Dr. Emmett J. Scott - Secretary
Treasurer of Howard University,
Washington, D. C. spoke here Friday
evening, January 22nd at 8 o'clock under the awnings of the Meat's Congress, said to be the largest and most active group of its kind in Virginia, at the Leigh St.
Memorial at All Church corner-Fifth and Leigh Streets.
In keeping with its usual custom of bringing to the city men and women of national prominence as a matter of public education, Dr. R. M. Williams, pastor of Leigh Street Memorial M. E. Church, and Mr. Grover C. Grant, President of the Men's Congress, invited Doctor Scott to deliver an address on the subject, "The Contribution of the American Negro to Art, Science and Literature" Dr. Gordon B. Hancock of Virginia Union University, presented the speaker to the capacity audience which greeted him. The musical program was furnished by the Alpha Club, under the direction of Mrs. Bessie Paxton.
Doctor Scott was for many years secretary to the late Booker T. Washington at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in Alabama. During the World War he was a Special Assistant to the Secretary of War advising in matters affecting coated troops and civilians. Since 1919 he has served as Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D. C., the largest institution in America for the higher and professional training of Negro youth, with college, law, medical, dental and pharmaceutical courses of study.
The introduction by Prof. Gordon B. Hancock was a gem, both as to delivery and flowery language. Dr. Scott prefaced his remarks by saying that ther were two things which gave him special pleasure that night one of which was the meeting with Rev. Dr. R. M. Williams, the son of a former classmate and the other was the entrance of his old friend, John Mitchell, Jr. H. remembered that thirty one years ago, when he was editor of the Texas Freeman, he sent that paper to Richmond in exchange with the Richmond Plan-et. Editor Mitchell ended his articles on lynching with the slogan, "Lynch-law must go!" He was glad to see him in the audience.
Then the distinguished speaker proceeded to a discussion of the subject, which is handled in the following report:
EXTRACTS FROM ADDRESS:
In the course of his remarks Doctor Scott reviewed the history of the Negro in America, stating among other things that the Negro during his sixty years of freedom has met the exacting requirements of the complex civilization into which he was plunged at the close of the Civil War. Continuing, he said: "First of all, permit me to state a fundamental fact. This country is as much our own as it is that of any other American. This is the land of our birth and that of our fathers. We came to this continent in 1607 before the founding of this great nation. We are no more aliens than the descendants of those who came on the Mayflower, or of those who landed at Jamestown. We have had (Continued on page 4)

JOHN P. WHITE IS OFFERED FOR ELK G. TREASURER
Something of a sensation has been caused in Elkdom here by the action of Capital City Lodge, No. 11, I. B. P. O. H of W. in unanimously putting Grand Traveling Deputy of the World John P. White in the field as a candidate for the position of Grand Treasurer, which position is now held by the popular James T. Carter Esq. of this city! It is stated that Deputy White was unanimously elected Grand Loyal Knight at the session at Boston and that at the Kansas City session, with two other candidates against him, he won by a plurality of more than 100 votes.
Mr. White states that the candidacy is bonafide and that he is out to win. The present Grand Treasurer is a member of Williams Lodge No. 11, of this city and undoubtedly will go to C'eveland with the solid backing of that lodge.

Many Colored People Injured in Accident.
Wild Stolen Automobile Does Much Damage.
PROF. FISHER TO ADDRESS B Y P U WINTER MEET
Much excitement was caused last Saturday night, 23rd inst., at Brook Avenue and Clay Street, when a touring car, running at terrific speed, struck a one-man street car going east knocking it from the track. The path of another street car going west, demolishing the automobile and injuring more than dozen people. The following is a list of the injured:
Sergeant Sam Flournoy, serious cuts over right eye; Motorman H. L. Winn, slight cuts about face; Motorman J. H. Tooke, cuts and bruises. The following were colored: Charles Smith, 34, 516 W. Clay, slight; Henry Small, 49, 141 W. Clay, slight; Leonda Robinson, 49, 2223 Henrico, slight; Eva Hutchinson, 13, 529 Prentiss, slight; Elliason Christian, 55, 609 E. Clay.
The B. Y. P. U. Council of Richmond will present Prof M. M. Fisher at its Winter Meeting in an address on "The Evolution of the Negro Baptist Church" at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday, January 21, (tomorrow) at 8 P. M.
The aim of the Council is, to present at each quarterly meeting, some topic of inspirational, instructive, and religious value. Prof. M. M. Fisher is adequately prepared for the topic of this meeting. After receiving his A. M. from the University of Chicago and the degree of B. D. from the Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, he held several positions of note, and has been instructor at Virginia Union University since 1922. He has written "Life of Lott Carey" and made many researches on the lives of the man and the history of the churches that have made great contributions to the rise of the Baptist Church in size and in principles. All individuals should take advantage of the opportunity to hear this scholar on this subject.
Rev. G. Oliver Wing. B. D., D. D. of Wytheville, Va. denies the correctness of the references to him in our last issue. His church is progressing.
REV ADAMS VISITS BRISTOL
Rev. R. G. Adams D. D. Superintendent of Missions under the General Association of Virginia passed through the city last Monday enroute home from a visit to Bristol Va. where he preached an able sermon at the Leigh Street Baptist Church. Sunday, January 17, commemorating the 51st anniversary of the church and the 36th anniversary of the pastor, Rev. C. H. Johnson, D. D. A large crowd throughout the section thronged the edifice to listen to the eloquence of the popular pulpit orator from Portsmouth, Va.
The services took place at three o'clock that day and Rev. Dr. Adams was the recipient of unstinted praise by those who were fortunate enough to hear him. He remained there three days and was tended more invitations by his admirers than he was able to fill. The distinguished divine stopped off at Abingdon, Wytheville and Christiansburg and at each place it was a general revival of old existing friendships.
Dr. Adams attended the banquet of the Southern Aid Stockholders Monday night and last last Tuesday for his home. His physical condition has materially improved and apparently promises to him a long and useful life.

Samuel H. Butler, pointer and chauffeur for Hockett Furniture Company was backing the truck up to the warehouse at the corner of Third and Marshall Streets last Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock when he was stricken and expired immediately. A crowd quickly gathered. The remains were carried to W. I. Johnson Sons morgue and later transferred to Funeral Director W. A. Price, who is the family undertaker.
It was decided that he died from natural causes. His employer stated that with the exception of complaining sometimes of indigestion, he was in good health. He had been working there for about nine years and gave satisfaction. His remains were carried to the residence of his mother, 1714 J Street and Funeral Director Price prepared them for shipment Sunday morning to New Kent County. Va. The deceased was married.

questionably wields the siege of the ultra ultra in capital society, is one of those modern sovereign queens who reigns but does not rule. Mrs Henderson has issued decrees at various times against short skirts, smoking, drinking alcohol, eating meat and the enrichment of apartment houses on aristocratic residence streets. She built a palace for the presidents and offered it for their own free. She sought to dub Sixteenth street the Avenue of the Presidents.
Did she put over any of these pet idea? Not one!
But her throne is as firm as ever. Her vigorous opinions are listened to with undiminished respect. Her company is sought as eagerly and invitations to her home are prized as highly as ever. So this clever and wealthy widow of 81 holds court in her "Boundary Castle."
"There is no doubt that people are becoming worse," she tells a visitor in one breath. And in the next one says keenly. "You know I intend to live to be 100."
Mrs. Henderson's latest ukase was against knee length skirts.
"I am afraid I have some of the blood of the reforcers in me," she says. "But when I go through the streets and see girls with flesh-colored stockings which extend unveiled to the edge of their cloaks, and see men watching them and see the girls self-conscious and with the air of not being quite first class, I think it is time to protest.
"The fault is with fashion. I have been foolish myself and have obeyed when corsets and sweeping trains were in style. It is conceivable that fashion should set for girls the corsets of a South Sea savage, they might submit for the sake of folly, the pace. We must demand of designers that their styles be modest."
Convinced proof that Mrs. Henderson reigns is the popularity of her invitations. It is an adage that no visiting dignary, foreign or domestic, has been received in Wash.

ington, regardless of the White House, until he has been a guest at the Henderson castle. Yet she never serves meat at her table, and her wine cellar was smashed spectacularly years before prohibition. Guests at her "at homes" receive ice water instead of spiked punch. But both men and women guests assert their rights by smoking, and she no longer prosecutes her. Her effort to bar apartment houses from her street ended in a compromise. She had given a valuable tract across from her home to the city for a park, incidentally preserving her view from obstruction.

There are some who are outspoken in criticism, but never in argument.
There is the husband who gives his wife "just bushels of kimes." And others are satisfied with just a "peek."

OUR FRIENDS are helping us and incidentally, we propose to help them, now on and forever more.
YOU CAN APPROACH white people in a proper way, even though they greet you in an improper manner.
THE BILL for the separation of the races in Virginia can do no possible good and is destined to do much harm. The races here are already segregated.
SOME PEOPLE lose faith in God because some of His professed followers are hypocritical and undeserving. In this they are deceiving themselves.
YOUNG HON. HARRY FLOOD BYRD is making a strong bid for public favor these days. He may be a "spring chicken," but he is displaying the conservative judgment of an "old hen"
THOSE WHITE FOLKS, who think that colored folks have no influence with white folks and those colored folks, who believe that white folks have no influence with colored folks are both fooling themselves.
THE LOGICAL EFFECT of the segregation bill being offered in the Legislature of Virginia will be to advertise Virginia as being antagonistic to the Negro. Those of us here have been trying to induce those, who have gone away, to come back home. O, the pity of it!
PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE is being severely criticised these days and in many instances he deserves it, but taking it all in all, he has done "mighty well" in dealing with embarrassing situations. The american people believe that he means right.
THE WORLD COURT resolution has passed the United States Senate badly disfigured, but still on the edge of the ring. It is evident that its opposers forced drastic concessions in order to secure the passage of the measure and that it will cause no end of embarrassment on the other side of the Atlantic.
IT HAS BEEN reported to Rev. A. W. Brown, leader in the movement, that a Northern representative of the Dreyfus Company, after a private consultation with the local management got an agreement to take down the signs, which have been so obnoxious to a large portion of our people here and to observe the ordinary rules of good business.
YOU MAY WELL say what you will, but no Governor has occupied the Executive Mansion of Virginia, who has been as popular with the colored folks as Governor E. Lee Trinkle seems to be. His charming Madame has been a help-meet to him in every sense of the word. It is a rare thing for a beautiful woman to combine service with this handicapping visitation of nature.
DR. PEYTON HERE
Dr. Peyton arose and said, "I am blessed to be here today. I have been sick during the past week. I have been fighting the gripe. Nothing else would have induced me to go anywhere but to come here to Richmond. I promised you last year. He congratulated them upon their work on First Street. "Put a good house there and put good people there. I am very glad to see Brother Mitchell here. I hope he will come to Montclair. I have three beds there. I sleep in but one.
ARE DYING MORTALS.
We want to keep in our minds that we are dying mortals. All of us, young and old, will in a few years be gone to another world. So many people are crazy folks, who don't believe there is another world. They tell you about your being second and third cousins to the monkeys. They are evolutionists. Some say there was never any Eve. I don't know what they are going to do with Adam. They would make God out a liar. There are all kinds of schisms. I am reading about a Protestant parliament. I never thought there was such a little Christianity in the Protestant Church.
CATERING TO THE WORLD.
"They were trying to make Christianity and heathenism equal. The church is filled up with the world today from the pulpit back to the door. The pulpit is catering to the world today and God never intended it. The worst blows the church gets today are from within. It is the worldly men within the church that are killing the church dead as a nit. The devil is everywhere in the world. There is no possible space that the influence of evil is not there.
THE TEXT
"The demons, agents of the devil are many." He defined the good influences and showed how to distinguish the good influences from the evil. He then took his text from the 10th Psalm. Subject, "Hall-c-hijah."
"The word means praise God. I think that you with other churches have every right to give praise to God. He has done much for you. He has done much for the great world He has made. He made provisions for from the whale to the minnow, from the condor to the humming bird. When you are reminded of that you say, O, praise the Lord for His goodness and kindness to us.
A WORD ABOUT TEETH
"There is not a man or woman in this building, who comes in here except for the kindly hand of God. Had you thought of how many teeth He put away down there in the gums, above and below? God makes provision before it is necessary for you to use them. Away down the road God Almighty has made a test that will test your sincerity and your Christianity, and if you are not rooted and grounded you will die without faith in God Almighty.
FLEE FROM TESTS
"Some people flee from tests. The church of Christ today has become a bunch of, cowards, afraid to praise God. Once you were singing, 'You go and I'll go with you. Open your mouth and I'll speak 'for you' but you've forgotten all about that now. Speak for God, talk about Him. It is indeed a psalm of praise to God for His dealings with His people. It reminds of what God has done and would do for His people. This is what David had in mind. David is telling the people that God had sent for you out of a foreign land and brought you into this goodly land."
WON THE BATTLES
"Day by day, look back to the day when God redeemed you from hell. Then look back, step by step, how you came to your present place. He saw that God Almighty had won all of the battles for them. He then called upon Israel to give thanks unto God for all that had been done for them. A few months ago, you saw yourselves in the midst of turmoil. He separated you and brought you here and sat you down. The hole is now in the ground and the contractor is here to give you a building second to none.
THAT LOUD VOICE.
"O, give thanks to God. Some will say, 'Oh, Brother Peyton, you are boasting. Did, you ever hear God speak? He spoke on Mt. Zion and He made the earth tremble. Yet, I can't talk like that. I have a heavy voice. God has a loud voice. I talk loud.
"You must feel your religion. If you don't feel it, go down and hunt for it. Praise God. Give thanks to God. He says, 'Call on God in time of trouble' and I'll deliver you.' There is a continual warfare on. Evil suggestions, evil thoughts, evil desires—you must fight them down or else they will get the mastery of you."
THE DEVIL AND THE ELDER
"I'll deliver you always in time of trouble. Call on Him. I stayed awake once three nights in succession. There was something on my mind. The devil came over and said, 'Peyton, you are crazy.' He didn't say, 'You are going crazy.' He said, 'You cannot sleep, therefore you are crazy.' He said, 'The thing for you to do is to get up and
THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA
dress and go into the street and
act', I said, 'I am not crazy. If
I can't quote one verse of this, I
am crazy:
'My soul be on thy guard,
Ten thousand foes arise.
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the sket.
WENT TO SLEEP
"I shut my eyes up and I slept like a baby. I know where to go to get quietude. Go to God. If you do not, you are ready for the mad house and hell as well. Speak in grateful remembrance of Him. Give Him obedience. Why should we praise the Lord? Because of what He had won for Israel. He brought them through the Red Sea to the land of Canaan. As you are scattered, the nations of the world, you should tell them about God.
THE BABY
"We make a god of a baby. We do not think of any God until the baby dies. So many mothers and fathers forget God, when they have only one baby. But when four or five come, with nothing for them to eat, then we think differently. Then some people get in one of those things that run on four wheels. They say to God, 'Good morning,' on Sunday morning, 'I'll see you tonight'. He spoke of accidents as a result.
THE JEWS AWAKENING
"The Hebrew folks are doing what they have never done before. Rabbi Wise spoke of Jesus Christ as a good man and a Jew at that. The Jews are divided. If we could turn right about face, we would convert the world. The Lord wants to make of you what H<sub>e</sub> wanted to make of the Jew. The Jew fought to some extent the plans of God. You are the olive tree He put in there. You are the wild olive that has been grafted. No nation exhibits the faith the American Negro exhibits. There are less suicides among the Negroes.
COLORED FOLKS' TROUBLES
"Th<sub>6</sub> Negroes have come through the same kind of trials that the Jews experienced. It is up to me to tell you to give thanks to God. It is up to me to tell you to call on God in the time of trouble. Tell the people that from the depths of heil God has brought me up. Give praise to God Almighty. There are no people in the world that compare with the colored people of America.
FAITH IN GOD
"Nothing in the world did it, but faith in God. We are going as far ahead as though we had been free a thousand years. Nations have been free for that length of time, and they do not equal us. Thank God Almighty for it. I am today what God has made me. All of it belongs to Him. Give the credit to God. God gave Israel a most excellent system of laws from which many of the laws of civilization were taken. Tell the world about God. You will die without faith.
YOUNG FOLKS' VAGARIES.
"When we tell about this, the younger class calls it fogyism. It is an old saying, 'Young people think that old folks are fooys; old folks know that young folks are fooys.' Let us accept the foundation of our forefathers. God has done much for you. Call on His name in time of trouble. Call on His name in time of peace. May God keep you".
THE CONCLUSION
The collection for the day totalled $204.94. Communion services were attended in the afternoon and regular services at night. The last two services were more largely attended. Rev. Dr. Peyton was presented with three envelopes as gifts from church organizations. He officiated again last Wednesday night and seemed delighted with his visit here.
PASTOR W. D. WHITE PREACHES
ON "THE NAME OF JESUS."
The following sermon was delivered by Rev. W. D. White, B. D. pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church Sunday morning, 17th inst. at the Armstrong High School Auditorium to a large and appreciative audience:
"And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shall call His name Jesus; for it is he that shall save His people from their sins." - Matt. 1:21
1. At the beginning of history, names must be invented; in the course of ages, they become hereditary. The Baptist was about to be called Zacharias, for that was his father's name. But in early times the Hebrews made names for their children. The name was often a memorial of some circumstances connected with the birth, or descriptive of the child's appearance, or expressive of the hopes entertained of him. In this last case, the name might turn out to be most inappropriate, and become a sad record of blighted expectations.
The first child born into the world was called by a name which betokened the fond hope of his mother that he would prove a treasure to her; but the infamy of his evil life bitterly put to flight that bright dream. Our eyes are dim; we cannot see through the mist of the future, and foretell what our children shall be after years. We may bestow on them beautiful names, but, to use the striking comparison of So'omon, this fine name may be as a 'jewel of gold in a swine's snout.'
A PECULIAR CASE
2. Had it been left to human wisdom to invent a name for the child of the Virgin, we can hardly form a guess of what the result would have been. A little discussion is sometimes excited by the
difficulty of fixing on a name. But this case was peculiar. Here was a child unlike any that had ever been born of woman. How perplexing it would have been to find a name sufficiently expressive and obviously appropriate. But the point was setled by God Himself. The right to determine the name of the child belongs to the parent; and how infinitive competent in this case was the Father to give His Son the most suitabl name.
The name selected was beautifully simple. A child may be taught to lisp it, and the dultest memory can retain it. Divine greatness is unostentatious. The simplest word in our language is 'God' and the next to it is 'Jesus'.
"If thou wilt be well with God, and have grace to rule thy life aright; and come the joy of love: this name Jesus fasten it so fast in thy heart that it never come out of thy thought. And when thou speakest to 'Him, and gayest 'Jesus' through custom, it shall be in thy ears joy, in thy mouth honey, in thy heart melody.
THE ASSOCIATION OF THE NAME
1. The name Jesus was no new name, coined in the courts of heaven and carried to earth for the first time by the lips of the angel messenger. A new name is cold and meaningless, and stirs no memories of the past. There is a warmth about an old familiar name which no new combination of letters can ever hope to rival, and so it was an old name a name with a history behind it, that the angel gave to the unborn son of Mary. There was more than one little Jewish boy who bore that name at that time.
In the $h_{10}$ high priest's family alone there were no less than three, each of whom in one day be high priest in his turn. There was Jesus, son of Saphia, who would one day become a famous brigand chief, and, still, more famous Jesus, surnamed Barabas, whom the people would prefer one day to Jesus, surnamed Christ. There was Jesus Justus, who would one day become the trusted he per of St Paul, and Jesus, the father of Elymus th $h_{10}$ sorcerer, who would one day be the opponent of St Paul at Cyprus. There was Jesus, the friend of Josephus, and Jesus Thebuti, the priest, and Jesus, the peasant, who would one day terrify Jerusalem with his cries. Over many little Jesus's a mother's head was bending on the day when Mary clasped her new born baby to her bosom. Why were so many boys called by that name—or by the name of such national heroes?
"2. Who were those heroes? Where do we find the name 'Jesus' in the Old Testament?—We do not find it anywhere nor do we expect to find it; for we are all familiar with the way a name changes as it passes from one language to another—how, for example, the Hebrew Johanah becomes in English, John, and in German, Hans, and in Russian, Ivan, and in Spanish Juan, and in Italian, Giovanni; the name is the same but the form varies according to the language. The Old and the New Testaments were written in different languages—thus the names appear under different forms. Elijah in the New Testament is called Elias.
THE TWO FORMS
"L. As a matter of fact we meet the name for the first time in the 13th chapter in the book of Numbers and the 16th verse. 'Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua (Jehovah is salvation)' Jesus and Joshua are exactly the same name, only one is Greek form and the other Hebrew, Joshua, the son of Nun was the commanding chief of the Lord's people, under whom they conquered. But this Jesus died, and the centuries passed on and the time came when the people 'ost the land that had been given them, on account of their sins. Then comes the second Jesus, who brought them back from the land of Babylon, Joshua, the high priest, the forerunner of the greater High Priest.
"Man is the principle of the religion of the Neo-Hegelians, and the intellect is the climax of man. Their religion then, is the religion of intellect. There you have the two worlds: Christianity brings and preaches salvation by the conversion of the will—humanism, by the emancipation of the mind. One attacks the heart and the other the brain. The difference between Jesus and Socrates is that Socrates taught reformation and Jesus teaches transformation
THE MEANING OF THE NAME.
"1. In one sense, there is nothing in a name. The nature of the thing is independent of it. It is not in the power of any name to make evil good or good evil; and our Saviour, Jesus Christ would, have been what He is, by whatever name He had been called. But in another view there is something in a name. It stands for the thing and, through frequent use, comes to be identified with it. It is therefore of the highest moment that the name should correspond with the thing, and convey a correct idea of $R$—exactness of thought, and of language should correspond.
"(2) The name of Jesus then means saviour. What does He save men from?
"1. Jesus saves from ignorance. If we consider the incarnate life of the Son of God as a theophany and a revealing, we see at once what power it had and still has, to rescue man from the blind error which is a part of sin. In Jesus man sees God as He is, and, awakened by this vision, he sees time and the world as they really are. Jesus is far more than a pedagogue or schoolmaster.
THE POWER OF THE NAME
"The angel said to Joseph, 'Thou shall call! His name Jesus' and today what is there so great as this? What other so enduring? It has lived through anarchy and revolution.
THE NEW YORK TIMES
through storm and change, decay and death. Other names since then and many names accounted great—names which held the world in awe, which blanched the cheek, and made men tremble—have passed into oblivion; but this name is as fresh as ever with far more power. Everything in this world has been hallowed by the name of Jesus—women and children, the cross, and the grave, the sick; everything.
Our friends are remembering and the time will come when we remember them.
EMMETT J SCOTT
(Continued from page 1)
a part in all the great wars of this country from the fall of Crispus Attucks in the Boston Massacre to the glorious honors won on the battlefields of France during the World War.
"We have seen this, our country, grow from a babe in the family of nations to its present position as the acknowledged leader among the civilized nations of the world. Our labor has contributed to this development. We, therefore, have a right to share in the opportunities presented in America, the great country we have helped to develop.
"If I have seemed to stray a bit from the path channeled for me tonight, it is because I have wanted, first of all to paint a background of privilege $_{\mathrm{c}}$ and opportunity which has been ours, and which we can continue to make ours if we are made of the eternal stuff we call real manhood and womanhood. We have a ready made some substantial contribution to American life,—to its material and its spiritual advancement. Of the material progress we have made the past sixty years, $_{\mathrm{r}}$ is very general knowledge. We have proudly and quite properly celebrated and chronicled our wealth in homes and farms, churches and schools, banks and insurance $_{\mathrm{c}}$ companies, and other business enterprises, colleges and universities and industrial schools, but of our progress in things of the $_{\mathrm{c}}$ spirit we have not spoken of so much, or so often."
Reviewing the contribution of the American Negro, Doctor Scott called attention to the success of colored men and women in science, literature and music, and mentioned particularly those men of the race who have made important contributions in the field of research science. He also referred to those who have won great success in the worlds of music and poetry, mentioning the group of young colored men and women who have recently won recognition as poets of distinction.
He made a passionate appeal for more men and women of his race to enter these cultural fields in which he said, "the greatest victories of the race are yet to be won."

UNION GOES TO I MEETS VIRGINIA
UNION GOES TO HAMPTON TODAY MEETS VIRGINIA SEMINARY FRIDAY
The fast-going Virginia Union University Quintet of basketeers leaves Saturday to play Hampton Institute's "5" at Hampton Va. Next week the much heralded Virginia Seminary and College Quintet will invade Richmond to play Union University at Johnson's Auditorium in an important game.
Much interest is being manifested as there are many friends of the visiting team located in the city. A real attraction is promised. Mel Whidby, all-American quarterback will be seen in Seminary's line-up.
Local followers will see the Union machine in action in mid-season form when they trot to meet their ancient floor rivals Friday, February 5.
UNION DEFEATS ST PAUL 30-25
(Va. Union News Service) L
The Panther Five representing the Virginia Union University defeated St. Vaul 30-25 in a hotly contested floor clash last Saturday night, making their third straight win on their C. I. A. A. schedule of games. It will be remembered that both Shaw University and Virginia Normal and I. I. fell before the shooting and passing combination of the Union Bnsketeers.
The lightweight quintet started off Saturday night against the St Paul five, with Winfrey and, "Chink" Smith, doing every work at forwards Scott holding down the pivot job and Washington shooting well from the guard position, ably supported by N. Smith. Amos, Robinson and Pierce were at their best for the visitors. The score at the end of the first half was 17-16 in favor of Virginia Union.
The Panther "Big V" was injected at the beginning of the second half, composed of Ballard and Brown, forwards, Gardner, center, and C. Williams and W. Jackson, guards. St. Paul retaining the same five presented a good five man combination defense, but the last period saw the Union machine pulling ahead of the Lawrenceville basketers and winning by the score of 30-25.

Quick Way to End Dangerous Cough
Quick Way to End Dangerous Cough
Why let a dangerous cough hang on when you can, through a simple treatment, get speedy relief and often break it up completely in 24 hours?
This treatment based on the famous Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You take just one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. It has a double action. It not only soothes and heals irritation, but also removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of the coughing. So the worst cough quickly disappears.
Dr King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children, too—no harmful drugs. Very economical, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good druggists. Ask for

DISCOVERY

Thousands use it with success
Pains in the chest may come from sore muscles or from something more serious. In either case, the safe and harmless use of one of Johnson's Belladonna Plasters will give you quick relief. It not only helps to quiet the pain, but the plaster also braces up the muscles and gives the effect of a gentle hand rubbing that strengthens the weakened parts. In Johnson's Belladonna Plasters you will find the right kind of medicines, and they go through your skin to just the spot where the pain is.
These plasters are also used by thousands of those who suffer from backache, lumbago, kidney troubles and aches or pains in all parts of the body.
Just ask your druggist for the famous plaster with the Red Cross, made by Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, N. J., U. S. A.

THE MONKEYS TRIED IT
IMAGINATION'S POWER.
CORN LOW, HOGS HIGH.
ZERO WILL HELP.
Charles Garland, an earnest young New Englander, inherited a large fortune, refused at first to take the money, saying no man had a right to money not earned. He changed his mind and drifted into a sidetrack. Convinced, perhaps, that he was an original thinker, he decided that marriage was an unnecessary institution. Now he is arrested, because a young child born on his farm died, having for its mother an unmarried girl.
The young man should realize that his experience was tried by our alleged similar ancestors for thousands of years before man appeared, and abandoned by our human ancestors of 100,000 years ago.
Not to do away with marriage, but to make men WORTHY of it, is the task of the human race. "Away from the monkey life" is a better motto than "Back to nature."
Imagination is more powerful than fact. James Dempsey, not the Dempsey you mean, owns a restaurant. Two men entered, held him up, he delivered his money.
A policeman dashed in, arrested the man "pointing the gun" at Dempsey. The only gun was two fingers that had been pointed.
The second man, escaped, came back that afternoon, pointed one finger at Dempsey, and the latter aran gave up what money he had.

Mrs. Gerald P. Nye, wife of the publisher Senator from North Dakota is visiting in Washington. Senator Nye gained his seat in the Senate in spite of vigorous opposition, which probably accounts for the smile of satisfaction Mrs. Nye wrote when photographed.
Corn prices are low, "flogs are high." This proves farmers and packers. Corn and hog prices should go up and down together, since the pig is really corn changed into meat. There is always something to puzzle and distress the farmer. He has no sufficient national organization, and after election day he hasn't much influence in government, compared with railroads and other big financial units.
At the midday luncheon club in New York you can see eating at the same time those that control ten thousand millions of dollars. Farmers are scattered all over the land, and if you could get them together there wouldn't be any hall that could hold them.
Uncle Sam is riding along on velvet. Severe competition abroad in the world's markets at home is said to be ahead of our producers. But everything, including Providence, seems to be with us now.
Citizens of Minnesota get from their State University interesting information about their State. It contained the beginning of life on this planet, in the form of algae, two hundred million years ago. The first life came as soon as the earth's temperature fell below the boiling point.
One of the first real animals was an ancestor of our frogs and salamanders, living on land and in water, with a foot four inches in diameter. It is from the five toes of the salamander, you know, that we get the five fingers on each hand, according to the evolutionists.
Mathematicians wish that salamander had had six toes. That would have given us the duodecimal system instead of the decimal system, which is based on our ten fingers and thumbs. The duodecimal system would be a great improvement on the decimal, twelve having four divisors, ten having only two.
Mr. Green, of the American Federation of Labor, predicts an early end of the coal strike, now distressing the East and other parts of the country. The thermometer at zero may help. Americans are "docile," as Northeliffe said. You must pinch their fingers with the cold or pinch their pockets hard to make them take action. And, unlike mine workers and others, the people are not organized.

Things You Should Know
by John Joseph Cusinan, M. D.
THE CHILD'S THROAT.
Be very vigilant in caring for the
child's throat in winter.
Formaldehyde in solution is the most effective, reliable of the fungiants with which I am acquainted. in epidemics of infectious disease it is a servant of inestimable value. The case of scablet fever demands isolation and quarantine, but the rest of the family may be protected by the judicious, timely use of formaldehyde. Keep sprinkled about the bedding, clothing and rugs, it is fatal to germs which are abroad in the air. Formaldehyde is a good defense against pneumonia, small-pox, and influenza. It should be used in forty percent solution, and its use limited to a point where it gently irritates the eyes and nasal passages. It is never used in contact being too strong, but should be carefully sprinkled about the room and breathed in with the air which it purifies.
Germs that attack the throat are among the easiest to destroy, if combatted early—before they become deeply imbedded in the tissues. Even a weak solution of boracic acid is effective if used as a gargle, spray, or nasal douche at the first sign of disturbance. Babies and small children may be sprayed with a suitable antiserum for the nose and throat after trips through dust, or after attendance on winter gatherings where somebody coughs and thus sets free infectious bacteria. A good plan is to spray before going to bed and on rising, and the boracic acid solution is one of the simplest and best preventives of trouble.
Cold, icy air is dangerous for adults as well as children. Cover baby's face with a light woolen fabric, if he is to be carried through extreme cold to a neighbor's house, no matter how short the distance.

The One who Forgot BY RUBY M. AYRES
New'French Ambassador Arrives
THE FAMILY OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN
Mr. and Mrs. Henri Berenger are shown on their arrival in America. Berenger succeeds Emile Dauschner as French ambassador to U.S.
The World War brought great sorrow to untold numbers, none more bitter than that allotted to her by the British government, from her sweetheart, retaining only his promise to make her his bride on his first leave home. She had had to leave London, and had lived somehow through the weeks of waiting with news fragmentary and infrequent, finally returned to London, but when he faced his betrothed, he failed to show signs of recognition—the shell he had had also robbed him of his memory.
JOAN ENDICOTT, whose husband is also serving, is living with Nan Mall London apartment. There we find.
LIBUT. JOHN ARNOTT, pal of Peter's, attempting to pursue Nan to go down to his sister's home with him and Peter's the hope that Peter might under these favorable circumstances regain his memory. Nan finds it impossible to accept. Arnott may to leave while Nan is lost in reverie.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
NAN tried to smile. They had planned such a time when he got his leave, his last letter to her before he was wounded had been full of all that he meant to do when he came home—one sentence he had written seemed to leap out of the post and stare at her.
"We'll spend our honeymoon in London. I think Nan. There are such lots of places I haven't seen, and I shall love doing the round of the shops with you and buying you lots of things. I suppose you know that you haven't got a proper engagement ring yet, madam? That's the first thing we'll do the morning after I get home—go and choose a ring."
And now he was home, and he had forgotten her. He was quite content to go the round of the shops with John Arnott instead.
She went to the door with Arnott and bade him goodby.
"But I shall see you again, shan't I be asked anxiously. 'We shan't be going down to my sister's just yet. I hope you will let me see you again."
Nan answered that she would be very pleased. At the back of her mind she was wondering if she dared ask Arnott where he and Peter were going that morning—if she dared go in the same direction herself, in the hope of meeting them. If she could just see Peter, just watch him from a distance, it would be something.
She shook hands with Arnott mechanically.
A telegraph boy ran up the steps as they stood there. He handed Nan a telegram.
"Name of Endicott?" he said lazily.
"For Joan," said Nan. A little jing of envy went through her heart. Once the sight of a telegram set all her pulses racing, but now she cared less than nothing. She be Arnott a hasty "goodyb" and put in to and her friend. Joan was only just dressing. She used very frail and childish standing there with her hair tumbling out her shoulders. Nan spoke to recently. "A telegram, dear," she said. Joan turned sharply, her face pink white. She dropped her brush with a clatter. "For me? Oh, Nan, you open it—I'm so afraid." Nan laughed—she tore open the envelope carelessly, and drew out the message. "Home on Friday, five days' leave. -Tim." She read the message and Joan gave a little terrestrial scream.
I don't believe it—you

She passed Joan's room, and went into the little sitting room where the small bundle of letters returned to her by Arnott still lay on the table.
She picked them up and held them mechanically. It was quite time now that she woke up, she was telling herself. "I have had dreams like this before—not quite so bad, perhaps, but still very bad. . . ."
Then steps sounded along the little passage outside, and Joan came into the room.
"I hope you won't think me very horrified Joan said, in a sort of whisper. "Bird of course, when Tim comes home he will tell me all to himself—he has said no more, and I was wondering—you won't be hurt, Nan? I was wondering if you'd mind going away for just those few

"I have had,dreams like this before."
"You could go home just for a few days, couldn't you?" Joan went on. "Or to some friends—I'm sure you won't mind me asking you, but you?" She looked up anxiously. "Are you angry, Nan?" "No," said Nan; she gave a queer little laugh. "As you say, I can go home or—or to some friends." And the thought of John Arnott's embarrassed invitation crossed her weary mind. Joan gave a little sign of relief "was sure you would if I asked you," she said. "It was the first thought that came into my head after I read Tim's telegram. I've been without him so long and we used to be so happy just by ourselves. Nan said yes, but she felt curiously hurt that Joan should be so anxious to get rid of her. "I should have offered to go, anyway," she said, with a touch of dignity. "I quite understand how you feel."

when her father brought his second wife up to the nursery and told Nam that she must love her.
For ten years she had been forged to stand it; ten years during which three small stepbrothers appeared to add to her burdens, and push her more and more out of favor, till at last she had begged her father to allow her to leave home.
So Nan went to London with nothing but f10 and her own pluck to help her, and for a whole week she sat in the bed sitting room which she taken in an unattractive suburb and answered advertisements and tramped to and fro from agents' offices.
And then one day she answered an advertisement for the post of companion to a delicate lady and got it.
The delicate lady proved to be one of the few women who did not regard a companion as someone to be treated not quite as a servant, and Nan stayed with her for years.
Happy years they were, of uneventful, not at all exciting, monotony, but it was better than being at home. Nobody ever smoke un-

kindly to her or made her feel that she was not wanted, and it was a real grief to Nan when one morning she went to Miss Lyster's room as usual to wake her, and found that the little lady had died in her sleep.
Mr. Rook, Miss Lyster's solicitor, came and went and was kind to Nan in his dry sort of way.
"You had better stay on for the present, my dear young lady" he said. "It is impossible to make final arrangements till I hear from Miss Lyster's nephew. Yes, there is a nephew, as, of course, you know—"
"You will find that you have not been forgotten," Mr. Rook told her gently, and later, when Miss Lyster's will was read, Nan found that she had been left a sufficiently large capital to bring her in sixty pounds a year.
Everything else went to Peter Lyster, but it was many weeks after Miss Lyster's death, and after the war had broken out that the little maid who had stayed on with her came to the door to say that a soldier was asking to see Miss Lyster.
And that was how Nan met Peter. Nan had also met Joan Bendicott with Miss Lyster, and when T. T. held the army the two lived together, and had ever since.

Sunday was a great day with us. At 11 A. M. Dr. Hatcher preached on our most frequent and strangest visitor and enemy. Death, under the subject of "The Final Exodus." We were thrilled, made to shudder and resolve to live better lives as he went into the mystery and certainty of death. A duet by the Pinkney Brothers from the Children's Church was highly delightful.
At night Dr. Hatcher delivered another sermon in the series of "Spiritual Betours", using Balaam to show the danger of turning from the Highway of Holiness.

A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitin 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 me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the dearest benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated or, 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 be fore being operated or. 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 can. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I still recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE.

I received your treatment O. K.,
and I have started to taking it
already for a few days, and it has
already begun to improve my al-
ment so I am sending to you for one
more bottle of medicine for the
b'oof. I have spoken to many of my
friends and they say they are going
to send for n treatment. I think it
is a great remedy. I do not suffer
with my pains as I used to and my
appetite is just fine and I sleep much
better every night and feel fine
monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms: The following ringing words of Major General Boll—adressed to the famous "Buffaloos", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:—"This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Monel would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome".
THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY
More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen.
As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for.
THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE
This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving "the a. s.ors for the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy.
The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
