Savage Causes Sensation When He Says Nurse Begged Him to Help Her Undo Wrong
Alleged "Voodoo" Doctor, on Trial in Criminal Court, Takes Stand in Own Defense.
A sensational flare-back from the alleged murder of Miss-Elsie M. Bartell, white, 20 years old, by Lorenzo Savage, 24, colored, by "voodoo" methods is being staged in the court house this week before Judge Ambrose B. Reid in Criminal Court. Savage, calm, well poised and well dressed, is pleading "Not guilty," after having signed an alleged detailed confession of the murder on the night of October 7, a day after Miss Bartell was found dead at the Hussey mansion near the Homeopathic Hospital.
Attorney Wijllam H. Stanton is counsel for the defense. In the face of the State's seemingly well-laid case he is making a record in smashing legal barriers built up by the three opposing prosecutors. He has the respect of the Court and the other officers of the proceedings.
When Miss Bartell was murdered on the night of October 6th, the daily papers gave front page notice to the tragedy until it was developed that Savage was a suspect and the motive was regaining money which Miss Bartell had agreed, to pay him for delivering her from a pregnant state caused by one of her sweethearts. After that was discovered the whole affair was hushed.

ed up until the trial which was called Monday of this week. According to Mrs. Bartell, mother of the dead girl, she heard her daughter talking over the telephone with Savage and heard her mention fifteen-one dollar bills. She admitted that she knew of what Savage was supposed to do for her daughter. The "voodoo" charge was developed when it was learned that Miss Bartell had such faith in Savage's ability to play whist and other card games that she thought by some strange manipulation he could influence her case with them. Savage declared on the stand Tuesday afternoon that he had never professed to be able to render any such aid and even protested that he couldn't do such a thing as Miss Bartell asked. But in the face of his protestations he admitted that he agreed to give her the cards for a sum of money Miss Bartell herself named. Walter Holley, white chauffeur and taxi driver, admitted that he had been keeping company with Miss Bartell and expected to marry her in November. In that event, it seems clear that he was responsible for Miss Bartell seeking aid which brought on her death. Holley was arrested and kept in jail four days, but was released later. Holley is from Philadelphia and has traveled extensively in the United States and Canada as a butler and chauffeur for wealthy white people. Miss Bartell was a trained nurse.

Society Group Renews Fight; Sue for $5,000
Action Follows Appearance of Circulars, With Amate ... Society Folk, Advertising Them as "Spicy Show" — Tennebaum to Fight Case.
Pittsburgh's biggest society sensation, aired early in this year, and dealing with pretty girls, amateur dancers and members of the younger social set, budded here last week when Harry Tennebaum, manager of the Star center on Wylie avenue, was for $5,000 damages.
The damage and libel suit against Tennebaum was filed by the law firm of Stevenson and Johnson, representing the Misses Diorine Mam, Harry Hobson and Catherine Mam, Jimmie and Fred Page. The development of the ease, bearing all the spicy trimmings of Hollywood and filmimag, has been brimful of outraged feelings, alleged insults and profuse apologies.
Advertised as "Spicy Show"
In March, 1821, an amateur show, given under the auspices of the Urban League, had as its performers a group of the society folk of the younger set of this district.
The troupe was rehearsed and drilled in the skits and "nature" dance by a professional tutor. As a means of advertisement, a number of cuts, used in the local papers, appeared. On one group appeared Miss Gladys Phillips Childers, Mrs. Lisa Jennings, Dolores Mann, Mary Monroe, Graham Campbell, Philip Black, Abbey Pankey and Fred Page.
After-the show, for nearly two years, the thing was forgotten. Then on Friday morning, February 2, a circular was distributed over the Hill district with reading matter to the effect that the "Joseph Jones Syncopators" with a real hot chorus and special scenery at the Star theater.
Tennebaum's Apology
The circulars created a furor throughout the entire city. Manager Tennebaum was literally buried under an avalanche of indignant protests. In a statement to the press, the following apology was offered with an idea of quieting the troubled waters:
"I wish to state that any real or fancied, wrong done any person or persons in connection with the distribution of this circular, is very much regretted by me, as nothing could be gained by a wilful act of this kind on my part.
"A mistaken piece of copy used for this circular in a hurry was the cause of this mistake, and I wish again to assure any of the interested parties that the entire affair is regrettable and that I am exceedingly sorry over the incident."
(Signed) Harry Tennebaum
This apology, however, failed of its effect, and now Manager Tennebaum has announced his intention of fighting the case through the court.

Reservations Gobbled Up
The Pittsburgh Courier, seeking, to stimulate greater interest in this direction, is making a first-hand organization to ease the stress of our already heavy work on plans to this effect. A representative has held a conference with various leaders of welfare groups and find them unanimous in their willingness to be of whatever assistance they can.
As an indication of what is coming, an unknown worker remarked in a restaurant Tuesday morning: "I went up to the mill last night to get a job and the man said not only was he not taking on more men, but had cut off the whole night shift—55 men—that has been working all summer."
Mr. J. Carter Robinson, head of the Negro department of the State Employment Bureau, said of the decline in work: "Tell colors come to Pittsburgh looking for job before April 1, no matter what kind of advertisements we see in the newspapers or otherwise. The situation right now is beginning to get critical."
"Colored people in the South think that after they gather their crops and get a little cash in hand, then is the time to come North. It is not. May is the best month in the year to come North. Then there is a possibility for work all summer, but in the winter everything gets slow and there is little chance for newcomers to find something to do."
With the above facts as a starter the Courier representative called on the Urban League, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., Rev. J. C. Austin, head of the Baptist Ministerial Council; Rev. J. C. Anderson, head of the Methodist Ministerial Council; Mrs. Beauhla Ella Mason, head of the Beauhla Rescue Home, and Rev. Charles Henry Trusty, pastor of the Grace Presbyterian church.
In the absence of Mr. Samuel R. Morsell, executive secretary; Mr. George A. Perkins, business secretary, after personally indorsing the move to arouse the social consciousness of the Pittsburgh leaders, spoke of the capacity of the Y. M. C. A., and how if more young men would take advantage of the opportunities offered the environment there would (Continued on Page 16, Col. 3.)
Workers Complain So Plant Is Closed
JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 22.—A miracle was performed here this week when the Federal court ordered the closing of the Buckeye-Cotton Oill mill here, one of the largest in the state, because of its unsanitary condition. The complaint against the mill was filed by its Negro workers, led by Mrs. Mary Raglan. The mill will be idle until the conditions complained of are remedied. The management; it is learned, began the expenditure Monday of $33,000 for alterations to eliminate the smoke and dust in the plant.

Perry Howard Attempts To Give Advice
Apologizes for Ku Klux Klan — Makes Poor Counsel for Race, Is General Opinion.
The Washington Eagle of November 3rd carried on its front page two rather unusual articles, one quoting a Jewish lawyer of New York City as flaying the Ku Klux Klan, and the other quoting Perry W. Howard, "Special Assistant to the Attorney General" of the United States, apologizing for the Ku Klux Klan. That no injustice may be done Mr. Howard, the following quotation is made from his press service which has been sent to newspapers throughout the country. Mr. Howard in his address at Salisbury is quoted as having said: "After a thorough investigation as to the purposes and practices of the Ku Klux Klan I want to advise that our group leave this proposition alone; We have so many fights to wage alone, it behooves us to side-step the Klan proposition, for we have friends andoes among Klansmen." Such is Negro political leadership at this time! The man receiving the highest salary, as he boasts, of any colored office-holder, advises his (Continued on Page 7, Col. 6.)

PRETTY GIRL
LAST VICTIM
OF 'AVENGER'
"If You Barter Your Souls, You Pay With Your Lives," Alleged Statement to Victims.
RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 22. "I intend to kill every Negro woman who has anything to do with white men as well as every Negro man who acts as a go-between for the white men and Negro women."
The fearless avenger and alleged author of this statement stalks ruthlessly through Raleigh, terrorizing the entire community, slaying the ignorant and pitiful men's unrestrained, indulged, and beastly passions and makingNegro rioters who are notorious for the unacceptable practices of bribering the souls and bodies of their own women, to vicious whites, pay with their lives.
Like a wierd character of Poe, the avenger, whom an aigned eye witness describes as "tall, black and powerfully built," is relentless in his search for violators' of the great moral law of Kind for Kind, showing no leniency by worded warnings, but attacking and slaying his prey while in the "act of indiscretion."
A white man was found shot to death, several colored girls and white men injured during the past week by the mysterious murderer. The latest victim is a pretty malatto girl about 20 years old, whose body was found Thursday on Saunders avenue, in the gashouse district. The body was discovered by a man who stumbled over it in the street. The girl had been shot three times through the neck and shoulder, one of the bullets severing her jugular vein. She has not been identified.
Residents Fearful
Fully a hundred colored residents of the section came to view the body as it lay in the street, but none of them had ever seen the woman before. A vague unattached story says the woman is from Durham.
Murder Deep Mystery
As blank as the identity of the woman is the identity of the person who fired the three pistol shots that killed her. The body was lying within thirty yards of a colored house. Residents heard the shots, but said they were afraid to come out and see what the shooting was about. The body was carried to Lightner's undertaking establishment.
The police are without a clew to the murderer, but there is a feeling that this murder links up with the killing of John Rose on East Cabarus street near Duke's corner during fair week and the shooting of two other colored men a day or so before that murder. No one has been convicted of either of these attacks and the murderer, whoever he may be, is still at large.
The man that killed John Rose and wounded two men at about the same time, is said to have given warning of his shooting. According to the vague report that comes to the police station, the slayer is alleged to have stated his intention of killing every Negro woman who had anything to do with a white man as well as every Negro man who acts as a go-between for the white men and Negro women.
At the time John Rose was murdered, it was alleged that a white man was wounded in the shoulder when the black avenger. shot through the back of a car. John Rose, it is said, was standing on the running board of the car when he was shot to death. One colored woman, it was alleged, was in the car with the white men and another was about to get into the car.
The police feel that if the woman can be identified they may find some elephant which to work in detecting the murder. Last night with the woman still unidentified they had no move in view for the detection of the murderer.

Fight For Control of Veterans' Hospital Still On
High School Teacher Forced To Flee Town; Moral Degeneracy Is Charged
Prof. W. A. Wynne, Member of Faculty of Knoxville High School, Accused of Immoral Relations.
KNONVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 22. — W. A. Wynne, member of the faculty of the local Colored High School, hurriedly offered his resignation to Prof. W. E. Miller, superintendent of Knoxville city schools, on last Saturday after he had been called before a majority of the members of the board of education and confronted with charges that had been filled with that body. Wynne, who is married and lives with his wife and two children on East Church avenue, has left the city for parts unknown, and is said to have left the matter of winding up his affairs in the hands of friends here.
Serious Charges Preferred
Serious Charges Preferred
The facts outlined in the charges against the well known educator are of such a low and degrading nature that the details cannot be given to the public in print. They involve the name of a well known white man by the name of Thacker, who has an office in the Briscoe building at the corner of Market and Clinch streets, and point to the worst type of moral degeneracy known to medical science.
The affair in connection with the charges against Wynne was said to have been sang in the office of Thacker on Tuesday evening of last week and in plain view of the colored junior of the building and five well-known white business men who have offices adjoining that of Thacker. So thoroughly indignant were the men about the building that talk of violence was referred to.
Wynne, a graduate of Fisk University, was appointed to the local school faculty several years ago, having come to this city from Georgia. The discovery of his tendencies has alarmed the local colored citizenship as no other thing has ever done, especially when reference is made to the fact that the boys of the high school have been under the instruction of such a person. According to physicians, the victims of such degenerates are boys in more instances than men. Other white men have appeared before certain members of the board and told of indecent proposals and exhibition of degenerate tendencies on the part of Wynne. White men who have commented on the affair of last Tuesday night have been more cautious in their arrangement of the white man involved to them have been in referring to Wynne.
In the city made famous by Booker T. Washington, the race is today engaged in a bitter fight for control of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala. The report of the retention of white commissioned officers has caused bitter resentment in many quarters, it is said, and it is expected that the fight for an entire race representation will again be renewed.
Georgia Farmer Raises World's Largest Bean
SCOTLAND, Ga., Nov. 22. (By A. N. P.) What is declared to be the largest bean in the world has been grown here by W. S. Adams, local planter. It weighs over six pounds. It is called a New Guinea butterbean. The vine has fruit on it, and some of the beans weigh from three to six pounds. They are 36 inches long and 112 inches in circumference. One bean is sufficient for a family of six at six meals. It is very much like a squash if cooked like squash and can hardly be told from egg plant when fried.

"For two years I was a slave to rhinos and no one knows how I suffered from affen swollen joints and pains. I was so bad for months at a time that I could not work and loss of sleep wore me all out.
"After the first bottle of Neutrone Rx 60" I commenced to feel better and I was able to jointly joints and muscles my health and strength returned, and I never felt so fine in my life. It seems almost too good to be true.
"I would like to meet the man or woman that Neutrone Rx 60 will help. You can tell the world that it is nothing like it for tumours."

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—ProducingFree 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 CreeOwner 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. We also have found out, through experimentation, that the great quartz porphydykes that make vertical outrofs of

4. Possibilities of Profit
If this property is sold for $3,000,000, the price asked for, every co-owner will receive around $10 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."
5. The Co-Owner Plan
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) Co-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.

Rev. Wheeler Buried From Local Church
Hint Foul Play in Death of Pastor, Sent to Mayview in September—Wife and Children Survive.
From Bethel A. M. E. Church at Wylie avenue and Elm street was buried the Rev. James M. Wheeler last Monday evening. His death has been the cause of much speculation among his many friends and acquaintances who knew him for seven years as pastor of Trinity A. M. E. Church at Wylie avenue and Francis street. It is thought that he was unmercifully beaten to death at the City Home Hospital for the Insane at Mayview, Pa., where he was sent last September 22 because of a disoriented mind.
Rev. Wheeler was for many years well known and popular in Pittsburgh politics and other public movements and is thought to have been very much devoted to his congregation. His removal to a charge in Williamsport, Pa., in 1922 after so long a tenue of service here is given by some as the suspected cause of his first becoming unbalanced.
WEEKLY SERMON
Installment 24
Understanding plays a major part on life's stage of action. In its sphere of activity it is master. Associated in this drama in stellar roles are peace, love, faith, wisdom, and knowledge, each functioning independently. But in concert they present to mankind all things beautiful and best. Again we look on the stage of action and these players appear: unrest, avarice, mistrust, strife and covetousness; and they form a mighty cast, with millions of auditors listening on and listening to. The noise and tumult may disconcert us with their alluring enchantments, which are of material formation; yet only for a season. These actors will cease to be of service and will pass away like a ship in the night. Understanding, with her associates, is presenting helpful and happy thoughts, deeds of kindness and words of love, that mankind may be better and to the glory of God. What is the status of Modern Spiritualism as to Understanding, on life's stage of action? They are not only producers, but demonstrators. Spiritualists and Mediums through their organism, are sensitive and with these players in concert, peace, love, faith, knowledge and wisdom, all blending, are producing and demonstrating this truth, which cannot be questioned or contradicted; intercommunication between this and the world of spirit, and this is one of the greatest presentations given to the sons and daughters of earth.
It is useful for us to try to talk to the people of "Mars," when we don't understand ourselves. But when we conclude to ally ourselves to those players where Understanding holds prominent and develop soul prouession, we will not only be able to talk to those of "Mars," but see and talk to the loved ones in the "Spirit." World. May Understanding, the first actor on life's stage, be our first impulse, aided and abetted by peace, love, faith, wisdom and knowledge. Then the setting will be perfect and actions will speak loudly to the world.
Read and think for yourselves.
And we shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

In August last he was relieved of work in Williamsport. He came back to Pittsburgh and seemed to get worse. In fact, he became raving. In August he was sent up to Mayview. When his body was received for burial it was severely bruised about the head and shoulders, arms and hands. It is not known whether he bruised himself to such an extent in his cell, or whether he was clubbed with the hope of forcing him into submission. He is survived by his wife and two children, a boy and a girl. He was interred at the Allegheny cemetery, with the Rev. J. C. Anderson, pastor of Bethel, officiating. W. T. Poole, undertaker at 2161 Wylie avenue, had charge of the remains.

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our dear boy who died five years ago today, Will lard L. Waldon.
November month is here again,
To us the saddest of the year,
For five years ago today,
It took our dear boy away.
Just a memory fond and true,
Just a token of affection
And a heartache just for you.
He is gone but not forgotten,
Tears of silence often flow.
Memory keeps you ever near us,
Though you died five years ago,
Saddly missed by mother, father
and sister.
In memory of Mrs. Etta Chapman

Silently and patiently she suffered
and bore.
Until God called her home to suffer
no more."

Houston Martyrs Day,Dec.12
BOSTON, Mass. Nov. 22—Thirteen soldier martyrs of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry were ushered into eternity six years ago, December 11, 1923, with the bravest of hearts and like warriors bold. The death traps were sprung by their caucasian comrades, and without a tremor they hung suspended until announced "officially dead" by an ungrateful military authority backed up by a prejudiced democratic administration. Each life as it went forth into the great beyond was a personification of the rarest bravery; like a dress parade and on the battlefield a courage unparalleled in the annals of history of the U. S. military service. This day, December 11th, although a day of sadness, should also be set apart as a happy reminder that soldiers who loved their race and country were willing to die martyrs for a cause that was aid is now sapling the vitals of the nation where emasperating, prejudicial racial animations are destroying the fabric of our national honor. We must render unto the souls of those 13 brave martyrs the homage that a thankful race can bestow, as an honor whose martyrdom will never be forgotten.
The National Equal Rights League asks all Colored Posts, of the Grand Army, of Spanish War Veterans, of American Legion, of Veterans of Foreign Wars, of Army and Navy Union, and all other veteran and patriotic organizations to join in honor to those 13 Soldier突击ers, who were officially murdered by a prejudiced democratic administration.
The league urges all these veteran and patriotic organizations, all our churches, all our civic, literary and political societies, also branch Equal Rights Loyalties, and Citizens or Dual Rights Committees acting separately or jointly in every community to hold mass meetings in honor of those soldier martyr heroes on Tuesday, December 11, 1923. At these memorial meetings let resolves be passed urging President Calvin Coolidge to grant clemency, parlon or parade to the 50 or more comrades of these soldiers dead, now in Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kau. sending them to national headquarters of the league, 103 Court street, Boston, Mass. forewheel, that they may be taken to the White House all together by special messenger, a Colored American War Veteran.

After twenty years of successful endeavor in the insurance, real estate and investment business, Thomas T. Jackson and associates have incorporated in Pennsylvania a real estate company, known as Thomas T. Jackson Company. The offices of the new corporation are at $90 Wylie avenue. Mr. Jackson is president and treasurer, Sampson Hofflar, George Elliott, James S. Peck and Ammon G. Brown are vicepresidents and W. Robert Smalls and Ernest Rice McKinney are secretaries. John T. Clark is chairman of the board of directors.
The company is capitalized at $25,000, all common stock selling at $12.50 a share. The directors of the company have set aside 2,000 shares for sale to the public.
The officers of the company announce that the response of the public after the first announcement, that stock was available, was most gratifying. The whole issue is being rapidly sold and the officers feel that after the first of the year no shares will be on hand.
When interviewed by a Courier reporter, Thomas T. Jackson, president of Thomas T. Jackson Company, said: "The new corporation formed by my men and me has been in the making several years. With the coming of many new men to the Jackson Agency I felt that it was time to strike. The result is Thomas T. Jackson Company. We intend to handle insurance, real estate, mortgages and loans. It is the end of twenty-two years of strenuous individual endeavor and the beginning. I hope, of years of strenuous and profitable co-operative endeavor. Our stock is for sale and is backed by adequate resources, capital, honesty and ability. I feel that my own personal success is sufficient guarantee of the success of Thomas T.

NESS TRANSACTIONS
Every person, whether in business or not, should keep a record of their income and expenses. It is imperative in all business establishments that an exact account be kept of all receipts and expenses in order to be in a position to ascertain the financial condition of the business at any time. Not to be in a position to know this is unpardonable in any business enterprise. A true record of all business transactions is a barometer by which one can tell whether his business is progressing or not.

Norfolk Wins From Siki In One Of Greatest Fights In Ring

Senegalese Beaten In American Debut By Slight Margin, Shows Marvelous Stamina Under Fire
Conqueror of Georges Carpentier, One of "SuperHuman" Figures of Ring, Given Great Ovation As He Leaves Ring—Norfolk's Superior Ring Knowledge Gives Him Edge and "Colored Light Heavyweight Title."
NORFOLK ALMOST FLOORED IN FIFTEENTH
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, Nov. 20—Two undiluted black men were tonight the magnet which drew to Madison Square Garden, New York, a capacity crowd which witnessed the fiercest battle in New York since Horton Law days. Kid Norfolk is colored light heavyweight champion of the world. Siki lost his title, but made 12,600 friends, who came to scoff, but remained to cheer.
With bloody head, but unbowed, he weathered every storm of blows and came up smiling. With a gory stream pouring from a cut eye, he smiled. With a crimson cloud obscuring his white teeth, he smiled—smiled and Norfolk broke through his awkward-took it.
Round after round they mixed it, both coming in, neither giving ground. They took blows to get in blows. Now it was Siki reeling from a Norfolkian blast, and then it was the Kid rocked from hair to heels by a Senggaleese sock. Like Cheshire cats they fought and like Cheshire cats, it seemed, that both would be destroyed. But neither holisted the pallid pennant. Between the chony shoulders of neither was there beswitching smear of yellow.
Until the tenth round Siki had a shade, but then the superior skill of Norfolk in infighting began to take its toll. With his face a pulpy bruise and blinded by his own blood, the battling one could only hang on and take it. In the nightcap round a current swing coupled up with Norfolk's jaw and for a moment the American was out on his feet. Siki, however, could not follow his advantage. Norfolk hung on till the fog cleared from his brain and the final bell found them like the first, battling in the first-line trenches.
Siki can fight. He proved it tonight. He also exploded the report that he had nothing but dumb luck and a punch when he met Carpentier. Anyone who can stand Kid Norfolk on his ear for nine rounds needs some little skill. The decision did not meet with the approval of all the paying guests. There were as many hisses greeting the award as there were cheers. The Singular Senegalese earned another chance and he should have it.
At a largely attended meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. Sunday at the Frederick Douglass Community, 15 North Eleventh street, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Attorney Jesse Heslip; first vice president, Miss Ida Lee; second vice president, Mrs. Robert Baglial; secretary, Miss Ruth Castle; treasurer, Mr. L. C. H. Banks; executive board, Miss Maude B. Ford; Mr. Thomas Mattox, Miss Roger Williams, Mrs. Minnie Scott, Mrs. Maruice Moss, Mr. Frank Gardner, Mr. William A. McCoglin, Mr. A. J. Anthony, and Miss Marie Harter. Next Sunday at the usual twilight meeting of the Douglass Center an open forum will be conducted. The Style Show given at the Douglass Center last week was largely attested and pronounced the best that has yet been given. Miss Bertha Jackson was the director. Miss Bertha Jackson left last week for Jacksonville, Flan, to spend the winter. Mrs. Mattie Devann and Mrs. Rachel Bond are confined to the hospital having undergone an operation. Mine. Burton has opened a beauty parlor on Michigan and Monroe streets. The Never Give Up Club an organization of Warren A. M. E. Church, gave a very sumptuous banquet in honor of their husbands Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Kimbrough 357 Woodland avenue. The Minister's Conference entertained their wives with a banquet on Monday evening at the Friendship Baptist Church. On last Tuesday evening the Circle Leaders' Guild of Warren A. M. E. Church at their annual meeting re-elected Mr. William E. Clemmerman president and Mr. Frank Williams secretary. On Friday evening of last week a very pleasant surprise birthday party was given Mrs. Maude Tandy at her residence, 900 Coventry. She was the recipient of some useful presents.

Two splendid, almost nude, humans standing toe to toe and slugging and blocking a half score thousand and more standing and shrieking—that was the historic Garden tonight, when time and time again the embattled Senegalese, and the Norfolk exile tried to annihilate one another. Norfolk won, but the proverbial postage stamp would have covered the finish.
With three unsatisfactory prelimiaries the big crowd was clamoring for blood, when at 9:00 Kid Norfolk entered the ring, closely followed by Monsieur Siki, Announcer Humphrey's introductions brought prolonged cheers for each. Siki's boyish face and boyish grin put everyone in good humor and changed a lot of newspaper-made opinions of the forcenger. Bright green trunks worn by Siki and purple ones on Norfolk were the touches of color in the prosaic ring. A battery of cameras shot the ringmen. The field of battle was cleared and the clanging bell urged them to the fray.
With a rush they reached the center of the ring and Norfolk dodged a rapier left to fall into a clench. Siki's right found its target in Norfolk's jaw. The Kid missed an intended uppercut and the Frenchman followed suit. Both fell into a crouch and traded punches to the head. A happy rear from the multitude as it sensed that this was to be a fight.
Again a concerted rush to the battle—Siki, swinging his long arms like twin tails, missed repeatedly as Norfolk disacked and dodged sudden death. The Harlem man got in a right to the face and the two-listed invader countered to the head and body. Then, standing, each with his chin barred in the other's shoulder, they ripped blow after blow to back and knees—the first of many such duels, with wild-eyed fans almost raised the roof off the arena.
In the third Siki forced the fighting, leading with a fattle left, but raking Norfolk's back fore and aft as he dodged. The Kid abandoning a defensive position then jumped to the attack and drew first blood with a left to the mouth. The fourth found Siki still leading and missing and cleverly blocking punches with elbows and gloves, but the snap seemed to be gone from his blows. He was visibly tired. In the fifth

Loendi Swamps Elizabeth Five 70-20InOpener
Loendi Basketball team, opening their season away from home for the first time in their history, had an easy time defeating Elizabeth, Pa., at the Monongahela Armory.
Locendi ran up 70 points to 20 for the Elizabeth team. Ricks accounted for 14 field goals and the combination this year appeared better than ever. A large and enthusiastic crowd greeted the Locendi Five and were much impressed with the form shown by Edwards, the new center, and Shelton, former Y. M. C. A. star. Locendi will play Harrisburg at Lajor Temple Thursday, December 6. Included in the Harrisburg lineup will be "Scrapp." Brown, the former Homestead Gray shortstop.
Panther Athletics To Meet Sparta A. C.
The Panther A. C. will play the fast Sparta A. C. on the former's hoir November 27. The Panthers are primed for the battle and a light from beginning to end is assured. The Panthers are strengthened by the addition of Lennard, Wrencher, star forward of the former Y. M. C. A. team. With Wrencher's assistance Coach Howell should develop a noteworthy team at Scho Community House. The Panthers' probable lineup: Forward, Wrencher; forward. Turner (capt.) center, Boyce; guards, Potter and Johnson. All teams desiring games write William Howell, 12 Belinda street.

Unbeaten U Vanquishes
Fritz Pollard played with the Pottsville eleven in a coal region game last Sunday. The Brown Flash is sure a rolling stone.
Ali Nefatti, a Senegalese bicycle rider and pal of Siki, the Singular, will compete in the six-day grind at Madison Square Garden next month. He has been riding in Europe for the last seven years, is 27 years old and this year finished among the leaders in the "tour of France," one of the biggest road races in Europe.
Nefatti, we are told, is of a much different type-than Siki, but like the scraper, did his bit in the war. He is a better dresser than the former eign rider and is looked upon as a fashion plate along Parisian boulevards. He is a quiet individual and a big favorite everywhere. He is expected to be a sterling figure in the coming race.
Local Lincoln alumni, commenting on the proposed plan to have the winner of the "classic" play a post-season game in the south, are almost unanimously opposed to the idea. They feel that no good, either financial or otherwise, could come of it. To keep the team intact for so long after the regular season would be detrimental to other college sports because several of the squad participate in other athletics.
In the main bout at the National A. C. Philly, Larry Estridge, of Brooklyn, outfought Jerry Hayes, of Philadelphia, in a sensational scrap. The first round was even, with both boys feeling out the other. Larry won the second by a shade and scored a knock-down in the fourth. Jerry taking four. The next few rounds were even, but in the eighth the Kid won the show by unleashing a whirlwind attack of jolts and uppercuts.
Commissioner Charles Fred White was present and received an ovation from the audience when introduced.
A high-class ball park in Quakertown is on the market. The grounds at Broad and Bigler streets, known as Shetzell Park, has been put up for sale. The price asked is in the close vicinity of $175,000. This plant has been the home of the "South Phillies" since it was opened two years ago. During their first season they shared it with Chappie Johnson's Royal Stars.
Shetzell Park is convenient to the Lombard and South streets section and should make a wonderful location for a first-class Negro team. There have been rumors that the Hilldale club would purchase it and move in from Darby. In view of the fact that they cannot buy their present location and only have a year-to-year lease there it does not look like the worst buy in the world. But $175,000 is a roll of money. And Hilldale is Hilldale.

Panthers, With Goal-Line Still Uncrossed, to Meet St. Paul and Hampton Next.

By Chester L. Washington.
PETI 'SBURG, Va., Nov. 22—
The Union. Panther emerged victoriously from a fiercely-contested grid battle last Saturday, and majestically bellowed forth a roar of defiance, proud of her well-carned 7-0 victory over the formidable Virginia Normal & Industrial Institute's eleven, and cognizant of her great record of not having been beaten or even scored on so far this season.
Staged before one of the most colorful crowds which has been in attendance at any collegiate game this year, and serving as an auspicious event to feature the annual home-coupling day of the Petersburg Institution's Alumni, the great football classic of this section was a rare treat for the thousands of spirited fans who packed the spacious Kinley stadium for the game. Both eleven battled valiantly, their hurricane efforts being augmented, on the Normal side by the wholehearted and melodious cheering of a thousand fair co-eds, and on the visitors' side by the splendid spirit manifested by the student body of Union, who travelled en masse to the game. Among the many celebrities in attendance, a noteworthy visitor, and an ardent Union supporter, was the Honorable Judge William Harrison of Chicago.
The game was featured by plenty of spectacular plays, novel formations, daring line plunging and fleet

race to lay down to the Ku Klux Klan, while the leaders among the Jews and Catholics are fighting back teeth and toe-nail against the horrible practices of the Ku Klux Klan. The question naturally arises, how much longer are we to be curcled with such political leadership as now disgraces us? What excuse has Mr. Howard for this vile apostasy? He deserted his race in its fight for the Dyer Bill and now when the Ku Klux Klan is pressing in upon us, on all sides north and south and right here in Washington as well, he comes out and asks us to sidestep the Ku Klux Klan issue as he has made a thorough investigation into its objects, purposes and practices. What is it that Mr. Howard has discovered that is so favorable to Negroes, that has not been found by anyone else, who also has made a thorough investigation of the infamous practices of this murder-band? Surely, Mr. Howard has not read Imperial Wizard Evans' declaration stigmatizing him and all other Negroes as inferior beings!

WINTER'S
BLAST
By Willia
Second Division Clubs of the Negro
National League
The Cuban Stars played in-and-
out, ball all the year and finished at
the top of the second division.
Pitching, too, proved their undoing.
Debt being their only consistent
winner.
The Cubans had in their lineup Campos, a newcomer, who proved the most sensational outfielder of the season.
Saint Louis, the next club in the standing, had a wealth of all kind of material, which goes toward building a championship team, but for some reason couldn't get hitting on all cylinders at one and the same time. It's beyond me to say whether it was the lack of proper handling or not. Yet I believe the Mound City aggregation should have made it far more interesting for the first division clubs than they did.
Milwaukee, although finishing seventh, made things mighty interesting for all opposition. Made up entirely of youngsters and handled by the veteran "Pete" Hill, the scores of most games they played were close and interesting. Still, being young and inexperienced, they failed to have that winning punch.
Toledo, the cellar champions, did very little from the offset and was on the verge of being disbanded before the season was two months old. Quite a few individual players were on their roster, they being shunted to different clubs in the league when the club disbanded.
Success of the League
Although the league, as a whole, had many obstacles to overcome prior to and during the league race, 1923 proved the best year since the organizing of the league.
The brand of baseball played was of the advance type. Every club in the league, with the single exception of Toledo, being able to show a profit.
Many Youngsters Break In Fate, a much dreaded thing, sometimes deals kindly with individuals.

Union Faces Acid Test In 2 Big Games
Hampton and St. Paul Contests Remain on Schedule — May Have Important Bearing on C. I. A. A. Title.
By Chester L. Washing on.
(Special To the Pittsburgh Courier.)
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 22.—The supreme test for the stellar Virginia
Union University eleven is still on
the schedule, for the Strong St.
Paul gridiron aggregation will be
engaged on Hovey Field on November
23, and the Hampton Sesderer
'22 Champs will be met in a titular
struggle on Turkey Day, also on
Hovey stadium.
The games mentioned above will
decide whether Union will emerge
from the '23 season as the par-
amount eleven in the association.
Both of the eleven have been the
outstanding aggregations in all
association battles this year and
Union is making every preparation
to enter each one of these battles
with the determination to do or die.
Union is thirsty for revenge from St. Paul for the reason that the game last year is still in the minds of the Richmond schoolboys and they are planning to give St. Paul the battle of its career. The sport lovers in the vicinity of Richmond are assured a rare treat to witness this important clash.
Then, on Turkey Day, when the mighty Hampton Seasider eleven, with the flash of victory on their brow and with the hope of championship in their hearts, will trot onto the Hovey Stadium with the intention of repeating their performance of last year. The Unionites are realizing the strength of each one of their opponents and in particular the Thanksgiving Day battle will truly be the season's gridiron classic.
who made the long run for a touchdown against Howard last Thanksgiving, and it will be this same man whom the "Buffaloes" will watch—just as the "Lions" will watch Deneghy. Lincoln's line is heavier than Howard's, but whether it is any faster and stronger is another question.
C. L. A. A. Title at Stake
Because of Howard's defeat over Hampton, the game next Thursday looms as being important in more than one respect. Howard, at present, seems to have the edge in the fight for the C. L. A. A. title and if the team wins from Lincoln, her claim will be undefeated.
Lincoln, on the other hand, is still smarting under the sting of Hampton's lashing, and feel that if they can defeat the team which defeated Hampton, the stain of their only defeat will be wiped out.
A retinue of graduates will be on hand at both camps this week to lend whatever assistance possible.

With Doneghy In "Star" Role, Howard Warriors Humble Hampton, 19-6 In Great Game

HAMPTON, Van. Nov. 17.—Their defense shattered after 30 minutes of uname defensive work as has agen seen or Armstrong-Field in many mobs and lacking the drive to pat over enough scores, when opportunities presented themselves, Hampton went down to defeat before the powerful and smooth-walking children machine from Howard University in the presence of the impatient crowd that has ever witnessed a football game on Armstrong Field. Howard got his first touchdown through recovering a fumble and the helpless field running of Denevoy. The fumbles in the game were costly and accounted for the Vinegret Drops Pigskin.

Beth teams staged a punting due with Gunn of Hampton far outkicking Doneghy of Howard. Long of Howard got a Hampton ball and ran to Hampton's ground line. On the pitch Doneghy swept the tie for Howard's first touchdown. The extra point was made "by dropkick route" by Doneghy.
Hampton kicked to Howard's 45-yard line. Williams of Hampton covered the ball. The referee decided that the ball must be kicked again because it was rained that the ball had not been hit 10 yards. Hampton kicked on him and, after no consistent grits, Howard pointed to Hampton's 45-yard line. "Bulldog," Williams of Hampton smashed the line for 5 yards. Howard was penalized 10 yards on the next play for roughing. Hamgrove was substituted for Harwick. Williams reeled off 4 yards. Hampton elected to kick after the next few plays and kicked the ball on his 15-yard line and simulated for a fair catch. Hampton kicked to Hampton's 35-yard line. Jacobs was tackled outside after allowing the ball. Hampton was penalized 5 yards. A pass for Hampton to Gunn netted 4 yards. Howard was again penalized 15 yards for roughness. Williams and Hamgrove hit the line for a first down and Hampton began showing her famous fighting attack. A perfectly executed pass from Hamgrove to Jacobs reeled Hampton her knockdown. Hampton failed on the extra point.
Hawkins second touchdown came in the second half as a result of the brilliant playing of Doneghy and a lively rush by Blackmun on a touchdown. The trial for extra point called.

St. Paul Annihilates St. Augustine, 71-0
By J. L. Whitehead
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va., Nov. 17.
—In the most one-sided football game of the year, certainly the most one-sided played on Russell Field, St. Paul annihilated St. Augustine, its sister school, of Raleigh, N. C., by the score of 71 to 0, before a great crowd of enthusiastic gridiron lovers. The liking St. Paul gave the illustrious visitors today is the most disastrous defeat the Carolinians have ever met at the hands of the Virginians.

WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 22. Somebody is going to undertake to pick an All-American football team right soon. Right here, and now it is being said in these parts that it will be a hard matter not to include Gunn of Hampton, Doneghy and Peyton of Howard and Byrd of Lincoln.

PARIS, Nov. 22.—Battling Siki, Sengaalea, who is in the United States, has been stripped of all his European titles by the International Boxing Union.
This action, it was explained, was taken because of Siki's refusal to accept the challenge of Georges Carpentier.
The Union refused to recognize Carpentier's claim and declared the title open. The United States has been asked to designate the American contender for the title before July 31, 1921.

Peeping O'er The Gridiron By I. J. K. Wells
Who Will Win the Classic and the C. L. A. A. Crown?
Perhaps a million fans have asked that question. All dopesters are afraid to answer it. There are records, however, which tell something, but they don't make themselves so positive as to say who's going to win.
Howard has been the most consistent scorer and her eleven is yet to be beaten. Lincoln has piled the bigger score, but has lost to Hampton in a half-fluke 7 to 3 encounter. The "Bison" was two touchdowns the superior of Hampton on her own grounds last Saturday; whereas the Lions roared up 48 to none for Shaw, Hampton was a touchdown better than Shaw earlier in the season.
Howard has every incentive to win. The "bast in the North" will be her title if she trounces Lincoln. Mighty scals already dangle from her belt—Wilberforce, Hampton and the pride of Dixie, the Morehouse Tiger. If Lincoln wins it will exactly double the number of times the Big Blue has won from her, for her ancient adversary has won five games, she has won nine and four have resulted in ties. All told they seem to be about equally matched. Either team getting the breaks on Turkey day in the Quaker City is likely to win, but by a small margin.
Atlanta University Looms As Southern Champion Again
The Crimson Hurricane is sweeping the South like an Asian typhoon. No eleven has conquered her. She has only been held to a tie by Tuskegee. Her tilt of nothing to nothing in the Union fray has no bearing with her Southern standing. Even that fray is a better showing than has been made against a Northern eleven by any team of the far South in years. In the event the Negro youth movement succeeds in matching the champs of both sections, A U. seems to be ready for the occasion.
Football Is Not Pugilism—A WARNING
Jack! Johnson never did play on a football team. So it's no use of bringing Lil' Arthur's tactics to the gridiron. Some of our good teams mussed up a season's showing on slugging. Keep the game clean. A hint is sufficient to make us wise.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 17—Atlanta University took the Fisk University Bulldogs into camp here today by defeating them, 18-8, in a tilt in which the aerial game played a conspicuous part; and continued its march toward the championship of the Southeast. Noted for their passing ability, the Fisk Tigers brought to Atlanta the best aerial game seen this season. Captain Johnson and Lanceford starring in this division for Fisk. For Atlanta Williams exhibited a fine-plunging performance, and the title of the human batting run, at fullback, while the 30-yard run of Montgomery, who whisked a fumble, by Johnson, out of the air and run for a touchdown, and a beautiful pass from Perry to Clay for 25 yards and a touchdown, were the spectacles of the day.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 22. With more than three thousand rosters looking on, the Dunbar High School of Washington, D. C., turned back the plucky Bordentown Training School eleven here Saturday, 7 to 0, in one of the fiercest and most spectacular grid struggles ever seen here.
Outweighed 33 pounds to the man the New Jersey school fought their heavier opponents to a standstill during the first half, only to lose out when the Capital City lads opened up with a fierce offensive in the third quarter. Bryson carried the ball over for a touchdown from the one-yard line, after two attempts had failed.

THE-DIGEST
By Floyd J. Calvin
Let us examine Mr. Wells' idea of a school. He gives as his creed this:
"The school of today does little more than expand and carry on that primitive mother-teaching, the teaching of the understanding of words and signs made by others and of self-expression so as to be understood. In our schools we must learn first to use the great instrument of language that has developed out of the simple sounds and gestures of the tribe, to read, and understand what we read, to express ourselves clearly by drawing, speaking, and writing, to understand and use general mathematical and scientific ideas and processes, and to know and observe the rules and organization of the state in which we live.
Admitting that society is more complex now than, say, twenty-five years ago, and admitting that the school system should be improved; can we, in good faith, subscribe to Mr. Wells' doctrine?
The system he advocates tends to toward standardization. A worse suggestion could hardly be made. Human nature is strange. If every schoolhouse in the land were a modern brick structure with all the latest improvements and highly trained teachers, there would be those who would not want an education and would not avail themselves of the opportunity under any circumstances, and if, on the other hand, all the places of learning were ill equipped, some would rise in spite of the handicaps. The germ of knowledge is in the student, and not in the teachers nor the building. Progress can't be drilled into a generation; it must come out of it. A college graduate may commit murder while a boothbull may live into a ripe old age and never disobey the laws of his country.
A community should establish the best school it is able to maintain and wait for natural development to give it the next step forward. It is socialistic to advocate the wealth of one part going to the assistance of another part because the first part has accumulated the money. American districts have schools in accordance with their ability and that is the only sound system of procedure.
WHERE do our leaders come from? Where are they trained; are they trained especially for leadership?
According to an article reproduced in "Our Colored Missions," a Catholic publication, by the Rev. William M. Markge, S. J., the question of leadership, as viewed by a Catholic, is as follows:
"In considering the growing importance of Negro leadership one instinctively asks where do colored leaders come from, where are they molded and formed? In 1923 more than 650 Negroes received the bachelor's and master's degree from non-Catholic colleges. There were in addition more than 450 professional graduates from non-Catholic schools. Probably not more than a dozen Negroes have graduated from Catholic colleges or universities in the history of the United States. The Negro leader is almost wholly fashioned by non-Catholic influences. The result is an unmistakable evidence of infidel tendencies and of the insidious spread of a materialistic philosophy and code of ethics especially in the center and left wing of Negro leadership."
Very well. The writer seems to be alarmed about the lack of Catholic leaders among Negroes, for further along he says:
Hence the importance of a Catholic leadership among Negroes. Such a leadership can be developed only through Catholic education.
The Negro public is not so much concerned about the religion of its leaders as it is about their character and quality. What they are and what they stand for is only of prime importance.
If Catholics can send out a good man, send him ahead. We need men who are forward-looking and seeking to lead the race higher.
"The result is an unmistakable evidence of infidel tendencies and of the insidious spread of a materialistic philosophy and code of ethics especially in the center and left wing of Negro leadership."
To this statement we take exception. We warn Catholics are anybody else that we are not susceptible to too much piousness. We believe in God; but we also believe in "self help" too.
Our God is an intelligent, wideawake God, who admires push, vim and pop in the good old American sense.
Too long have we left to the Lord what we could have done for ourselves. Too long have we "prayed without ceasing", and done little else.
If "materialism" is against the Catholic faith; if getting money, houses and land is contrary to their precepts, then it is quite likely another decade will pass without the Pope having much influence with our clergy.
We do not mean to ill deep religious fervor; nor would we set up a church to go into every Sunday and give it no further thought.

during the week. We believe in religion holding a cardinal and basic place in our racial life, but we are unwilling to allow it to dominate to the exclusion of intelligence and common sense as it has in the past. Religion to us is a kind of guide on which we rely when all else is uncertain. It is our rock, our foundation but not our whole structure. Let Catholics do all they can in our behalf, but do it co-operating and not to the exclusion of something or somebody else.
THE SUPREME COURT has decided as unconstitutional Federal laws which were designed to stop child labor. Militant organizations are again in the field to pass a child labor amendment. Does it injure children to work? Harold Cary, writing in Collier's answers:
"Child labor sends boys and girls to reform schools and jails, denies them education and makes them into weaklings as they grow to adulthood."
Many valuable embrizo men and women have been relegated to the scrap-heap of human wreckage because of shortsighted parents who demanded that they "earn their keep." It is only from the super-strung who can come from under such a load and finally fill a high place in the world.
Children should grow up with a chance to play and go to school. If they do not make use of the opportunities, that is no excuse to deny them.
The child mind should be carefully cultivated. It is upon the children of today that the nation or race of tomorrow depends.
So often our grayhead elders say to us that they never had a chance; that if they had our opportunities what great men and women they would have made.
It is hard for poor parents to sacrifice their children from contributing "their bit" when their work seems unavailably necessary. But a law in favor of the children would remove the thoughts of the loss and in a few years, the fruits would more than justify the act.
Consider this statement:
"The minimum age for the entrance of children into industry should be not younger than sixteen years. Since it is recognized that the physiological and psychological readjustments of pubescence determine a period of general instability which makes great and special demands upon the vitality of the child, it is of paramount importance that he should be protected during this period from the physical and nervous strain which entrance into industry inevitably entails."
Remember, next time you vote, support men who favor less work for children.

FOR several months there has been much agitation on the Virgin Islands. The United States bought them, presumably for strategic purposes, and left them to be governed by marines.
The chief occupation of the people was growing sugar cane, manufacturing rum, and coaling ships that trafficked in liquor.
With the coming of prohibition a vital factor in the economic life of the people was curtailed. The natives, however, did not ask so much that prohibition be nullified as they pleaded with Americans that, since they cut off their chief means of a livelihood, please substitute some other.
The Liberator, of St. Thomas, has been clamoring for the repeal of the Volstead Act.
Now that Congress is about to convene the citizens are planning to send a delegation to Washington to press their claims in December. The delegation is to be held in Seattle. No Cruz gives the proposed delegation a bit of advice.
"Going to visit Washington is one thing, but going to Washington to meet Congressmen to talk political, economic and industrial matters with them is quite another and different thing. Congressmen are more mortals, it is true; but they are mortals who think in terms of dollars and cents; in other words they want figures, that's what they are accustomed to deal in. Then the delegation should consist of persons who are acquainted with American policies and Washington ways; they must know the avenues of approach for a successful issue. One improper remark at the wrong time: one little act of indiscretion—perhaps done unintentionally and with no thought of doing harm may upset the whole purpose of the mission.
"Then it must not be forgotten that they have the newspaper clippings from the local press telling of the wonderful progress and the tremendous strides forward which we have made under the Navy. . . . great caution should be observed by the delegates."
This calls like a diplomatic writing. If the delegates are free from the worry that they may be impolished. (Continued on Page 13, Col. 1.)

Did you in love again!
But was in love again?
He had treated Ophelia Brandon shamefully. The "bunch" was all talking about how flatly he had thrown aside New York's most charming widow, Ophelia's wonderful clothes and lovely form had seemed to take Bell, "of his feet," and even the doubling Thomases believed it would be a match. But Bell had other things in mind, for he very unconcernedly ceased his attention to dear Ophelia and escorted Sarah to the fashionable Drakes ball. Of course, Bell didn't offer any explanation; he was too self assured for that. He just deliberately forced the "bunch" to accept her; the bunch, as usual, fussed and fumed about it, but Sarah remained. "Well, Bell, I拿 a good sport, you know," said Earl Downey; and he dances dincelyly, added pretty Mrs. Owen Ford. All of which was reason for allowing Carlos Bell to do as he pleased.
And Sarah, she didn't have much to say. In fact, she didn't need to say anything. Sarah was much too pretty, much too bewitching in an exotic way, that one rarely thought of spelling the picture by asking it to speak. Sarah was olive-skinned, with dark brown hair that curved about her forehead like a silken diorama. She was small of feature, with thin curves and dimples. Yes, one believed. Sarah's knes were simple, although the shortest of silk robes and a few incarnations of her gown always kept them from view. But somehow you just believed they were there . . . and you let it go at that. She spoke slowly as if she chose her wombs with great care, and her rare smile shaped too rows of gleaming, pearly teeth.
From the beginning the following didn't blame Bell. She and class and pop, and that. No one was quite care where she came from, and no one seemed to care. "Miss Morrows," she was introduced, and when the bunch hooded Bell call her Sarah, they followed suit.
Bell was devoted to her and she to him.
"I adore you," he would whisper in her shell like ear and catch her to him and reign kisses on her hair, her lip, the slim curve of her neck, and Sarah would cling to him with the madness of youth, running her fingers through his hair, and quivering with the thrill of life form against her.
Bell talked of love, the opera, and the like, while Sarah talked of marriage—the soft warmth of a little brown baby against her breast — a home!
Then the crash came. Bell turned up with a new love. Yvonne was her name, tall, slim and sleek with a passionate desire for smoking. "The Bunch" had its say, as usual, but to no avail.
And Sarah—
Someone the memory of her sweet enege filled Bell's heart. He referred to her often. This smile was his gay, his manner more conservative. The follows grew impatient. "What's the matter, old man?" required Earl Dewey. They had taken away from the crowd at one of those movie-rocking dances, where the music is very "jazz" and the "punch" too adulterated. Bell insisted, but through Dewey's gentle persuasion told his story.

Girl's Mental Bo Thru Longing for
Girl's Mental Balance Dethroned Thru Longing for Phantom Mother
Ruth Rickett, 19, pretty and cultured, is a prisoner in the psychopathic ward at the Cook County Hospital in Chicago, weeping for a phantom mother. This phantom is the wretch her imagination has made of her real mother—the woman who gave her life and left her in an orphans' home more than eighteen years ago.
For fifteen years, Ruth developed and was happy in the care of Mrs. Albert Rickett, who reclaimed her from the orphans' home. She thought Mrs. Rickett her mother and loved her as a daughter would. Then, one day, came a chance remark from a chance, visitor, that shattered her happiness and her reason, too. It was this:
"Has Ruth ever learned she isn't your child?"
Ever since that time, according to Mrs. Ricketts and Mrs. L. L. Punk, her legal guardian, the girl has been distraught with visions of her real mother and oblessed with a desire, to locate her. Treatment in private sanitariums, under the most expert of aliens, failed. A few days ago she eluded the sur-
lining w hat she meant to me. I loved her. God, how I loved that Kid. I can feel the weight of her body in my arms, her hot kisses against my cheek, her little drawing voice calling to me: "Carlos, love me sweetheart. There is no one else there never will be another." "We got on together for several weeks. I practically lived at her Seventh avenue apartment. When I missed ringing her up or calling she freted and pouted like a child. I grew restless and began treating her coolly. And one night she told me that the early spring would bring her a baby, hers and mine."
"I laughed, I scorned, I accused. She bore it all like a little martyr, her lips quivering."
"Oh. Carlos, how could you. After all these months, the nearness, the intimacy—she shuddered and buried her face in her hands."
When she grew calm her words came quickly, burning into my very soul.
"Carlos, you're not even decent," she said. "Your love is changing, fickle, foolish. You take rare delight in fooling women; gaining their confidence and betraying them. I could have you for this. I need you, this, my condition, is your fault.
"I haven't seen her since," continued Bell. "I can't help wondering where she can be. This is spring, you know, and——"
Someone was calling for Bell. It was a telegram. He seized it and tore it open nervously. "It's a boy," it read.
Bell murmured into the room.

Mass Off Pacific Coast Due to Japanese Quake, Is Belief

The mass was encountered off the California coast and the ship was well into the harbor, according to Captain Hunter, before the last of the jellyfish were passed. One explanation is that the fish were forced to migrate by the Japanese earthquakes.

Companionship
Saves Marriage,
Woman Declares
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. — Companionship, not love, is the salvation of marriage and the prevention of divorce, in the opinion of Mrs. Thomas Winter, president of the National Federation of Women's Clubs.
"The only happy marriages are the 50-50 contracts, and there are more of them being made today than ever before," she said. "The only practical reason a man has for looking toward marriage is companionship. Women who have an idea that they are selling their bodies in marriage are wrong—because there is no price that is satisfactory after the deal is closed.
"I believe that the men of today are better than ever before. We are really living in an age of chivalry."
PITTSBURGH
SOME of these days, our officers are going to learn that two hands are necessary, to arrest two men. Last week one of "our kind of officers" had two men in custody "accused of theft." We understand that all was peaceful until our officer-judge broke the silence by trying, convicting and sentencing one of the prisoners before reaching the patrol box. This provoked a discussion that developed into an argument, which Mr. Officer tried to settle by slamming Mr. Prisoner over the head with the butt of his revolver. Apparently, both prisoners had decided to submit to arrest—whether guilty or not—but when Mr. Officer persisted in slamming with his revolver, Mr. Prisoner took the course of least resistance—with the result that Mr. Officer was suddenly confronted with the fact that he had arrested two overcoats, but only one occupant. And still they wonder why they are not promoted!
A SUCCESSFUL conference has just ended at Bethel Church. We have an idea that the favorable comments on the beauty of the interior and cleanliness of the exterior caused the pastor and membership to stick out their chests more than once. And if one is to spend their entire existence within a certain sphere, interested in and mingling only with those of one denomination or social rating, we admit that they should feel very proud—and then some.
But since churches are intended to lead and direct—administer to the ignorant, encourage development and co-operation in the community, city, state or nation—we cannot but condemn whoever is responsible for this work being let to a white contractor. It is true that John Stulen is one of the first interior decorators to employ Negro skill in this line. And we understand that today Negroes are retained for his most particular jobs. A number of the men who were formerly employed by Stulen and other decorators of the same rating, are now in business for themselves, here in Pittsburgh. That they are successful is evidenced by the fact that they are busy all year round and are accumulating money. Their prices are no higher or lower than the white settler and their work carries the same beauty and permanence—commanding the same admiration as that of Caucasian mechanics and artisans. These facts are attested to by some of the leading Pittsburgh families and business men.
And even if such were not the case, where should the blame be placed? If they were not artisans or business men with mechanical facilities to handle a job of this size, what other institution could accept the blame? What institution, if not artisans, could provide the opportunity, since the abolition of slavery, to point the way, to encourage mastery in arts and sciences?
The church would strike a more popular and harmonious chord if it would relegate some of their doctrinal ideas, B. C. philosophy and many other idealistic theories in favor of a program of research, analysis and application concerning the element which creates the necessity of a church and which, also, contributes most to its upkeep—the common Negro. Every Negro who masters or nearly masters any given art or trade should be employed by Negroes as often as possible and especially by the bigger and higher institutions. No discrimination is made regarding masterful attainments when the church wants to send some wanderer to Africa, burn a mortgage or make it possible for one of the auxiliaries to put on a spread for the pastor. No, the operation is different—the church RECEIVES money from any Negro. But when they spend money for art work—the white man is selected simply because the church does not know of any competent Negro who measures up to their false standards.
Mr. Washington, Mr. Wilson or Mr. Moss could have handled that job like clock-work if they had been given the same monetary stipulations as Mr. Stulen, but our good brethren were too wrapped up in their own false ideals and piety to consult either of these men. It's all well and good that we devote some time to the salvation of our souls, but our preachers must adjust their practices to the fact that "present" comes before "future" and that this physical enceasement must be pleased and nourished in order that the future will be welcomed. Negro skill must be used. Talent developed and mastery encouraged.

It has, probably, never occurred to many of our readers that a Negro has a news stand at the corner of Wylie and Fifth avenues. Yes, it's Carl Southall, the young man of many endeavors. Aside from the news stand, his most promising connection is with the Boy Scout movement. We understand that for some time the boys have been without a regular meeting place, but they are desirous of lining up with the Y. M. C. A. This will be a good and profitable activity for Mr. Morsell as well as the boys, and we expect to see it go through. Keep at it, Carl.

AFTER an investigation lasting about two weeks, we herewith inform the many friends of Pittsburgh's best-liked tailor—Sandy Strange—that the rumor which traveled with so much speed, concerning the window jumping act, is a flection on the defensive and protective knowledge and actions of the gentleman in question.
It is true that "Scan'ous Shine", put on his shooting-up act at the same place and time that Sandy was inspecting one of his methodical investments, but Sandy's mind was quicker than the trigger. When Mr. Shine announced that his act was about to open, Sandy began to negotiate for that portion of space commonly called "under the table." The deal went through on the "first come first served" basis. This specific space is many steps or strides from the nearest window, and since this "shooting-up" was performed in the day light—between the table and the window—by a gentleman who made no discrimination in his targets, it is reasonable to presume that our Brother Strange remained at the point of physical excursion during the day. In view of these conditions and others which are equally favorable, we recommend that Mr. Strange be associated with the dangerous and spectacular act of jumping from second story window, but that he be given due credit for the safe and conservative one of first in position—under the table—at the crack of the pistol. And so shall it be. Attention: Mr. Lane.

YES, the clubs are closed. The closing act is just as we expected. There are some people who object to their opening under any conditions, and if this was a privilege granted to Negroes only, we would undoubtedly concur in their opinion. Whether or not club life is a necessity, we are not prepared to say, but we do know that our white brethren don't seem to be able to get along without it. Neither is it confined to the American white man. All nationalities have their clubs and organizations for pass time, where their favorite parlor games are played and played for money. The difference between their clubs and our clubs is the difference between law and riot. They have rules and regulations that members and guests must respect. Our clubs have gaming equipment and operators—nothing else. We, hold no brief against club owners for the very fact that they operate clubs, but must condemn them for their negligence in regulating same.
We are informed that all Negro clubs are closed now, because one operator- permitted a dangerous character to enter the rooms with a revolver in his possession. Someone was shot, probably fatally. Had he been more careful about his hobbies, he would not do a doorman, this would not have happened. Every good fellow is not a good doorman.
Then, too, the price 'that we pay for clubs is exhortant. A man must almost carry a whole ward durging election time in order to be privileged to conduct one of these places—FOR HOW LONG? Until Rev. Marsh or Zahnizer says they must be closed. That same energy and influence applied to some Negro candidate would serve to create more permanent opportunities for those same men and abolish this proposition which benefits only the big politicians. But even if the club owners couldn't or wouldn't put any faith in this way of reasoning, they would eliminate most of the community objectors if they would merely conduct clean and orderly places.
A WEEK, tiny piece of human existence, rightfully known as Jimmie Edmunds, basketball player and cashier of the Temple Amusement Company, informs us that the policy of the column is all wrong and that the first time we mention his name in any unfavorable connection, to the courts we go. That's his opinion—spokep. We'll write ours. As a citizen and a Negro we respect him. As a basket; ball player, we admire him. As a cashier, we seek his friendship and liberality.

Records Show That Nashville School Will Be 2,000th Dedicated Since 1912.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—An announcement from Nashville, Tenn., that Julius Rosenwald, wealthy mail order house official, would attend the dedication of the South's 2,000th Rosenwald school has brought to light an extensive program for the betterment of Negro education in this country. The scope of the plan for improvement of Negro schools has extended now to fourteen states of the South, Francis W. Shepardson, educational secretary of the Julius Rosenwald fund, points out.
A conference held in 1912 between the late Booker T. Washington and Mr. Rosenwald, during which the educator deplored conditions in the South, where he felt members of his race were being denied educational opportunities, resulted in the proposal of the Chicago business man to extend help, Mr. Shepardson says. "An offer was said to have been made by which Mr. Rosenwald would contribute to the erection of a school house in every community which would pledge itself to raise, either from Negroes, friendly whites or from public funds, an amount equal to or greater than that given by Mr. Rosenwald.
After eleven years, 2,013 schoolhouses have been built or are in the course of construction, costing a total of $7,485,486. Of this amount the Negroes gave $1,858,758; whites $498,424; public funds, $3,809,408, and the Julius Rosenwald fund, $1,430,156. An appropriation for the year ended June 30, 1924, of $500,000 has been made by the fund for construction.

Howard School Professor To Study Health
Howard School Professor To Study Health
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 22.—In co-operation with the U. S. Public Health Service, Dr. A. B. Jackson, director of the School of Public Health, is making an epidemiological study of respiratory diseases among the students of Howard University. It is customary to regard the Negro as most susceptible to this class of diseases. In making up vital statistics whole groups are taken and studied, and no difference made as to the various degrees of intelligence, manner of living, and physical care. This method is correct, but in most instances because of the large percentage of ignorance with its consequent indifference among Negroes, our whole race suffers by comparison with the whites.
The study being made at Howard University by Dr. Jackson should prove most interesting inasmuch as he is dealing with a relatively select group, whose method of living and knowledge of health are about on par with that of a similar group of whites. A questionnaire has been filled by every student of the University, dealing with the past and present history of each regarding his having had any of the respiratory diseases, influenza, asthma, common colds, penumonia, tuberculosis, tonsilitis, etc. Every two weeks a check is made to determine the development of any such affections during the interim.

above statements. The situation, as disclosed to the careful observer, is one in which the doctrine of bigryt and hate has assumed almost unbelievable proportions. Yet, broad as this assertion is, it does not mean that the Klan actually controls a majority of the voters of these states, but it does mean that the Klan machine, in perfect working order, controls the election machinery, that it has placed its own men in high positions, that in instance after instance it has controlled the judiciary and the administration of justice, that a majority of the legislatures are Klansmen or men who are listed as "not unfriendly" to the organization. The klan has made inroads on both of the two old parties, and its tools and allies consist of both Republicans and Democrats in these states.

some time ago, and in settlement the Myrtle street house was given to Mrs. Brown.
The suits grew out of allegations that the home is unfit for human habitation. Repeated suits beginning in the justice courts, ending in the superior court last week, have gained Mrs. Brown nothing; all have been lost. The court held that according to the former agreement, Captain Brown was not liable for the present condition of the home.

Southern White Journal Comes To Our Defense
Southern White Journal Comes To Our Defense
Atlanta Constitution Tells of Negro's Economic Progress During Past Year.
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 22.—(By A. N. P.)—The Atlanta Constitution, one of the most influential white dallies of the South, and one of the fairest in its attitude toward the Negro citizens of the South, is active in the campaign to get Negroes to stay South and to effect the return of migrants. The Constitution has always been an aggressive enemy of most of the evil conditions complained of as practiced by white southerners.
This newspaper recently carried an article based upon a letter written by Professor Kelly Miller, of Howard University, describing conditions existing among Negroes who had been imported to Johnstown, Pa., the town from which the mayor of the city ordered all the Negro inhabitants. Mr. Miller declared that in his travels of a long lifetime he had never seen any place in the United States to compare with the destination, wickedness, dirt, and lack of culture of the Negro district of Johnstown. He placed the blame upon the importers of Negro laborers and others who sought to gain from the employment in the district of these workers. He named work, gambling, and immorality as the only features of the life of these former southern farm hands.
The Constitution comes to the bat

for the former sons of the South. Its fight does not end there, however, for it has also a word to say about those agencies and newspapers, North and South, which are always closing their eyes to the better side of Negro life. The editor of the Constitution, writes: "The tendency of the times is to accentuate his weaknesses, and to hold up for public appraisement those things that degrade him in popular esteem rather than his accomplishments — far greater and more compelling — that mark him as a force for thrift and betterment, if properly trained and directed. "In Georgia this year the thrifty Negro on the farm, who has learned the lesson of emancipation from the old slavery of the single crop, has advanced more in material betterments than in any one year in a decade.
"Statistics will show that is a factor in the economic progress of Georgia, the Negro's ration is increasing year by year; instead of diminishing as the world is made to believe by the stories that emphasize the bad and hide the-good.
"The Negro is a factor in the material advancement of Georgia; and while among them are criminal and thriftless classes, as among every race of people, there are also among them leaders in finance, in industry, in commerce, in education, in the professions."
Woman Bleeds to Death
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 22.-By A. N. P.)—Dina Bray, 56, was killed when a street car here struck her. Her right foot was cut almost completely off. Death came from a loss of blood. The white motorman of the car placed the blame on the driver of a truck whose vehicle hid the woman from the trolley man.

Hardtack and Louise Jackson, a team playing here before, is a scream. To watch Hardtack's dancing and comedy is certainly an amusement within itself.
Jackie Mayhey, a woman in blackface, set the house wild with her comedy. Last, but not least, the Famous Butterbeens and Susie, just as they did a year ago, set the audience wild.
Butterbeens' eccentric dancing can not be imitated and is the only late Stringbeans, successor.

Buffalo
Right Worshipful Grand Master David W. Parker is the city paying his official visits to the Prince Hall Masonic lodges. On Saturday night he visited St. Johns No. 16. He made a statement on the progress of Masonry in this state and told of one lodge he had visited that had been only set up in August in October. He had, in his presence, on candidates in such a splendid manner that he had his hesitation in saying that the officers had head and shoulders way above any lodge in the jurisdiction. He also stated that New York now has 17 lodges of Prince Hall Masons. After an inspection of the books, which were found to be in A-1 condition, the lodge was called from labor to refreshments, and all enjoyed a pleasant evening. The grand master also visited the Bisign Consistency No. 29 at a special meeting on Sunday and gave a very interesting talk. On Wednesday night he will pay his officials visit to Tyre No. 43. At an informal meeting of Elite Lodge No. 119, I. B. P. O. E. of, w held last Sunday on the premises, and after a thorough inspection thereof, they decided to accept the proposition of Brother Henry Davis as to the using of his house for an Elks Rest, and a temporary organization was formed with that purpose in mind. The matter will be laid before the lodge at its next regular meeting, and as a majority of the members seem to be highly enthusiastic over the proposition, it is very likely it will go over the top."
Crispus Attacks Court had their first hall on Tuesday, last, which was well attended. It is understood their membership is now nearing 200 due to the indefatugable efforts of O. C.

The coming of the international conference of Knights Templars, Order of the Mystic Shrine, Imperial council and Appendant order in Pittsburgh, 1924, and the building of the Masonic temple, mean nothing more and nothing less than fraterns of the district yielding our forces for a cause long needed in the city of Pittsburgh.
The Past Eminent Commanders council is another force largely organized and working for the benefit of the Masonic temple. Our slogan is "A Temple in Pittsburgh, a Temple We Must Have, and a Temple We Will Have." We have purchased one of the best locations in Pittsburgh. It is easy renched from all parts of the city. Step right off car No. 82 which stops right in front of the site purchased by the Temple association. The Colored Y. M. C. A. building is on one side, and the Holy Cross church on the other. Now, come, fraters, rally to your duty, and say the temple must go up, and we, as fraters, will see that it does go up.

Nevert, Hot Springs for treatment. If there is a man in Pennsylvania that over deserved aid, it is he, for he has been a bulwark of strength to both the subordinate as well as the Uniform Rank. Each sir knight will be asked to give $1 to this worthy cause. Sister Edna Steward is treasurer of the committee.

Mayor-Elect Kendrick Contributes To North Philly Community Center
Money talks—it has been said. If this be true then Philadelphia has a mayor who is interested in the welfare of the Negroes. A check amounting to $150 was received through the field department of the North Philadelphia Community Campaign. It has appeared before in our columns that a community center will be built in the near future at Twelfth and Melon streets for all of North Philadelphia. The fact that the mayor contributes is most encouraging to those who have

Job Back
Dr. Tomkins' Plea Wins Job Back For Policeman
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 22. Thomas E. Russell, a former patrolman, who served more than a year in prison on a charge of homicide, was restored to duty on the police force after the Rev. Floyd W. Tomkins and Anthony J. D. Greuel Biddle, both white, appeared before the Police Trial Board in his behalf. Russel shot and killed a man who is said to have attacked him while he was making an arrest at Passyunk avenue and Rocal street. February 9, 1922. He was sentenced to from seven to ten years in prison by Judge Friedrich. Governor Phelon parked Russell last September, whereupon he at once began a fight to be restrained to the police force, a struggle which finally became successful.
Mr. Bibles, a society member, called at the hearing that the man was a student of one of his Bible classes and a special character. But the climax of the hearing came when Dr. Tomkins, who is officer of the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church made an impassible plan for the former patrolman.
Dr. Tomkins declared that a review of the case had convinced him that the man had been unjustly convicted by the jury, and that such a fate was a detriment to police in their efforts to combat banditry in the city.
"I reviewed this case thoroughly," said Dr. Tomkins. "From what I read I couldn't understand what prompted the jury to bring in a verdict of guilt, when Russel had evidently told the man he killed while he was in performance of his duty.
"Under the circumstances I think an injustice has been done. I think it is the best step for the police to take."

raigned on a charge of murder for performing their duty if a fatality occurs.
"This man should be restored and given an opportunity to take his place in society again.
"He thought that his life was in danger when he fired the fatal shot, and at the time he was engaged in protecting the interests of the public. Governor Pinchot pardoned him and we should give him a chance."
Major Biddle, who testified that Russel had been one of the finest students in his Bible class at Third Reed streets, was the first wrist to take the stand, and Dr. Tomlinson was the last. After Dr. Tomlinson had concluded, Commissioners Woodall, Neeld and Van Dusen conferred for a moment and then pronounced the reinstatement of Russell.
The man killed by Russell was in Israel. The policeman was arresting several people in an alleged disorderly house when Israel attacked him. To save himself he directed a shot at the man's arm, but Israel swerved and the bullet penetrated his heart, killing him instantly.

There is no central organization, there is no way for all of the people to know of all of the organizations in a vital manner and there is no way for leaders in the two hundred and sixteen religious and secular organizations working for racial uplift and advancement to come in group relation and such personal touch as would promote community of thought, conscious solidarity and co-ordination of faction.

Bootlegger Nabbed By Alert Detective
When Abraham Fineman, Parkside avenue, near Fifty-second street, was arraigned before Magistrate Coward, charged with illegal manufacture of liquor, vice squad detectives described a handsome dwelling, located in the heart of an exclusive residential neighborhood, fitted out with appliances that even the most elaborate pre-Volsted distillery could not have boasted. Fineman was held in $500 bail. Detective Faulk, who procured the evidence by posing as a laborer in search of a job, testified he found a tunnel connecting Fineman's basement with his garage. He said the moonshine was distilled on the third floor of the Fineman home, taken to the basement and then transferred through the tunnel to the garage, from where it was shipped to consumers or distributors in motorcars.
"It was one of the best schemes to hookwink the prohibition authorities and the 'cops' I have ever seen," said Faulk. "Nobody knows how long the tunnel has been in operation. Moreover, the ventilating devices in the Fineman house were so perfect that a person could not smell the liquor even if he stood on the very front steps of the house."
After the hearing Faulk told how he procured the evidence that led up to the raid by Lieutenant Lee and his vice squad men. Three 50-gallon sinks and large quantities of alligator moonshine and mash were seized.
"For some time I suspected that something was going on at Fineman's place," said Faulk. "I decided to watch. One day about two weeks ago a man came out and asked me what I was doing. I said I had just come here from Georgia and was looking for a job. He gave me work.
"The work turned out to be carrying of apricots, raisins and other materials used in the distilling process. Loid chores for the man until the time was ripe for the raid. When we took possession of the house we found several children. We have reason to believe Fineman has been the source of supply for many of the better class of drinkers living in West Philadelphia."
"Dinah" Proves Charming Bit
A graceful, tuneful, dancing show is "Dinna." It's all of that and something more. It is an expression of a race's art through the medium of flashing limbs and harmonious voices. It is a hit, a palpable hit. The artistry is the work of Irwin Miller and Tim Brymm. In "Dinah" they reach the peak. The former stars of the "Liza" are seen again in all their glory. The celebrated Creole Beauties sing and dance with undimmed lustre. Whole audiences are invited to for the dance motif of the show. Leontourne Brymm has produced another of his great orchestras.

M. and 7:45 P. M. Sunday school at 9:30 A. M. At 1 P. M. last Sunday the Rev. C. A. Leftwick, pastor of St. Lakes A. M. E. Zion church, delivered an excellent discourse to the congregation. He was accompanied the choir from Zion. The members and friends of Bethel A. M. E. church are all very well pleased to have Rev. J. D. White returned to them. The St. Luke A. M. E. church had Harvest Home Coming last week for the benefit of the Red, White and Blue captains. The results will be made known Sunday, the 25th, the final Rally Day. The pastor, Rev. Leftwick, and Mrs. Dillard, the choir leader, are getting the choir organized again and that is increasing the attendance at the services. The Sunday school hour has been changed from 12:30 P. M. to 9:30 A. M.
The bodies of the Y. W. G. A. had a meeting last Thursday to consider some way to increase interest in the work. A committee was appointed to investigate and Mrs. Julia Webber and Mrs. Blanche Dillard were down in the southern part of the city and a large number of strangers that do not know how to find the way to obtain the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. and some of them promised to come to the "Y" meetings and get acquainted. The friends and acquaintances of Mrs. Mary Allougn mother, Mrs. Jackson, of W. F. Wall street, regret that she does not improve. She suffered a paralysis two weeks ago, and has not been able to talk since. Mrs. Daniel Dillard is hospitalized and is improving very much. Mrs. George McDaniels, 302 Mahoning avenue, died last Thursday. Funeral services were held at the Union Baptist church Saturday at 3 o'clock. The body was shipped to her home in Charlottesville, Va. Her husband accompanied the body. The death of Mrs. Ethel Rhone, a stranger here without friends, was indeed sad. She was buried in Graceland cemetery.
The business of the National Benefit Insurance company is improving nicely. The agent here, I. F. Hayes, was in Youngstown, O. last week to a special meeting. Bart

This is my country, my forefathers helped to make it and I am not going to be satisfied until I enjoy every citizen.
Dixon hesitated, but as the Senator was looking expectantly at him, he continued: "As I was going to say, do not infer from my remarks that Negroes, generally, are hankering after social intermingling, either active or passive, with whites. Few Negroes will attend such functions at which they would be welcome. For instance, Negroes are generally welcome at radical balls, yet few even when personally invited and given complimentary tickets will attend. At thegreat Socialist ball in New York City this year there were only seven Negroes present, although there are thousands of Negro Socialists in that city. One of the leaders said to me: 'Where are all the colored people? I thought they would be out on a night like this.' The same was true of the Liberator ball. Negroes, as I said, are the original standpatters. All that they ask is open competition in the labor market.
"Negroes have their own societies. I know many Negro families possessing all the charm and refinement of the best white families. Indeed, my protest is that most refined Negroes have all the hard respectability of white 'society' and are white in everything but color. I also know individuals possessing as high ideals as we can be found in any white person I have met. But the average white knows as much of this home like among Negroes as he knows of the fourth dimension. Most of them most only uncleanted Negro porters and laborers, while others associate with the lower class of colored women and form their division of all from that type. This link of knowledge
is evident in the writings of all but a few of those who write sympathetically on the color-situations. There are also those who share their eyes and ears resolutely to these things. Such are like those very de-

vout persons who, although believing themselves firm in their own faith, steadfastly refuse to look into a doctrine in any way different from their own. But, ignore truth as we will, it creeps on like a mighty glacier, cold to claims of color, creed or clan, grinding to dust the mountains of falsehood. In whatever field the Negro has entered with the white man—in the university, in the professions, in the shop, or on the farm—he has held his own in spite of the handicaps of color. If this is not a superiority of the highest order the whole world needs to revise its idea of that word.
"The great majority of the Negroes of my acquaintance wish to preserve their social and racial identity. They do not ask social intermingling. All they want is to be able to live like the normal citizen of any country."
"That's what I say, too," added the newcomer heartily. "I stand for fair play to all. My experience is that if you treat a man right he will act right. If you treat him badly you will make him bad. The conduct of others toward us is usually a reflection of our own attitude toward them. I—"
"But social intermingling," protested the Senator excitedly, "will lead to intermarriage. The Anglo-Saxon will never stand for the mongrelizing of his race. Better a thousand times that the whole race should be wiped out of existence first. The marriage of the black to the white woman is atrocious — to the Holy Spirit." Turning to the newcomer as by way of enlisting his sympathy, he added: "Our women must be protected if we have to kill off every other race. Whatever may be said of the white race no one can ever accuse it of failing to protect its women."
Dixon wondered whether the speaker had heard of the atrocities reported of the Germans in Belgium; of child labor and of the low age of consent in the Southern States.
"That's where we agree," said the other passenger, quickly. "While I stand for fair play to the black man I strongly oppose intermarriage. The Negro is a far less developed race, it took the white man thousands of years to reach his present height, and until the Negro reaches that height the white man has everything to lose and nothing to gain by amalgamation. I reckon on the degree of breadth. Another great objection to the marriage of a black man to a white man that is except; in rare instances he cannot provide for her as a white man could, and she must suffer. Yet, at the same time should you be unjust to a man simply because you wouldn't accept him as a son-in-law."
Dixon had been expecting this phase of the color situation sooner or later and had prepared to meet it. He began: "There is a tendency among persons, otherwise calm to get excited in discussing this phase of the color situation. The question is there and no amount of loud talking or agitation will alter the fact. It has been with us three hundred years and probably has a long time to stay yet. Why not look at it calmly then, particularly as no one is being forced to mourn against his

or her will in the meantime? Getting excited never helps." In calm, judicial tones, he continued: "Now, gentlemen, I find that this question of marriage between white and black resolves itself into seven principal points, as follows: One against, four for the question taking care of itself, and two in favor of the proposition. I have honestly sought other adverse points as I rather wish to get at the truth than to prove a theory. I have failed to find any more, however. The point against inter-marriage is that such unions are contrary to law in 29 states, and, well—let us add—opposed in all others by public opinion." "Public opinion!" exclaimed the new-comer, eagerly, "there you have said it! The voice of the people is the voice of God." "Very true, sir," said Dixon softly, "the voice of the people is the voice of God, but you will agree only when it is instructed, when like the voice of God it expresses truth."
The passenger did not respond. Dixon continued: "Now let us examine the others. First, like the—"
He was interrupted by the entrance of another, passenger, the traveling companion of the one that had entered a few minutes before. The two had been riding in the observation car. The new-comer had stopped to talk with a brakeman, and No.1 had preceded him. Dixon got up and offered him the chair, but he, too, refused it. After leaning against the dental lavatory for a few seconds he sat down on the couch between the Senator and Passenger No.1.
These two looked at Dixon, expecting him to continue. As he did not, No.1 asked him what were his arguments in favor of intermarriage, at the same time explaining the circumstances to Passenger No.2. Upon the latter's allowing his interest in the matter, Dixon continued:

The following letter from Miss Christianson tells a story of long time suffering and relief found finally in a bottle of Pe-ru-na. She writes: "Pe-ru-na is a good medicine. I suffered a long time with very sore throat, tongue and extreme huarseness. My wrists and ankles would pain and pains through the body, which were frequently to bed, making my tonsils did not help. My condition continued to grow worse until I decided to try Pe-ru-na. It began doing its good work at once. The soreness of my throat and tongue has gone and I have had no more of my old attacks.

Company, Youngstown, Ohio, stand out as representatives of the most intelligent study by such corporations of the Negro, his ability and ambitions.
"That Boston had two representatives, Los Angeles one, and that the brilliant and only woman executive secretary in the Urban League list hailed from Tampa, Florida, are interesting bits of testimony as to the spread of our branches."
As the years go by all the racial organizations and agencies are coming into greater usefulness.
But the Urban League holds a unique place, a place in which it renders distinct aid that is not forthcoming elsewhere.
As Eugene Kinkle Jones, its executive secretary, once said, when attacked for being affiliated with radicals, conservatives and liberals all under the same cover: "I'm not so much concerned about who is on the board; what I want to do is get these Negroes jobs."
Coming from the South without previous knowledge of industrial work, methods and procedure, what the migrant laborer needs is somebody to give him a job. He is often anxious to work, and in many cases there is plenty of work, but some are so benighted as not to know the elementary steps toward their new opportunities.

But there is more in the game than placing a man before a machine and saying: "Run it." There is more work entailed than showing the new employee the pay window and telling him when to present himself for the envelope.
The race is now making industrial and social history and the records must be kept. If you want to know what has happened in the world of Negro labor in the last few years, just ask the Department Records and Research of the National Urban League.
If you want to know exactly what kind of labor the Negro is doing in the North; if you would know what kind of a house he is living in; what rent he pays; what diseases menace his health; what his death rate is—just ask the Urban League.
The best positions in the most useful capacity for highly and technically trained young Negroes have been provided by the Urban League.

Rids Self Of Blinding Headaches
George W. Elliott, P. R. R. Employee, Tells How He Regained Appetite and Health.
"Stomach trouble bothered me terribly and my appetite was very poor. I could only eat very night foods and often this kind of food caused me distress. I also suffered from severe attacks of blinding headaches and my nervous system was so weak that I could not sleep at night. Todd's Tonic was highly recommended to me and I tried it. Now I can eat three big meals a day and a lunch before retiring at night. I have no distress now and as for headaches I do not know what the word means. My nervous trouble was entirely gone, when I retire at night I sleep until the alarm clock wakes me in the morning. I recommend Todd's Tonic because of the marvelous results I obtained from its use. It did much for me and I think it will do the same for others."
Todd's Tonic is sold at all good drug stores in Pittsburgh. If you live out of town, write H. I. Neaman, successor to Homewood Pharmaceutical Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., and pay the postman $1.00 when he brings Todd's Tonic to you.

the making (up); chastity and fidelity are only far-fetched ideals when immediate environment so strongly militates against them.
But it all is a matter of time. Being up against these problems makes us thoughtful and careful, and after we are more securely entrenched in our new life and are financially able to spread out we will know just what to do.
We will know what our children need for their proper home and moral development; and we will know how badly they need it and not lose time in making necessary changes.
YOU have known factories where every employee hated his work—where constant sullen bitterness and strife were the order of the day—where Jim told Bill, 'don't work down at X's place unless you are starving.' A BLACK mark was the symbol of such a place.
"And you have known other factories and businesses where the employees were contented, where everything ran smoothly, where strikes were unknown, where it was a pleasure to work. A WHITE mark for such a place."
What's wrong with this picture? Nothing. It is nearly an excerpt from a book of the Magnetian Life Insurance Co. It has nothing to do with the race question whatever. Negroes are not mentioned.
But something IS wrong. For Negroes the psychology is bad. A white mark for good and a black mark for evil. These are legitimate designations. The quotation shows the mind of the writer, and incidentally the mind of the white race. Being white themselves, they have formed the habit of glorifying white and letting black represent the opposite.

many ambitious students are studying on them now.
So it augurs much good to hear Mr. Wood say big industrial corporations are sending men to their conferences to get a first-hand knowledge of their work and co-operate with them in placing skilled and unskilled workers.
That means in a few years Negroes will be industrial managers: foremen, heads of departments, master mechanics and master machinists—all at fabulous salaries. When more money begins coming from sound, productive channels, it will mean greater progress from within.
The Urban League is entitled to much credit for its far reaching constructive work.
CHANGING from a rural people to city dwellers is not without its difficulties and problems. And to be crowded only makes bad matters worse.
Acustomed to room, the outdoors, freedom. It is hard to suddenly become cramped and repressed. This largely accounts for boisterousness on streets, roughness and undignity in apartments and private families.
Then there is crime. Of a native childish quick temper, and with little or no thought for consequences, rash acts weekly aggregate appalling totals.
Out in the rural districts where there is a house only every half mile or so, it was easy to live at peace with your neighbor because you didn't see him often.
But here, where there are four and five families in one apartment, each maintaining a separate existence, yet ever and anon coming in contact, there can hardly be less than clashes. Individuals must be well trained, indeed, to avoid them.
The intimacies of life are hard to observe, too. How can a man shield his family or wife when of necessity she must go to and from the bath room before every other member of the house? And what else is a man to expect when, after so long a time, something happens?
Society leaders are not much thought of when they are seen in

people, black people, for the expression was in use long before Negroes and whites came into contact on this continent.
Later, when the slave arrived it was still a good term. And so on down to the Enamulation Proclamation. Years afterward—now when the once wretched and despised are capable representatives of human progress, the designation is at last false.
It might still be used technically, but the broad interpretation has been nullified.
Doubtless if Negroes had to create and develop their own social order such terms would be reversed.

The stellar social event of the season flashed like a meteor across the startled vision of Uniontown Thursday, November 15th, in the form of a full dress reception by the Sterling Choral Club in Henderson's Hall. A special list of invited guests graced the occasion and participated in this the most notable social event of the season. The music for the occasion was furnished by Henderson's famous orchestra, which greatly heightened the enjoyment of all present. Messrs. Park and Craige. leading caterers of the city, exemplified the acme of perfection in the delicious dainties and confections which they supplied for the occasion. Fully seventy guests, correctly attired, enjoyed this suptuous event. Among the out-of-town guests present were: Miss Laura Conner, Mrs. Anna Jennings and Mr. and Mrs. Joel Conner, of Scottdale; Mr. and Mrs. Geo Blue, of Morgantown, W. Va.; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Goins, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. C. H. Humes and Attorney Wilber Douglass, of Pittsburgh; Mr. Mayno Burd, of Connellville.
On the receiving line were members of the club, namely: Mestias Florence Clayborne, N. J. McClure, Medora Beasley, Elmer Reed, Dora Jackson, Redman, Misses Conetta Henderson, Idella Pead, Messrs Wm. Stockton, Dawitt Rose, C. H. Harding, Frank Jackson, A. L. Boddie. Mrs. A. L. Boddie is musical directress and Mr. Robert Austin, president.

Rucher, preached a wonderful sermon on "Child Raising". Taking his text in Exodus 2:9, "Take this child and nurse it for me and I will give thee thy wages." The eyes and minds of parents, both young and old, were enlightened. At 6:30 the B. Y. P. U. had an inspiring service and a large audience was present. Our president being absent at the quarterly district meeting, Miss Florence Winbush conducted the meeting. At 7:30 the pastor delivered another soul-stirring sermon on the "Honor of Christian Service". Services were elevated by several selections rendered by Brother J. K. Moore, from Ebenezer, Pittsburgh. We hope that Brother Moore will join us again in singing praises to our Saviour. Many visitors were present with us.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER FRANK&SEDER FIFTH AVENUE, SMITHFIELD AND DIAMOND STREETS.
At Phenomenal
This store is one of the largest purchasers of Women's Coats in the United States. And this maker is one with whom we have been dealing for years—and from whom we have purchased thousands upon thousands of garments. He had 750 high-grade Coats that he wanted to dispose of—he was satisfied to take a loss in order to SWEEP HIS STOCKS BARE—and it was natural that he should offer them first to this great store. You will know what a sensational purchase it really must have been when YOU SEE THE COATS.
The materials are soft and lustrous, such as the finer coats are made of Ormadale, Truvenette, Lustrosa, Fashona, Kerami and other fine fabrics. And there is excellent variety of colors.
Just the coats women want for sport or general utility wear. Beautiful materials — tailored as finely as Hart Schaffner & Marx clothing for men.

able early for the usual political "gold" we put in their appearance, if we take a news item which appeared under the date of November 19. The one to believe that the Negroes only of the North, are opposed to Particle cities as the reason for the Negroement of Mr. Slemp, and the Tuskegee Courier has no patience with to make it a practice to "create oppose excuse to take money to "kill off the is an old trick, and its practice is with students of national politics.

If the President of the United States franchise of the people, then will ask him to assert his definite and fixistic as well as foreign questions.
Negroes of the North are not organized any one else. Their first concern is head and butter. They are not even elections, having not yet qualified as infux is still moving here and there, before the bulk of the infux finds to say nothing of being able to register diggers ought to credit party leader judgment and intelligence. The we, to say the least.
IT IS a little early for the usual political "gold diggers," but they have put in their appearance, if we are to believe any portion of a news item which appeared in the New York World under the date of November 19. The article tries to lead some one to believe that the Negroes of the country, but especially of the North, are opposed to President Coolidge. The article cites as the reason for the Negro opposition the appointment of Mr. Slep, and the Tuskegee Hospital mess.
The Pittsburgh Courier has no patience with Negro gold diggers who make it a practice to "create opposition," just to have the excuse to take money to "kill off the party opponents." This is an old trick, and its practice is well known to the older students of national politics.
If Negroes in the North or in the South have any reason to oppose Mr. Coolidge next year, there will be ample notice given. Certainly, the Slep appointment gave Negroes some concern because they thought their way to the President was purposely blocked by the appointment, but it just so happens that more Negroes are seeing Mr. Coolidge under Mr. Slep than saw Mr. Harding under the affable Mr. Christian, from Ohio. What is the complaint against Mr. Slep, if Ke has made it easy for us to see our Chief Magistrate?
We brand the World article as nothing but the scheme of a few gold diggers who are looking for money. They think the statement sufficient to excite party leaders to the point of distributing a few thousand for the defense of President Coolidge. The President needs no defense fund. All men of any sense know the President is trying to complete the term of office which was given to his predecessor. If Mr. Coolidge ever becomes the President of the United States at the expense of the franchise of the people, then will be quite time enough to ask him to assert his definite and fixed policy toward domestic as well as foreign questions.
And Negroes of the North are not organizing against Coolidge or any one else. Their first concern is not political rot, but bread and butter. They are not even eligible to vote in many sections, having not yet qualified as to residence. The great influx is still moving here and there, and it will be after 1924 before the bulk of the influx finds any definite residence—to say nothing of being able to register and vote.
Our gold diggers ought to credit party leaders with at least juvenile judgment and intelligence. The whole scheme looks crude, to say the least.
of a man is right, he is more powerless. Right is a power within itself; it requires assistance. The recent statement in this plan to reduce the taxation burden on high cost of living in the country, of a man who is right—right and most national response to the Mellon plan and enthusiastic, but it was strictly positive demonstration of a non-party country came responses of approval, men, women, Republicans, Independents, declared the Mellon plan the most our burden, and our highest question is so vital, so close to the people, few, if any, thought of the people, given out by Mr. Mellon. Presidid that he is for the Mellon plan, African lad can propose to the American chance that after matrimony this country is opportunity to build and maintain, after all, if we have no American joined by American fathers and mother country. The people want is a chance to live, Our present system is prohibitive. He discouraged by the very nature of who desires a home and a family, the woman he loves to ask her to starvation, deprivation, sacrifice and loves with an honorable devotion to proposal which means literal slavery. America must get closer to norms plan bids fair to bring this condition all, the man with common sense, with the problems before him, seldom must often gives to the people the solution, civic and political ills. All America try the Mellon plan.
WHEN a man is right, he is more powerful than he knows. Right is a power within itself; it seldom needs any assistance. The recent statement by Secretary Mellon of his plan to reduce the taxation burden, and then reduce the high cost of living in the country, was just the statement of a man who is right—right and nothing more nor less.
The almost national response to the Mellon plan was not only ready and enthusiastic, but it was strictly American. It was a most positive demonstration of a non-partisan response this country has ever seen on a national question. From every part of the country came responses of approval. Democrats, southerners, men, women, Republicans, Independents—all, with one acclaim, declared the Mellon plan the most certain way out of our national burden, and our high cost of living.
The question is so vital, so close to the hearts of the American people, few, if any, thought of the political value of the plan as given out by Mr. Mellon. President Coolidge need only add that he is for the Mellon plan, because under it the American lad can propose to the American maid with some assurance that after matrimony this country will afford him a man's opportunity to build and maintain an American home. And, after all, if we have no American homes, built and maintained by American fathers and mothers, we shall soon have no country.
What the people want is a chance to live, and enjoy life the while. Our present system is prohibitive. Honorable matrimony is discouraged by the very nature of things. The young man who desires a home and a family has too much regard for the woman he loves to ask her to enter upon a period of starvation, deprivation, sacrifice and poverty. The woman who loves with an honorable devotion is too proud to accept a proposal which means literal slavery for the man of her choice. America must get closer to normal living and the Mellon plan bids fair to bring this condition to pass. After all, the man with common sense, with ability to apply it to the problems before him, seldom misses his mark; but very often gives to the people the solution needed for their social, civic and political ills. All America seems very willing to try the Mellon plan.

It was a source of relief to learn that Uncle Sam is to be relieved of his high cost of living. With his many other brain-macking problems to add to his misery, he presents a most distressed appearance. His foreign relations are very much out of harmony just now, while his domestic questions are growing more and more vexatious. It seems a pity that his millions of sons and daughters never think how much they could contribute to a more satisfied and a more contented Uncle, if just a few of the unnecessary plagues they inflict were abandoned for the benefit of the Old Man.
It is reported by reliable sources that Perry Howard recently tried to assure Negroes that he, Perry Howard, had investigated the Ku Klux Klan as to "purposes and practices" and "after a thorough investigation as to the purposes and practices of the Ku Klux Klan, I here want to advise that our group leave this proposition alone." He gives as his personal reason that "we have friends and foes among the Klansmen." He is so amusing, our Perry. He ought to be incorporated and dramatized.
But lest some one go after his teachings, we advise a better course. If Perry has friends among the Klansmen, and we do not doubt that Mr. Pat Harrison is a member of the Invisible Empire, let him cling to them—but alone, always alone. If he has enemies in the order, we pray they get him some dark night and show him how incapable he or any other single Negro is of making a thorough investigation of the purposes and practices of the K. K. K. After the embarrassment he inflicted upon his group by his letter of a year ago, Perry ought to be satisfied to retire to Mississippi whence he came at the instance of his friend, Pat Harrison.

He has a list of restaurant owners who are friendly to him and when he sees a man in want he usually takes him to where he has been before, or he has free. In this way he has been able to relieve hundreds in previous unemployment crises and is depending on the same method for the approaching slump this winter.
Mr. Clark explained that hundreds of men are coming into Pittsburgh from the surrounding cities and small towns now in search of inside work for the cold weather. And many of the construction firms are laying off, too. Some, he said, come in with money, but either game it away or get it done. Some are around helpless waiting for the first kindly person that comes along to give them something.
In this case the first thing he does is get in touch with employers to whom he has supplied men before and see if they can take on one or two who are destitute. Usually he succeeds and they are sent where they have access to bunkhouses and meals in connection with their work. A week ago Mr. Clark called, a conference of workers at the Y. M. C.

The Rescue Home of Mrs. Beulah Mason, at 211 Erin street, is of 13 years' standing. She has been the Matron herself for eight years. During its existence she estimates about 1200 women and children have been cared for until they were able to do for themselves, or women who left behind. The matron and her worked and supported them.
She operates a day nursery in connection in which she cares for babies of working women.
Her method in the rescue home is to take any case where there is real need. For instance, a man may get out of work and can't find anything. He gets behind in his rent. The landlord puts him out. His, wife and children have nowhere to go. Mrs. Mason welcomes them and helps them get out. They help themselves again. She said sometimes they work and pay her back, and again they slip off and she gets nothing for her kindness.
Cases come in from the Travelers' Aid, where women and children come from the South to meet their husbands here working, and when they get married the husband is not to be barefooted, the children are barefooted, they may be out of money. In such instances she and her husband get shoes for the children and cares for them until the woman can find something to do. Unmarried mothers often come to her. She cares for them in their own work and care for the child until the mother either gives it away or takes it to care for herself. In one case a woman was released from the Western Penitentiary on parole, after serving eight years.
Plants Now Grown By Electric Light
NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 12.—University scientists announce that with artificial light they can put flowers and vegetables to sleep and awaken them at will, and that they can grow from the dominance of the sun. Hereafter there need be no flower farnes on national holidays, such as the reported $2,000,000 shortage in the lily crop last Easter day, the report of a hothouse vegetables because of continuous sunless days. The experimenters announced their findings at the conclusion of months of tests in electrically heated university and at Baldwin, Long Island. There, they assert, they have been able, by using electric lights developing an intensity one-fourth that of the sun's rays, to make flowers bloom at a preternatural time in flowers in from two to three weeks' less time than normally transpires between planting and ripening.
Letter To The Editor
Thomasville, N. C., Nov. 17, 1923. Dear Editor:
I notice an advertisement in today's paper from a Georgia Negro bearing on the reason of immigration from Georgia and the southern states.
I have noticed a great many things from time to time to exodus of the Negro from the South. Now, I am in a southern state at the present and was born and reared in Edgefield, S. C. I lived in Georgia for fifteen years, taught school, preached and did mechanical work all over both states.
First, I will briefly discuss the lynch law of Georgia. I have known from it that race is tied to a post with sixty four gas and several cords of light wood to be stored around them and there cremated, their charred bones pushed up and the newspaper men stand around to write up the affair assault on white woman, and at the same time the Negro in the cotton and wished some of the proceeds, and that is the way he got it.
Aaron Byrdsong, of Watkinsville, the county site, with two other good men, were treated likewise in 1921, to my own knowledge, as well as another who was a staff member. Jackson, carried just over the county line and roasted like an opposum, and the paper said he squirmed like a worm, while thousands stood by with about five hundred automobiles and witnessed the fact, and the remaining Negroes were not allowed to whimper about it.
Now, seduction in Burke county,
Lincoln, Columbia, McDuffie, Wilks
and a number of others too numerious
to mention, shows a colored man
is very often ordered out of his own
house by white men after dark and
told that we intend to use your wife
and pals tonight, and too many other
things through Richmond and other
countries we were in. Now the people
in White house in Washington D. C. get a hold of this, I can and would swear to this in the highest court in the United
States of America.

She came to Mrs. Mason, who got
her a job and helped her get straight. The woman is now married and doing well in Qaio.
Miss Alivia M. Stoner, secretary of the colored women's department of the State Womens' Employment agency, with offices at: No. 435 Fourth Avenue, spoke of colored women in employment. She said, among other applicants, there in many cases the women do not give satisfaction. The principal work is domestic. The factories and janitorial work is on the decline.
Speaking for his congregation in No. 75 Arthur street, Rev. Challah Trusty, who is celebrating the 100th anniversary of his 19th anniversary of his pastorate, said he has already thought of formulating plans for relief work in late winter. Two years ago, he said, "My church fed twice a day between three and four hundred men for several weeks. But it does it again, the light it does it again, the experience. Because there was something free, men of all classes, criminals and those who wouldn't and didn't work when they could, poor and even crowded the worthy poor away. There will have to be some way for weeding out these undesired individuals, aggregation of criminals who will actually menace the well-being of the community.
"And again, the Associated Charities and the Salvation Army have a system for just this kind of work. Why not put the proposition up to them and give them some across their share the Negro men who need aid?"
"But if they won't do it, or if they shift the responsibility" he was asked. "Well, he replied, "yes, we tried that before and they shifted the responsibility on our churches. This is唯一 one that needs to be done, and it needs thought and money to carry it out, I'm willing to work along the same lines I did before. I wish the Courrier success in arousing the other ministers and social workers in this direction." C. Anderson, pastor of Bitt Bibel, in his home at No. 95 Elm street, stood squarely in favor of the movement. "I think it would be better," he said, "if you would come before the Ministerial Council, which meets every Monday and place the proposition before all the ministers at once. I would be glad to see that they give you a hearing, and take care of their own men in need. Other races do it and we should do no less. Say I am heartily in favor of the movement."
Rev. J. C. Austin, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, at Wylie avenue and Devilliers street, said his denomination has already appointed a committee to devise ways and means for welfare work on an extensive network, that he is willing to co-operate with an especially city movement along lines which he already has in motion. He is glad of the Courier's effort and hopes it will make the work casier by placing it before the people and creating favorable sentiment.

The Bystander, of Des Moines, In. comment.
The American people should never tail to celebrate American Day. One cannot think of the occasion which makes the very best of life, the prayer for the boys who lie in the cemeteries abroad and at home, for their men and those who survived made the world perplexing in today. The only regret lies in the unfathomable muddling of the winding up of the war and the meagre democracy emptied by many who fought with the hope that the dream might be completed. The day should reconsecrate America to the principle of the American dream made in vain. The Detroit (Mich.), Independent goes a bit further in theing of the day. It realizes the vastness of what it against. It says:
It is a day set aside to recall the flame of patriotism which swept over the whole land, consuming the dress of all past differences and fusing the entire people into one national unit the American. The spirit, the money with which it filled the treasury, the charities which it supported, the stupendous and unending of all kinds of supplies that it created, the victory that it made possible. All this gave a new meaning to the life of our country, a new meaning which found its finest expression in a new nationalism, deeper, more fervid than ever before summed up. And now, in peace, The Independent thinks out their problems. It continues editorially:
Peace has brought with it many difficult problems that must be solved. These problems do not alone confront the people of this country, but they are world-wide. They are national and international. The great cost of the war has brought bankruptcy to the people of the country, and to their people. It has produced the necessity for the reconstruction of the land and international policies. Those that obtained before the war will not serve to meet the new situations and conditions produced by it.
But no move worth while was ever made which was not to make homes and home life better and happier. Our work place on the ground was not made easier and assistance to home life. No army was a just cause unless that army fought for the houses of its men. If our homes are pure, our Nation is pure; if our homes fail and are without the power to raise great children to preserve our principles and institutions, then our Nation is ruined at the heart and cannot endure.
The Northwestern fulgletin (St. Paul, Minn.) published November 1918. In an editorial entitled "1918 and 1919" it gives a reminiscence:
NOVEMBER 11, 1918—That day shall never be a memorial event in the life of every nation that contended in the great war conflict. From Metropolis to city, to town, to village, the grievance of war. That sons, who marched away to the best of the drum, the sword, the rifle, the machine gun, the Nazi Land and the battle of the machine gun would give way to the rustle of the winds and the calmness of peaceful living. Nations forgot their pride; aristocracy yielded to democracy—the thing men fought and died to make secure; plasterer walked arm in arm with peasantry, and all markkind alike, rejoiced in the coming of peace. Color, creed, race and religion were forsaken under the spell of war. There was rejoicing everywhere. Amor and love were forsaken under the protection of the country in honor to its sons and in defense of democracy. Every man who wore the Olive Drab was the highest type of citizen. Blood of all races had spilled it off on fertile soil. Little white crosses marked the home of some the bishop cut of others; the enemy bullet held no respect for petals. The life of the bronze soldier had been exposed to the danger of the battle the same as his fair brother. His wounds were just as painful as his for the self-same cause—making the world safe for democracy. So much for the memory of 1918. Turning to 1929 The British peasimistic.

The lesson, so costly learned, is forgotten. Primitives yet snuck. Mob law is still prevalent and more bulletproof than stalemate. The precious privilege of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness, tried by jury and free and unrestrained use of the baillet becomes a Mockery. There is no doubt but that the American-Negro contributed his quota to the cause of democracy and more because he fought for an objective that he has never known. The sings of the land of the free and the brave of the heart. Do we need him to forget that the same rights are others, or bravery when scores of men are necessary to murder one defenseless human?
