J., Dec. 27.—Dr. George E. Cannon, chairman of the State and National Colored Republican Conference, and one of the recognized political leaders of the East, is under fire here as the result of his actions relative to his selection as delegate-at-large to the National Republican Convention to be held in Cleveland June 10. At a meeting of the Republican State Committee here last Tuesday, Dr. Cannon was selected as delegate at large and Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Orange, N. J., was selected a candidate for alternate at large. Allergic. Double-Cross. But colored citizens of the state led by James E. 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. The candidacy of Dr. Alexander he appointed a committee of five persons. Cannon urged to Accept.

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.

Wilcher, pastor of the Bathsheba Baptist Church, Bloomfield and Clifton avenues, is having trouble with members of his congregation. Twenty-five have been expelled for failure to abide by the laws governing his followers.

Those instrumental for the trouble were declared by the church board to be guilty of insubordination, and recommendation was made that they be expelled.

MARLOW, Okla., Dec. 27.—Marlow's unwritten law, exemplified by prominent public signs bearing the command: Negro, don't let the sun go down on you here," caused the death Monday night of A. W. Birch, prominent hotel owner, and the fatal wounding of Robert Jernigan, the first colored man who stayed here more than a day in years. TWO They were victims of a mof of more than fifteen men, who went to the hotel where Jernigan had been employed three days ago as a porter and shot them down when he attempted to persuade them to leave from their threat to lynch the man. Marlow, one of the several towns in Oklahoma which has not allowed our people to settle in their vicinity for years, has abided by the custom of permitting no members of the race to remain there after nightfall. Last Saturday Birch brought Robert Jernigan here to serve as a porter in his hotel. A few hours later he received an anonymous petition ordering him to dismiss the petition once and drive him from the city. Birch ignored the letter. The mob went to the hotel early Monday evening, its members calling loudly for the man and announcing their intention of hanging him on the spot. The hotel proprietor, with Jernigan at his side, hurried into the lobby to intercede, but was shot dead before he could speak. Jernigan also fell, mortally wounded. Their assailants then fled. Mrs. Birch, who witnessed the shooting, said she thought she recognized the man who killed her husband, but authorities Tuesday said they had no clews as to the identity of members of the mob. They were not masked.

"The friends of fair play will do everything possible to put over the entire delegation as a matter of race pride and party interest, but will ever remember Dr. Cannon, who permitted ambition for honor to so far outweigh the principles of justice and fair play. "Dr. Cannon's present attitude on the matter of Southern delegates is a complete turn around from the position he has assumed in the past. At one time, his prejudices against the colored leaders of the South was so strong that he objected strenuously to such stalwarts as Honorable Lincoln Johnson, Perry Howard and others coming in his state to speak in the interest of the party. Day by day, in every way, he proves that his activities are more for personal glory than for service to the race." "Dr. Cannon is chairman of the State Colored Republican Conference, president of the Federation of Colored Organizations, president of the Alumni Association of Lincoln University and in all of these things he has had at all times the unswerving and loyal support of Dr. Alexander. "It does seem to be an evidence of base ingratitude on the part of Dr. Cannon to oppose Dr. Alexander in the only position of honor that he has actually sought."

They pay the prescribed fees and receive the benefits the same as other members." For belonging to these associations is to get the information they give and enjoy the protection they provide. We have never sought to establish social relations." Following the first telegram the Negro banker was the recipient of another, which read: "You have been chosen as member of the reception committee to meet Hon. Frank W. Mondell, member of War Finance Corporation, who will arrive from Chattanooga December 5, to address Southern Tariff Association on subject: "Tariff Levies as a Factor in Loan Values." Please advise acceptance." Suspecting the reception to the ex-congressman would be in the nature of a social affair and not desiring to be the central figure in a "social equality" discussion, he sent this wire: "Regret inability to serve on reception committee. Appreciate your invitation." It was a few days later that the Southern Tariff Association learned that C. C. Spaulding was a Negro banker who would like to share his connections with the movement. That the races do not mix in the South was the chief reason assigned by Arnold for the association taking this step. In replying to the vice president of the Southern Tariff Association, Mr. Spaulding wrote: "I notice you say races do not mix in the South, I do not understand your meaning, but I do know in North America, economic mix in economy, civic and welfare improvements and you never hear of any friction between the races unless it is caused by some undesirable white or colored person. I think there should be a more thorough understanding between the races, everywhere, for the infirmities of the weak, especially when doing so does not conflict with social relations. Would Not Intrude. "I have lived in the South all my life and think I know more about the Southern white people than you do, and I think they know me better than you do. I would not think of intruding my presence any place where not desired. I neither released the telegram to the press, nor gave my name to your association. The whole episode is caused by a lack of information on your part. "The Negro has gained his civilization by coming in contact with the American white man. Since our banks have no organization such as yours, we have to join them for that purpose only. If the Southern Tariff Association, or any other national association, is going to shut the door of opportunity in the Negro's face and refuse him the information he needs, he cannot be by referring to a lecture given to bankers, then it does not seem to me that the association is functioning. "I have no grievance in the matter whatever, and have nothing to regret for what I have done. I am consoling myself with the fact that we shall all reap what we sow." Chief Sued by Chef Man Found Innocent, Despite "Third Degree," Now Seeks $50,000 Damages. BOTTLESVILLE.

Strange 'Love' Affair Sends Youth To Jail Jury Convicts Race Lad on Assault Charge After Alleged Indecent Proposal to White Girl. 'RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 27—Is Osborne Williams the victim of a "forbidden" love affair, and is his conviction the penalty for that love, or did he, as the State alleged, make an indecent proposal, repeated four times on different occasions to a white school girl? This is the question seeking in circles of the North State, following the conviction of the youth on a charge of assault, and his sentence to eighteen months on the roads of Henderson county. The youth, who throughout the trial maintained a stoical silence, has caused many to believe that he is shouldering the blame for a lack of love and interest and that the conviction 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 language charged by the State, the fact that he had made no show of force, no attempt at violence and no effort to prosecute any evil design kept the conduct from reaching the bounds of an assault. And the rumor, alleged to have started from the hysterical lips of Williams' white paramour, will not down, that the youth was a victim of his indescrections, and that when others became aware of the "affair" being carried on between the two, the girl, against her protests, that the course now being pursued, was the only way out, in order to save the honor of the girl. Justice Clarkson's opinion to the jury would seem, in part to bear out this contention. It follows: "A Negro youth using this foul, indecent language toward a young white girl, as a matter of common knowledge, would create apprehension and fear and the fact that he sees it as a threat and by indicate a "heart regardless of social duty and fatally bent on mischief."

Race Problem Unsolved Race Problem Remains Unsolved Over South The South is going in a vicious circle, writes Frank Tannenbaum, discussing possible solutions for Southern problems in the Century. It fears the Negro, and yet is even more afraid to lose him. Any one acquainted with the impediments that were put in the way of labor agents, with the fact that in places labor agents were involved in the war, that legislation was passed, making it difficult if not impossible for agents to come into the rural 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 departure of the Negro did not come an end with the war, but is evident today. There is a fact in this story that the South is impending the free movement of the Negro from state to state. "And yet that movement of the Negro to other parts of the country 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 attenuat- "Buddy" Pritchard Seeks Commutation Among the petitions before the pardon board which sits in Harrisburg 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. This evidence is concrete, beyond contradiction. The writers, with multiplied thousands, bear testimony, in that we see spirits ma- Trend of the "Races" and "The Negro at Work in New York City," by Dr. George Edmund Haynes, secretary of the inter-racial committee of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, New York City; Mrs. Addie W.

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 ..... Paradisi (b) When I Am Laid in Earth ("Dido and Acneas") ..... Purcell (c) Would You Gain the Tender Creature ("Acis & Galated") Handel (d) A Dream ..... Grieg II.

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. In France the well-bred young woman ```markdown ``` Wendell Stanton ..... Cornell University Harry Smith ..... Virginia Union University James Allen ..... Virginia Union University J.

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. Describing everywhere Loendi and Howard MeetNewYear'sDay On New Year's Day the Leoeni management is bringing the Howard University five here for the biggest athletic holiday attraction of the season.

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. Kenny Wilson C. Robinson Chinn G. Swann Willis G. Biddley Substitutions—Green for ridge; Leftridge for Green. New Commission May Advocate Proposed Bout; Buck-Passing Flayed. NEW YORK, Dec. 27—Exhortors for the Dempsey-Mwpill business are looking for immediate developments after January 1, when William Muldoon is due to pass away as nominal head of boxing in New York state. The "Iron Duke," they say, is all over and done with. He is a Republican. In his place, one Edward Curry, who was a boxing function. Frank Dwyer, Republican, also will lose his official head in favor of an up-state Democrat, it is said. The new members, teamed up with William McCormick, chairman Holy Cross Meets N. S. Scholastics OnNewYear'sDay The annual New Year's amateur floor classic between the stellar Holy Cross quintet and the North Side Scholastics will be enacted again on New Years afternoon at the specious Montefiore hall. Enthusiasm is keen and the spirit of friendly rivalry is intense between the teams, which represent two different sections of the city. 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. Wrestling Siki Throws Anderson CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 27.—By A. N. P.)—Wrestling Reggie Siki won his first Western match when he first threw Andre Anderson at the Coliseum Monday night. Wrestling Reggie proved a stinger against the local heavyweight and flopped him in 11 minutes and 35 seconds. Siki didn't do the trick with his faite hold, the combination arm lock, but managed to pin the big fellow with a reverse body hold. Siki, who is stopping at the Y. M. C.

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." The present commission has been guilty of side-stepping, straight arming, reversing the field and all the broken field, tricks in dealing with the Wills issue. It has made a political weapon of a great sport. Only a return of the policy of sport for sport's sake will restore the game to its proper level.

Wilkes-Barre Boxing Club Forced To Cancel Popular Attraction At Great Loss Dispute Over Mixed Bouts in State May Cause Allentown Joe Gans to Lose Out. FILKES BARRE, Pa., Dec. 27. The announcement of the split between the members of the Pennsylvanian Boxing Commission has had a color to the boxing glitter throughout the State. The air of banning mixed bouts (all in part of the pacifist parts of the Keystone State) has effect in this section, more in any other section of theibotized ballwick.

Either of these battlers can give Gans the fight the fans here would demand, but it is more than likely that both of these fighters will want everything in the town including the courthouse and railroad station for their end. Gans has created respect for himself in the ring. The welters who delicately contend for the Walker crown are sidestepting the Allotmenter, and any stirfie follower who has occasion to trip this way into the circle of boxers, will learn this fact none too soon. It means Gans is in a class by himself. The fact that Gans will be unable to meet white contenders, and the fact that colored wellers are as source as bannions to the Estimers, will forced to take up some other diversion as the means of a livelihood. When one considers there are probably only four logical colored fighters in Pennsylvania, including Gans, Libby, Jerry Hales and Gardner, the three who money-getting for the Yuleide or the seasons to come. Gans defeated Jerry Hales and Libby, and must meet Gardner to trounce all the "colored" folk of his State. Once this is accomplished Mr. Joseph Hicks, better known as Joey Gans, will be forced to sing the battles and on dream of wearing the golden crown. Fans admit the rule is unfair when one considers Gans. However, from the statements of Chairman Rocap one is given to believe that he (Rocap) has made a promise to the Director of Public Safety of Philadelphia that no mixed bouts will be sanctioned between now and the new year. However, this rule should not apply in all parts of the State. A restricted territory would fit the case, we are certain. Well-Known Billiard Artist Opens Parlor CHICAGO, Dec. 27. — (By A. N.

Union's Athletic Accomplishments Are Bringing Prominence Virginia School, However, Apparently Not Getting Due Recognition From Howard and Lincoln. In looking over the records of championships won and lost during the past few seasons, we find that the great gridiron aggregations turned by the famous mentor. H. H. Martin, at the Virginia University, have won two championships in two years and were runners-up to the champions in another year of the last three years under consilioration. This record undoubtedly established the fact that Union really has formidable football aggregations, but the two big eleven of the "Big Three" combine have been apparently unwilling to give the Virginia college a date on their football schedule during the last two years. Howard and Lincoln both play Normal schools and institutions that are not rated as high as Union from a schematic standpoint, but continue to evade giving the Richmond university a game, though Coach Martin has asserted his willingness in every instance during the period in which the viridian order any reasonable conditions. Union's position, to the writer's mind, can be likened to the position of Cornell, who has been trying for years to get Harvard and Yale on their schedule of big national college attractions. Although Cornell produced an unbeaten over the years as the most underdoged by many serias as the greatest college team in the country, Yale claims the indisputed right to be considered the best of the collegiate grid aggregations. Union-like Yale, has been playing the best in the inter-college athletics teams which have established their strength in contest with other high-classed schools, but still are denied the privilege of meeting the two big HICKY STAR Stars help you!

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER elevens whom they believe that they are fully able to give a close battle for the supremacy. The only charge that has been attributed by some commenters on the situation is that Union had been charged with poor sportsmanship several years ago. It has been said particularly, good sportsmanship and clean play having featured Union's play and favorable comment has been elicited from all their opponents to bear out this fact. The question is that should the gallant Panther of Union of today be blamed for the alleged unsportsmanship performances of a team years ago when his present record is almost blamed for the faults of his children. The powerful Union of today stands as a worthy challenger of Howard and Lincoln, and they still seem to be unwilling to give the Virginia school a date. It is said that a communication from Howard to Union contained information to the effect that Howard's schedule was pretty well filled up and the chances for Union getting out were practically out of the question year, at about this same season, after Howard had wired that they would preserve a date for Union, sent a letter stating that although they were sorry, that they could not possibly play Union. Apparently it has been said that Howard "buck" at the Washington institution and leave Union out in the cold. Lincoln has been written for a date this season, just as they were approached, last year, but they have not answered favorably as yet. Lincoln and award consider such a worthy and willing foe as Union? Jackson Defeats Bird; Presented With Gift NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 27. "Dodo" Jackson, colored bantam-wight of the Blue Ribbon Rangers, defeated Artie Bird, of Greenville, Monday night in the feature bout of eight rounds at Columbia Hall. In the fifth session, "Dodo" floored Artie with a right to the jaw for a count of four. Again in the seventh round, Jackson put his opponent down, but Bird refused to accept a count. Jackson was presented with a "checker-board" bath robe by the members of the Blue Ribbon Rangers before the bout. S. E. Cooper, a fast light-heavy-weight boxer of Los Angeles, Cal., who tips the scales at 170 to 175 pounds, is issuing a challenge to all mixers in his class. Cooper has established quite a record in his bouts with well-known boxers all over the country. He is located in this territory and is anxious to book up some good cards, evident of the fact that he will give the fair face to his money. Cooper has built up an inviable record on the coast in his fights out in the far west during the last five years. He fought "Vic" Alexander to a six-round draw and battled "Red" Gallaghan of Seattle, Wash., gaining a knockout over the last mentioned boxer. The next man on his list of successes, is "Kid" Fry, an aggressive boxer, whom Cooper won a decision over. He then fought Patsy Flavia to a six-round draw. Cooper has never been knocked out. Of the 65 bouts he has engaged, he won 45, and fought 11 to a draw. Nine bouts were lost on decision. Any manager wishing to hook Cooper, 610 Kirkpatrick street. Cooper, 610 Kirkpatrick street. Ala.

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 27—In an inter-class battle staged last week, the Academic eleven, though beaten, gave the College team a hard gridiron clash for the nonnors. Among the youngsters whose playing was outstanding, was J. L. Thomas, a diminutive end, who performed in "big-time" fashion for the lower classmen. Thomas' end was almost unicircible; his clipping of much heavier backs being of high caliber. It was noticeable that many of the younger boys displayed rare ability and with the proper coaching and management develop into a real lightweight star. With practically the entire squad returning for the 1924 season and with a schedule almost completed that will include games with Talladega, Miles Memorial, Tuskegee and Morehouse, the Alabama State Tigers look forward to a big 1924 CHRONIC & NERVOUS DISEASES TREATED If you have failed to obtain a cure for your Alliment, "Don't Give Up."

Coast Boxer Challenges Local 'Pugs --- Diminutive End Stars A FormerChampionAs He Appears Today X Jack Johnson and Wife Morehouse Holds Odds Over Fisk in 17 Years The gridiron clashes between the Morehouse "Tigers" and the Fisk "Bulldogs" have for many years been the classic of the Southeastern football world. The first game between the Tigers and the Bulldogs was played in 1906. Since that time many a veteran has served his day and passed on. However, they never look back to their alma mater without pride and admiration of their youthful struggles for supremacy on the gridiron. It might be interesting to the veterans and to friends of both the Tigers and the Bulldogs to know how the teams stand after having met in 15 clashes. From observation of the games as recorded below we may easily see that at no time has either team been by far superior of the other. Out of 10-0: 40-0 and both teams were held scoreless while the other enjoyed all the glory the three times each. NEW YORK, Dec. 27. "Jack Johnson today is as efficient physically as he was 12 years ago. A startling statement coming from any one—an amazing assertion even if it fell from the lips of the ebony warrior himself, for it was a stunned world. It stunned the fastic world by blotting out James J. Jeffries in Reno, Nev. But the words did not cascade from the famous "golden smile," neither were they uttered by one who has the elightest interest in Jack Johnson's pugilistic past, present or future. On the contrary, they came from a distinguished surgeon of international 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. O. C. Stackhouse, of New York. "Jack Johnson today is a better man physically than ever before in his life," said Dr. Stackhouse. "He better than he as when he won the heaviest championship. He is a finer physical specimen than he was when he defeated Jeffries." "Do you believe he could beat Jack Dempsey?" your correspondent asked. "That I cannot say," was the surgeon's reply. "The opinion of a sporting writer on such a matter is probably better than mine. But I will say this—If Johnson at his best is the master of Dempsey at his best, and the two ever meet, then Johnson will be the only heavyweight who ever came back to regain the world's title." This is the story of Jack Johnson's greatest triumph, for unless Dr. Stackhouse is mislead John Aubry, the middle-aged man who has knocked the venerable Father Time for the count. He has regained his youth, and at 45 years of age is challenging the 29-year-old champion. Couldn't Make Grade. A few years ago Johnson walked from a prison cell, broke and apparently far past the age when he could hope to elk out a living as a fighter. He knew that he wasn't right. Despite his boastings he realized that he would have no chance against the younger men in their boxing prime. He tried hard to get into some sort of condition, but somehow he couldn't make the grade. He was in fine shape—for a man of 44—but the ring is no place for a man whose years are more than two-score. Then the former champion heard of the gland treatment. He seized the idea as a drowning man grasps a straw. He looked up 17-foot distance and mimicked the physician was convinced that he could turn back the clock for the dusky giant. "In order to understand the condition which hampered Johnson," said Dr. Stackhouse, "you must consider the 'glands of the human body as a family. When one of them mishaphen or is unduly excited there is turmoil. The whole tribe of glands fails to function properly. "For instance, if you step out of my office, become involved in a quarrel and lose your temper, the pineal and pituitary glands, located in the head, are agitated. Then tonight you might suffer an attack of indigestion for no reason on earth that you could understand, but all the trouble could be traced to spasm of the glands, a process which failed to function properly because of the undue strain you had put on the pineal and pituitary glands in surrendering to violent temper. "In the case of Johnson the glands were not working together. One of them was over-developed and it kept the others in a state of over-stimulation in an effort to keep up. The result of it all was that Johnson, magnificent physical specimen though he was, was succumbing to the years. "The treatment reduced the activity of that gland which was setting too fast a pace for the other, so many years. He must be remembered, however, that Jack was blessed by nature as few men are. He is as near a perfect physical specimen as I ever saw. His like could probably not be found in New York. "There is no reason why a physically perfect man of 44 years of age should not be almost at the peak of his physical prowess. But the 100 per cent physically perfect man is mighty hard to find. Johnson is one man that has found his gland threatened to drag him down, but that trouble has been adjusted. Today his is an absolutely perfect body. "When you talk to him now you will notice a placidity, a condition of repose indicating a flawless nerves. He will be in action, he goes into action in the ring. You will see mind and body co-ordinating as never before." A phone call to Johnson's office SEVEN Amateur n Ring SON'S PERFECT former Champ Back To against Jeffries; Nowinkle Dempsey (yes, Lil Arthur has an office and is going about the business of pursuing the title he once held in a very methodical way) was answered by one of his associates, who insured the scrivener that Jack would sit in at MacLevy's gymnasium in Madison Square Garden, in this afternoon. Looks in Great Shape. We were waiting for him when he and Jack MacLevy drove up in Johnson's big car. The big fellow's appearance justified the doctor's opinions. With his cap on, Johnson looked like a man still in his twenties, and a suggestive portrait about his figure. He moved with the easy grace of a well-trained athlete. "Never felt better in my life," said Johnson, "not even when I defended the title against Jeffries. But let some one else tell you about how I shape up now. Here, ask Mr. MacLevy, who is connected with this gymnasium." Jack MacLevy, whose business it is to know all about physical condition, was enthusiastic. "Johnson's condition today is simply marvelous. He looks just as good in the ring as he did when he held the title. His stamina is remarkable. He steps around as fast Jack fought Jeffries his life. When Jack fought Jeffries his wounded the neighborhood of 210. Today he weighs 226. That extra sixteen pounds is a natural excess picked up when he was under Dr. Stackhouse's care and unable to work out. He will work out every day now, and that sixteen pounds will disappear in a hurry." Watching Johnson working out in ring costume is to marvel that this man is 44 years of age. The long muscles ripple and flow into action as the former champion toys with an arm that can be used to get past his famous defense, the futile. Back in 1908 the writer saw Johnson box Jack O'Brien in Philadelphia. If he isn't the same Johnson we saw that night, then our memory plays us false. Tells of Treatment. "Why did I go in for in the gland treatment, so I had to reply to a question. "Well, I have never been interested in new things. I had to do something. Boxing is my bread and butter. I was 44 years of age, and in order to make a living I had to drop some of those years. I have done just that thing, for I am just as right now as I ever was, and ready to meet Dempsey or any other man. The ring that suggests the years in Johnson's appearance is the prominence of two large veins, which twist over his temples. "Johnson tells me that those veins have been there all his life," explained Dr. Stackhouse. "You will notice that, though the lower part of his face is fleshy, the skin of his forehead and temples is drawn tight or the have. There is no flesh at all there to hide those veins. It would be a very easy master for a surgeon to remove them, but there is no reason why it should be done, except to improve his appearance. "Incidentally, Johnson, as he is present, will not require a long training period to get into fighting condition. In three weeks he could be ready to step into a ring and fight as well as he ever did in his life. This is the Jack Johnson of today. A rejuvenated youth of 44, he is ready to dispute the right of way with Dempsey. Is he a real monaco to the Manassa Mauler, or is it that he simply looks it? These are the facts and your guess is as good as any man." Make Yourself More Attractive USE QUINADE No other single factor contributes so much to personal charm and an activeness as beautiful hair.

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.

THE-DIGEST Copyright, 1923, by Pittsburgh Courier Pub. Co. For instance, we remember one production that starred a pretty colored girl, obviously for the sole reason that she was pretty. She had not the slightest hint of dramatic ability, and especially screen dramatic ability. In our estimation she failed miserably. This is only one instance of several. Of some others we could name, we certainly agree with Mr. Jackson, when he says: Some bore every evidence of being close to, if not actually within, the scope of the criminal statutes. Another constructive observation which the Billboard writer makes, is this: The organization of the National Association of Colored Fair Officials was probably the greatest economic and community serving achievement that was made within the race during the year. It will require years to tell of the immense progress the country that this organization is and will be responsible for. The one big immediate achievement already to the credit of this organization is the securing of Department of Agriculture exhibits for colored fairs. A demonstrator with exhibits that required two hundred of four space visited Negro fairs. The value of this to the Negro farmer, and through him to the country at large, especially to the States, where much of the farming depends upon the race, can not be easily nor quickly determined. It is a direct blow at the oft-mentioned ignorance that has handicapped better crop production on Negro-owned farms. But, as Mr. Jackson concludes: But, as Mr. Jackson concludes: It would be unfair to the reader to have written for him or her from one side of the record. It would be likewise unjust to the profession to picture everything in rosette colors. There are two sides to every subject. Nothing is without its liabilities and the colored show business is no exception to the rule. Then he bares the whole thing, in all its uglyness: The general public and the show-world powers have in just about everywhere and in every way opened the door of opportunity to the Negro artist and showman, but—and there a big BUT—the Negro performer is expected to come into this new estate with precisely the same equipment, the same mental attitude of respect for his calling and the same sense of responsibility to the business as prevails with all others who would have its rewards. Selfishness, disloyalty, greediness and the lack of self-respect on the part of those who should know better have done more damage during the past year than may be repaired in many years to come; for while we are measured individually the world has not yet totally abandoned the long-accepted practice of charging the deficiencies of any and every Negro to the group as a whole. Genuine advance is only registered when a person or group has attained higher standards and has become firmly established in the possession of That inner something needed to sustain the new outer covering of artistic glory seems to be lacking in far too many of the group. Until vain display is supplanted with a sense of responsibility to his profession, the colored artist will continue as the mendicant member of the show group. Arrogant manners, unsupported by financial independence, is the stumbling block of many. Disregard for contractual obligations has impeded others. Even more have predestined themselves to failure by patterning their business practices after a certain slazy type of showfolks of another race with whom they have been in professional and a near-social contact. Just by the worst types should have been selected for this initiation when so many should types could be copied in better advantage is hard to fathom. Iniated 'self-evaluation' has been the fault of some others. Self-administered doses of laudation—writing to and for newspapers at times when they should have been devoting energies to their profession—has spoiled some promising folks. The laborer has always been worthy of his hire, but what makes some fellows ask a dependable manager for twice as much salary as they have been accustomed to being promised from fly-by-night producers to whom bankruptry and back stage are synonymous? We expected this, too, barely success without previously experienced experience of professionally white or black. Colonial metals and incarcerates must have hard knocks before they can approach the dignity and value of their profession and position. Such criticism as Mr. Jackson of (Continued on Page 10) Strong Leadership The following are worthy words from the St. Louis Argus: To hold what we have in this country means a constant fight, a constant struggle. This is not strangue to any people. All men everywhere must strive hard if they would progress or even stay where they are. We are sold that we are either going forward or backward. The reason is, that the world moves on and unless we go forward with the great movement, we are left backward. You cannot be what you were yesterday and keep up with the prosecution. It takes a live fish to go up stream. A dead one drifts with the current. It times like these our race needs strength for leadership. Not the kind who catches, catches wherever they can for. Whose every action is controlled by a selfish motive or by others; but, men of opinion, men of courage, men of truth and men of sterling qualities. The time has come when we must get somewhere, not just one here and one there, but as a group. It's the average that counts. If the whole is to be benfitted, there must be strong leadership. Legs Bare To Hips O.K.In Church Dance Christians Need Pagan Display, Pastor Declares in Affirming Poses. NEW YORK. N. Y. Dec. 27—Girls may dance with legs bare to the hips in St. Mark's in the Bowery. Protestant Episcopal Church (white), if the dance is performed in the right spirit. It is the meaning in the dance that counts, not what the dancers wear or don't wear, according to Dr. William Norman Guthrie, rector. He admits he likes a "pinch of saturnalia and a whiff of the spirit of carnival" in it. "We have used dancing here a great deal to indicate the great things of life," he told the parishioners. "When the corps de ballet Metropolitan Hall ception of a Greek dance it is nothing. What they have to say is utterly insubstantial. We want dancing with a meaning in it, and here we have it." The dancing was part of the celebration of the feast of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children. Lights went out and the spotlight focused on an opening in the curtain as four lovely girls in pale green and blue tunes trimmed with cherry wine was called "Cherry Ripe." The girls posed gracefully. Each drew aside her tunic and displayed a shapely left leg bare to the hip. The second pose revealed an equally shapely and equally bare right leg. Then, eloquently and gracefully, they danced a lice song. One of them danced a song to which the retrain was "Who Wouldn't Kiss a Pretty Girl Under the Rose." Cherry wine beating the world for 2,000 years." Dr. Guthrie said, "It is falling back and becoming more and more dead with time. "Let us follow the nature worship of the pagans and, like them, invest our common daily actions, such as going to a football match, shaving or riding in the subway, with that touch of mystic beauty which flourished centuries ago." COURIER-ETTES Queer News As Picked Up From Papers All Over the Country Acquires the Habit Through His Master, and Enjoys It CLARKSBURG. W. Va..

Mr. Mack finds great pleasure in the use of tobacco and naturally being of a kind-hearted nature he concluded that his four-legged pal might derive the same benefit from it as he does. Accordingly Laddie received a generous share and at once showed his ability to master the chew. Since then he has formed the habit and is very proud of it.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER PEACHES, INDEED Present Day Dances Called Excuse For Public Hugging PARIS, Dec. 27. — Symposium conducted by the Intransigent, a Paris afternoon paper, show only one out of several authorities on dancing favor the modern dances. Others yearn for a return of the old-fashioned-polka and gavotte. Here are some of the replies: By Edith Kelly Gould: The fox trot and the tango are pretty dances, but are not so beautiful as the old French ones. I should like to see the Lancers, the quadrille, and the gavotte brought back into popularity. CORAL Coral is in tremendous vogue just now—both the red variety and the pink variety. Both colors are good. It is used in all the usual ways, for all sorts of jewelry. It is also used for trimming frocks and hats in ways that are unusual and interesting. Lives in His Car While at College H. Leikvold, pharmacy student at the University of Florida, has adopted a novel way of living, while pursuing his course there. He has built a one-room house on a small car chassis, in which he claims he has all the conveniences and few of the discomforts found in living in the dormitories and rooming houses. "I can come and go when I please," says Leikvold. "I have electric lights, the current being furnished by the generator on the car I use to tow my house from one place to another. I have a gas stove that cooks my food and keeps me warm on cold nights. In addition to these conveniences, he has a typewriter bed, table and clothes chair in his house which contains a surprising amount of room in spite of its small appearance. Mr. Leikvold graduated from the Davenport high school last year and has lived in his house on wheels most of the time since. It is situated at present on a vacant lot east of the university camps. WIFE WHO FLED MUST KEEP GOING 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 herself homeless in the street. But the court ruled differently and Calvin's first love may go back into obscurity. It was 19 years after their marriage in 1831 that Mrs. Parish carried away the five small Parishes and left a note telling her husband it would be useless to search for her. She had departed with another man. Nothing was heard of the wife until twenty-one months later, when Parish received a message to join his wife and children at Watervliet, Mich. Calvin sped there, but his wife was taken away, and near the town he found his five offspring, half clothed, half starved, half frozen Parish brought the children here and established them again in the home he had maintained, in a hope that some time his wife would return. In 1906 Parish again married and soon there came two other children. In August of this year, the first Mrs. Parish came to South Bend and found her husband's home. Parish immediately sued for divorce, charging abdomen. It was when the case came up for hearing this week that the story of their lives was revealed. Wife No. 1 contested, but Parish proved his point. Parish was awarded a divorce. Should a Mother Sacrifice Own Life That Her Unborn Child May Live? By Napier Kowhski: I hate the jazz band and I dislike the tango. The fox trot I abhor because your partner is too occupied with the dance to think about you and the tango I dislike because it is so sad. By Raymond Duncan: Dances of the modern kind do not signify anything, they express no sentiment, not joy, not sadness, not even love. Only desire. Modern dances are merely sensual exhibitions, devoid of taste. People no longer dance for the joy of dancing, but because it is an excuse for hugging each other in public. PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING:— There are 65 Negro women physicians, surgeons, and osteopaths in this country, according to figures compiled by the Department of the Interior through Howard University. There are 5 Negro women who practice denisty in the United States. Other statistics show that the average yearly increase of Negro physicians is 63 when there is an annual increase of less 450. The average number of additional dentists graduating every year is 63, but there should be 500. The same condition applies with regard to trained nurses, 90 being turned out each year when 600 are needed. Data collected by the University show that more Negro physicians and dentists are practicing in the cities of Philadelphia, Washington, Cleveland, and Chicago, than in the 16 Southern states combined, where fully 8,000,000 live. Tragic Problem Confronts Woman in Hospital at Cambridge, Mass. How can the relative value of a life be gauged? What are the standards of denial which civilization demands? In Cambridge, Mass., Mrs. Harriet 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. If the child lives, the years will bring the knowledge that it breathes, sees day come, and night depart, feels joys and sorrows at the probable cost of its mother's life. Can any one, with that consciousness find happiness? Chicago women say no. It's the mother's right to live, they claim. "It's an adult's life against that of a child—the socially conscious person will say. Let the mother live," said Mrs. Clarence E. Chadwick. This girl is a potential mother. Her value in that life alone should be the balance weight, and decide the physicians who are faced with the problem." "Save the mother," said Mrs. Alonzo W. Frazier, "A child has not had experience. It has not tasted life, and so nothing is lost. The mother has suffered—she knows life—and has then, therefore, earned the right to live. Another phase of this problem presents a would-be child, after it has reached maturity, be the gift of life from its mother, deprived of her-comradeship? I think not." crises, also declares that the balance crisis, also declares that the balance is in favor of the mother. "A child has less to lose," said this nurse, Miss Ophelia Peterson. "The mother is of value to society; the child is only potentially so. The Excited Relatives Mix NewbornSons Now One Can Tell Which Is Which—Mothers Must Guess Blindly MADRID, Spain, Dec. 27. — A mother and her daughter in the village of Corunna were in travail at the same hour. A mob of relatives from miles around packed the spacious parlor in the two mothers' home. Two doctors rushed out of the inner room simultaneously announcing "It's a boy." The father and grandfather rushed in and returned proudly carrying his newborn grandson, one in each arm. The cheering, gesticulating relatives swarmed around, grabbing the babies. The babies were passed around from one to another while they were kissed and caressed. Hearty toasts were drunk to the babies' health. After 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 between them, neither could the doctor, nor the nurses. When questioned 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 baptize the babies two hours apart. A priest baptized the first, but when the second appeared he protested and filed a complaint before the courts. The babies will never know their 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 relationships is possible. And when the babies get married the tangle will be still greater. Comfortable Shoes! To keep the feet in this condition they must be kept clean, but all the bathing in the world will be of no avail if one's shoes are tight. So above everything else, one must wear shoes that are large enough. Nothing will detract more from a woman's beauty than uncomfortable shoes, for their distress is reflected in her face. It is amazing how many illies are due to shoes that pinch or that have heels too high or badly placed. mother will bear more children, and thus her worth will be many times that of a single child. The mother should be given life. "The mother has become identified with the world in which she lives," said Mrs. Arthur L. Lambert, "a child has not. "The balance is in the mother's favor, and, under the conditions of her illness, the possibility arises that the child already is dead," she continued. "The mother is a social asset; the child is not. And a child reared without a mother is only half a child. The gift of life, given to it by its mother at such cost will not be received happily by the child." The mother is conscious. She knows what her life will mean. She knows that she will literally breathe herself into her child, and cease being then. What will she choose? Wears Same Troussers 60 Years. 'VANDALIA, Mo., Dec. 27—Asa Fowler, 78 years old, of Vandalia, is wearing a pair of trousers that he has had for 60 years, having bought them in Hannibal when he was 18 years old.

And from Logan street to Fifth and Market he revealed in his curbstone comedy, the tale of the low class white passengers enjoyed it, while the majority sat expressionless. Characters of this kind are more in need of missionary influences than the heathens of China or Africa. TOMMY BURKE, the Irish saloon keeper at Fullerton and Wylie, was called from our struggles last week to be questioned by the Supreme Judge. With the passing of Tommy, the pioneer Burkes are no more, and the race is better off. The influences and standards which they represented and foisted upon the young of our group have contributed more and taller climb than that of Ben Tilman, the KKK leader. For twenty years or more the brothers, Martin and Tommy, have been traffickers in liquor and keepers of saloons. Tommy was the most conservative of the two—but his conservatism never included our best interests. He was a careful planner for the Burkes only. Some there be who will lament the death of Thomas Burke, but the best that can be said of him is that he, like any other good gambler, took chances, loaned money on good security and conducted business in our midst for financial advantages and gains—but not for our uplift. He even bucked sentiment to the extent of refusing to employ Negro bartenders when saloons were in demand. The boys of at least two Negro families were thrown into the gutter by the generosity of the Burkes in supplying them with intoxicants, whether they had money or not. This little helpful(7) set made the Burkes a power in the estimation of the creatures who lived each day for the sole purpose of absorbing NINE A new department added to the Feature Section of The Pittsburgh Courier will open the week of January 5.

Of all the money that he accumulated by trading with Negroes, not one dollar was ever used to pit a Negro youth through school or set up some capable Negro in business. No structure that he ever built for Negroes can be referred to in a creditable way. We understand that the sons are to continue the business. If their past records mean anything to the better thinkers of the race we object—and object strenuously. The activities of the Burkes have contributed long enough to our problems. The edict of our better minds says that the business must go, and like the last operator, Thomas Burke, Sr., laid in its last resting place. WITH sport writers all over the country taking a slam at the ban on mixed bouts by our State Boxing Commission, numerous inquiries have been made regarding the Boxing Club which we were to have, promoted by Negroes—and talked about so much during the months of October and November. Cum Posey, George Bowles. Jeani Adams and Tom (Kid) Welch were the original quartet who were to put it over. But as the function, purpose and financial plan became more specific, two members dropped out—and the remaining two are not so sure that they can go through with them. We know Tom Welch and Joan Adams, who understand that Posey scores best by his own plan; and any plan which is not highly flavored with "Posey" can hardly be expected to appeal to him. It also said that George Bowles is one of the "sureup" type—and is for George first, last, always, and a day. Neither of these horses work well in double harness.

Though the two individuals left are of highly co-operation, their horizon, their vision of the horizon, their function, the company of others, functioning unit rather than as the main dogs.

WHEN you say that the Negro should start out for himself," replied Dixon, "it is equivalent to saying here amidst this wealth of development, distilled by the human race from the bitter experiences of thousands of years, he should start in again like a troglodyte. In these days of express trains, should one be compelled to travel in a prairie schooner until he has learnt to build his own railway, while the process that once took centuries can now be consummated in a week? It would be just as logical to ask. What form of training is preferable for white men? As no two men are alike, human intellect cannot be standardized. Any such attempt, besides preventing full attainment, will cause unhappiness, servants, but masters, thus threatening white domination. Booker T. Washington has done more than any other person or agency that I know of toward guiding the feet of the crude, struggling mass of freed men to the first rung of the ladder of progress. It is true that others will have to strive hard to undo the impression he gave of Negro subjuration, yet the blame for this should be placed on the conditions to which he was forced to adopt himself in order to do his work.

I say let everyone, white as well as black, be permitted to pick out his own occupation and follow it without interference. In this way and this way only will the great curse of civilization—uncongenial employment—be removed. "You also spoke of the large number of Negro doctors, lawyers, and preachers, and the relatively small number in the mechanical pursuits. I happen to have the figures here. The census of 1910 shows: White one doctor for every 1123; Negroes one for every 3,195; Negroes white one for every 763; Negroes one for every 12,620. Preachers white, one for every 813; Negroes one for every 650. The answer is that since the Negro has difficulty in getting employment, he has to follow these professions in which he can strike out for himself." "Well, I was right about the preachers, anyway." "Judged by the ratio among the whites you are. I might explain it thus: The Negro's forte is religion. In that field he is more easily exploited than in any other, therefore, the shysters, who among the whites would be lawyers and speculators, among the Negroes simply gravitate to ministry—and to pair and complexion doctoring." The train began to slow down as a lights of a town were visible nearby. "What place is this?" asked the Senator. "Evanston, Wyo." "Evanton, Wyo. "How long do we stay?" "About five minutes.

S.) left the smoker and went out on the vestibule. As Dixon opened the trapdoor a rush of icy air swept in compelling the Senator to button up his overcoat around his neck. "Pretty cold!" he said, hopping around. "It gets a bit cold up here on the mountains. It's about 25 below tonight," d The train stopped and both stepped off into the crisp, midnight air. The Senator saw the sign of the railroad lunch room. "Have we time for a cup of coffee?" he asked, hurriedly. "Yes, sir." "Come along, then," he said, catching the coat sleeve. Dixon left the car in charge of the sleeping car conductor and both men started on a trot over the cracking snow for the lunch room. The Senator ordered coffee and sandwiches for Dixon and himself. After a few mouthfuls the Senator began to look nervously through the window. "We've plenty of time, sir," reassured Dixon, guessing the cause of his anxiety. "See! there's the train conductor just getting his now." When the train started again the passenger followed by Dixon, returned to the smoker. Throwing his hat and overcoat on the seat, the Senator settled himself comfortably in the chair. "Let me see," he said after a few contemplative puffs of his cigar, "we were last speaking of Negro education, weren't we? I—I—" he continued haltingly, as a thought struck him like a dart—he had just become conscious of the fact that he had dined with a Negro! Dixon had been conscious of the incident all along. When the Senator recovered his composure he said: "What do you think of the late leader of your race, Booker T. Washington? I should judge that you are against his policies." "If it is his policy of advocating the surrender of certain rights for progress in other directions that you mean, sir. I am, on conditions, Booker T. Washington has been much blamed, and is still being blamed, for not standing up more firmly for the rights of his people. A book-agent told me that he had difficulty in selling Washington's book among the colored people. Many would-be patrons, he said, refused saying that they did not like the way in which he had bowed to the white man. But even had Booker T. been endowed with an unbending spirit I cannot 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 assertion of Negro rights would, as you know, not only have been resented, but might have been accompanied with serious results. I would have a defiant spirit; we would simply have been no Tuskegee and schools, but still are, a necessity for both white and colored. The majority of any race is fit only for industrial pursuits. This would be particularly true of a people, but recently freed. And humble as was his manner, there were those whites who complained that Tuskegee, with its thoroughness, was making, not EVERY MONTH servants, but masters, thus threatening white domination. Booker T. Washington has done more than any other person or agency that I know of toward guiding the feet of the crude, struggling mass of freed men to the first rung of the ladder of progress. It is true that others will have to strive hard to undo, the impression he gave of Negro subordination, yet the blame for this should be placed on the conditions to which he was forced to adopt himself in order to do his work. "But whatever one may say of his methods no one can impugn the honesty of his motive. This was a genuine desire born of the largeness of his heart to do good. Booker T. Washington built his fame on the surrest of all foundations—unselfish service. Some object that he made a great deal of money. I sincerely hope he did, for I know of no other American who deserve it better than an officer who very few of his cities, blight or white, indeed, few citizens of any country who would not do well to emulate his selfishness, his energy, and his persistence. “And yet, I resent the title that was given him, that of leader of the Negro race. He did not have the spirit of a leader, that is, if Hampden, Toussaint L'Ouverture, George Washington, Pinkney, or Patrick Henry had that spirit. The spirit of surrender so much admired in Booker Washington by many whites is just the opposite of what those same whites would like to see in their people under similar conditions—is just what they have always 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 man, who vised surrender to King George, and remanded loyalty to him during the revolt? War? I think that if slaves had had a spark of self-respect left in them they would have taken everything of value they could have set their hands on, and escaped, sparing no one hindering their flight. The mission of republics 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 Jaw is credited with having a great deal of money, how much real respect has he? I think that one spark of that kingliness of soul which, while respecting superior merit, recognizes no artificial nobility, whether of caste or color, gives more gummie satisfaction than a monkey of a Rockefeller. If the black man ever hopes to gain the respect of the whites he will have to make a determined stand for his rights, regardless of the cost."

In 1868, after 250 years of unpaid toil, if he had received justice, nothing; less than the transference of the entire South into his hands would have been the result." The Senator did not respond. Dixon continued: "A matter of pigment can furnish no excuse for two so diametrically opposed policies in this nation. What is right for one body of citizens living among them and subject to the same laws segregation for any kind is injustice. Why set a man aside if you do not wish to treat him differently? There can no more be to kinds of right," says Huxley, "than there can be two kinds of straight lines. Moreover, this policy of flakiness beld of white men; any other sort of men. If the Negro really wishes to even up scores with the south man—I speak of the South—he should keep on flattering him and thus at one coup undermine both his character and his purse." (To Be Cntinued.) THE DIGEST (Continued From Page 9) ferred—sound, frank, constructive—is just the kind our show people, or any other aspiring class among us, need. They will do well to follow his suggestions or expect consequences which he predicts. HENRY FORD, for months a puzzle to both Democratic and Republican leaders, has lined up for Coolidge. The political weather is faring considerable for the Yankee from Vermont. Ford is reported as saying: I believe it is the wise and natural thing for the people to agree in combination and election of Mr. Coolidge. I am satisfied 90 per cent of the People feel perfectly safe with Coolidge and I feel, too, that the country is perfectly safe with him. And if this is the feeling of the country, why change? The Courier has, since he entered the White House, predicted that Coolidge will win next year. Indications still point that way. Thus far we are quite satisfied with his administration, and believe he will continue to merit our faith. Ford is a strong man. The farmers like him. His influence in behalf of Coolidge bids fair to carry the G. O. P. much further toward a landslide in 1921. "KING GOTTON" is about to lose his crown. The Negro, coming from the South to the North, turned the trick. A report states: Conservative estimates show that a 13,000,000-bale crop will be necessary in 1924 to supply the mill demand up to the harvesting of the 1925 crop. The question now worrying growers, textile men and merchants is whether the South can grow a 13,000,000 bale crop even with prices of the 1923 year have given. There seems every probability that the average planted to cotton next year will be more extensive than in any previous year. It is practically certain, however, that the planting of such an acreage would be followed by a correspondingly large abandonment. For the habitation next year will be one of the most serious which the South has ever faced. It is conservatively estimated that 12 per cent of the Negroes in Georgia left the state this year. This movement has been duplicated in other sections of the South. Even those Negroes who have not left the territory south of the Mason and Dixon line have shown a decided inclination to abandon the country districts for the cities and to work in factories rather than in the fields. And there are those who say the Negro has little influence in this country. That little can be made to treble itself if used in the right direction. The South has had its chance to treat black labor better and failed. Perhaps it was thought the Negro would always remain there, regardless. Not so, however. At another time in the history of America King Cotton thought nothing could supersede him. He thought England would go to smash if his slaves failed to supply British mills, and employ British workmen. But when the Civil War came England turned to India, and Jefferson Davis lost. The same thing is about to happen again. According to a New York Times article we learn: Within the next few months preliminary work will begin on the largest cotton plantation in the world. It will comprise an area of 300,000 acres in the Sudan, and will be operated by an English syndicate known as the Sudan Plantations Syndicate, Ltd. The cotton to be raised there will be of the Egyptian variety, and it is estimated that the plantation will yield an annual crop of about 250,000 bales. For a reorganization of her social and industrial system the South could hold European markets which she will now rose. But here is an example of a problem of limited ideas, and thereby suffering losses which are hard to estimate. 924. A new year is upon us. Now is the time for bridges, vows, resolutions, etc.—most of which will be broken before two weeks. But it is good to make the vows anyway, even if they are broken. (Of course, it is better still if we keep them—good vows). It shows that our hearts are in the right place, that they beat true to progress and reform. A healthy sign. Resolve to quit all bad habits. Plan to "do more in the future than you have in the past" for the betterment of yourself, your community, your race, your country. Just 60 years ago Lincoln gave our fathers and grandfathers the greatest start of all time. In those fleet six decades we have shown that we deserved his gift. Let us continue to fulfill the faith and hope reposed in us by those to whom it was not given to witness the coming true of their prophecy. RVING S. COBB of Paducah, Kentucky is a journalist, novelist and short-story writer of wido reputation. He has written some delightful tales of colored characters. But true to his Southern upbringing he at bottom despises the Negro. We mean he despises him when he tries to be somebody. So long as the black man is content to be Jeff, personal servant of old Judge Friest, Cobb delights in him. But when he becomes educated, and demands decent treatment, Cobb calls him "uppity." In a recent number of Hearst's International magazine, in an article on Indiana, Cobb said: About Indianapolis there is yet another significant thing which I have noticed. Those among her people who display the least amount of social consideration in their efforts to obtain social consideration from others—and in such matters, say, as passage room on the sidewalk, a seat in the street car, precedence at the polling place—in short, those who are more rudeness and arrogance upon their desire for equality of treatment—are mainly not the foreign-born or the children of the foreign-born, as in some cities, but the native-born. True, these persons usually are black folk—Negro or Negroid, and largely recruited from states below Mason and Dixon's Line. But there is less of race friction here than one might expect. The white citizen, while lacking the Southerner's touchiness on race contacts—a desire to win the colored brother's vote in elections may be at the back of this unresentful attitude on his part—has somewhat of the well-bred Southerner's tolerance for the other race's frequently un- SATURDAY, DECEMBER friendly modes of expressing its social ambitions. Like the Southerner, he doesn't expect a complete understanding of all the subtler shades of Caucasian ethics from a people whose great-grand-daddies came on a slave-chain out of an African jungle. He carries in his autogenesis more the generosity that it has been but the jump of a few generations from the head-hunter to the head-waiter. Now, we wouldn't take exception to the first part of the criticism if we didn't know just what Cobb was after. It is always his aim to keep the Negro "in his place," as he plainly said in his article on Kentucky some time ago. Because of this tendency Cobb is dangerous in literature. Many people would read and laugh over his stories unsuspectingly, if he didn't at all times manage to get in this slight coloration. This attitude is not only detrimental to the Negro, but foreigners as well. In his article on New York he was particularly insulting. Again he said of Indiana: She is not content to borrow the makings of such intellectual standards and such literary ideals as she has—and they are high ones—from the spaghettified infant prodigies of Greenwich Village and Sheridan Square in New York, nor yet from the Russo-Soviet German school of Chicago, with its airy of infallibility and its garlicky breath. But Cobb will learn. Tom Taggart of French Lick, or ex-Senator Beverage could tell him much of colored Hoosiers. AL SMITH, Democratic Governor of the State of New York, is a self-made man. He came up from the Fulfon fish market, on New York City's Bowery, one of the poorest and most dejected parts of the world's wonder city. He didn't even get a high school education, yet to distinguished Republican leader and international lawyer as Elihu Root paid a special tribute to his worth as a statesman and executive. Emith is admired by many Negroes throughout the country, irrespective of party allegiance or affiliations. Speaking to an audience of colored Harlemites in the Metropolitan Baptist Church Smith is reported as saying: "If your relatives in the South want to come to the North and will be clean living, hard-working members of society as you are, we will be glad to have them." 1 Not only is this encouraging, but Emmy Stale, without the color, of O --- politics, it is particularly important and commendable.

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.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 27.—Cut off by a fire that swept through the ground floor, eleven occupants of a three-story house at Aspen and Lex streets, were forced to jump for their lives from a third floor window.

The other victims were Levi Lest, Roseville and Theodore Jackson, George Best, Alonzo Roll, Dora and Helen Jackson and Mr. and Mrs. George Adams. The blaze was discovered in a bakery on the ground floor by a milk man, who sounded the alarm and then attempted to awaken the occupants. After throwing stones through the upper windows, he succeeded in awakening a woman, who surrounded the rest.

But the young man, whose father is the Rev. Daniel McCoy of Iola Baptist Church, Etta, Ga., shook his hair. "Not until I make a fortune," he said and told Detective Joseph Douglas the same thing. McCoy is living at 700 Fairmount avenue, and is still waiting for the job that will bring his fortune with it.

Humanity at best is fault- and we should, whole, hearted and conscientious in our attention of all men. In all ordinary relations of life we are divided into classes. We have the business, social, political and religious classifications, but when we are members of a great fraternal organization, we are all one, there is no distinction between the classes because all belong to the same fraternal circles. Fraternalism brings men to the plane where all are equal, and that is as it should be, for even in death we are equal, everything in this world counts for naught when death overtakes us, and fraternalism is the greatest medium of bringing men together on the same plane. When we leave this place and agree to the greatest message of all—Peace on Earth and good, will toward all men. In last week's Courier appeared a long list of donors to the Colemand Hom, both money and food given by individuals as well as organizations, it stated that the Shriners (white) were going to give a present to each charge there, and that they had furnished turkey for the inmates. Oh. boy! Now Mansons, Elks, Odd Fellows and other fraternal societies, what did you give? Eh? Did you hear me? Notice to K. of P.'s Col. Wm. Tibla has been authorized by J. L. W. V. Washington, S. R.

Say, Elks, Masonies, Odd Fellow, Pythians, as well as other secret organizations of this vicinity—did you do the same? A letter to the editor of this column coming from P. E. R., A. J.

Oh, for that spirit in Pittsburgh—but nil My Circular Letter Four Years Ago I have to call your attention to the fact that these headquarters received more than three hundred orders for Coat of Arms and Collar Ornaments within sixty days of the date of the encampment. It is impossible to fill all of these orders for the reason that our limited supply of Coat of Arms was exhausted within 30 days, and it is impossible to secure new shipment inside of sixty days. We, therefore, could order Coat of Arms on days when you waited two years to order them. Again for the information of all officers and Sir Knights, Collar Ornaments (cross swords) are made to order and we can not secure them under two weeks' delivery. We could not fill some one hundred orders in the time you desired them. The plain FREE—Your Horoscope—FREE Also a little book entitled "How to Get What You Want," and a Star Incense Burning Plate.

The editor of this column extends thanks to those persons who have helped in the building up this particular section. It has enhanced the sale of this paper a hundred fold. The management of the paper appreciates this, highly. It has been asked time and again for the secretaries of the several fraternal organizations to send in their news papers and nobly; others, it is feared, have conscientious scruples against one who probably belong to this paper, but should not keep them from sending in their notes. The Fraternal Editor has been fair and impartial in dealing with his fraternal brothers as well as sisters, and is at all times ready to print any news items of importance pertaining to any organization, fraternal organization, or at the time it is sent. At times we have been crowded for space owing to a large amount of advertisements. I think the fraternal notes have done some good, notably among these is the advocacy of a home for indigent Elks which I have fought ever since I started to write this column and which was agreed to at the last Grand Lodge meeting in bringing any important notes of any secret organization, it was because the news was not sent to me. So, I join with the editor and management of The Pittsburgh Courier in thanking all who helped to make this page a success during the year of 1923 a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I invite all fraternal organizations to the use of this column. U. S. COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC BE A CHIROPRACTOR!

Lynch deserted his wife more than a year ago in Kankakee, Ill., where he was pastor, of the First Christian Church and eloped with Miss Ollie Stephens, a chair singer. With this young lady the evangelist preached through the estates of Oklahoma and Texas and then married the singer in the state. He was mother of the weeks-old baby. While the preacher admits that he has done wrong, the wife sits along in her lodging house and wonder what will become of her and the baby. Church Notes Rev. A. L.

JOYZONE Red Tonic --- NEW YORK, Dec. 27—A "policy bank" was unearthened in the heart of Harlem when detectives hid themselves in Madam Clark's apartment at 101 West 143d street and captured six prisoners, thousands of policy slips and records, and nearly $1,000 in cash. The raid was the most sensational ever staged in the headquarters of a powerful drug ring that has clued officers for several months. The prisoners captured were Genevieve Cobb, an eleven-year-old The growth of the Strait-Tex Chemical Company during the past year has compelled the company to enlarge its manufacturing facilities to take care of the increasing demand for its products. The concern now has agents and representatives in every state in the union and several foreign countries handling its eleven Strait-Tex and Bronze Beauty line of hair and toilet preparations. The company recently leased for a term of years the existing brick building joining its present plant and now has ample room for the manufacture of its products. Miss Jennie M.

Box 47 Hamilton Grange Station New York City FOR PRESIDENT, IN 1924, CALVIN COOLIDGE FOURTEEN Foreign Advertising Representative, W. 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 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. In a page of matter on the xoe murders, The Pittsburgh Sunday Press has written a most ugly story, picturing the Birmingham Negroes as a peop-cunning, vicious and without human respect. The story gives a picture of a dangerous looking man and calls him a Birmingham Negro of the same age as the other men. The story is not a story, but a story, and the story is not the story of the people who have perpetrated against the better element of Negro people in Birmingham than this one. The better element of Negroes are as much distra- lized over these conditions as any other people in the city, or state. This element of Negroes represent some of the best citizenry of the city and not only of the people who are the best citizens of the city but of the city's in-situ and to-foul them in-situ such a fashion as The Pittsburgh Sunday Press is done should bring response from every self-respecting Negro of the same age, and arouse the feeling of our white citizens and other daily publics as well as the people of the city. This Pittsburgh Sunday Press article is without reason or conscientiousness to condemn without the facts and villifies a race about a crime. It cannot be proven against it. The Sunday Press goes far in this case. The Sunday Press in this same story states or infers that the murderers would have been captured and brought to trial if the murderers had been of a higher class, but the victims were of the poor and not of the poor. The murderers and for that reason the murderers go on with their savage undisturbed. The Sunday Press evidently knew better than what it seemed to be. It could not have meant such an assertion without sepulses. The murderers did not have any right to say that the murderers had a right to be the city's most important city. It must more and gone, further to reach the source of a crime. Birmingham has gone in this matter. We cannot conceive of our being in this matter. The城市 is not a city, but a city. It may be the city, but it may be the murderers. The murderers have murdered out-going and giving no attention to it or insufficient attention because the victims happened to be poor and defenseless. As a result of the murderers' actions, the城市 is not a city. The城市 is not a city. The城市 is not a city. The城市 is not a city.

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.

We are not the only states all lines. As matter of fact, the Negroes in Birmingham, according to their number, represent as fine a character and ruling citizenship as any other race group within our community or our country. The relation of the races here is mutual, sympathetic and because of this co-operation success is being attained from all our daily press should not be idle in the disenclosure of such a soul upon the Negroes of Birmingham and upon Birmingham generally expressed in The Pittsburgh Sunday Press.

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.
