship and he wisely withdrew in favor of Ernest Bosse, who immediately ordered his drill, diligently drugged the team, as coach. The was changed to "The Shieks," and substitutions made in order to bring the football calibre up to that of other first class teams. Two successive wins have resulted so far and Coach Bailey says that by the time that Forbes Feld is available the Homestead tries to win a surprise of either 100 or 100. Of course, Cum Posey only smiles when this mention is mentioned, but who knows that Ed. Bailey might have the last smile? White football fans are watching both teams and anxiously awaiting for the day when they face each other. They contend that Cum Posey is one of the few great football strategists and On the other hand Ed. Bailey has proven that he has not extended himself by taking the same material that made such a poor showing against Bellefonte and winning two games from teams which are considered among class A contenders in semi-pro circles. The column is checking up on every development of the year in the past year may find football classie played right here in Pittsburgh between our boys Howard and Lincoln have no better coaches or keeper rivalry. Wylie Avenue—to a man—will support this game. WITH TOM HARRISON putting up a new awning over his news and confectionery stand, and Jim 400 resigning as superintendent of Both House for Colored People, we are only waiting on the Leader House to remove those war marks from the concrete column and Burwell Burwil to secure a garage for his 5, 10 and 15 cent Life Saving Station, in order to report on our first month's work. JIM BEATTY is still harping about that $1,000 unaccounted for, but not stolen. Chances are, what he's $1,000 to a man of your earning capacity? It's all in the game. AN affidavit is being prepared covering the conduct of a goody-good professional man, who was not raised in Pittsburgh, or trained here, but who has a big office sign on Wylie Avenue, and resides in the East Wylie section. A young widow is making the statement and her profession is place. Hunting and kissing are some of the terms contained in the statement. OUR efficient police awakened from their peaceful sleep last week and arrested two honest-to-gooodness stick-up men without using their guns or black jacks. But we attribute this more to the fact that stick-up men know more about how to be arrested than to the fact that they are the police. Of course, there's an art to everything. In this instance guns and black jacks would have been in order. THE strategy board and occasion to well-health care of the town, during the past month and on two occasions received what is known in polite social circles as the "cold shoulder." This group is composed of ordinary common people with book learning of the eighth grade, as an average. Their work is to combat discrimination, analyze the political outlook and encourage cooperation among Negroes in all walks of life. It is requested that they be closed as it might weaken their chances of obtaining valuable information from sources which would otherwise be closed to them, were their names and mission to become known. Their advertising is effective whenever and wherever Negro enterprises are successful. Their policy is one of construction and development, and if followed out daily would result in Negroes controlling the business and the society in which they reside in great numbers. This "cold shoulder" encountered was given careful consideration resulting in the following resolutions. Whereas, a college training is a valuable asset and something to be desired by all persons in every line of endeavor; Whereas, there has been an increasing need for college trained people in the past five years, to engage in welfare work among members of our group; Whereas, welfare work is that work which is conductive to the health and prosperity of a race, group or number of people included in a state, city or community without specifications as to social rating or attestation; Resolved, that college graduates accepted hereafter for welfare work in the Third Ward, be required to successfully complete a course in simple etiquette, in order that they may have an unassumed regard for the rights and feelings of others and also a true understanding of human nature; Be Further Resolved, that we withdraw our support from those persons or institutions who insist upon thrusting this "cold shoulder" into our faces, simply because they have enjoyed advantages denied to NINE By John L. Clark us or of which we did not know the value at that time. "DON'T Bother Any Ladies in This Store. We Don't Like It. We and We Don't Stand For It," thus apologe and D. More drugsist and extraordinary, to a 8-cent soda patron who had been trying to weave himself into the company of three young ladies. And John didn't whisper, either. If our white menchantmen would adhere more closely to John's policy in this respect, the avenue would be more legitimate. If they too, the police and bystanders could help if they wanted to. COLLINS INN is on the market for sale. This news will bring to mind the numerous run-ins, alleged law violations and final conviction of Harry Collins, the owner. But the building, the fixtures, the trade name and recollections of the excellent service and meals furnished in its heyday means something else. Here stands a building, the result of determination and courage to take a chance. Almost everyone as it came into national awareness as one of the best courted places of one of the country. Money was made there and some of it was used wisely. If a few of our Negroes with $2000 or $30,000, Bradstreet rating had the business foresight of Harry Collins, over seven-tenths of the property in the Third and Fifth Wards would be owned by him. Unfortunately, he minimally ability was highly developed his foresight. If he profits any at all by his present misfortune, Negro business will witness a wizard in the next ten years. Harry has the stuff—COURAGE. ON Saturday, November 3, football game was played at Washington Park by the Homestead Grays, colored, and Homestead Steel Workers, white. Over two thousand people witnessed this gruelling contest, the chuckles from start to finish. The outcome of this spectaculous contest had much to do with the future booking of both teams and consequently there was no let-up in their determination of each to score winning points. It was only necessary to hold the game up once, and then not over a minute. To clear the field of spectators, the white referee, colored man, colored and white lineman and timekeepers. There were no fights, brawls, petty disputes or uncompensatory remarks by either players or spectators during the entire game. Each team had numerous rooters and cheering squads, and they worked over time. The concession team worked all of this happened without the aid of a single policeman or representative of the law on or near the field. This singular and commendable feat proves that spectators are gradually learning to know that games are regulated contests, governed by certain rules and restricctions which each team agrees to be foredeed to play and not a general supremacy, physical or mental. It might surprise some of our good people, who wouldn't walk down Wylie Avenue for a small fortune, to know that the majority of the spectators at this game, spend most of their time on this avenue. But it was "fair play" rather than sectional pride that dominated interest and interest. Which isn't surprising at all, if you only know the bunch. BILL CLEVELAND has been conspicuous by his absence from a position that he fill exceedingly well. Some of Bill's friends have made repeated inquiries as to why we did not kill the value of his business and good business judgment as well as courtly forces us to reply to these inquiries: First—It did not happen on Wylie Avenue. Second—It was not accidental, surprise, as she had made open and direct declarations which included every crippling act to be given the dictionary—six months ago, and voted favorably on them at thirty time. Third—Our traveling expenses are limited to 2 street car checks and the scene of this cause was beyond the limits of street car checks. Fourth—We doubted the reply because we had seen Bill Ament in France and he flagged everything in line, and we could believe that a little old pistol could make him forget how to faint and—run. Fifth—We don't make a practice of publishing or exposing the methods of lovers, therefore, it was none of our business. And to this, we Bentley and friendship we do intend to tell Bill that the human system will only stand just so much lead. HOW many Negroes are in business on Wylie Avenue? they depended upon your patronage, would they remain in business? Did you vote on Tuesday? Did the church vote on Tuesday? Did the man be published by an unrighteous man, who is too proud to steal? Excusing Hammond and Cotton who are the best liars you know? Is Pittsburgh big enough for great enterprises as well as great basketball ball teams? Are they merely jolting down their queries as they flit through our mind. And on second reading are about ready to agree with the lady who said: "You are just simply enough to write that stuff."

This has good effect on the central operator in the medicines. The girls old their parts well. Some two or three were a big old coccus, but that is something that can be everyone. It is probably due to the fact that the counter part of the medicines was white and they were conventions to pose in drawing envelopes and formed the complete enclosure in war more easily than some adjectives present.

Scene From "Tl THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Special Midnight Ramble for Friday Night, November 23 — Elmore Keeps Up Dizzy Pace. It always is a pleasure to see a bright, snappy new method of arranging the songs and dances, which are the concomitants of a good variety entertainment, but when these old standards of vaudeville are performed by capable artists and are presented as the creation by our own—"Smoky City" merrymakers—then the measure of satisfaction is doubly filled. This will be the case next week at the Elmore there, where the Broadway Syncopators, with their musical review of syncopation, jazz, etc., featuring Raywood Hood and Adair Allen in a one-act musical comedy. W. Raymond Hood, versatile song and charge artist, is leagues ahead of any other actor yet appearing at the little playhouse on Center avenue. He assumes a wide variety of characters. In addition to Hood's contribution of fine acting, he scores a sharing act. Many of us have never seen Raywood Hood, but to those who have not, this is the chance of your lifetime. In all of his characterizations he is rewarded with a short continual laughter and joy. Petite Miss Adair is tall and graceful by nature. Miss Allen possesses a changing personality and unlike most young actresses, is demeaned and well balanced on the stage. She is a Hill contribution to the stage and the reviewer thinks she is going into the bright lights of a thin page. This musical comedy is given in connection with the high class motion pictures which the management has endeavoured to give its patrons since their unique opening. There will be a change of program every night. A special feature is slated for Friday night, November 23, the Midnight Rumble. These affairs are first gaining prominence in the Hill district among the upper classes owing to the fact that they have been so skillfully and tactfully carried on. The management is certainly using every precaution in order to make the Elmore stand out as the leading playhouse in the uptown district. MARION, O.

Accompanied by his 10 Jazz Devils in a riot of mirth, comedy and laughter, the show is running wild in the Hill district, as is evidenced by the capacity crowds which attend each and every performance. Boykin himself is a master "stage-artist," and the manner in which he and his company get their stuff across the footlights, only goes to show the class of the production. Next week comes the show and the characters for which the Hill has long been waiting. "Butterbeans" the one and only rival of the late "Stringbeans" and Susie are doubling for the big feature. Hardtack and Louis Jackson and Jack Mayley and Alfred Drew round out a "four head-line act" attraction. Famous Southern Orchestra Will Be At Temple Casino The Temple Amusement company presents A. J. Firon's Non-Pariel's orchestra, of New Orleans, Louisiana, Friday, November 16, at the Temple Casino. Two special features apart from that of the splendid music which will be rendered by the above mentioned orchestra, will be "Keg of Nails," the colored Houdini, who will exhibit his dexterity in freeing himself from any ropes which may be tied about him, and Johnny Jones, America's greatest cake walker. All those who are experts at tying knots should bring their rope and the "Keg of Nails." If he is unable to free himself, the one who ties him will receive $25. This is also a wonderful opportunity for cake walkers to show their skill along this line. Piron's orchestra, coming to this city with a reputation of being the very cream of the south along musical and sycopated melody lines, are on their way to New York City to record for the Columbia Record company. All in all, this pre-holiday festival provided by the Temple Amusement company for their hundreds of patrons will furnish an evening's entertainment which will rank with the most unique and novel ever rendered in the city by any organization. GRAND BALL A Under the A With Rogers and Roberts, Popular Comedian Also Getting Busy On New Show, in the Meantime Preparing Other Numbers for Victor People (Special to The Pittsburgh Courier) NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Conceded by the critics of the metropolitan dailies to be the only logical successor to the late Bert Williams, it would seem that Eddie Hunter has started out to prove this assertion with a vim as the Victor Record Company has just released two song numbers which bids fair to be played not only in the homes of the masses of white people, but in the homes of thousands of colored people throughout this country. "Complainin'" (It's Human Nature to Complain) and "I Got" are the two first records along the style of the late Bert Williams released by the Victor people. When it becomes widely known that no less a person than Alex Rogers is responsible for the lyrics and Luckeyth Roberts for the music, lovers of the best along this line of entertainment will cause a rush on music stores in and out of Harlem selling these numbers. Rogers, it will be remembered, is the man who so successfully helped to bring out the native humor of the late Bert Williams in that he furnished him the only kind of matter that seemed to fit the style of the late world's leading comedian. Rogers and Roberts wrote the big successful musical comedy show called "Go-Go", and working together on matter for Hunter they have succeeded in again giving us something entirely out of the ordinary, so much so the Victor company has made up a special catalogue fea- Clifford Ross, "Follow Me" Comedian, Records For Columbia Record No doubt you have all seen Clifford Ross, that funny comedian in "Follow Me," the only man that can imitate the late Bert Williams. Well he has recorded for the Columbia Record "The Darktown Camp-Meeting," and on the reverse side "I Ain't Skeered of Work." This is the funniest record that has been recorded for some time. He is assisted in this record by the Quartette from "Dinah." Irving Miller's new show. These numbers were written by Perry Bradford, the man who wrote the last song that Bert Williams recorded before he died. World's 'Shortest' To Grow Two Feet In Chicago the medical profession is watching an interesting experiment undertaken by Doctors William Heil and Benjamin Breakstone upon "Lillian," white dwarf, who is 21 years old and only 30 inches in height. The doctors are trying to make her "like other girls of her age." When they told her they would make her grow two feet she smiled. Extracts from thyroid glands will be administered to the tiny woman, supplying to her system what it lacks to make it normal. Dr. Breakstone one day visited a shoe store and saw Lillian's brother buying child's shoes. He spoke to the doctor and said: "Guess the age of the woman who wears these." Dr. Breakstone became interested and visited "Lillian." There are 18 children in "Lillian's" family. All are fine, healthy offspring. Dr. Breakstone explained that "Lillian's" trouble is not hereditary, but an entirely independent affliction, caused by the glands not functioning. Because as a child "Lillian" did not study, she is mentally undeveloped. She plays with dolls and dogs and kittens, and nothing worries her. She entails normally and sleeps comfortably. She has undeveloped teeth from a lack of calcium in the system, a trouble which might have been avoided with early attention. At 7 she had no teeth. turing Hunter along with such others stars as Samaroff, Paul Whiteman, Henry Burr, Marie Cahill and a host of others known throughout Europe and America. Messrs. Rogers, Hunter and Roberts are at the present time working on other numbers to be released in the future, and if we are to judge from what they have already done, we can safely predict another successful record star in the person of Eddie Hunter. Hunter, who returned to New York City after the close of the "Howe Come" show, is satisfied that the American public has given a verdict in his case, proving his ability to entertain, and taking advantage of the opportunity to form an association with men capable of producing the best, he is now WANTED—A husband by a widow, light brown skinned, aged 48 years, height 5 feet 2 inches; possesses nice home and is well fixed financially.

It is believed the concussion caused the props under the floor to give way. Harris was crushed under large slabs of cement. Williams was buried by stones and wooden beams.

Little Special Rates Obtained For Big Conclave WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 15.—Assurance that the largest number of colored college men and women ever to be gathered in convention is made evident by the granting by the railroads of the county of a reduced rate to the members and friends of the Alpha Pi Alpha Fraternity, who are to attend the sixteen annual convention of this fraternity, which will be held in Columbus, Q. C. during the period, December 27th to 31st, inclusive, 1923. It happens that during this same period the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority of which Dr. Sadele T. Hossein National President, and which has some membership in chapters with a total membership of approximately five hundred, will also be holding annual convention at Columbus, Ohio, thus bringing together for the first time in Negro college life the largest number of college men and women of the race at a single event, who are in attendance at the great American Colleges and Universities. According to the announcement by National Secretary Norman L. McGhee, of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the rate reduction is based upon the certificate plan, which provides that when ticket is purchased for the going journey at the straight fare request is made for a certificate which upon validation by him at the reciting will be accepted with payment of one-half fare for the return ticket, causing the round trip to be secured at one and one-half fare. This certificate rate will apply to members and friends of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. The great growth which has been made in college fraternity organizations during the past year, which growth especially applies to the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity as there have been organized eight additional chapters during 1923, making a total of 49 chapters with a membership of nearly 3,000. will cause an even larger attendance than was true last year when over 500 members attended the fifteenth annual convention at St. Louis, Mo., held by the Alpha Phi Alpha. Among some of its important additions to Alpha Phi Alpha. Fraternity chapter roll are the chapters at Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wis.; Johnson C. S. Smith University, Charlotte, N.

In the statement, hospital at the hospital, denied that he had beaten his mother, claimed that the shooting was the result of her insane jealousy of him.

One of the most difficult questions pertaining to opening a business of any sort is to select the right location for it. To do this many questions must be taken into consideration. Among the most important questions to be considered are—the kind of goods you are going to trade in whether the people in the neighborhood use the kind and grade of goods that you are going to handle; what race or nationality of people live in the neighborhood; their purchasing ability, how close around your intended location do your prospective customers live; whether you will be able to do a cash business or must extend credit. The character of the place where you will locate, its convenience to your customers and whether it is suitable building for store for the kind of business you are going to do; the amount of capital necessary to do business at that place are all important questions. If you can satisfy yourself in regard to all of these, you are ready to open your doors for business. Don't go into business at a given place simply because some one else succeeded there, for the very thing that enabled that individual to succeed, you may be lacking in, and in Simmons.

But as a general rule where one person succeeds another can also succeed all things being equal. Unfortunately, race, color and nationality cut a big figure in business relations, regardless of one's business ability. Some people will open the same kind of business in the same block or neighborhood because someone else is succeeding there. This is often very poor judgment and often results in the failure of both parties. Before opening you should determine how there is enough room in the neighborhood to support two similar enterprises. If there is enough trade, investigate as best you can whether you will be able to draw a substantial part of the trade. The main questions to consider are, the people's ability to spend, their willingness to spend and their needs. Don't settle your business in a certain place because there is no business of the sort in that locality. It is possible that there may not be any demand for your kind of business and you may not be able to create a demand for your wares in that particular locality. If you are contemplating going into business, it would be well for you to carefully consider all of these questions before deciding on a location for your business enterprise. Va. Union Student* Challenge Charles Morris to Debate RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 15. — Charles Satché Morris, of Norfolk, Va., editor and journalist, has been challenged to debate by the Virginia Union University team on "Social Equality and Equality of Opportunity" in December, in the city auditorium.

"Not Here" Keystone Cities Lead All Others In Opportunity Pittsburgh and Philadelphia Rivals in Race Progress, Take Forefront HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 15. — Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are rivals. So are Cleveland and Detroit, New York and Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City, Columbus and Indianapolis. But Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are different. Pittsburgh, in the extreme Western end of the Keystone state, has built its great power on industrial progress; as Ajax defied the lightning, the makers of Pittsburgh defied the eternal hills and built a city, if not on seven hills, as Rome, certainly the city of the world of iron, Philadelphia, Cradle of Liberty. Home of Independence Hall and Benjamin Franklin thrives as much on past glores as on present day achievements. Philadelphians, old and young, point with pride to the historic landmarks, and tell with eloquence about their family connections. Pittsburghers, as in most big Western cities, shed no tears when the march of progress necessitates the razing of some big building that has been more or less an important feature in the community's growth. Philadelphians, filled with the sentiment of memories, seldom destroy, and when they do, there is "much weeping and gnashing of teeth." Pittsburgh is material-spiritual; Philadelphia is spiritual-material. In the midst of all of the developments in both cities, Colored America has had an important part. It was in Pittsburgh that the great steel companies opened the "Door of Opportunity" to the Colored industrial worker considerably more than a quarter of a century age; it was done on a gamble, so to speak, but it has proved to be a good one, more thousands are employed there and environs today than ever before.

The housing and school situation, together the other problems incident to unusual, and more or less unexpected additions to population, are today before both these great cities for solution as in other cities of the North. The study of conditions in these two cities is very valuable, however. They represent a view-point from two different angles, but directed to the same end. Philadelphia has slackened more on the school subject than has Pittsburgh. Pittsburghers do not wish separate schools; but on the other hand they have not had the blessing of many mixed teachers. Philadelphia has yielded to the call for division, but not without protest. In both of these great cities of the great state of Pennsylvania there has been considerable political gain in recent years, and yet neither feel that a just proportion of consideration is given to the group, and they continue to demand, and rightly, more recognition. The leaders, civic, commercial and political, as well as religious, are recognized by both races, which is a splendid tribute to their worth and efficiency. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia will continue to hold keystone positions in the Keystone state, and the entire country will continue to look to them for wisdom and inspiration.

The Henry whipping came as a second brutal atrocity, of the week from the same vicinity. The first was the alleged beating of two white boys by a masked mob of about thirty-five men. Mr. Henry is alleged to have said that about twelve or fifteen masked men came to his house at night and led him into the woods, tied a rope around his neck, strung him to a tree and attempted to hang him. According to his story he was forced to tie him so tightly that barely touched the ground and held in that position for some time. After the attempted hanging he alleges he was forced to get down on the ground and was beat unmercifully. When he was taken into the jail and stripped and examined by Jailer Jordan, Deputy Sheriff Stell and Magistrate Tilley, they reported afterwards that his underclothing were drenched with blood, both drawn from 28 distinct wholps on the back and chest. It is said they also reported that marks of the ropes were plainly visible. helps on said they of the "Where Savings Are Safe FRICK BUILDING Open Saturday Evening.

"It is true that the Southerner is more sympathetic than the Northerner. As some one has said, the South likes the North as an individual, but detests him as a race, while the South likes him as a race, but detests him as an individual. It is that Negroes find readier employment in the South, but is due to necessity and color pride, and not to altruism. As we know certain occupations are considered below the dignity white men in the South. Ray Stannard Baker tells of an instance where the chief argument used against the rabacity of mob was that it was cotton-picking time and that it was abhorning the Negroes away, leaving the job to be done by the men. This better opportunity for employment, in my opinion, is over-balanced by the greater freedom to develop native and independence, and thus be self-respecting. The modern policy helps to do this for the black man, thus making him a greater asset to the nation. In the South, on the hand, everything that can be done is done to humble him from his spirit down.

A white man may live in undisturbed concubinage with a Negro woman, but let him attempt to live with her according to civilized ideals and the law will at once send him to prison as in cultured California and Indiana, and all the southern States; a lady whose baby is being sucked by a Negro nurse, and is being waited on by a Negro porter will go into hysteries and sue for damages because another Negro is a passenger in the same car; a pugilist marries a woman in his own class and it becomes the sensation of the day, a large number of citizens, white and black, lose their heads, jim-crow and anti-marriage bills flood the Legislatures of nearly every State, becoming law in many; a proprietor will refuse me a sandwich in the business part of his lunch room lost his doing so will make me the social equal of his patrons, thus giving me the right to call upon them, unhinder, and court their daughters; a certain law will permit the most uncleanly Indian or Mexican in a car from which the clearest, most refined Negro would be barred, or even a white person declaring Negro bioload.

Why not strive for distinction in your footwear, too? Here is your opportunity—come in and look over the original DUNLAP designs—you'll find a style that fits your fancy whether your taste runs to the conservative or the extreme.

Voltaire spoke wisely when he said: "Prejudice is the reason of fools." It is possible that many of these persons are sincere, but what has education done for them? Wherein do they differ from those unprimitive Africans who shunned a white skin?" Dixon had warmed up to his subject: He had spoken more heatedly than he had intended. He took up his book again. As he opened it the senator asked with ill-concealed sarcasm: "Am I to infer that you are in favor of social equality?" "No, sir," replied Dixon with cheery decisiveness. "But," queried the other, puzzled but mollified, "how is it possible for Negroes to stay at the same hotels and live in the same apartments as the white people and not have social equality? It is impossible for the races to have the same identical rights without social equality." "Haven't white men equal rights, and yet not social equality?" "You are always going off at a tangent," said the other irritably. "You clearly understood what I meant. Are you in favor of social equality? Yes or no." "No, as I said before." "Why?" "I always want the option of choosing my own company." "What are you driving at?" "It is obvious that people will seek those whom they like and shun those they dislike that I have no other alternative than to conclude that when you speak of social equality you mean a forced association.

"What I mean is this: Do you not believe that Negroes should meet white people in a social way—call upon them—pay them social visits in their homes?" "Why!

"But from the vast mass of Negroes the Anglo-Saxon has absolutely nothing to learn and if we let down the bars to a few we'll have to let it down to the whole black flood."

This whole matter of social equality revolves on the question: Should a certain group in this nation be permitted to regulate the intimate social affairs of their neighbors, picking their acquaintances for them and so on?" He continued still more earnestly: "But here is another and yet more important phase of this question of so-called social equality—the human side. The great-hearted man refuses to imprison his soul behind bars of color, creed, or caste. In every other he sees another human being fundamentally the same as himself. Despite all barriers, he enjoys meeting kindred souls. For him dignity, grandeur and nobility exist only in simplicity, 'sincerity and sympathy. As it is in the province of even a leper convict to be exclusive there is really nothing distinguished about the exclusive man." "But the Negro doesn't want to mix with the whites. He prefers to maintain his separate institutions. He is happiest in his churches and schools By himself." (To be continued next week.) dignity and efficiency that exist in England. He discovers also that "Americans lack humor and have no shame, but on the whole they are amusing and worth the price of admission." The Ku Klux Klan he calls "an exaggerated Boy. Scout movement." He is advised, in friendly fashion, to confine himself to theorizing about that, restraining from actual experiment. Zangwill finds much fault — in fact, according to his estimate, everything is wrong—but he concludes as knockers invariably do: "If America goes wrong, the last hope of civilization goes wrong." Back home the white people are alarmed. They are beginning to believe their "good" Negroes won't come back. They print all kinds of discouraging stories about the North, about hard times, and about the goodness of the South. This excerpt from the Raleigh, N. C., News-Observer, is typical: The boosting reports of plenty of jobs and no enough labor should be taken with many grains of salt. Much of it is not true and is propaganda to secure an influx of cheap foreign labor. There are now many thousand Negroes in Chicago out of employment. They were induced to go North by rosette promises. Only childish minds expect to find "money growing on trees." cite. Sensible Negroes know better.

The thing to do is be ready. Here in the industrial region where high wages are to be had for toil, it is easier to lay aside something for a "rainy day." ```markdown ``` The Louisville, Ky., Courier-Journal takes a sensible view of the situation. It says: Though the shifting of this amount of population has had its effect, the Southern states have not been materially crippled by the loss of their workers. Instead it has resulted in a greater use of labor-saving machinery and more scientific farming. There is no denying it has forced many a problem on the farmers of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, of Georgia, the Carolinas and Louisiana, but it has sent the white man into the field and has forced the planter to play a more active part in the development of his land. It has brought to farming in the South a considerable awakening in the matter of the latest methods and the highest degree of productivity of the soil. Though some of the Northern states have found the Negroes a problem, some sections have driven them out of cities, others being put to it. to provide the necessary sanitation to prevent epidemics, they have proved good workmen. One manufacturer employing 9,000 men described them as "loyal," faithful, honest" and capable of a high grade of skilled labor. Another declared their energy was equal to that of white workmen and their skill unusual. A third, however, was dissatisfied and expressed a decided preference for white labor. If and when production in the North subsides, then the Negro will suffer. If he continues a disproportionate migration, he as well as the Southern planter will bear the brunt of the exodus. A balance must be struck. The maxim, make haste slowly; should be applied by the Negro at this juncture. This is better than wild hysteria. The Negro should be careful and be prepared for hardships, for they will surely come. The Negro race has an over-supply of knackers. In every walk of life they are to be found. The talebearers and tongue-waggers, however, have seen their best days. The rise of the Negro press means a crimp in the hat of these undesirables. The spread of intelligente and the general diffusion of knowledge on things racial also have lessened this unwonted practice from within. With Negro business enterprises attempting to establish themselves; with large community populations necessitating smoothly functioning social institutions, there is little room for the old-time professional knocker, and less toleration. Mr. William M. Kelley, editor of the New York Amsterdam News, is grappling with the situation in Harlem. He is trying to weed out the disgruntled and perpetually dissatisfied and mistrustful, so sound Negro business can have a fair show to sink or swim on its commercial merits. Says Mr. Kelley: "Why condemn all our enterprises because of the shortcomings of one? Like individuals. Can You Imagine This?

Shelton Hale Bishop has given up his work in Pittsburgh to take up a recent appointment in New York City. He will go to the largest Episcopal Church among our group. This is most complimentary to him. The Pittsburgh Courier regrets the change and offers no apology for saying that we have suffered a loss largely because we did not appreciate what we had. There are few young men in the ministry who are endeavoring with a more determined spirit that the Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop. His errors, and he is human enough to make some, were the errors Christ found on earth when He lived and moved among men. Lives there the man who works, who accomplishes, who advances, who achieves, who thinks—and never makes an error? Those of us who listened to his valedictory were impressed with the bigness of soul of the young clergyman. It is notorious in Pittsburgh that he found his way to lie up-hill most of the time. Disinterestedness, added to a studied indifference, plus the petty jealousies common to narrow souls, all made for his discouragement. But he plodded along, awaiting the day when the load should drop. It has dropped. And through it all he has been calm, and his parting was quite as calm. Not a word of rancor, not a word of retaliation, not a word of retribution. How beautifully superior one appears to one's tormentors when the larger soul possesses one and lifts one above the misner of petty meanness. Our loss never seemed quite so positive as when he said: "and Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the earth." As we stop under other hands, as we ripen in experience, as we back upon the infancy of our church life under his guidance, we shall know how great a loss we sustained when the LDS. Sutton Hale Bishop was called from ours to another service. Lower the Cost of Living SECRETARY A. W. MELLON has struck a very responsive chord by his recent announcement of his plan to reduce the present cost of living. His plan seems to mean a reduction in taxes where wealth may invest without having to be burdened by an income tax. To invest in tax-free securities to escape an income tax does not appear any too patriotic, but the fact remains that many of the wealthy Americans have sought tax-free securities to avoid having to pay large income taxes to the Government. It is the opinion of Secretary Mellon that a reduction in taxes will mean investments by the wealthy in productive enterprises, and take their money out of the non-productive fields. Whatever method the Secretary employs, if he succeeds in bringing our money and the common necessities of life nearer together, he will prove a very popular official. It is common complaint, the country over, that necessities are as high now as they were in 1920. The people demand a change at that time and got it. Unless some relief is given very soon, they may demand more changes. The people have learned to share the judgment of Secretary Mellon in matters financial. His announcement of his desire to reduce the cost of living will find favor in the public mind. As soon as he actually reduces the expenses of living, he will rise yet higher in the esteem of the populace he went to Washington to serve. By all honorable means, let the high cost be lowered. In Our National Capital WASHINGTON, D. C., is the home of the Government. All the law we have resides at Washington. The Supreme court is there, and it is to this court all of us must turn for a final interpretation of the various laws of the country. The United States Senate has its home in Washington. The President of the whole country resides in Washington. Washington is the city of all cities in our United States. If we are to judge the city by some of the things that happen there, we might well think our national capital the home of the most wicked and contracted souls God has the painful necessity of owning. Anything can rise up in Washington. The latest incident worthy of comment, and yet unworthy of our country, is the recent parade of a few whites who asked a colored citizen to give up his property and move to some other neighborhood, because they do not want to see him living so near them and their homes. There was no other reason given the colored owner, and we take it that the "notification" read to him carries the real objection. We need not waste words trying to describe how little God had to do with any people who think any part of the world was created expressly for them. God was never quite so extravagant as to set apart any section of the world for any portion of his immortal creation. To think such a thing would ascribe to God something less than omniscience and justice. But down in Washington, there live some people who can not make enough money to live in the luxury they desire, and because of their limited capacities, they are mad with any others who know how to make mother earth yield just a little more than they. Washington holds the palm for downright narrowness, littleness, and cursed arrogance. If there is any other city in the Union where arrogance reigns with the freedom it doesn Washington, we have yet to learn its name and infamy. The home of our national government is filled with vermin. Some disinfectants should be scattered immediately. SOUIRS When some one differs in opinion from what you think, it is a good sign that you do not own all the opinion in the world.

From Among The Best The week's editors have savored of politics, due, perhaps, to the fact that state and municipal elections have been held in almost every section. Again, 1921 looms as the big national election for president, and these months previous to the firing of campaign guns will find many keenly enthused about politics. There are predicaments advanced, methods submitted and rare advice offered. The Indianapolis Freeman, under title, "mussyfooters," advises us about a probable menace, in part, as follows: Have you seen the pussyfooter? No. Well he is a kind of unserrupulous political bar that lies dormant until a political campaign approaches and then becomes remarkably active. He may be seen on the streets, in barber shops, in downtown offices, about prospective political headquarters. In fact, everywhere, bartering, selling, pledging, pandering, and offering to sell what in his own words he has his own vote, but this kind of animal is dangerous in that he never stays bought. He is non-partisan, that is if he can make a deal to deliver his race over to the Democratic party, he is an ardent Democrat, if so the Republicans, then he is a dyded in the wool Republican, and the only reason he is not found working for the prohibition or socialist party is because these two parties do not offer enough to accuse him of best meetings, speaks and is prominent at the public meetings and what not, and therefore, to all appearances he is just what he claims for himself. He may live in open immorality, he may engineer any number of crooked deals. So lang as he manages to stay out of jail he is accepted without question. What then is the reaction? The white man knowing this fellow operates dives, sells his votes, and supposed influence to any man on the ground, and then seizing him received with open arms by the best among the Negro very naturally sets a low premium on the whole race. Mr. Marcus Garvey of U. N. I. A. fame continues to vent his wrath upon Mr. Dubois of the "Crisis." His latest storm is in the nature of a comparison between the editor and the late Booker T. Washington, and appears in The Negro World: To compare Booker T. Washington with Dubois is like the comparison of the weed to the giant oak. The one man was an originator and builder who, out of nothing, constructed the greatest educational and industrial institution of the race in modern times. The other, a bombust and ironclad, has found nothing else to but parade his own little intelligence, and with the vanity of the tide, try to attract the attention of the thoughtless and vulgar. "It Never Rains, But I Pours" The Star of Zion decided to "spress itself" concerning the Crisis editor, under title, "Thanksgiving With Devotions or Turkey?" However, there is soundness in the advice they offer: In the Crisis of the present month, Dr. Dubois calls attention to the several outstanding achievements for which the race should be preparing to give thanks. But his thanksgiving is not to be a devotional one, not an expression of gratitude to the Almighty who has been back of all, furnishing and directing all to the ends for worship. It is like a turkey meal rejoicing that he acknowledges us to be not of a signification that man we well learned and who seeks to lead and does to some extent, direct in the causes of race development, is it not tragic, we repeat, that such a man finds himself always in a struggle to give due difference to the Lord and Master of men and nations? It seems that everybody was not enthusiastic about the coming of Lloyd George to these United States, as the American white press would lead one to believe. The Worker, under the subject-query, "Who Is This Lloyd Gorge?" tells some things: The American newspapers have become so used to licking the spit of superior persons, and English rulers so convincingly claim superiority to all others, that it was inevitable the press should get drunk on the saliva of Lloyd George. WHAT NOT COLUMN Who was Peter Salem? In the battle of Bunker Hill, Negro soldiers distinguished themselves that their names have come down to us garlanded with the tributes of the contemporary North, until that a slave, a private in Col. Nixon's regiment of Continental, without orders fired deliberately upon Major Piccairn as he mounted the parapet and was leading—the assault of the British to what appeared certain victory. What was "The Anglo-African?" "The Anglo-African" appeared in 1859, under the management of the strongest nation in the world, families the American Negro up to that time had produced. It was edited and published by Thomas Hamilton, and had its birth in New York. It came out in 1850 and was published in 1865 well out of existence honorably, having its work well done. Its first volume, contained the abest papers ever given to the public by the American Negro, and taken as a whole this volume is conceded by many literary monument the Race has as yet erected. Who was Hezekiah Grice? Hezekiah Grice was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and he is known of his early days, but in the Spring of 1830 he conceived a plan of calling together a meeting, or convention of Colored men, the purpose of which was to improve the condition of the freemen of his Race, and aid his slave brethren. Regardless of his founding the Convention of 1830 and assisting in the establishment of the society he was not permitted to sit as a full member of the Convention of 1832, the occasion being that his credentials were faulty. "This was the most unkindest cut of all," and Mr. Grice became chagrinned at his own brethren, and migrated to Haiti where orphaned, the port was busy, business curver, in the latter years he was appointed Director of Public Works in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Next Week's Whatnots When was the first Convention of Colored people held in the U. S. A.? What Negro recumbent saved the Patriot Army in the siege of Savannah in 1779? What did Major General Blunt say of the Negro troops at the battle of Hot Springs, Ark.? Should We Be Satisfied?

WE HAPPENED to read the following editorial comment in a recent issue of The Chronicle Telegraph (Pittsburgh), anent the duty this country owes to the American Indian. The writer admits that the problem is far from solution, and adds that "reparations" ought to be made to the Indians. We quote the following: Our nation's Indian problem is still far from solution. America's debt to the original inhabitants of this country has not been discharged as it should have been. There is much talk of "reparations," these days. Justly there are reparations owing to the Indians. Contrary to popular opinion, the Indian is not a dying race. Our responsibility, instead of decreasing, is growing. The Indian's welfare remains our government's solemn trust. Only those unfamiliar with the Indian's real character regard him as an essentially inferior being. Those who have studied him in his native home know his capabilities, his industrial, moral and artistic potentialities. The need for a new and constructive governmental Indian policy was recognized by our late President and has impressed President Coolidge. A preliminary to the adoption of such a policy is the sympathetic support of the American people, based on an intelligent understanding of the situation. The necessary enlightenment of the public is being conducted by such man as Mr. Collier, who have the best interests of the Indian at heart. The first step must be the securing to the Indian of his rights, his rights to his own property, to education, to free industrial development. It will be a surprise to many persons to learn of the virtual denial of the rights under the present system. The just treatment of the nation's wards is a subject of prime importance to all good citizens. Those who attended Mr. Collier's lecture will learn how they may aid in this movement. Incidentally they will gain a new store of valuable information. It inspires wonder when we read in a white man's newspaper an admission that the Indian has "rights." "His rights to his own property" is the statement that causes more wonder. What property? Does the Chronicle Telegraph advocate giving to the Indian "his own property?" Then why not return to him the whole United States? Pussyloopiers! Gods of the Universe, when will the Negro learn that if we advance at all, we advance as a race, not as individuals. And so long as any community suffers the pussyfooter, the back door politician, to get by with such a program, he be a minister, a minister of the poor, if they want a job, and held at a discount by a civilization in which character, ability, honesty and social integrity count. Garvey vs. Dubois "It Never Rains, But It Pours" Lloyd George What makes Lloyd George a "distinguished visitor" is nother most successful engineer and star of the decade. The lie spoken SATURDAY. NOVEMBER EDITORIAL COOLIDGE OPINION By Chandler Owen Editor Messenger Magazine THE PITTSBURGH COURIER this week has covered as in a notorious Rae seller. Into its hands will tell letter to the sable Emperor of Africa, one Murray, United States Senator. The senator in all probability hand over to the COURIER. Such letters are by no means senators. Every once in a while some Negro senators scheme for colonizing Negroes in Africa, Mexico, some ern state, the moon, Mars, or Heaven. Only two two ago Professor Nevall Thomas, of Washington, happened conference with some senators and congressman, where other hat-in-hand Negro was trying to get some senators Congress supposedly to carry out a colonization scheme as. Of course, this Negro did not explain how he was get Texas, and how he was going to get all the white out and all the Negroes in. By the same token Murray is constantly floored in. By the same token Murray is constantly floored in. asked, these elementary ones (Garvey's letter is a fitting sequel to his for Kirk Kaiser a ment of a year and a half ago. Consequently from the view of VENALITY, silliness and absurdity, no one is or be surprised. Despite the recognized absurdity, however, of line go back-to-Africa fanatics—this is a fallacy which needs only to be refuted. It is a well-known rule of psychology the LIE OFTEN REPEATED GETS TO BE BELIEVED that not therefore too strongly be reiterated that the king should not go to, or back to Africa, if they could, and quite as important, the Negroes could not go to Africa. THEY WOULD. Next, Africa does not need any more Negroes if it is many already. Africa needs to have Negroes leave it, if fifty million Negroes could migrate from Africa, it would an effect upon the continent very much like the effect of Negro migration during the past few years from Dixie to North. In other words, if Negroes would leave Africa it lessen the supply of labor there. This would create a great demand for it, which would be manifested in increased aid and better social and economic conditions generally. Moreover, on the whole, when Negroes migrate in numbers, they help the place they leave and hinder the place which they come. This is true of West Indian Negroes who to the United States; of African Negroes who migrate and of Southern Negroes who come to the Northern and Western industrial centers. This is not because the types of groves who come are worse than those who are in the place which they migrate, but because they largely increase as a of labor of which there is a plethora already. Next, it take much time for the newcomers to become assimilated to large amount of prejudice grows up from their very pronounced differences. For instance, the few migrants from the South the West Indies talk too loud on street cars; wait until get off the street car, then holler back as long as they are in hearing distance: "Good bye, Brother John, give my lover sister Mary and all the children." Again, there are a few points that might as well be clearly in the heads of Negroes and white people, namely, ten million American Negroes stand head and shoulders all the Negroes in the world. The American Negroes have wealth, more education, more culture, more economic and a freedom than Africans, West Indians, or any other Negro anywhere else. Why? In Africa we have about two million white people lost among one hundred fifty million Negroes the West Indies we have about seventy-five thousand people lost among two million Negroes. In America, contrary, we have about ten million Negroes intermong one hundred million white people. The American groes, it is true, are here and there subjected to insult, possession, caste, wanton narrowing of opportunities, and many nites (most of which other Negroes are subjected well), still they have risen above it higher, more quickly more securely than the others. The explanation for this being superiority of the American Negro is to be found in greater contact with civilized white people—a contact we has enabled the American Negro to IMITATE the actions of the white man. Only a fool today can pooh-pooh imitation. Imitation is the method whereby achievement is mitted. It makes it possible for one generation to take where its predecessor left off. Imitation makes it unacceptable for a man or a generation to produce all new inventions and discoveries. The school system is based upon the principle imitation. It is founded in the principle: THAT AQUIR KNOWLEDGE IS EASIER THAN ORIGINATING IT. attempt to disparage imitation originated with masters would have happened if the slaves had imitated their master. This. The slave saw the master owning property, enjoying sure, educating his children, living in mansions, taking trips cumulating wealth. If the slave had imitated this, then slave would have been destroyed. So the master always urged slave not to imitate him. The Negro slave was to have a of his own—but it was to be a world of Negro slavery, white man was to have a world of his own—a world of mastery! The Negroes could not leave this country in any larger bers if they wished to—even if the white people would let go. The transportation facilities would be inadequate with the assistance of the Black Star Line. Moreover the people will not LET the Negroes migrate from Georgia, Ohio,ippi and Florida, to New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio labor agent in Alabama, about a year ago, was fired for $5,000 for bringing three Negroes away. Mind you, this simply bringing the Negroes from one part of the country the other (from which they might conceivably return), we know they would not permit the Negroes to go to Africa (which they could never return). To recapitulate, there is no danger that these Negroes will go to Africa; the only danger is that they will be feeled and skinned by sable schemers under the pretend they are going to carry Negroes back to Africa. The African Negroes are going to stay in this land, built by the hat their fathers, saturated with their blood and watered by tears. If Marcus Garvey wants to go, even we will rejoice when the hat is passed, to send him either back to Jamaica to Africa. The Negroes in America can well do without imperial, sable Blizzard. Of course, we recognize that it be pretty hard on the West Indians and the Africans forced to tolerate him in their midst. by the capitalist class through his persuasive mouth have more men to death than have been lured by any other nations owe their extinction or enslavement more to the deliberately engineered by Lloyd George, as representative of the class, than to any other cause. Instead of being banqueted, Lloyd George ought to be dited to India, to Ireland, to Egypt, to Soviet Russia or to AFRICA TO STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER.
