P.)—Frank Edwards of Charlotte has has his stepfather, Jim Hampton, arrested, claiming that the skeleton found near this town four weeks ago is that of his mother and that Hampton contrived to get rid of her in order that he might marry the woman who is his wife now. Deputies have set out for Knoxville to bring Hampton to this city although there is some doubt expressed as to whether the skeleton is actually that of Edwards mother. Police say that a pair of trousers was found on the bones and that a hair in a comb nearby suggested that the skeleton was probably that of a white person. Edwards claimed he identified the bones as those of his mother by certain trinkets found with them which his mother owned. There is a suspicion that Edwards wishes to prove the woman dead in order to collect insurance.

School Authorities Blamed According to persons in the "know", it will be a long time, if ever, before Howard University will receive the amount needed to enlarge the school of medicine at the University. It is said that the apparent lack of unity among officials of the University has greatly embattled the university of the Department of the Interior, for he made a strong recommendation for the additional appropriation for the school, and to Senators of the committee who have fought for the measure. CHICAGO, Ill., March 13—The Pullman porters' movement for an independent organization received its greatest impetus whe the legislative representative of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and engineers met R.

Following the initial meeting in Chicago which will be addressed by some of the leading executives of railway organizations, here will be regular meetings held in various parts of the country during the period of three months, at each of which a representative of the standard labor organizations will be present to advise and urge the men to organize and to affiliate with the Railway Men's International Benet Ricks' Enemies Still Active In ChurchScandal NEWARK, N.J. Mar. 18.—The form the state uses to govern its statewide murder, has, passed its crisis, and the citizens of the city, by virtue of their support to the banner of Rev. Edgar E. Ricks, are giving the lie to the scandal story anoint, Rev. Ricks and a member of the church, which 'caused a seven-days' sensation in the newspapers. Enemies of Dr. Ricks have carried their efforts to defame Rev. Ricks so far that public sentiment is swinging in his favor. This was emphasized last Sunday, when, more than 40 members of the church that did not venerate itself" gathered at the Roosevelt Memorial temple, together with hundreds of friends and sympathizers. Ricks' Enemies Active. One of the most cowardly acts perpetrated since the scandal was first aired, occurred Sunday afternoon, just before the services, when enemies of Dr. Ricks scattered obscene and vulgar cards, littering the street in front of the temple, announcing that Ricks would speak and intimidating the charges for which he fused trial. Resentment over the cards reached fever-heat here Sunday, evening, and summary vengeance was threatened if the person or persons scattering the cards, became known.

It is belic ' that the Pullman Company in an effort to influence the Portors will cite the fact that that Company is employing Negroes in its shops in large numbers, under th' claim that this policy is the result of the company's fairness to the Race, rather than the result of economic conditions and the restrictions on immigration. While the portors are pleased to know that conditions make it possible for men of the race to receive such employment, the fact remains that the wages paid portors for the services they render, are inadequate to meet the portors' economic needs. Also the fact that the Pullman Company has widely advertised the 8% increase which is less than 16 cents a day to each 'orter, has seriously effected the source of income derived from tips, because of the false impression riven 'the public. Name of Girl Who Was Attacked When She Answered "Employment" Ad Withheld. The operations of a white fiend who for some time has been preying on young girls in his office in a downtown building are expected to come to a sudden end with the completion of a trap which has been impaired by police power. The man's arrest is imminent, police say, and the expose of such a character will be one of the most important arrests made in recent history. The chain of evidence that has been linked together around the nich fiend reached its end during the past week when another mother reported to police that her daughter had suffered a brutal assault when she implicated her in the man's offence. Police are withholding the girl's name at the request of the mother. The unscrupulous scheme employed by the man was revealed by the mother. She said her daughter had been sent to the paper for a girl to do office work, and the mother, pany with the mother, the man said the girl might go to work immediately and that it would not be necessary for the mother to remain. The salary promised to the girl was temptingly large and she eagerly accepted the position. The mother had gone but a few moments when the friend seized the girl and attacked her. The mother was building and told her mother, who reported it to police. According to their records, similar cases have been reported.

Died at Age of 77. The news of the death of Montgomery, carried to all sections of the country. Wednesday afternoon stunned a race which for years had observed, marvelled and pointed to with pride at the concrete achievement of one of their group. Seven years past, the allotted three score and ten, Montgomery died at the age of 77, following a short illness. His three daughters notified of his death by telegram, had rushed to his bedside and were with him as the Grim Reaper called. Mingled With Celebrities. Montgomery held many positions of honor and trust in his home state, Mississippi. At one time he was a member of the legislature, the Constitutional Convention, and was a real power in Republican politics. His masterly address before the United States Commission in New York, which won the Mississippi Levee, stamped him as an orator, diplomat and speaker of unusual power. He was home secretary to Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, and spoke on the same platform with Theodore Roosevelt at the 100th anniversary celebration of Abraham Lincoln's birthplace in Kentucky on February 12, 1909.

His letter states in part: A Suggestion “It is all very well and good for our .students to study--about Igna- tius, Pepin and Count d’Artois, but it is immensely more important to attack the vital everyday problems and dispose of them. I agree’ also that Nogrd schools must have the same curricala as white schools. ‘nevertheless our schools must have more than that if we are to help a benightéd people. The larger uni- versities are attacking present, day problems of civilization by adding ‘numerous modern courses to their curricula and climinating muny of ‘the ancient ideas on education. “Negro schools must definitely link up ‘with the condition of the ‘masses and through intelligent pub- licity control the thinking appara- tus of the man farthest down. In- stead of ‘taking an abstract, pro- vinefal, and hypothetical point of view, the college professor through the Associated Negro Press, and thropgh various business and fra- ternal organizations should extri- cate hhimsclf from his ‘academic en- vironment and sce whether what he is tenching is hitting the mark.” 5 Race Congress Meet Advanced To April 29 WASHINGTON, D.

These plays will be presented to the Trenton public in early spring and the period following Lent.

It may be of interest to the readers to know that Mr. Graham, who is an active worker in community interests and a prominent member of the Bachelor-Benedict's club, is largely responsible for the establishment and existence of the Trenton Dramatic club. It will be remembered that last year this club presented to the public in various cities of the state a drama called the "The Finger of Scorn." The success of this production under the direction of Mr. Graham was evident by the fact that it was rendered fifteen times and further requests are still on record. The stellar roles in the proposed plays will be represented by Mrs. H. L Jamison and Miss Edith Moten, respectively, supported by Edward L. Lennard, John Hopkins, S. S. Dade, H. Hill, A. Hill, P.

Home Building. "During the past six years thousands of Negroes have bought lots in and around Charleston, Huntington, Beckley and other towns in the State with the intent of erecting homes thereon. Most of these persons bought the lots on the installment plan and it will take them years to save enough money to pay for building a modest home. In order to meet this great need, two building and loan associations have been formed by Negroes with the capital of $225,000.00. One is located at Charleston and the other at Beckley. These associations are teaching the Negro thrift, and, with the money of those in position to invest and the savings of those who pay on installment stock from to to many Negroes are enabled to build homes otherwise would be reserved for many years or all of their lives. These two associations are but a drop in in the bucket of actual needs, but they are long steps in the right direction and others are sure to be organized as the home ownership and thrift campaigns being conducted by this office and through other agencies impress the people with the usefulness of building and Joan associations in aiding the wage earner to acquire a home.

For the first time in many years the aged man saw the outside of the prison walls Tuesday, but only the sternest business could command his presence outside the enclosure where he spent his youth, his years of labor and toll and where he is now spending his old age. He was a witness before the grand jury in the indicting of five men for murdering two guards at the prison during the dynamiting plot last month. "I've been down there so long," the old man said, in a peculiar high-pitched voice, "that the penitentiary is home for me now." Deputy wardens, deputy sheriffs and personnel were permitted in the gate room where the prisoners were waiting the call to go before the jury, gathered about to hear the old man's story. "Doing time in the penitentiary" sources of $50,000.00 and a reserve of equal amount has been recently formed by Negroes of this State and is doing a splendid business. This is the first insurance company ever organized and operated by Negroes in West Virginia and thousands of dollars which have heretofore gone to companies outside of this state will remain here to be invested in bonds of Negro enterprises and first mortgages on real estate owned by Negroes. "In real estate, development and mortgage companies formed during the period covered by this statement $125,000.00 have been invested; mercantile companies—$95,000.00; business connected with fraternities and institutions—$300,000.00; insurance—$20,000.00. Not being content to merely look after the living and give over the buoying of the dead to others, two Negro undertaking and embalming companies were incorporated with capital of $15,000. and our reports indicate that both of them are doing a thriving business. Kanawha County leads with ten of the corporations; McDowell County has five; Raleigh and Mercer three; each; Ohio, Cabell, Harrison; Marshall and Fayette have have one each. "All of the corporations covered in this statement are doing business and none of them have conducted a state-wide stock selling campaign either by letters or through agents. Except in the case of hotels and theatres, these figures do not cover drug and grocery stores and theatres. The state has started by individual Negroes during the past two years and which are still being operated by them. "The Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics has encouraged and aided in the formation of a number of Negro business enterprises to serve special needs of the Race and the reports in its office indicate that the Negroes of West Virginia are undergoing an economic awakening which will increase the present rate of employment in far greater development of all classes of business and the ownership of more and better homes and farms."

Allen is passable to see his many friends at any of these services. these days is like playing house to what it was when I was a young fello, and first went in," the old man said. "The first time I ever saw the inside of the penitentiary was one nice morning 'way back in 1869. No matter what for, but I was sent in for 30 years. I served 25 of them, and the first 15 years of that time I never saw a human face except the man that handed my food in through the bars to me. Washing days were days of great pleasure, for a man got out to walk a piece, but they pulled a bag over your head before you stepped out of the cell and you saw nothing at all. And just think of how men carry on like these men did, with the grand way we are treated now," he said. Jasper said that he learned to read and write while a prisoner. "Education didn't do me much good," he said, "for when I got out I went to forgin checks and back I went again. Oh, well," he sighed, "the penitentiary bad so bad these days. I like it to'able well now." Near Riot Staged In Hill District; Several Wounded Near Riot Staged In Hill District; Several Wounded A near riot was staged on Sunday at 1925 Bedford avenue, according to police, who state that one Mrs. Joseph Chizek (white), 40 years old, accidentally stopped on the fingers of little Ethel George, 9 years old, who was playing in front of her home. The child screamed and her parents ran to the street. Members of both races rushed to the scene and became involved in an argument. Blows were struck and weapons drawn as the crowd grew. In a short time the battle was waging furiously. One white man and a colored man drew rioters. Both escaped with the crowd which fled before police could make any arrests. William Crosby, 32 years old, colored, of 1925 Bedford avenue, was arrested on the scene and taken to the Center avenue police station in connection with the disorder. A score of persons with their faces and hands cut and bleeding fled before police arrived, according to persons in the vicinity who watched the battle from windows. It is estimated that at least 20 persons were hurt. Police and detectives are making an effort to ascertain the identity of persons who took part in the fracas. THE INVESTED ROBERT S.

Surrounded by a nucelus of the old men who made the American Giants of 1920-21 a feared team, and with the material which Dis- miukes first picked a winning com. bination from at Central Park, the club has added several new faces, Which, it is believed, will give the club, the necessary hitting strength Central Park Obtained Central Park has been obtained from former ‘owner Williams; Sell Hall now holding the lease on the grounds, and as soon as the weath: ler permits, work on the reconstruc. tion of the grandstand, playing field and bleachers, will be’ started.

Cleveland Hopes To Have Ball Club In National League CLEVELAND, 0., March 13— Long worked out plans for a local team in the Negro National League have about been completed and it is almost a certainty that the Cleve- land Browns, the new club, will be represented in the Foster circuit. A syndicate of young business men have placed $4,000 behind the new enterprise and an additional $3,000 will be raised to put it on a firm financial footing. A long term lease ‘on Hooper Field, formerly Known as ‘Tate field. has been negotiated and Geo. R. Hooper, the wealthy owner of that park, is co-operating ent siastically with the effort to put the Fifth City back in baseball in a big ax. He plans to put in between 300 and 400 new box seats and Breatly enlarge the bleachers. None of the old owners of the Tate Stars fare connected with this movement. Sol White, veteran baseball play- ex, is to be manager and expects to be able io announce some classy players, who will be here, in the next week or so. Several star play- ers, who were with the Eastern League last year, are practically lined up. Probably not over three or four of the old Tate players will be in local uniforms this season. L. I.

And thus we see old another point in its great ar WE NOTE that the M. E. Church, white, has yielded to the "will of the people" and has withdrawn its former ruling with respect to card playing and dancing among its members. The surrender, in order to have some degree of justification, permits the members to determine for themselves whether they should play cards or dance. The hope was expressed that the "liberty given the members" will not serve as a license, but will place the members on their honor not to violate what is known to be the "wishes of the church," as it were. We express no surprise that the people have won another victory. The people generally win, because, in the final analysis of things, the people rule. This is true no less in church than in state. The church organization holds to certain regulations as long as there is any effort made on the part of the members to observe the regulations. But when it becomes notorious that the members are making burlesque of the regulations, then there is found a way to relax the regulations to the point where the conduct of the members will not do violence to the rules. The church yields, in almost every instance. It is a sad commentary that the church should yield. It is a sad admission that the people are rebuilding the church, but they are. If they want to dance, they simply dance until the church admits that it is better to "permit dancing" than to lose the members. This practice is extended to cards with the same results. It will be extended to the next past time which seizes the people as have cards and dancing; and the church will, in all probability, yield to the next craze. Gradually, but steadily, the discipline is being eaten out of the church organization—simply because the people will not be disciplined beyond the point of their own selfish comforts and pleasures. One organization has said: you may play cards and dance—if you will, although we prefer that you do not. The result: They will play cards and dance. And thus we see the church organization yield another point in its great argument against sin. 12 Miles Out—! this country is in the throes of hard work, what kind of hysteria, either. And for some kind of excitement, with upon some mission of crime, the signs of the morning and sets the world a past few years, we have been trying to that the Eighteenth Amendment, as the will of the people of the United States succeeded is shown by the numerous: the number of deaths of persons as a substitute for liquor, a letter and spirit of the law by personal personal desires than they do, as this country is on the books, it is on earth.

It seems a shame that you give to the run running boats you earned money we can find, when which to pay a soldier bonus, nor without an enormous income tax.

Moonshiners have good as we are buying from John's a kind of tolerance, with a touch of new. Already, we are turning out the Volstead law. It is but a question of meeting with the boats 12 miles our moment will be as dead in spirit as the JUST now this country is in the throes of hysteria. It does not matter what kind of hysteria, either. The country is simply mad for some kind of excitement. If the mob does not launch forth upon some mission of crime, then wild gossip takes the wings of the morning and sets the world agog—about nothing. For the past few years, we have been trying to make the people believe that the Eighteenth Amendment, to the Constitution represents the will of the people of the United States. Just how well we have succeeded is shown by the number of arrests of drunken persons: the number of deaths of persons who use poison concoctions as a substitute for liquor, as well as the violations of the letter and spirit of the law by persons who think more of their own personal desires than they do the laws. As "Dry" as this country is on the books, it is about as wet as any country on earth. It is not so alarming that it is wet because it is easier to evade the Eighteenth Amendment after so many years of evasion of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments; but it is alarming that the people do not object to sending all their money into other countries for the very same liquor that this country once made and sold to its own citizens and the world at a huge profit. It seems a shame that we should allow our citizens to give to the rum running boats just 12 miles out all the hard-carned money we can find, when we cannot find money with which to pay a soldier bonus, nor the expenses of government without an enormous income tax. Surely, British ships must laugh at our consistency. We forbid Americans having light wines and beer under the laws of the land, just because a few neurotics think the country is "dry." And yet we full well we are spending millions every year in other lands for higher-priced liquors than this country ever manufactured. At one time liquor was the exclusive luxury of the wealthy; but now, any man with the price can find the supply. Law enforcement loses heart in the face of foreigners getting rich over night by selling to thirsty Americans an inferior brand of beverages. Moonshiners have little to fear if they make us good as we are buying from John Bull, et al. Indeed, there is a kind of tolerance, with a touch of local pride, for the home brew. Already, we are turning out "aged" liquor made since the Volstead law. It is but a question of time, when we will be competing with the boats 12 miles out, and the Eighteenth Amendment will be as dead in spirit as the Fifteenth.

To seek political office is to expose one's self to public gaze, and the public gazes steadily and with sincerity. When the governor was a candidate for his present office, he was telling the people what his platform would be. He was telling the voters what he would do and what we would not go. He was the typical candidate, with his mouth filled with promises, some too trivial to have any meaning, while others were too extreme in character to deserve serious thought. Perhaps the one promise he made as a candidate, which, since he cost him more popularity than all of his official errors, was the promise to put every one of his appointees under a pledge to him personally. Almost every one who heard the pre-election statement thought it one of the many campaign statements made to attract hearsay, but too impracticable to be enforced.

Completing her course in Spelman in 1888, an urgent call came for her to go to Africa, where she labored until 1893, being compelled to return home in that year. In 1895, her health being restored, she was married to Rev. S. C. Gordon and again returned to the Congo. 106. Who was the first colored man whose signature made money of worthless paper?

Indeed—"Gratitude is a flower that seldom blooms in the garden where it is planted." What was, The Freshmens' Bureau? "The Freshmens' Bureau" was created by an act of Congress, March 31, 1805. Its work extended far beyond education, embracing abandonment with food and clothing. Gen. Howard was appointed Commissioner. The Bureau founded many schools in localities which had been in the line of the Union armies, and these with the others established by its agency, were placed under some systematic supervision. In some states schools were carried on entirely by aid of the funds of the Bureau, but it had the co-operation and assistance of religious and benevolent societies. 105. Wbw was Nora Garden. 105.

WILDER HOUWAY 24 EDITOR'S MAIL Editor, The Pittsburgh Courier: I assure you that the Alumni of Howard University, and fatiminded men everywhere, will applaud your judicial attitude in the recent misunderstanding concerning the appropriations for the medical school. Your publication of Prof. Kelly Miller's explanation will set the public right upon this important issue. I have searched the record of the Senate and find that President Durke was the author of the compromise on the $500,000 for the medical department. On page 35 of the Senate hearings on the interior department bill Dr. Durkee said that all that he insisted upon was the item of $207,500 for maintenance. Senator Phipps then asked a series of questions to bring out the necessity of the half million for medical school (pages 36-37), but Dr. Durkee left the stand insisting upon the maintenance item and surrendering the $500,000 for our medical department (page 38). It was, perhaps, sound strategy to jettison this splendid provision for our seriously-handicapped medical school in order to save the preferred item of maintenance, for the whole was in danger of being lost, the House having struck out all provisions for current expenses, and the House appropriations committee would not even report the item for the medical school. Our best friends there said that this latter item was simply unthinkable this year, and the rest the would support was the item of $207,500 for upkeep. We were all glad the Senate gave us what the president of the university was unwilling to ask for in the exigency, but we do object to him placing the blame at the door of Prof. Miller, easily our greatest alumnus and faithful worker for our alma mater for a generation. When Prof. Miller penned his note to Senator Smoot he was but the spokesman of Dr. Durkee and the steering committee called at the President's behest. Not only has Prof. Miller served his alma mater before congress, many times before and spread her fair name throughout the land by his profound scholarship and invaluable race service, but for 20 years he has been the unfailing champion of the colored schools before that same body. The school laws of 1900 and 1906 under which we are now working never would have contained the butresses of Negro rights had it not been for him. He contended for equality of salaries between white and black teachers and officers, and equality in dignity, powers and duty in the offices of white and colored heads of our systems. He has been the head of the many battles we have had to fight to get our share of the funds for physical equipment for the colored schools, and has constantly informed congress of our needs and deserts. Certainly, a great career is due the consideration you have given it. (Signed) Neval H. Thomas. Washington, D. C. THE-DIGEST By Floyd J. Calvin Copyright, 1924, by Pittsburgh Courier Pub. Co. BRIGADIER GENERAL CHARLES G. DAWES, former director of the budget for President Hard- ing, now heads a commission of experts who have been studying economic Germany to determine her capacity to pay reparations. The commission finds that "with the application of common sense," Germany can again get on her feet, and deliver 33 billion dollars over a period of 32 years. When Dawes made his initial speech in Paris he said to Europe: "The re-establishment of German productivity is the starting point of European prosperity." Then he said to America: "I read in shame and humiliation the outpouring of the American nationalistic demagogues who undertake to lecture Europe in order to lift themselves into some petty office, or to maintain their political popularity." This speech was an eye-opener, not only because of its truthfulness and fearlessness, but because it was accepted as the American attitude toward her former aides and her former foe. Her position of aloofness, to long maintained, was at last officially broken, and broken in a business-like way. Without any political significance being attached to the move, this government has sought to effectually co-operate with the rest of the world in bringing some kind of order out of the chaos that followed the Versailles Treaty. Europe can well accept the American commission's suggestion and recommendations. The personnel of this committee is such as to inspire confidence and allay apprehension. Dawes made good in directing the budget of our own country. His two other associates represent basic economic interests. With these men of affairs, representing economic growth and economic stability at the head of a financial determining commission, upon hearing their final report, both Europe and America will know in which direction lay the path of true reconstruction. THE oil committee has slashed reputations right and left, besmirched character without hesitation, and recklessly cast a dark shadow over the memory of the late President Harding. At this rash step some thoughtful citizens revolted, but the public, hysterical, was swept on by the wave of destructive sentiment created by the probers. Daugherty, Fall and Doherty, all Harding appointees, have fallen on every occasion. Doherty resigned, but withoutensure for net cash in office. Fall quit before Harding ended his reverence is still in, but the possibility is that he will go. The man who is the central figure for accusation is Fall. Since he quit before Harding passed, it might be supposed that Mr. Harding was instrumental in his going. It is obvious that the late President was a victim of his friends. In published interviews since his death it is disclosed that he personally never aspired to the presidency. It was literally thrust upon him. He had hoped to end his days calmly and peacefully in the Senate. But certain of his friends saw a chance to rise themselves if they could but elevate him. He agreed to enter the Ohio primaries only after digging insistence and untiring persuasion. When he was elected President he did in private that he had always thought the cabinet jobs would go to the President-elect's friends. But, he said, he had discovered, to his sorrow, that such a thing could not be done. He selected Hughes, Mellon and Hoover purely on their merits. He picked Work on practically the same basis. He chose Davis because of personal friendship and because of his material success. Daugherty was his old friend in Ohio. Fall was his comrade in the Senate. Weeks got in through friends. Denby was the last selected—because of his record in Congress and because he had been an enlisted man. Will Hayes, of course, was a political appointment. Thus a cabinet was drawn up that was based partly on merit and partly on personal inclinations and personal preferment. Some of the President's friends failed him. disappointed him, but that is only human. Some of Wilson's appointees did the same. Wilson merely dismissed them and nothing was said. Harding didn't live to witness the perfidy and infamy of some of his close associates, but there is no doubting that he would have cleaned them up thoroughly. To even insinuate that Harding was less than a man of honesty and integrity is to be guilty of base unethical conduct, not to mention the impropriety of striking at a reputation whose maker is past defending it. CONCERNING our remarks on the Reverend Dr. Francis James Grimke and the $207,000.Howard University appropriation, Mr. George S. Schuyler, contributing editor of The Messenger, has written as follows: To The Digest: Well, I got your shot this morning; pretty good stuff, but hardly apropos; not dealing with opinion. However, I won't courier over a matter of taste. I have a real quarret with you, however, over the blurb on Grimke. I think we need a whole lot more Grimkes, white and black. You are wrong on nearly every point you raise. The appropriation to Howard University is not a favor, but a right in law. This is true of all land grant colleges. Negroes have so long been accustomed to handouts from white platoocrats and their lawyers' soviet in Washington that they do seek to really ascertain what they are use, and right for it on that basis. If someone who have courage to work with silenced in and out of the so-called educational system, then I doubt whether these institutions are of any further value—except to the Chambers of Commerce and Merchants and Manufacturers' Association in turning out goose-stepping robots to assist in the further enslaving morally and mentally of the vast army of wage slaves. It seems to me the object of education is to teach people to use what we call their minds; instead of that, it is becoming a method of filling the young minds with fictions, superstitions and myths—regimentation and standardization. No nation can really progress ver far forward under such a bogus "educational" system. There is hardly, any more private judgment everywhere is public ophion; the greater is objection to the use of the thought of thought is only characteristic of babbarians—just what the American people are, with all their electric lights, automobiles, bathtubs, gas stoves, 100 family apartment houses, steel mills and subways. One of the biggest superstitions kept alive by our "educational" system in school, college, text-books, libraries and newspapers, is that of the inferiority of the Negro and Negroid peoples. The churches and most of the legislatures accept it. Even our "intellectual" Negroes are beginning to accept it. It was only through the protests of a handful of New York teachers (a small handful at that) that a Jim-Crow Vocational High School was kept from being foisted on Harlem, which had already been slated to receive interior equipment. Southern teachers trained to segregate the poor from the poor, more Grimkes, at the loss of $207,000. What if a race gain riches and lose manhood? I suppose you consider this some radical diatribe, I am the hard and fair adherent of no particular social or economic creed, but I can see a long way off. I feel that we are doomed for the slough of decadence unless our churches and schools are freed from the O'Neill's Play To The Digest: EDITORIAL domination of the interlocking money grabbers that makes free private judgment out of the question "socialist propaganda" either.

TO COMMEMORATE the heroic deeds of New soldiers and sailors who fought in all the wars of our country, and the World war, is what National Memorial Association, led by Ferdinand Lee, wants to erect a national memorial building for soldiers at Washington. The plea continues: "From Bunker Hill to the Argonne covers a part in the history of the world that can never be erad. The first blood shed on American soil in the rebellion English tyranny was that of a Negro. That time until now the record of the Negro in Army and Navy has never been questioned. Deeds of bravery, their loyalty and patriotism be immortalized in statues and memorials as are of other people." With these sentiments we are in accord.

"My Trip To Africa" is an intimate account of the conditions, peoples and customs of Africa by Thomas Cole, a Pittsburghher, residing at 625 Chester Avenue, North Side.

His experiences are of historical value and carry splendid information homas c. col ily then displayed the note. "Did you send me this?" he asked. She took it and with a glance placed it on the table. "Yes," she replied, assuming an air like one deeply hurt. "Well," he said, "I am here." She directed him to a seat at a table upon which sat a half-finished supper for two. "I am little known here," she began hardly above a whisper, "and I am in need of aid. I know you can help me—" "But you don't know who I am," he ventured with his eyes upon hers. "Oh, yes, I do," she smiled feebly, "I have seen you very often, that's the reason I know you can help." "Well?" he mused. He had long dreamed of some such adventure; of becoming a conspirator or a confidential man; or playing the bold knight and rescuing beautiful women in distress. This, he thought, was a chance that comes only once in a lifetime. "He brought me here —" she sighed. "Who brought you here?" he broke in. "A man, Nathaniel Pagan, who came from the West," she went on, "he's old enough for either of our fathers. He brought me here from my home upstai: with promises to marry me; he is very wealthy. I don't think'I loved him; he lured me away with his bright pictures. I have been here three months now. Every day he would put off the time we are to marry." She paused and brushed away a tear. Mackay listened intently and felt his resentment rising against the man. "He brought me here," indicating the private dining room with a sweep of the hand, "about three-quarters of an hour ago; he went o. and a few minutes later phoned that he had gone and that no longer would I be troubled with him. Just think of it," she cried. "I am here alone in this great city, penniless, homeless, friendless and disgraced; I could never return home." She broke down and Mackay went to her side. "Now, now," he said comfortingly, "you mustn't do that—before me." He placed his hands gently on her bare shoulders. "What am I to do?" she cried, rising in his arms. "I can't work!" He held her close, he didn't know why, and comforted her. "I will," heway, he consoled her. "The sounded, the law is too lenient with such as he." She continued to sob in his arms. "I am the most unhappy woman alive," she cried. At that moment a girl, Melicent Travers, entered and paused before the scene presented by Mackay and thir woman. She stood breathless. Nibe Barrett relaxed in his arms and smiled triumphantly. She clung to him despite his efforts to throw her off. "You—" Melicent gasped and then stared at Mackay startled. "Why am I sent for?" she asked. "They told me—" He had succeeded in releasing himself and stood off stunned and surprised. "What is the meaning of all this?" he asked, appealing to Melicent. "Some one phone me," she said, "that Theford, Mr. Dalby, was a l-rater and a faker, and that he was at that moment lolling in the arms of another woman, here in the lycacinth in Thaley's." Nibe Barrett approached Mackay and placed a hand on his sleeve. "Thet, you are not a low-rater and a faker are you?" she asked wistfully. "I know you are not." Mackay stared at her strangely. "Who is the woman, dear?" she asked with a nod toward Melicent. He brushed her aside. "I don't know who she is," he exclaimed, "but I do know that you are not worthy to crawl after her and sop up her cracks with your tongue!" Niobe Barrett suddenly grew angry and shredd. "Thetford Dalby!" Mackay laughed. "Why, I'm not theTford Dalby, I'm Macklin Penchyn. You see, Miss-er" he paused in an embarrassment as he turned to Melicent. "Travers," she smiled. "You see, Miss Travers," he went on, "this woman has worked a frame-up on me, thought it was Mr. Dalby, you know I was an easy fool." Barrett continued to slink Niche Barrett continued to slink "MY TRIP TO AFRICA" "Wild Africa, Beautiful Africa, Wealthy Africa--It is a Revelation" away from them, her eyes flashing with fear and anger. Melicent smiled with relief and happiness. "Come on, Miss Travers," Mackay addressed her, "this is no place for us. I dare say Thaley does not know they are using his place for the purposes of framing damning evidences against respectable citizens." When they had gone two hard-faced men appeared from behind, scowling fiercely. "Now you've played it!" one of them soiled. "I played it!" Niobe Barrett flung at him angrily. "Sure! I played it perfect!" she exclaimed hotly. "You said it was Dalby, it looked like him! It was all your fault!" "Like h— it was!" the other man who held a blank pad swore.

Believe It Or Not FAILS TO TOSS FREIGHT ENGINE FROM THE TRACK He Was Feeling Strong, But Twas Booze Talking DENVER, Colo., March 13. — A Burlington switch engine knocked Peter Farm off the track and didn't even dent him. According to Officer Jackson, Farm was "all drunk up." The more hooch he consumed the stronger he felt. He got to feeling so strong he couldn't think of anything weaker than a steam locomotive to test his strength, and he was confident he could stop anything that runs on a railroad track. "See this switch engine coming?" Farm asked, according to the officer's testimony in police court. "It's a watch-charm for me. Just watch me stop it. Why, I stop compounds and moguls. My engine's pie." Jackson said Farm hopped onto the track. He "willed" the engine to stop, but it didn't. It brushed Farm out of the way and steamed on, until the engine uninjured, was fined $20 and costs in court for drunkenness. Twenty-Month-Old Infant Can Read NEW YORK, N. Y. March 12.

In landing at the sea port, situated on the Gulf of Guinea, the first of my surprises was a black man at the wheel of a tug boat, stearing alongside of the passenger boat after she had anchored and made ready to receive and land passengers on shore. Then I observed the surf boats which load and unload the cargo boats. On entering the customs, I observed nothing but black men as custom officers. I felt that we would not have much work to enlighten the natives on civilization. Later I found them a diplomatic than American.

The show comes to Pittsburgh next week.

"European audiences gave me real inspiration," says pretty Lottie Gee, leading lady with "In Bamville," Sissle & Blake's Revue, coming to the Nixon Theater the week of March 17. "They do not hold back for prejudice or horrid injustices of any kind, but give spontaneous applause and pleasing comment to whatever they enjoy. I believe an artist feels the appreciation of her hearers and that "feeling" radiates inspiration. You want to develop and grow better as an entertainer. "When I toured Europe, with the Southern Syncopated Orchestra, visiting England, France and Italy, I realized what long hard years of work meant. From chorus-girl to leading lady isn't the most wonderful achievement in the world, but it spells sacrifice, determination, joy, sorrow and many other things known to the stage artist. As leading lady, work has not ceased, but there is a satisfaction in knowing you have contributed a bit to the glory of the stage." Miss Gee began her stage career as a chorus girl with the Cole and Johnson Red Moon Company with that aggregation until its closing. She was a part of the roles of the Smart Set Company and for two years toured with S. H. Dudley as the star. Miss Ada Walker had her as one of her dancing girls and with her retirement from the stage it seemed that the only thing TRIP TO A and Africa, Beautiful Africa, could not harmonize the people with the scenery. Natives Interesting. But the natives were a quiet, peaceable body of people. Their dress and make-up was very puzzling at first, but everything eventually became natural. In conversation with the natives, who spoke English, I found them very interesting and very industrious. Practically all the business is carried on by the natives. After becoming fully acquainted with the situation, I found that they were the back bone of the Cold Cost. They ate the Cable Office, Post Office, Cus-Office, railroad. They are the town consul, police chief and police officers. I was more than agreeably surprised and it really made me feel more at home and believed it certainly looks like success for our business. But these were the outside conditions. The natives get small salaries for the services they give, but their cost of living is far cheaper than what it would take an American or Englishman to live on. Their wages or salary ranges from three (3) to seven (7) pounds a month. This refers to the clerical work. The mechanics receive from three (3) to seven (7) shillings per day's work. They are good, neat workmen; plenty of them; quick to retain knowledge and eager to learn left for Lottie to do was to go back to the chorus. While resting in Washington it occurred to her that she might try a single and was given her first engagement at Ford Dabneys Theatre where she at once became very popular. It was during this engagement that she formed a trio with Effie King and Lillian Gillam. This did not last very long and with the closing trio the Sister team of King & Gee was formed. This was without doubt one of the best sister teams that the race could be of at that time. They toured the various Vaudeville Circuits for a number of years and finding all roads to the top barred against them because of their color, they gave up temporarily. For Miss Gee it was hard, but her AFRICA" Weatthy Africa--It is a Re more. The laborers receive from one to two shillings a day. They are as fine specimens, physically, as any one wishes to see. The English have taught the natives to do business and that is one thing they know. Morals Good The morale on the streets in the day is better than we have in some sections of our big cities. The men rule in that country. The women are more like slaves. The dress of the natives, such as clerks and lawyers, are just the same as the English during working hours, but after that they fall back to their native garb, which is cloth in which some of the colors would give you the blind staggers. The native women are the traders. They bring all the produce to market on their heads with their young babies lashed to their backs. All the marketable foods are brought from the country, which is called the "bush." There is no end to the amount of weight that can be carried on their heads; they are light as an arrow; their dress is two pieces of cloth; one piece to cover the lower body and one to cover the upper body which includes holding the babies to the back while they are on their journey to and fro. They do not wear shoes. They are barefooted at ALL times. The main na- opportunity came when she was offered a position with the Southern Syncopied Orchestra. After a short tour of the United States the company went abroad with Miss Gee as the Soloist. With this she toured Europe winning praise in such countries as England, France, Italy and Asia Minor. Miss Gee is unquestionably one of the best dressed women of the stage. Pathe in his Movie Chats has exhibited her on several occasions.

Staple foods: Plantine, Kankie smoked fish. The country is very rich. Every thing grows all the time. There is no cultivation required. Everything is planted and it grows and they just gather some. The general resources are wonderful. Thire is enough in the Gold Coast district to supply the world for one hundred years. Seventhents of the cocoa used in the world comes from the Gold Coast. It is rich in rubber, mangarue, cocoa bean, gold and polim punell. They are all staple goods and can be had for shipment at any reasonable time, but you must have money and not change. (Five thousand dollars is change.) The proportions are big and it takes big money to handle them. The African Union Company has the concessions, but not the money. The country is no place for a poor farmer to go without money. Bear this in mind. The living conditions among the natives will not do. They will have to be trained and educated from that condition and they will need American colored women to do that. They are willing listeners to anything the American black man or woman says.

It might be attributed to the density of our thinking apparatus, but frankly, we can see nothing funny in an able and efficient officer being kicked by a white woman who is married to a colored man, and who admits that she is well known to all officers of the Avenue. The charge of disorderly conduct was justified, for this same woman has been known for years to do this sort of capering—anywhere and any time. We understand that the judge decided that a $25 fine or 30 days to the workhouse option was sufficient punishment for this intentional act to forever ruin an able-loved and conscientious police officer. Wonder if that same judge would be willing to take similar punishment while upholding the laws of our city and feel that his efforts were amply rewarded by a $25 fine, etc. Wonder if it is the policy of the judge to encourage practices of this kind, or that he didn't know that this woman should have been held for court? —And while we are in this state of wonderment, we invite some intelligent person to show us wherein lies the humor. FURTHER out the Avenue there lives a team of religionists who have dedicated themselves to a program of belittling the efforts of the Column and exaggerating upon their own. But, dear brothers, the day of reckoning fastly approaches. "Be ye also ready." ATRIO from the Avenue promoted a "Chitlin Stril" a few days back, and among the invited guests was a seller of automobiles and drinker of "hooch," whom we will call Farmer Boy—because he is unfamiliar with certain conveniences in the average city home. Farmer Boy arrived at the "Strut" running in "high," with an extra accelerator in his hip pocket. As the function eased into the early morning hours, Farmer Boy became romantic, collected a mate and set out for a stroll. After climbing one flight of stairs, a little room done in white attracted their attention. As they gazed intently at the bathtub, there suddenly appeared a wide lawn, then a bungalow—a la Hollywood—a front door (through which they entered; a few steps and a turn brought them into a living room with antique furniture and decorations; off to the left was the most inviting room of the five and one which every tired man likes to make use of. The trance continued until—well, you'll have to ask one of the "Chill-lit Strut" patrons what went on. But suffice it to say that Farmer Boy has no commendable recollections when he is called "Bath-tub Charlie." WONDER if the lad who knocked out a drunken man last week, has put another notch in his gun. Be careful, old top, a man can do only so much fighting in that game—and get away with it. A hint to the wise, etc. JUDGING from the number of people turned away from the Little Paris last week Gross and Baker have struck a popular chord. Go to it, boys, and when you get tired, go to it some more. A SUCCESSFUL business man said: "My presence on the Avenue after business hours would mean $1,000 more business per year for our firm." We were standing in a pool room, a place where the "goody-goods" say a respectable man should never enter. The Column agreed with the speaker because we know something of the value of contact. Little drops of water develop into great streams by successive contact, whereas if left alone—away from other drops of water—are either absorbed by Mother earth or become stagnant and breeding places of germs and disease. We have some trained men in the city who cannot make a living from their practices because they prefer the attitude of aloofness, which does nothing but satisfy a false pride and standard of morality. A business man of the Avenue is today on his "last legs" because he knew not the value of contact with the elements which supported him—be they good, bad or indifferent. A welfare organization (with a branch on the Avenue) is calling on all reserves to help steady the rocking boat—because its administration head tries to apply, the same effeminate, domestic ethics to, who work a great deal and read very little. Contact is not all of success, but it is a mighty element, a generating force; keeps your accomplishments and anticipations before the people—its a "howly-do" and "good-bye" to every conscientious effort. And Wylie Avenue --- By John L. Clark ws without, it the full measure of success cannot be expected. Let's see if you mean it, Chief! ANOTHER Negro "hoochery" was raided—again—last weeks. The proprietor is the one and same who took kindly to propaganda put out by the Little Savoy owner, some time ago. The Little Savoy is out of business and if this Negro "hoocher" doesn't change his idea of alliances, he'll be the next one to go. --- WHILE our City Council is engaged in their probe of whys, we again call their attention to the danger of the northwest corner at full height. surest. Maybe they are waiting till some Negro is killed and then ask the coroner to declare it an unavoidable accident. Witn j taxicab companies added to the community traffic using this corner twenty out of every twenty-four hours, the Column thinks that the city should be more attentive, to its own interests, as well as those of its taxpayers. 0 NEVER before in the history of the Avenue have the women of the street patrolled our thoroughfare in such large numbers, and never before have we been forced to listen to so much vulgarity. Very few old-timers are among them—mostly young ones, reared well, but preferring the thrills and frivolities of the under life. They work single, double, in trios, quartets, after a certain hour at night one sees them in squads—discussing the rewards of their labor or a close call at the hands of some energetic officer. Their conversations embrace every known word and phrase not found in the dictionary, and when cautioned about what respectable people might say or do, boastfully column: "Have me locked up—I'll get out in the morning." And they usually do. The Column knows of at least two police of the Avenue who could and would wipe out this ever-increasing army of "proxies"—but it, seems that their campaigns can go only so far, and there they must sign. Evidence has come to the Column that some "invisible power" is deriving a revenue from this practice by giving them protection. And this power is so firmly entrenched that only a concerted public protest can move him—or them. This condition lives at our expense. We hesitate about opening business places on the Avenue, fearing that this army might assemble in front of our store; we have doubts about the security of our youth when they have occasion to be on the Avenue; we modestly request that our women traverse the Avenue as little as possible; and after our young ones reach a certain age, we omit the Avenue from our routing of daily walks. We handle the situation like cowards, running away from a condition that could be easily wiped out if we would only muster up enough confidence in our neighbor to solicit his aid, pass the word along—get together and fight. the "pressies" know that the "thinking" element is well taken up in "thinking" and have no time—or courage—to fight. And in this connection the "pressies" have stepped us one better—they have studied us while we have gloried in the mistaken idea that they are not worthy of our thoughts. Yet, they do about as they please at our expense and disadvantage—without any evidences of fear or regret. Shall it continue thus? NATE HARRIS and Ed. Bailey say that inquiries are just pouring in about the Avenue Dubs baseball team. We expected as much, for there are a number of good boys played among our Southern boys who have family liactions to live up to—but who like the sport well enough to play twilight games. And those are the boys we want. Send them right in. AS THOUGH by some secret signal, the three women of the street broke and ran in three different directions. It happened so suddenly that the Column thought somebody had dropped poison gas nearby, and we were about ready to run, too. But knowing that we are accustomed to have SOME reason for doing things, we looked around and saw the cause. Pinckney was on the job. -0- Wonder how the East Wylie undertaker is planning to collect the $1,200 for a burial, which was supposed to be covered by a $300 appropriation. -0- THE Third Ward Get Together Club is still busy, qualifying voters. Here is their method of approach: "Have you been assessed?" "Are you registered at your district polling place." "Have you a tax receipt?" If you are not sure about the answers to these questions get busy and you are even justified in taking a few hours off to get this matter straightened out."

Evelyn Preer Good 'Ella Do God's Chillu Would Serve As Balm White Woman Pl Says Leste NEW YORK, March 13—Lester A. Walton, writing in the New York World, has said that Miss Evelyn Preer would have been an ideal actress to play the part of Ella Downey opposite Pa Robeson in Eugene O'Neill's latest play, "All God's Chillun Got Wings." Mr. Walton said: "There are several talented Negro actresses whose services could be utilized in the new show in the leading female part. "Chief among these is Evelyn Preer, who was seen in New York some months ago. Her lightness of complexion moved John Corbin, dramatic-critics of the New York Times, to write a two-column article on 'Jewels in Ethiopia' Ear.' He said, among other things: Miss Preer's Qualifications 'The complexion of the company run through lighter shades of cafe au lait; several of the abler "Loose Feet" A Sensation Richmond Amateur Players Pack House in Musical Comedy Hit—May Play Return. RICHMOND, Va., Mar. 13.—Veritably taking this city by storm and playing to packed houses during its two-day engagement, was significant of the big success of Davi, Eggleston and Longley's Fun Revue company's musical comedy hit, "Loose Feet," featuring forty songsters, funmakers and dancers, with a chorus of twenty-four of Richmond's most beautiful school girls. The production was a worthy, clean and entertaining revue. While the entire company is well worthy of commendation, a few of the leading lights are especially noteworthy. To Miss Thelma Davis, a versatile singer and dancer, goes the honor of being the biggest hit of the show and the Twilight quartette, probably deserve second honors. G. C. Haley showed great promise as a clever and strategic comedian. Miss Evelyn Burwell also rendered one of the features, "Twee Twea," a comic by Coleridge Davis, the young musical director of the company. William Pride, Melvin Johnson and Bernard Brown, comedians, did well. Goldberg Wilson, Paul D. Morton, James Gibbs, Chester Washington, Edward Ellis and Ralph Lawson played their parts well. Grace Moore, a good singer, pleased the audience. The show was a roaring success and the public is demanding a return. Would Make Bowney'In "All Men Got Wings" to Opposition Against Playing With Negro, Her Walton. players might pass for white. Nor are these Ethiopians powerless to change their skins. When a darker hue is requisite they employ walmout stain. ** When Mr. O'Neill casts his so-called Ethiopians as the white folk they so nearly are, a strain develops which may be illogical, but is none the a strain. ** Miss Preer never suggests the Negress. "If, as Mr. Corblin says, because of the whiteness of her skin Miss Preer never suggests a Negro, it must follow that she suggests a Caucasian. What, then, is to prevent her from measuring up to the color standards set for the leading lady in Eugene O'Neil's latest dramatic effort? "Casting an Evelyn Prer in the principal female part would serve as a balm for those who would suffer untold anguish over the thought of a real white woman playing on posite a simon pure Negro." At The Lincoln The Lincoln opened Monday night to its usual capacity house with one of the greatest variety bills ever shown here. Easton and Stewart, in act that was seen the past-season in a downtown theatre, headed the bill with their novelty, musical and comedy act. Charles Anderson, one of the greatest tenors and Blues singers on the American stage pulled down the house with his wonderful yodeling and other snappy songs. Billy Watts and Madam Patty Willis have one of the best comedy and singing acts seen here in a long time. Anna White a little girl with a golden voice, also, makes a hit.

Some winds bring warm and springing breezes from the Southlands and some winds bring cold, bleak chills from the Northlands. There may be a snowfall or a blustery rainfall. Gastes, gales, hurricane and the like may sweep over the land. And so is life just a combination of influence — some good—some bad, some indifferent. The winds of life come just so, hither and thither, bringing soft gentle love waves; bringing sorrowful tearful tidings; carrying love and laughter, happiness and calm, sighs and regrets. Some sunshine and some rainfall must come into every life. Each life some rain must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary."

Mardi Gras Given by Debs Closes Pre-Lenten Dances The novel "Debs" lived up to reputation on Tuesday night, Feb. 29, when they pulled off the Mardi Gras. It was real snakey, and pretty party, being the first of its kind to be given in the Quaker town. The hall was delightfully decorated in strips and hangings of black and white. Confetti fell from everywhere upon the happy throng of dancers. Serpentines entangled the feet and bodies of the many, many costumed couples. The debs were dressed as Pierrots and Pierrettes. They looked charming in this role, and were so clever in the grand-march, when they marched and danced together, and finally formed a mile to the strains of Here Comes The Bride, about Miss Alice Potts, whose engagement was announced. Vierna Martin was mighty sharp as a Scotch Lassie; Mrs. Carliotta Lucas meandered gracefully around in the role of an East Indian Princess; Mrs. Le Barr Potts, was charming as a Spanish Senorita; Courtney McCord was a sweet baby doll in light blue. As Robin Hood, Edith Cokine, was the cleverest of all. One could not pass by without noticing two Greenwich Village Art students in the persons of Prudence Turner and Alice Blue. Buleah Hazlewood was ever so pretty as "Night". Claudine Marshall made quite the demure little Chinese Mandarin and Clarence Green looked handsome in yellow satin as a clown boy wonderful Spanish cavalier. Dr. Chas. Howard was a Mexican. And there were an endless number of clever and unique characterizations but one cannot write about each and everyone. The Mardi Gras shall be remembered as one of the finest affairs in town, and I do not see why the "Debs" cannot make it an annual affair. Another Engagement Announced Zip—through the air, and a dart from Cupid's arrow pieces the hearts of Paul Potts, Udil Mr. Sim-Jones' from Lincoln. University. Miss Potts is one of the "Debs" and is well known and loved in Philadelphia. Mr. Jones is a student at Lincoln, a member of the Alpha Kappa Fraternity. Rumor has not whispered the date yet.

Deadly because with the exception of one particular section of the Country, it is deeply rooted and hidden. Over such a large area has race prejudice extended its venomous fangs that nought but a miracle will be necessary to rid this Country of the terrible poison which already has taken effect upon the minds of the people. Today not only here in America but through the entire world, eyes are turned upon this Great Nation of the United States, watching the terrible conditions it faces in regards to race prejudice. Realization has come, as to the great and dangerous proportions it has attained. What to do? How to avoid the consequences? How to check the ravages? Are the questions. Having been held so long under the surface; treating the situation lightly by a mere wave of the hand it would be wiped out, is the direct cause for the condition today. When poison once enters the body it is a long tedious and very hard fight to rid the system of it. Race prejudice or any other form of prejudice directed as a people is a poison of a most deadly description. At one time the cry was, "Save the Union" and though many years have passed the cry today is no less important and necessary, "Save theUnion". There will never be a Union where there are separations one cannot look or point at the other. There must be, there will have to be concessions, of all descriptions. But it is not y, yun to judge my brother, are I have first considered and judged myself. Many colored people make it a point to demand all sorts of consideration. Their wrath burns high when race prejudice is discussed they feel wronged from the beginning to the end. And still, they themselves are prototypes of the evils they condemn. Race prejudice among colored people is very strong, to a point where in certain instances it manifests itself as hatred. This is sorrowfully true, for among the group may be found vast numbers who bear malice against one another for the mere fact of color. Therefore as a group, colored people cannot expect consideration from their white brothers, until they have erected, and completely eradicated the evil from among themselves. There must be unity amo g them. Then, it is reasonable to believe that they would be given consideration. Self respect is one of the greatest points in personal makeup and will invariably demand attention anywhere, in the world eye, in the United States of America. Otherwise it is most unjust to demand that which you yourself are not willing to give. As a group of colored people must learn to practice fairness among themselves. I emphasize, MUST. Apologies must not be made and cannot be considered. It is the French. I believe who have a saying that 'He who apologizes accuses himself.' Each and everyone is responsible for the actions of the other. Conditions among colored people throughout the Country are largely, due to the prejudices existing among themselves. I do not dare to say, as a whole, conditions among them are due to themselves, but to a great extent. The other due to base ignorance of a mass of poor civilized whites. Nevertheless such hardened and nasty nerness could be saved, if our own were just a little more considerate of each other. I would like to leave another thought, and that is;—Not to bear malice toward one another but try with all that is best within us to correct or assist in correcting a fault where we see one. Above all since we are working toward a goal, we cannot afford to bear malice even toward those who wrong us most unjustly. I do not want to be misunderstood, in this, as to mean not to be a man and fight like a man in danger. But do not be a man if your white brother will share what is his with you. It is it latter point which has caused so much unnecessary bitterness and unpleasantness. "Let us build so that we may be safe and secure in that which we have constructed. And like a generous host give welcome to all who may call upon us". (Augustian Dure.) Work Of The Episcopal Church Among Negro PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 13 —What the Episcopal Church is doing for the Negro in the Diocese of Pennsylvania was told at the meeting of the Diocesan Committee of Women's Auxiliary of the Diocese of Pennsylvania in the parish house of Holy Trinity Church.

The Drifter drifted into New York one day and proceeded to Harlem and 135th street. Fortune seemed to smile on him from the start, for no sooner had he dropped into a small cigar stand, a step from subway, than he found himself suddenly in the midst of his dozen of famous men. The Drifter is a silent person and watches rather than speaks. He would easily recognize most of those around him, but the course, know nothing of, He bought a cigar, found an arse to linger awhile, and proceeded to listen. The actual trend of the conversation concerned Negroes, their shortcomings and their virtues. Between Hubert Harrison, famous and brilliant writer and lecturer, only colored member of the New York Board of Education; Domingo, whose editorial writing in the World and whose editorship in the "Ennunciator" set many minds to thinking of the great economy of which this race has so few the discussion went back and forth—every statement clear, but profound. The Drifter was, of course, greatly interested in the informal conversation, for its brilliance and its expression of thoughts that genius alone can think, could not help but fascinate the least learned. But the thing that struck him most was the informality of it all, the little shop, the cigar smoke, and withal the keenest brains of the race acting very much like very ordinary persons. He found that those prominent men of the race who take their position to mean that they should try to be as white as possible and ignore at every opportunity Negroes who do not move in their "circle," never frequented these gatherings where they might sit and learn. W. E. B. Dabois or J. W. Johnson would not think of soiling their hands here. They think they are too great. Yet if they knew if here would be a splendid place in which they could spend an hour a day learning what the essence of greatness is.

White Famous Painter Heads State Committee in New York. NEW YORK, March 6 — What promises to be one of the most prominent and fashionable gatherings for New York this spring, will be the state convention of the General Assembly of Spiritualists which will open its sessions in Carnegie Hall on June 12-15. This notable gathering, which is composed of both white and colored women and men of prominence, was the efforts of Rev. Dr. John R. White, pastor of the Universal Spiritualist Church at No. 206 West 138th street. Dr. White, who is identified with the National Committee of the General Assembly, is a graduate of Wilberforce University, and since his advent into the spirit world years ago, has become one of the leading figures of national reputation. Ever since his location in New York city ha has gathered about him a considerable property.

Bonds, 4050 Grand Blvd. LAST year the Young Women's Christian Association Fashion Show was a smouldering fire, throwing out the heat so welcome in a chill. This year the Fashion Show dimmed. It was an unbridled it. It was a genuine holocaust. And now, all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't make it smoulder again. Tuesday night Chiengans jummed into the armory of the famous Eighth Illinois Intensity Recruitment like an army of opera goers hitting the soup line. They fought to get into the large building to see what the girls out on Indiana had prepared for them this year. They congenially tore and snatched at another's squirrels, ... seals and whatnot, determined to get on the inside and pay their dollar for a peep. Sure-enough Chiengans was there. That means everybody. Any and everybody who ever had an idea of getting in on anything swell turned out. They turned in their boot. Long before the show had opened, at seven o'clock, mostly old GIs avenue sniffed through its snow-made tears at the innery and beauty treading its golden breast. There were two fashion shows—was staged and produced by the Y. W. C. A., the other nonchalantly and nontruly, but thoroughly, nevertheless, brought into display by the thousands who had comtooth see what the Y. W. C. A. was doing. First Show Last Lear. The idea of the style show was first conceived and executed last year. At that time the war was undertaken by the educational committee of the association of which Mrs. George Cleveland Hall is chairman. No one knew at the time just how such an affair would take. Chicago is hard-billed and immune to many practices which run riot in more cultured and immoralized colored centers. There are a lot of praematives in the "second edition of the world." The affair did go. It got talked about, and there was praise of another. Tuesday night came the fulfillment of the proclaim. This year the educational committee appointed a committee of which Mrs. Barbara Hewlett Lewis, famous daughter of a famous father and wife of Carry B. Lewis, held proprietor and formally managing editor of the Chicago, D. Nahor was made a widowman, Mrs. Lewis did her stuff, Mrs. Lewis got out there and came through with the proverbial flying colors. She went so far and did so well that she's got all the women boasting of what women can do. She was assisted in the work by as fine and brilliant corps of workers as any color woman brought to teacher. There were: Dr. Mammuth, Robert S. Abbott, Hazel Thompson Davis, Jesse D. Wood, L. Loon L. Mastis, Richard S. Smith, Chas M. Thompson, N. Newcomb A. Thorne, William T. Williams and the Misses ALB. Williams and Margaret Ward. The theme of the centered around displays of morning negligences (the latest in everything, you know). French maid habilite, morning dresses, tailored dresses, furs, hats, sport suits and dresses, dance costumes, attention dresses and wraps, a "study of Beauty" by the Marguerita o mary, a reproduction of the "Million Dollar" Walker-Jackson wedding and the towns. Miss Carly C. Lewis, Promaster, who thought she could reach those thousands without a megaphone and found out she couldn't, opened the show with an entertaining bit of dogged (epotizing thus: And never was posing with her, the meaning out-mastered the meter), telling the purpose of the show and introducing the first models. After Miss Lois came the herald of the show, Miss Nannene Joyce, a dancer/puppet of Miss Hunt I Thompson Davis. Miss Joyce wore a striking beard and wore a little team with white.
