Sherwood Eddy opened the annual all-university religious conference at the student convocation last week in Lathrop hall. "Of all the 22 countries I have no reason to my recent world tour, no country has shown more color, more race prejudice and more mistreatment of the men of darker races than we have here in the United States," Dr. Eddy declared. "There is more lynching here than in all the rest of the world, we have savaged two lynchings a week. On this campus, students use terms of contempt as nigger, chinch, jap, dago. "I was safer in the streets of Russia without government guards than in some district of Chicago and New York city. The men are exhibited to me. I was never free to go as I pleased," he asserted. "Students who swallow such false material on the Soviet as a booklet, 'Russia, the White Slave of the World,' are accepting without question me. I am not a slave," Dr. Eddy pointed out on the subject of the reported nationalization of women in Russia. In Europe as in the other countries of the world, Dr. Eddy said that, the people of the world were in the mistress of the old order that had brought up militarism, war and hardships.

Johnson and some of his associates at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, D. C., and the cause of our disagreement was NOT, as he claims, that Tuskegee appalled at the Johnson attack, but it was because of the arrangement of personnel which Col. Johnson had selected to head the hospital. "On the occasion of one of my visits to Washington last April, I dropped into his office, and to my attention Johnson had just submitted to President Harding a personnel program which included the appointment of John T.

Dr.J.H.Ward Arrives To Take Charge White Personnel's Departure Follows Order From Headquarters—Believed Result of Protest. TUSKEEGE, Ala., March 6 —The Veterans' Bureau has ordered the white personnel at the Veterans' Hospital here to vacate their quarters and move into the court of Tuskegee. The orders followed the arrival of Dr. Joseph H. Ward, chief of the surgical department, the highest commissioned medical officer during the hospital, and the institute community in extending Dr. Ward a cordial welcome. Dr. Ward expressed satisfaction over the order. Attaches at the hospital made no comment on the removal of the white personnel to the town of Tuskegee, although the news seemed to fairly breathe in relief from the tension of the housing situation. Almost immediately the colored personnel began making preparations to move into the beautiful cottages with their lovely flower gardens, patches of flourishing vegetables, narrow walks and old-fashioned fences. And these cottages were built by Negro labors skilled in carpentry, training school, which gives a daily shower if inspiring influence to the villager who lives in the shadow of its picturesque buildings. All talk of poor living conditions for the colored staff is tabooed, it is believed. It was learned today that the white personnel had "folded their tents," and taken up quarters in Tuscaloosa, where they were hospital. There was no _comment from their ranks, save the sadness of the decree to "move." It is not believed that they were aware of the _persistent effort to give the Negro medical attaches the power to administer rea's action was no doubt due to the storm of protest registered by Negro citizens the country over.

(Special Correspondence) CHARLOTTE, M. C., Mar. G.—Breaking a rigid Southern tradition that no Negro shall appear before a white female audience in any representative capacity, Charles Satechell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Virginia, the famiies colored journalist and orator, was invited to address the students of the Flora McDonald College, at Red Springs, North Carolina, on Friday morning. The institution is the leading school of the Scotch Presbyterians, in the South, its attendants numbering hundreds, coming from every state in this section. The noted orator spoke to a vast throng in the city on Thursday night, at which time several members of the faculty as well as a large number of the young women heard him, as a result of which he was tendered the invitation to speak at the girls' seminary. He was cordially received by the student body when he stepped upon the platform adequately, introduced by the president. He held the students spellbound by his wit and humor, his logic and his fervent appeals for "my struggling, aspiring, hopeful, race," couched in brilliant language. The speaker declared: "The Negro in the South is the acid test of the courage and the Christianity of the American white man. In proportion as my weak and often times defenseless race is accorded just and equitable treatment here in Dixie, will the dominant group succeed not only in the marts of peace and commerce, but in the grander realm of human service. I appeal to this magnificent group of the queenly daughters of the South, the linear descendants of its idols, to let no color blind your eyes to truth, or hatred steel your heart to action. The fallacious doctrine that might makes right must be supplanted by the gospel of the winged Prince of Peace that right makes might, and truth is God." He was tended a great reception at the conclusion of his speech, many showers, upon him the warmest congratulations. Young Morris spoke to a record crowd of more than 3,000 persons of both races in Columbia, South Carolina, last Monday night, at the end of his whirlwind trip through the South.

After the smoke from the revolvers had cleared away and the ambulance doctors began to mop up the blood and take count of the casualties, it was discovered that James Robinson, 20, of 18 West One Hundred and Thirty-seventh street, was suffering and bleeding from a wound inflicted by an officers pistol in the left arm, Patrolman Tom Mullens of the Thirty-eighth Police Precinct, had been severely stabbed.

When they surprised a gang of two jimmying a door near One Hundred and Forty-fifth street and Seventh avenue, they little thought that they would have to contest with more than these. The firing had no more than begun before the officers discovered that three others of the gangsters had fraped from their hiding places and turned upon them. They were really encamped and had to make the best of it. Colored society women starting to the Lafayette theater midnight performances sought shelter in their automobiles while others, screaming, ran into hallways. Detectives McFarland and Butler and others who happened to be in the neighborhood, bent on some hunt, jumped from their automobiles and took place in the little war. It was the beginning of the time that Officer Robinson was stebled in the back, but he stopped his duty until weakened by the loss of blood. Captain Scheanich of the Thirty-eighth Detective Bureau complimented his men when they returned bleeding from wounds with the prisoners. He took occasion to tell the newspapermen that "While I am up-town here these colored people are going to be protected."

Dr. Crossland Resigns From Hospital Job Stormy Career of Bureau Employee, in Which Love Escapades Played Prominent Part, Ended. WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 6.—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St. Joseph Mo., is no longer in the Government employ. His resignation became effective February 15, it was announced today at the Veterans Bureau. Stormy Career. The Veterans' Bureau would give no definite information as to the reasons for the resignation; but it is generally understood that Director General F. T. Hines, requested it because of the trouble and annoyance the doctor caused him, not only at the hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, but while he had offices in the bureau and was the technical assistant in charge of colored trainees. Since his appointment Dr. Crossland has had a stormy career. His troubles began when he became involved in a love scandal with a Chicago courts. Complaints were filed with the Veterans' Bureau, by the heads of schools he visited on official business alleging that he had talked over the long distance to a person in Chicago and had failed to pay the telephone charges. Always he was able to give an explanation satisfactory to the officials of the Veterans' Bureau and extricate himself from any serious consequences. Connived. At the completion of the United States hospital at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, the doctor became ambitious and sought to become either the commanding or executive officer. It is alleged that in his efforts to the effect his plans in this regard, he connived at the abolishment of his office in the Veterans' Bureau and agreed with Director Hines to work on a "60-50 basis" with any white man the director might send there. Dr. Crossland was then sent to three of the leading United States hospitals where he especially prepared himself to become the executive officer of the Tuskegee hospital. After three months preparation he was transferred to Tuskegee. It is charged that he plotted the removal of Major Charles M. Griffith, the commanding officer, in order to have Major Johnson, the executive officer promoted to commanding officer and he himself made the executive officer. Charges of sanding out false information in regard to conditions at the hospital, of inciting race hatred in the Tuskegee community, and divers other things were preferred against him. Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, wired that his removal was necessary. On January 18, he was ordered to proceed immediately to Washington and report to the director for further assignment. His immediate dismissal was recommended but it was agreed that he should be permitted to continue until February 15. In the meantime he submitted his resignation to prevent his dismissal. Wrote Too Much. The doctor's uncontrollable habit of writing promiscuously led to his forced resignation, his friends believe. First a number of his love letters fell into the hands of persons who gave them to the press. Then, when he went to Tuskegee he kept up his letter writing, although the men who were seeking his undoing were carrying copies of them around in his pocket. He was charged with being the author of an anonymous letter to Hiram Johnson telling him to have his campaign manager, Frank Hitchock, to call on Dr. Crossland if he desired to secure the Negro vote.

Officials Of Mississippi ife Refuse To Turn Over Business to White Concern MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 6—"The Mississippi Life Insurance Company presents 15 years of hard labor, of pooled en- largement and devotion for the colored people in the South," imaged George W. Lee, vice president of the company, in a imaged spirited speech of protest against the sale of the Human E. Perry to the Southern Life Insurance concern. fiers against their seizure of the colored corporation. Speaking further against the deal, Mr. Lee said: "The white South is going to have a hard time explaining to the world just why they are making efforts to take from the heart of the Negro people one of the biggest insurance companies that they have, when there is all the capital necessary within the Negro race to fulfill the demands of this company's continued existence as a colored institution. We have gathered here today not to temporize or mince our words; nor to make you believe that if you win this case in the courts, we are going to continue in your employ. This thing either belongs to you or it belongs to us. If you get it we want no part of it. If we get it we will close ranks and hold what we have got." It was built upon the blood and sweat money of the women from the wash tubs, the men from the farms, the anvils and the forge. It has established a brand of efficiency that represents the highest expression of a struggling people, who stand trembling on the borders of the economic universe and are looking to this and similar institutions to establish the trade mark of Negro competency.

The Negroes everywhere are believing that this is a well-founded plan on the part of white men of the South to exterminate the Negro in an economic way.

And now, when we build an institution, that is a credit to the race you conspire to take it by her force and influence.

The white company has been restrained temporarily from taking active control of the colored concern by an injunction which will be heard on March 10. The Mississippi Life was recently sold to the Service Company, of which Heman Perry is president, an Atalanta, Ga., concern.

PRIZE BEAUTY'S HUSBAND .KILLS ACTOR IN LOVE-FEUD (Continued from Page 1) Shields was popular for her unusual dash and attraticiveness. Possessed of the appearance of the modern vampire, her alleged unfaithfulness, has long been the talk of the town, it is said. Only a few days before the fatal affair, Adams had interfered when her husband attempted to reprimand her about her manner of living. It is said that Shields had not lived with his wife for several days. The dapper, suave, well-groomed Adams was a personal friend of Shields, who was regularly employed as a bartender in the Lafayette cafe, 132nd street and Seventh avenue. The avenue and the neighborhood in which the tragedy occurred is mostly populated by whites, it is reported. Very recently a number of disreputable white women were taken in a raid on the adjoining building, it is said. Claimed Body. Claimed body. The authorities expressed astonishment today when Mrs. Shields claimed the body of her late lover, after the wife of the dead man refused to call at the morgue. The time limit would have expired and Adams would have been buried in Potters Field, had not the Shields woman consented to give the body a Christian burial. She called at the morgue, it is said, and arranged to have the body taken to the Paris undertaking parlors and prepared for burial, paying for the same out of her own funds. She also arranged to have the body shipped to Adams' sister in Indiann, when Mrs. Adams demanded the body, saying she would reimburse Mrs. Shields for the expense she had undergone. It is said Mrs. Adams paid the money, and that the funeral services held Saturday were under her direction. A notice was posted prohibiting anyone from viewing the remains. Denies She is Woman. In an attempt to interview Mrs. Shields at her St. Nicholas avenue apartment, she declared to a Pittsburgh Courier reporter, she was not the "woman." Shields' hearing will come up Thursday, the 6th. DEMAND THAT DURKEE BE OUSTED AT HOWARD (Continued from Page i) he virtually disclaimed all leadership in the night. In support of their charge, they quote the following words, which may go down in administrative history as a "prize horror." This statement, "The lid is off; go to it," spoken by the president on Thursday afternoon at a special meeting of the administration, after the $500,000 appropriation item had been ruled out of the Senate on a point of order, was the signal for others to take the initiative. Ask Durkee's Dismissal. So enraged are alumni from different sections of the country, that many are demanding the resignation of Dr. Durkee from Howard University "for the good of the race." They base their demand on a number of facts of rather startling significance, which have happened at the school within the last few years. They cite his rather distant and not altogether friendly action with the deans of the school, his "bluff" action following the students' strike of several years ago, when he stated that either the president A LUCKY Mystic Ring A beautiful Egyptian Ring made of Sterling Silver of unique design with a spherical center with a gorgeous Pharaoh fatha and Emerald.

Y. of the Student Council or he would leave the university, and last his excuses to congress following the discovery of socialistic literature in the library of the school. They further cite that all of the courses in the school catalog are not taught, and say that Dr. Durkee is directly responsible for the failure to bring up the curriculum of the school to the standard. Kelly Miller's Note. Kelly Miller's note to Senator Smoot was to the purport that in case it seemed that the $500,000 item would jeopardize the normal appropriation to Howard University, it might be well not to insist upon its inclusion. This is exactly what the president had said himself. This memorandum was left upon the Senator's desk Saturday morning, owing to Professor Miller's inability to see Smoot. Monday, Senator Smoot submitted the letter to Senators Lodge and Lenroot and it was then read upon the floor of the Senate. This necessitated considerable confusion, and when President Durkee was communicated with, he announced that no one had been authorized to write such a note and that the statement contained in it did not in any way represent the attitude of the university toward the items. In refutation of this statement Dean Miller, in a lengthy reply, quotes the following from the Record of the Senate Hearings committee: "Senator Smoot — You want the amount restored which the House Committee recommended. "President Durkee—Just restored, sir. We are not asking anything more." The appropriation, as introduced under the Interior Department appropriations, was for $870,000, $500,000 of which was for the Medical Department. In the House, on a point of order, the item of $207,000. was stricken out, and that is what those representing the university were interested in. In commenting on the note to Senator Smoot, Dean Miller said: ator Smoot, Dean Miller said: "The memorandum was signed in my name without any title or description whatsoever. This expressed the combined judgment of every member of the faculty and of the administration whom I had consulted up to that time. I then went to Senator Philips office, where I learned that the item would be fought vigorously on the floor of the Senate. I then saw Senator Curtis, the "whip" of the Senate, who explained his negative vote on Thursday and stated that he would push the $500,000 item vigorously unless it might seem to jeopardize the regular and normal university appropriations at which point he would withdraw it. This was the accepted opinion of all of us. "I might add that up to Saturday morning I had kept in close touch with the administration and members of the faculty, all of whom at that time, had given up hope of the $500,000 item. No one at that time could foresee or predict that it would be forced through the Senate as a matter of political expediency. "For three days I camped on the flanks of the Senate." In closing, he says: "I deeply regret, however, that as often happens, service is required with criticism." It is hinted that as the aftermath of the affair, conferences are now being held at the school, and that possibly several resignations may be asked for. Many are of the opinion that Dr. Durkee's interest in Howard could be expressed with less possibility of friction. and his associates at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue. "Two days later I talked with Mr. Perry Howard, C.L. Johnson's associate, and told him frankly that I could not endorse and support such a program and gave him my reasons. It was Dr. Moton's thought that the National Medical Association was the proper organization in our group to recommend physicians for this hospital. It shared Dr. Moton's opinion and acted accordingly. "Although I had been to the White House several times before, it is true that immediately after my disagreement with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Howard that some influence was brought to hear to keep me from seeing Mr. Christian at the White House, and that I had to secure a letter of introduction from Chief APEX PRODUCTS The World's best Hair Preparations AGENTS WANTED MAKE ALL OFFER RIGHT FOR THE APEX HAIR CO.

Johnson accuses me of having shown a letter of his to Chief Justice Taft. I did not show any letter of any kind to the Chief Justice the day I interviewed him and I can prove it, nor have I shown or spent to him any letter since then. The charge that I dictated a letter in his office is also a misstatement of facts. I have never dictated a letter of any kind to any stenographer employed in Col. Johnson's office, and the only letter he wrote to Dr. Moton on the subject of the hospital was written of his own free will and accord, and that letter was then and is now in our files at Tuskegee Institute. Following the idea that the selection of physicians for the Government Hospital was a matter for the National Medical Association to handle, I met, during the spring and summer of 1923, a number of officials of the National Medical Association, including Dr. M. O. Dumas of Washington, and Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, and I do not believe any of these gentiemen would accuse me of double dealing and trickery. It is possible that in facing many delicate and unexpected situations I may have made some mistakes, but I honestly tried to serve a righteous cause in an honorable way.

RE-OPEN FIGHT TO HAVE COHEN AS CONTROLLER rejected by an almost solid line-up of Democrats strengthened by insurgent Republicans. When Senator Brookheart. Republican, of Iowa, was asked concerning an unofficial report of the executive session that his position against Cohen had brought him support for the chairmanship of the special committee to investigate Attorney General Daugherty, he replied that he never discusses executive business and was in favor of abolishing executive session. He added, "I don't make deals with anybody." The rollcall on Cohen's rejection has not been made public and a pending resolution by Senator Jones. Republican, of Washington, to put the thing in the open by publishing the votes has threatened a new complication. Democrats charge privately that Republicans fighting for Cohen's confirmation are acting with regard to the Negro vote in the northern states, and in turn the Republican charge the Democrats opposing Cohen with race prejudice. There is another charge that various senators, not wishing to become involved, absented themselves at voting time. Lenten services-will be held at St. Augustine Chapel Mission, 614 Parmley lane.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Rich and Meritorious Display Of Local Talent In "Everywoman [Pictorial portrait of a woman] Human history and experience have taught us that many persons believe that a head of naturally long and beautiful hair, a healthy scalp and a lovely smooth complexion come from luck, but they do not. Constant care and the frequent use of preparations of proven merit are the secrets. : The beautiful play, "Everywoman," to be staged at Schenley High School March 14, will give a rich and meritorious display of local talent under the directorship of Mrs. Venzella Jones. In discussing the rehearsals, Mrs. Jones said: . "The work is fascinating—discovering, and developing latent talent, bringing it before the public! But it is worth all the time and energy one puts forth." Mrs. Jones discusses the capabilities of several participants: "Miss Dorothy Fisher is an aesthetic dancer of rare charm. This is her first attempt at the drama, her interpretations are amenable. Will Gibson is perhaps better known in musical circles, but his connection with the Golden Leaf Dramatic Club has given him a taste of the art. As "Nobody" he will play a most important part in "Everywoman." "One of the most impressive interpretations will be that of "Truth" by Mrs. Nettie Spangler. Mrs. Spangler has a prophetic voice and bearing which gives life to the part "Youth" and "Beauty," portrayed by Martha Burleigh and Lillian Storgle, respectively, are adorable. Marion Lee as "Puff"; Carl Davis is "Bluff"; Charles Gainey, as "Stuff"; Harry Behannon, as "Lord Wittless" and Elmer Stevenson as "Wealth" are well done. "Passion" is subtly portrayed by George Boswell, while Mrs. Bertha Glover is a convincing "Conscience." There are 48 characters in the cast, including the several choruses.

Reading by Mrs. Iona Out-Of-Town Society Alpa Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity set a sorial precedent at Howard University on Friday evening, February 29, by holding its annual ball in the new two hundred and one thousand dollar university dining room. In order to lend the proper dignity to academic sir to the university, affair it should be given under the shadow of the university. The university heads highly favored the idea and offered further to advance the plan. The idea of giving fraternity affairs away from the campus sets aside the fact that such organizations were born in the colleges and for the most part nourished there. Therefore, in order to maintain this bond of affiliation Phi Beta Sigma and her guests gathered beneath the roof of the beautiful dining hall and danced to the strains of "Smith's Imperial Band" until 1:30 a. m. The scheme of the decorations was that of a Venetian garden. Ferns, palms, various kinds of green plants, blue and white crepe paper (the fraternity's colors) and numerous banners and pennants were so arranged 'as to bring out the desired effect. From the west balcony an immense spotlight producing every color of the rainbow, set between two large blue and white rectangular lights, played upon the gay throng as mellow as moonlight. Upon the east wall was set the fraternity pin with a gold background, in which were set 12 white frosted electric bulbs as pearls, giving an exact duplication of the pin itself. All the lights were extinguished at intervals to allow the electric pin to blaze forth in all its beauty and splendor. At 11:30 five hundred balloons filled with an odorless and harmless gas, a late French invention, were let loose simultaneously, which floated amlessly through the breeze. Confetti and serpentine thrown hither and thither amidst the shower of lights and balloons gave a splendid appearance of the Venetian gardens of old. The beautiful gowns blended perfectly with the soft mellow lights of many hues that danced merrily upon them as the dancers swayed lightly as with fantastic toes. The whole thing made one think he was dancing in a land of fairies and dreams. Caterers served punch from the Orient to keep the Venetians fresh of body and light of foot. During intermission three photographers "boomed" away with a flashlight picture, catching everyone smiling and by surprise. Ice cream a la Sigma and Alpha dainties were served and dancing resumed until 1:30. Proud were we to have with us our national president, Professor John W. Woodhous of Baltimore. Brother A. L. Taylor of Washington, our national secretary, too, joined us in our hour of mirth. Our honorary brothers present were: Doctors Thomas W. Turner, Edward P. Davis and M. T. Walker, Professors M. T. Lochard, T. Montgomery Gregory, G. Smith Wormley and Rev. J. M. Pace, the latter paying his respects as a veteran Sigma man. The honored guests included Dr. E. L.

The presidents of Alpha Phi Alpa, Kappa Albih Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Chi Delta Mu, Cusp and Crown and Tau Delta Sigma fraternities and of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, Epsilon Sigma Iota and Rho Phi Phi Sororities were our special guests.

Mirie Valeria Mills of Philadelphia, Miss Jannita Sanson of New York and Miss Talmadge E. Henderson of Pittsburgh. The out-of-town brothers were Professor Emmett D. Preston of Richmond, T. O.

The Findings Committee was led by Lois Pickle Heynal Hall in Jasmin and included Alexandra Alexander, and Emilie Akins, Eustein, Marilyn M. Jeger, Robert Nelson and the e. M. A. Tait. The findings actually involve all concrete receptions caused by speakers at conference and the recommendada of the health recommendations indicated the following: Employment policies nurses and social workers are applicable, without, even reserving the services of people to members of their own establishment of more or more colored districts; attention to the state of public health in migrants shall be immediately upon arrival in the state; increased pressure on hospitals; use by citizens of the state of all medical state-supporting institutions new existing in *in order not to overuse application of effort and undiscrimination to taxpayers*; public policy among the race of remote health measures; greater ease of race charities in health and fire activities opportunities for Don't Let yet we dread to enter; that we are surrounded with the (so-called dead) in a state commensurate with their development; that we communicate therewith, establish personal identity, in the phenomena.

Recommendations relating to dependency problems proposed that a survey be made of the field of child dependency with a view of erection of a home for border-line children and first-class family homes for training dependent children; that steps be taken to make it possible to keep more children in their own homes and that a home be erected in Pittsburgh for destitute men and another home in the same city for fallen or wayward girls and women. Community plans recommended were that children be educated regarding inter-racial facts through distribution of proper literature in school, a co-ordinating program to be established by the states, to reach all agencies serving Negroes so that any community may have at its disposal, the services of all such agencies in the states established by all centers of Negro population to co-ordinate local agencies and to work for assimilation of the Negro masses; that Negro labor be diffused throughout the State by aid of the Department of Labor or other departments, and that greater emphasis be placed on the assimilation of the Negro masses, with a special program in each center of Negro population on a scale similar to the Americanization program among the foreign born. The committee recommended that a proposed survey of welfare conditions among Negroes in Pennsylvania be undertaken and completed at the earliest possible date and that it be followed by a constructive state program.

Watchman Averts Big Whiskey Haul The vigilance of Timothy Willis, watchman for the W. J. Glimore Wholesale Drug Company last Wednesday, thwarted what is believed to have been an attempt at a wholesale whiskey robbery early Wednesday morning, according to J. B. McCormick, manager of the firm. While making his rounds of the building Timothy Willis, who has been employed for more than 20 years as a night custodian of the establishment, discovered fresh snow prints in the shipping room on the first floor. Knowing that no other person had a right to be in the building at that time and suspecting robbers, Willis telephoned to McCormick at his home, and to police officers. The robbers had cut the burglar alarm wires and had jimmed the windows to gain entrance into the building. The watchman was able to detain the intruder until the arrival of the police.

In front of the house people from several blocks had gathered to see what was happening. People alighted from street cars to see what the trouble was. The matron followed the cops to the door and there he pulled out a large basket of home-made bread for the boys, which had been sent up from the food show.

Never has Elkdom shown to better advantage. This old stately mansion, I dare say, has never had such an inspiring, jolly, good-natured crowd since built by their former owners. It has everything that that goes to make an ideal home such as no one could be ashamed of.

Much praise can be given to the untiring efforts of the committee who was in charge, for they did things well. While we give praise to G. E. K. Hon J.

(By Special Correspondent) With the baseball season fast approaching, players East and West are getting ready to answer the call to the diamond. Although there are quite a few players from different team, new playing in Cuba, California and Palm Beach, Andrew Ruble Foster and his American Giants were the first to grab their bat bags and sink cases and hike to the sunny south for their initial limbering up. The club in charge of Capitol Demos, leaving for Houston, Texas, where they will be joined by Coach Manager, Foster, who has been in Hot Springs for about three weeks. According to reports, other clubs will go into spring training about This is sure to be a banner year for football among our group, barring few exceptions. In my travels from the west to the east the past month, and stopping at various points en route, there are seemingly many complexing problems confronting both sections. At the same time, they are of such trial matters, at present, that with the smallest amount of precaution, can be very easily remedied. The acquisition of Birmingham is sure to help in clubs going there, the past season, report reaping a harvest. St. Louis is bound to be unrestrained and the Hot Tamale team-bring over a club just a trifle better than the one which made the trip the past season, things will wax warm in the Western circuit the coming season. The East At Pittsburgh, there seems to be a plan on foot to have the strongest team outside of the organized ranks, one that holds fair to beat anything in the East or West. This team is augmented by Beckwith, of American Giant, Dismukes and Williams of A. B. C. and the pick of the surrounding district. There are quite a few new managers in the east. Some of the fans put up a bowl when the veteran Joe Williams was rephed by Gans, but Keenan evidently stuck to his cars, as the last report has Williams signed with a club other than the Lincoln. If Holland and Dave Brown can deliver for the Lincoln as they are doing in Cuba the Lincoln should make things hot for the Hildaleids, last year perennial winners. Warfield seems to have been as Popular as the Veteran Lloyd in and around the city of "brotherly love" as his selection as Lloyd's successor, met with approval of all the fans in general. From what we learned at Philadelphia, Markey will be shifted from behind the bat to the vacancy BM by the release of Lloyd. We could gather very little news about the Royals, as the Lincoln Giants' little scrap had about monopolize the baseball gossip rather than that first baseball Douglas will again announce the club. De Taylor after many reverses at Washington, has been admitted to the bench and will be in a position to offer the fans at Washington once his class attraction, the Jack Nicklaus game, is attended. He got to offer the fans there the past season. Walt is varied experience. Typhoon could be able to put a team up to field in to cope with any club he location.

C., March 6—"Pop" Watkins, manager of the Havana Red Sox of Northern New York, and one of the most historic diamond figures in the country, died here last Friday morning. Watkins came South in November and had planned to leave for Watertown, N. Y., with his club in April. He had been in failing health for several months, "Pop," as he was called everywhere, caught for the Original Cuban Grants for 15 years, and during his career as a manager turned out such men as Duncan, Wallace, Forrest, McDonald, Lander, Cockrell, Scotland, Watkins, Dixon and many others. The entire baseball world mourns his death. on trial with a big salary offer and has let it be known that Day, Holloway, Blackman and Cooper of the A. B. C. Club would, or rather had signed, also one Johnston from Kansas City. From the above mentioned players, the club should change its name to A. B. C. If memory serves me right, there was a plan on foot at one time to transfer the Indianapolis club to Baltimore, but not in the like manner. The Cuban Stars playing in the East, under the capable leadership of the veteran short-stop, Chacon, had about the next best team in the East and past season, and we can learn nothing of their makeup for the coming season before their arrival on American soil. After being given the gate by the Hilldale management, Lloyd affixed his signature to a Bacharach Giant contract, and will direct the success or destiny of the seashore brigade the coming season, replacing Lundy. Rumors has Lloyd playing second and Lundy short. Dear reader, wouldn't it be better were the two sections on playing terms? American Giants Training In Texas CHICAGO, Ill., March 6—The American Giants, with Captain DeMoss in charge, engrained Saturday morning for Texas, where they will prepare themselves for the strenuous campaign anent the 1924 baseball season. President "Rube" Foster will pick up the players in Arkansas. Several of the old-timers, notably among them "Dicta" Johnson and Beckwith, will be among the missing. Beckwith is going to Pittsburgh to play with the "Home-teed Grays," crack independent team of that city. E. E.

NEW YORK, Mar. 6—For a long time, and especially since the recent Howard-Lincoln game in Philadelphia, Alumni of both institutions have been in-listing that future games ought to be staged in New York. They point to the fact that accommodations are available in New York which do not preclude in any other city; and that there is more opportunity after the game than is possible elsewhere. There has been started a well determined activation on the part of the alumni of both institutions, who live in and around the Metropolis, to induce the authorities of the two schools to consent to have the game played at either a re- or the big parks in New York.

Frisco Kid, claimant of the colored welterweight title and one of the most popular boxers to show his wares here, will meet Battling Lawrence, West Virginia bearcat, in one of the main events. The winner of this bout will be matched with Panama Joe Gans. In the other feature bout: Nubby Joe Gans is to box Battling[Brown of Pittsburgh]. This bout promises to be a real humdinger. Gans, who holds the colored lightweight championship of the world, recently returned from Cuba, where during the winter he defeated such boxers as Johnny Lisse, Archie Walker and the Cuban welterweight champion. Brown, according to all reports, is a comer and an set to give Gans his life. Promoter George Patterson of the Booker T.

They recognize the fact that New York is not strictly within the college atmosphere of either school, but they are not unmindful of the fact that both schools are sadly in need of funds to carry on a comprehensive athletic program. Neither school has adequate training facilities for any of the sports, and if the two schools, which today occupy commanding positions, because in their recognition by the big colleges of the country, are to hold what they already have, and gain higher footholds in the athletic world, they must adopt some policy, for the present at least, that will give them the revenue to carry out a program which will be in keeping with their scholastic standing. In addition to this it is believed that the large number of visitors who attend these games, and which is growing by leap and bounds each year, would much prefer to be in New York for this game than elsewhere for a great many people who make long journeys for the Classic, and who do not happen to have friends in either Washington or Philadelphia, there is no other attraction for them during their stay except the game itself, for Washington affords practically no means of diversion or entertainment and those in Philadelphia are comparatively few while in New York the stranger can always find something to make his life worth while. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER prepare Hampton To He And Field Me Third Annual Champio tion of Colored Athletic A Hampton To Hold Big Track And Field Meet On May 17 Third Annual Championship Event Has Sanction of Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. By CHARLES H. WILLIAMS HAMPTON, MA, March 6—Since the opening of Armstrong Field at Hampton Institute in 1922, it has been the custom to hold each year a meeting, to which the various universities, colleges and high schools have sent representative teams. The third annual championship track and field meet will be held on Armstrong Field, on Saturday, May 17. The meet is sanctioned by the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The meet this year has an added attraction for college athletes with exceptional ability. Those who win championships in the track and field meet, and who are of Olympic caliber, will be able to compete in the sectional tryouts for the Olympic team. The three-place winners in the sectional tryouts will be selected for the final tryouts to be held in Boston, on June 13-14. This arrangement to select men who make outstanding records in the Hampton meet for the Seeks Tryout With Big Eastern Clubs George McCrary, a Homestead lad, formerly with Atlanta, Ga., and the Chattanooga, Tenn., club, is desiring a tryout with one of the clubs of the Eastern Association.

With the real dubious resistance put up by both teams, nor the tense or excitement that pervaded the huge Central branch gym, where the two teams clasped last Saturday night. Southwest Holes in Punch It was morale that kept Southwest from crumbling under the attack of the visiting team who had "smashers" who used both right and left hand, and varied it with clever placement" which brought the defensive work up to an unusual standard. Captain B. H. George, Dr. M. B. Dahney, Dr. G. A. Jenkins, Dr. L. P. Gordon, Dr. A. R. Thomas and Mr. William E. Griffin started the works for the Christian Street team. Dr. W. C. Brannon and Dr. J. P. Turner were called into the play at critical periods and showed a real reserve ability. Saturday evening, March S. The Southwest team will play Brooklyn Central Branch Y. M. C. A. in a five-game match. This will test the home team's ability when meeting a first-rate team on their home board. Fans are invited to make the trip. Cubans Strengthen Lineup For Season; Chacon To Lead Club NEW YORK. March 6—Manager Alex Pompex of the Cuban Stars of Havana, Cuba, members of the Eastern League, is making great preparations for the coming season and will leave within a few days for Havana to get a few famous clips together.

Wilberforce '5' Defeated By W.Va. Institute Basketball Situation Again Muddled As Collegians Cross Up Dope—Check "Wonder Team." By F. A. PARKER B. F. T. A. PARKER INSTITUTE, W. Va., March 6— In a speedy, hard-fought game featured by clever passing and wonderful team work, the goal tossers of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute surprised the "Wonder-Team" of Wilberforce University, and handed them their only defeat in 15 games by the score of 23 to 14. An account of the game is the same old story, and triumph of team work over individual players. The Wilberforceans handled the ball like men who were quite familiar with everything connected with basketball. The dribbling and dodging of "Pete" Willett and "Woofang" Ward were exhibitions such as have never before been seen in the West Virginia court. The work of Hudson at center, too, was a wonderful display of that lanky lad's ability to handle a basketball. But Institute led a well-drilled team of versatile and agile men which repeatedly broke up the attempts of the Ohio stars, and which in turn by short accurate passes carried the ball with startling rapidity to the opponent's goal. The floor work of Gaiters at center, the speed of Drain and Sinclair at forward, and the very good guarding of both White and Cultures were very much in evidence throughout the game. Newark American Giants In Field NEWARK, N. J., March 6—The Colored people of Newark are awake after having been asleep for years, and being awake have come to a realization of the fact that Newark with thousands of colored people among her population should have a representative colored baseball team. With this end in view a group of colored business men have organized the "Newark American As-sociation" to promote "The Newark American Giants." Incorporating papers authorizing a capital of $15,000 will be sent to Treston this week, and Charles E. Holmes, the manager, has signed some promising youngsters together with a few stars at a guaranteed salary and a bonus for games won. We intend to make the name of the Newark American Giants respected in baseball land. Our full lineup will be announced soon and on it are going to be some players that any of the other leading colored clubs would be glad to have. The white papers here in Newark, mainly The Newark Ledger, after seeing that we mean business, are playing us up strong and giving us lots of space, and we have promised them that we will make the Newark American Giants a credit to Newark and the colored people. And we are going to keep that promise. We are also going to give some players a tryout, as there is a possibility of finding a few "diamonds in the rough." Good baseball players in this vicinity wishing a tryout, write stating the position they play are requested to write to The Newark American Giants. Charles E.

Taylor, Clark, Carr, Ross, Eggleston, Mackey, Hampton and Mahoney. 1924 Casuals Kansas City, Johnson; Chicago and Detroit, none; Indianapolis, Charleston, Day, Dismuses, Blackmon, Williams, Holloway, Shively, Corbett, Cooper and Burnett. Although the fight seems to hinge between one Ed Bolden of the East and one "Rube" Foster of the West, Indianapolis seems to be the greatest loser. Rube Foster's American Giants who are the taller guard outfielder. Rube will pick up a good boy while in the south. There is a rumor that Williams, the short stop of last season's A. II. C. Club, will accompany Burnett and "Hoboe" Leonard to Lincoln Ginnat. Williams, who signed the contract with Ginnat and will be rumor, but there is "mmy a slip twist the cup and the lip." There is one thing certain. Eastern baseball magnates are picking up some big bloomers among the stars. Watch the exodus of the lineups about Decoration Day. The writer has seen last season's illidale, Lincoln Giants, American Giants, Kansas City Monarchs and Pittsburgh Pirates have yet to see a more consistent right hand hitter than "No" Harris and left hand hitter than "Win" Harris. Homestead Grays now have 14 of their 21 Saturday dates filled. These teams have been the best in Bellevue, West Newton, Uniontown, Jeannette Braddock Elks still clamoring for home and home series. "Hugs" Hoberts, the captain and assistant manager of Pittsburgh Giants, is busy lining up a pitcher, his woman and hard-hitting outfielder, and out the material already at hand. Louisville, last season's Homestead Grays catcher, is reported as signed with illidale. Baltimore Black Sox present a formidable array with Rolo佐恩 catching it all. The Orioles' Wilson, first base; Bly, second base; Fisher, shortstop; Blackman, third base; Jim Jung, Wilson, third baseman; Jim Hollaway, brownie; Holloway, rightfield; "Possum" Poles, utility. This is a good team, but last shortstop Kemp, Bluney Hull was good if got better than the present outfielder, especially in fielding. With Rolo佐恩 catching it all, R.C. the infielder will miss Cheo Smith's hitting. Speaking of outfields, give me "Jolly Roll" Gardner, Stearns of DeKalb, well dealt with. However, this trio does not compare with Shively, Charleston, Lions of C. J. Taylor's 1916 Club. Branham, Leffy, Williams, Dlamukes, Clark still look to good, good. BASKET BALL TITLE IN Triple Tie in Second H and Invincibles Win in Leag PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 6—The local college league is a happy experiment if the opinion of the players and spectators is asked.

We never fall to compliment Manager Hib Douglas of the Big R whenever an opportunity presents itself.

All of which reminds me that one of the boys' heutants, in reply to a query informed the writer that his manager was too busy with big time basketball to enter small time discussions with sport writers. The Claver Girls looked very smart in their muttly fitting knickers at St. Mark's Hall Monday evening.

Jim Wray Eastern Snapshots Eastern Snapshots Philadelphia basketball followers will welcome Loendi tomorrow (Friday) night with all the warmth and admiration which are unusually accorded champions. The gang will be cheering for the home boys because we all know the Panthers will fight till the last claw is clipped. A victory over Loendi is not expected, but the "Tank" should find the going fairly rough for a few minutes. Cap Fats Jenkins of Commonwealth has returned his signed contract to the Harrisburg Giants and assures us that he expects to have a big season. Fats is just as good a baseball player as he is a basketball star, and will be a strong factor for Oscar Charleston this year. We understand that the Harrisburg basketball team has disbanded following the departure of Scrappy Brown from the capital. The Panthers were to have played there last Friday, but Manager Potts was notified not to go. Upholding the action taken by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission in the suspension of the license held by Mrs. Bessie Pretty, who conducted the Golden Gate Athletic Club, Philly, Judge Monoghan discharged the application for a preliminary injunction against the board. If a final hearing is held the judge will write an opinion enunciating his reasons for upholding the board. Sometimes they do get the big money. A tale is warted across the Brooklyn bridge that Frank Keeney, Flatbush theatrical man, paid William Perkins, a trainer, $21,000 for Vandozo, a two-year old filly. This happened in far-off New Orleans and is the highest price paid for a juvenile since the revival of racing down there. Anybody in the East want a good pitcher? If so, read on: Herbert Lefty Smith, formerly of the K. C. Monarchs and the St. Louis Giants wants to come east this year. Has had several years' experience and can also play the outfield. Inquiries may be made to the writer by wire, prepaid. Soine of the sharpshooters are now trying to spread a little propaganda for a Howard-Lincoln game in New York each Thanksgiving. The reason advanced are laughable, but so is the person who thought them no all by himself. When the Howard-Lincoln game is taken from Philly and D. C., our office cat will be mothering a nest of mice. It would break a snake's back to follow the crooked path of reasoning along which some white sport writers try to take their readers. Bob Edgren, who is the daddy of them all when it comes to real hatred for Negroes, had a message last week, said to have been given him by Tex Rickard. A Firpo-Wills bouts in New York City is impossible because there will be so many southerners in the big town this smummer for the Democratic Convention. But— In New Jersey—happy thought—there will be no objection. Firpo can be classed as a foreigner and all will be jake. Frankly, we cannot get his viewpoint. "The biggest game in North Carolina" is the way it came to me. Greensboco citizens in large numbers turned out to see St. James Cyclops five hand a wrist trimming to the L. P. C. High School team of Lexington. Sullivan was the K. P. C. star, while Oldham, O'Neil and Pittman played best for St. James. The score? The manager forgot to send it up. All negotiations with a New York syndicate for a match July 19 with Harry Wills have been called off by Luis Firpo, through his American representative, William McCarney, because of conditions imposed by the promoters. Conditions which the syndicate imposed and Firpo rejected were that a preliminary forfeiture of $50,000 in New York instead of Beunos Aires, and that the Argentinian upon arrival in this country and until the proposed fight, place himself under the control of the syndicate to protect its interests. The latter stipulation would have meant cancellation of an extensive exhibition arranged for Firpo. With the withdrawal of the syndicate Tex Rickard's bid for the battle may be accepted. The promoter offered Firpo $200,000 and Wills $100,000 to battle on Boyle's Dirty Acres in July. Young Ketchell of Bristol had been knocking all other Jersey boys for a row of skeeter shelterts till he ran across Kid Sullivan, colored light-weight champ of that state. Ketchell had had 19 straight wins, but the Kid stopped him, rocking him in the cradle of the sleep in the fourth round. Lincoln sure can take it this year. They took another wallop in Philly on Friday night when Howard won from them by a 31-16 score. Massey Wood did whatever little starring was shown by the Chester county boys, while Lawton led the attack for Howard. Brother Lyss is having a hard row in basketball in his first season as coach of his Alma Mater. New York, Sunday night, is to have the greatest basketball treat of all time when Loendi, Commonwealth and Renaissance will all be seen in action on one court and in one night. The Pittsburghs and Peekskill of the State League, will play the other part of the double-header to the Big R- Commonwealth clash. Oh, boy! Big R. Johns should set at rest for good and all the wild reports that Loendi could never again play in Harlem. We take some measure of credit to ourselves for the fact that Loendi is to play on the Commonwealth floor, but the good sense of Mr. McMahon and of Mr. Posey is the most potent factors. NOW LET US HAVE A LOENDI-COMMONWEALTH SERIES! It can be done and the good of the game demands such a series. Almendares is showing fight in the Cuban league and does not seem to care whom they lick. The team which Lundy quit is going big guns and is on the heels of Havana in second place. Lloyd and Thomas still carry the offensive for the Reds and their big bats are a desperate factor in each game. John Henry still is able to show the youngsters how to steal bases. the young Dave.Brown, Holland and Currie are Santa C's winning hurriers, Holland still having a clean slate. Jess Winters has not won a game this half. It has been definitely settled that Harry Wills' next bout will be on March 14, in Hartford, Conn., with Jack Taylor, heavyweight from Omaha, Neb., as his opponent. They will clash in a 12-round contest to a decision. Wills to getting into shape at Hot Springs, Ark. Harry is also booked to fight Bartley Madden in Newark, N. J., March 17. We wonder how those Lincoln men who continually cut classes and break other rules feel sitting on the sidelines and watching their team take alicking, which their presence might have averted.

By LYNN F. WAGNER Close to 1,200 fighters and fanatics jammed the cracker box Barberton arena to the doors-Monday night to witness the glove carnival arranged by Promoters Harold Walsh and Chub Kinney. They saw in action about the fastest light heavyweight that has been the lightest for the spell in Tiger Flowers, the sensational battler of Atlanta, Ga. The Tiger manipulated boxing gloves at a much faster rate than we have seen boxing gloves manipulated for some time. Flowers outpointed Battler Gahee of Youngstown in every one of the 12 rounds and had a wide margin at the finish when Referee Chub Kinney held up his right hand. The mountaint was somewhat one-sided for this Tiger person tossed more boxing gloves in Gahee's direction that the Steel City leather pusher will ever again see in 12 three-minute rounds, that is, unless he encounters Flowers again. The Tiger started with the bell in the opening round and proceeded to swing gloves from every angle just as fast as he possibly could. Gahee stopped most of them, for five rounds Flowers tossed boxing gloves in Gahee's direction at the rate of hundred or so per minute, for few punches and Flowers kept up the shower of wallows. He started blows from every angle, dancing in and out and wailing away. In the early rounds the Tiger appeared to be pulling his punches and Referee Chub Kinney gave both fighters instructions to fight. Along toward the middle of the fracas they put more snap into their punches, or rather Flowers did, for up to that stage of the fight Gahee hadn't done much in the way of punching. But after the seventh frame the Steel City scene showed in a few hard points with his right which a thought hard for on each ocean a shower of rapid-fire lefts and rights to the chin and stomach. In the seventh they got busy at close quarters and for fully a minute they slashed away at close range. Gahee displayed a willingness to exchange punches when in close, but he displayed a great deal of respect for Flowers' punching ability when they were working at long range. Fans about the ringside were of the opinion that Flowers was not trying very hard to put Gahee to sleep, but from our point of view it appeared as though the Tiger was trying, but couldn't connect with a Downer to Act As Scout For Pgh.

BOOK REVIEW THE IRON PUDDLER (My Life in the Rolling Mills and What Came of I) by James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor in the Harding and Coolidie Cabinets. The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Publishers, Indianapolis, Ind. 276 Pages. Price $2.00. James J. Davis, the present Secretary of Labor, was born in Tredegar, Wales, 50 years ago. He came to America at the age of 8. He is descended from a family of iron workers. He started out in that trade himself at Sharon, Pa., when only 11 years of age. At 16 he was a master puddler. He roamed over the country working at his trade, from Sharon to Pittsburgh, and from Pittsburgh into Ohio, and from Ohio to Birmingham. He was caught in a convict-camp, his husband became a bounty. Italian in worker, was elected president of the tint-plate workers' union. From there he was elected city clerk at Elwood, then county recorder, and so on on the political ladder. Mr. Davis, like Sinclair Lewis's George F. Babbitt, is a born booster. He believes there is nothing like work. He preaches work. He is bitterly opposed to agitators and the Red propagandists. He is against unrestricted immigration; although he is an immigrant. In short, he is an American, just as much so as if he had been born here. His philosophy of government and his beliefs on capital and labor are sound. He favors the union, and he favors the workers getting good pay and the best possible working conditions, but he is against outlaw strikes and unreasonable demands, from either capital or labor. He is a "good mixer." As chief promoter of "Mooseheart," the famous school in Illinois, he is known as one of the foremost educators of the country. Mr. Davis has a healthy distaste for "reformers." He says work in the mills under any conditions never hurt him, and according to his story he did about as hard work as there is to be found. He thinks the workers are able to take care of themselves without the interference of outsiders, because he says the worker knows what is best for himself better than the outsider does. His arguments along these lines are convincing: The book is easily read. The author has a kind of extemporaneous style which is punctuated with jokes, etc., which keeps the story lively. It is an especially good book for growing boys and girls with ambition and the will to do and be. Like Edward Bok, Davis made his mark by sheer work, hard work, and he offers that as the only true way up for any other ambitious youthful aspirants to higher things. And we think Davis is right. CONQUEST OF COOMASSIE, an Epic of the Mashanti Nation, by Alderean, with illustrations, by Henry M. Brooks. Published by the Coomassie Publishing Company, 1315 East Twelfth Street, Los Angeles, Cal. 130 Pages. Price $2.00. The Conquest of Coomassie is an epic poem, a tale of the African people, giving a vivid visioned description of the glory of ancient Ethiopia. It was written by a West Indian who has traveled abroad extensively, and is said to be unusually familiar with his subject. George S. Grant, in his introduction, says: "The Conquest of Coomassie" challenges the western civilization; reveals its paucity of purpose, and prophesies its downfall. Its message to black people is invaluable; the recital of the heroic achievements and grandeur of Ancient Ethiopia irresistibly supports the virile suggestion contained in "Wakel mighty men of Ethiop's line." Coomassie was the capital of an African confederacy known as Mashanti, and was built by Osai Tutu the Great, early in the Seventeenth Century. The story tells how the British, by artful treachery, abused treaties and agreements with the natives, took advantage of their weakness, and finally conquered them. The book is an effort to inspire confidence and respect in Negroes of today by praising their African ancestors. The question is asked: Who were your ancestors? Then answered, Mr. Black Man, do you know that your forefathers were a highly civilized people when the ancestors of the present day white man were savages in the arts of Europe and Asia? That your ancestors originated the Sciences, the Arts, Philosophies and Laws that now govern the world? That black men have maintained this hierarchy on the African continent up to the present day? The book will be dry to one, not specially interested in the subject, but the poetry is beautiful and well worth reading. The illustrations are unusually good for a colored artist. The book is beautifully printed and attractively arranged. Leaps From 3rd Story Window With Child ST.

O'Donnell got into a habit of inviting his pals to take her out for the evening. Mrs. O'Donnell declared. Eventually he filed a divorce petition, naming Arnold Greenhush, his best friend, and several other co-respondents.

The sealiphone is a musical contrivance in which live pigs of various ages and vocal tones furnish the notes. Jed first made eight small boxes, bound together by two white sheet iron bands. Into each box he puts a pig whose seal is the same as the pig's original seal of the musical octave. The weight of the pigs ranges from 100 down to about thirty pounds. By pulling or twisting their tails the pigs are made to seal, and thus jed is enabled to play many of the standard melodies, such as *Home*, *Snag Home*, *Last Ride* of *Summer River*, *etc*. Hardly a day passes that Jed doesn't have visitors eager to listen to his animated sealiphone. a sure method of relieving the pooches of their kill—the kills them as fast as he catches them.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER bly Liars, tsburgh AMERICA'S GREAT Wylie PITT Avenue Notwithstanding the wild rumors concerning the estrangement of a certain professional man and his wife, they are still living together peacefully at the same address. FRIENDS of the Column might be interested in knowing that the $8.90, representing prescription fees of Ed. Bailey's apothecary, shop has been returned, and Ed. Bailey says the Column deserves credit for locating it. Thanks. But we haven't been able to locate Lola Jesseme's "French"—for which $25 is offered and no questions asked. IT WAS nearing the "wee hours of the morning." The lady remained on one side of the Avenue, while the gentleman, crossed over, and entered a Negro hotel. He remained inside about ten minutes, and entered the waiting lady. Both crossed over, entered the hotel and registered. Wonder if it ever occurred to the clerk: that it is unusual for respectable white couples to leave the downtown section—where all modern accommodations are to be had—and inquire; here and there for an establishment conducted by a Negro and did not occur to the clerk wrong with the whole procedure, when a man leaves his "wife" outside while he enters to inquire about being accommodated. Yes, we wonder! This practice of Negro citizens and merchantmen catering to the scum of other races at the expense of their own, must be stopped—especially when confined to sections where Negroes are thickly settled. And somebody is going to stop it. THE Little Savoy "Hoochery," at Townsend street, is no more. The police have finally convinced Mr. Silverman that he must go straight or quit going. The fact that he preferred the latter course serves to prove the Column's contention that this class of Jews are in our midst for no good purpose. Next! THE gentleman who misconstrued our account of the family which moved from the Avenue last week will be pitted by some com­mended by us. We offer no pity to Negroes who aspire to leadership and fail to make use of our free schools—day or night. HROUGH some misunderstand- ing. Jim Gross has named his The Jim Gross has made the "Little Paris" establishment the "Little Paris". This name is far from being appropriate because Parisian cakes are seldom underground and also because French people prefer and advertise French cooking—not Chinese or American. The Column is of the opinion that Jim will be compelled to change that sign because it is understood that patrons will have something to say about the name. However, the formal opening will take place Tuesday, March 11, afternoon and evening, at which time we advise each person to register their opinion as to whether the name is appropriate or not. Leave your bottles at home—and don't expect Jim to lend you one. THE intellectuals of the Avenue are up in arms over the Negro weeklies giving so much space to the account of a white woman placing an oppose in which the white man kisses the Negro's hand—in the final act. The Column's opinion has been requested, so here she goes: In view of the fact that all trained and recognized leaders of our race are fighting incessantly for equal industrial and professional opportunities for members of our race, it seems like an act of contradiction to emphasize this incident and give it more importance. A white woman is making a sacrifice. In a number of trades and professions, with which we are familiar, some white woman is working opposite a Negro day by day, in sections of a building, or in separate rooms set aside for that particular work—and each regard the other as a superior. The results obtained by such a combination are satisfactory because their relations with each other are anything but those pictured by the "Southern white"—or those people whose mental dynamos are impelled by unfulfilled anticipations. Workers who excel are too busy with their white faces working opposite to be elements of undue emphasis or distraction, because it is nausea and ordinary. Dramatizing this particular play is the work of a man for monetary considerations only, has no endorsement from either race, therefore, it represents none—other than an outburst of insults to the surmise pay. The hand-kissing is a part of the player's work, and represents no mental, moral, physical or financial standard of either race. The kissed or kisser gains or loses no more by this incident than they would if the Negro was pictured as the future Saviour—because, after all, the entire play is the interpreter of the play, which is not substantiated by actual facts. So, if the play is a great play, Mr. Robeson a great actor, Miss Blair a great actress, the status of the play But Liar THE COURT TEST WEEKLY TSBURGH by John. L. Clark and phyliers are too nearly equal to emphasize the color of opposite players, where they play or whom they kiss. Evidently, this news item was written by a youngster who is unfamiliar with the fundamentals of propaganda or the relations of the two races. Instead of a racial achievement as set forth by the weeklies, it is an unscrupulous piece of degradation, accepted by weeklies without consideration to the efforts of institutions who have—and are still—hammering away for equal opportunities to display our talents and thereby earn a decent livelihood. This style of propaganda does no good. MR. CHARLES S. GILIPIN is in our midst. We understand that the Pitt Theater was sold out four days in advance. Two years ago Mr. Gilpin was here in "Emperor Jones." Progressive organizations were debating each other whether would he him. The Business Men's League planned to arrange a spread at Loenildi Club, but were informed by Mr. Gilpin that he could not attend. Harry Collins prepared a sumptuous dinner, built around Jumbo Squabs, sent out invitations, with cards of acceptance, decorated with flowers printed in Days Sepia, with the likeness of Mr. Gilpin there, plate cards, etc. Over 100 people accepted and began to file in Collins' Inn dining room early in the evening—prepared for an evening of sycophancy, entertainment and hero-worshiping. There were doctors, nurses, bankers, preachers and business men—all successful in their respective vocations. Mr. Glipin arrived, spent some time downstairs, and after being reminded several times of the waiting throng, made his way upstairs, looked in the rear of the living room, about and returned downstairs. In a conversation with Frank Sutton recently he said that nobody seemed to know him and that, he felt that he was out of place. We will grant that nobody knew him, because he became the GREAT Charles Gilpin overnight and this was his first visit to Pittsburgh as the race's greatest triumph, but he acknowledged introduction to the polished Mr. Randolph, a lover of art, who was master of ceremonies and who would have introduced him as none but Mr. Randolph could. He returned to the downstairs without a word of apology for his sudden decision, unminful of the brains who had put aside their work, their business in order to do honor to Mr. Gilpin setting at naught the study, the Gilpin, the Gilpin and his organization in seeing that every little detail be in order, so that the function would be void of flaws and errors. Mr. Gilpin probably expected some "kow-towing" as did the West Indian subjects to Emperor Jones." But the people present were not ignorant peasants—but great men—men who, like Mr. Gilpin, had been on the ropes, called upon their reserve stamina, fought back—and won. They had expected to make on their appreciation of another great man—but were disappointed, for Mr. Gilpin is a great actor, but a small man, and on this occasion he proved it. It is understood that he was to appear at Labor Temple last night night—an affair conducted, by Negroes. As yet he has not shown up. But they say he visited the New Lincoln Theater, operated by Harry Tannenbaum (who is not a Negro) and made a few remembrances for people, her in a conversation, which was not intended for publication, he is quoted as saying: "I am not interested in the race problem." And considering the ungrateful acts as here recorded, we actually believe that Mr. Gilpin is not interested in the problem or the race. We would enjoy seeing Mr. Gilpin 365 days out of every year. But as a NogAN M—well, keep him in New York, or any city but Pittsburgh. THE business interests of the Avenue are to have a baseball game games on the games-broad. Players who like to chase the hidden sphere, get in touch with Nate Harris or Ed. Bailey as soon as possible. The support of the Column goes with this effort to furnish a diversion to those we us who are compelled to us during the day. How does the "Avenue Dubs" sounds to you? OIS B. DEPPE, who is "running in high," says that Pittsburgh needs a Sunday Forum—some kind of refined entertainment for the non-churchgoer or those who will only attend church once on Sunday. John Crampton, Captain Steward, Billy Page, the Column and numberless others say the same. Why can't we get together? BILLY PAGES Broadway Syncopators have been erroneously advertised to appear at Royal Garden Academy March 10. They are playing an out-of-town engagement on that date. TIMES DEMAND YOUNG MAN MUST 'TRAIN' TO BE A MODEL HUSBAND Negro Dialect Is Defended By English Prof. NEW YORK, March 6—Negro- syntax and pronunciation has no other origin than English, said G. K-Prapp, professor of English at Columbia University, in a recent lecture here, writes an "Asso- sociated Press Dispatch" from Stanford University, Cal. There remains no trace of any alien speech which the Negroes might have had at first. Professor Krapp pointed out. He added that the words "voo-doo" and "hooodoo" might possibly be of African origin but the word "jazz" and "tote" and many other slang expressions spread by the American Negro were ancient English derivatives. KILLS 1,380 CROWS AT NIGHT Birds Fly Right Back to Tree After Many Are Shot SMITH CENTER, Kan., March 6 —Clyde Patterson, a Smith County farmer, took to the county clerk, office the other day 1,380 crow heads and collected a bounty of $138 for them. The crows were killed on the Paterson farms in three nights. Killing crows at night is quite a popular sport and also quite profitable if the hunter has any luck in finding a tree full of crowds. When a shot is fired into the flock the birds fly around for a moment and come right back to their roost. Crows have been known to carry out nearly every county offers a bounty for their heads. Some maintain that a year or so at a coed center of learning is the most effective training ground for husbands; others that the "highly specialized clam methods used by Summer girls when they put their husbands on the floor, times turn out a finished product within two weeks' time. But it has remained for the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A., white, to institute a six weeks' course of lectures with the frankly avowed purpose of helping young men to fit themselves for matrimony. April 1 will be the date of the first lecture—which may or may not be significant. Time will tell. Being serious, as everybody knows, is one of the funniest things in the world, and earnestness has been under a cloud for so long that it takes a brave man to uphold it. They are not moral courage. The powers that he are not blind to the fact that people are laughing—they themselves concede that it is amusing, but they uphold their opinions so sincerely and back them up with such vigorous common, sense that many of those who come to scoffre remain, if not to at least to hope for their success. Carroll M. Gibney, the director of the educational department at Central branch, is a young married man, has a healthy son aged 3, and is a strong advocate of happy married life. He feels that much can be done to help smooth matters out for new parents, and he has planned he has canned. The idea has been in the back of his head for nearly ten years and has grown and flourished as a result of his observation of matrimonial ventures and his discussions with many people. And after one gets through giggling at the idea of a group of earnest young men, he learns that means and hows and why (while the girls they have in mind may be at the movies with some less worthful,) it isn't so amusing as it seems at first blush. Laughter Can't Stop It "Ha!" chuckles the middle-aged father of a family. "Going to teach in six weeks what it's taken men 20 years to learn!" "Ho! ho!" shouts the confirmed bachelor. "Going to have a course in how to be happy though married!" "Huh!" sniffs the girl. "No regular fellow would go to that!" But—enrollment has started. The course, outlined briefly, will include handling finances; buying or renting a home; relatives; insurance; companionship; the child; and its place, and human relations in married life. It is planned to have one persons, preferably a doctor, but at any rate a man happily married, successful in life and capable of speaking with authority, in charge of the series. When need arises, experts on certain topics may be called in, but by having one person Mr. Gibney feels that a relationship can be established which could not be had if the lectures had different mentors. The class will be limited to a small group of men in order to allow personal discussion whenever it is wanted. Mr. Gibney says: "No human under- taking is more important than FILM BEAUTY WEDS CO-STAR D. W. H. Edward Thompson, who is co-starring with Evelyn Preer in one group of Lafayette Players advises that they are now Mr. and Mrs. Edward Thompson. Eddie is the son of DeKowen Thompson and the stepson of Elwood Knox, editor of the Indianapolis Freeman. Egyptian Jewelry In Vogue Brings Tales of The Gleaming Emerald. Jewelry in the early days of its use was worn for a symbolic reason as well as for its beauty and ornamentation. Old Egyptian jewelry is particularly interesting because the different articles were supposed to have magic powers or were able to ward off evil. The scarab ring was the emblem of the resurrection of the dead. The scarecrow a shortening of the scientific name for the beetle, was made of timber or green glass in such a way that, turned on one side, the outline of the insect was revealed, while the other was carved with symbols portraying life, death, resurrection and immortality. The stone was made of a gold ring and with a wire running through it might be threaded with either side worn out. Bright Hues Were Favored The Egyptian used all the precious stones of delightful colors, as well as many brightly colored glasses which were often cemented together in picture designs like the one you see in the bottom. The emerald was of favorite of Egyptian days, for it was much in demand for carving and enaming. In Cooptos, Egypt are found tools evidently used by miners, huge barricet-like buildings, large enough to hold 2,000 people, which were probably the father of slaves who worked in the mines. The main sources of emeralds today are Peru and Colombia in South America, those from Peru, being of most value and having the most intense color. Emeralds in smaller quantities are found in New Wales, Siberia, Hindustan, Norway and North Carolina in the United States. Especially fine emeralds are referred to as "fine old Spanish emeralds" even though no emeralds were mined in Spain. When Peru was conquered by Spain an enormous quantity of highly prized emeralds was brought back to Spain where they were distributed among a number of families. The emerald is rated next to the ruby in value because of its charming color. Emeralds are generally not large in size, but when a large specimen is found, it is rarely without a flaw. Yet the emerald is the only stone in which an imperfection does not detract from its value. The emerald is one of the softest of precious stones and when heated to a certain degree will become of a blue hue, recovering its natural color when cool. If the stone is subjected to an extreme heat, it becomes opaque. The emerald brings good luck to those born in May. marriage, and yet ione is entered with less preparation—especially on the part of the men. I believe there would be far less work for the divorce courts if both men and girls were to be married. They ought to be equally intelligent in the matter of managing their affairs, not each relying on the other to do the lion's share and neither one capable. "Some of the papers have described him as a man who pick his wife. That is not our idea at all; we wouldn't attempt anything, so arbitrary, as that. "This thing broke too soon—I had no idea that all this stir would be made. It may not be a success at all, but it will be if it is, we'll have a longer and more complete course in the winter session of classes." Matrimonial Wisdom "Needless to say, he has a number of theories of his own. He believes that, people should not wait for the woman to speak before he la s3, generally speaking. He says that if they can't make ends meet unless the woman works too, let her keep her job rather than let too many years pass, but not work any longer than she really has to. Marriage without mutual sex attraction will then failure, he and children are an insurance of happiness. He was asked what quality drew a man to a girl at first, and gave as his opinion that style was the important thing, much more potent a charm than just prettiness. In the girls of today from the manners of their mothers, or even of older sisters, have ind like changes in the boys to keep pace with them; that there is no great discrepancy of ideas and ideas between the two, as so many would have us think. We should to have a parallel course for girls, under the direction of the Y. W. C. A., and, at the conclusion of each course, intrude the members of the respective classes? Mr. Gibney laughed and declared that the matter hadn't gone that far, implying that the proof of the existence of children in private eating, not institutional. Let this be said to those who laugh: At no time has the Brooklyn "Y" promised its matrimonial puns, but a certificate of graduation from course will have any weight whatsoever with the Coy opposite sex.

It will soften harsh, kinky hair, making it easier to put up in any style its length will permit. Quinade is a medicated pomade scientifically compounded by an experienced pharmacist.

Seeby's Quinasoap is made with a pure vegetable oil base and produces a rich, creamy lather so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair so soft that it imparts a rich feeling to the scalp, uncalledered to other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name.

MUSIC DISCUSSIONS LECTURES Charged with the murder of Bella Rossoe at Horse Pond, a small town near Charleston, S. C., about three months ago, John H. Pugh was arrested in Camden, N. J. He admitted having shot the woman, saying that she had attacked him and that he acted in self-defence and expressed a willingness to go back to South Carolina. When officers entered the house at S10 South Second street, where he Charles Fred White Refuses To Vacate Bldg. Charles Fred White, recently appointed to the State Athletic Commission by Governor Pinchot, was given orders to vacate his real estate offices in the Jefferson building on Chestnut street. Not merely content with sending him a letter to the effect, the superintendent of the building had his name removed from the building directory. Mr. White experienced the same condition in the Drexel building, also on Chestnut street. It is rumored that a 'Southerner with offices in the Jefferson building' has taken exception to the presence of a Negro tenant and is the aggressor in the movement to oust Mr. White. Given twenty-four hours to vacate, Mr. White has held his ground, refusing to accept such an order, and states that he will sue for damages if he is forced to leave. Fire Routs 13 Uptown Thirteen persons were forced to flee in their night clothes shortly before midnight when fire damaged the home of Aaron Baylor, 1316 Ogden street. The first started in the basement of the building. Baylor was awakened by the crackling of the flames and aroused the other occupants. He and his wife fought the flames until firemen arrived.

Railroad, Not Porter, Liable Railroad, Not Porter, Liable Railroads are responsible for the errors of careless porters in stations, Judge Keller of Superior Court decided. The decision was made in the suit of Mrs. Jennie S. Booker of Wilmington against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. A porter at Broad Street Station took her bag from Pullman ostensibly to put it in another. When she reached her seat the bag was missing. The company contended the porter was in her employ during the transfer and that it was not responsible. But she will receive $870, the value of the bag and clothing. has been living for several weeks, one of his two small boys called to Pugh to "beat it." He fled over a back fence, but was caught after a chase of several squares by Patrolman Branch and taken to the city hall with his children. His wife having "deserted him last week, the boys were turned over to the police matron until disposition of them can be decided upon. Tries To Kill Self 5 Times In City Hall After he had been held on charges of forcible entry and larceny, Charles Johnson, 19 years old, of Bainbridge street, near Twelfth, made five attempts to commit suicide in City Hall. Before being taken to City Hall, Johnson had been held without Ball by Magistrate Grelis on the larceny charges. After he had been placed in a cell in the Central Station, Turnkay Walsh! heard dead body, and that he resisted, found that Johnson had hung himself from the iron-grated cell door, using his scarf for a noose. Walsh cut him down and he was quickly revived. As he was being taken to Rogue's gallery to be photographed, Johnsized a bottle of ink and started to drink the contents, but swallowed only a little of it, spilling most of it over Sergeant Beppel, who had snatched the bottle from him. He arrived in the gallery, he attempted to leap out of a window, but was unable. Placed in the cell again he ran to one side and tried to bang his head against the wall, but was not injured except for slight wound wounds. He said he wanted to die because he was "disgusted with life." He is being guarded closely. Woman Attacks School System Woman Attacks School System The use of intelligence tests for grouping students in the high schools of the city was criticised by the Tri-State Conference of Negro Women in a resolution which eliminated the tests were being used to segregate Negro pupils. "Our investigation shows that a special class of fifteen Negro girls has been formed in the Philadelphia High School for Girls," said Mrs. M. Mossell Griffin, of Philadelphia, who called the conference. The resolution asserts that "the intelligence tests have not yet proved to be satisfactory." It recommends the discontinuance of these methods. A committee is to be appointed by the Tri-State Conference further to investigate the tests and their effect and to report to the various clubs embraced in the conference. Authorities of the Philadelphia High School for Girls denied and denounced the assertion made by the Tri-State Conference. A teacher speaking for Miss Jenna Allen, principal of the school, now attending a convention in Chicago, branded the entire statement as false. "This is all utterly untrue," she said. "We have no special class of fifteen girls grouped together. As for the intelligence test, we group all our students according to their averages in these tests. Any discussion of the intelligence tests should be taken up with the Superintendent of Schools. "A number of Negro women called at the school, in reference to this matter, and we told them at that time there was no truth in it." Sat. Eye.

Takes Role In Benefit Play ```markdown ``` EVE LYNN CHATS As Lent approaches 'tis natural for folks everywhere to cram and cram all the social affairs into one week. And Philadelphia has surely lived up to the reputation, for there are many quiet and some few large affairs to be given in and about town. Before the Lenten spell over-mes the people and they grow reverently silent and attempt a spiritual "clean up" for the course of the next few沙 days, the Quaker City shall dive in for Five Hundred, dances, teas, a few musicales and then—silence. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Shipley. of Baltimore, were the week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Deane in Germantown. Mrs. Peyten, of Richmond, Vn. has been visiting in New York and Philadelphia for a brief stay. Miss Marie Jones is spending the winter in-Sunny California, where she is enjoying many happy days. Mr. James Murdak spent Sunday in Wilmington. He is out among his friends again and they are delighted. Mr. Julian Garret was in our midst on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Jason are delightfully situated in a cozy apartment in the home of Capt. and Mrs. Ammonds. Mrs. Jason will be remembered as Miss Harriett Crulley. Mrs. Hunt, well known and loved Philadelphia matron, has been confined to bed for several weeks. Among the week-end guests in the city was Mrs. Trigg, of North Carolina. She was visiting Mrs. J. Baldwin of Butler street. Rev. Lloyd Umes, pastor of Central Presbyterian church, was in Baltimore and Washington last week. Mr. E. T. Attwell, field director of Community Service, will remove his offices in a few weeks. Miss Marie Cooke has really developed into an artist of rare ability. Her tinting and making over of old furniture is truly artistic. 'Tis good to know that society girls have talents, too. Mr. Chandler Owens, of New York City, has been in our midst for several days. Mr. young, of Wilkes-Barre, spent the week with Dr. and Mrs. George Jenkins. Dr. Conrud Bell has been confined to bed, but is convalescing at this time. It is with profound sincerity that the friends of Dr. Chas. Howard congratulate him upon his passing the Pennsylvania Board of Medicine. Miss Alberta Norwood entertained Miss Bessie Knems as her house guest for a few days. Ruth Deane, Soprano, Coptizes Audience at Germantown Theater Well known in social and musical circles in the Quaker City, is Mrs. Ruth L. Deane, of Germantown. On Sunday afternoon, March 2, Mrs. Deane sang "Fear Not, O Israel" before an audience of three or four thousand people in the oldest theatre in Germantown at the corner of School Lane and Germantown avenue. Ms. L. Deane, co-counsellor, she sang with her usual poise; her voice is sweet, and it resounded with its exceptional volume throughout the theatre. Dr. Channing Tobias, of Washington. D. C., spoke with a great strength of purpose, conveying a wonderful message upon the race question. The speaker and the singer were fine representatives of the ability of our people. The meeting was indeed impressive. Mrs. Deane looked lovely in a brown velvet gown and a small gold chapeau. The Dansant in Honor of Blanche Cowdrey Marks Social Event of Pre-Lenten Season And what is so sweet as a day in June? And a girl graduate? Miss Blanche Cowdrey, one of the Fabrières of Girls' Normal school, was presented to society by her mother, Mrs. William Cowdrey and her aunt, Mrs. Thomas James, on Saturday evening at the Hotel Attucks between the hours of 6 and 9.

Then to the grill for a dance; it was indeed a beautiful sight. There were debutantes, young and older matrons, in fact, there were three generations, who enjoyed the party. And this fact added such a sweetness to the affair. Mrs. Wm. Cowdery wore black charmeuse. Mrs. Thomas James was seen in Fuchia Canton Crepe, and Miss Cowdery, the lady of the hour, was adorned in silver cloth with a scarf of tangerine gloveette. An assistant that shall linger in the memories of folkks for many days. Miss Cowdery was ushered into society with poise and grace, and she shall take her place among a group of debutantes which is hard to boat. Pre-Lenten Leap Year Dance by Dames and Damselfs Goes Off With a Punch Happy have we met and happy have we parted. Such was the atmosphere of the affair given at O'Nell hall by a charming group of dames and damsels on Friday evening. February 29. Just a select few planned the leap year affair, the ladies being the hostesses of the evening. From 9 until 2, the air rang with merry laughter and good will. And 'twas a Charleston party. Everyone glided around the hall to the tune of irresistible jazz music—here, there and everywhere, doing that fascinating, new and very snappy Charleston. At the midnight hour showers of confetti fell upon the fair couples. Whistles and colored ping pong balls were heard and seen in every nook and corner. Each one was adorned with a pretty, green cap and — on with the dance. The throng grew more and more jolly and the evening was over—far too son Fitz Brown sang to the strains of Girtle Monk's orchestra and even the musicians had to put in a step now and then. A delicious collation was served during the entire evening. Twas a party long to be remembered, and the girls looked so lovely, they all wore summer frocks. Can you picture Mrs. Percy Bentley in a pink apron frock and a summer hat trimmed in pink roses? And Elizabeth Jones was clever in a red organdy and cretonne creation. Mrs. Helen Benson always looks chique; she wore rose organdy and bands of net. And say, Mrs. Forrester Washington was so kiddish in red and white gingham and her long black plaits. And who could be sweeter than Laura Baxter in yellow gingham, Diana Baxter in red organdy, Edith Taylor in white and Gladys Syers in yellow and white? Agnes Upshar and Priscilla Jenkins wore such pretty orange frocks, "Dede" Hinkson wore cretonne and Maudelle Frower was in green linen. Ruth Deane looked charming in peach organdy and a very lovely hat. But I shall tell you more next time. Because, really, every girlie at the party was charming, but we shall pass down Fashion Row again and again, and you shall know them all sooner or later. The Debs Plan Mardi Gras Ah! and those debs are off again. For on Tuesday night the Debs plan a Mardi Gras. It promises to be quite original and up to the standard of the other snappy affairs. Say, Don't You Know That there is something in the air and it surely will awaken and liven the old Quaker town when it comes to pass? It is to take place in the early spring.

Brown Newly Organized Publishing Co. To Open Building Newly Organized Publishing Co. To Open Building What seems to be a unique idea, comes in the form of a newly organized publishing concern under the name of the Plant Company. They will soon open their new building at 1617 Lombard street, in the heart of the business district of Philadelphia. A brief interview with the president and manager, Mr. Chas. B. Plant, of Bryn Mawr, a young man representing and typifying the progressive and aggressive Negro of today, stated that the company's main interest would be directed in the production of 'The Afro-American Blue Book.' That already work had been started on this large undertaking, this work will be a complete registry of colored American families of the United States and territories and will be issued in volumes for states and territories. The first volume will be Philadelphia and vicinity. The company will make a careful research of every listed name in order to guarantee the work to the subscribers. The plant will be equipped to handle all classes of printing. The building itself stands out as a mark of distinction for the colored people of the city in that it is stitched here. Another scheme. A special event, it is learned, is under way for the opening of the building. OBSERVED BY WALLY PEELE That money of which has been said, "is the root of all evil," nevertheless, is most essential to our very living. Therefore, it is important that we should consider from every available angle, the reasons, effects and possibilities. It is a very poor rule which doesn't work both ways. The above quotation, no doubt, has been heard for many thousands of years and has been handed down in modern translation to guide us. The effects time and the wearing qualities of the ages has effected the rule to the point where it could be changed with apologies to the author. 'Money is the root of all evil or happiness.' To the colored people of America is slowly dawning the realization that money is -the one avenue up which all must wend their way. The door of success may be reached up this direct route, by no other way. So many of our conditions over which we cry so loud are due merely to the fact, that we are without, money. It is very true that in the United States one must be able to back up his efforts with money or be supported by capital, before any recognition will be given. The mad rush to accumulate capital is leaving our group out in the cold. No time is being lost in consideration of things which in no way represent capital. As a n group we must look to ourselves in the accumulation of money. Unable and able to back our demands by capital we can hardly hope to compete with those who not only represent capital, but hold our destinies in their hands, by controlling the very necessities of life. In this we are mere specks hardly noticeable in this big world of affairs. It is quite polite to make apologies but they will not help and surely do no develop the qualities that are needed to accumulate capital. So many colored people are 'breat for going back and quoting Biblical phrases regarding the riches of Ethiopia and Egypt. To indulge in such hypocrisy will not elevate us as a people to any high place of men and women who accomplish great things. The amassment of capital is the art of arts to day. A race or group of people to receive a just recognition must first have developed this art. In the United States you are considered and measured by the standard of dollars and cents. All our fights for advancement as right of citizens are largely dependent upon 'what do we represent financially.' The answer comes back 'not so much.' Measured as a group we are still pretty low financially. There are many reasons. First, one could say, 'we are still young, look what we have accomplished in such a short time.' All very well, but the minute you stop to think of what you have accomplished in such a short time you cease to develop. Don't think about it, but keep going and don't look back. Its dangerous and every one cannot stand dizzy heights, you know. Second, we have still to work out of our systems the effect of the charming girls and snappy boys. And song and dance and play and everything and sh—but Joe Wood and Sterling Rex and someone else you know real well are going to put it over. Ju: watch for the date. Aren't you glad, that you are living today? Why it is the hour of life and life abundant!

'To look to heaven and try to read the Bible.' Our forefathers succeeded pretty well. Man must now how to work the materialistic and the spiritualistic to be successful. Our forefathers had little chance at learning materialism and were too full of the spirit, to understand the game in its true light. It is necessary, therefore, to combine the two qualities in a happy medium. Another generation perhaps, will be quite different. Third, the lack of education has eben a severe handicap. And for that reason alone, is it up to all parents to see that their offsprings are given the benefit of the schools and colleges. It is most essential in correcting the effects of narrow-mindedness and ignorance of our forcathers and ours. Fourth, we must learn unity and co-operation. This must come from the relinquishing of old ideas and theories that we can learn alone. Never, we need together. Along an earth we need this old planet earth we will need one another in order to develop the possibilities of each individual power. Otherwise, we cannot grow. Group strength must not only be considered in numbers, but in dollars and cents. This is a very important point. To be successful in this particular vein, the group must be represented in enterprises other than the church. Nearly nine-tenths of the wealth of the colored people is invested in churches. This does not give the group any material financial standing one way or the other. It may be termed stunted capital or that type of capital which does not grow. I know a great number of religious soils which deal with my statements. But my aim is to tell you the truth, whether it hurts or not. We must take our chances on going to heaven by helping ourselves, not by pauperizing ourselves. We must capitalize our interest in industries and endeavor to give the public something it needs. To control more than one industry; to give wholesale employment to those who need it; preach thrift and set the example by being thrifty. This is one solution to the puzzle: 'Our rights as citizens.' The last war taught all people more concerning money than they had ever dreamed. The feeling of owning something or being a part of something, in many instances it something more vital, something more vital, the awakening of what has been termed the 'money consciousness.' We are all witnesses in the affect now, quite pronounced in the national capital. To have awakened, without the "pep" to hustle is the dangerous point, it is the breeder of criminals. The step for ard, therefore, is a severe one and a hard one, the road is full of pitfalls and it is only the brave and courageous among us who will attempt the trip.

This sort of an organization deserves three cheers."

BY GEORGE ENDOM TAYLOR NEW YORK, March 6—Never before in the history of the city has the white and colored population; with one accord, paid such a profound tribute to its hero-dead as on last Wednesday when thousands mounted the young colored detective sergeant. Regardless of creed or color men and women stood in snow and slush, facing a chilly wind for hours while the long silent lines passed. The occasion seemed as much as honorable triumph as one of funeral rites as muffled expression as one of the dense and solid walls of humanity that packed the streets through which the long parade slowly moved.

The following white detectives under Captain Schoenol, acted as honorary pallbearers: Winterhatter, Mahoney, Connigh, Hulme, Malee, Peeble, Shallig, Nelson, Majewski, Scott, Butler, McFarland. Then came the line of colored reserves under Captain Richard White. Next were the lines of the Imperial Lodge. The young Duncan brothers, funeral directors, were highly complimented for the way they handled the crowd. The services were held in Grace Congregational Church and the inment made in Woodlawn cemeteries. Bedding's Rise Wesley C.

What is perhaps one of the most significant developments in the Negro church of today is the community idea in church service being developed by Booneville Temple in Newark under the leadership of Dr. S. J. Corrothers. This idea has made the church become a receiving station for all the migrants from the South, has been made a place where all unemployed men, regardless of color, or creed, can find a free dinner every day, and has introduced the church as a constructive and educational institution, political and social movements in Northern New Jersey. The fact that a large committee of fifty-seven prominent citizens, white and colored, has just completed plans for a wide drive in the interests of the temple, has brought the entire work of the church to the top of the agenda. The large white dallies in New York and Newark, the New York World having sent over a special reporter and photographer to describe the work in its widely circulated and extremely influential Sunday edition, has made the largest business man in Newark, heads the above committee. Several of the city officials are associated with him in this effort. The temple, under the forceful leadership of Dr. Corrothers, and because of the ever widening influence, has bided fair to become a good church in every large city in the country. COLUMBUS, O.

Box 11, Atokz, Okla Warning is again issued to race folks who seem to have a careless disregard for the care of the eyes. Dr. Samuel H. Marcus, optometrist, 345 Fifth avenue, says: "If the eyes feel strained glasses should be worn to rest the nerves and to conserve the nerve energy for other parts of the body. A defective vision requires more nerve power through the eyes similarly as an engine consumes more fuel for the labor required. Men engaged in mills, factories, and shops seem somewhat indifferent to the value of the eyes and permit their vision to become very much impaired before the thought of protecting them takes hold. People in commercial institutions and schools are giving more attention to the eyes than ever before, while there should be something to arouse the public in general to the need of an examination before the sight becomes too badly impaired. The expense of examinations are now reduced to terms that if their expenses have been too high in other matters provisions have been made by a part payment plan. However, there is another feature and that is to avoid the use of cheap glass. We realize that the majority of our people neglect their eyes very often because they can not afford to get a proper eye examination and glasses and pay for it in one payment. But neglect of the eyes is not necessary when THE BLACKSTONE OPTICAL CO., with offices at 345 Fifth avenue, Room 402 Blackstone Building, having Dr. S. H.

Color is the rock on which this country will, one day, split into seething, fighting units, unless some intelligent agency saves it from the present day color frenzy. After all the magnificent work done at the Washington Conference on Limitation of Armaments, and after all the worldwide import given to the results of that meeting of world minds on world subjects, we are confronted with the possibility of seeing all that work thrown to the ground as so much objectionable rubbish. Our Congress is trying to enact some kind of immigration law to prevent an undue flood into this country of persons who can never become Americans. The Japanese were shut out emphatically by the phraseology of a certain clause in the bill. Secretary Hughes objected to the clause; and gave as his reason his fear that to adopt the clause might destroy the work of the Disarmament Conference, at least so far as Japan is concerned. The anti-Japanese journals of the country answered Mr. Hughes ir. no uncertain language. They want it understood that the "clause" means Japan just as much as language can be made to convey meaning. Disarmament or no Disarmament, the colorphobias of this country want Japan shut out; and they employ language almost insulting to convey their feeling. Mr. Hughes is correct in his position. He says the Japanese are concerned. He asks that they be treated under the general provisions of the bill, and not singled out for insult. Mr. Hughes will be remembered for his humanitarian position. After all, the question is not one of race or color. It is a human question, and this country cannot preach World Democracy one year and inhumanity the next. If this country is allowed to cultivate colorphobia and race hatred, with Japan as the object of its attack, it will be but a question of a few years when the whole sentiment will find its way into other countries where darker people live. We will never convince the Philippines that we intend giving them independence as long as we practice such an attitude toward another of the darker people. The American conscience has been so fed up on the color and race question, with the Negro as the victim, until almost every policy proposed must await a verdict at the hands of the colorphobia court before it can be adopted as a part of our national program. If this country is the BIG country it likes to say it is; if this country is the STRONG country it says it is; if this country is satisfied with its physical boundary, as it claims to be, then why so much fear of the color of another man's skin? Race consciousness too highly developed will win more enemies than friends. The world began with but one kind of humanity. It will close with just that one kind. Fight as we may, we are either God's one and only one man made in HIS likeness; or our civilization is all rot. Humanity will forever remain supreme; but color, never. Pullman Porters Unionize He always felt that at the proper time Negro would enter the ranks of oath-honored agitators and social worker-zealers that the Negro must first be usefulness before he could expect by other labor groups. He also knew that when he was he would not still hang a to take him in, but his self-respect automatically arise and he would hit alone. Then the other groups were giving his power and influence and he has been most abundantly justified. Not only have they proved that they have become a fixed part of Amers and electricians are fixed part of news that the Pullman porters will hours and more pay is welcoming could get them. The public knows and that he is entitled to a general American Federation of Labor patent power in the porters' rank it by asking the porters to becom the porters to perfect their organics temperately and wisely, and we losers thereby. WE HAVE always felt that at the proper time the American Negro would enter the ranks of organized labor. Although agitators and social worker-zalets to the contrary, we knew that the Negro must first demonstrate his CAPACITY for usefulness before he could expect to be taken in and recognized by other labor groups. And we also knew that when he demonstrated that capacity, he would not still hang after and beg other groups to take him in, but his self-respect and self-interest would spontaneously arise and he would hit the trail to organized effort alone. Then the other groups would see the advantage of having his power and influence and bid for his support. Our faith has been most abundantly justified by the Pullman porters. Not only have they proved their capacity for service, but they have become a fixed part of American life, just as steel workers and electricians are fixed parts of industrial life. So the news that the Pullman porters will unionize and demand shorter hours and more pay is welcome. Everybody knows they should get them. The public knows the porter has been faithful and that he is entitled to a generous reward for his labor. The American Federation of Labor will, in time, recognize the latent power in the porters' ranks, and seek to avail itself of it by asking the porters to become an affiliated union. We urge the porters to perfect their organization and make their demands temperately and wisely, and we feel sure they will not be the losers thereby. Simplify the Return Blanks WE HAVE just been notified that the United States Government has been collecting too much income tax from its citizens and corporations. Indeed, it appears that the dear government had to return to certain taxpayers the huge sum of one hundred and twenty-three million, nine hundred and ninety-two thousand and eight hundred and twenty dollars. Enough cash to start a city! The Treasury Department, in making known its action, informed the country that the refund had to be made because the persons and corporations enjoying the refund had been overtaxed. The over-taxation was caused by "illegal or erroneously collected taxes." And it is this illegal collecting and this erroneously collecting that the taxpayer faces every time he makes out his income tax return and mails it to the government. It is very evident, after perusing the list of corporations and persons receiving the refund, that the method of calculating incomes and taxes due the government on those incomes, is too intricate for THE PITTSBURGH GUERLER IN 19 HERE HOW CHI THINK OF YOUR SERVICE? natician.

To one man alone, the now famous Mr. Doheny, the sum of $40,000 was refunded. This is the man whose company paid to Mr. McAdoo the monumental fee of $100,000 for professional services. Perhaps Mr. McAdoo should have been consulted on the return of income rather than on oil investments. Another example is that of the wealthy Mr. Vanderbilt, who was returned almost fifty-eight thousand dollars. There were 263,832 persons and corporations paid back money "illegally or erroneously collected" by the government. Shall we say that the persons, possibly the attorneys, for Mr. Vanderbilt, made a fifty-seven thousand dollar error in making out the Vanderbilt return? Shall we say that the attorneys for Mr. Doheny made a $40,000 mistake or error? What shall we say of the thousands of taxpayers who sent in returns just as incorrect as the return of Mr. Vanderbilt, only involving so small an amount as not to disclose error or warrant investigation? How much has the government lost by the errors? Or, how much has the government gained by the errors? Only a little over $123,922,000 has been discovered to have been illegally or erroneously collected. How much more, no one knows. If Mr. Mellon can simplify the income tax return sheets; if he can make them possible of understanding, even for the attorneys for the Vanderbiltls, et al, the poor man may be encouraged to tell the truth and make an honest return, feeling at the time, that he understands what he is doing; and knows it to be correct.

Homely Philosophy By Georgia Douglas Johnson is apparently without price is; in fact, most dear. In the background of the principal of paying for things is the stalwart greed of honesty, and transversely of kindness. In the same way, something thing for nothing, dislikes there is naught to be gained by the latter method; everything by the former. The scale of human actions balance eventually and you pay a hundred-fold on the morrow for the thing taken gratis to day. There are things you pay for, paid for, everything—time! You cannot get something for nothing. Something for nothing. Do you get something for nothing? You can't Free things count in measurably more than those of obvious price, nor not lose to pay the stated price you pay in exchange for the thing and pay exorbitantly later on? There are many souls paying and paying and keep on paying some valueless trifle taken in ignorance of the secret price it entailed. It is well to know that one must command the prices, and that which Whatnot Column By Robert P. Edwards (For A. N. P.) Who, was Gen. Rufus Saxon? General Rufus Saxon was the first officer to receive official authority to enlist Negroes as soldiers. On August 18, 1869, the Secretary of War, William T. Dearborn, to the Department of the South and organize 5,000 troops of "African descent," which were to be designated for service in garrisons not in danger of attack by the enemy, to relieve white regiments whose terms of enlistment had expired. wagher, when he was the 54th Medal of Honor. When the 54th Medal of Honor, under command of Col. Shar, stormed Fort Wagner, the regimental colors were entrusted to W. H. Carney, a young sergeant. At the gallant-garrison, ascended the wall of the fort the ranks were full, but as they reached the top, they melted away before the enemy's fire, leaving severe wound in the thigh, but falling upon his knees he quickly planted the flag upon the parapet, and lay down on the outer slope for shelter. Carney with a death grip on the flagstaff held it erect for over an hour, and despite that he was later shot in the head held on until he was beaten by another officer. When he was beaten, he must have a brigade of his comrades, on the tow, to the field hospital, he partly raised up and cried; "Boys, the old flag never touched the ground." What incident took place when the fish incident colored regiment receive its flags? The first 'colored' regiment, raised in New Orleans; after remaining in camp, for about six months, were quite efficient in the use of arms. Its commanding officer, Col. Stafford, being disabled, they were placed unarmed on the ground of Gribbins. Before the regiment left the officers assembled at the quarters of Col. Stafford, where the colored guard marched up to receive the regimental flags. Col. Stafford made a speech full of patriotism and feeling and concluded by saying: "Colored for the defense of the country did not, but do not surrender these flags." The reply of the sergeant was "Colonel, I will bring, back these colors to you, in honor, or report to God the reason why."

Mrs. Bettie Mae Nychkeha. THE-DIGEST BACK in the fifties in American general introduced an ancient Nippon to the modern world. Since that time Japan has stepped out from her long seclusion and become one of the Big Four nations of the earth. In the seventies she humbled Russia and proved herself a national hero. She threatened to rescue Germany from Foch and Pershing; and in 1921 she was one of the signers of the Four-Power treaty at the International Conference for Disarmament at Washington. The rise of Japan has given no little worry to our statesmen and near-statesmen who make a fetish of "preparedness" and "national defense." The yellow petal becomes a cry at Pacific Coast citizens shudder. As a result of this propaganda and fear Japanese are prohibited from owning land in California, not because they "train" or "degrade" it, but because they get more from it than their white neighbors. It has been proposed in Congress that Japanese immigration be limited to certain dents, ministers of religion, tourists, merchants, etc., will be allowed to enter, and they cannot remain permanently. The unhappy part about this is the discrimination between the Japs and other European immigrants. European immigration is merely restricted, and not excluding it, but critically superior to his own both intellectually and industrially, hence the rice of Japan is being aroused. Although this country gave bountifully to the earthquake sufferers, the feeling of empathy was not removed. It was merely salved for the time being. It will not be surprising if some fine day this emulator hate bursts into flame and engulf us all in a new world war. ON MARCH 5, 1770, there fell on the Boston Common a Negro, Crispus Attucks, who was fighting in defense of the colonists against the British. At that time the Negro race was a negligible factor in American life; but the death of Attucks, as one of the first for American independence, and similar subsistence, members of his race, the Revolution, caused strong pressure to be exerted for the early freedom of the slaves. Today we honor the memory of Attucks as symbolical of our racial faith in our country, and as representing the move we will always make when the security of the nation is threatened. AS OUR commercial class progresses along the highway, we will learn many lessons from experience. It will learn to place a premium on honesty, integrity and good-will. It will learn to be hesitant and thorough, cautious and frugal. These are the qualities that make for dependable success, stable success. These are the qualities that keep aged people in business and for the quarter-century, a half-century, a century that cause them to rise above the level of a mere shopping center and become a fixed institution in the lives of its patrons. Such deep-rooted reputations are not quickly made. They start humbly, and grow because of care, dedication and attention. We grow because of the following statement on the climbing of the business ladder: When one seeks the causes of the development of a great business concern or an event in a store, one is apt to find that the road it has traversed has been illuminated by lofty ideals, ballasted with sound fundamental principles and safe-guarded with well advised policies. (One finds, too, that ideals have been fostered principles that need to be adhered to with sincerity, patience and consistency, coupled with a roadiness to blaze new paths or construct new highways to keep up with the progression in time and business. We find here wisdom gained by long experience. The wise business man will take these dry, old-fashioned remarks seriously, and govern himself accordingly. WE ARE no longer shocked and thrilled by the various antics and spectacular dashes of Mr. Marcus Garvey. Indeed, we the people of him the most, and many years he held the center of the stage, was the main show and did the side acts too, but now his acts have become stale and he has been relegated to the rear. For the past few months, during a dormant period, when the air was not surcharged with special pleading in his behalf on account of alleged persecution, we have had a chance to reflect on the man as he is. Aside from the racial consciousness and racial awakening in the white establishment in the wake he is coming more and more prepostestous. The settling of the general turmoil following the World war has caused the "Back to Africa" phrase to be dismissed with a smile. Since his release from the Tombs prison last summer Mr. Garvey has floated along or his merits. For a time he held forth on the fact that he had been uninvolved in the war and was weary. Then it was that he was forced to stand alone. He no longer had a special cause. The Black Star Line was bankrupt. He couldn't take people to Africa without ships. The Liberian loan bubble had burst. He couldn't fall back on that to collect more funds. He was not only bankrupt in money, but he was bankrupt in ideas. As then that we saw Mr. Garvey as Marous Garvey, and not as the incidental race-patriot and race-martyr. After all of his soaring he finally came back to earth and wrote this in a solemn creed for himself and his followers: The Universal Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. I believe the Negro race is as good as any other and, therefore, should be as proud of itself as others. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals, and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the romance of the past, and it believes in the first paragraph is what made the movement. The last paragraph is what is killing it. Had the Negro public been as intelligent four years ago as it is today there would have never been a Garvey movement. We freely admit that this "Moses" educated the masses up to where they were capable of understanding and rejecting the last part of his program. We have caused the Negro to behold himself. He has caused the Negro to strive to make his own condition better. But up doing that he also gave to the Negro the club with which to slay Garvey the man. For in considering himself the Negro thought of Booker Washington's apt remark: "Cast down your bucket where you are," and that was the beginning of the end of Marcus Garvey. RUMORS are about that Roland Hayes, our own internationally famous tenor, who sailed abroad on February 6, will renounce his American citizenship and marry an English beauty. To put it more plainly, it is said Mr. Hayes will become a British sub- Barring Orientals Crispus Attucks Business Policies Mr. Garvey Fades SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1924 ject and marry a white woman. Of course, we do believe this. We think it me mere newspaper talk, not factured by inference—because Hayes was back England, and because he is still single. In a special interview published in The Courier on January 11, Hayes said he was not thinking of getting married. Nevertheless, we feel constrained to say further on the "rumor," since it has gotten about, would be most unwise for Mr. Hayes to take this even if he had personally announced his intention doing so. The reasons are obvious. He would himself forever, bath with his own people and whites, and that would mean the ruin of one of most promising careers the Negro has evolved in history of our musical achievements. Whether fair or unfair, Negroes have content to place where they have a healthy contempt for we people us such; and, of course, people who Negroes, who make it a practice to associate with not of their own race. The enmity is mutual. I Negro man achieves and goes outside his own: for a mate, all colored women take it as an insult, a white woman accepts a Negro man, she is a outset. Individuals accept a public, but the public can make an individual business if it is instrumental in elevating that it vidual. With these checks on both sides such are dangerous, except for couples who are content to come into public notice. "Son," wrote Hayes' mother to him in London, "singing for the king is all right, but remember, we are not to tell to treasure his now ceased mother's admonition. He will do well to member who he is." RESIDENTIAL segregation is a thing that must fought with all our might—everywhere. Our lives are at stake when such lines of demarcation are threatened in the courts of Louisiana, KY, was carried to the U.S. Court. It was decided that Negroes could not be regated by city ordinance. At present, in Baltimore and Washington, new methods have been origin in an effort to nullify or evade the Supreme Court decision. The latest trick takes the form of a childlike form of property transferred, which the buying party is not told. Negroes the Supreme Court will doubtless get a new case, subject. There are any number of reasons why this base ville form of prescription should be fought to the last. The Baltimore Sam, a white paper, has the case in exceedingly just terms: "Negroes can be forced to remain in certain streets. Not only would such enforcement be of questionable legality, but it would be bring about an turn to those conditions from which we are in emerging. The tuberculosis rate among the coered folk is now so high as to constitute a city of all, it should be in the way of providing more space, not less space for them. Residential segregation is common in the S (Another reason why so many migrants are in North). Down there the whites simply "take the parts of the city, whether by law or not, and the Negroes are (of least place) in the uninviting sections of the city. This is what we must labor against in the Tricky laws can do by fraud and forgery South is doing by force. Our very lives are at in this fight and we must follow through to the E AST night we sat through a presentation of "anne, the rural Southern comedy drama by Bagby Stephens, at the Shubert-Pitt Theater, but here is a good play, strictly true and few notable characters, by Negro life the parts are played by Negro characters. Char Gilpin is in the leading role, and is able support Rose McClendon and Evelyn Ellis. Gilpin does have a chance to show his true ability until the act. He looks and acts the part that was meant for the Emperor Jones. Rose Romaine, does not act in the evening. We seen Miss Ellis at a better advantage with the fayette players in New York. The theme of "Bosanne" deals with Negro congions who worship their pastor instead of their. This will have a rather unwelcome reaction on day collection plates, for it is practically certain that the congregation revolt against preachers in general. And this not be altogether the improper thing to do, at until the ministers somewhat reform themselves point more toward health and happiness on this than picturing everything in the 'beyond' and while thought strictly outward was the closing of 2 in Act II, when Bosanne rushed into the churp preacher, and the congregation turns a mob, got a rope and went on a lynching party, is the part that betrays the author as being whistle records on 30 years of lynching, reporting Negro mobbists. But the idea is: conserved that white mobbists, especially in Georgia, and it was the conscious mind psychology which actuated the act the play at this stage and caused her to make N do on the stage what they would not have done; but he was similarly situated, would imagine to either a Negro or a men their own race. Negroes in the rural South almost always fall on the law to right their wrongs. In some of their affairs are almost the only excuse for making a (white) constable or sheriff. Reddy might shot the preacher, with a shotgun personally, could never have gotten a crowd to go after him, could not have been able to convince that it acts on impulses and not deliberately—in graffers. The playwright had to make the show dre we realize, but it should have been with a more useful regard for truth. WE WATCHED with no little interest the of a few Communists, backed by a white minister newspaper, The Worker, to som break up the Sanhedrin in Chicago. It is a seran the element of the delegates disburbs did not get the upper hand and be shown sometimes illly parade and parade them presenting the vote of the Chicago meet. And, of course, "the workers" are now since they were thwarted in their plants sending out news releases saying "capitalist and "moneyed Negroes", by "machine rule," helps selves in power. This is purely Red propaganda are not enough "moneyed Negroes" in the to designate them as a class. And even if that is not what this propaganda is interested wants to poison the_Negro mind with the changing the basic system of this government that we are all agreed.
