League Disbanded—Blount Claims He Was Systematically Robbed by Booking System. CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 24. What is perhaps the biggest baseball scandal of all times broke here last week with the announcement "that Andrew "Rube" Foster had tendered his resignation as head of the Negro National League, and that the organization had automatically disbanded, with the withdrawal of the deposits of the different clubs, which is in reality the only binding cord. The splitting of the league came about on December 15, the day before the Detroit Stars, has exposed an allied hotbed of graft and corruption in a series of articles, the second of which appears below: BY J. TENNY BLOUNT DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 23—"As I suggested in my article of last week, I shall attempt to tell you how and why I ball clutched the Negro National League. I feel that I owe it to my many friends to explain my reasons for leaving the league. I shall tell them of the things I was compelled to put up in order to win for themselves—it is a wonder how I put up with it for such a long time. First, let me say here I am not ungrateful and am duly mindful of the things Mr. Foster did for me, although I admit I would not have permitted it so them had I known it is moral alive. It was in 1919 when Foster found himself obligated to enough baseball players to form three clubs, due to the fact that the war had just released them and they came to Chicago seeking employment.

"Third Degree" Methods of Old School Politicians Over; New Group In Charge Wm. C. Matthews Heads New Order of Things—Selected Because of Understanding of New Method. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 24. Wiseares J. and about the Capitol are said to be the opinion that the "line-plunging", and "strong-arm" methods of the old political leadership of the Negro group are over and are to be replaced by new methods of procedure, thoroughly compatible with the laws which the Republican National Committee adopted during the cam mign. The overwhelming victory of the Republican party, last November, gained through a systematic but quietly-executed method, void of bombast but effective to the last detail, the proclamation of the thoughtful people all over the country. Hon. Willia - C. Matthews, leader of this new group, trained at Harvard, and P. 'Roiglyb' conversant with quiet New England efficiency, was selected, it is said, because of his methods now in vogue in connection with political reconstruction-work. And the problem which now confronts Mr. Matthews and his associates is to make all the members of the Negro group,理解 that the must be permanently laid away, and that, in their heart, quiet, orderly endevour, thically exercised, must be put into play. In this way it is thought that a coalition of the best minds of our group can be ultimate helpful contact, can be made with 't he leaders of the Republican organization. Old School Clips On Although the hand-writing on the wall is as plain as it is, it is said that the best leadership is leisure to give up the choosies. They are, not alo- gather satisfied with the quietude which reigns in the ballwicks of the New Leadership, and are sighen, it is said, in their belief that an old brook takes the corners." They cling tenaciously to the "big stick" methods of Medieval political days sinks or swim, according to their own rules and regulations. They seem doomed to "sink."

NEW YORK, Dec. 24—The af- fairs of Marcus Garvey grow mare and more entangled as the days go by. Not only is he confronted with the possibility of going to Leaven- worth, Kon. to serve the five-year sentence imposea by Judge Julian W. Mack in June,~1923, which is scheduled for the final arguments in the appeal within the next few days, but his first wife, Mrs. Garvey No. 1, has ebie back from the West Indies tol sue for divorce, charging adultery. ‘The first Mrs. Garvey, who is now 28, States that she met ‘Mr. Garvey in Jamaiea, B.

In 1922 Mr. Garvey claims he secured ‘a divoree from his first wife,, who ‘was then in England, and married ‘the present Mra. Garvey, who is also 28 years old this month. Now Mrs. Garvey is back from abroad and is suing for divorce, say- ing that she wants to get married again and she wants her freedom before Garvey goes to Leavenworth for a five years’ ‘vacation. She claims Garvey could not have gotten a divorde as she knew nothing of the | procecdings. Jealousy Underlying - Cause of W. Va. Tragedy FAIRMONT, W.

S. Cobb JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Dec. 24. —In the third .biernial report to be: submitted to the General Assembly when it meets in January, the Negro Industrial Commission, through Sec retary Robert. S.-Cobb, devotes a chapter on the Negro in Southeast Missouri, which is both interesting and instructive. The report says in part: “«With a large increaie in cotton acreage in Southeast Missouri there has been a correspondingly latge in- crease in Negro popilstion in the past two years, By the coming of thousands of” Negroes from the Southern States to till the cotton fields of Southeast’ Missouri there has came Spout now conditions that must/be metand which should ‘be met in a way best-for all concernéd. ‘long the highways of tho district may be seen hundreds of new houses built for the colored families who have moved into the country and these houses are, as 2 rule much,bet- ter than those furnished in the more Southern states for colored tenant farmers and cotton fie d hands, “Many schools for coldred children have been established in the district and the best available ‘teachers are being secured. During last summer ‘a training school for colored teach- ers was conducted at Cape Girar- dean to furnish more efficient teach- ‘ers for the schools of Southeast Mis. souri, Thousands of Negroes have left the Southern States to seek work in the industrial centers of the North, and this experience has not been a happy one to many of them. ‘The change from their lives and la- bors on Southern planta g ns to the work of shops has been a change that came too sudden, without suf- ficient preparation ‘for meeting strange conditions and environ: ments, The loss of jobs in some of the industrial centers has"been hard to bear by people who have been ae customed to the friendship of their white employers who helped them through periods of crop failures and business depression. But the move to Southeast Missouri has not been such @ radical change and the tilling of cotton in the new country has been the carrying on of labor they have known all their lives; better dwellings and better schools have bean given to them, as their lot seems to offer more encouragement for fature happiness and prosper ity?” ‘Negroes Must Work Out Own Salvation “The Negro farm hand, or tenant, in Southeast Missouri must, deter- mine to make good in carrying out his part of the obligations of’ life if his residence is to remain perma- nent and his prosperity to continue.

Society has prepared her most lavish costumes, decided upon her most precious jewels, engaged her most charming manner, that she may appear regal and resplendent mid the luxurious ensemble of the princesses and appointments of the fashionable event. "The whole town's singing"—certainly so—for the bride-to-be is a talented daughter of one if our old Pittsburgh families, and the groom, a sion of North Carolina pristocracy. Things are all flutter at the Writt home in Denniston Avenue. Bells are ringing; the telephone at the doorbell! All doing their bit to make these last few days before the knot is tied memorably exciting. "Come in," the charming Sara greeted us. We apologized, in true reporter's style. Then we talked to the trousseau. Yards and yards of talk, such as feminine tongues alone are capable. We pledced for a "peep" at the lovely wardrobe, the dream of every bride-to-be. Relicent, of course. But finally— "If you promise not to tell?" "No, No! We wouldn't dare." In our most reassuring air. Broken promises— How can we keep the silk-satin secrets of Miss Writt's trousseau! The lingerie—docens of soft silk crepes, figured satins, colwebby georgettes in white, peach, maize, flesh, turquoise and orchid, trimmed in baby Irish or filet or bits of hand embroidery and rich satin ribbons in pastel shades. Among her negliges we were particularly attracted by a dainty creation of black georgette over King's blue satin, with black marabou falling gracefully from the wide, loose sleeves. The fastening was effected at the side by a large, gold rose. Black satin mules and King's blue hose complete this handsome boudin costume. Surely breakfast will be like sunshine and roses with one gowned in flame voile, embroidered in Chinese blue, with black lace edging the sleeves and neckline, and the same brilliant hued blue ribbon holding in place the slight fullness at the waistline. Or peach crepe, fashioned long and straight with black hand-embroidery outlining the neck, sleeves and hemlines. A pink crepe coat, elaborately trimmed in lace is quite charming; it is short, breakfast-in-bed style. Miss Writl's hose and shoes show excellent taste. Among the choice collection are an exquisite pair of gold cloth slippers; smart black satin pumps with large rhinstone buckles; a spiffy pair of brown kid slippers and patent pumps with the narrowest of French heels. Her hose run the gamut of color and texture. Thinnest chiffon, heavy and lightweight silks, wool and silk mixture, and all wool! Hose for every occasion and all kinds of weather. Her gowns are beautifully designed creations admirably suited to Miss Writl's petite slenderness. A black plaited gown, a handsome poudre bleu crepe trimmed in gray squirrel; a plaid silk fashioned very simply with brown fur edging panels. A heavy black figure crepe is edged at the bottom with a wide band of white fur. A blonde crepe is very smart; it fastens at the right hip with a large, jeweled buckle. A flesh crepe satin is trimmed in seal. A lovely green georgette is exquisitely trimmed in ostrich of the same shade. A black lace frock over yellow is quite ecotie and a blue silver brocade made boutant is quint and pretty. There are morning frocks, smart street dresses and gorgeous evening gowns. Among her hats is a Tappe model in black velvet, with trimmings of French flowers. Her wraps include a black broadcloth coat trimmed in carcuncle, a seal jaquette and a luxurious coat of ring tail-fur trimmed in red fox. There are handkerchiefs—creations, la'la! And gloves, softest kid in tan, white, brown and yellow. It is a story—certainly no queen would desire a more lovely outlay. And here we will keep our promise—until after the nuptial, we will not divulge the details of the bridal array. But, we are bubbling over with anxiety. Miss Writt has chosen for her attendants Mrs. Edward Johnson of New York, matron of honor; Mrs. Robert L. Vann, matron Amour; Miss Ethel Scot of Myersdale, maid of honor; the little Misses Louis Stanton, Jayne and Adelaide Lewis, Jeane Fowler and Helen Ruth Wood, junior bridemaids. Mrs. Johnson arrived Saturday night. She and Mr. Johnson are house guests of Mrs. and Mrs. Eugene Lewis. Miss Scott will arrive Christmas Day. She will be the guest of Mrs. Robert L. Vann. The ceremony, which takes place at the Church of the Holy Cross Saturday at half after eight, will be followed by a reception at the Writi Gardens, Susquchana street. "Howdy!" If it were possible I would call you individually today and say, "Howdy"—you'd enjoy it more than all the fine words and phrases I might coin. "Howdy"—it's a bit old-fashioned but I like it. It rings true and sound,—not tinkly like fragile tinseled bells which decorate your Christmas tree. Its plain, like it appears—no foibles,—no sham. "Howdy"—remember it this Christmastide and every day through the year. Somehow, I feel you understand our purpose, appreciate our efforts, enjoy our relationship, and as you are reading this you are sending back to me a warm and cordial— SOCIETY Utilitarian Club's Xmas Dance The Utilitarian Club will give their annual Xmas Dance at Labor Lyceum, Miller street, on Friday evening, December 26.

Austin gave a most delightful entertainment on last Monday evening in the Ebenezer church, assisted by efficient young talent of the church. The title of the drama was "Student's Christmas. Night." It was enjoyed by all. The play was a musical drama. Mrs. Austin in the surent sense of the word has been active pastor of Ebenezer during a month's absence of the pastor and assistant pastor. She has looked after, arranged for funerals and kept the program of the church in general inspired along with her. She also kept the pastor posted as the pastor of the officers posted as to the desires of the pastor. Mrs. Austin is regarded in Ebenezer and in the Baptist ranks as the God-ordained preacher's wife. Whatever she assigns her hands to prospers. Jordan-Small-Nuptials Mrs. E. C. Harris, of Bedford avenue, announces the approaching marriage of her sister, Miss Mabel Jordan, to Prince A. Small, formerly of Baltimore, Md., and now of Pittsburgh. The marriage will take place Christmas Day in the home of the bride's sister at 8:30 p. m. Mrs Alma Harris will be her only attendant. Herman Grooms will serve as best man to Mr. Small. Mr. Small is an usher at the Fashionable Ebenezer church, and Miss Jordan is a member of the choir. The Rev. J. C. Austin will officiate. A reception will follow the ceremony for the intimate friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Small will be at home after January 1st, at 2203 Wylie avenue. Chicken Supper On Monday evening Mrs. Georgi Mimms, of 710 Morgan street, gave a chicken supper for the benefit of the New Ebenezer church. Despite the cold weather the attendance was good.

The distance from New York, Baltimore, or Washington [to Chicago, Cleveland, or Columbus] is nearly a thousand miles; quar a jump for the shows that carry a heavy cast. The railway fare for a twenty person show would run high up in the three figures. But with Pittsburgh just about mid-way between these eastern and western clitag allows the show to work a week at least before making another shot, thus cutting expenses about in half. In view of this situation the writer thinks it behooves the patrons of our playhouses to properly patronize the good road, attractions when they come to this town. Although we have no house owner by any members of the community, some that allow us the privilege, if it can be called such, to attend the shows that come to the local houses. The houses, down-town segregate us. Only the smaller upstown houses welcome us and allow us to suit our taste in regards to seats. When the shows are on the town it is for our pleasure, and we must act accordingly if we expect the manager to continue to run first-class; attractions. Some might say that is his business and first-class shows bring first-class prices but small houses can make just as much from the cheap prices as that is a certain group of patrons that attend regardless of the quality of the program. Musical comedies seem to be the real attraction with the masses today. Even in the large houses downtown, a comedy always has a better box-office receipt than a good drama.

It is a notable fact that none of these offenders came back for a second dose of Pennsylvania law. In this State, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Conlade, McKeason, Hanlon, Alton, Forge, Harrisburg, Sharon, and Allentown furnished the law breakers. All licenses expire on December 31st of this year and renewals began on December 1st, when new 1928 cards were issued. The State has been divided into three districts: the charge of Commissioner Havey J. Boyle of Pittsburgh, the Middle and Eastern zones come under the immediate jurisdiction of the Philadelphia office. The State safeguards the State each shoot gives under the direct supervision of an inspector clerk. He is clothed with auth讳 to check up box-office receipts and see that the law is not violated and all participants are licensed. He is the legal representative of the Commission judge, judge and his reports form a haria for the actions of the Commission. There is a great revival of interest in boxing and wrestling throughout the country, attested to by the fact that 41 clubs have lined the sport. The law protects the public—that is proven by statistics as there was only one fake contest in 1972. Two boxers outside the State year after the offenders. A keen, smart referee nipped it in the bud and the State Treasurer received three-fourths of the money to allow allowed sufficient money to get out of Pennsylvania. GREENWOOD, MISS. Dr. M. A.

She was born in Virginia, but at an early age was sold as a slave into Georgia.

One of these four would be 100 years old still liv- Mary, who is the only known child living, is deformed and cannot aid in the support of her aged mother. Prior to their coming to Michigan the mother with a nephew, who attracted as many others were by the better living conditions and higher wage scale of the North, came to Detroit during the summer, later sending for the aged couple. At the present time the mother O'Neal is ill, and is lacking the much needed care of a physician. Mr. C. A.

CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 24 — Four men of unusual prominence were initiated this evening as active honorary members of Xi Lambda chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Promptly at 9:30 a. m., the regular initiation program was begun which Negro Binga, B. George, the first Negro even elected a jurist; Senator Adelbert H. Roberts, who is also the first Negro to be elected a Senator in the State of Illinois; Mr. Jesse Binga, the pioneer Negro banker and philanthropist, and Mr. George R.

Following this ceremony an elaborate banquet was held at the Appellattox club, at which Dr. George Cleveland Hall, an exalted honorary member of the organization, acted as toastmaster. Dr. Callis, one of the founders of the fraternity, gave an interesting historical resume of the organization, after which in his usual interesting way Senator Roberts made an address on the principles of fraternities and what this one meant to him. What altruism means and the opportunities for greater service to mankind was voiced by Mr. Arthur. This film, which was made by Judge George, which was powerful and filled with optimism for the future. Over thirty-five men attended these ceremonies. Wild cabbage still survives as a weed on chalky soils in the sea in Britain, Denmark and other countries near the North Sea. Happenings At The Local Playhouses At the Elmore A rush of speed, a whirligig of action, seal-brown dancing amphys, latest song hits songs in the piercing voles of nature-born arctias, a tail for avid and aging eyes, an ingenuus with flashing black eyes, sparkling teeth and twin-kling toes, these are the big features of *Enobow*. "Get Happy" company, playing in the "Last Mistake" at the Elmore theatre this week. And while you may not make your last mistake by missing the show, a riot of action from the opening curtain to the grand finale, the production lives up to its advertised name of making one happy for 90 minutes. The show, while without a plot, has very few weaknesses as a musical comedy continuum show. There is a well-trained chorus of six lively girls, two team acts which are a scream, and allied numerous encores from the audience, a he-man dancing demon, two comedians who get off old jokes in a different manner—a dwarf—auid last, but not least, Jack Benny, the $10,000 bulldog. Included in the company of 20 people are Benbow, the one and only; Marjorie Cohen, a light skinned, willowy beauty, with blonde curls and sky-blue eyes; Baby Benbow and Ruth Cohen; a singing and dancing team that is a distinct sensation; the famous Strawhray, brother and sister team; Daisy Randolph, a diminutive dancer, whose twinkling feet keep time to the fastest tempo; Breck and Irving, comedians, both short and both original; Henry Mitchell, a nice looking youth with a lyric voice of surprising quality and sweetness; Henry Coleman, the "dancing fool"; Benton Overstreet, Shorty Edwards, Eva Overstreet, one of the reigning beauties of the stage, who is billed as Miss Cohen's assistant; Sammy Randall and the chorus-composed of Thelma Moyler, Marile King, Tillie Winfield (a true Tillie the Tollor), Virginia Reynolds and Elizabeth Jontes. Some of their song hits are: "Had to He You," "Red Hot Mamma," "Sure As You're Born," "Yes, You" "Shine," "You're Just the Girl for Me," "If You're Leavin" "Tell Me So," "Please Do What I Say," and others. Taken from general angle, the show is destined to go over with a real bang. To see Miss Lucy Straway horn dance and sigg, rolling her tantalizing eyes as she shakes her head, done up in the latest "shingle boy" style, is worth the price of admission alone. Then there are enough other features in a show of features to keep you awake. That's a bet. Take us up and if you're not pleased, your money will be refunded. What! There goes the curtain! Good night! Just a moment, though. Don't fall to see C-lemian dance, hear Mitchell sing, and look upon the Meadamnes Cohen and Overstreet. They're worth the price. LINCOLN—"SHU SHI SHU" The certain rose at the Lincoln Theater Monday night on a show extraordinary. Coming direct from a record run in Petersburg, Virginia, with a complete show of pap and snap, they should play to good houses throughout their engagement. The troupe is complete in all details with their own scenery thereby living the patrons the best effect possible in the two acts and six scenes they are included in the plot. The costumes are beautiful, showing what can be accomplished by our people engaged in the show game. The company is composed of fifteen people, all excellent singers and actors. Johnnie Lee Long, comedian of rare ability and songster carries the comedy. To hear Johnnie Lee Long hilarious, you'll don't start anything with your mouth that your head can't stand" is a real treat. An evening spent with "SHU SHI SHU" and Johnnie Lee Long will be long remembered. The Star—Vaudeville One of the best attractions of the season is appearing at The Star this week. The fast, snappy dancing and clean comedy the lower Wylie house is featuring this week is a treat for the amusement seekers. Julia Davis, one of the best blues singers on the road, is really an attraction. While not so well known in the East, she ranks with the best west of Columbus, Ohio. Rastus and Jones put on a high-class dance act. These principals are big-timers in the trud sense of the word, having appeared and made a real hit in the east. George Effle is the spice of the evening with his comedy. His jokes are original and put over in such manner that the house is kept in an uproar of laughter during his entire performance. Copper and Helen are in good in every PITTSBURGH COUNTRY Perishing Theatre I. One wants to start the New Year's in the best spirits and inure laughter throughout the year, travel to the Perishing Theater sometime during the week of December 19th and witness "Follow Me," the eleventh musical comedy that has raised a call for the C. O. W. Washington, D. C., after playing to record houses the entire engagement, Pittsburgh amusement seekers are offered a real treat. The cast of this show is a real collection of veterans, yet peppy and finished actors. Listed in the cast are Cliff Ross and Eddie Matthews, two of the best comedians in colored theatrical entertainment, along with Ernest Whitman, a clever tenor, Susie Sutleton, Alice Gorgos, Atta Blakes and Yank Bronson, and the "Follow Me" Four is really an attraction worth its weight in gold. This array of talent accompanied with massive equipment and gowns that is beated by none, will feature in the East End play. The music is equally captivated through by this cast album with clever dancing by the chorus will satisfy the most critical patron. The chorus is made up of 35 men and women who know how to entertain in a clean and snappy manner, and unless I miss a guess we are in for a big time performance from the aggregation. There will be a midnight show, New Year's Eve, which should draw a record crowd. At The Elmore—Lafayette Players The New Year's attraction at the Elmore will be Ida Anderson and a star cast including "Babe" Townsnd, famed in the cast for expression; Hilda Thompson, Robert Marks, Theresa Brooks, Harry Wells, Arthur Ray and others. Miss Anderson, who is also manager of the company, promises bringing to Pittsburgh a drama that has been the sensation wherever it has been shown. The Kansas City Call says: "No better entertainers have come to Kansas City than Ida Anderson and company." With such principals as "Baba" Townsnd, Ida Anderson and Hilda Thompson, the scope of the show can be readily appreciated. Miss Anderson is offering the theatergoers a real treat in that they will play "The Unborn," the first three days of the week and "Branded," the remaining days. Both plays were Broadway sensations and. Pittsburghers that like drama played by experienced actors can not afford to miss either attraction. A midnight show on New Year's Eve will be a feature. Roland Hayes To Sing Here On Jan. 2nd. Noted Tenor to Appear At Carnegie Music Hall Scored Big Hit in Europe. Roland Hayes, probably the most talked about tenor in Europe to-day, has returned to America and is undertaking a limited tour, which will include a concert in Carnegie Music Hall on Friday evening, January 2nd 1925. Roland Hayes is the first of his race to take an undisputed place with the most popular singers and the finest musicians of the day. Europe, in the last three seasons, has again and again accorded him the highest praise a singer could have. In London, Paris, Vienna the announcement of a recital is itself sufficient to bring a crowded audience. At the end of January the tenor returns to the old world to meet many engagements in England, France, Central Europe, Italy and Spain. Roland Hayes has attracted great audiences and won unstinted praise and admiration of the critics wherever he has sung. Until Roland Hayes came to them, the European public knew nothing of the wonderful treasury of the negro "spirituals." They learned them from probably the most stirring interpreter of those songs who has ever lived. From him the words have vivid meaning; the characteristic melodies are deeply moving when his richly vivid lyrics are so moving that the host that he sing are "In Dat Bay." "New Born Again," "Dons Made My Vow" and "Swing Low Sweet Charlot" which are embraced in the program to be given here in addition to songs of Handel, Galuppi, Schubert, Wolf and others. Only one concert will be given in Pittsburgh by Mr. Hayes under the local management of Miss May Beege. THE PITTSBURGH COURER Write to Circulation Dept.

Eddie Hunter's "How Come" was one of the best shows of the year and for anyone to attempt a steal of that sort is indeed bad for the theatrical circle. Mr. Hunter is a business man of real ability and if th. reports are true a real fight is in the making. Hunter saw to it that his play was protected and thus it has been copyrighted. If this steal can be proved as the case seems now it will be, a shake-up is on the way. It seems to the writer th. such practice is out of order and should be stopped. A man who has the ability and genius to originate a play and the business technique to finance it on the road and in the metropolis, surely is 'not going to allow anyone to stage the production without his consent and no returns to his pocket-book.

Gibson Entertains dicapped Kiddies And Folks At The Dunbar these little kiddies on Saturday afternoon. And Mr. Gibson little realizes what happiness he gave these children. They shall always remember their kind friend. Miss Mendenhall of Paul Revere School; Mr. C. Whyte, of Durham School, and Sister Catherine, of House of St. Michael's and All Angels, were very co-operative with the Armstrong Association in giving their children to us for the occasion. Misses Myrtle Carden, Alice White, Mary White, De Reath Davis and Mrs. Safronia Washington, of Armstrong Association, and the manor from House of St. Michael's and Angels, Miss Mendenhall, helped in looking after the happy little group. At the close of the snow, amidst laughs and "thank you's," the merry bus loads carried the kiddies to their respective homes. No pen can really scratch a forceful enough picture upon your hearts—it was only to have seen this wonderful group of boys and girls yourself, and then it would be an indelible impression upon your memory. Eve Lynn. On Thursday night, Mr. Gibson entertained the inmates of the Old Folks' Home at the Dunbar theatre. These old folks really enjoyed every minute of the show. "Chocolate Dandies" has pleased a great mass of people during its stay in Philadelphia. Mr. Gibson deserves great credit for his liberal contribution to the Quaker City's amusement.

Gibson John T. Gibson Gives Morgan College $5,000 Theatrical Man Remembers Alma Mater In Maintenance Drive. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 24- John T. Gibson, of this city, saved the $300,000 maintenance drive in the interest of Morgan College when he subscribed the final $5,000 in the closing minutes of the campaign. This money is to establish the John T. Gibson Memorial Fund. The fund will be increased by Mr. Gibson and from it a professorship in business administration will be maintained. Morgan College, in Baltimore, is under the control of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal church, and Dr. Sherman P. Young, staff representative of the Department of Finance, and the Rev. George S. Conant personally conducted the drive which centered about Philadelphia. Thursday night they saw Mr. Gibson in his office in the New Dunbar theater and asked his help. At Gibson's request they phoned Dr. Spencer, president of Morgan, and found out that 55,000 was needed to reach the quota. The theatrical magnate immediately subscribed the balance. Mr. Gibson thus becomes the largest colored benefactor of the school. He is also its most successful alumnus. With his two theatres in this city and his other connections in that field he is the foremost figure in our amusement world. One can well imagine that among those who will receive the LL.D. in Morgan next spring will be her favorite sigh: "John T." Objected To Her Arrest By Negro Officer PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 24.—Charged with reckless operation of her motor, Mrs. Bottina Crozier, white of Herion, was held under $5,000 bail for court. According to the testimony of Detective Robert Fouche, of the Narcotic Squad, he noticed the automobile driven by Mrs. Crozier early Wednesday morning at 13th and Chestnut streets. His attention was attracted when the front wheels crushed a red lantern and narrowly missed a group of P. R. T. workmen who were searing the track. Fouche said that when he had walked over to the car which he had motioned to stop, Mrs. Crozier was in the driver's seat but contributed nothing to the ensuing conversation. The woman, who gave her name as Margaret Moore, said: "Do I have to come all the way from Montana be arreasted by a man of your color?" The discussion was about to assume more numerous proportions when Lieut. Adams, passing the car, recognized Fouche and approached. T him the supposed lady from Montana repeated 'er q' ery. The lieutenant told her she was ill-informed and made the arrest and Fouche drove the party to the police station. After Mrs. Crozier had been held for court the Moore woman was released on bond to keep the peace. Fake Santa Claus Is Given, 3 Months PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 24.—Christopher Egnox, of Enox, who was arrested at Broad and South streets as a take Santa Claus, was sentenced to three months in prison by Magistrate Amos Scott.

Egnox gave the group Claus from a charitable organization for which he had formerly worked. He had $5.75 in small change in his pocket when arrested.

This is more than a mere holiday, it is a religious celebration — it is the birthday of our Saviour. The sweet old story is ever new. Born in a manger, lonely and bare, was a little babe. And he lived and grew into manhood, a kind and loving spirit — a good man-loved by all, who knew Him. He went out among the people — this Jesus of Nazareth and great and marvelous were his good works. Such patience, such service, such love. And if Xmas means anything to us, we live in this wonderful world today it should leave the image of a perfect man upon our hearts. It should create in each and every being a desire to be more like this spirit that is omnipresent, omnipent and omniscient. Imitation in this idea of being more like the perfect spirit would be a glorious Coroner Holds Two After Fatal Blast Coroner Holds Two After Fatal Blast PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 24.—Coroner Patton held two n. n. lesses of a building where a still explosion occurred recently, on the charge of illegally operating a still and causing the death of John Brown, a furnace mar, in the explosion. They are Samuel and David Hyman, both of whom are accused by Mrs. Mattie Finch, of 2311 Master street, of invigilating Brown into the job of operating the宝而 promises of high pay. Her testimony was supported by checks and written evidence. The explosion occurred September 13 in the building at 2802 East Wishart street, leased by the Hyman brothers. Brown died in the Northeastern Hospital after telling Mrs. Finch that the Hymans would take care of her. Rhinelander's Cash Spurned By Young Bride NEW, YORK, Dec. 24 — Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinelander, whose rich and socially prominent husband instituted annulment proceedings, alleging she deceived him about her race, was offered $250,000 to permit the suit to go undefended by her. Two men who described themselves as managers of the vast Rhinelander realty holdings in this city visited Mrs. Rhinelander at the Mount Vernon home of a girl friend a few days after her husband of only five weeks had left her. After vainly attempting to persuade her it would be advisable, because of the social gap between her and the Rhinelanders, to give her husband his freedom, one of the men made this proposal: "Would you be content to agree to the annulment of the marriage, if you were paid $250,000 in cash?" Mrs. Rhinelander's prompt and indignant reply was: "By no means." The self-styled Rhinelander family smokesman cut in with: Losing patience, Mrs. Rhinelander flashed back: "I cannot be bought for $250, 000. Even $1,000,000 would not appeal to me. I do not want money, any amount of money, no matter how much I pay. I want him and his band. I want him and his love. That alone will satisfy me." The speaker at the Sunday forum of the Citizen's Club was Dr. Max Barber, who discussed the subject, "Was John Brown a Traitor?"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 24. (A. N. P.)—When Geo. Reinhart, white, sees another-colored girl on the street he won't be anxious to offer her a ride in his car, because Lizzie Wills, Kater street near Seventeenth, gave him a warning that caused him much embarrassment when he accused the girl of stealing $^2$ from him, only to find it on the floor of his car. With the idea that money would turn the heads, girls, Reinhart was cruising along Columbia avenue near Fifteenth street Wednesday night when along came Lizzie. He offered her a ride for reason of his own and she answered the offer. What hope there was the car could not have. However, the girl hightailed from the car after riding a block and a half. She then boarded a car for down town. Reinhart missed his pocketbook and he immediately followed the trolley in which the girl was riding. After twenty squares the girl alighted from the trolley and Reinhart told a traffic cop, who arrested the girl on Reinhart's statement. The girl denied, having the money, but the white man said she did as he had evidently been very close her. Her friend the pocketbook was on the floor of the car. Reinhart and the cop investigated and found it. Lizzie was released. Abyssinian Ruler's Crown To Go Home LONDON, England, Dec. 25—By A. N. P.)—The crown of the Emperor Theodore of Abyssinia, which after being kept in a glass case at the Victoria and Albert Museum, this city, since 1869, is now to be returned to its former home in Africa. It has had an eventful history. This crown was taken to Britain by Sir Robert, afterwards Lord Napier, of Magdala; after the capture of Magdala and the death of Theodore in the Abyssinian war of 1868. It is a ponderous piece of silver-gilt filigree work, many sizes too large for any ordinary head. It is lavishly decorated with little squares and diamonds of red and blue glass, varied with diminutive paintings. A feature is the strange looking pipe which projects several inches through the center of the dome, apparently for ventilation. The king's intention to present this crown to the Empress Judith was announced when he granted a farewell audience to Prince Tafari, the heir-apparent and regent of Abyssinia, whose recent visit to Britain created much interest. it is interesting to note that the only son of the Emperor Theodore the Great was born in 1879 at the age of 19 and was buried in St. George's Chapel, Windsor.

But the money was given to his associates in the enter-prise and he had taken the rest to disburse among the people who had dealt directly with him. He had more than $4,000 in his possession and had made some payments. He said that after he had given some money to Miss Edith Sills, at 57th and Haverford, he was taken ill and was going for a street car when the two men, one from shadows, pilled guns on him and ordered him to surrender his money. Harris handed over his bag and the bandits disappeared. He then reported the matter to the police.

For some time, relations between Howard University and the C. I. A. A. have been stretched to the breaking point. The strained relations came to a head shortly before the "big game," when Lincoln University, backed by a standing rule of the C. I. A. A. refused to play Howard unless Miller, last year with Va. Union University, was taken out of the lineup. Howard agreed only when Lincoln threatened to cancel the game. Lincoln's contention was backed by Section 3 of the C. I. A. A. rules which reads as follows: — "No student who has been a member of a varsity tea nof an institution in the Association shall become a member of a varsity team in another institution in the Association until one year shall have elapsed since his connection with the former institution. Why Howard Withdrew. The Board of Athletic Control voted unanimously to send the following, telegram to the C. I. A. A. in session at St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, Lawrenceville, Va.: "Howard announces withdrawal from the C. I. A. A. We regret that we are forced to this step by the impossibility of reconciling collegiate and high school standards in the association, and hope that our pleasant relation with the different member institutions may continue." Howard authorities maintain that their position is expressed in the letter of November 28 to the C. I. A. A., which is as follows: "Howard, although having no secondary school, makes no demand that secondary students in other institutions be debarred from their teams. In spite of this amicable attitude of ours, the Association teams, which themselves have no three-year rule, attempt to force it upon us by this last vote that no student—in preparation or college or college member of C. A. A. A. team, the year before, shall play during the next year at Howard. It is and has been our belief that a freshman coming here from anywhere at all should have the right to play until we ourselves adopt a three-year rule." We compromised the matter by agreeing at it was put in at our insistence and unanimously agreed to. Yet when the first case under it comes up, the Kidney.Bladder cUrinary troubles leave you forever.

Answer to Howard From Lawrenceville, Va., on December 13, 1924, the C. I. A. A., through its secretary-treasurer, sent the following letter to Mr. Edward P. Davis, chairman of the Howard University Board of Control: "The C. I. A. A., in meeting assembled, regrets deeply that Howard University has found it necessary to withdraw from our Association. "The Association, after careful deliberation, accepts your withdrawal. We feel that our stand on the question involved is correct, and that we are sustained by the members of our Association. "The Association feels that it is incumbent upon it to say to Howard that it has but done its duty in attempting to carry on the spirit and letter of our Association, and, in furtherance of that pledge, cannot in justice of our ideal of true sportsmanship arrange athletic contests under conditions which destroy the integrity of the Association. "With good-will toward Howard, the Association trusts she will reconsider her withdrawal out of her desire to serve the best interests of our youth in the educational institutions." Lancaster To Lead Lincoln Next Season Star End to Succeed Crudop —C. I. A. A. Champions Awarded Letters. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Chester County, Pa. Dec. 24—At a recent meeting of the invincible Lion squad, "Tad" Lancaster, "26," was chosen to lead his teammates for the 1925 season. Tad is a native of Bridgeport, Conn., where he was only Negro on his high school football team. He has played a consistent hard game at left end for three years at Lincoln, and is considered by many sport writers as the greatest end in Negro circles with the exception of his teammate, Capt. Crudup, leader of the most successful team Lincoln has ever produced. Tad is one football player who fights for 60 full minutes every game and with which spit instilled in his teammate, the team is no doubt the other successful season is in store for Lincoln for 1925. With the eradication of the one fault that Tad possesses, and which is known by his teammates alone, he will no doubt be a truly great leader of loyal Lincoln men. The worthy Lions who received the coveted "L" were: Capt. Crudup, Lancaster, Grasty, Caloway, Morgan, Henry, Wilson, B. Taylor, W. Taylor, Lee, Goodman, Byrd, Brown, Morris, Webber, Howard, Polk, Scott Lewis, Ward, Anderson and Manager Archie, Hines, the regular for service were specially awarded to Thomas Murray for four years of service as cheerleader and to Kenneth Meade for service as student assistant coach. Canonsburg Has Fast Floor Team Canonsburg has organized a basketball team for the coming season. The team is being coached by G. H. Scott, formerly with the lightweight champs of Elizabeth, Pa. Coach Scott has put the players through several practices, and are showing some wonderful results. The best teams in Pittsburgh and vicinity will be sought for games such as the Y. M. C. A., N. S. Scholastics and the Saratoga club. Teams in this class get in touch with the manager, Gerald Scott, 226 Elm street, Canonsburg, Pa. All games to be played abroad. Edgar Long Chosen As Howard Captain WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 24. At the alumni banquet of the Board of Athletic Control and members of the football team, Edgar Long was elected by the team to captain the pigeonk warriors of Howard during the game. Captain Long was not present at the election, having been called to the bedside of his father, who is reported to be seriously ill. New Howard Mentor S Coach L. L. Watson Of Howard University, who will take over the reins of management formerly held by Coach Morrison. Watson will coach Howard's grid team next season, but whether or not he will train his "11" to and take the scalp of Lincoln, Hampton and others of the C. I. A. A. schools remains to be seen. There is a grave possibility, however, that his team will not meet the association elevens. Decatur Wins From Holy Cross Juniors The Decatur club of the North Side traveled to the Center Avenue Y. M. C. A's gym Friday night and defeated the Holy Cross Jrs. 21-18. Both teams showed good sportsmanship. Of course, Holy Cross Jrs. didn't want to lose to us, for the simple reason of their high record that stands as Holy Cross Jrs. Colored Champs. Their second game game was played in Decatur's floor cord on January. Decatur's cord so far stands with the best in their class, winning five games out of seven. Lineup as follows: Substitutions — Washington for Pamplin, Starkes for Washington. Field goals—Bert, Jones, Turner 6; Holy Cross Jrs., Moore 2, Thompson 3; Townes. Fouls—Decatur, 7 out of 11; Holy Cross Jrs., 4 out of 10. Referee—J. Dorsey. Listen for next game.

It is to establish a farm team for the Eastern League and we hope he goes through with it and that the league will be ready to assist him. Brigely his plan is to accept players from the various clubs and bring them up to major league ability. If a man does not quite make the grade Sol is willing to take him and improve his hitting and fielding and correct his minor defects. The old warrior is not seeking financial support; all he wants is the players. He would use the boys on option and return them whenever requested to do so. It stands to reason that no club can carry all the men who are just a step away from stardom. It would be better to have a string on them than to let them get away entirely. --- OUR IDEA OF NOTHING EXCITING is the repeated raving of a Philly writer that Harry Wills is afraid to meet George Godfrey. He asserts that Harry must first lick the Leiperville Panther before he can hope to get a fight with Dempsey. We boast no small amount of friendship for Baron Jimmy, who is George's guide, but in spite of that we feel that Godfrey is not yet ready for a shot at Mister Wills. OTHING EXCITING IS Willy Wills is afraid to meet lack lick the Leiperville engency. We boast no small George's guide, but in my for a shot at Mister BON, BOSS OF THE POT images.

One thing we like about the Sphinx of the Roadside is that he is not given to idle boasting and that his word on any subject may be accepted as final. Mr. Robinson took a $14,000 jolt last year, but he kept his smile working right along. When pinhead politics forced him out of the position as an Eastern commissioner, he did not sulk, a in Achilles, but was just as desirous for the success of the series as any one concerned. When the works were about to collapse in Chicago he went there and his very presence was an inspiration to the seaboard athletes. What he did out there is some of the unwritten history which we cannot now reveal. George is our idea of a MAN. ALL OF THE BOXING PROMOTERS are trying to "say it with Flowers." FRANCIS XAVIER WARFIELD HAS BEEN relieved of the management of the Santa Clara team in the Island League and Senior Molino restored to his former portfolio. In spite of the galaxy of stars who sport the silks of the Suburbanites, the Hilldale captain could not keep them in the running. We can but idly wonder whether this proves anything or nothing, or what have you? King Tut Lloyd radios us that Bullet Rogan, in his first start for Almendares shut out S.C. with three hits. He also advises that Moore and Duncan of the Caseys will join Santa Clara and Newt Allen is en route for Almendares. The handsome J. Nip Winters has also been drafted by Moline. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY TOOK A BAD BEATING IN. in basketball Friday night when the Atlantic City "Y" ran over them to a score of 23 to 6. The collegians got one double-decker and it was made by Cap Henry. A few years ago we prophesied great things for Massie Woods, but the boy has disappointed us. Once we thought he would be a worthy successor to Norris and the Youngs. Now we know it was but a beautiful dream. LE BARRE POTTS, PRESS ATTACHE and schedule manager of the Panthers, registers a kick against what he characterizes as poor sportsmanship on the part of Roderick Dhu Douglass, shipper of the Renaissance Big Five. Potts says that Bob wrote him about a game at Manhattan Casino on New Year's night and that he answered promptly, accepting the date. Hearing no further from the Man in the iron Hat he phoned him and learned that another team had been booked. Bob claims that Le Barre's letter was not received in view of the friendly relations which have always existed the warriors feel that Douglass might have endowed to get in touch with them before closing with someone else. This contention seems reasonable to us. NOW WATCH THE SCRAMBLE FOR TENNY BLOUNT'S DETROIT stars! Or will the western organization lay claim to them? We could use one or two of them here in the east. THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSION has rounded out a year of authority and the period has seen boxing and wrestling put on a substantial basis.

IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA for someone to give the keeper of the archives of the Eastern League a calculating machine so that the averages of the season of 1924 A. D. could be figured out.

UP IN OUR TOWN they are skating on the creek and river, bob-sledding on the slope streets and hillsides, having sleighing parties with hot chicken and waffles at the end. All of which sounds good to us—when its far away. For we remember the other side of the picture. A medley of frozen water pipes, snow shovels, drifting snow, icy sidewalks, low gas supply, "moderating" weather when the temperature climbed to zero. We may go back for Old Home Week, Bill, but not for Christmas or New Year's, THANKS. MEANWHILE, WHAT OF THAT OTHER "STRANGLER?" Frank Forbes is not mentioned as a member of Renaissance Five this year. We wonder if the veteran will give up the game, of which he has been a part for so many years. As we recall history Frank was not one of the Original Incorporators who followed Bill Madden into the wilderness, but he and Hobey Johnson joined the organization somewhat later in its career. The bright pages of sport contain no more forceful or dominant character than the "Strangler." Frank always played a hard, rough game, but in his crudest moments he was a sportsman. Leaving the floor or field of battle, Frank sloughed off his fighting face and became the suave, educated man we all know and admire. A LATE PICKER OF ALL STAR TEAMS insists that we give his bunch publicity. Frank Thompson is his name and Trenton is his habitat. Here tis' Catchers, Rojo and Gatewood; pitches, Dave Brown and Oscar; Allen, first base; Lloyd, second base; Chacon, short; Marcelle, third; Beck-with, Charleston and Oms, outfield; Mackey and Thomas, utility men. He points out that Mackey can catch and play the infield and that Clint is as good a second baseman as he is outfielder. Mr. Thompson adds that Beck is too good a player to be left off anybody's team. He is also of the opinion that Cubans are wonderful ball players and do not get the credit they should. We cheerfully agree with him about a lot of life islanders and know that he did not pass up any bets when he selected Rojo, Chacon, Oms and Oscar for an all-star outfit. To Meet "The Tiger" Homer Robertson Former Pittsburgh fighter and amateur champion, who is slated to meet Tiger Flowers, the Atlanta deacon, in Knoxville, Tenn., some time during January. Dr. Alexander Is Elected To Head C.I.A.A. A. & T. College of North Carolina Admitted to Body By Unanimous Vote LAWRENCEVILLE, VA., Dec. 24.—(A. N. P.)—The Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association was held at St. Paul School, on Friday and Saturday. Every school in the C. I. A. A. except Howard University, was represented at the fourteenth conclave of the most progressive and effective athletic as- ciliation among Negro schools. The sessions were enthusiastic, interesting and profitable. Everything that would be taught of the inner and soft workings of the school was discussed with the hope of reaching that ideal in athletics towards which the C. I. A. A. is striving. There was rot a single violation, complaint, or criticism passed over, but everything was thorough, aired and amicable adjustments obtained. Matters of great : immediate importance were brought to the attention of the organization, and each proposition, suggestion, and report was given careful and proper consideration. The body judiciously and expeditiously handled the many problems which appeared on the 1924 calendar, and used wisdom and discretion in its action. The decisions reached and the rules made will be far nothing. The splendid results attained, and the proved determination of the member schools to uphold the integrity of the C. I. A. A., will have a direct and particip- er bearing on athletics and physical education in the association schools and on athletics and physical education generally. Dr. W. G. Alexander, graduate manager of athletics of Lincoln University, was elected president of the C. I. A. A. f. 1925. Dr. Alexander is a man of national reputation, broad vision, varied experience, magnanimous achievements, and demonstrated ability. His election to the highest office in the gift of Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association bids fair to continued prosecution and prominent athletic association. The A. & T. College of Greensboro, N. C., was unanimously admitted to membership in the C. I. A. A., and this college is known as a pioneer in Negro education in North Carolina. Her fac'it'es. resources, and unquestioned ability to compete successfully with schools in the association justify the decision of the C. I. A. A.

The team advanced to undisputed possession of first place last Wednesday evening at the Ed-ar Thomson Community House in East Pittsburgh. Rivalry between the two teams was intense and manifested itself in the rough, hard playing of the contestants. For Edgar Thomson, the playing of Yokkers was an outstanding feat. Included in the lineup of the Homestead team were Frankie Johnson, Zeke Dial, Lukey Williams and Brue Jackson. In the preliminary game, Duquesne scored a 16-9 triumph over the City Mills quintet.

The Golden State executive claims that the game has no good points either from the amateur or professional afyle. Poor fellow; and to think he formally published a weekly newspaper. Perhaps that accounts for his Prof, Angell o£ the University of Michigan, who is out with a tirade against college athletics, will find out that he has taken in a lot of terri- (ory in teving to diseredit sports. David Starr Jordan of Sanford University undertook a similer job back in 1905 when he wrote a series of articles, which were published in Collier's Weekly, under the caption: “Buying Football Victories.” Such periodical attacks upon athletics in the sclicols and colleges are apparently necessary for the fullest development of the games. Track and Field, Baseball, Football, Basketball and Rowing and es- pecially the first three sports have taken such a position in college life that the schools that arzue against the sports are the schools that are headed backward. A lot of the fossil hack faculties of our colored collages will take heart from the position of Prof. Angell and renew their efforts against their schools taking: a more promixent place in affairs of the athletic world. ——.——_ ‘The signal success of Tiger Flowers, aside from his own ability to bing “em and bif ‘em, can be ascribed to the hustling qualities of his dynamic manager, Wall Miller. In contrast to what Milfer has heen able to get for his man, is the apathetic and sleepy tactics of Harry Wills and his low xeared manager, Paddy Mullins.

J., Dec. 24 — One of the main topics of much discussion in the city during the past week has been confined to the Pilgrim Baptist church and its membership, and its pastor. Despite the feeling of some of the citizenry of the city towards the pastor, a spirit of fair play dominates and his bitte est. enemies have been forced to acknowledge that he is a peerless leader and accepts no defeat. The feat of pulling away from a strong religious organization, such as Bethany Baptist church in this church that rivals the one he just left in every way, is a very remarkable feat and especially in the face of all of the obstacles that confronted him and all of the opposition that was placed in his way. He succeeded in raising over $12,000, and today he has one of the finest church edifices to worship in that any congregation of our group can boast of in the state. Th. man is Edgar E. Ricks, the man that made Bethany Baptist church famous throughout the world in five years. When he came to Bethany they were in debt and had in $8,000 mortgage on the building. It was he who laid the plans that made it possible to burn the mortgage in the fourth year, pastorate, because of his remarkable work. He has farseeing executive vision. He took a trip to Europe. He toured Germany, Holland and Switzerland, and many other of those foreign countries while he was away, thus making the name and fame of Bethany Baptist church noted the work over and to demonstrate that he was worthy of the honors given him.

Our Advertisers Are Live Wires Big Opportunity Meeting erty passed from the Presbyterian Church Extension committee of the Presbytery of Newark, to the Pilgrim Baptist church on December 6, and it is now known as the Pilgrim Baptist Temple. The members of the Board of Trustees of the church are Allen L. Bland, president; Jas. W. T. Times, treasurer; W. Collins, secretary; R. H. Wheeler, financial secretary; James Foster, John T. Chesire and Charles U. Gray. The Pilgrim Baptist church was organized in April, 1916, by the Rev. S. S. Henderson, who conducted services in a private dwelling house on Academy street for the April 1923 funeral of the church. 1923, the founder of the church. Rev. Henderson, died and about that time the trouble that resulted in Dr. Ricks being ousted from the pastime occurred. Several big church meetings were held at Bethany in an effort to oust Dr. Ricks, but the congregation was so evenly divided that the leading officers of the church were a whole lot of his strength—and especially when he had beat them out in court on two occasions. So the Ricks faction called a big meeting at the Essex county. Republican committee's spacious meeting halls. More than five hundred members of Bethany congregation assembled and despite the protest of Dr. Ricks they not want to split the church they have in the Pilgrim Forum and called him as their director. In the meantime, others of the membership got busy and reorganized the Pilgrim Baptist church and called Dr. Ricks as their pastor. The church is having extensive alterations, such as rewiring and the big fine organ has been completely overhauled.

Scarborough, the noted scholar, and educator, author of a Greek textbook that is widely used in the colleges throughout the country, and the former president of Wilberforce University, was honored at public reception, tendered by the colored citizens of New York, at the Public Library, 103 W. 135th street, on Tuesday evening. A large audience of representative citizens were present, and joined in the tribute that was paid to the distinguished educator. Dr. Scarborough was praised as a scholar, as a distinguished citizen and one of the most prominent educators of the country. Prominent educators like Dr. Nicholas 'Murray Butler of Columbia University, and Dr. Henry Churchill King of Oberlin- College, together with Prof. Frank Boss, Prof. Ella Woodyard of Teachers' College, and Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University sent letters praising Dr. Scarborough for his service in the field of scholarship. The reception was arranged by Cleveland G. Allen of the Harlem Home News Staff. In his introductory address he told of the place that Dr. Scarborough has won in America as a scholar. Miss Ernestine Rose made an address on behalf of the library, and said that she was glad to open the doors of the library to such a scholar as Dr. Scarborough. Walter K. Misser said that the citizens, and said that the colored citizens of New York were proud to honor him in a public way, George A. Fleming spoke on behalf of The Association of Trade and Commerce, and said that the association was glad to number Dr. Scarborough among its members. Dr. Gustavus Herderdon, a prominent physician of New York, told of the inspiration he received from Dr. Scarborough when he visited Howard University while he was a student there. Liot. Herbert Julian a young visitor said that men like Dr. Scarborough were honored to honor him. J. Egert Allen pop on behalf of the Johnson C.

Unfortunately, however, I definitely obliged elsewhere at that time and must lose the pleasure of greeting Dr. Scarborough in person and of bearing public testimony to the force of his personality, the soundness of his scholarship, and the excellence of his influence in our land. He is most deserving of the compliment to be paid him on the evening of December 9. With cordial regard and renewed expression of regret at my enforced absence." President King of Oberlin College, of which Dr. Scarborough is a graduate in his letter said: "Oberlin College has regarded itself as, honored the fine academic record of Dr. Scarborough as student and scholar, as teacher and executive." Other who praised the noted educator in letters were Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes, and Mrs. Josephine Frazier. Dr. Scarborough in his response said that he was glad to meet the citizens on New York. In the course of his address he said: "The Negro needs a historian to be able to place the Negro where he belongs. I would like to recommend that he be created a minister of the African nation of our best trained young men, after being educated in the best schools of America and Europe. Our history lies in digging up African lore and finding the missing link. Dr. Scarborough told of his researches into the ancient language, and of his desire to contribute to the scholarship of the world. Dr. Scarborough has long been known for his scholarship, and is a member of some of the most scientific bodies in the world. The societies in which he is a member are the American Philological, the American Dialog, The American Social Science, The Archaeological Institute of America, American Folk Lore, American Political and Social Science and The American Japan Society. Girl Found In Road After Bad Beating ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. — A story by Miss Jessie King, 25, that she had been carried from her home here by two men and rushed to a thicket on a lonely road near the city, where she was flogged, late today led to the arrest of Henry Pilson and L. H. Pinson, brothers, automobile tire dealers. Miss King, who was found in a cementation condition on the road, identified the two men and they were arrested on a charge of "disorderly conduct" and held in $5,000 bond. The girl charged that the two men came to her home this afternoon and with revolvers forced her to accompany them to the spot where she was whipped. L. H. Pinson was said to have admitted he was in the automobile which carried Miss King to the location. He denied any connection with the whipping. The other brother declined to discuss the case. Miss King told officers she could offer no explanation of the affair, but added that she was under suspicion of having disturbed papers in the tire store. Her face was badly swollen and her body bleeding in several places when motorists discovered her. Mother of Algernon B. Jackson Is Dead Mother of Algernon B. Jackson Is Dead WASHINGTON, D.

Find left his chat and stoop "What a wonderful 6 W 6HY there are more black than white people here!" exclaimed Bennet as they were shown to their rooms in the Great Southern Hotel, after their ride from the ship. "Not quite, but almost," answered Dr. Tanssey. "And they seem to be minding their own affairs." "Yes," was the laconic reply. Both men were standing at the window of their hotel watching the panorama passing before them on the street below. There were well dressed colored men passing along the street; well dressed white men and women; some ragamuffins, pedlars, persons in automobiles with Negroes by mules and driven by black men, winding in and out in front of automobiles and street cars. Except for the number of black, brown, yellow and white faces, the scene might easily have been one of any large bustling northern city. As the two men stood looking, suddenly a street car came along to the intersection of the street just as a dump-cart driven by a tall rather aged Negro and drawn by a mule, was crossing. The cart was in the middle of the street before the street car looked for the car to halt to let the tip cart pass. What was their surprise and shock to see the motorman clang his bell and drive the car straight into the tip cart. There was a regrounding crash of breaking, wood, an unearthly scream from the driver—and a thud of mule and man to the ground where the car shoved the mass along for ten or fifteen feet, crunching wood, bones and fizzed in one mass. Bennet turned sick. Dr. Tansey closed his eyes at the sight, then opened them again with "My God!" on his lips. As they looked the motorman dismounted from his vestibule, after backing his car off the mass, went to the scene, looked at the mule, then into the mutilated face of the driver. After discovering that he was nobody known to him he threw the hat carelessly down on the face again, mounted his car, while the conductor with the aid of bystanders, tried to pull the mass off the track. Falling in this way they left the mule in the street, backed the car to a turnout and continued on their way. As they started away, Dr. Tansey and Bennet made for the door. Dr. Tansey turned to the young man, and almost shouted the command: "Stay here." He rushed to the street, muttering, "I never saw anything so deliberate. The brute. The brute." When he reached the spot, he could hear the exclamations: "Too bad. Too bad." He thought they were pitying the driver, till one of the men added: "Yes, that mule worth one hundred and forty dollars." "Mules be damned," excalled Dr. Tansey. "What about the man?" "Him?—Humph. You can get a nigger anywhere. Mules are valuable." Dr. Tansey, his being burning with indignation bent over the pregnant woman to see her wrist-wulver. As he knelt, from the crowd came the words: "Who's he? Who's he. Some stranger. Some nigger-loving stranger?" Dr. Tansey stood erect, his eyes blazing. "You're a lot of brushes." he'exclaimed. "Cold blooded brutes." There were menacing sounds in the crowd, but no action started. Soon the animal ambulance arrived and man and beast were plied into the same vehicle to be hauled away. The foreman of the district cleared and ordered the district clearer and ordered the spot sanded. Dr. Tansey went buck to his room; muttering: "This is humanity. This is civilization. No attempt—not even the semblance of an attempt to arrest the man for cold blooded murder." Dr. Tansey was still laboring under tense exultation when he returned to his room. Bennet was pacing the floor and declaiming at the brutality of what he had seen. "Why did you want me to remain here, Doctor?" Dr. Tansey and don't bother me" Dr. Tansey exclaimed petulantly in his excitement. "But I can take care of myself. I'm no child," Bennet said. "No, but you're a hot-blooded fool youth—I don't want to see you die yet—before you learn a few things." The best thing you can do is to keep quiet. You're in a strange land; among strange people. Hold your head—and your tongue, till you get your bearing. 'Till you're acclimated.' With that he sank into a chair, his attitude the picture of gloom. The spontaneity of his nature, however, refused to allow him to remain in such a state for long. The picture began to fade from his memory. Bennet had returned to the window, and was gazing on the passing show, intently interested in the Babies Love It For all stomach and intestinal troubles and disturbances due to teething, there is nothing better than a safe Infant' and Children's Laxative. Mrs. Winslow's Syrup INCTI ON ce Problem Situetions new faces of the now show unfolding before him. Finally Dr. Thuisse left his chap and stood at his side. "What a wonderful lance if it was only human," he commented. "And this is an historic old city, too. Full of traditions. Full of memories—full of experiences from which could be woven many a romantic story that would thrill. All forgotten—All lost gave to a few of the old families, who hold aloof from the new, the modern, the bizarre and the cruel. "Off there," he continued, pointing to the right across the tops of a mercantile and "other buildings, 'stands St. Michael's Church, proud of its history, its traditions and its associations, valuable and venerated. Off here," indicating another direction, "is St. Phillips, towering 200 feet in the air, its beacon shining at night, a welcome to all while at its foot, for the visitors, lie the remains of such men as Calhoun, Gudaden, Rutledge and Pickens. All men who have made the nuns of Charleston to stand out as the Athens of the South. "And yet, with all its associations, and history of which to be proud, we can witness such a scene as now, where the old Hughenons and Acadians would say if they: could come back and see the intolerance, the bigotry and the hatred of these days! Bonnet, the world's wrong! At least this part of it. The quicker you and I get out of here the better." "I'd like to see more of this town before I go back home. Somehow I like the atmosphere of the place," Bennet offered with a wave of his hand. "Well, I'm going to get out of here and up into the swamps where I can do my work and get away as quickly as possible. I advise you to lose no time in doing the same." "Where and when do you plan to start?" Bennet asked. "Armstrong told me that up near his country, along the Etobic Niver I'd find plenty of material for investigation and I guess I'll start for there as soon as possible." "My nearest post office is Orangeburg. I go out into the country from the ee," said Bennet. "Good, we'll go along together as far as there. Let's see. Orangeburg's on the way to 'columbia.' Dr. Tansey was studying his map intently. 'You turn off at Branchville to the north from the main road leading to Augusta. It will be nice riding through rather picturesque countryside. We'll start in the morning, ob. Bennet.'" "All right. Meantime I'm going to look around this old town for a while." "Better not go far, and let nothing disturb you."

Rather than make a fuss they simply shrug their shoulders and blind their eyes. There are a lot of them even in this old town. The trouble is, they allowed themselves to be half convinced of what the evil-minded and coarser ones ran about and simply shrug their shoulders, draw about themselves the cloak of exclusiveness and let the rest of the world go by. "You'll find that true all over the South. There are men and women, born in the South, bred in the South, who know that the South is wrong, but dislike disagreeable things, dislike trouble, and bother, particularly since they derive some of the benefits of crushing an humblest people down. They fear public opinion. That's the trouble with this; color question the world now. We Americans are a bunch of color cowards; Pure color cowards. And public opinion cowards. However, take your walk, look and learn but say nothing." While Bannet was on his walk, finding many things of interest along the Battery and its immediate vicinity, studying the character of the houses and the persons he passed, Dr. Tansey was busy making arrangements for the trip up country. He stopped at several garages in attempts to negotiate for an automobile for the trip, but failed to get one to suit him till he came to Calhoun street, where there was a pretentious garage displaying a sign, "Autos for Hire." Stepping into the place he enquired, "Where's the manager?" One of the young Negro boys, standing in a group in the doorway pointed to an office within. Then opened the door. Just at the moment a short brown skinned man stepped out. Dr. Tarsey turned to him, "Where's the proprietor? I want to hire a rig." "Yes, sir. What kind of a rig do you want. I'm the proprietor." Even Dr. Tarsey was surpised at the announcement. He knew many black men in business in the South, and thrilling, but hardly expected to see one in charge of such a business and speaking such language. "I want to go to Oranqoburg, in the morning. I've a friend with me, a stranger, and I want him to see some of the country." "All right, Sir. What time? And where shall I call for you?" "Better call at 6 o'clock at the Great Southern Hotel. We want to get a start and avoid the heat." "Yes, Sir—All right, Sir—Who "Yes, Sir—All right, Sir—Who shall I call for?" "Dr. Tansey. We'll be up and waiting for you." "Sir." Bennet had been followed and watched as he left the house for a walk and Dr. Tanssey had been treated. By some ties of neighbourhood born of years of migrating contempt, where each knows the other for miles around the presence of a stranger is signalled from house to house and native to native. Such was the fact upon the arrival of Bennet and Dr. Tanssey. The people of Charleston as in most southern communities guard their traditions, mannerisms, hobbies and oddities religiously. If you are prepared to join in, you are prepared to practice you are welcomed. If you differ with them and differ, positively you are marked and left to complete isolation. There were a dozen or more men grouped about the veranda when Dr. Tansey and Bennet finished, their meal and joined the assembly, talking seats at one side. All turning in their seats, to watch the two men as they walked over to a corner of the veranda and took vacant seats preparatory to viewing the promenade of those on the street a floor below. Dr. Tansey was indulging in his cigar while Bennet was silent, his mind intent on Eida and join home. (To Be Continued Next Week.)

Travel where you will in the South one characteristic of the southern you will always find. He is curious about strangers. They make it a point to always find out, if possible, who every visitor is, where he halls from and what his business is.

Perhaps, for the benefit of persons living in other states, it ought to be stated that no person in Pennsylvania loses his or her license for the first offense. Persons who lose their license have been arrested—persons more than one—warned of the particular offense committed, or they have been fined repeatedly, and notified of their infraction. All this is done in every case before the license is revoked. The list of revocations is interesting, when we note the reasons assigned for the revocation. Some are reckless. Others are guilty of operating while under the influence of intoxicants. Some are speed demons, operating without regard for the lives of others. Still others have offended by refusing to comply with the laws governing the ownership and operation of automobiles. But the most dangerous of all offenders is the reckless driver. We prefer to meet a drunken driver to a reckless one—even if the latter is perfectly sober. Reckless disregard for the rights of others is the leading cause for revocations the country over. These individuals make automobiles dangerous things, and more and more the public is developing a prejudice against automobiles. It is not the automobile, but the reckless tools that operate them that give rise to the spreading prejudice against the motor car. We must put on a campaign against the reckless driver—road-hog and the fool. These offenders must be retired from the list of operators. Pennsylvania has offered the lead, and has set a wholesome example. In time we shall see other states follow the Pennsylvania practice. After it becomes known that only sane men and women, in whatever state, will be allowed to operate automobiles, the people will have less cause to cultivate such a prejudice against the most useful conveyance man has yet invented. Raise Your Own Pay The recent announcement from the National Cash Register Company discloses that almost a quarter of a million dollars will be divided among the employees as their share in estimated profits of the business of the company. This money has been made available because of the high efficiency of the employees, plus the sound management of those responsible for the operation of the business. Mr. Henry Ford has announced that a huge sum of money, running into the millions, will be paid employees of the Ford plants. This money has been accumulated by the employees or made possible because of their high efficiency. In making the announcement Mr. Ford made it very clear that he believes in giving the employees the benefit of their efficiency by permitting them to share the accumulated profits they have earned. This not only encourages the employees, but almost assures the company of the very best product of which the factory is capable. The better the product, with corresponding higher selling value, the larger the profits to be shared by the employees. The net result means a better satisfied public, and a contented army of employees. Nepross have not arrived in Big Business, as yet. We have just attempted larger things within the past few years. Our experience has not ripened, nor have we enough employees to affect the product of the group. The object lessons offered by the National Cash Register Company and the Ford Company ought to serve us richly while we are laboring to bring about bigger business effort within the group. We ought to be able to see very clearly and conclusively that the more capital we engage the larger army of employees we can engage, and the larger the army we employ the larger distribution of earnings will be enjoyed by the group. If might be well for our larger business enterprises to teach our men and women that there is more to employment than a fixed salary or wage. The man or woman who does not earn more than he or she is paid, seldom gets paid more than he or she earns. We have heard this same truth stated in different words. The truth of it remains. Our boys and girls must learn that the "job" is worth a great deal more to them than the salary paid. The improvement of the business means a larger pay and a longer employment. The man who earns most for the business gets the largest raise in salary, and in almost every such case, the employee raises his own salary. The office simply grants the increase. The National Cash Register Company and Mr. Ford are teaching American labor that wages are not raised by strikes, but by efficiency of service reflected in production which stimulates sales, and sales yield the profits. The larger the profits, the larger the wage. Let Howard University Alone The suggestion that Howard University be federalized is too dangerous to be passed without suitable comment. The Pittsburgh Courier does not hold any brief for Howard University. But for the benefits which Negroes derive from Howard under its present management and control are too great to be lost without a fight. The proposed measure to federalize Howard seems too preposterous for comment, yet it is a proud silence that often spells ruin where rugged opposition proves salutary. To take Howard University from under its business man- AND THIS IS MY ANNIVERSARY By Holloway Christmas "Dixie to B'way" Negro Cities THE-DIGEST By Floyd J.

Howard is just beginning to take a hold upon the Negroes of the country." They are just beginning to accept Howard as their own institution. Her sons and daughters of former years are just beginning to return to the old seat of learning with a pride born of their own fitness and success. Howard is our university. It is hoped there is no real significance to be attached to the report that Howard is to be federalized. We need Howard—free Howard—standing high above the intrigues of politics; and her every son and daughter is a living vote against federalization. Ignorance often leads us into bad company; and, once in it, shame keeps us from coming out. Samuel Gompers, the great labor leader, in his last will and testament, cut his young wife off with a mere sandwich. And now we can all take a guess as to why Samuel drove into Mexico. "At the working man's door hunger may stop to look but CHRISTMAS is here again. Be thankful you are living, with bread to eat and clothes to wear. It might have been worse. But be diligent and ambitious—plan for a greater year. Nineteen hundred and twenty-five may be the making of you—if you only try. Put your best effort forward, and you will be rewarded with life to it. Don't forget the Christmas spirit. There are those who are unfortunate. Help them if you can. Make your own family and your own friends happy also. Then somebody will make you happy. FLORENCE MILLS danced nimbly and sang sweetly at the Broadway last Wednesday. The auditorium received her heart without reserve. More than 90 per cent of the audience was white. Such is the meaning of "From Dixie to Broadway." It took years to come up from the cotton fields of the South to be acclaimed as an artist—something above vaudeville and ragtime. THE ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS is writing a series of articles on Negro cities. These are not corrupted by the cities, but are as rich as the cities, with no physical line of demarcation, but easily found by the observing sociologist. In Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York you can easily find "colored town." These cities are growing, not necessarily in size, but in character and community, and they are likely to be the ability to the town as a whole. May they grow and grow.

N PLACE of a confused chaos of notions as to the best method of starting, managing and financing business, of keeping accounts, of buying and selling, we now have definite, well-established principals. This is what we mean by organized business knowledge. "Organized business is, in fact, a systematic summary of the lessons that experience has taught to thousands of able men. "A 22-caliber man may become a first class clerk or mechanic, but never a business executive, and a study of executive problems would do him little good. The 44-caliber man, even without wide and organized knowledge, is a force, with such knowledge at his disposal, becomes a well-directed and almost irresistible power.

Captain Scott served in the army during the World War, and is said to have made considerable money in the purporting business in the South. His sister is prominent in Boston society and was one of the founders of the Society of Women in Education. Judge Talley gave the youth a sentence which may run for as long as three years, after many prominent New York men had written him asking that he bear in mind Scott's youth and the prominent position of his father in Alabama in considering the case. This young man might have gotten his start in this direction in Alabama by preying on helpless colored men. He might have heard others near him boast of their accomplishment on a girl yet have that what is a crime against one girl is a crime against any. THE MOUTHPIECE, "official organ of the Harlem Economic Association," has an interesting Christmas number. When studied thoughtfully it makes New Yorkors sad. It makes them realize how far they are behind in Chicago with two banks, several insurance companies and scores of other racial enterprises, while New York has not a single Negro bank and few other legitimate businesses to make one proud. There is quite a contrast between East and West. GEN. CALLES, the new president of Mexico, says he would like to give Mexicans training similar to that received by Negroes at Tuskegee and Hampton: The Mexicans need it. The great mass of their people are not much further in civilized life than the Southern backwoods Negro. He said the genius of Booker Washington and General Armstrong are the genius of General Calle's remark. Those men discovered the kind of training any backward people needs in this day and time. After the rules are laid down any man can follow them. The next thing to do is this: Take it for granted that you are infected with the tubercle bacillus (the germs that cause tuberculosis). Do not let this idea frighten you unlucky, for the germs everyone gets the germ before he is fifteen years old. It is a dream of the scientists it. some day, when everyone is careful not to spread infection, we will have. no more TB, or have it so rarely that it will be a sort of medical curiosity, but it is safer to take it for granted that you have been infected. Having taken it for granted that you harbor the germs of tuberculosis, go quickly and thoroughly about the bulb-ing up of a splendid “resistance” to it. Those who have followed these articles know that “resistance” means a power to kill off, or wall off, any germs that get into your mouth or through a cut finger, etc. It means healthy blood, sound muscles and normally functioning organs. The way to acquire good resistance is somewhat as follows: 1. Get sufficient rest. Do not work all day and play all night. Sleep. 2. Eat a generous amount of a variety of foods. Don't chant your vegetables and fruits and milk. 3. Sleep well as well as winter as well as summer. Remember that cold air is not necessarily "fresh air" and the lungs must pass along fresh air to the blood, if the blood is to be healthy and able to I'll the gums you acquire in the day. 4. Exercise. Give yourself the stimulation you need. If you have been subjected to infection by a member of your family, he doubly careful to follow all these rules and be particular to avoid overworking. Have a physical examination every year. Play safe! It is easier not to get TB than to get over it!

I have read with much interest the speeches of the president up this great moral nautilp to practice more economy. This advice is timely and the president himself has set a good example. If someone will agree to pay my way to Chicago I shall also be willing to ride Pullman car. There is nothing up-staggy about me. Now that state being laid on economy, it seems to me that we should put an end to sources of great national economic waste. I refer to homicide. If we about this with our usual American vigor and resourcefulness we can help but succeed. How can we fail? We have turned hay into breakfast food; we have made expensive shoes out of our waste paper; we have transformed a thousand washerwomen into blues singers; we have learned how to boil up all our old rags and potato skins for drinking purposes; we have turned our old ashcans into automobiles, and we have done so with the saloon and rejuvenated the delicatessen and drug stores. Nation we have never failed to do what we set out to do, even to make the world safe for democracy—though the latter hasn't yet put the appearance. Now I contend that in view of the record the American people have made it should be easy to cut down some of the waste ingestion to homicide. I am not Utopian enough to believe that we can do away withicide. As long as people make a loud noise when they eat soup, realize the captions in the movie shows and persist in eating soup with all there is no way to prevent homicide. As long as husbands come in night and complain oef a supper on which their wives have worked better part of the afternoon, we must expect a murder now and what I propose is the introduction of more method and regulation homicide. In short, more efficiency. All this will make for economy a lower taxes. My first reform would be the discharging of all of the state execuers. As no one gets sentenced to death anymore—except Negro foreigners who can't prove that they are insane—there is no use in tax the public for the uplease of idle executioners. Some of these fellows have executed anyone in so long that they have had to join the police force whenever. Whenever it is necessary to hang or elect an occasional Negro or foreigner in order to maintain our Nordic traditions, we can save the salaries of an executioner by raising these lows over to the Ku Klux Klan, which is organized for juju purposes. Another great economic waste is incurred in the discovery of lying down of murderers. There should certainly be more efficiency. Since the popularity of homicide has become so great in the land of free, people are exercising less and less finese in shuffling their nights and relatives off this mortal soil. A husband will shave his wife's furnace or a wife will leam the business edge of an ax against the house of spouse and let anyone in on the secret, despite the fact that they are nineteen-chairmen in shuffling their nights or go to the chair for it. This causes the police to spend a lot of money. My reform would alter all this and save a lot of money. I propose the establishment of a national Bureau of Homeless, provided over by some retired soldier. This bureau would disseminate information on the subject in order to develop finesse in murder and discourse—it being no longer necessary. Proper methods would be taken, and the police would be trained to help those wholesale homicide is already taken care of in the murder training courses. There would be courses in Applied Mural, Theory Murder and the Philosophy of Murder. At the end of the term diploma could be given certifying "that Cornelius J. Sapp has completed their course in homicide with the degree of M.M. (Master of Murder)." In addition, there would be courses in the theater and speak on the subject, just as they did for the scale enterprise in 1917-18. K. M. C.A's and night schools would have classes. After a period of intensive education the American police would soon become more proficient in this popular North American sport and a great saving would result. We would save in this way. Whereas, there is now great muzziness and harges fees to coerce in cities of detectives, there is now great muzziness and harges fees to coerce in cities of detectives, there would now be negativeness, dispatches and publicity. A wife wanted to get rid of her husband she would mercy write a letter to the local chief of police as follows: "My husband, Henry Dubb, having become addicted to the cross-word puzzle mania, he continually amuses me after supper by asking 'What is a three-letter word for a knight of Pythias?' or 'Give me a four-letter word for a member of the I. N. I. A. A.' Having taken my degree of MM. at the Moran University and the police department of I. N. I. A. A., misgiven to put him out of his mity," the chief of police would then issue the necessary permission, notify the nearest under-taker and send an officer to supervise the proceedings in accordance with the law. It will be obvious to even a Holy Dear that much time and money would be saved by this murder. Newspapers would get all the details before the forms closed for the morning or afternoon editions. Of course, the officers would be necessary. Larger fees would be saved. And offer the woman was acquitted business would proceed as usual." Or, from a worried husband: "Dear Sir: "I have been married for fifteen years. On top of this misfortune, my mother-in-law persists in wishing as three times a day she has a mania for advising my wife how to run the house, trails the children and handle me. Hence I request permission to administer the proper amount of arsenic in accordance with the national laws. Enclosed find my credentials as a MLA, specializing in chemistry. "Very truly yours." "ANDREW GUMP." The chief would then follow the procedure mentioned above and oral thousand dollars would be saved to the community. Various chants and manufacturers could profit through this rational light by using some of the following street car advertisements: "Use Bolt Automatics—They Satisfy." "Allen's Arsenic—Recommended by 43,176 satisfied widows." "The Next Time Your Roommate Snores—Remember U-To- Cutlery." "Are You Kent Awake by the Player Piano Upstairs? Why Was a Stick of Dobond's Dynamite—and sleep in peace?" Even the popular song writers could profit by publishing some ballad like this: With these reforms in vogue it would be a simple matter to ask what had happened to the collector of an installment house who had for the third time on a family where the husband had been out of for three weeks. In this event the store manager would merely call up the chief of police and get a list of the day's homicides. No one could possibly be easier or more conducive to the economy. I would suggest one amendment to such legislation: that an ex- be made in the case of a columnist whose monotonous column was noying several thousand readers. Self preservation is the first la- ture.
