The Independent Progressive Educational Association has planned under the able direction of Messrs. Ruffin and Davis one of the most elaborate, and what you might truthfully call the best amateur attraction ever staged in this city. The association has fortunately secured some of the best local talent imaginable including Johnson's Happy Fals our latest orchestra, and can honestly claim that they are producing an all star show. The I. P. E. A. Minstrel and Male Revue will be held at Armstrong High School auditorium on the nights of May 5th and 6th, at 8:20 P. M. sharp. The admission is 50 cents lower floor, 35 cents balcony. As no tickets are being sold in advance we advise that you come early to avoid the rush.

The members of the Second Bapt's Church, South Richmond are jubilant over the visit to them by the Second Bapt's Church, North Richmond. The church came across the river under the leadership of Rev. W. H. Arrington, who was selected by the officers to be the preacher of the hour. Deacon E. F. Johnson and his fine staff of comrades brought a large following with them including the choir and usher board. The service was enthusiastic from beginning to end. Rev. Arrington delivered a great sermon and closed by asking the officers to cover his dollar in contributing to the support of the church. Deacon E. M. Woodson and Deacon E. F. Johnson asked for the offering which totaled $62. Rev. E. C. Smith, B. Th., A. B. pastor of the Southside Church made a brief statement explaining the object of the congregation in erecting the Memorial Sunday School Annex in memory of the late Dr. D. Webs'er Davis. At the close of the service the visitors went in a body to every nook and corner of the Church to inspect the model plant. Many expressions of approval were heard.

State Convention. WILL HOLD 60TH ANNUAL SES SION IN PETERSBURG. MAY 11:14-$25,000 FOR THE VIRGINIA SEMINARY That which has proven in many respects, one of the most eventful years in the history of The Virginia Baptist's State Convention will close in the 60th Annual Session to convene in the First Baptist Church of Petersburg, Va., May 11-14 1927. As president of the convention, I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the members and friends who have so loyally cooperated with me during the past year, and at the same time express on behalf of the convention our profound gratitude for the splendid cooperation which we have received from our many friends and loyal supporters our side of the Convention both in Virginia and elsewhere. Especially do we feel ourselves obligated to our friends in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, whose substantial assistance rendered us during the present financial crisis on account of The Virginia Seminary and College of Lynchburg, made it possible for us to keep the school open. Under the guidance of our new president, Dr. W. H. R. Powell, the work is making marvelous progress. He has already proven himself to be God's chosen leader to save the cause. Let us continue to stand by him. Notwithstanding the two extra sessions which we were forced to hold during the year since our 59th annual session in Staunton, the convention in Petersburg next month is greatly in need of a large and enthusiastic gathering as well as a large donation for the work. An effort will be made at the convention to raise not less than $25,000 for our school at Lynchburg. Let each church, and other organizations and each individual interested in the cause of Christian education bring or send to Petersburg a tangible expression of their love for the cause in the form of a liberal donation. The Virginia Seminary and College, perhaps more than any other similar institution conducted and controlled by the race, is an opportunity which no thoughtful member of the race can afford to overlook. Whoever is interested in the progress of the race must be interested in the Virginia Seminary and College. The continued cooperation and support of our own constituents and that of our many friends and supporters throughout the country is earnestly solicited in our effort to maintain and extend the work of that great institution at Lynchburg. Let us see you or hear from you at Petersburg. Yours in His Name, A. L. JAMES. President of the Virginia Baptist State Convention GREAT REVIVAL Rev. A. A. Galvin, D.

TEACHERS ASKING FOR MORE PAY IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM HERE The Richmond Teachers Association is conducting a campaign for an increase of pay for our teachers in the public schools. The increase asked for will approximate 25 per cent. It is admitted that the pay of the colored teachers in Richmond is below the standard in other Southern States, aside from the fact that they receive only about 50 per cent of the present salary scale for white teachers. Many organizations are endorsing their plea and the News Leader has taken up the cause in its editorial columns. The following endorsement was received from the League of Women Voters (white) through its President Mrs. Louise F. Catterall: At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Richmond League of Women Voters, held recently, a resolution was passed endorsing the petition of the Richmond Colored Teachers' Association regarding revisions in the salary scale at Colored 'teachers' as follows: 1. That the minimum salary be fixed on the basis of the present cost of living in Richmond. 2. That additional grants in salaries. That proportionate increase be given to stimulate professional advance. be made for length of service. We hope that the City School Board will find it possible to grant the Association's petition. Colored people are sending their children to the universities and colleges hereabouts.

A recent issue of a widely-real magazine contains an advertisement asserting that a college education is worth $150,000. However startling such a statement seems, it is easily proved. Other statistics have established the fact that the average earning capacity of a college graduate is $6,000 a year. Only twenty five years of work at such a salary are necessary to make the seemingly fabulous sum mentioned above. The salary of Negroes, of course, by no means averages so high. Indeed few Negroes at the present time earn half that amount. But it is an irrefutable fact that those comparatively few Negroes whose salaries do range above $3,000 are in a large majority college-trained men. There are, naturally, exceptions. We read occasionally of a 'self-made' man rising to the pinnacle of success. But, in the first place, these self-made men are becoming more and more scarce. And in the second place they invariably gather around them men holding a college degree. Finally, a large number of failures in Negro business have been due to lack of training in business administration. Salaries are, moreover, constantly increasing. One college president has apparently definitely stated that the salary of a college professor should be $5,000 as a minimum. Many executives in our banks and insurance companies have already reached this level. Some of our leading physicians and lawyers even exceed this amount. And, as every one knows, we have at last a college president at a salary of $10,000 a year. Although a college education evidently pays a high return on the investment cost of acquiring it, other factors besides the monetary reward deserve careful consideration. With such progressive States as North Carolina and West Virginia appropriating millions for the expansion and improvement of Negro education, with even the most backward States gradually realizing the necessity for college graduates as high school teachers, the need for properly equipped educators is growing even faster than the supply. The demand for well trained leaders is perhaps no more urgent anywhere than in the church. One authority recently stated that of the 46,000 pulpits occupied in this country by colored men, only sixty have pastors with a college degree. Much of the criticism aimed at our churches is based on the failure of ministry to grow space with the congregation. If the church is to play the role that it should, its leaders must be on the same intellectual plane as the members. Our two medical schools, Howard and Meharry, are now so crowded that even many college graduates cannot gain admission. The chance for an undergraduate is obviously hopeless. It is only a question of time before our law schools likewise will require a college degree for admission. Many white schools have already shown the way. In addition, the state's board examinations are gradually becoming so rigid' that in a few years it will be futile for the L.L. B. who has not also an A. B. 'o even take the examinatoin. In every avenue of life, then, a college degree is becoming the minimum requirement for success. It is this fact that makes the 8th annual Go To High School Go To College Campaign of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity an important event to Negro Youth. The purpose of this campaign, as the name clearly in dietses, is to urge Negro boys and girls 'to obtain a high school and college education. Throughout the country from Mav 1-7 the members of this organization, all of whom are college men will utilize every means that modern ingenuity permits in order to popularize this burning message. Speeches, newspaper articles, the radio will urge the recessivity for higher education. The efforts of these college men to inspire others to follow them deserve the support of all educational agencies. The results of the previous campaigns have been very gratifying. But there still remain thousands of boys and girls, thousands of parents, and many States and cities that yet need to be taught that money invested in education is the very best insurance policy that the child and citizen can purchase. All those who aid the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in conveying this message will render a service to the individual community, the State and the race. —Rayford W. Logan.

Span of Life Increased 12 Years by Declares Flesher-Dogs, Rats and Guinea Pigs Help ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane SEE WHAT WE SEE. SACCO-VANZETTI. STUDY VITAMINS. EGYPT AND U. S. A. He only Mr. Gifford, head of the telephone company, proved that "television," making it possible to see and hear individuals or crowds hundreds of miles away, is practical. The question, "How can that be made useful?" is answered in a way that in centuries to come will shed light on our civilization. "There is no doubt about it." you are told, "the only way in which television can be made profitable is IN CONNECTION WITH PRIZE FIGHTS." People will pay well to see men fighting and to hear the yells of the mob gathered around the prize ring. Would television make money enabling distant crowds to see and hear great preachers or college professors? It would NOT. A conference of college students has decided against trial marriage, quite solemnly, by a vote of 16 to 7. Wise Providence has decided against it by a vote of about 100 to 0. When the seven young gentlemen who think they believe in trial marriage fall in love, they will know positively the marriage they plan is to last forever, would detest the theory of a trial, and insult anybody suggesting it. If or not, they would not be worth marrying. "It would be better for Massachusetts and the administration of justice generally, if a commission would appoint to investigate the evidence of which Seco and Vanzetti are ooundemned to die." That is the opinion of the Rev. Round D. Sawyer, Congressional clerk and member of the Massachusetts Legislature. The commission, for which he introduces a bill, would consist of the Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Span of life Increase Declares Flex The Biblical three-score years and ten long regarded as the reasonable maximum expectation for human life, soon may be established, instead, as the average age for mankind—thanks to rats, dogs and guinea pigs. As a result of experiments on these and other animals during the last 30 years, the normal span of life in America has been increased 12 years, according to Dr. Simon Flexner, Director of the Pocketfeder Institute for Medical Research, in a statement issued through the United States Public Health Service. Progress in the control of health through this line of research. Dr. Sherman states, is by no means complete and further remarkable results may be expected for the future. "It was not very long ago," he says, "that a large part of medical practice consisted in putting drugs, of which the doctors knew little, into the human body, of which they knew less. A vast change, however, has come, and this change is directly dependent upon a fuller knowledge of man and his diseases, and ways in which his diseases can be prevented, developed from the study of animals or from that branch of experimental science known as 'animal experimentation.' The substitution of systematic experiments on animals for haem hazard tests made on man has brought order and new knowledge into the prevention and treatment of disease. Studies made upon animals have revealed the manner in which recovery, through immunization, takes place in the infectious diseases. They have wielded such marynous remedies as diphtheria and anitoxin, such potent preventatives as tetanus antitoxin and vaccines for hydrophilic, typhoid fever, and more recently preventatives of diphtheria and scarlet fever. They have taught us how blood transfusion, often a life Supreme Court, and four others to be appointed by the Governor. The commission would be authorized to recommend to the Governor a new trial or such course as might seem necessary. The impression that justice in the United States is in a hurry to execute anybody or determined to do so should be carefully avoided. This is a case that has never been passed upon, as regards the evidence, by any but one judge, and a case in which after-the-war excitement played a considerable part. An Egyptian tomb near the Giza Pyramids, opened by Vienna scientists, contains the record and memory of a very rich dwarf married to an impoverished princess, thousands of years ago. Our rich princesses marry mental dwarfs, in rich titles. That's the difference, and that Egyptian princess had the better of it. She got something in exchange for her hand, with the long, tapering fingers. Interest yourself in vitamins Dr. H. C. Sherman, learned professor of chemistry, proves that vitamins bring maturity earlier and make it last longer. Vitamins are found in milk, butter, lettuce and all green vegetables, cod liver oil, red wine (barred here), fruits, yeast, etc. In addition to vitamins, mineral salts are absolutely necessary to life. No animal can live without them. Public school education should include information on diet, Mothers especially are interested in vitamins. Experiments with animals show vitamins influence the number of the young and successful rearing after birth. There is much prosperity In this country and, fortunately for us, it is not all based on "natural resources"—oll iron, coal, forests, good soil, etc. Most of it comes from inside the national skull. Sir Ernest Benn observes that American prosperity is in many cases, five per cent natural resources, ninety-five per cent work intelligently organized. If natural resources alone counted, "Brazil, Liberia and Iceland would be the world's most prosperous countries." Commander Udet, greatest German filter left over from the war, will fly in a gliding plane without any engine from a mountain peak in Bavaria, 2,000 feet high. This means literally tobogganing from the top of a mountain to the valley below on thin air.

In addition to their use in furthering medical science, animals are also being used in advance studies of diet and nutrition, now recognized as of vital importance to health and physical development. Rata and guinea pigs, for instance, are used by the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry in its studies of vitamina. Experiments with these animals conducted by Dr. D.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. THE COLON BACILLUS This microbe is a good first cousin to the typhoid germ, and, like the latter, is capable of doing harm to its host. The attack of the "coli-B" is more insidious, not necessarily marked by fever or acute pain. Within the human colon, which is its natural habitat, the colon bacillus may be of certain benefit to its possessor; in fact, all of us carry it about with us. It is when the germ gets into the blood-stream, that it sets up mischief, often of very serious nature. Most every surgical gall-bladder is thoroughly stocked with colon bacillus, as found by operators. Many cases of slow, progressive, rebellious arthritis are caused by colonies of coli-B, carried into the joints by the blood-stream. The colon bacillus generally escapes from the colon through an ulcer of the colon or rectum; hence any patient with hemorrhoids, or bleeding with the bowel evacuations, should have the condition attended to at once, before a more general infection takes place. I have seen kidneys destroyed, and serious bladder troubles set up, where the colon bacillus was the only infecting germ that could be found; and such patients usually had a chronic rectum, endured for a number of years without medical attention. There is no reason why our people should not be educated in the matter of prevalent disease-germs; and, the colon bacillus is always with us, Useful, perhaps, if in its proper sphere, but extremely usly when in the joints, gall-bladder, kidneys or appendix. Every precaution should be preserved to keep it where it belongs. (Next week—Misleading) d Guinea Pigs Help merely the vitamin value of different foods but the effects on vitamins of various food ingredients and of the various processes of food preservation. The effects on the vitamins of various food ingredients and combinations, and also of preservatives such as benzoate of soda in ketchups and condiments, alum in baking powder and pickles, and sulphur dioxide in fruit juices and dried fruits, are regarded by scientists and dietitians as some of the important fields yet to be studied. Such vitamin studies, in fact, were recommended by Dr. Dalesley Browne, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, as essential to the future protection of our food supplies. In addition, experts in the government food laboratory reports that traces of metallic salts, such as those of copper, aluminum, iron, et cetera, are indicated as likely to be destructive to the vitamins. Alum, as an astringent salt of aluminum, they state, is indicated as probably harmful to Vitamin A, which is essential to normal growth and health. Vitamin B. prevalent in vegetables, is injured by the addition of soda to the water when cooking. While nutrition and dietetic experts continue the use of animals in their studies to identify ingredients and combinations harmful to the vitamins and therefore to health, Dr. Flexner and his associates will hand their research toward finding cures for alliments that proper diet and exercise might prevent. Only by such continuing experimentation, Dr. Flexner de clares, can future progress in the whole field of human health be best promoted. "The possibilities ahead of us he states, "avail to vest that one can only speculate on their extent. No one can calculate the benefits that will follow, in ever-increasing measure, from investigations now in progress." Long Distance Motor Champ After Million Mile Record HOME LIFE ON THE ROAD Mr. and Mrs. Snell in camp TRAIL RIDERS OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES TRAIL RIDERS BILL POTTS AND COL. PHIL MOORE THE PASS WICHITA, Kas. — America can lay claim to the champion of automobile globe trotters. Robert Snell, retired wholesale druggist of New York city, and his wife have driven approximately 574,000 miles in their automobiles during the last eight years and Mr. Snell announces that he intends to run the speedometer count up to 1,000,000 miles before he stops. "Improvements in motor cars, in camping equipment, in good roads, and in tourist camps have made life on the "toad second only to railroad Pullman service," Mr. Snell said when his party passed through here en TRAIL RIDER ALPINE CLIMBERS CAMP M.T. ASSINIBOINE Trail Riders, two words which conjure in one's mind the spirit of romance and adventure. Who does not enjoy following old trails—especially Indian trails? Who has not, even in childhood days, reveled in running along a tiny path, wondering what the next turn would bring. Canadian Rockies with enjoy along new delight the expectancy they felt as children following some small, unexpected path through woods. This group of trail riders are lovers of the great open spaces, of mountain passes over which they go, of silent nights and crackling fire in the open and the creeping tree of those in nature. The Trail Riders this summer will go to Mount Assiniboine, a six-day trip from Bann, in the Canadian Rockies. The route taken will be up the wild canyon of Brewster Creek, along an old trail, with a "ring-song" each night round the camp fire. The first night's camp will be near the glacier at the head of this creek. The second day's ride will be by way of Allenby Creek over Assiniboine A route to California. "We have a Coleman gasoline pressure camp stove and even that enable Mrs. Snell to prepare roasts, plies, biscuits, and other home delicacies as only she can perpare them. "Our sleeping equipment, protection for all emergencies, furnishes us with beds as soft and downy as any Pullman, while our gasoline-pressure lantern gives us an abundance of light to read and eat by when darkness comes.
