Sadler, secretary of the State Conference, have created a political sensation here, basing a mammoth "double-cross" as the reason for their action in protesting Dr. Cannon's selection. Dr. Alexander, graduate manager of Lincoln, University, and former New Jersey assemblyman, is alleged to be the victim of the plot whereby the former was a supporter of the regular Republican faction in New Jersey, it is alleged, and the fight between Sadler, representing Dr. Alexander and Dr. Cannon was one between factions. He made the following statement in connection with the conflicting conditions: "At a meeting called by Dr. Cannon December 7 Dr. Alexander had received the unanimous endorsement for the candidacy of Delegates-Large. Dr. Cannon presided at the meeting and seemed to be in perfect accord with the entire arrangements. He went so far as to inform the "Conference" that he had, in conjunction with other members of the advisory committee of the Republican state committee, already suggested the name of Dr. Alexander, thus denoting his apparent interest in his candidacy.

Mass., Dec. 27.—Harry Lewis Capleton, 27, 6 feet 2 inches tall and tipping the scales slightly above the 200-pound mark, became enraged when his sweetheart, Miss Jessie Anderson, of Roxbury, accepted her father's advice and refused to see him because of his reputation as a gambler, both his sweetheart's and her father's life, and actually shot and perhaps wounded Patrolman Edward C. Sheldon, white, who attempted to arrest him. "He's in the jail house now." Capleton, who lived in Roxbury, went to Miss Anderson's home and he she would not receive him. He threw himself to have threatened the life of the girl and her father in such tones that a neighbor heard him and secretly called the police. Capleton had gained entrance to the home of his intended when the officers arrived, and had barricaded the door, brandishing his pistol and frightening him into submission. The officers battered the door down and as they broke in Capleton opened fire and Patrolman Sheldon fell. Reserve police were called out and surrounded the house, but Capleton escaped through a kitchen window without being touched by several shots fired at him. He went inside and surrounded the house. This time he hid his pistol so as to appear unarmed, and two officers entered the house and captured Capleton hiding in the darkened parlor. Wife of Film Director Says Husband Would Have Sold Her to Wealthy Race Man and "Underworld" Figure for $500,000. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 28.—Charging that her husband, Elsior La Maie, white, film director and theatrical manager, tried to sell her for $500,000 to Lou H. Baker, wealthy colored man, and central figure in the business world of Juarez, Mexico Mrs. Helen La Maie of Long Beach, Wednesday, July 26, at the annual diversity symposium on land in local courts. In her complaint, the wife names Mrs. Mary Ella Howe Holder, of El Paso, Texas, and also asks a share of La Maie's asserted $400,000 estate. Baker's is the silent figure in the dramatic situation. Efforts to interview the wealthy business man have been futile. Although it has been reported that La Maie lost at gambling and owes Baker over $400,000 in I.O.U.'s, rumor has it that Mrs. La Maie has been seen in the vicinity of the Baker's villa. La Maie is declared to be well known in Texas and Oklahoma. Besides writing several plays, organizing motion picture contests and conducting several computer games, La Maie conducted a dramatic school in El Paso, his wife said. La Maie also is declared to be known in the Los Angeles and Hollywood film colony where he has acted as a director and booking agent. Driven to desperation because of the asserted efforts of her husband to sell her to Baker, for which transaction she claims she was to receive $150,000, Mrs. La Maie said in her complaint that she contemplated ending her life, but was persuaded by friends and not to do so. Poverty and the death unless she went to 'Baker in Juarez prompted Mrs. La Maie to legal action, and the divorce action followed.

THE SAFE PAPER FOR YOUR HOME FOR YOUR CHILDREN FOR YOUR COUNTRY Aftermath of Oil Fraud Case Brings Action by President Overton in Cook County Circuit Court. CHICAGO, Hll., Dec. 27.—The Chicago Herald and Examiner, a Hearst publication, has been made the defendant in one of the largest damage suits in the history of the country. The suit, for $1,000,000, was filed last week in the Circuit Court of Cook County by Anthony, Overton, president of the Douglass National Bank, the only national bank controlled by the race. Made the victim of a broadside from the daily papers, who published a story apparently incriminating the bank in bold type, the management of the bank recovered from the blow and forced the papers to retract their statements, exonerating the bank from all connection with a man named Swinder, the builing of a bungalow, a newspaper more flesh week. Charging yellow journalism of the vilest sort and a malicious attempt to distort the real news value, so as to appease the public's Nero, business men and business institution, bank officials took immediate action, with the result that the libel suit was filed. Swindled Out of Thousands. Charges were made to the effect that 750 investors had been swindled of over a half million dollars in the Admiral Oil Company of this city, when it was learned that the president of the concern had skipped town and that one other important officer was "dead." A. Y. Young, cashier of the Douglass National Bank, was used by the promoters of the company to advance their schemes, his name appearing on their prospectus. Mr. Overton immediately started proceedings to protect his institute, and was used by the promoters of the fake oil companies had in no way been a part of the Douglass bank. Suit was filed post-haste against the Heart-t interests in this city for $1,000,000 by Mr. Overton, through his attorneys, Richard J. Hill and S. A. T. Watkins, supreme councilor of the Knights of Pythias. This action on the part of the bank was a column leave in the local Herald Examiner, the headline of which admitted that the "Bank was unjustly named in fraud." Knew Nothing of Affair. Mr. Overton gave the following public explanation: "Bonds and stocks of the companies mentioned were dated December, 1921. The Douglas National Bank was chartered June 27, 1922, and my connection with the institution has been from May, 1922. Apparently, promoters of the bank have other company involved used the name of the bank. When they did so, it was without knowledge of the bank president or any of its other officials. The first thing I personally knew of any part of the transaction was some two or three months after I took charge of the bank, when several; perhaps one; certainly not more than three, coupons came in by mail from a bank in western New York for redeemment. "I started to find out what it was all about and the directors took the matter up. A notice was even affixed in the bank, warning officers and proposition in which the name of the bank was used unless they personally saw me first." Overton is a native of Kansas, a graduate of the State University, and since his youth has been variously engaged in business enterprises. He is known as a man of few words and decisive action. Besides being president of the Douglass, National Bank, he is the founder and owner of the Overton Hygienic Company, which institution alone is valued at over one-quarter million dollars. He is regarded as one of the most thorough-going business men of the race.

This is the question rocking in. ner circles of the Old North State following the conviction ofthe youth on a charge of assault. and his sentence to eighteen months on the roads of Henderson county, ‘The youth ,-who thronghout the trial “maintained a stoical silence has caused many to believe that he is shouldering ‘the blame for 1 “black and tan” love romance, and that the action of the courts though fair: in their opinion, is really not based on facts. Williams’ defense maintained that even if the youth had used the languago charged by the State, the fact that he had made no show of force, no attempt at violence and no effort to prosceute any evi design kept the conduct from reaching the bounds of an assault. ‘And the tumor, alleged to have started from the hysterical lips of Williams’ white paramour7 will not down, that the youth was a. victim of his indeseretions, and that when others beeame aware of the “affair” ‘being carried on between the tivo, he convinced the girl, against her protesta, that the course now being pursued, was the only way ont, in Srder to save the honor of the girl. \ Tustice Clarkson's opinion to the jury would seem, in part to bear jut this contention, Ib follows: “A Negro youth using this foul, indecent. language toward a young white -girl, as a matter of common knowledge, would create apprehen- sion and fear and the fact that he sed ‘much language would plain. ly indicate a ‘heart regardless of social duty and fatally bent on mis- Shief?”” Probing Alleged Shortage.

Any one acquainted with the impediments that were put in the way of labor agents, with the fact that in places labor agents were driven out by mobs during the war, that legisla~ tion was passed, making it difficult if not impossible for agents to come into the rura] South and move the Negro away—any one who knows these things will recognize the fact that the South is afraid of losing him, This resistance to,the depar- ture of the Negro did rot come to an end with the war, but is evident today. There is at this writing leg- islation pending in many Southern states impending the free movement of the Negro from state to state. “And yet that movement of the Negro to other parts of the counry is the first step in any alleviation of the racial situation in the South, he declares. 4 “With the disappearance of fear ‘and the growth of anxiety to keep ‘the Negro in the South because the South wants the Negro and knows him, must come a gradual attenua- “Buddy” Pritchard Seeks Commutation Among the petitions before the pardon board which sits in Harris- burg this week is that of “Buddy” Pritchard.

Tells of Hiding Body in Cellar and Two Years' Flight Abroad. (Afro-Courier Service.) BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 27. Benjamin Hawkins, 628 N. Central street, who, in August, 1921, killed his wife, and who, after hiding her body in the cellar, eluded officers of the law by spending most of two years on the high seas, was captured in Portland, Me., brought to trial and convicted of manslaughter in Part 1 of the Criminal Court Friday. The crime for which Hawkins was tried brought to light one of the most sensational murder stories ever revealed in the local courts. Brought back to justice after two years of freedom and after he had traveled almost around the world, Hawkins broke down and told on the witness stand the whole story of the crime in which he admitted clubbing to death the wife he loved and making his escape after hiding her body in the cellar of the home in which they lived. Quarrel Over White Man Beginning his narrative with the assertion that he loved his wife and did not mean to kill her, he told of the trouble that he had had with her on occasions before the fatal night of the killing. He came from Columbia, Central America, and in 1915 married the dead woman, Mildred, and they lived at 628 N. Central avenue. On Tuesday, August 8, both he and his wife left the house, she to see about some stock she had bought in the Wonderland Park project and he to the picture show. He returned before she did and went to bed. Late that night, he testified his wife, in company with a white man, came to the house, and not knowing of his presence, entered the kitchen. There GIVES GOOD ADVICE TO SICK FOLKS Wants Sufferers to Know How He Was Relieved of Terrible Indigestion "My physical condition was so run down—I had that tired, worm out feeling all the time, that for many days I had to drag myself to work. Food did not taste right and what little I did eat did not digest. I would get sharp burning pains across my eyes. At night I would get spells of indigestion so bad that I could not sleep. Then a local newspaper brought the story of Todd's Tonic, and I tried it. The fact that I am in a strong, healthy condition today is due entirely to Todd's Tonic. It seemed to start new, rich blood coursing through my veins. I have a wonderful appetite now and every morsel of food digests. I am entirely free from those pains in my head. My rest at night is good and free from pain and misery. Even my fellow employees notice the new force and vigor I put in my work. I recommend Todd's Tonic heartily, especially to sufferers who despair of getting relief."—DANIEL CAMPBELL, 172 Auburn street, E. E., Pittsburgh, Pa.

Father Of Girl Who Carried On "Affair' Severely Beaten BOCKY MOUNT, N. C., Dec. 27. Because he was the father of a young woman who, it is alleged, carried on an "affair" with a young married man in this city, and because he refused to heed several warnings, J. Y. Barnes, local merchant, was taken from his store last week by a number of masked men, beaten and relieved of $200 in cash. was something said by the couple, as he overheard their conversation, about eight dollars promised the woman by the white man. Then he entered the kitchen. "The white man," he continued, "made n bee lines for the door. She ran also, and I tried to catch the man, but he made his escape." Hawkins then declared he went back into the house and after, picking up up eight-dollars the pair had dropped in their hasty retreat, tried to console his mind by playing solitaire. His wife did not return until the next evening. When she came in he upbraided her and, according to his testimony, when she attempted to shoot him with a small revolver he took a window stick and struck it from her hand. As Wife Died. He did not remember striking her but once, he said, and when she fell he went back to the table and continued a game of solitaire he had begun. After completing the game he looked around and she was still lying there. He examined her and finding her dead, heaved her down in the cellar. Then after deliberating as to what to do, he pushed her over into one corner and covered her up with some boards. He sat down and wrote a letter to the police telling them that when he killed her sisters he would come back and give himself up. He next went to New York and from there to Norfolk, whence he shipped as a tailor, traveling to several foreign countries. Mailed on Seas But Hawkins was a prolific letter writer; and once when on the high seas he wrote a letter back to a woman here in Baltimore. Other letters gave the police a clue that he would be back in this country and a lookout was ordered, resulting in his arrest five weeks ago in Portland, Maine. The body of Mrs. Hawkins was not found until the Saturday following the killing. She was so decomposed at the time that it was thought that she had been shot, a hole in the left temple indicated that some foreign instrument had fractured her scalp. After striking her, Hawkins had washed her face and all traces of blood from himself. Blood-stained clothes were found in the cellar with her body. He described the club he used as about 18 inches long and two inches thick. Officers who examined the cellar and house at the time of the killing also found the club, but thinking the woman had been shot did not keep it. Under a severe cross-examination by Deputy-States Attorney Wells, Hawkins admitted hiding the body and deliberately planning to make good his escape. Sisters of the dead woman told of many quarrels the couple had had and of threats the man had made. Negro Mortality Is Discussed in Philly PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 27. The Health and Child Welfare Association of Pennsylvania, meeting at Cheyney Normal School, Cheyney, Pa. discussed ways of improving health conditions and stamping out tuberculosis in colored communities where the death rate is three times that among white communities. Dr. Leslie P. Hill, Dr. Charles A. Lewis, Miss Katherine Pritchett, Miss Florence C. Beck and Miss May Brown were the speakers. Over 65 Race Volumes By White-Colored Authors In Wylie Avenue Library Hair Seed Magic Wonder Hair Grower Education for Asking. Public Urged to Make Use of Free Institution. Wondering just what were the educational opportunities for the "self-help" class of the 60,000 Negroes of Greater Pittsburgh and vicinity, The Pittsburgh Courier sent a representative to the Wylie avenue branch of the Carnegie Public Library, at Wylie avenue and Green street, where he found not only 25,000 volumes covering every subject in the realm of human thought free to the people, but there are listed in the library catalogue more than 65 volumes of Negro and white authors, covering every phase of Negro life. The library is situated in the heart of the "Hill" district, where the majority of the colored citizens of this city reside. Hundreds are within walking distance of its doors, and, according to Miss E. M. Boli, manager of the branch, many make good use of the opportunities offered. Speaking indirectly to the people of the community, Miss Boli said: "The library belongs to your neighborhood. Why not use it? It is a very simple matter to belong to the library, for books may be borrowed by coming to the library, signing a card, giving your name and address, where you work and the name of one person whom you know in Pittsburgh. You will then be given a library card and may take home books at once." She added, on behalf of her 12 assistants, as well as herself: "The library cordially invites you to make use of all of its resources and the services of the library assistants." Speaking further, Miss Boli said: "The Wylie avenue library is a community library which lends books and answers questions. It provides a reading room, where the daily papers and the latest magazines may be read. It has books of travel, history and biography, books of adventure, poetry and romance, books that will help you to know more about your job, books on cooking, sewing and millinery. And for those who are trying to complete their education outside of school there are easy-English books, spellers, grammars and arithmetics. "The library also has a special room for children, where the boys and girls will find the kind of book that they all love to read. And every Tuesday there is a story hour after school." Of the many books on the Negro which the library contains, there are six on biography, nine on fiction, two on literature, ten on poetry, nine on history and twenty on the race problem. Books of Biography. Books of Biography. Of the volumes of biography there are Booker T. Washington: "A Builder of Civilization," by Emmett J.

Washington: "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole," by Matthew A. Henson, who was with Admiral Peary on his famous pole trip, and "The Life and Times of Booker T.

It is a question with the human family generally as to the above declaration; not only the identity, but the color we manifest on the spirit side of life. This thought has been advanced by those who are groveling in outer darkness, and this: when we did, we change color. To those who are sponsors of such thought or belief, permit us to state, "You are more to be pitted than censured." "No, no," dear reader: as you have been taught to believe, "Just as the tree falls so shall it lie." The same obtains, as to the identity after we pass from the mortal to the spiritual. These truths we declare unto you by contact, so they demonstrated through Modern Spiritualism: Whatever the color we munifest in the mortal we retain in the spiritual.

The Postgres THE PLTTSBURGH COURIER Roland Hayes At Carnegie Music Hall, New Year's Night Roland Hayes, the famous tenor, who has had such wonderful success in the many concerts which he has given in Europe during the last two seasons, and will appear in Carnegie Music hall, New Year's night, January 1, was especially invited by King George V of England to sing before the Royal Family in Burkingham Palace. Mr. Hayes sang several of the Negro spirituals which he has introduced to the European public and with which he has so deeply impressed them, notably "Go Down, Moses," "Steal Away to Jesus," "Sit Down," "Swing Low," "Sweet Chariot," and "Peter Go Ring-a-dem Bells." Her Majesty then requested "Didn't It Rain." The King and Queen were deeply interested, and King George asked many questions about these songs, about his race, and about himself. And then the Princess urged that he sing more more. The audience was scheduled to last 30 minutes. It lasted over two hours and was ended with reluctance. King George presented Mr. Hayes with a diamond pin surmounted by the royal monogram and the imperial crown. Mr. Hayes' program for the New Year's night concert follows: (a) Ariette .....

For Stylish Stouts The sleeveless frock is usually difficult for the woman who is too stout, because usually—though not always—the arm carries superfluous flesh. This is especially unattractive. If you have, however, well-proportioned arms, then make the most of them. However, the ugliest part about too large arms is the back view you get of the joining of the arm and the shoulder—and this view you can seldom get yourself even with a skilled arrangement of mirrors. The Courtesy of Accepting Attentions from Gentlemen Most Cherished among the Gifts bestowed by the Passing Year is the memory of the pleasant relations with those whom we have been privileged to serve. And so it is most sincerely that we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year PORO COLLEGE Mr. and Mrs. Malone PORO HAIR AND TOILET PRODUCTS Simplicity In The Dining Room The present mode of dining rooms is one of extreme simplicity. Between meals the table is left bare save possibly for a single linen centerpiece and a vase of flowers or pot of ferns. Chairs are usually neatly drawn up to the table in the position they take at meals with the extra one standing against the wall at regular intervals. The buffet does not carry a variety of accessories—mustard bottles, table crumbers, salt dishclubs. It may have leaves, candles, sure-fire dried fruit dish or a silver tea set, but in the most fastidiously equipped houses it is now considered in best form to have nothing of an edible nature—salt, pepper or cruets—in sight between meals. The wall of the dining room is not regarded as the appropriate place for a collection of pictures—least of all framed photographs. In fine old homes of England it has long been the custom to place on the dining room wall a few stately richly colored portraits, paintings, or sculptures, scouting of the room. And this custom is imitated in some of our American dining rooms. One or two fairly large decorative pictures may be used, but a number of small intricate ones merely distract the eye and detracts from the simplicity of the room. The Empress of Zadotou, the beautiful brownskin daughter of the famous Emperor Menelik, bears on her breast the cross that must be worn by every Abyssinian ruler, as a sign of fidelity to the Lord Christ. The Courtesy of Attentions f To the well-bred young woman it is just as embarrassing to receive a proposal which she is disinclined to accept as it is galling for any man to realize that he has wooded a young woman in vain. In romances of course the type of distracted lover who pours out his plaint of love even when he knows it is hopeless is rather usual, but the real flesh-and-blood young man usually wants to give his face. And any young woman who is not entirely selfish and unfeeling will so plaint her cards in the game of love to avoid an unnecessary declaration. As we conduct courtship affairs in this country such an avoidance of embarrassing rejections is easier than it is in countries where young women do not have a chance to become well acquainted with young men before their engagement.

Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Invades Louisville For Big Conclave;Pgh.ChapterThere LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 26. — Louisville, metropolis of the Blue Grass state, nationally famous as the stamping ground of race horses, pretty women and the spirituferment, has been invaded by its first university. Today members of the Kappa Alpha Psi, national Gray letters fraternity, arrived here from its numerous chapters from University of Southern California in west to Columbia University in the east. The Grand Polemarch, W. Filius Liber Life Insurance Company of Chicago called the thirteenth grand session of the fraternity to order at its assembly hall at 4 P. M. today. In the evening an open session was held with the people of this city. Prof. Meyzeek, local Polemarch of Accepting from Gentlemen has very little opportunity to show her feelings toward possible suitors, as it is not until she is engaged to a young man that she has much opportunity to see him alone or to become at all well acquainted with him. In this country, however, a young woman has every chance to express herself. When a young man showers the young woman of his choice with gifts of flowers or easily invites her to the theatre and asks to accompany her to dances, seeks her company on country walks and at tennis and skating, he is doing three things—he is giving her an opportunity to like him if she will, he is showing his own devotion and he is also giving her an opportunity to indicate by her acceptance or refusal of his courtesies whether she is inclined to return his feelings or not.—Selected. Perry, and President of the Free Standard Bank, Lovett, of the local chapter, have ranged impressive entertainments and programs for the visiting brotherhood, outstanding among which is a theater party to attend the Roland Hays recital. Telegrams aided congratulations poured in fro all section of the country. Among Kappa men wiring benches were Dean Jones of the University of Howard, F. B. Ranson, attorney and general manager of the Madison C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co.; J. Avery, vice president and secretary of the North Carolina Mutta Life Insurance Co.; Harry Pace and John Nail, Jr., well-known business geniuses of New York, and Robert B. Hammond, the Alpha Phi Alpha and the Omega Psi Phi were among similar organizations to so great the Kappa. Frank L. Gillespie, president and founder of the Liberty Life Insurance Co. of Chicago, delivered one of the principal addresses. A strong delegation was sent here from the east including Howard University, Columbia, Lincoln, the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Brooklyn New York University and the University of Pittsburgh, and the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pittsburgh alumni chapters.

Coffeys Use Shrewd Scheme, Beat Loendi Five, 34-32 Premature Blowing Of Whistle Ending Game Gives Visitors Edge Fate, that fickle goddess of sunny whims, aided and abetted by the premature shreik of the timer's whistle, ending the final period of contest, broke up a belated rally on the part of the Loendl tossers at Labor Temple last Thursday night, and indirectly caused the defeat of the Fullerton street lads to their most ancient rival, the Coffey club, 84-82. The game, a typical Coffey-Loendl fray, was one of the greatest ever witnessed on the local floor, and but for the fact that the visitors, shewled and tricky from a heritage handed down by their forefathers, took a most unfair advantage of a tense and critical situation, the game might have ended differently. For Loendi, completely outplayed during the first part of the game, with the score standing, at 22-12 when half-time was called, started a game uphill fight during the second stanza, and were right on the heels of their foes when Golomb, one of the members of the team, who had been in the game for a few brief moments, and had later secured a seat at the officials' table, gathered father time by the forelock, blew the wristle, and caused an argument which prompted Coffee to remain their presses, so that when it was finally decided that the game should be played out, Coffee and all the heft of the argument. Coffees Get Lead. Leendi, prepared to fight their hardest and best, and with most of that crowd of over 1,200 people, who had showed their way into the Temple, to see the first game of this highly hostile series, confident that Leendi was about to come into her own, met with impatiens in the first minute of play. The hall had just been put into play, when Happy 900 faced Leendi, forced, where play this year has been a revelation, was halted abruptly in a head-on collision with Moy' Marks, the brains of the Coffey five. Time was called while the two injured players received first aid attention. It was disclosed later that both had received injuries over their right eyes, but investigation disclosed the fact that Nick's cut was far deeper than that received by Marks, and that the former play was over the game, the pain in his head making it impossible for him to speed along at his usual canal. Coleys obtained the lead through the work of their men at the 15-foot mark and several field goals from the hands of Captain Levine, Adler and Mervis. The team quickly hopped out to a commanding lead, and with Leoni contesting every point, forced ahead until the second half. Things looked for the locals when the second period started. Any team has cause to be worried when Coffeys are sporting a 10-point lead at the half-way mark. And a cur C. J. HANDASRLAY, of Amnesbury, Moss, who says he had lost all hope that anything could cure him of Rheumatism, declares that since taking Neutrone Prescription "100" he has no moreaches or pains and feels twenty-five years younger. CLASSIC "I am in my fifth year, but since saking 'Neutrone Prescription 59', I am as healthy and strong and can do as much work as I could twenty-five decked Mr. C. J. Handslar of 40 Elm St. Amesbury, Mass. "For the last six years I have suffered untold pain, day and night; at times so bad I could not sleep. My legs swelled so I could hardly walk. "I saw by the tapers what fine doing for other rheumatics, so I same. It did me good right from the start. All the aches and pain left me; the swelling in my legs went down, and I feel like a young man again. 'Neutrone Prescription 59' is what put me on my feet again, and I gold of the chance to tell everybody about it." 'Neutrone Prescription 59' now comes in table, as well as liquid whatever is preferred.

Appomotax Club Staging Tourney CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 27. — The Appomattox Club here is conduct- ing a tournament here which includes some of the club's best. The club boasts of 30 A-class players, 20 B-class players and any number of the other classes. Those in the A-class are led by Dr. W. W. Law- son, formerly of New York City; Henry Cole and M. Davis Caroy. vary glance at the score-sheet indicated that Coffeys had not only outscored Loeniel almost two to one, but had actually outplayed them from whistle to whistle. But Loeniel, with that fighting spirit typical of all great Loeniel machines, started their comebreak. Sooak Mason, whose stellary work during the first half kept Loeniel in hailing distance and with Posey and Ricks flashing some spectacular floor work, the Loeniel machine slowly began to hit on all five. The end of the third period found the lead cut down to six points, with Loendi reaching its true form. Soon after the start of the final period, Loendi came within an ace of tying the score, aided and ahetted by a sensational floor shot from mid-court by Betts. The game had but a minute to go, when Aller took the score shot, sending the score to 34-22. Loendi, getting the ball in her possession from the tip-off, seemed destined to make another field goal, when suddenly, and without any warning, the shrill, staccato blast from the hall, rudely interrupted the spurt. Then followed the incidents as listed above, a conference by Referee Buck Snyder and Umpire McGlinchey, with the result that it was decided to play out the balance of the ball, the ball coming back to the center of the floor and, despite the fact that Young tried hard, Aller got the jump and Foccles stalled the remaining seconds off, with Loendi unable to get a hold of the ball. The score: Loendu-32 Conley-34. Ricks F Mervis Moton F Levine Betts C Adler Young G Marks Posey G Gefskv Substitutions—Shelton for Ricks, Ricks, for Shelton, Golomb for Marks, Marks for Golomb.

"Corrothers, one of the most popular men on the campus of the famous Virginia college, has distinguished himself on the cinder path, on the diamond and on the gridiron and this honor coming to him seems to be the result of not only his ability as an athlete, but his popularity and whole-hearted spirit which he constantly manifests for his Alma Mater. When interviewed, Corrothers said: "I plan to make my election to the captaincy redound to the credit of the entire team. I am going to do my best to help make the Union team of 1924 the greatest aggregation of grid warriors ever assembled. We have a wealth of good material on hand which only needs development and with the closing coaching of our famous H. D. Martin, mentor, I have no doubt the Panthers of '24 will be hard to beat." Signs With Homestead Grays THE TOUR JE MAYE Americafn Giant star, who has been signed up to play with the Homestead Gravs next year. WINTER'S AND SUMMER ECHOES BLAST By William Dismukes Ruba's announced plans of a baseball school, to be put in vogue with the players who are already in Chicago, his early departure to Texas for spring training in addition to donning his uniform next season and handling this club from opening lines, hespeaks and all meaning for the rest of the clubs in the league. The Giants, while in Texas, will play pre-season games against the Kansas City Monarchs, who will train in Texas again the coming spring. De Moss, veteran second baseman, and captain for three years of the American Giants; Williams, shortstop, and Jim Brown, catcher, handed in their signed documents to the coming season, while the league meeting was in session early in the month. With these three worthies signed and an official announcement of the signing of Tradwell, a sturdy righthander, to bolster the Giants' wobbly pitching staff, the Giants have the nucleus of a great ball club right here. While there was no actual trading or transferring of players during the meeting early in the month, it is generally understood that the proposed deal which was to have been offered from Indianapolis to Chicago, is still hanging fire and may explode before the next meeting of the official body early in the year. Ban on Drunkenness. The late C. I. Taylor always openly denounced ball players who were drunkkards, and very few graced the lineup of his teams. Back in 1908 a player who later was a star on one of C. I.'s greatest teams, came out of college and joined the Brooklyn Royal Giants. During those days quite a few of the players drank freely, when the player played their team manager cautioned his players as to their conduct when this recruit was around and to the amazement of the personnel of the club. this same player produced a quart bottle of whiskey when the team got to the hotel that night. Some of the wise ones in baseball have said that they knew players who could do their greatest tricks, the fulfilling of liquor, but as the game is played today, it requires thought, and a drunken man cannot think (in the right channel). Rube has often said that drunkards who were on his club had to part with their ways or the American Giants, but the coming season he seems determined to carry out his sayings. The owners of the rest of the clubs in the league will soon follow in his footsteps. So young ball players who are clinging to baseball as a means of livelihood should take extra precaution and stay away from the "white mule." This One Should Have Remained in the Game. The American Giants were playing on the coast a few winters back. One of their players hit a home run, his first trip to the plate, putting the Giants in the lead. The same player was benched in the next inning by Pete Hill, who was captain of the club. The Giants could do very little with the opposing pitcher on this particular day, finally losing the game, 2 to 1. Rubie happened to be on the gate during the game inquired of Hill as to why the player in reference was benched, whereupon Hill replied, "He was drunk." Origin of the Name "A. B. C. s." I, as well as other players on the Indianapolis club, am often confronted with the question as to why the Indianapolis club is called "A. B. C." The late ninety aides a brewing company opened business at Indianapolis. To advertise their beer the owners organized a colored baseball club, which in those days was supposed to be able to play ball and at the same time amuse the crowd by some funny sayings or antics. This club was sent throughout the state of Indiana, and wherever scheduled to play, kegs of beer were sent and served to the people free of charge, progress of the game, free of charge. The name of the company was "American Brewing Company." Taking the initials we have "A. B. C.," which was their trade mark. Very few players who have been made major leagues know the true origin of the name. Lincoln Captain Highest Scorer Of 1923 Season LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. Dec. 27.—"Whirlwind" Johnson, the disdainer of misfortune, sorter of headgears and wearer of the traditional number "13" on his gridiron a banner crowd is being looked forgarb, has smashed intercollegiate records for high scoring among the big college teams. The Lincoln captain has to his credit $2 points for the season. He piled up "13" touchdowns, and dropped kicked four goals after touchdown. Orange and Blue rooters feel that the lusty lesbian would have reached 14 touchdowns had he been given the pigskin more than three times in the classic, which Byrd, quarterback, seemingly refused to do. It is alleged that for fraternal reasons this luminary also allowed Fullback Goodman, who made a gain of seven yards, only one try at carrying the ball. Among other high scorers of the season are Captain Doneghy of Howard, who registered 53 points, made by seven touchdowns, two field goals and five for points after touchdowns, and "Jazz" Byrd, who made 36 points against very strong opponents. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Dempsey-Wills Match Would Revive Interest In Fight Game, Opinion Holy Cross Defeats Mt. Pleasant Quint In Thrilling Game Holy Cross Defeats Mt. Pleasant Quint In Thrilling Game The Holy Cross basketball team traveled to Mt. Pleasant and won their initial game of the season against the Mt. Pleasant Panthers in a fast and interesting game by the score of 23 to 20. The Panthers were in the lead during the first half, but the Parish House quintet jumped into the lead in the second period and held the game during the balance of the game. Willis of Holy Cross was the outstanding star, registering six field goals from the floor, while Captain Williams of the same team, had three and Buddie Leftridge two. Chinn and Wilson, the lanky lads of Holy Cross, performed well and showed real basketball ability throughout the game. Green, who substituted for Leftridge, also played well. The lineup went to guard and Williams jumped center, while Willis changed from guard to forward as a floor mate to Oeffridge. The lineup: Holy Cross—23 Mt. Pleas—20. Leftridge F. Wilson Williams F.

All-indications point to a record crowd and the management of the two teams have completed arrangements to have the hall beautifully decorated for their guests and are ready to accommodate a large gathering of floor enthusiasts. The star players on the rosters of both quints represent some of the best of local amateur floor talent and a real thrilling encounter is predicted.

Is Match ive Interest Game, Opinion team for seve team is mah Cuban Leag The att summed up keah saw the anyhow beee pions! of the license committee, will place the commission upon all all-Democratic basis. They also will obviate and make null Governor Smith's stock reply to all Dempsey-Wills inquiries, to wit: "That the New York state/athletic commission was composed of men who were not of his appointment." The inference there was that the governor of New York could issue no instructions to men he had not appointed. It appears now, however, that the policy of buck-passing may have been abandoned for one more adequate and suitable to the times. Boxing is in rather poor health in New York just at present, due to announcing bad decisions and the natural indifference of champions in the matter of risking their titles. Some things are to be done to reinstate the game in popular favor and perhaps the appointment of an all-Democratic commission may be a step in this direction. Tammany Hall wants boxing preserved and whatever Tammany wants during a Democratic administration it invariably gets. There is too much money involved to allow the sport to pass on into the limbo of forgotten pastimes. To Restore Confidence Perhaps, also a Dempsey-Wills bout has been deemed an excellent medium toward restoring public confidence in the game. It would be the most popular move the commission could make, not because white men wish to see Dempsey lose. They merely stand for fair play to all and it is notorious that Harry Wills has been "given the garlic."

But the words did not cascade from the famous “golden smile,” neither were they uttered by one who has the slightest interest. in ‘Jack Johnson's pugllistic past, pres- tent oF future. On the contrary, they came from a distinguished sutgeon of Interna tional reputation—from a specialist in that most modern science, gland therapy. ‘They were voiced by .an authority who recently operated on Jack Johnson and ‘has had him under treatment for three months —Dr. 0. C. Stackhouse, of New York. “Jack Johnson today is a better man physically than ‘ever: before in his life,” sald Dr: Btackhouse. “He ig better than he was when he won the world’s heavyweight champion- ship. He is a finer, physical spect- men than he was when he defeated Jeffries.” “Do you beliove he could beat Jack Dempsey?” your, correspond- ent asked, “That I cannot say,” was the surgeon's reply. “The opinion of 3 sporting writer on such a matter is probably better than mine.

BY GOLLY - WE KNOW A HAT ISN'T A BLEED OR A GLADJURED EIGHT Bed-Tale Tales On A Pullman Smoker "China's" wife had left him and the separation preyed upon his mind. In the old days he had been a bartender, premier and par excellent, who legerdemain in extracting palatable platitudes from forbidden juices made him famous from Coast to Coast. He was as well known on Lenox avenue as State street, and if you spoke the term of "China" in Home or at the Golden Gate, they would ask you: "Which d'ye mean? The country or the bartender?" He was that famous. But his wife had a pull for society and she nagged at poor "China" incontinently and consistently. So "China" quit his job. Tony almost wept when "China" told him hold have to go. Tony was "China's" boss and friend and loved him like a brother. In fact, everybody seemed to love "China" but his wife, and the famous one would have swapped the whole world for her love. Tony brought his finest cussing combinations into play in the way of protest. A bartending career as artistic as an Angelo was about to be blighted and "China" was many kinds of an emphasized damphool, but the retiring mixer was obdurate. "It's the missus, Tony," he said, "and her wishes must always be respected." Tony would have liked to give expression of what he thought of the missus; but something in "China's" eye/broadcasted a cautious "better not." So, "China" went the way of all the roses. He got him a respectable job here and there, and finally obtained one on the railroad. It took sometime for him to become accustomed to the work. Lifting a heavy berth was not like juggling a ginfizz and he suffered. Besides, the money did not come so fast and the wife resumed her nagging. She always wanted money. Once or twice he was forced to "tap Tony," as he termed it, for twenty or twenty-five, and that hurt his pride. And, then, his wife just picked up and left. That was too much for "China" and his mind would not stand the burden. He became a harmless, poor-witted fellow who wandered around the old haunts, carrying a bag, imagining he was "going out on his run." Everybody had a kindly word for him and he never suffered, save for that one place in his heart that only one thing could fill. "What are you doing, 'China'?" Tony asked him one day. "Oh. I'm cooking on the road. Just fixing to go out on my run now." "Since you're cooking," pursued Tony, "I would be glad if you baked me a cake." "Well, Tony, I might do that," replied the poor fellow. "Wait, I'll tell you what I'll do. I won't bake you a cake. I'll bake you a pie." And then he went on his way, a smile on his face and waving his hand to old friends. But finally the strain became too heavy for "China." There was a longing that his friends could never fill. His health was failing. The old bag he carried became shabbier and shabbier, and "China" himself was fading away. One day he was missing. Didn't show up all day. Tony drove his big red car down Calmet way, where China lived and was gone for two hours. Coming back, he stopped at his favorite watering place. "Have a drink fellows," he said, brokenly. "An' give me one, too! Poor 'China' has gone out on his long run!" HAMBONE'S MEDITATIONS By J. P.

Christmas In Other Lands In Germany in the olden days Christmas presents came only to good children. A naughty child was very likely to find upon awakening Christmas morning a stout birch rod instead of toys. Sometimes it was the custom for the parents to lay all the gifts they had prepared for the young people on a table in the great parlor. They would watch while the children unwrapped them and then the mother would tell each of her daughters, and the father tell each son, that which had been observed in his conduct during the year that was worthy, naming as well that which was faulty. Another old custom in northern Germany was for all the parents of the village to send their children's presents to one person who dressed up on Christmas Eve in high buskins, a white robe, a mask and a flax wig to personate Kneet Rupert, who, it was thought, was the servant of Jesus Christ.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 27.— Had Mrs. Calvin, Parish No. 1. won her say again, the home of Calvin Parish, now 64, would have been wrecked and his second mate, a wife of 17 years, would have found her- self homeless in the street.

How can the relative value of a ‘life be gauged? What are the standards of denial which civiliza- tion demands? In Cambridge, Mags., Mrs. Har- riet E. Sullivan, 21, and with merely the first taste of living, knows that not pain alone will give life to her child—but the price will be her own death. * 4 If the child lives, the years will bring the knowledge that it breathes, sees day come, and night depart, feels jo}'s and sorrows—at the prob- ‘able cog of its mother’s life.

The Excited Relatives Mix Newborn Sens se No, One Can Tell (Which Is eh —hokhiere Atk MADRID, Spain, Dec. 27.—A mother and'her daughter in the vil- lage of Corunna were in travail at the same hour. A mob of relatives from miles around packed the spa- cious parlor in the two mothers’ home. ‘Two doctors rushed out of the inner room* simultaneously au- nouncing “It's a boy. ‘The father and grangfather rush- ed in and returned proudly carrying his newborn son and grandson, one in each arm, The cheering, gesticu- lating “relatives. swarmed aroun grabbing the babies. The babice were passed around from-one fo an- other wijle they were kissed and caressed Hearty toasts were drunk to the babies’ health. Aiter half an hour there was a ‘sudden silence. “Which baby is which?” shouted one relative. ‘A frantic investigation proved that the babies had been completely mixed up. They looked alike. None of the relatives could distinguish be- tweon therh, neither cou! the doc- tor, nor the nurses. When guestion- ed.as to which was the mother the babies only set up a yell which could not be translated. Finally it was decided to choose blindly and to Laptize the babies two hours apart. A priest baptized the first, but wheh the second appeared he protested and filed a complaint before the courts. ‘The babies will never know tieir relationship surely. They, will not know who is the grandmother, who is the mother, or who is the sister. The nephew may become his’ own uncle, ‘The mother may become the grandmother of her own son. An amazing number of tangled relation- ships is ‘possible. And when the babies get married the tangle will ‘be still greater. Comfortable Shoes !

And a child reared! without a mother is only half achiid. The gift of life, given to it by its mother at sueh cost will not be received happily by the child.” The mother is conscious.

But even had Book- er T. been endowed with an unbend- ing spirit T cannoz see how he could have done otherwise and carried out his life work. The great majority of the people that needed his help were in the South, where any asser- tion of Negro rights would, as you know, not only have been resentecl four might have eon accompanied with serious results.

He did not have the spirit of a leader, that is, if Hampden, Toussaint ‘L’Ouverture, Geaage Washington, Pinckney, or Patrick Henry had that spirit. ‘The spirit of surrender so much admir- ed in Booxer Washington by many whites is Just the opposite of what these same whites would like to see in their people under similar con- ditione—is"just what they have al- ways condemned most, We hear a great deal of praise for the slave Who stayed at home: guarding his master's property while the master was gone off to war to tighten his chains. Very well, what is your opinion of the white men who" ad- vised surrender to King George, and remained loyal to him during’ the Revolutionary War? I think that if those slaves had had a spark of eelt-respect left in them they woul have taken everything of value they could have set'their hands on, and escaped, sparing no one hindering their flight, ‘The mission of repub- lies is to foster and stimulate self- respect in mankind—to let every man and every woman feel that he or she is an indispensable entity in the universe. There ought to be no cringing or kow-towing to caste.” “Of course this policy of eating humble pie is the best one by which Negroes can get money. But is money everything? Can it buy self- respect? The Jew is credited with having a great deal of money, how much real respect has he? I think that one spark of that kingli- ness of soul which, while respecting superior merit, recognizes no arific- al nobiltiy, whether of caste or color, gives more gonuine satisfnc- sion in the tong run than all the ‘wealth of a Rockefeller. If the black man ever hopes to gain the respect of the whites he will have to make a determinted stand for his rights, regardless of the cost.” “But,” said the Senator; “the Negro is poor, and a poor man car ‘not afford to talk strongly.” : NEGRO DOLLS Christmas .

The occasion was the presentation of Honoreary Membership of the club to Miss Mills by the Board and the presentation of a diamond-studded medal as a token of their appreciation of the young and popular actress. The presentation speech was made by Mr. Edward Johnson (Black Carl). Secretary of the Board, Directors, who praised Miss Mills's intelligence and of how she had endured herself in the hearts of the members of the Dressing Room Club. Miss Mills in her speech of acceptance was so overcome with joy as she spoke of her love for the fellow members of her profession, tears streamed down her cheeks. Miss Mills said: "That if she in any way had done anything to her profession, she was unconscious of it, and it was done only for her love of her art to which she is wedded and for her people." Mr. Gee. Lee made a speech that struck the hearts of every one. He spoke of the man. Miss Mills of years and how through the years he had known her, that she had always remained the same little girl regardless of the heights she had attained. Other speeches were made by Prof. Sydra Chase, Lohrh Whisper, Will Vedreg and U. S. Thompson, the husband of Miss Mills. His tribute to his wife was beautiful, but, as he said, "Modesty forbade him saying what he would like to say." A silent toast was offered to the late Aida Overton Walker, whose place in the theatrical world has been ably filled by Miss Florence Mills. About fifty members of the club were present and a vote of thanks was offered to Miss Crotty for the excellent service rendered on this occasion.

A contract that is not in writing (an oral contract) if supported by an agreement that is not supported by as binding as though if it were reduced to writing; if its terms can be proved by competent witnesses. The necessity for reducing all contracts to writing lies in the fact that some of their terms may be forgotten by one or both parties to it, or one party to it might wish to be forgotten by another party of its terms, or there may be some misunderstanding as to the meaning of some parts of the contract. These and many other circumstances might arise: when they do, it is a most difficult matter for the different parties to it to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

Some contracts to be binding at all must be reduced to writing. These contracts come within what is known as the Statutes of Frauds. The terms of these Statutes vary in the different states, but I think there are some general rules that apply to all of the states alike. These embrace: All contracts for the sale and purchase of real property, contracts to charge another with the debts or obligations of a third person and be performed within one year from the making thereof. These must be in writing to be binding in law. There are other provisions that come within the Statutes that your attorney will take care of. They need not therefore be set out here. These are the general rules that should be remembered and followed by all business men. When a contract has been entered into, every party to it should live up to its terms; the letter; but if one party does not define its terms, its terms he thereby releases the other party to it, who may rescind the whole of the contract if he wishes to do so.

Klan Greatest Menace To Better Relations Between Races, Says Woman Speaker CLASSIFIED Ben Strasser's production of "His Great Chance," now playing at the Lincoln theatre, 2424 Wylie avenue, is well worth seeing. It is a five-reel dramatic comedy with Sandy Burns and Bobby Smart playing the leading roles. All the characters are well done. It is a good show. The acting is very well indeed. Bobby Smart is the funniest of the cast and his anties are enough to repay the price of admission. Tim Moore makes a fine showing in his part as an old man. Fannetta Burns is beautiful and that is about all required of him. Another comedy, "Why Worries" colored, is also playing. It has some good action. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 27. — The greatest menace to better relation between the Negro and whites is the Ku Klux Klan, Mrs. W. C. Winsborough, St. Louis, superintendent of the Women's auxiliary of the Presbyterian church in the City of St. Louis, an address here last week before the meeting of the executive committee of the Federal Council of Churches. She asserted it is "organized anarchy," breaking up homes, terrorizing communities, torturing and slaying victims and accomplishing its diabolical purposes with cover. "The civil which is today the greatest menace to inter-racial goodwill is the Ku Klux Klan. That organization, known as the Invisible Empire, under the guise of patriotism, is sowing seeds of race hatred, lawlessness and anarchy which, if not checked, will strike at the very life of our government itself. I come from a denomination which does not sanction a union of churches an state, which does not intermingle politics and religion. Were the Ku Klux Klan only a small civilian union a main client. However important as is the political side of its activity, there is a moral and religious side which it would seem cannot be overlooked by the Christian people of America. "This organization combines all the evils which the church has been depriving for many years. Mob violence, in its naked reality, is unlovely enough to repel honest men, but the Ku Klux Klan clothes mob law under the guise of benefaction. It is organized anarchy, breaking up homes, terrorizing communities, killing and accomplishing its diabolical purposes with covered faces. "While persecuting the race from which Our Master came, they have adopted the cross as their symbol and saddest of all, have enlisted among their followers thousands of those who profess to be followers of the lowly Nazarene who came to the church and who called all men his brethren.

If this monaster is to be crushed it must be done by the Christian people of America." J. J. Eagan, Chairman. The last twelve months have made a golden year in the lynching record of the country. It was developed the afternoon session of the executive committee of the Federal Council of Churches today by its commission on race relations. Indications are that 1923 will have only half as many lynchings, as 1922, according to the report. J. Eagan, of Atlanta, Ga., is chairman of the committee of W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, and Dr. George E. Haynes, of New York, are secretaries. The statement presented by the commission told of the education against lynching carried on by the churches, of the remarkable cooperation given by the press of the country not only in the south, but also in the north, and said that in the first six months of 1922 there were only fourteen lynchings in the United States, thirteen of them being Norcross. In the first six months of 1922 there were thirty lynchings and in the first six months of 1921 there were 23. The total figures for the last six months are not available. Dr. Haynes said, but those at hand show that the number will be well under half of the fifty-seven lynchings which were carried on in 1922, unless some great outbreak occurs. Dr. Haynes told of the conference held during the year of the progress made in bringing about inter-racial goodwill and understanding in many cities, including St. Louis, Chicago, Toledo, Buffalo, Johnstown, Washington, Bellimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati Dayton, Cleveland, Youngsown, Indianapolis, Wichita, Kansas City and Hartford. The report calls upon the churches to continue their work for inter-racial goodwill and declared that the racial problems of the country can only be settled on Christian principles and ideals. In telling of its plan for 1924, the committee holds out the hope that by the churches marshaling their forces the lynching evil may be completely eliminated from nationals in another year.

Before anyone was even aware of it Johnson's long legs had carried him through the crowd in the Millbourne fire house, where the hearing was held. He sprinted toward Philadelphia with the crowd in pursuit. They shot at him, but he ran on. Constable Chapman guided him and fired. Even bullets could not deter him from keeping that engagement.

B. Ziff Company, 608 South Pearlbor Street, Chicago; 321 Victoria Building, St. Louis, Mo.; 429 Long- gate Building, New York What Is Your Ambition? We hear a great deal about the ambitions of men. Almost every person, high or low, male or female, has some kind of ambition. It may take the form of idealistic, but it is an ambition, nevertheless. And it is in mean distinction to have ambition. Ambitions of the right kind are honorable. But if we were asked for an expression of our ambition, that would we say? Would we say we seek to be a banker, a minister, or a lawyer, or a doctor, or some one of the many specialists now engaged in the common pastime of taking bread and butter? What would we like to have our minds think of us? How would our ambitions look on paper, in print or in practice? What would we be or what would we do? We are reading so much in our Negro journals about leaders; ambitious individuals seeking this or that. We see accounts of men trying to achieve some office, or some critical preferment. In almost every instance, we note that few of the seekers seem fit for or worthy of the places light. It seems to be the policy of Negro editors to blacken the name of some man who is even remotely mentioned for position in life. Not a single candidate is fit or worthy, the estimation of some of our Negro bowlers. They simply bow and howl and howl, always against their superiors in intellect, in achievement, in moral rectitude and public steem, they simply howl. It is a serious business, this thing we call ambition. It is the highest ambition of a certain class of half-light heroism to criticise the ambitions of men of higher rank and position. We wonder, and well we may, whether the howling is not, after all, about the highest achievement of which some men are capable. Perhaps it is the ambition of some men to be howlers. Their howling is sufficient proof of their ambition. We suggest that these lower minds, these smaller mentalities, these weaker vessels, announce once and for all that their chief ambition in life is to howl, and howl, and howl. Quack Doctors OUR daily press has been informing us that out west there is an organization of men who make a living by 'making doctors to order' for so much per doctor. The scheme as disclosed, seems to lie chiefly in issuing fake diplomas, and then bribing some one to secure passage by the State Boards. The whole scheme is gigantic and involves a most gigantic fraud. Several men are connected with the fraud, and the whole public is the victim. If the laws of any of our states are so lax that any one can become a licensed physician, dentist, or even veterinary surgeon to treat horses, without the fullest and most complete examination, then it is high time some uniform law is passed for the protection of society. There is no punishment too severe for those who have foisted upon the public incapable men; nor is there any mercy due the impostors who have bought their licenses and gone forth to prey upon an unguarded people. Experimenting with dogs and cats for the benefit of medical science is even forbidden in some states. Certainly, no one will permit experimentation upon human beings for the benefit of a few crooks who made diplomas and doctors 'to order." Enough of the facts have been disclosed to warrant some definite prosecutions, and it is expected that suitable punishment, after conviction, will be meted out to the offenders. This is due the people, and it is the justice the offenders deserve. Then, too, the honest and honorable physician who has entered by the straight gate, deserves protection. The quick ought never to be allowed even the opportunity to challenge the success or the progress of the man who has labored for his profession, and perfected himself at great sacrifice. The physician is a public benefactor, and he deserves all the protection the law can afford him. If we permit our medical profession to become polluted by a few designing crooks, we are lax at the very place where human life and health demand that we be most alert. Get the quacks! THIS is the age of conclusions. We drive ahead until something is finished; completed as intended, and then we look to new duties and new tasks. The year 1923 is dying—the end in near. Whatever we have to do this year must be done right away, or we shall find ourselves working overtime in the New Year. As definitely closed as are the events of 1923, just so definitely are the new duties of 1924 awaiting us in the offing. They are just a few hours away. The only thing left us in the old year is a memory, a reflection, a thought of the yesterday. Whatever we have done belongs to the past, and we eagerly look forward to the future. If we are permitted to enter the New Year, we ought to do it with some definite purpose. We ought not resolve merely to find ourselves remorseful because we forgot that resolutions are worthy things, and should be kept. The New Year will be what we make it. The passing year was what we made it, regardless of what we planned when it was its infancy. We have nothing left but results, be they good or bad. If Pittsburgh needs anything, it is a co-operative effort for some common good in the community. Co-operation means sacrifice—death, losses and disappointments. To build a business mpy mean the elimination of some individual. Let THE PETTSBURGH COURIER Pittsburgh AMERICA'S DENT, IN 19 His Great Chanc GOOD!

SO FAR MY BOY- DO AS WELL THE REST OF THE WAY AND IN ALL PROBABILITY YOU WILL HAVE THE HONOR OF DRIVING A FULL TERM! TO 1924 CAMPAIGN GOVERNMENTAL REINS such an individual be eliminated. To build a business may be the death of some worthless efforts. Let such effort die. To build a business, some one must be discarded for the good of the masses, the cause or the projected enterprise. Let any such ones be discarded. Business knows no fraternalism, no family ties, no friendships, no tears, nor smiles. Sentiment has no place in business organization and successful business management. Pittsburgh has the brain; it has the money; it has the need, and but one thing it lacks—determination to shed dead timbers and build. May 1924 bring us the courage to shed the dead timbers, and build for our homes, our community and our future. From Among The Best Much has been said of the "Axe Murders" in Birmingham. But the real offender or criminal has always managed to keep his identity concealed. Yet some white newspapers, true to sensational and "yellow" form, have attempted to fasten the crime on a.Negro and give his description and social status—all without knowing just who the criminal is. The Birmingham Reporter, in defending its readers and the colored people of Birmingham generalist speaks on the part of some of our Northern and Eastern daily papers, as well as a number of weeklies, to rush into print with matter of a scandulous nature, especially if these matters refer to the South in connection with the Negro. So anxious are some of these publications, they concern themselves little about the facts, but write long articles and sometimes pages of matter on what they heard, and most of their utterances are wholly untrue. The Axe Murders in Birmingham have offered much for discussion and news stories, have imagined about the situation than really exists and have dared to put their imagination into print, which makes a very bad and ugly picture for Birmingham and the Negro people in particular. The axe troubles resulting in some twenty odd deaths in Birmingham are as mysterious to the citizens within the city as they could possibly be to citizens far away. The Negro is easy prey for officers, not in the South, but in the North. The Negro is often placed at his door, not because of being a crime traceable to his nature or one according to his disposition or habits. It is shifted to the Negro because the criminal has not been apprehended and the burden may rest upon the shoulders with less opposition and criticism than it could upon the head and shoulders of any other race. We are not in position to attempt to free the Negro, not to make the charge against any man, other than to express the thought that if the Negro is committing the crimes it is different to any of his African habitats, is far from his American training, and is not at all a race trait; it comes more nearly fitting another race. The Negro is American man can imagine the Negro of any class continuing a practice like this for a year or more without being apprehended long before this date.

We have offered our services on the publicity and efficiency end, with the assurance that the Negro public will respond if the cards are less. But these men need assurances from more than one person. There is a rumor that all the parties complained against by the Rosemonds are to take some action in refutation of these charges. Our energetic group admit that they are somewhat surprised at these broad statements, whereas they are more likely to talk of boycott is heard. Yet both complaints are against the same condition.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER THE BLACK MAN'S PLACE IN SOUTH AFRICA, by Peter Nielsen, Juta & Company, Ltd., Publishers, Adderley Street, Cape Town, South Africa. 149 Pages. Price, $150. That the world of color is universally awakening and clamoring for its manhood rights is becoming more and more evident. From 81 to 1944, the United States faced the problem as petaling only to the Southern United States of America, driving himself to the limit, which subsequently meant drawing on the power of their colonial possessions. This colonial man-power was largely colored and contact with the Europeans at their worst—the Nordics, Tuetons, Anglo-Saxons and whatnot—showed the erstwhile "harborsman" largely a game of chance, and spurred them to take a hand in the game. First came the "Yellow Peril" scare—the awakening East—their possibilities. Then came the Indian revolt—Gandhi superiors and enemy of western culture. And finally the trouble in South Africa—where Britain has placed her iron boot. The reader has been calm and dispassionate little book with great effort at fairness and impartiality, beginning with the reader has a right to ask what qualification the writer may have for dealing with the subject upon which he offers his signature. The author of this book claims the qualification she has openers who during many years, has studied the ways and thoughts of the people of South Africa on the spot, not through interpreters, but as first hands through the medium of their own speech, which he professes to know as well as the Natives themselves." In stating the question as he himself sees it, the author says: "The white man has taken up the burden of ruling his dark-skinned followers by force, and the African man has burdened them, burden alone, feeling well assured of his fitness for the task, as seen before him a feeble folk, strong only in their numbers and its only for service, a people unworthy of sharing with his own race the privileges of social and political life, and it has seemed right, therefore, in his sight that this people should continue to bend under his dominant will. But today the white man is being disturbed by signs of coming length among us, and signs of the awakening of the senses of racial manhood that is being demanded for these rights of citizenship which hitherto have been so easily withheld. The white people are beginning to ask themselves whether they shall sit still and wait till that voice becomes elemental and insistent throughout the land or whether they shall beg now to think out and provide means for dealing with those coming events whose shadows are already falling ashore the imminent state outbreak. The strong and solid people are not going to be so strong or solid as it was. The number is growing of those among the ruling rage who feel that the right of representation should also follow the burden of taxation, but while there are many who think thus, those who try to think the matter out in all its bearings' soon come to apprehend the possibility that where once political equality has been granted, social equality may follow, and this approportionate the thinking man to think again before he commits himself to a definite and settled opinion. "Taking the civilization of today to mean an ordered and advanced state of society in which all men are equally bound and entitled to share the burials and privileges of the whole political and social life, according to the laws of nature, and to be capable of acquiring this civilization, and whether, if it be proved that their capacity for progress is equal to that of the Europeans, the demand for full racial equality that must inevitably follow can in fairness be denied. To ascertain whether, in his opinion, the African Natives are capable of acquiring this civilization, and whether "if it be proved that their capacity for progress is equal to that of the Europeans, the demand for full racial equality that must inevitably follow can in fairness be denied," Mr. Nelsen makes some indisputable claims. He argues that the Bantu for nearly thirty years and I have studied them closely, and I have come to the conclusion that there is no Native mind distinct from the common human mind. The mind of the Native is the mind of all mankind; it is not separate or different from the mind of the European or the African, nor from the mind of the Scottish or Irish people. "I can find nothing whatever throughout the whole gamut of the Native's conscious life and soul to differentiate him from other human beings in other parts of the world." "The reason for the fact that the African Natives have never thought as hard and as long as they could have done so, is that, like a law of inherent cannibity, in no lack of opportunity." Through all of his searching and researching, the author finally finds: "It is the marked physical dissimilarity of the black man that raises the fear and jealousy of the white man, and not just inherent mental inferiority in him." The only solution which the whites of South Africa have been able to work out is the policy of territorial segregation. Concluding, the author says: "I have tried to show that there is good reason for accepting the Bantu as the equals of European peoples, achieving achievement, achieving physical impairment, and not being any mental inequality, the whites and the blacks cannot live in peace and good-will together in one place, whereas it follows, as a necessary conclusion, that territorial separation is the only way to bring peace and happiness in South Africa. I say, therefore, that black man's place in his own country must be assigned below and above, but apart from that man, for that which nature has given him, we cannot together." We can only say that the book is interesting and a great thought. But the conclusion is the weakest part of the whole argument. Obviously it is not reached by any means of thinking in terms of right or wrong, but in terms of expediency. And that can be argued, the natives are not able to change the course of their life. The author in our own country has been hardlied far better than all those are still many glaring defects in the policy of the writer toward the blacks.
