RICHMOND BOY GETS SOCIAL STUDY COURSE IN NEW YORK New York City, Sept. 6.—All of New York City with its acute social problems of the congested slums to the bright sides of life along the Great White Way and Coney Island has been laboratory, textbook and schoolroom this summer to Robert P. Daniel, a student at Virginia Union University. He has just completed a seven weeks' study as a member of the College summer service group, a body of American University men who are chosen annually by the Intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. of this city to gain a first-hand knowledge of pressing local problems. Twenty-eight men from all sections of the nation, selected for qualities of leadership, composed this year's group. Working among the tenement dwellers of the famons East Side, where there live as many as 5,000 people to a single city block, members of the group came in daily contact with the "submerged" peoples through visits to their living quarters for survey data, through recreational work in settlement and church houses and observation trips that took them to Ellis Island and other points of interest on studies of the foreign born problems, to recreational centers and on trips to explore other interesting sections of the metropolis. Twice weekly the group met to hear noted social workers and test their findings. Mr. Daniel engaged in actual social work in carrying out his study at the West 135th Street Colored Men's Branch of the Y. M. C. A. in New York City. Virginia Union University will be given an opportunity of sending another student here for such a study next summer, it was announced by John R. McCurdy, director of the group.

ALPHEUS SCOTT LAID TO REST Mr. Alphneus Scott died at his residence, 1015 St. James street, Friday morning, September 5, 1924, after a protracted illness. He had been in the undertaking business for many years and he and his wife, Madam Lucie E. C. Scott were well known in the profession. The funeral services were held at the Fourth Baptist Church, Sunday, September 7, 1924, at 4 o'clock. Mr. Scott had been a deacon and trustee of the church extending over a period of years. Long before the hour appointed the church was filled to its capacity with hundreds standing on the outside unable to gain admission. As the funeral party entered the church, the choir sang softly and tenderly, "Asleep in Jesus" and "Nearer My God to Thee." "It is not death to die" was also sung. Scripture lesson, 90th Psalm by Rev. R. J. Bass, prayer by Rev. Thomas, Madam Mildred Cross sang with pathos, "Lead Kindly Light." Enlogistic remarks by Rev. Scott C. Burrell. He befittingly referred to the widow, unable to leave her home, who was sustaining her loss with the cheer, hope and courage of a noble Christian woman. Rev. Evans Payne D. D. the eminent pulpit divine and pastor, ably delivered the funeral discourse. His graphic description of the life of the deceased was based on the text taken from James 4:14. "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." Mr. Scott was identified with many fraternal organizations and several beneficial clubs, representatives of which were present to do honor to his memory. He is survived by his widow, one daughter. Mrs. Cleopatra Danik of Buffalo, N. Y.; one son, Robert C. Scott, one of the leading undertakers of this city; one sister, four grandchildren. The remains enclosed in a massive mahogany state casket were interred in a steel vault in Greenwood Came- terey, where beautiful and costly flowers were placed to mark the earthly resting place of a well known and highly respected citizen of this community. He was buried with Masonic honors. Funeral Director H. L. Minor officiated. REV. ROLLINS LEAVES PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. George L. Rolline, B.

(Preston News Service) With eight colored and thirteen white members, the Maryland Inter racial Commission may now embark upon its inquisitorial journey, looking to the discovery of ways and means which may promote the welfare of Maryland's 244,479 Negroes, centered in Baltimore and stretching, principally through Cumberland, Frederick, Hagerstown, Annapolis and Cambridge. Press reports indicate that the consideration of legislation concerning the welfare of the Negroes of Maryland, and legislative recommendation to the Governor and the General Assembly of 1927, are to form the principal duties of the Commission. We venture the hope, however, that the scope of the Commission's functions will extend beyond a legislative span: The Commission's colored personnel is as nearly one hundred percent perfect as any personnel could be. The Law, the Pulpit, the Press, Business, and last but not least, the refining influence of the fairer sex are present, backed by a wealth of experience and knowledge. We venture to presume that Maryland has not produced a more public-spirited and capable person, for this particular work, than Carl J. Murphy, Editor of the Afro-American. The remaining members, too, have had their share of reactions from the ever present "problem." Coming down to brass tacks, however, if this Commission is to be a fact-finding commission—and we hope it is—it has no easy task before it. There are numerous outstanding situations in Maryland which should become the objectives of a light of inquiry, whenever Negro welfare is being considered. For instance, the farm and farm loan situation is one of vital importance to the economic interests of Maryland Negroes. Unemployment, which is slowly increasing in Baltimore, and which is ever a menace to the BROTHER could be deeply delved into. School appropriations and teachers' salaries might well be looked into. Sanitation in Negro communities is another subject, which is of pressing importance. Last, but not least, that old-fashioned religion, which has as its motto, "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men," and which is not only needed in Maryland but all over America, might be invoked to impress all those who persecute men because of their color, that it's all wrong; and to remind them that some time God is going to have His day in Court: With deep respect for the Commission, we wish it success, and we will back this up with prayer. According to a late press dispatch, four million Negroes in America have signed a petition asking for governmental assistance and sympathy in their "desire" to depart for Africa. This number would be nearly one-half of the Negro population of the United States, an unbelievable total—a total, in fact, conclusively indicative of the reckless abandonment of accuracy and patriotic sentiment.

That wealth and not in Africa—nor will evocates of emigration of this to Her ideals, who have the slightest desire to leave Her balli-wicks for a permanent residence in Africa, Asia or any other foreign country. The petition declares, it is reported, that in order to avoid race conflicts in America, the friendly shores of Africa should be sought as a Fatherland for American Negroes. Nothing could be more nonsensical and at the same time in the nature of a tragical thought. And the tragic strain is found in the truth that in the hearts of those who would persecute American Negroes, the "Back-to-Africa" call of the alleged petitioners awakens exulting hopes of an international segregation, and the ultimate appeasement of the lust for complete exorcication of the ten million black folk of the United States. This hope, vain though it is, brings smiles of approval to those who advocate "his place" for the American Negro. And among this "hopeful" class there are those who sincerely believe that nearly "half" of the oppressed sincerely desire to give up the fight here and return "there." Chaos would result both here and there, were such a plan carried out Obviously of course, it can never be. The national wealth and progress of American Negroes, attained during these sixty-one years, are rapidly approaching those of other people. That wealth and progress are right here in America—not in Africa—nor will ever be transferred by brainless advocates of emigration of this type.

To the white brother, roadbuilding and construction work usually absorb a goodly portion of miners; but the BROTHER is a miner, and is not easily transferred to other temporary occupations. As a rule, when idle, he is confined to the mining community in which he resides, where he must await the return of the demand for his services. Here is a problem which faces community workers and which, too, stares the overhead employment situation squarely in the face. Diversified employment for our people is full of difficulties. A colored worker is usually regarded as being able to do only ONE job. It doesn't readily occur to employment managers that the colored laborer's work abilities are as elastic as his white work-brother, and that at times when his trade is idle he could be transplanted to other profitable employment. A long "lay off" is thus disastrous to the BROTHER, who can only peek through the keyhole at his "versatile" fellow craftsman. It strikes us that this is one of the tasks which sponsors of Negro labor must boldly face in the further emancipation of Negro labor, and it ought not to take a life time to make substantial progress along this line. The Union ought to take a hand, along with welfare organizations and individuals, and make employment managers the country over join hands in employment training and placements.

"Brown Panther" Floored Firpo for Count of Four--"Wild Bull" Hanging on at End ```markdown ``` WILLS 'Wild B Dow "Brown Pa of Four-- JERSEY CITY, N. J., Sept. 11.—Harry Wills battered his way to a smashing one-sided victory tonight over Luis Angel Firpo in a gruelling twelve round battle before a throng estimated at 75,000 in Boyle's Thirty Acres. Dominating the fighting from start to finish with an exhibition of ring craft that completely spiked Firpo's heaviest gun, his famous right, Wills beat the giant Argentine into decisive defeat with a bruising, relentless attack to the head and body. FIGHTS A LOSING BATTLE. Firpo was knocked down for a count of four in the second round, staggered in several others by lightning-like thrusts to his jaw and subjected to a succession of savage, weakening drives to the body. Shorn of his chief and only potent weapon, the Argentine fought a losing battle all the way. His gameness carried him through the terrific punishment his colored rider administered, but he had not the boxing skill, speed or versatility of attack to cope with the craft, resourceful and relentless campaign of his opponent. No official decision was rendered, as none is permitted under New Jersey ring laws, but there was no question of the outcome. Firpo, in the opinion of some critics, barely held his own in one round, the third, while the big majority of newspaper critics gave every round to the Brown Panther. The crowd which filled the big bowl close to capacity had come in expectation of a knockout, with opinion about evenly divided as to which of the two ring giants would score it. But instead they saw Wills the ring master and wily veteran, batter and wrestle his way to a convincing, but unexciting victory. WILLS AT HIS BEST. The Brown Panther was at his best, employing all his strategy to completely battle his opponent, but Firro was not the Wild Bull he had been in his other battles. Shorn of the mighty smash that sent Jack Dempsey flying out of the ring a year ago, the South American's attack was impotent and his defense was too crude to avoid the continual barrage of Wills' blows. Wills employed all the tricks of his trade to stand off Firro's charges. He continually held Firpo with his long left and wrestled the Argentine about while he administered terrific punishment with short night jolts to the head and body. At close range, Firro was bewildered, helpless and at times handled like a child by his dusky rival. Several times during the fight Firpo complained of Wills' tactics. His handlers, too, protested to Referee Danny Sullivan that Wills was unfair, but Sullivan refused to heed them, pointing out that they had reed to fight in the clinches as if as one hand was free. FASTER AND SHIFTIER This agreement, as the fight progressed toward an apparently inevitable end became of increasing advantage to Wills. Faster and shift, he dug rights and left into rpo's body at close quarters, occasionally stung the Argentine with pier-like shots to the head and used red blotches on the South american's left side with powerful overhand punches. Firpo, on the other hand, was too slow, too ungainly in his maneuvering to profit from the ruling that governed their close-range mixing. Firpo's knockdown in the second round, the only one of the fight, came as the fighters were separating from a clinch and aroused an outburst of disapproval from the crowd. Firpo, at the break, unsuspectingly dropped his arms, as he did so Wills whipped over a smashing right to the jaw that sent the Argentine topping over backward. Firpo climbed to one knee as the referee started to count and rushed back to the fray after the count of four. Firpo withstood a shower of blows to the bell rang, and he walked deadly to his corner. That was closest he came to a knockout at stage of the fight. He was stagged in at least three other rounds, third, seventh and ninth, from blows to the head, but he refused to go down refuser us, although he kept up a steady fire, fought cautiously and seldom took chances at long range. Through out the early part of the battle he was wary of Firpo's right, but when he finally became convinced that he had this blocked he became more aggressive. Wills tried hard all times in the closing rounds to score a knockout. Opening up his drive as Firpo weakened and was slowed up under a relentless onslaught. Wills bent Firpo almost double at times with his sweeping right-handers to the body, mixed with swift jabs to the head, but his heaviest bows were not strong enough to bring the Argentine down. Firpo's gameness was his only as set in the last analysis, for he was beaten, outgeneralled, outbowed and outpunched at every turn. The Argentine's remarkable recuperative powers enabled him to weather the storm, but that was all he could do. PAYS $800,000 TO SEE FIGHT Jack Dempsey was in the crowd of notables that witnessed the battle and saw Wills stamp himself as the outstanding contender for a title match the colored fighter has been seeking for three years. A crowd of between 75,000 and 80,000 paid approximately $800,000 to witness the fight, according to Promoter Tex Nukard. LINCOLN AND VIRGINIA UNION CLASH IN NORFOLK OCT. 27. Lincoln and Virginia Union have at last decided to bury their old hatchets and settle their ancient grudge on the gridiron at Norfolk, Va. Monday, October 27. The public has long clamored for a meeting of these two crack squads and the fact that they have been finally induced to come to terms is certainly a credit to the game and has removed the shadow that has been hanging over the athletics of both colleges. Both elevens will have a majority of their old warriors back in harness and all indications are that this game will be the most thrilling of the season and certainly the hardest fought of the season. The Lincolniites are extremely anxious to avenge the 6-0 defeat in the last meeting of the two teams at Richmond and the Old Dominion boys are equally strong in the belief that their colors will continue to remain aloft. Norfolk is an excellent location for this classic as it will give to the great number of football followers of this and other sections further South an opportunity to see two of the "Big Four" in action. Preparations are already under way to make this one of the biggest events of the season and numerous social arrangements are being made for the entertainment of the visiting teams, alumni and friends.

The world has thousands of unsung heroes among the masses. Miss Martha Jean Winters, who died in New York City, Thursday, August 2th was one of them. For ten years she has cooperated with the progressive women of the race in religious work and social uplift. The lacking academic training, she possessed a high degree of intelligence and was full of the spirit of service and civic pride. I met Miss Winters three years ago. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to know something of her social views, religious fervor and race pride. She was one of the most lovable, most gentle and most interesting women that I have ever met. God has created few women with souls as fine as hers. She was a born conversationalist and a good entertainer. I know few women in her class who have the keen social perspective which she had. Though without education herself, she did what she could to assist and encur Our World War General Retires AUTOCASTER Gen. John J.

Miss Winters has lived an active, unselfish Life. She has done well, despite her lack of school training. She was blessed with what many modern women lack—good common sense.

I asked Curtiss Wright laconically, when we had climbed the steep slopes of the sand dunes and had settled ourselves snugly "Whom?" he was sitting beside me while I stretched my full length in the soft sand that sparkled with the hard glitter of diamonds. "Why the lady in the moon, up yonder." "Um—nope, don't believe I ever have," he answered. "Wanna?" I hurried to get to the point and I tried to remember all the preliminaries just as Ted had first shown her to me at the Country Club that evening. "I cannot say that I am overly anxious to go searching for some vague and etheral creature," he responded "moreover, my eyes seem loath to leave the lady in the present landscape. Je suis content, my Romany ma def," he laughingly added. None of the boys in our crowd talked in words of more than one sylphish and it fascinated me to hear his French phrases, which he used so naturally that even a person with a smattering of the language could comprehend their meaning. I thought he's conversation was not unlike the French phrases, clothing as he did, the most plaititudinous compliments in charm and majesty. His vocabulary too was compelling. I pondered his last pretty tribute and turned my head to look at him while he made playhouses and let the sand run through his fingers. He was undeniably handsome and his body graceful, with that indefinable something about it that suggests agility and a splendid fitness to meet any emergency. Reserve strength was there too, and yet, I had an idea that in love, he might be as gentle as a woman. I gazed up at the stars. The beauty of the tropical night seemed to enter my being. No wonder the whole world was beginning to love Florida. Even the moonlight was different and the stars up there were friendly. Big, yellow ones outlined the dipper. Florida stars then the wind in the palms sighing like a restless virgin waiting for life and its completeness. It was like Curtiss Wright and I were off on some desert island, the stretch of the sand-dunes only emphasized our seclusion. Long ago the voices of the swimmers had been lost in the distance. "Well, do you want to see her?" I queried, moved nearer to my companion and putting my face close to his. You see the moon—well there's a lady up there and there's also a man, I'm the lady and you're the man. Their profiles touch, like this and, er, they kiss each other." My face was against his. My eyes closed expectantly and my lips parted. He caught me by the shoulders and his voice was tremulous and his voice was tremulous, "Don't Sallie, for God's sake, child you mustn't play games like that. You don't know what you're doing. Look at me," he ordered, "where do you pick up such things?" "Ted Billings taught me." "Ted Billings, eh, the young devil!" he interrupted "Oh, don't be so proper," I cajoled, this time you really will see her." And I turned my face up to his, but he drew away sharply. "No thanks, I don't believe I care for your COMMUNITY KISSES!" He stood up, his eyes looking toward the white-caps of the ocean as if he were utterly oblivious of my existence. "Oh, Mr. Wright," I called to him "if it isn't against your puritanical principles, I'd like very much for you to go and dig me up a little snifter. "A little drink, Mr. Holier-thanthou person." I was sitting up and I shook my finger at him. "And when you return we'll talk it all over. I'll even listen to your complaint about my morals." "I beg your pardon, I assure you it was not my intention to meddle. What shall it be. I am at your serv- I have told you so often about boys with "no chance" who conquered difficulties and hardships and thereafter rose to fame and fortune that it is only fair now to tell you about a woman who won success. She is Mrs. Josephine Duble,Miller of New Orleans. In 1908, when Mrs. Miller was twenty-one, her young husband died. Death had followed a long illness and in its wake came extreme poverty, large unpaid debts the progeny of, a weak and inexhausted, was to do, and a future almost devoid of prospects. Mr. Miller had been a locksmith. During the same year of her husband's death Mrs. Miller de e's ions the Gentleman. "ce?" "Doesn't matter. Whatever you can manage." He bowed courteously and departed. Once again I lay supine, the soft sand was soothing. With my hands under my head I lost myself in the glories of the moonlight. Surely Nature had made Florida a garden spot for lovers. Lovers. ah—if Curtiss Wright HAD kissed me. A shadow, huge and terrible, fell across the sand in front of me where I was dreaming. It couldn't be Mr. Wright. I thought quickly, the Inn was a half mile off and he had only been gone a few moments. I could stand it no longer. I looked behind and as I moved my head I saw a man coming unsteadily in my direction. I tried to scream and couldn't. In a twinkling I realized that I was at his mercy for the beach had long since been deserted. As I jumped to my feet, he lurched forward and towered over me. (Continued Next Week.) Thrifty Tips for the HOME Mahogany: A very fine polish for mahogany is made by mixing a tablespoon of olive oil with a teaspoonful of v-negar. After dusting well, apply the fluid with a piece of soft flannel. Then polish with a clean, soft duster Cocoa: If a pinch of cloves is added to cocoa when making a cake it will improve the flavor. Hair Brushes: If hair brushes are washed with soda instead of soap, the bristles will remain 'stiff' and white. Soap softens the bristles and does not clean as quickly as soda. Tecaups: If your teacups are badly stained, try washing them in a mixture of salt and vinegar. It will remove all spots. Stockings: The colored silk stockings that are so popular now sometimes look very faded after washing. To avoid fading, use one tablespoon of borax to each two quarts of warm water. Wash quickly and rinse thoroughly in clear water. Do not hang in the sun. Clothes: If clothes are sprinkled with warm water instead of cold, they will be ready to iron in a few moments. Roll them tightly in a damp towel and iron in ten or fifteen minutes. Burns: It is a good idea to keep a solution of alum and water bottled in case of burns, etc. If applied at once, this solution will prevent blistering and also relieve pain quickly. White Stockings: If white silk stockings are washed and dried at night they will not turn yellow as quickly as they will if they are dried in the light.

Maritime locks were her specialty. To get business she canvassed the docks and personally interviewed the masters of ships whose vessels docked at the port of New Orleans. Results of a paying nature were slow and poverty was keen, but she stuck to her chosen work and during the spring of the following year she entered a bid against a number of competitors to completely overhaul and rebuild the locks of a steamship which had put in for repairs.

A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicine. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel. I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated a Kidney disease without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be first operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours, after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. R. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines as No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond Va. I recommend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully, J. D. TAYLOR. 2419 B. Grace St. Richmond, Va.

The World Federation of Excavation Admiration recognizes a world war against humanity. For this war the Crown Prince of Japan has appointed a million yen China has appointed the slogan "China a Liberate Nation in One Generation." It is preposterous that any human beings, outside of actual barbarism, should grow up unable to read. But teaching them to read and write is only the first step. The next is teaching human beings TO THINK, which is considerably more difficult and important. It isn't what you READ that counts. It's what you THINK (AFTER YOU READ that improves government and civilization. It takes a Frenchman, and an old one, Camile Flammarion, to say that the people on Mars are much more JOYFUL than we are. The Martian year is twice as long as ours. A man there fifty years old has lived 100 years, nearly. The climate is better and the planet being smaller, everything is lighter. An ordinary Martian could easily carry his mother-in-law upstairs in his arms, even if she weighed 400 pounds. Millions of years older in their civilization than earth men, the Martians are far ahead of us in knowledge, and that means happiness. In fact it's the only solid happiness. John A. Stewart, called "Grand Old Man of Wall Street," who knew Abraham Lincoln, and is now head of an important bank, celebrated his 102nd birthday last week. To us, that seems old. A thousand years hence, 125 will seem young as sixty is now. Men will die out gently like fading twilight. Mr. Stewart continues living, intellectually young, because he Communism has been the most important force in the world. After a while civilized human beings will dwale that rats and mice don't pay and take the trouble to get rid of them along with mosquitoes, flies and other nuisances that flies well have to cut out of the air. An English sociologist demonstrated that rats suffer from foot and mouth Disease and the queuing stables, infect the cattle. Moral for farmers, use cement and copper and keep out the rats. Clarence Darrow, a lawyer, who thinks and feels, and consequently earns little in proportion to its great ability, tells the Court that to hang the two young men whom he defends, Loeb and Leopold, "would be a worse crime than they committed." And that is the truth, exactly. If a red Indian tortured a white man for twenty-four hours, that would not excuse white men for torturing that red man even for twenty-four minutes. The greater the intelligence and responsibility, the greater the crime. This column, too lightly, compared Moses' forty-year trip across the desert with the four-hour trip of a small American automobile, and the one and one-half-hour trip of a flying machine, across the same desert. Many writers send learned comment. Hyman Bodner, of Passaic, New Jersey, says, "You needn't wait to get information from Moses in heaven. He kept the children of Israel in the desert for forty years because they were not qualified to conquer the Promised Land. They practically all died. The new generation, educated and drilled, led by Huslama, won their Promised Land by fighting." Max Himoff, of Long Island City, writer, said that Moses had to let his old followers die off while he raised a new generation "who knew nothing about Egypt and prepared them for their task." Can anybody give more exact information about the fighting leader, Huslma? Divers working ninety feet below the surface have recovered thirty-five million dollars of gold and silver bullion from the steamship Laurentic, sunk by a German submarine. Thousands of tons of, "liquid gold" are in the water through which steamers plow as they go back and forth. Some day men may retrieve it.

Wels, President American Federation of Negro Students, the movement raising $150,000 for business training.) (Preston News Service.) (Preston News Service). It seems never my privilege to remain in Pittsburgh when something big is going on. The Shriners were decorating and thousands of the high Masons were pouring into the Smoky City as I left for the Windy one. At Chicago I think I was compensated fully for what I missed of the Shriners, Knight Templar and Elks. There were a galaxy of big personalities, and I saw quite everything from Runnin Wild' to Caine's 'Go-den Glow,' the very newest and best kind of mayonnaise. Caine is a Negro and hails from Evanston while everybody is familiar with Miller and Lyle's grand show playing to packed houses 'n the middle west. Beware in dealing with personalities for then you clash with the vanities of men. Thus counseled the wielder of the lash of the Chicago Whip. Good advice. Still, there were at the Silver Jubilee of the National Negro Business League such a host of stars and satellites that I have wondered if it were profitable to write on fifty instead of "How Twenty Prominent Personalities Impressed Me." Indeed there were so many high powered dignitaries of every profession present at the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the founding of the Lecuo that I mused, this is the Sahedrin. I should like to name the bishops, but there were a gang of them. The same may be said of the business men. They were there from the good natured Gillapple of Chicago to the quiet Spaulding from the Old North State. The latter was so unassuming that he was better recognized by his striking head of beautiful gray hair, than from the great noise he made. There was Harry Pace from New York City; and the astute banker, E. C Brown of Philadelphia. Were there any politicians? Truly, such a solid group graced the stage that if one were not informed he might resume that he were attending the little U. S. Senate. Perry Howard. National Committeeman from Mississippi, with hat and cane always managed to be either present at each session or to tip across the stage while the league was in full blast, a conspicuous attempt to avoid notoriety—evidently a deep stroke of politics. Mary. Mrs. Booze National Committeewoman from the same state; and Miss Hallie Quinn Brown. of Wilberforce. O., National Organizer, were there. It would be unfair, in fact unjust not to mention the most controversied appointee of the late President Harding. Hon. Walter L. Cohen, seemingly a very personable man, now Comproller of the Port of New Orleans. Who was that who did not see Roscoe Conklin Simmons, G. O. P. Publicity Director? Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson was also in the saddle. He did iots of riding, but said little. And up until Friday morning, so far as the masses at the league were concerned, one would not have known that the well-liked "Dobble" Nann, who almost simultaneously has become a National Advisor to the management of the Campaign of the Republican Party and of the Negro Youth Movement, was there. There was one elegant maneuver of politics executed at the League meeting which will be related in a later installment. MY PURPOSE AT THE LEAGUE. But what was I doing gt the Sil ver Jubilee? Was it simply to meet these big guns? To see that smoke or hear that thunder roll? It was not. I went there in the interest of the Negro Youth Movement. It was my purpose, and it is yet our purpose to get our business men to place the nest egg into the one hun dred and fifty thousand dollar sum, the Negro Youth Movement is raising for the definite purpose of aiding and stimulating business training for the youth of the face. It was a real job camping upon the paths of some of our business men, while a few of them have furnished me with critical material to write upon for a good long time. I have every reason to imagine that the writer was not the only creature seeking the influence and the friendship of his fellows. (Continued next week.) It Pays to Burn the Best.
