VIRGINIA FOR ME
MRS. GEORGE HARRIS.
—Photo, by Dickerson.
RICHMOND, Va.; April 3—"Virginia for me," says Mrs. George Harris, formerly Miss Messia Harris, before her recent marriage to George El Harris.
Of course, after looking at Mrs. Harris very carefully, one might say "Virginia for me." But read why she loves Virginia:
"You've heard 'Carry Me Back to Ole Virginity,' and no doubt, the tune attracted you more than the words. One must be a Virgininn to appreciate its beauty, its sentiment, the warmth and loyalty of its hospitality—and, least we forget, its wealth. Our smokers should laud Virginia for its frequent folklore, constantly supplying them with the comfort and pleasure of their favorite weed."
"We feel alike, believe alike and strive alike in Virginina. There's something about it that makes us all kin. Velvet skies, beautiful buildings, comfortable homes, busy businesses, wonderful people—that's Virginia!"

Harry Pace Heads List Of 'Big Men'
Northeastern Life Insurance Company Breaks Into East—Business Seen as Next Big Field to be Developed.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 3—"What is the next big Negro opportunity?" asked one Eastern business man the other day, "Insurance" was the ready response. And this tells the story.
Negroes are being refused insurance, that is the preferred kind of insurance, by the larger white companies. It is said the mortality is too high for the white companies. This has caused Negroes to give some to mortality, ally to the tables by white companies, and to determine whether the statement is based upon actual facts or a prejudice common to this country.
The answer is to be found in the action of live Negro men with brains and some money enter into the insurance field to compete with same companies that decry Negro business on the ground of a high death rate. There has been found a business company that is, willing to serve the public rather than make a few men rich.
The latest effort in direct regulation of the charge of an unprofitable death rate among Negroes is to be found in the launchment of the North-eastern Life Insurance Company by Harry Page and signer of the business firm, New York City.

'Love Child'maybe Daughter Of Negro Mistress; Southern Beauty Loses Divorce Fight
NEW YORK, April 3.—A Supreme Court jury recently returned a verdict in favor of Beverly D. Harris, former vice president of the National City Bank of New York, in the marriage annulment suit brought by him against him wife, Eleanor Elaine Lee Harris, on charges that she misrepresented her origin before their marriage. This verdict is taken as meaning to virtually brand Mrs. Harris as colored, since the suit was covertly based on the presumption that if it was discovered that Mrs. Harris was an illigitimate child (which she admitted) and the daughter of one, Ell Rayner, a notorious Southern gambler, it would be construed as meaning that she is the daughter of a colored mistress kept by

The jury found that prior to her marriage Mrs. Harris had represented to her future husband that she was a member of the Lee family, of Memphis, Tenn.; that Ell Rayner, alleged gambler, was her uncle; that Mrs. Hosia C. Harris was her nunt, and that she was a chaste woman. All of these representations the jury found to be false.
Question of Identity.
During the trial the whole question resolved itself into a question of identity.
Harris marshaled a host of witnesses to prove that the woman he married was an orphanage wife, who filed the institution at fourteen, worked for a while in Memphis as a telephone girl, and then became the mistress Ell Rayner, gambler, until the met and captivated him.
Bee Harris strenuously denied that she is the orphan "Susie Les" whose-pest her husband has so sadly dug up. But in order to deny that she had to bare another painful secret which she said she had guarded for years—though she doesn't admit she guarded it from Harris. That secret was that she was Eli Rayner's illegitimate daughter.
It was hard to believe, when Mrs. Harris swept into the courtroom. Wednesday that she had ever been either what her husband contends she was or what she admits she was. Richly gowned in a taupe brown dress, cut with a deep V at the side of which were affixed two jink roses and wearing a small roll-brim that which fully repealed her features, she seemed the essence of refinement and culture.
Cheerful in Court
Snugglings in the deep fur collar of the coat, which was draped on her shoulder, she appeared the most cheerful person in the courtroom. While Harris, across the table,

Her compassure never left her for a moment, not even when George Gordon Battle, her lawyer, hared to the jury the secret of her parentage, which she had gone to such infinite pains to cover up.
The first witness she faced was an orphan from the home in which she continued to live. The years were so long that Miss Samma Graves Menchau—"a working girl."
Miss Meacham told briefly of her early life in the orphanage, where she had known "Susie Lee." They had played together as small children in the institutions. She hadn't seen "Susie Lee" for some fifteen years.
"Is this defendant the Susie Lee that you knew?" Carruthers Ewing of Memphis and New York asked her.
To the best of my memory of the child, I'd say she is the one," Miss Meacham answered.
Harris' Story.
A part of Harris' own story is as follows:
He met Elaine Lee, or Ella Lee, he said, at the Bice Hotel in Houlton. He was introduced to her by Jeff McLemore, congressman at large.
Jeff was a friend of many years standing and aroused my curiosity by raving about the girl's beauty," said Harrison.
"Later a Mr. Hillard of St. Louis told me of her. They described her as a girl of old Southern family."
A Mrs. Hosen Harris was with Miss Lee when they met, the banker continued, and the girl referred to her. He cited as among the alleged deceits, on the strength of which he seeka annulment of his marriage, that that Mrs. Harris was not Mrs. Lee's aunt or any relation to her.
"She was a respectable old lady," he recalled. "He visited Miss Lee and "Auntie" at Mineral Wells, Tex., in the weeks that followed. She became some of the most famous summited him by telephone from Oklahoma and, when she recovered they were there." Discoverers Truth. But in February, 1931, while the Memphis for the National City Bank, he was a cotton broker, he met F. G. Barton, whose cryptic statements aroused his interest.

Lure Of Footlights Causes Wrecked Home
Wife, Who Left Husband Three Years Ago To Seek Fame and Fortune On Stage, is Divorced—Now Eastern Favorite.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 3—Victa Carter lived happily with her husband, Patterton H. Carter, at 1622 Mountain street, until the glare of the footlights and the fascination of comely actresses winning the plaudits of admiring crowds changed her home life and her former affable disposition into an incompatability of temperament. Then came a leave taking of her beautiful home and faithful husband. The outstretched arms of the theatrical world welcomed her and she soon became an attractive flower of the Lafayette and other companies.
Since 1921, Viola has refused to return to the bed of her husband, who after waiting and hoping without reward for her return, finally through his attorney, C. Stewart Patterson, laid his case before Judge McMichael of Court of Common Pleas, No. 3. The master appointed to hear the case recommended an absolute divorce on the ground of in-

Native Vice-Head Of Liberia; First Time In History
BROOKLYN, N. Y., April 8.—According to Mrs. Helen Curtis, a resident here and widow of a former United States minister to Liberia, Africa, for the first time in that republic's history a native African is serving as vice president. He is H. T. Wesley, a member of the Greco tribe. He was inducted into office last January with President C. D. B. King, now in his second term as head of the country.

The testimony of Sampson; baring their six years of married life in which a fickle and unfaithful wife "drove him to hell and despair" and two attempts to kill himself made up the whole defense.

Discriminate Against Woman In Washington
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3—Following the precedent in Jim Crow policy in the departments of the Federal Government set during the Wilson administration, the appointment of Mrs. John H. George, 1319 Q street, Northwest, was made, and when her race was discovered, she was rejected. She took the examination for first grade clerk, passed with rating high enough to cause her certification within a short time. Early last May she was so certified to the state department and visited at office in response to a letter from the appointment clerk. She was told to report the next day for assignment to a desk. That same afternoon her telephone rang, and she was inform-

minute, his hand clasped in Dr. Re!-
land's.” The program, which consist-
gd entirely of reneditions of Mr.
Burleigh's compositions, reached a
climax when the choir sang without
accompaniment his settings of sev-
eral spirituals—"Nobody Knows ths
Trouble 1’ve Seen,” “Weepin’ Mary”
and “Deep River.” Burleigh himself
sang the solo part in “Couldn't Hear
Nobouy Pray.” And there were not
2 few wet eyes in the vast audience
whe nthe lust chord of “Deep Mtiver”
was sung by the deep baritone voice.
Dr. Reiland reeatied that the fa-
mous New Worl Symphony of

doyree by Bui igh's influence. He
Curther stated that “thirty years axo

that he would become, as he is now,
the leading creative ‘genus of his

Since becoming a composer Mr.
Burleigh has written about 256
songs" and it is porbable that not
a house which contains musical tal-
ent in the land does not have at
least ong copy of the composer's
works. Mr. Burveigh said that he
hoped to make his greatest reputa-

After dinner. Mrs. Ballard received betty to sing for them, and the time passed very quickly until bed time. After day of the happiest period in Betty's homeless life passed by. Almost a month of her vacation remained, so she did not have to worry about getting back to the office. And each day she was secretly relieved when her inquiries about butty meals, and to darn and crochet. She was quite alarmed at the fact that Betty domestic education had was all sympathy when Betty explained that she had had to strive too hard for her business training it waste her time on anything not absolutely necessary to earn her livelihood. after the household duties were finished, she accompanied the doctor while he made his calls, and in the evening she sang for him and his mother. Day after day passed and finally Thompson inducted her into the employer that the reader was ready.
That: evening Mrs. Ballard had guests, and so after Betty: had sung for them, she ane the doctor slipped away into the garden. Overhead a silver moon flooded the world with mellow light. The perfume of resin filled the air. The perfect two weeks," she said. "I will never forget your kindness, Dr. Ballard, nor your mother's. Not many people would have taken a stranger in and been so kind to them as you did." "Miss Blake, Betty: do not talk to kindness on my part, do not kindness with kindness, Dr. Betty, dear, I fell in love with you the minute I saw you. I can't let you go out of my life, dear. Don't you think you can learn to love me a little?" "I-I'm afraid that I love you now!" The answer was so low that only a lover's ear could have heard, but Dr. Ballard gathered heart his son, and curried the nothings into her ear that meant so much to them.
When Mrs. Ballard's guests had departed, Dr. Ballard led his fiancée to his mother, who was highly delightedly at her so-called happiest step in Bettys' eyes at the kindness of her reception, for she realized that not every mother would have welcomed a plain little stenographer as a daughter-in-law. So Bettys' vacation did not become a pleasant memory, but was instead the beginning of a happiness that was to last through years and years of wedded life. And one of the most valued possessions of the doctor and his wife is a shiny, hard-working coat, which they mean to keep always, as it was the happy cause of their meeting.
"In Tamale Land," as presented by the Beta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at St. Elizabeth's Hall, Chicago. Last month, featured Miss Mary Gee as Bobby Hunter, the ardent man who, when separated from his sweetheart, Mrs. Deborah Henderson) became a stowaway in order to join in Tamale-Land, the mysterious
"b-h-hi!" A low cry of rapture hasten by Betty's lips as she reached the summit of the hill and quickly stepped her car to admire more fully the loom of the foot. Betty was which led her stenographer who after service and skimming for a number of years, had managed to buy a second hand roadster, and was spending her vacation touring across the country. Over the perfect world the settling of her home in a mantle of purple and rose as if to alone for its desertion with a final burst of splendor. Through the valley wound a silver stream and along its banks weeping willows nodded plaintively to one another. As though to complete the task, she opened the cottages below three suddenly floated the sweet, sad ones of a violin. Some one was playing Gound's "Ave Maria," and with a master's hand, Spell-bound Betty listened until the last note had faded into silence, and then, she pressed the starter of her car.
But the roadster, which had been braved splendidly for the five previous days of her trip, refused to start. **Fudge!** Betty explained really. "I wonder if I'm out of gas and where there is a surpring station." She quickly jumped out and measured it. "No, I still have plenty. I wonder what can be the trouble?" She glanced apprehensively at the sky, whose deepening shadow warned me that must listen if she wished to reach a hotel before dark overtook her. So Betty raised her hood and tinkered with everything in sight but the engine stubbornly refused to turn over. She considered coasting down the hill into the town below, where she was now so dark that it was impossible to determine the grade of the hill. Betty turned on her lights, curled up in the seat, and gave rise to her feelings in a good hearty cry. Her pardon, but I wonder if I could find any assistance to you in a very pleasant masculine manner.
Betty started, but a glance at the tall, slender looking young man who stood behind the car was re-assuring: "How you frightened me!" she pleaded. "I very sorry, but really you sound in so much distress that I could not sleep."
"He's on duty," she explained, "I need to watch the sun set, and then I need to start again. I did everything I knew to do, but it didn't work. I now how it's dark and cold and oh dear, I don't learn to do that." She finished.
"I'll be at it and see if I can do it."
He took off his coat and went to the office a few minutes to soon con-
clude that the job was beyond him.
"What shall I do?" Betty asked, as my mother just at the bill and if you don't mind that (far) I'm sure she'd put you up and we would for him by the way. I am Dr.

But after an excellent dinner, she set about charming his mother as only a child. She took the photographer, she had a wonderful voice and had not neglected it nor her pianoforte. When Betty retired that night it was only to dream of being rescued by Abraham when she came home another by the gallant young physician, and it is safe to say that Dr. Ballard's chum did not find him as attentive and interested as usual. Betty was not disappointed the moment she stairs looking a perfect vision of loveliness in her blue gingham house dress, for her host had finished his round of golf so quickly that he had returned home in time for wedding to the consternation of his friend.
He explained that his chauffeur had towed her car in, and was looking it over, but he did not tell her that he had privately instructed Thompson to be sure to take at least two weeks on the job. Mrs. Ballard suggested that Betty accompany her son, when he made his visits, and so the young people were in the afternoon they went to the club and played tennis, after which Betty had her first lesson in golf.

Two luminaries have been named: GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER, F. R. S., eminent scientist, creator of over a third of a thousand by-products from the pecan, the sweet potato, the peanut and dyes from common clay of the Southern soil.
FREDERICK DOUGLAS, orator, abolitionist, pioneer trail blazer.
Mrs. Terrell as among the first to nominate the Inte Madam G. J. Walker, who has been selected as one of the TEN. Madam Walker is the greatest single exponent of business in the race. An on-road at Dear Mother, phan at seven, a widow, a twentieth-grader, she traveled back and forth between Pittsburgh and Davenport, and we know that God did best. Finally settling in Iniapolis, where her great work was consummated.

In deciding such an elusive being as greatness, several pertinent questions must be settled. For example. Should gr stress be based upon popularity? How many great acts m it one perform before he is enfield to greatness? Popularity is a favorable asset, but not an essential. The Savior, the matchless "Great One" was not a popular being in his day. Says the prophet, "He was desied and rejected of men." Such is it with many of our great characters. One's being well known is not necessarily claimed as great. Thousands of people Jack Johnson and Mamie Smith, who will die ignorant of the fact that the selen-
Similarly greatness cannot be determined by single acts, though striking. Should our "Greatest" be determined by a few or the separate opinions of millions? It would be a stark prejudice to say that the masses would make a gross error were it possible to obtain their just choice.
A ballet taken from a hundred thousand persons, would doubtless, offer a cross-section of choices, considerably confused and, perhaps, unjust to truth. However, in order to balance opinion the Negro Youth Movement secured the services of people from different schools of thought and from both sexes. It is not interesting to note that makes regardmen among the most exclusively a feminine the ten greatest. With women a larger percent of the population among the mythical TEN. The choice of "america Ten Greatest Negroes made by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell might be taken as an indicative of the feminine attitude. This great scholar, thinker and orator, whose choice and reasons are listed below, says:
Here is a list of ten colored people worthy of mention. Whether they are the ten greatest will depend upon each one's point of view.
1. Crispus Attucks—patriot.
2. Phyllis Wheatley—First African woman to prove the intellectual heights to which it is possible for her sex and her race to attain.
3. Frederick Douglas—The first man of African descent to show he could measure arms successfully with members of other races, despite the handicaps. As an author, orator and publicist, he had few equals and no superiors.
4. B. K. Pruece - As United States Senator and Registrar of the U. S. Treasury, he showed his integrity, and intelligent manner in which he performed his duties, reflected credit upon his race.
5. Mime. C. J. Walker - Successful business woman. Established a large and lucrative enterprise, em-
physiology.
6. George W. Carver, F. R. S.-This scientist has attracted the attention of the world by the brilliancy and success of his experiments and achievements.
7. Roland Hayes-Has so successfully combatted prejudice by his wonderful voice that he is now engaged by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is regarded here and abroad as one of the greatest tenors of the day.
8. Lucy Lanye-Strugging against tremendous odds she secured an education, then with the small savings from her teaching position established a school in a farm house in Augusta, Ga. Later the institution was named Haines Normal and Industrial School in honor of a friend who came to her aid.
9. P. B. S. Pinchback—Governor of Louisiana for several days, he being the only Negro who has been governor of a state in this country. How much that amounts to is a matter of taste.
10. Robert Hoberton Terrell—Judge of the Municipal Court in District of Columbia for the past 22 years. He was first appited to President Theodore Roosevelt and has been reappointed by every President since then. He was reappointed twice under a Democratic administration, because of the fact that member of the Bar Association urged his remaining on the bench. He is the only colored judge in the United States.
Misses Ruth Bowles, Valeria Martin, Mary Mayy, Blanche Smith, Ruth Thomas and Mary Cecile Miller, under the direction of Mrs. Hazel Thompson Davis. In "Tamela Land" proved a combined Spanish countryside, South Sea mystery, and fictional fray. The proceeds of the play were donated to the Beta Chapter Scholarship Fund.
I Would—
I would be TRUE for there are those who trust me,
I would be PURE for there are those who care.
I would be STRONG for there is much to suffer.
I would be BRAVE for there is much to dare.
I would be FRIEND to all the many friendless,
I would be GIVING and forget the gift.
I would be HUMB'E for I know my weakness.
I would LOOK UP, and laugh, and love lift.

One French house is making a speciality of a new silk jersey that has a woven ribbed effect almost like th. lines of a raised fabric—being thick and white, lined with a pale green crope, this fabric was responsible for a smart three-piece: the little frost beneath was cut straight, with pleats at the side of the skirt and a sailor collar and pockets daintily bordered with the green hemstitched on.
The plain, short, sae, loose-elved coat showed with a border inside treated in the same way. As usual, this costume was completed by the fabric felt-cloche.
Say what one will, and in spite of every prediction to the contrary, the cloche shape is still popular for hard wear and sports. Several are shown with a brim producing an unexpected curve, but in the main—as is only possible with a really useful shape—it should have a little brim, and firmly grip the head.
The cloche fits the head and shades the eyes in a practical and becoming manner, and the Frenchwoman, at least, will not willingly depart from it. The sartorial fact remains that the prettiest new millinery modes reveal many new sport hats, and those with a variety are in the familiar cloche design.
Red is the only very bright shade fashionable for day wear, and even that should have a pinky white surface that suggests a more subdued note than the orthoion scarlet. Willow green and cafe-au-lait are delightfully rendered in wool and silk mixtures.
There are innumerable checks and patterns observable in the newest worn suits, for once again it is a

Pittsburgh WYLIE AVENUE
THERE is one thing we have been planning to take up with the Pittsburgh Railways Company for some time. It is this: Conductors (on the Bedford and Lincoln stations) have the nauseating habit of cramming their mouths just as full of Lorillard's Beechnut or Moll Pouch tobacco as they possibly can, then entertaining the passengers throughout the run by seeing how accretly they can split through the door from their seats behind the token box, while the trolley is in motion. Half the passengers have to stand and the deposit falls on the steps. New passengers have to tread in this filth in order to enter the car.
Orders should be issued that this practice must stop. More than one woman has been seen turning up her nose in disgust.
—O—
THE white woman who was picked up by two "bulls" about 1:30 Monday evening at the corner of Wylie and Logan is said to have routed two men with her bure fists—one white and one colored.
Were you on the Avenue Saturday afternoon between 3 and 6? More folks than you could shake a stick at. Spring certainly is being felt in these parts.
The heavy snowfall Tuesday morning was certainly a good April fool.

On they go chasing and playing! I catch their spirit—I too, shall have a run in this frost-laden air that gives zest and life. But, alas! I remember that cruel accident, which deprives me of my freedom, and under his genial rays the plum tree stretches himself and drops some bits on pretty frince round around him. Frozen in a reubel as, inch by inch, the lace work on post and pane falls silently away. The Scotch plaid and Morris chair look inviting; so wrapped and seated I take up the latest nugget. The book has lost its charm. I want sunshine; outdoor delight! A flock of snow birds light on the old cherry tree and send a thousand pearls shimmering to the ground. An inquisitive wren sits upon the window and crumbles I scatter. The warmth and comfort of room, chair and plaid c.nspire against me.
I close my eyes and long for fairer climes, sweet flowers, the songs of birds. The walls of the room recede. They vanish * * * * soft, baltic breezes fan my brow.

A LOT of people from the Avenue go downtown to buy their groceries. At McCann's, for instance, the motto is "Absolute Resilience." You buy chicken at 800 and the bird weighs 8 pounds, you pay $1.80 and your conscience lets you rest. But, it is said that in some places on the Avenue if you buy a bird at 400 and he weighs two and one-half pounds, you are $1.20 and the bird to pay $1.50 as $1.00. Merchants on the Avenue undoubtedly haven't caught on, to this yet. But the longer they live the more they will learn.

The apartment is enveloped with sweet perfume exhled from fragrant cups of lilies and acacias. On I go through quiet lanes and roads fringed with rich foliage and green trees thrilling in the morning breeze. Through fields of waving corn into clever mendows and lacquered woods. Groves of oranges and citron, of olive and almond beguile my feet until I stand in a quaint, old village. The low, adobe houses gleam in the sunlight. A profusion of flowers and fruits grow near door and open window; while mulberry trees, rich in fruit, line the village street into the fields beyond. A woman with a black-haired child in her arms comes from a cottage and handed me a platter of juicy fruit and a gourd of water from a spring near by. We enter the cottage. Save a pine table and a vase of flowers, a golden thing—a huge loom. A gray-haired woman enters, seats herself at the room and begins to work.
Swiftly the shuttles fly in and out of multi-colored mesh. Silently she works, nor lifts her eyes, intent alone upon her task.
A younger woman womade me eneer to dress, and showed to my wondering gaze silken robes of every shade and hue, out-rivaling the bow that spans the heavens. Rich dyes from the far East; Syrian purple and "showy" scarlet; golden tissue from Persia's store of wealth; are designs marbled with gold and allent charm to th; costly styles which lay in lustrous fold or billow web.
Soon came fair maidens and cairning-matrons bedekeding themselves in these silken robes, then gaily lifted away like bright butterfly.
As I stood watching this aimless there came a crash! Was it the loom? My book dropped to the floor. I drew the warm plaid

Let us not ask: what shall we do with our newly acquired power? Rather, what manner of women are we going to be? What ideas are we going to have? What stand we are going to do more or less? What fairs of life? Most antiquities have been the federating of our cities. We are coming to know each other better; learning the powers of criticism; the rubbing of objections; source of usefulness to our elite life; and an important function will be to spirit among our women; to large great organizations four distinct phases are recognized — education, co-operation, communication. May these words be inspiration, a signal for action. Let us face the future college and university motives: courageous to attend patient under adverse criticism, ours to ouroes, hopeful for spiritual and intellectual uplift, the girl and woman of tomorrow gathering the threads for the BLANKET-MAKING TIME.

On the Coming General AM. E. Conferenc3
At Louisville, Ky. °
(By Rheby)—
‘The interest now-primarly of
those who ere connected by mem-
bership, and are adherents of the
African Methodist Episcopal
Chureh; is focused upon Louisville,
Wy., the seat of the General Con-
ference which will convene in the
Armory, May 4th.
What’ it will do, and how they
will do it, none can tell; with a de-
cided increase of units, ‘and more
lungs to do, or to do with,
‘Many prophets (?) have spoken
concerning the outcome, and bare
put a large number on edge, as to
the destructive character of the
things that will probably be done.
This state of mind, has come as a
result, of, much publicity, in crimi-
rations and reeriminations, in a con-
troversial battle between’ some of
the Episcopal heads, and the aceu-
ations brosdeested by a General of-
icer. «
‘There ehould be no fear of any
of these prophets (2) utterances,
being reallzed. It all evidencos the
fact that, the church is not saleep,
but wide awake; conscious of its
imperfect places. As long as tho
chureh knows its weak places, and
stands ready to remedy them, there
ig no fear of « “split.”
But the church is not yet perfect
as such. All of the church militant
are human, subject to what is com-
mon to humanity. So it does things
some times, like the <ordinary hu-
man tribes and it may do just sonic
of those very thingsp at ‘the Gon-
ference in Louisville, then you have
considered its composition, I 2m cer-
tain, sou will be surprised if they
do, not.
That _ General Conference will
Rave 758 delegates, coming from
South and West Africa, West_In-
‘dian Irlends, South America, Ber-
muda, Canada, and from 28 states
of North America.
The delegation will be composed
of 17 Bishops, 11 General Omicers,
28 Presidents and Deans of Colle-
ges and 3 retired Chaplins..
‘There wili be 189 lay delegates.
Fifty per cont of this representa-
‘tien ave serving their first time as
delezates, und one of the most im-
portant committees (Episcopacy)
‘will have two-thirds of its member-
ship entirely new. With this large
assembiy of men, each anxious to

‘inds of notions sane and other-
wise, one may look for noise, and
more noize.

With the Churches.
Boosevelt Memorial Temple, Rev Dr. Sylvester L. Corrothers, pastor last Sunday. L was a great day at the Temple. Services in the morning were largely attended. The pastor delivered a very forceful sermon. At the evening, services the Benevolent Protective Order of Reindeers hold First Annual Reindeer Services in honor of their deprived dead. Sermon for the delivery was delivered by Dr. Corrothers, which was a masterpiece. During his discourse he emphasized the fact that although the Order of Reindeers was 'young Fraternial order and has been in existence only a little more than a year they have accomplished great work. The doctor laid special stress upon the principles upon which the order was built—Service, Unity and Victory. After the sermon presentation of a purse was made to each—the pastor, the choir, the janitor and a purse was presented to the trustees of the church to be applied to the mortgage fund. Mr. Albert Richardson, president of the Board of Trustees, accepted the purse for the church. The religious work at the Temple is progressing very nicely. The church has a strong board of trustees which co-operates willingly with the pastor in dealing with affairs pertaining to the church, us making it much easier to accomplish things in connection with tremendous temples proposition. Next month voting the Improved Bun- Protective Order of Elks. Pride of Newark Lodge No. 93, will hold their Annual Memorial Services at the Temple. Dr. Corrothers has been asked to deliver the sermon on this occasion. It is expected that between 800 and 1,000 out of the 1,800 membership will be present at the Memorial Services. At some future date later in April the Olympic Lodge, Knights of Pythians are dated to hold their memorial services at the temple.
St. John's M. E. Church, Rev. Wm. A. Hubbard, pastor. Services at the church last Sunday were conducted by Rev. M. Jackson, of Yonkers, N. Y., in the absence of the pastor, as he was away attending the annual conference which convened in Philadelphia last week. Quite a large number of the membership of the church formed a delegation and went down to Philadelphia during the last days of the conference to attend in a body. At this writing we only receive longer reports of the service of this offer; it is a practically assured fact that Rev. Hubbard will be returned as pastor, and it is also announced as a settled fact that the annual conference of the district will be held in the city of Newark next year.
St. James A. M. E. church, Rev. Carl F. Flipper, pastor. On last Sunday Bishop W. W. Vernon, of South Africa, delivered a sermon at 11 o'clock, which was very forceful and instructive. Bishop Vernon spoke at length on conditions as they exist in South Africa and of the splendid; work the great A. M. E. Church is doing over there. The Bishop was also principal speaker at 8:30 o'clock in the afternoon when he addressed the missionary workers of the church. At the evening services a sacred concert was given by the 15th Regiment Band of New York City under the direction of Lieutenant Eugene Michael.
Christ Congregational Church, Orange, N. J., Rev. R. J. Strothers, pastor. On last Sunday the church celebrated its Second Anniversary and dedication of the church. A splendid program was rendered and the Rev. W. M. VanPelt was the principal speaker in this occasion. The church choir was at its best and was very well represented, ally fine, Mrs. Estelle Daniel, who was mistress of ceremonies for these services had a shower of congratulations for putting over such a wonderful program.
The Pilgrim Forum, Dr. Edgar E. Ricks, pastor, held services as usual last Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at the Roosevelt Memorial Temple. The Rev. Ricks delivered a vary forceful sermon and a collection of $124 was raised. During the services Mr. Allen Bland, Sr., one of the leaders prominently connected with the Forum, announced that 200 had been collected during the four weeks of the church service, was also announced that plans for the purchase of a church for the congregation were about complete and that within the next few weeks they would be worshipping under their own roof. The wave of gossip has almost died completely out now and some of the Baptist minis-
YOUNG BLOOD FULL OF LIFE
How I Keep Feeling Young and Vigorous at Near Sixty
Just remember if you want to be strong you must get your blood full of life and after you have taken Bulgarian tea a few times you can tell at once that it's going to give you that fighting spirit that every healthy man or woman has. Don't wait another day—go to your druggist and get my Bulgarian Tea for your blood and don't take imitation. Look for my name on the Red and Yellow box—that's the genuine. If your druggist is out of it I will send it to you Postpaid by mail for $1.00. Address me, H. H. Von Schlick, President, Marvel Products Company, Dept. 7, Marvel Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.
tegs who have been the Rev. Bick's most severe orilies, are gradually renewing their friendly relations with him. On last Sunday afternoon the Rev. D. J. B. Brooks, pastor of North Clinton Baptist church in East Orange, was an unexpected visitor at the Forum services. He made some remarks, glowing in praise for Dr. Ricks and invited him to speak from his pulpit any time he got ready. During Dr. Brooks remarks he said that the one thing that Baptist folks would do was to run their pastors when they began to keep up close with the finances and that, seemingly, these false rumors that were put out against Dr. Ricks have increased his popularity. The Forum has a drive on for $5,000. An after-collection was raised amounting, to eighteen dollars and some cents in response to an appeal from Mme. Mattie Morrisk, matron of the Good Samaritan Orphanage, as a defense fund to defend herself against the charges made by the health department and the Children's Aid Society. Because of the unsanitary and immoral conditions that existed at the home, Dr. Ricks has long been an ardent supporter of Mme. Morris and her work and is firm in his belief that the charges as made are greatly exaggerated.

polgen Committee of New Jersey has been successful by quiet and earnest work in the past eight weeks in bringing about a complete organization in every county of the state. We had, at first, no such organization as the Coolidge people, so we had to begin from the ground and work up. We have had no brass band procession, but quiet, effective work, which we hope will bring us success. Mr. Verdon, the Johnson leader in New Jersey, talked with u. and asked our help in forming a ticket. Without any dictation it was left solely to this committee—which was the best way of bringing about success to the ticket. We honestly and, for once, unanimously believe in our recommendation as to our candidates to be voted for April 22nd. The committee did not act hurriedly, but went over the list of available candidates carefully and I have we been successful in giving to the public three high-class candidates, who have been, heartily approved of by the leaders in the movement. Mr. Cozart, of Atlantic City, for delegate at-large, is a successful, for delegate at-large, is a female worker in all lines for the success of the race. Mrs. M. Cheeks, candidate for alternate in the Ninth Congressional district, is a young woman of splendid quality, a active political worker and a social favour. She is the best and fair 'ul worker for the betterment of the race and has been championed by the younger element of the race who believe in independence of thought and who work for the best interest of all of our group in every way. Mr. Sylvester Stewart, the chairman, has worked unceasingly to bring about a working organization and has been ably assisted by the other officers of the committee. Mr. J. M. Stout is treasurer and rms. Cheeks secretary. To their uniting efforts we cannot give too much credit. Let us all rally to their support for in the younger element lies the future hope for our race. A full list of Johnson delegates will be published ii. next week's issue.

Mr. William Ashby Renders Community Great Service.
Monday, March 14, 1924, thirty colored orphan children were rendered homeless as the result of the activities of the Children's Aid Society and Dr. Chas. E. Cratter, health officer of Newark.
Mrs. Mattie Morris, a well-known race woman, has maintained an orphanage for the past seven years on the volunteer contribution of the colored people. This orphanage has been run simply because there are no provisions for colored children except placing them in different families over the state. The colored people of Newark are opposed to this policy, hence, they have stood behind Mrs. Morris in her institutional work.
Mrs. Morris is not an educated woman, but she has great interest in the interest of the youth of her race as well as a wide influence in this community, both religious and civil.
Colonel James T. Brewington, Jr., of Chicago, is a candidate for the position of Republican State Central Committeeman from the First Senatorial district.

Mr. and Mrs. Carter return special thanks to Mrs. Fannie Hayes of 10 Conkling street; Mrs. Rosa Clay of 610 Morgan St.; Miss Ellen Carter of Horton St., and Mrs. Cleo Hays of 629 Jinnilla St., and extend a hearty thanks to all the employees of the B. & O. Station forces that did all in their power to assist Mrs. Carter at all times. Yours in F. C. & B. No. 28, F. L. & T. No. 1535, and I. B. P. O. E. of W. No. 124. Signed, J. W. Henry Carter, Beatrice P. Carter.
IN MEMORIAM
In memory of William Doffmyer,
of Wheeling, W. Va., our devoted
father, who departed this life March
21, 1914.
We cannot say, and will not say,
That father is dead.
He is just away,
In that peaceful grave's embrace.
His memory will be cherished,
Till we meet him face to face.
His children who loved him.

"I am near 60 years, but I feel as young as I did at 80. I take a cupful of Bulgarian Tea once or twice a week. It keeps me healthy, strong and vigorous and makes me feel young again," said H. H. Von Schlick, manufacturer of Bulgarian Herb-Tsa. Don't feel like a victim of the hookworm. Get back your pep, vigor and energy. Start right now to become strong and healthy. Don't wait. The rich invigorating juices brewed from Bulgarian Herb Tea make you feel 10 to 30 years younger.
This is an extraordinary procedure, prompted by an extraordinary reason. March has been a very unreasonable month, and Easter is so late that everybody has been delaying their Easter Purchases. The result is that next week the whole city will make one grand rush to buy and we shall be completely overwhelmed. Our selling and service organizations will be taxed to the very limit of their capacity. That's why we want YOU to buy THIS week.

Arthur Hohl, Starring In
“White Cargo,” Says
Part Is Inconsistent with
Past Life.
NEW YORK, April 3—Arthur
Hohl, a white actor playing in
“White Cargo,” recently gave an in-
terview to the New York Americar
in which he said he did not like
the part of 2 Nesro-hater which
he had to play. i
“There are some parts that won't
permit, a_man to be democratic,!
said Mr. Hohl. “Here Iam trying to
be a good American in private life,
while in Leon Gorden's new play
Tum compelled to imagine myseli
a Nogro-hater eight times a week.
It's inconsistent with my past life,
even thought the play is a power-

set down, or will in due time, all

Lincoln Giants Open Season With Victory
By A. Armstead Williams
NEW A. Arminsted Williams
BY A. Arminsted WORK, April 2—With practically a reorganized team the Lincoln Giants under the guidance of Judy Gans opened their 1924 season at their home grounds, the Catholic Protectory Field, with a hard contested victory over the Howards of Brooklyn, Sunday March 30 with a score of 5-4. The Lincoln's used three pitchers, Brown Holland and Starks in subduing the Howards. The fielding was ranged. Scales lost the home run. With the Howards two runs, with the score tie in the eighth inning and the bases loaded. Scales lifted a high fly and the men were left on bases.
The inability of the Lincoln's to score in the 9th inning continued the game to 10 innings, after a long drive of Gee's was caught by Granet in left field. Williams failed to beat out a single in the 10th. Marcel followed and singled, stealing second and third. Marcel came home on Wilson's hot liner and the game was over.
Many new-faces appeared in the Lincoln lineup. With the exception of Marcel, Hudspep, Gee, Holland and Scales the team has been strengthened by Williams, shortstop, from the A. B. C's; Kenson, center field, American Giants; Wilson right tiled; St. Louis Jackson, left; field, Southern League; Burnett, catcher, A. B. C's; Starks, pitcher, Roya Giants; Donald and Chambers, pitchers.
This Sunday April 6th the strong Chester Pn., club and the Camden N. J. nine will play the Lincoln's in a double header.

"Lefty" Williams, star southpaw, arrived here from his home in Virginia late last week and announces himself ready and 'tarin to go' Williams is one of the most reliable pitchers in semi-pro baseball, and has been offered many chances to play with clubs in both the Eastern and the National Negro League.
Beckwith, former American Giant star, arrived in Pittsburgh Tuesday afternoon, coming back with the Loendi quintet, which played in the Windy City last Friday and Saturday. Beckwith's appearance here set local baseball circles buzzing over the strength of the Grays for the coming season.

Girls and boys, this is the attraction that manager Bob Douglas is putting over as the preliminary to the Married men vs Single men game at the Renaissance Casino on April 6th. On this evening the All Stars of Harlem will tackle the Buffalo jaws. It ought to be a good game at that.
The St. James Crowns returned to their kingdom crownless last Saturday evening, for the very good reason that their crowns are now worn by Slocum, Mayers, Monde, Monte and Wadell. These boys scaled their royal guests and naturally took their crowns away. The score was 53-28.
The Spartan Whirlwinds have been living up to their name. The Whirlwind is spasmodic, hence the name given to this team, which travels one day like a streak of lightning and the next like a river tugboat. The Whirlwinds latest reverse came last Saturday evening when Jackson's All Stars laid down a barrage which swept everything before them the score was 49-19.
The New York Y. W. C. A. went to Brooklyn last Saturday evening and played the Brooklyn Y. The referee who apparently was inexperienced allowed rough tactics on the part of the home team to go on the New Yorkers, with the result that the game was a one sided affair. Score 33-9.
Over at the 125 street Y. W., they have glass, wood and steel. Perkay, if some method can be adopted whereby the coherence of these substances can be brought about, the team will show up to better advantage.
Douglas Hudson, has been elected Treasurer, and Vernon Ritchie Publicity manager of the Athletic Committee of the Manhattan Lodge of Elks, No. 45 N. Y. City.
The Elks are extending the basketball season to April 11th so as to get an opportunity to meet the Commonwealth Big Five. Slocum, and Mayer will thus get another chance to meet Grant and Fial.
With the closing of the basketball season, a number of the players will lie scurrying out of the city to join baseball teams. Geo. Fial and Fat Jenkins are going west so we are told.
That Strangler Forbes is still popular with the basket ball fans was assured last Saturday evening by the applause that went up every time Frank made a basket.
As an announcer Vernon Ritchie has our friend over at the Commonwealth heat by a lung power and voice carriage.
The Y's next attraction will be the strong McClure Presbyterian team who are in a triple tie for first place in the North Side Church League. Such men as Captain Johnson and Wimber of the Allegheny High team will appear in the McClure team lineup.

NEW YORK, April 3 — Sylvester Joe Williams, pitching for the Royal Giants Sunday afternoon, is believed to have established a newark-out record against Bashwicks at Darner Park, Brooklyn, only to lose the game in the twelfth inning.
Williams struck out 25 men, after he had relieved Flourney in the first inning.
The game, the first of the season in New York, was witnessed by one of the largest crowds in the history of independent baseball, and Williams' as he toiled inning after inning, slowly but surely wrote his name in glided letters in baseball's mythical "Hall O' Fame."
Williams was sent into the game in the first inning to relieve Flourney, after the latter had allowed two runs.
With three men on, two out and the count 3 and 2 on Jimmy Hickman, ee-Dodger, Williams retired
K. C. Monarchs To Play Games
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 3- With practice games between the Regulars and the Yanigans on tap for next week, the Kansas City Monarchs are getting into form, as the second week of their training season looms.
The team practiced for the first three days outside, but the latter part of the week worked out in the Royal Live Stock Building, due to inclement weather.
The team at present shapes up as the strongest in the West, with practically all their veterans back in the fold. Next week an exhaustive survey of the different departments of the team will be carried, to show their real strength.

The time for the distance totals 5 minutes, 18 seconds. The former record was 5 minutes, 21 seconds. The team will run again this week in an effort to break other school records. Not content with breaking this record, the team, late last week, entered in the sprint medley relay, and succeeded in establishing another school record, breaking the former record by 1-5 of 4 seconds. The time of the different men follows: Cowan, 1 lap, 17 1-5 seconds; Howard, 1 lap, 17 2-5 seconds; Talbot, 1 lap, 35 3-5 seconds; Smith, 2 laps, 36 3-5 seconds; Allen, 3 laps, 56 seconds.

Lincoln Giants and Hilldale Clubs Have Edge On All Other "Hat Corner" Men in East.
BY LEOY D. F. THROMPON
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 3—Singular as it may seem for the last decade the number of really first-class third sackers that have been turned out in colored ranks resemble an ever thinner post of G. A. R. veterans and fortunate, indeed, is the manager who does not have to lie awake at night with thoughts of sereeching liners, tearing gaping holes in the left flank of his inner works or teasingly tantalizing slow buns going down as hits for fleet-footed opponents, who catch the third sacker flat-footed and back of the grass. The "not corner," as it has been appropriately dubbed, has been a source of much worry to many managers.
The question of selecting a ball player as the peer of any position, is the signal to start the wise ones into an argument that will have all of the ear marks of Tea Pot Dome and mean less than the selection of a mythical All-American football team. However, the facts remain and stand out with the prominence of a front door knob, that in the East, records for 1923 show that there were two young and agile passers who cavorted around in the neighborhood of the hot corner, that out-stripped the field in the Eastern Colored League by a couple of city blocks. Judy Johnson, who is a member of the Hilldale Club, champions of the 1923 canter, and Ollie Marcell, who wears the spangles of the Lincoln Giants, are the joint holders of premier honors as guardians of the hot corner, with very little to choose between the two.
Both lads have come out in the last few years, Judy had a chance with the Hildale Club in 1918, but his slight build caused E. Bolden, to turn him drift for further seasoning. In 1920 the Hildale pilot recalled the Wilmington youth, and he has been going "great guns" for the Philadelphia aggregation ever since. Marcell was brought out by T. Jackson in 1917, and has played with the Atlantic City Bacharachs, Brooklyn Royal Giants, New York Bacharachs and when the latter club founded, Jim Keenan grabbed the Texas flash. Ollie is in a class by himself when it comes to tipping in on slow buns and getting them across the diamond and hits hard, but not quite as consistently as Judy Johnson.
Harry Greb Cancels Bout With Norfolk
BOSTON, Mass., April 3—Harry Greb, Pittsburg's worlds middle-weight champion—has cancelled an engagement for an Eastern bout this week. Greb has called off his ten round decision match with Kid Norfolk. Scheduled for Friday night before the Faneuil A. C. in Mechanics hall, Boston. The club says the explanation given by Manager Mason when he talked with matchmaker Joe McCarthy over the long-distance telephone Saturday night was that Greb has been hurt in an automobile accident and had received a bad cut over his eyes, requiring a couple of stitches. According to Boston reports, Leo Flynn, manager of Norfolk, when informed of the postponement, said:
It's so more than I expected.
I thought that a match between Greb and Norfolk was too good to be true, and I will never feel assured that they will come together until I see them in the ring. Something always has to comeup to prevent my Panama cycleone and Greb from coming together in a return contest. Harry evidently hasn't forgotten what Norfolk did to him in their Pittsburgh meeting, and while I am willing to believe that he is really injured, he probably is pleased to be a real excuse to back away from the fight. Flynn and the club immediately notified all the boxing commissions throughout the country, asking that the adopt the working agreement with the Boston commission, and that Greb be not permitted to fight any one else until he meets Norfolk for the Faneuil club in the Hub.

Lee Anderson Completely Outclassed Atlanta Sensation-Makes New York Debut—Others Score Victories.
NEW YORK, April 3.—Down in the swat call him "Tiger Flowers," and thousands of today ready, willing and anxious to subscrib or "nom de plume" under which this new Atlanta, Georgia, sails. Although the "Tiger known as some of the other gladiators who good in these parts, his record was of su forced its way through the barrier of truth was announced that he would meet the born Lee Anderson, it sufficed to bring out ing to the Commonwealth Sport.
Tiger Flowers weighed in at 164 pounds, while Anderson was announced as having tipped the beam at 174. In the afternoon, eye-witness at the weighing in came out with the announcement that Anderson at that time weighed 177. Be that as it may, the preliminaries of introduction out of the way, the ball sent them on their way and as the "Tiger!" bounded from his corner, he carried the crowd with him.
Has Form of "Tiger."
In and out, around and about he danced about his heavier opponent, and with lightning-like blows, he stopped the bull-like rushes and plastered Anderson in a manner that evoked applause which carried the enthusiasm of dyed-in-the-wool fans witnessing the performance of a human being living true to the applause of the jungle.
One truly visualized the jungle animal whom Flowers was so appropriately named, and like the willow feline queen of the jungle, he clawed and clouted Anderson almost into submission. The end of the round found Tiger Flowers acciailed as a new nistic sensation to our midst and throughout the entire twelve rounds he maintained a pace which was marvelous.
Anderson Floored.
Round about the third round, he knocked Anderson's mouth a molur which went to the floor as is from the forceps of some dental surgeon. Anderson's face far from gave a picture of beauty. In the fifth stanza a piston like left followed by a snappy right, sent the Bostonian to the canvas, and he arose like a madman. He it was who for a moment returned to the jungle and gave an imitation of an enraged lion.
But for the cleverness which is the 'Tiger's, Atlanta would have heard sad news are the end of this round, but the lion reckoned not on the cat-like cleverness of his opponent, and the willowy body of the "Tiger" in the clinches would, write and squirm in a manner which took away any effectiveness from the few blows which passed his wonderful defense. More than once he was fouled by Anderson, who resorted to every known trick of the game to stem the tide of battle, but he was heartily booed by the capacity crowd.
Wins in a Romp.
Flowers won his fight in a romp and was as fresh as a daisy at the conclusion of the fight. A gentlely "tiger," this Flowers, and his welcome here is one of the warmest that has ever been accorded a new comer.
In the other bouts of the night, Whisso from Washington took the decision in the four round encounter. For a new comer he made a good impression.
In the six round encounter, Henry Shaw met Jack Tilyou and was given the decision at the end of the fight.
Little Johnny Gardner made another impressive showing when he took Eddie Tucker, white Philadelphia, into camp in the fifth round. Tucker started out sensationally, only to wilt under the severe body punishment meted out to him by his rugged opponent. Gardner is rapidly becoming a prime favorite in these parts, and if he keeps up his work, will probably be given his chance in main bouts.
Buddy Saunders of the-15th Infantry, who met Gardner once before, is again challenging him, and indications point to another match between these two firebrands. Perhaps the McMahons will, if importuned, see their way clear to make this fight the semi-final encounter to the Estridge-Flowers bout, which takes place at the Commonwealth on April 19.
Gerard Williams Fails To Report
WEST BADEN, Ind., April 3—Snow greeted Indianapolis on their arrival at West Baden Monday, but regardless of the weather the club took the covert track for an hour's drill. On Tuesday noon, Holloway, who signed a contract Tuesday, left for Baltimore, while Williams, at this writing, had not shown up at camp. "Candy" Jim Taylor arrived sixteen strong from St. Louis, and will alternate on the diamond with Indianapolis. The first exhibition game of the spring will be played here between these clubs Saturday and Sunday.

At last Harry Wills hos decided to let Tex Rickard stage.a battle for
him. We learn that the Brown Panther has heen signed to fight Luis, the
‘Angel; Quinton Rojas of Chile or Erminio Spalla of Italy, in New York
in June or July. If successful against the Latininvader Tex promises
that Ne will run Wills into a match with Dempsey. Harry has agreed
to fight on a percentage basis in both bouts, Mullins eaid.
The Irisher-Americaner combine had previously turned down a bid
of 150 grand for a tilt with the Argentine Troglodite. This also dis-
poses of the report that Wills and Dempsey were to fight for Jim Coff-
roth at Tia Juana.

‘The Philadelphia Giants have started spring training at Sith and

Philly's coming big time team, the Panthers, turned back another
Toe last week when they stopped the Hellfighters of New York, composed
of Harold Jenkins, Louis Garcia, Clif Perry, Hopkins and Saitch.
Friday night they play the first game of a two-game series with the
Kappa Guards and the fur is expected to fly. We shall hazard no guess
as to the probable winner. Each team has something to be commended
for. Panthers have teamwork and the spirit of fight. Kappa has sev-
‘eral stars whose individual brilliance is greater than anyone /on the Beas:

would shoot the roll on the proposition that the Phillies and) the A’s will
NOY battle together for the world’s championship next fall.
It sould seem, after all, that Ben Taylor and George Robinson have
ie right idea. They have-consistently refused to give out|for publica-
tion the names of players signed by them for this season, saying that
they would ‘wait until the noble “athletes” had reached trhining camp,

String Beans Williams radios us that he has changed his mind and

We saw another demonstration of the Biblical truth that a prophet
is without honor in his own country. We were in Lancaster the other
Inight, officially. ‘Three Red Roses were on the fight card and the best

bouts. When two Lancaster boys were announced as the winners of their

If any other fighter was ever held in the esteem which is Joe Gans
we have not met up with him. Wherever lovers of sport forgather and
hoxing is the theme, Gans is acclaimed as the squarest shooter of all.
|The men who fought hint and whom he licked give it to the Bronze Bal-
‘timorean. Jack Hanlon, the Phillly promoter, suffered two defeats at
|the hands of the Old Master, and today he says that Gans was the
jcleanest and greatest boxer he ever met. His first bout with Joe was a
ten-round decision affair at Ford's Opera House, Baltimore, in the spring
of 1901 It went the limit and Joe was returned the winner. .
Marty McCue, now a solon in the New York Legislature, was booked
to fight Gans on September 1, 1901. On the 28th of August he broke his
shoulder while training and had to eancel. Al HereYord wited Hanlon in
Phillis, asking him i€ he would substitote. | Jack assented, He weighed
145 and ha dto make 135, ringside, three days later. Such a rapid re-
diction weakened him and when he faced Joe in the Eurcka club,, Balli-
more, he knew that if he did not get Gans with one punch it was cur-
tains’ for one Jack Hanlon. a
In the first round he dropped Gans to his knees, but that one panch,
on which he had staked everything, was not enough. In the second round
Gans hit him and—to use Jack's own words—knocked him 18 feet across
the'ring, the bell saving him. ‘The third round was the last. The Old
Master rained a torrent of blows on Hanlon and finally dropped him. Jack
was not out, but he could not continue,
This fight-drew a $1,400 crowd, which was the most moncy that had
ever been taken in at a prize fight in Baltimore up to that time!

4,Word comes to us in @ roundabout way that Stevens, Hilldale's
utility infielder, has been loaned to Harrisburg for the coming season. If
true, we think it a bad tove, because the Darby boys may need Stevie's
help most any time. To our mind it is # question whether Bizz’ Mackey
can make the grade as & shortstop and hold up his end at bat at the
same time. The big fellow may surprise us and develop into a star, but
behind the bat seems to be his best bet. The last 215-pound shortfielder
we saw Was on a tam which represented an industrial plant in a flui-
‘son river town, near Albany. As they say along that dear ol Tremont
street and in the Back Bay section—"it just is not being done."_

We gladly say a word for Joe Wood, who is the mainspring behind
the Panthers in Philly. Joe writes-us that he caw a statement in his
favorite weekly to the vifert that Loendi had m hard time getting their
money from evéryone on their Inst trip East exept New York. | Mz.
Wood solte properly takes umbrage at that crack and desireg the world to
iow that Manager Posey res paid off as soon as he elected which of
the alternative proptsitions he would accept. While Joe had no All-
American players in his equad he is going to give all of them a éhase
‘next year, Atnong other things he promises a big surprise in the shape
of a new hall. (Yes, we know. Ask him; it's his secret.) =

Sirs. Daria Ann Cooper, Of 020
Webster Ave., born on’ Sam Stone's
Farm, Baltimore, Md., ‘March. 81
1824, ‘celebrated her one; hundredth
‘birthday Monday, March'31.
__, Mrs. Cooper was. born in slavery
She has a wonderful’ memory and
can tell of things that happened
during her youth in such a mannet
as to make one think it-had only
been one hundred days ‘instead of
one hundred years: “Granny,” :as
everyone calls her, wasia slave of
Sam Stone, who, on his death-bed
set her and a number of other slaves
free. Sam. Stone's nephew fell’ lieit
to the farm after his uncle's death
and tried to hold the free Negro in
slavery. -He hired “Granny” out ti
various families, but always collect:
ed her wages. At this time she was
the mother of one child, Annie, who
was about 2 years old. Learning of
her master's plans, she took her
baby one dark, rainy ‘night and
walked 12 miles to the railway sta~
tion, where she boarded a train for
York, Pa. :
“Granny” came to Pittsburgh 50
years ago from Harrisburg, Pa., and
has made her home here ever since.
“Granny” has one child, five grand
children and four great-grandchil-
dren, the oldest of whom is 19 years.
Although deprived of, educational
advantages. she has lived to see her
great-grandchild enter Pitt Univer-
sity. 2
| Large numbers of friends camé
throughout the day to extend their
congratulations to “Granny” upon
having passed the one hundredth
milestone. She was the recipient-of
many beautiful gifts and cards. Two
things which particularly appealed
to her were a cerise charmeuse baz
containing 101 pennies;.one hundred
for each year she has lived and one
to grow on; and her birthday cake.
The cake itself. is worthy of special
njention, forlit is very. seldom one
sees @ birthday cake with one hun-
dted candles.

‘The Hospital is benutifully loca-
ted, situated on a knoll halfway
between Chehaw and Tuskegee In-
stitute on land given the Govern-
ment by Tuskegee | Institute. No
money was spared in the planning
and constructing of the group of
buildings which constitute this hos-
pital.
There are 270 patients in the hos-
pital under treatment for all con-
ditions resultant from the war.
Many of the men are less. than 10°
incapocitated, while others are
hopelessly tuberculur and insane.
These men have every possible care,
she dest of food and every oppor-
‘tunity for recreation and amuse-
ment.
The services of 260-people are re-
quired to_care for these men. Qf
this number only five are white, the
other 255 being colored. Major
‘Charles M. Griffith, Commanding
Officer and Dr. G. L. Johnson, Ex-
ecutive officers are two of the re-
maining white officers. Dr. Joseph
Ward of Indianapolis who is sur-
geon in chief is rapidly taking over
the work of Major Griffith. From
my observation it is a matter of
only a short time before Dr. Ward
will be the Commanding Officer of
‘the Veterans’ Hospital at Tuskegee

colored stenographers care for the
‘correspondence and clerical work of
‘these department herds. Thirty-
eight colored registered nurses arc
rendering efficient service in their
profession, while fifty nine colored
orderlies give practical aid to the
patients.
Until two weeks ago the white
members of the staff occupied the
beautiful houses and apartments
built on the grounds, but under or-
ders from the War Department.
These houses have now been turned
‘over to the colored men who are
gradually being selected to fill these
important sta positions.

‘There is no real reason for Jeru-

a footnote of explanation, because
practically everybody who reads the
story will take it in a positive lit-
eral sensé, as the average person is
not familiar with all the artistic mo-
tives of authors and playwrights.
‘Now let us take the scene of the
wedding where Ella and Jim leave
the church. What other couple in
their position would have placed
themselves in that. unheard of po-
sition in which they found them-
selves on that morning of their mar
riage. It is more than evident that
Mr. O'Neill does not know the Ne-
gro race and it seems to be doubt-
ful that he knows his own race, at
Jeast as far as handling a situation
like this is concerned. I doubt if he
could find, anywhere in this broaa

When they return from France
and have their interview with Jim's

fairly reeks with insult to the black
‘race and in a pitiful effort to soften
‘this insult the author makes Hattie

makes the white woman the victor

done for the very subtle and sole
purpose of keepinse before his read-
ers and audience his belief and con-
tention of the superiority of the
white race. This attitude is also
maintained regardless of the fact
that the white woman in this case
isa social ontenst, a derelict and a
‘common ordinary type-not far Fe-

Jerusalem interested me. I was sur-
population of 60,000, more than half
of which are Hebrews. The greatest
disappointinent I experienced, came
in realizing that in Jerusalem, the
birthplace of the Christina religion,
there are today only 14,000 Chris-
tions, 8,000 of whom ‘are Greek
Catholies aad Copts, 4.000 are Ro-
man Catholics and 2,000 are Prot-
estants. In fact, you have to take
in Bethichem, where there are no
Jews, to get the 14.000 Christians—
and this after 1,900 years!
However, when you come to an-
alyze the ‘six religions that have
lived, ail having some moral foanda-
tion, you find, that all were started
by the yellow or brown races. ‘The
white oF black racevhas never fath-
ered a religion that lived. The teach-
ings of Christ are sulted to the
white race, but originated with a
brown race. All Greek Catholic pic-
tures of Christ and the Virgin Mary
depict them with dark faces, dis-
tinetly Arabic in character. No
doubt this is a proper delineation,
for a white man. would have been

“If I had all the country’s flancees in 3 convention hall, I'd say to

"What does he think of his boss? Beware of the man. who tells yot

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. April 3—One of the most shocking cases of administration of school crimes on Saturday the W.J. B.

Earnest Nunn, 75 years old, a captain of the Bury School, was cruel to the principal of the Bury School, said, on Saturday that time she entered the school but she was not taken to the mother, think-ing she was not present at first, but as she went in and apparently she took her to Dr. Nunn.

Musicians' Union Day Not To Interfere With Friday's Game
PHILADELPHIA, April 3.—Joseph Wood, president of the Panthers A: A., in a statement to The Courier today said that the holiday proclaimed by the colored local, A. F. of M., would not interfere with the Kappa-Panthers basketball game scheduled for tomorrow night. This local, of which John Thomas is president and Jerome Lee secretary, without previous notice to patrons declared a musicians' union day for Friday, on which day no union musician is allowed to work unless he is under a season's contract.
In self-defense, since he had already engaged a hall and paid other preliminary expenses, Mr. Wood has had to take rather novel and drastic methods to provide music for his patrons. A surprise orchestra will be on the job. The management hopes that any criticism of their action will be tempered by this knowledge of conditions confronting them.

As we pass this way, let us not forget that others are passing, too. So we cannot go this journey of life unless we pause to consider our fellowman. We must cross the high roads and climb the hillsides. And if we take the hand of a stragler, a wayward traveller on the path, how much lighter does it make our way, how much sooner do we reach our goals.
There are boulders on the wayside and we stumble and fall. But ah! that is only a trilie—we are, up again and with a renewed spirit, we puss on.
Dissappointments, failure, happiness and success go to make up the chain of our lives. We must have our eyes us and we must console and sympathize someone. Life is incomplete without companionship—there must be a love in every life. So—as we pass this way, let us not forget, that others are passing, too.

Three Men Ill;
HintBadBooze
Three men, employed at the Jones and Laughlin' Steel Corporation plant, South Side, were found in the boarding house of Thomas Berry in an unconscious condition at 5:50 o'clock last Thursday morning. The cause of their illness is a mystery. The men are Ward Anderson, William Johnston and Fred Wilson. One of the men, after regaining consciousness told the police that on Wednesday morning they had taken some medicine they found in the room. Police are investigating to learn if the men had been drinking, the night before or if they were addicted to the use of narcotics. Physicians at the South Side Hospital say they are unable to tell the cause of the illness of the men. Anderson is said to be in a serious condition.
Home Campaign For Hospital Nurses Getting Under Way
PHILADELPHIA, April 3.—Quite unique in the amusement and entertainment annals of the city will be the Gala May Fete and extraordinary entertainment to be held in the Metropolitan Opera House, Broad and Poplar streets, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, May 28 and 29. This will be under the auspices of the Frederick Douglas Memorial Hospital. The object is to secure funds to erect a Nurses' Home for those indefatigable women who are now so badly cramped for living quarters while in humanity's service.
All of us know the necessary part nurses play in the life of a hospital. We know that without nurses every hospital in the city would be compelled to close its doors. This objective, therefore, deserves the loyal, unstinted support of every red blooded, patriotic Philadelphia.
The Douglass Hospital personnel of nurses comes from all parts of the country, and, at the present time their living quarters are sadly overcrowded. Never before has there been such an urgent need for a separate building which can be used exclusively as a nurses' home. The rest and relaxation which are so necessary to their well-being and efficiency cannot be secured save in quiet, isolated quarters.
The Douglass has treated more than 60,000 out-patients, a record in itself. The sum of the results observed plus those due to the future should please our WANT. Of the contributors who will build the new nurses' home. The god in the machine, the force behind the organization is the founder and superintendent, Dr. Nathan F. Mossell, whose tireless efforts have made such a wonderful power of this child of his brain.
Details of the marvelous program to be rendered in the beautiful and spacious Metropolitan Opera House will be announced later. An honorary committee of arrangements will embrace national, state and city notables. Special campaign headquarters have been opened at 807 Franklin Trust Building, 20 South Fifteenth street.

Escapes Fire On Roof
One man slid to safety on a rope from the third floor, when fire threatened the destruction of an apartment house at the southeast corner of Thirteenth and Twelfthwater streets.
The fire started in an apartment on the second floor over the drug store of Herbert Ruff, where the occupants had gone out leaving a gas stove burning. Mrs. Lizzie Burton, who occupied the apartment above, smelled smoke and found four rooms on the second floor in flames. She then ran to the drug store and L. W. Wasserman, a clerk, turned in an alarm.
By this time the flames had reached the third floor front and Frank Rose, who was alone there, fastened a rope to a bed, threw the other end out and then slid to safety just as firemen arrived.
Shot By Storekeeper
Kroman Easton, 20 years old, of Olive street, near Fourth, was shot through the right side of his chest in a cigar store at Eleventh and Vine streets.
William L. Brown, 60 years old, proprietor of the store, who shot him, was arrested by Sergeant Whitworth and Manning a policeman of the 10th and Buttonwood streets station. He told the police he had given Easton correct change for a dollar in payment of a tobacco purchase, but Easton had objected and demanded more.
“There have been so many holdups,” Brown said, “that I was afraid this was one, and I drew my automatic pistol and shot him as he came at me, knocking down a showcase.”
Easton is in the Hahnemann Hospital in a serious condition.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 3. After twice failing to answer a summons to Magistrate Scott's court, one Charles G. Strakoff, reputed manager of the Aline Theater, 19th and Chestnut streets, was finally brought before him on the charge of attempted assault and battery and remanded for a further hearing.
Miss Josephine Williams, 125 Salford street, and Edward T. Green, 1925 Ellsworth street, went to the theater and attempted to use the tickets which Mr. Green had pursued in advance for the performance. Mr. Green handed the tickets the ticket-taker who passed them to a girl usher. She, in turn, handed them to Manager Strakoff. He disappeared with the tickets in the direction of the box office. After a few minutes delay, Strakoff returned and informed them their tickets had been for a performance of an earlier date. Mr. Green insisted that the tickets he had presented were for that night. The managers then swore at them and asked why they did not attend their own theaters as niggers were not wanted at the Aline.
Miss Williams, also, tried to reason with him. But at this he roughly grabbed her arm and forcibly ejected her from the theater. Strakoff then told Mr. Green he could have his money back, even though he had insisted their tickets were for a night that had passed.
Magistrate Scott held him under $500 bail for a further hearing.

After remaining over, to attend the meeting of the lodge the following night they were agreeably surprised by having, the Pride of Newark Lodge unanimously indorse the present Grand Exalted for the third term. In some of the marks the endorsement statements such as the following greet out; Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finely Wilson has in his tenure of office created more new lodges than all the Grand Exalted Rulers preceeding him. This was indeed sufficient reason for his endorsement and the lodge also received to the lodge also other lodges in New Jersey endorse this man who has accomplished so much in so short a time.
No bpains were spared in the entertaining of the guests of honor by their hosts and hostesses. They were present at the minibreak after the reception, and given in their honor during their brief stay, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson was the house guest of Dr. Leroy. Backstater and a cab was placed at his disposal during the reception, and the aldered Ruler Wilson built all of his previous efforts at oratory in the speech rendered by him and it was received with欣慰 due such a worthy effort. Such ambition as his, prevents the prevailing of anything that would attertain him.

Col. Sanford M. Thamzs, First Regiment K. of P's, Held Meeting Monday Evening, March 24
Monday Evening, March 24
Col. Sanford M. Thomas, commanding the First Regiment K. of P., held one of the most successful meetings of that regiment that has occurred in this vicinity in years. Every officer of the regiment that attended was enthusiastic over the success of the several projects under consideration. Their first series of entertainments will be held at Iron City Elks' Home in the near future. Each member of the several battalions consented to donate and establish for the occasion. It should be the duty of every captain to solicit from each member a voluntary donation, for it to help rebuild this once cracked organization among the uniform ranks of the country. You have a good leader in Colonel Thomas. He is a military man from the ground up and it is up to every member of the rank to back him up in all his undertakings for the upbuilding of your prized regiment. The regiment has secured an excursion boat for their first annual outing the 4th of July—don't forget this date. They have also set the date for an entertainment at the home of Capt. Norris of East End. The date will appear in these columns for each affair. Among those who attended were Gen. Buris, Gen. A. J. Lewis, Gen. T. D. Gunn, Col. Nellons, Col. A. B. Rice, who were called upon to express their views. All promised their unintended aid, morally as well as financially, to the Colonel-for his efforts to build up this dilapidated organization. The meeting closed with a prayer by Col. Gainey.
Six months ago there was started among a group of men of the East End a small fraternal organization, giving themselves the name of "Big Four, Business and Social Club." Little did they think that in that short while it would grow to such proportions, numerically as well as financially. But today, that little acorn is becoming a big tree, and at the present rate she is growing.

A Commendable Move
FAIRMONT, W. VA.
Mrs. Ruth Meyer, who has been visiting friends in Cleveland, returned home Friday. A very interesting basketball game was witnessed by a record breaking crowd on last Wednesday, when Dunbar High defeated Kelly Miller of Clarksburg. The score, 22-18. Arrangements are about completed for a bazaar and carnival dance at EKR Rest in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. William Dabney and daughter, Hazel, of Grafton, were guests to Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Dabney, of 618 Fairmont avenue on last Monday. Mrs. William Perkins of Weston was in the city on business Sunday. Miss Mabel Mumford of Pennsylvania avenue, who has been quite ill, is improving.
ere long, she will bear fruit that will not only surprise its fathers, but the public also. At the meeting held on Thursday evening, March 27, a number of members joined. The meeting was held at the residence of Mr. J. A. Wilkerson, 6618 Deary street, E. E., They had an old-time chicken and hot biscuit dinner at the home of Secretary F. C. Reynolds. The committee: J. H. Dorge, T. Wilson, S. Norwood, A. F. Shelton, F. C. Reynolds, Willie Pleasant. The present officers are: West F. Campbell, president; S. L. Norwood, vice president; F. C. Reynolds, secretary; W. S. Golden, assistant secretary; J. A. Wilkerson, treasurer. The next meeting will be held at the home of B. J. Jetter, Mignonette street. Wanted to know the whereabouts of Walter Stephens (colored). Address, Richard Reid, Box 6, Baydon, Va.
The B. M. C. Committee of Odd Fellows met Inst Monday night with a banner attendance. The announcement of signing a contract for Forbes Field for the grand prize drill and field day on September 11 was read. The selecting of the several meeting places were halted with great applause. All committees made excellent reports which showed that every one was doing his bit for the success of the affair. The selection of Col. J. W. Anderson as chairman of the Housing Committee, representing the Masons, Elza and Odd Fellows, shows not only a good fraternal feeling, but that the arrangements for these three great conventions are to be conducted in a strictly business manner in the honor and regulation of Pittsburgh is at stake. It is hoped that the public will support us and make the stay of our many thousand visitors one long to be remembered.
Improved Barcovolent and Protective Order of Filia of the World Office of Grand Secretary Newark, N. J., Mar. 25, 1924. Secretaries of Subordinate Lodges: Blanks for reporting the April quarter of your hodge are enclosed herewith. Kindly oblige me by returning same at your earliest convenience.
State of the Order
I am pleased to say that our order is meeting with wonderful success. In fact, never in the annals of fraternalism has any organization approached the enviable record we are making in rapid expansion and growth. Not only are we progressing numerically, but I am happy to say we are bringing into the folds of Ekdom many of the very best men of our race, until it can be truthfully said that no organization has a finer type of manhood among its membership than that comprised in our beloved order.
The foundation of every organization is the caliber of its membership. If it is to grow and prosper it can only do so by the concentrated and cohesive efforts of its members. Stability, loyalty and race pride are essentials to a full measure of success and it is gratifying to know that the great majority of our members are fully alive to this fact and are playing their par. well with the result that Elkidom stands pre-eminent among the fraternal organizations of our race.
Not only does our numerical growth testify to this fact, but the fast accumulating wealth of the subordinate lodges in bank balances and real estate holdings are material and unerring evidences that our foundation is not built on the shifting sands, but on the solid and immovable rock of permeity.
New Lodges

PINEY WOODS AND ITS STORY, by Laurence G. Jones. Published by the Fleming H. Revell Company, 158 Fifth avenue, New York. 164 pages. Price, $1.50.
S. S. McClure of McClure's Magazine says: "A story (told by himself) of a Negro of education, intelligence and sensitiveness, who turned his back upon everything that usually makes life worth living, and went, without money or influence, or even an invitation, among the poorest and most ignorant of his race, for the sole purpose of helping them in every way within his power A valuable human document; a paragraph in a vital chapter of American history."
Laurence G. Jones was born in the North and went to school in the North with white children and graduated from high school in Iowa. But he early felt the call to help his own people in some positive and particular way, so he went into "darkest Mississippi" and started with as little as Booker Washington started Tuskegee, and within comparatively a few years he is writing the story of his increasingly successful venture. Mr. Jones was equipped to go into other work in more congenial climes than in the South, but he chose to begin at the bottom with his own. For this decision he cannot be too highly commended. In these days of "passing the buck" one who elects to put his shoulder to the wheel and help push us basically along is not to be lightly spoken of.
The story of Piney Woods is human and convincing, and above all it is inspiring. The author has given a much needed and worthy example of self-sacrifice. With the assistance of his worthy co-workers, and with the aid of the white people of both sections of the country, he has built a monument to progressive effort at the very beginning of things for a people who are just entering the portals of modern progress and civilization.
THE HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK TIMES, 1851-1921, by Elmer Davis of The Times editorial staff. The New York Times Company, publishers, Times Square, New York. 434 pages. Price, paper bound, 50c; cloth, $2.00.
A good review of the history of the New York Times is an excerpt from the statement by the publisher, Adolph S. Ochs:
The New York Times' peculiar position in the esteem of the public may make its history of interest not only to working newspapermen and students of journalism, but to many readers who are unfamiliar with the technique of newspaper-making and unacquainted with the personnel of The Times. Some episodes, particularly controversial episodes, have been treated with a certain reserve, as it was felt that it would not be wholly fair to present only one side of the case. But in no instance has accuracy been sacrificed to brevity, and it is the belief that nothing relevant to the history of The Times or to its interpretation, has been omitted.
I am pleased to be able to say that The New York Times is firmly established as an independent, conservative newspaper, free from any influence that can direct or divert its management from a righteous and public-spirited course. It is within itself financially independent and in the enjoyment of a large and increasingly profitable legitimate income from circulation receipts and advertising revenue—in the aggregate probably the largest income of any newspaper in the world. The net result of its operations is beyond the earlier dreams of those who are its chief beneficiaries, and fortunately they know no interest they can serve that can give them greater joy, satisfaction and comfort. I wish that thought could find lodgment in the minds of those who may be inland to believe that some ulterior object may at times influence the policy of The New York Times, so that they may understand that, being free from pecuniary necessity or personal greed, no sane man would voluntarily forfeit the confidence and good will of intelligent people by degrading himself through loss of his self-respect or the surrender of his independence. Persons may disagree with The New York Times—with its treatment of news and its views thereon—but there is no ground on which they can attribute to it base or improper motives for such differences of opinion. The New York Times is an open book and may be taken at its face value; it is no worse than it may seem to appear; its faults are those of human fallibility and we cherish the knowledge that at least in purpose it is better than we have been able to make it appear.
Mr. Davis' history of The Times is interestingly written in a free and easy style. It describes and narrates the growth of what was once one of the least newspapers in New York to a position of influence and security. The record of that newspaper seems to be an open book; the principles underlying its success appear sound and praiseworthy. Students of journalism may read the book with much profit. It is an inspiring story with a good historical background.
stated one. This makes a total of 67 lodges instituted since the close of our grand lodge meeting in Chicago.
It is safe to say that no fraternal organization of any race has ever done as well in the same period of time and the indications are that we will have made at least one hundred by the time the grand lodge meets in Pittsburgh next August.
The following lodges were made during the last three months:
In the fertile soil of Texas, where it is expected many more lodges will shortly be instituted.
I would also call attention to the fact that Bro. C. C. Valle has been responsible for the institution of nine lodges in the last three months, which is a record that has seldom if ever, been equalled by one of our deputies.

Friday evening, March 28, is a day long to be remembered by 22 stalwart men sitting and waiting for the calling of their names as I waked into the waiting room to put my friend, "Slim" Hamilton, standing head and shoulders above the rest. I viewed him with great sympathy, wondering if he would be able to make the grade. But after all, he was the jolliest man in the bunch. "Slim," the eleventh candidate to have the horns put on or knocked off. We had barrels of fun, plenty to eat 'till the wee hours in the morning.
On Sunday, March 8, at 2 o'clock p. m., all members met at the Elks' Home on Larimer avenue on a very sad occasion to march with muffled drums to Ballard's funeral church to hear the last ceremony over our beloved brother, Samuel O. Nelson, by Rev. H. P. Jones.

Tribute to Harry. Burleigh
IT is seldom without its reward. Harry is noted musician, adds more credence to one of New York's most fashionable artists Sabbath, a fitting tribute was paid to it, but gives interpretations to his merit, and merit alone that won for Harried attention. He was among the people more than a decade, and yet his service and value through all these years to temporary worshippers. There is more than man who can do what Hargre Burleigh He has combined a gentlemanly quality which makes of him both the finish examples as Burleigh offer us inspiration to prove the value of living well and want to the people of New York have been and his manner of living has been upon the level. Few men have lived to see them and appreciated. Few men have wrought thankful for people who see beneath the soul of the man. We are grateful for a democratic people of New York City, will follow the lead and accord properly, ever found and by whomever possesses these redeem us from the curse of self, more the lie to those who believe in the color.
MERIT is seldom without its reward. Harry T. Burleigh, the noted musician, adds more credence to the saying. At one of New York's most fashionable and foremost churches last Sabbath, a fitting tribute was paid this man who not only writes, but gives interpretations to his composition.
It was merit, and merit alone that won for Harry Burleigh this very marked attention. He was among the people he has served for more than a decade, and yet his services held sufficient charm and value through all these years to make of his employers temporary worshippers. There is more than a musical soul in a man who can do what Harry Burleigh has done in New York. He has combined a gentlemanly quality with his natural gifts which makes of him both the finished musician and the man.
Such examples as Burleigh offer us inspiration. Indeed, he has lived to prove the value of living well and working well. His services to the people of New York have been above par at all times; and his manner of living has been upon the same high and constant level. Few men have lived to see themselves thus honored and appreciated. Few men have wrought so well as Burleigh.
We are thankful for people who see beneath the skin, into the brighter soul of the man. We are grateful for the example set by the democratic people of New York City. It is hoped that others will follow the lead and accord proper recognition to merit wherever found and by whomever possessed. Such incidents as these redeem us from the curse of selfishness and give once more the lie to those who believe in the supremacy of race and color.
Dollar for Dollar
he has said that there is nothing temperate American dollar. We take the liberty to sweep, nor does it smile. It has not held for another. It speaks the latter interpreter. Every one seems to understand dollar.
personal is the dollar that men and women and highly sensitive about other things; matter of course any and every custom in the all-powerful dollar. Business is of dollars it can and does earn. If we give the earning power predicted for it, so as the best and quickest medium of it, the earning power desired.
currier carries in its columns various kinds present, each week, various kinds of buy seldom think of the reason back of it read each week. Each and every bushe Currier carries to its readers a message the dollar. Inducements are offered for it. And nothing is said about the colored; that is taken as fixed when the inserted in The Currier the attractive purchasers of his wares.
currier, on the other hand, seeks to put business houses whose proprietors act and desire our patronage. We eliminate under the circumstances, any business; nishn courtesy in full measure while it金钱 value. We have paved the way for center any business house which appear columns of The Currier.
have not gone to this trouble without our are business houses which do not a age, and they do not want our patron no right to expect us to patronize the preference to the houses that seek in the columns of our journals. Our rule they are getting actual money values their friends when they patronize the bus. The advertisement of a store mean to come in and give them an opportunity. There are houses that refuse to action. These houses are not expecting surprise them by forcing our patronage the cold and exacting rule of the bus us our pass word. Let us use it where warranted. Put your dollar where you will to see it again.
SOME one has said that there is nothing temperamental about the American dollar. We take the liberty to add that it never weeps, nor does it smile. It has nothing for one which it does not hold for another. It speaks the language that needs no interpreter. Every one seems to understand the very soul of the dollar.
So impersonal is the dollar that men and women, who are scrupulous and highly sensitive about other things in life, accept as a matter of course any and every custom incident to the accumulation of the all-powerful dollar. Business is based upon the number of dollars it can and does earn. If a business does not have the earning power predicted for it, advertising is resorted to as the best and quickest medium of lending to a given business the earning power desired.
The Courier carries in its columns various kinds of advertising. We present, each week, various kinds of business. Our readers very seldom think of the reason back of the advertisings they read each week. Each and every business seeks to have The Courier-carry to its readers a message calculated to attract the dollar. Inducements are offered for that very same dollar. And nothing is said about the color of the customer desired; that is taken as fixed when the advertiser causes to be inserted in The Courier the attraction he offers prospective purchasers of his wares.
The Courier, on the other hand, seeks to present to its readers the business houses whose proprietors actually cater to our trade and desire our patronage. We eliminate, as rapidly as possible under the circumstances, any business-house which does not furnish courtesy in full measure while it attempts to furnish money value. We have paved the way for our readers when they enter any business house which appears in the advertising columns of The Courier.
And we have not gone to this trouble without sufficient reason. There are business houses which do not advertise for our patronage, and they do not want our patronage. These houses have no right to expect us to patronize them until we have given the preference to the houses that seek our patronage through the columns of our journals. Our readers must learn that they are getting actual money values for themselves and their friends when they patronize the houses that patronize us. The advertisement of a store means an invitation to us to come in and give them an opportunity to sell us what we want. There are houses that refuse to offer us any such invitation. These houses are not expecting us; and we should not surprise them by forcing our patronage upon them.
This is the cold and exacting rule of the business world. The dollar is our pass word. Let us use it where we are welcome and wanted. Put your dollar where you will have some opportunity to see it again.

SOME weeks ago, The Pittsburgh Courier took the position that the investigation of Attorney General Daugherty was not calculated to hurry President Coolidge into any official action with respect to Mr. Daugherty. We were quite sure the President would wait to see some proof of guilt or some inconsistencies growing out of the proceedings before he acted. He has acted, and the world knows that he acted, not because he thought Mr. Daugherty had been proven guilty of anything by the evidence offered before the committee, but because Mr. Daugherty was placed in the peculiar position of defending his official position, and at the same time advising the President with respect thereto. The President thought that Mr. Daugherty should not try to fill such a position and rather than be placed in the light of accepting advice from one whose department was under investigation, and whose personal in-

Editor, Pittsburgh Courrier;
Sir-I have read so much about the late play of Eugene O'Neill in the newspapers, so much so by the white papers, and have heard so much discussion about it, until it seems that the people have started a "voluntary" Barometer of Public Opinion. That's why I am writing you to let you know my disposition toward the play; and Mr. Editor, I think I can tell you in five words: I DO NOT FAVOR IT! And I have reasons for saying so. I cannot understand white writers are taking in colored characters, such as "Veuled Aristocratus" and "All God's Chillun Got Winers". Why the immediate in-

In Eugene O'Neill's play (from the synopsis that I have read) there is nothing to oxalate either race. There is no moral type shown, no lesson taught, no higher ideals shown. The right, the wrong, the ignorance such a play? The white character the ones who are kicking, we say, yet it should be us. They have no "kick coming," because the character in the play is not worth kicking. Doesn't Mr. O'Neill show in his own way the inferiority of the woman? Doesn't he reveal to the public what he sees in the woman's own race? Isn't she an outcast to them an immoral degenerate, a woman of the lowest type? Then of all things, have a prominent Negro lawyer

Are you forever being recaptured by this thing or that, just anything, or do you hold fast to your purpose, how to the line and stick to your objective, all earth opposing?

Do you stray far afield chasing butterflies? A charm to your childhood. Don't let little things trip you, discourage you or entice you from your course. If you must be stopped, let it be by an obstacle worthy your mettle, thus resolved you cannot be numbered among the light who are "stopped by pubbles, charmed by butterflies."

Come cheer up, Pal, for life is short.
Let's tough it out as host we may.
Let's let the pass with careless laugh.
For death must claim us all one
Live while you can with cheerful heart.
Blot those lines upon your face.
Don't always sigh and wish to die.
For too soon you'll run your race
I know your life is none too sweet.
And sometimes seems awful rough.
But set your face and win the race.
And life's path, although tiring.
You know, old pal, that others.
Beside yourself have had some pain.
But they sigh and wish to die.
And lose their heart beneath the no pal, they each have tried anew.
To climb the ladder in the last.
A few have failed, but more pre-erre. From old earth their souls have passed.

Do you think, ordinarily speaking, that this will span the chasm of race prejudice? What do the Negro women of America think of such a play? I suppose it is a mark of it's highest respect shown to them, to recognize the man of the man are overlooking them for the ignominious characters of the other race. NO! I am a woman and I know. It's a reflection not only on the race, but on every individual Negro (especially men) of the race. Why did Mr. O'Neill select a man to the man other for his play, when there were hundreds of colored women fully capable of playing any character that is produced. There are reasons for all things, and Mr. O'Neill had his reason for uniting a Negro lawyer and a white degenerated woman. We don't like it, that's all.

Negro Education Copyright 1924, by P
TWO distinguished Americans of color have recently returned from Liberia, West Africa, and both are emphatic in their assertions that the black republic is making rapid progress. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis, who represented President Coolidge with the rank of envoy extraordinary,iste plenary attorney at the inauguration of President Charles D. B. Kim for his second term, says of his observations there:
I spent one month in Liberia, a week in Sierra Leone and 10 days in Senegal. I spent a total of four months abroad and tremendously impressed with the beauty of Africa and especially of Liberia and its future opportunities.
Mrs. Helen Curtin of Brooklyn, N. Y. was specially invited by President Obama his wife to be present at a conference on January 7. Upon her return to this country she gave out a statement, a part of which follows:
I had not visited Liberia since my husband's
upon General, which had been cut short by his death
Having passed through the thrilling expedition to Rovia, I was particularly anxious to return and see her.
There were signs of advancement on every alde, and the manages to give it the opportunity to set the place Liberia had, not only as an independent black republic, but internationally, and to have no automobiles. Now it is a common thing to have a couple of hours' ride on the road recently connected to the place Liberia has, and program which is being carried out. The native chiefs have heartily entered into co-operation with the government, and another giving freer access to the interior trade.
The legislature, which has just adjourned, has passed some of the most beneficial enactments of recent years, among them, new debt laws, a law that would allow the government to fund miles of road upon their own initiative.
The legislature, which has just adjourned, has passed some of the most beneficial enactments of recent years, among them, new debt laws, a law that would allow the government to fund miles of road upon their own initiative.
From these reports by eye-witnesses who have no axes to grind, we feel safe in saying that Liberia may yet take her rightful place in the vanguard of progressive nations. She may yet vindicate the faith of those who nearly a hundred years ago made a move toward giving her greater chance to demonstrate his latent and potential capacity for self-government.
WITH the slogan, "the hope of the farmers and industrial workers," a call has been issued by the Farmer-Laborists for a third party convention LaFollette is expected to lead the new group, should they decide to buck the old line politicians and so before the country independently.
In the last senatorial elections avowed progressives and radicals won in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Washington, Iowa and Nebraska. A progressive governor won in Colorado. Some of these men ran as Republicans, and some as Democrats—merely a matter of convenience. In the progressive bloc in Congress Democrats and Republicans alike have co-operated with the Farmer-Labor senators in almost total disregard of party ties. Around this nucleus centers the attempt to build a national third party. We can be seen that this discontent is largely in the West and Northwest. The farmers are dissatisfied. But if it is hardly to be suspected that a half dozen states can turn the tables on institutions of a half century and more standing. Relief in some way will be found for the farmers. President Coolidge has said as much. To rush matters might cause unnecessary delay.
It takes no straining of the imagination to foresee a change of sentiment within the next few months. The voters of the West and Northwest will realize before November that their special grievances are not the whole show. Then they will line up with other patient citizens and give Coolidge a chance to put his program through. They will realize that individual corruption is not so widespread as has been intimated, and that even though certain Republicans have been guilty of misconduct, there are Republicans remaining that they have served and punished. They will also recall that through the reeferment which we have just passed, the only cool man in Washington was the head of the Republican party. Even the progressives went off half-cocked. These facts will cause much serious thinking before any third party gets popular recognition. And once these facts are thought over, a third party will be still farther from a national foot-hold in American political life.
CONGRATULATIONS are in order for Miss Jessie Redmon Fauset, literary editor of The Crisis, on the completion and acceptance for publication of her book, "The American Experience," appear this spring bearing the Boni and Liveright trade mark, of the most outstanding publishing houses in New York. The story, as announced, is a study of the Negro in the North—"the better class."
At a dinner at the Civic Club, a fashionable and famous hollyday in the downtown section of New York, notables, writers and literary folk, both white and colored, expressed appreciation and encouragement on Miss Fauset's undertaking. Carl Yon Doren, literary editor of the Century Magazine, and Horace B. Liveright, of the firm that accepted the work, both spoke encouragingly and urged greater literary effort among Mr. Fauset; who also Jean Toomer's fantastic and extraordinary "Cane" brought the depressing news that "Cane" did not take so well with the public. But, he said, he stood ready to take another chance with any promising and worthy literary aspirant. We do not as yet know what the merits of Miss Fauset's novel are, but she is correctly praised for making the effort that has proved successful thus far.
The Writers' Guild, an organization of the younger writers, sponsored the occasion at the suggestion of Mr. Charles S. Johnson.
E. FRANKLIN FRAZIER, director of the School of Social Work at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., in a recent vigorous article on Negro education in Opportunity, says: Today Negro education faces a crisis. This crisis is the resulting of missionary and philanthropic support. The spiritual rather than an economic crisis. The education might have prepared the Negro to live in heaven, but it did not fit him for the culture in the old education in its day did give the Negro an objective. Negro education offers no objective to Negro today. Old ideals have been dislapped. Negro today is either working with the old ideals or is adopting a narrow and selfish individualism. Hence the large number of the professions as a means to wealth and enjoyment, and not as a means for deeper and more responsible participation in our civilization.
This is a clear-cut statement of a question not easily faced. The deeper we delve into it, the less we know how to answer. But what the writer says is true, and we must eventually develop some kind of a solution. The old ideals are inadequate. The Negro no longer has the opportunity of going to heaven when he dies. He wants something here on this earth, in this life more than mere material assets.

For Negro education is white education, and if there is hundred million American students enrolled in tion, it is a case of training a man will see him dead before you will see it. This is not only paradoxical
"The Negro is either revolving around ideals or is adopting a narrow and selfishism." We rather think the Negro has raised the old ideals—the young, or "new" Negro the individualism—practically true, but, some of the younger Negroes have found themselves and interpret everything in terms of black. They exalt the black and minimize Where the contrast is too obvious they are as an example—grudgingly and certainly other hand, there is the second that the and is apathetic.

But Mr. Frazier concludes:
Nevertheless, spiritual and theological ciliation of the Negro awaits the attention of the Negro community reported in the press by Negro emigrants, the best that civilization can offer, savants can add to human life, multigeneration values which are essential to Negro values.
This is in line with what we mention ago in connection with the separate issue. We said then that our education should us a "spiritual and cultural unity." And best be done, we thought, by sending our own teachers. But this question is to solved in five minutes, and for the past content to let the future take care of it.

DANCING is under fire. Churches are condemning it with their attacks mainly on the "dance dance rather than on dancing itself." It is sold and a few pet drunk, then the blame. Or if some liberties go to with varying antics to the strains of the dance is attacked as immoral. But dancing is all right. It is a kind of recreation.
