WILLIAMS NAMED ON MEMORIAL COMMISSION (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Oct. 21.—Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention, and pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church of this city, was named on the National Memorial Commission, by President Herbert Hoover, last week. Dr. Williams received his certificate of membership Wednesday morning. The duties of this commission are: to select a site for the memorial building, secure designs and plans, to formulate program for the financial campaign and to supervise the erection and management of the building. The National Memorial Building will depict the contributions the Negro race has made toward the development of the United States and the soldiers who are played in defending the country. Congress has appropriated $50,000 toward the project contingent upon the raising of $500,000 from other sources. It is also estimated that a sum of $2,000,000 will be necessary to erect and maintain the building. Other members of the commission are: F. D. Lee, president; Dr. John R. Hawkins, treasurer; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, rev. J. R. Ransom, Attorney Webster L. Porter, rev. H. Paul Williams, architect; W. G. Pearson, and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune. Last spring, the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity appointed a special committee to meet the Richmond Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance with a view to having a joint meeting of the two bodies at least once a month to consider civic matters in reference to our people here. On last Monday a similar committee from the Alameda Conference and ways and means are now being considered to effect the purpose of the joint meeting. This is a capital idea. (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., Oct. 21.—Will Gilmore, administrator of the estate of his son, William Gilmore, who was shot and killed in September during a chase to capture two alleged robbers, filed suit Tuesday in the Circuit Court against Patrolman Anderson Smith and his surety, the Union Identity Company, for $5,000 damages. The petition alleges that Smith fired at Gilmore after the latter failed to heed his command to halt at Sixth Street and away. The petition further alleges that the slain man at the time of his death was attempting to aid a crowd to capture two alleged robbers. MR. RAGLAND HONORED Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 21.—B. W.

TWO SLASHED IN RIOT IN A CHICAGO CHURCH Negro Baptists, Flash Razors as Ousted Member Sean Reagan season of Hip Hop, Hip Hop (Special to The New York Times) Chicago, Oct. 20.—Two negroes were perhaps fatally slashed and twenty others, and women, were cut and bruised when 400 members of the Mount Zion Baptist Church, colored, Evanston, rioted this afternoon. Thirty police reserves from the Evanston police station hurried to the church to quell the riot and sixty members of the congregation were seized and taken to the station for questioning. The cause of the riot was traced by the police to G. W. Gibson, 45 years old, former member of the church, who was ousted from the congregation last year by the majority of the members when he charged the election of the pastor, the Rev. G. A. Long, was "crooked." Simon Matthews, 65 years old, deacon of the church, made his way through the crowd to Gibson's side and told him to be seated. Gibson is alleged to have struck the aged deacon in the face, felling him. Gibson's few supporters rallied around him when the angry members of the congregation sought to reach the Razor. Razor, flashed and a government fight ensued. The two most seriously hurt were adherents of Gibson. Samuel Sanders, of Evanston, a former deacon of the church, who was ousted at the time Gibson was forced out, was slashed across the throat. Alonzo Heard suffered a razor cut in the head and was seriously bruised. L. J. Hayden's remedies continue to attract attention on account of their wonderful curative powers. Those Indian Herb Remedies are now recognized to be standard. If there anything you do to help you drove 824 W. Broad Street and tell him your troubles. You will be glad that we told you to do. INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS ENDORSE FRATERNAL FEDERATION PLAN Fraternal Leaders to Gather at Capitol, October 30th. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Oct.-More than one hundred leaders of Negro fraternal organizations will assemble here Wednesday, October 30th, to discuss and possibly effect what will be a Federation of Negro Fraternal Organizations, according to R. McCants Andrew, Durham attorney, and leader in the movement. The origin of the movement dates from a conference with the North Carolina Commission, Commissioner, Dan C. Boney, during the past spring, following which conferences were held with other insurance commissioners in different parts of the country. The proposed organization will not attempt to merge the identity of organizations now operating, but is to be a clearing house of ideas which will follow the standard lines of the National Fraternal Congress, promoting the adoption of adequate rates for the various member organizations of the federation. Commissioners Endorse Plans Nine insurance commissioners have offered unqualified support and endorsement to the project and have offered to co-operate in whatever way possible to effect the plans as laid before them.

IS FREED; IL AFTER BATTLE. New York, Oct. 18—Ben Bess, South Carolina colored farmer, has left prison and is a free man, after having served fourteen years of a thirty-year prison term on the perjured testimony of a white woman. N. J. Frederick and A. L. King, attorneys, assisted legally and financially by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, carried the court of South Carolina, which, in En Banc session this week handed down an opinion in favor of Ben Bess, reversing the decree of the circuit judge. A legal for a arose over the revocation of a pardon which Governor Richard issued when the white woman signed an affidavit repudiating the testimony on which Bess had been convicted. After Bess had been pardoned and released, the woman made a second affidavit stating that her intention had been to "forgive" Ben Bess, not to declare him innocent. Thereupon the Governor revoked the pardon he had issued and Bess was again imprisoned. Habeas corpus proceedings were instituted by Mr. Frederick, who contended that a pardon once issued could not be revoked. When Judge Townsend held that the pardon had been secured through fraud, appeal which ordered the Supreme Court taken which ordered Bess released. On Tuesday, Bess walked out of prison, a free man. Before his original conviction, Ben Bess narrowly escaped lynching. The N. A. A. C. P. points out that the final liberation and vindication of this innocent man dramatically demonstrates the inability of lynching mobs to determine questions of fact. the pioneer colored pharmacist, Dr. Geo.

There was a time when slavery was widespread, and slaves almost helpless. Now the Emancipation Proclamation is world-wide in scope. There are no longer slaves except those of bad habits.

And the patient workers who survived the rowdy Babylonians dis appeared from the face of the earth and the Jews are to-day a notable people. Politics is the finest piece of sentiment in human affairs, and the worst roguyet. Every politician is too great a friend of humanity when a candidate, and too great an enemy when elected, in attempts to carry out promises he knew in the first place were ridiculous. This is in the very nature of things, and I know of no remedy, except endeavor to improve the intelligence of voters. With voters as they are, there is no other way for politicians to operate than as they do.

Every man who earns a fortune under rules men have agreed upon, is entitled to not only respect, but to distinction. But I am not so certain as to his heirs, who, early in life, come into a fortune they have not earned. In many business institutions there are young idlers who receive more pay than other employees who succeed or fail on merit. Such young men cause dissensions hurtful to the business, and I observe that quently in the best establishments, the sons of owners are compelled to take pot luck with their others, to put on overalls, and fight grease with those the lower ranks, while the best offices are occupied by women who have honestly earned distinction. LADIES WILL BE DELIGHTED. the unfortunate This should be the rule everywhere and in everything; I do not know how it is to be brought about but it is best that everyone be compelled to carn his way up, or stay down: I am convinced it would be better in human society if this rule could be adopted: No work, no dinner. Everyone is better off for earning his own way; it makes him fairer, broader, easier to get along with. Statesmen are trying to steal the big fortunes for public use, at the death of their legitimate owners. It may be a good idea. In one small town thirty-three rich widows, not one of whom has ever legitimately earned a penny, were counted. In some ways it is right; in more ways it is wrong. Let the people vote on it.

Brown, the Anti-Smith Democrat, may not get inside of the gubernatorial mansion, but he will get so close to it as to be able to tell how many door-ways and steps there are on the inside. President Herbert Hoover has ignored the recommendations of his own State Republican "Lily white" machine in Florida and named others as Federal appointees. The "cussing" can be heard way up here in Virginia. If Commander Byrd at the South Pole hears any strange sounds that he cannot exactly understand, it emites from these Florida politicians expressing their opinion of President Hoover. It will be seen that the distinguished "Man of God" was going one way and the leaders of his flock another. It shows too the power and influence of the Bishop James Cannon's leadership. Although on the ocean, he is able to marshal his political forces with astounding regularity. Evidently most of the members of the Virginia Conference were either at the City Auditorium and heard Candidate William Moseley Brown speak there or listened in to his utterances over radio. A REMARKABLE CASE The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is scoring heavily in practically every case it has seen fit to back with its legal staff, influence and finance. The case of Ben. Bess, reported from Columbia, South Carolina, is without a precedent, so far as we know within the legal annals of this country. Having been convicted of an assault upon a white woman and having served thirteen years of the thirty years' sentence, upon the affidavit from the white woman saying he was not guilty of the crime, he was pardoned by Governor Richards. Some one got her to repudiate the confession after Ben Bess had been released from the penitentiary and Governor Richards, revoked the pardon or attempted so to do, Bess being reincarcerated in prison. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of South Carolina and the court ruled that a pardon once granted cannot be revoked, even though fraud in its issuance be shown. Bess has been released. Whether he will remain in South Carolina is a question for him to consider. Most people, who know South Carolina and its lawless elements would be on the move in an effort to reach the North Pole, if they could get that far in safety. MR. FUNSTEN'S INTEREST Hon. O. Herbert Funsten's letter of recent date contains much food for thought. He is one of our most liberal and progressive white citizens and he has shown a most humane and charitable interest in our people. We suggest that Mr. Wm. A. Jordan and his associates, the Baptist Minister's' Conference of Richmond and vicinity, the Rev. W. L. Ransome, D. D., president; the Richmond Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance, Rev. R. M. Williams, D. D., president, take the matter up with this distinguished Virginian with a view to advising him upon civic improvements that need immediate attention. The securing of that independent unit of the traffic light system at Second and Leigh Streets is proving to be of untold benefit to this section and will no doubt save lives and prevent casualties. On the part of our people, we thank Mr. Funsten and the Department of Public Utilities for this recognition of the part of the city closely populated by our people. BISHOP DENNY AND HIS SHEPHERDS Bishop Collins Denny, presiding bishop over the Virginia Methodist Conference, is bitterly opposed to the ministers and church engaging in politics. His ringing denunciation of the practice must still have been reverberating in the ears of the preachers, when on Saturday morning, the brilliant Fred R. Chenault, D. D., pastor of the Broad Street Methodist Church, South, and chairman of the committee on temperance and social service, made a report. The Times-Dispatch reporter says as follows: "It is not a question of the big stick. It is a question of mental and moral evolution. If a man doesn't keep the laws of this country, whatever his opinion of these laws, he is an anarchist." The only objection to the report was from Dr. Robert Emory Blackwell, president of Randolph-Macon College, who declared: "All arguments that have been heard are on grounds that we must obey the law. I would like to see it put in a little more of a Christian way. To obey the law of the land is not all of Christian duty. We are up against a very difficult proposition. I hope the church will get a more effective appeal than I have heard on the subject. It must be done by persuasion—the gaining of respect and obedience for the prohibition law." He said that many of our wealthiest, and most influential citizens feel that this law takes away an inalienable right. "We won't get anywhere by venting yourself in anger against these people. It isn't a slum question. It is always going to be obeyed by some class of people. What I want to do is to try to gain the support of the influential people by persuasion and example. I am not speaking against the report, but would like to see it presented in some other way." Indorsement of President Hoover was similar to a resolution passed over the objection of Bishop Denny at the Richmond District Conference of the church last June. At this time the Richmond bishop delivered his first address against the church in politics. Since in Maryland and Virginia he has amplified his contention that participation in politics is ruining the spiritual influence of the clergy. The original resolution was passed after Bishop James Cannon, Jr., now en route to preside over Brazilian congresses of success and made a speech, urging indorsement of Hoover and organizations which direct the propaganda favoring prohibition and the Washington lobby seeking stricter enforcement. The Chenault report of less than two thousand words declared that a spirit of lawlessness is one of the nation's most gigantic evils. "The conspicuous instance of lawlessness now before us is the widespread defiance of the eighteenth amendment." The nation's capital, the report continues, "is a striking illustration of this fact. It is reported men in prominent places openly at banquets and men highly respected make sport of the law; that women in select social circles serve liquor at their dinner; and that prominent men make a joke at the success of their bootleggers. Some "Christian laymen are to be found in this guzzling company and some preachers who now and then venture to take their place upon that side. . . ." In view of the "well-organized and highly financed movement on the part of the wet forces and their apparent success in some States, it is expedient that the Christian people should bestir themselves as never before", the report states, "and it is no time to quibble, compromise or turn back. Having put her hand to the plow, she will continue to go forward to do the Master's will and to establish His Kingdom among men."

VIRGINIA COTTON REPORT The Virginia cotton crop declined during September owing to unfavorable weather conditions and the October 1st forecast of the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service of 46,000 bales is 2,000 bales below the September estimate but is still 2,000 bales over last year's production. The hot, dry weather the early part of the month caused shedding of bolls. The boll weevil has appeared in larger numbers than usual and in most of the Southern section of the cotton territory the weevil will cause considerable loss this season. Very little cotton had been picked prior to October 1st, and the ginning report showed less than 400 bales, compared with 900 bales ginned to the same date last year.

Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 21.—Home Coming Day at Knoxville College this year will be next Saturday, October 26th. Elaborate plans have been made to entertain the largest crowd of alumni, former students, and friends ever to return to Knoxville. The general program for the day includes special chapel exercises at 9 o'clock, meeting of the Alumni As- sociation room, clock, reunions at room, football game with Bluefield in the afternoon, and the Annual Home Coming Banquet at 6:30 in the evening. Under the direction of William Jenkins, president of the Alumni Association, arrangements are being completed to make the Fourth Annual affair the greatest in the history of Knoxville. Alumni are expected from Chicago, Detroit, New York and other distant places and hundreds will drive back to their old Alma Mater to express their love and devotion. big attraction of the day, of course, is the game between the Fighting Bulldogs and the Big Buses. Bluefield has not lost a game in three years and the Knoxville boys have a fighting team which might turn the trick and upset the West Virginians from the top of the ladder. Rev. John Brice, of Palmer Institute, Sedalia, N. C., a Knoxville graduate, will deliver the chief address at the Annual Home Cooking Banquet following the game. Other speakers will include Coach Jefferson, Bluefield, and Coach Hawkins of Knoxville, as well as several representatives. Knoxville Home Comings have been growing in popularity each year and with the program of entertainment which is being offered by the committee this year, a most enjoyable and memorable week-end is looked forward to.

(Herbert Photos, New York.) Heart to Heart Gallk By Dr. John Joseph Daines My portrait of Col. Charles Lindbergh, hanging on the wall, looks at me very earnestly this morning. I think, with a sort of urge in the calm features, to be careful what I say. The daily newspaper has grown to be my very dependable friend; I find much that is comforting, edifying, even inspiring; but it calls Col. Lindbergh "Lindy." And, it keeps that up with a persistence that is benumbing! I wonder if newspapers in that day called President Washington "Washy?" Or Lincoln "Linky?" I believe they did not. They ignored rag-pickers' lingo, bowyer slush, cottonfield ninnyisms. To apply "Smitty" to a hero of the comic strip is permissible; but to refer to a great American hero as "Lindy" is unworthy of American Journalism. Maybe great western newspapers indulge this silly piece of business with the idea that it is an endearing term. I can imagine Jones's wife calling him "Jonesey," or Brown's partner saying "Browney," but it hardly goes in refined society. "Lindy" is to me, a slap in the face of intelligent Americans; Lindbergh does not need this sort of mushing sentiment. "Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh" is a name at once inspiring of which America is proud. Baby-talk is all right in its place—for babies. It is perfectly, all right and proper in the park, when the moon is waning—to one's own umpsy-dumpsy. But for the great American headline it is too cheap, shallow—it's becoming idiotic American Journalism has outgrown alley-rat parlance! it should pause and take a good look at itself in the mirror of public opinion. There is always a possibility that I am wrong; it may be that; chopping off three letters of a name, saves several thousand dollars annually to the linotype—I hadn't figured that—printing "Lindy" a million times!

"The Salt of the Earth" Sunday School Lesson International Sunday School Lesson for November 3 RESPECT FOR RIGHTFUL AUTHORITY Mark 12:13-17; Romans 13:1-14; I Peter 2:13-17 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. World's Temperance Sunday is the Sunday just before Election Day and was fixed at that time in order that further information on this moral issue might have an effect in casting votes. All reforms come after a long process of teaching. The world became free from slavery by just such a process. The topic that are followed during this quarter show how practical is the Bible. Religion, to be effective, must deal with the everyday affairs in which we live. The setting for the selection from Mark is a thrilling one, and just the kind that a novelist can make much of. Jesus was teaching in Jerusalem and His work was almost over. He was probably the most hated man in the community. Many also hated each other, but their feeling against Jesus was so great that they forget their differences in order to make common cause against Him. Thus the Pharisees and Herodians pooled their interests in trying to entrap the Teacher with catch questions. The one which they thought would "get" him was about paying tribute to the Roman government. The answer was by means of an illustration as He asked for a denarius. All eyes were on Him and the coin as He held it up and inquired "Whose image?" The reply turned the laugh on the hecklers: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." The Bible stands for the full recognition of the authority of the government. Since constant benefits come from Caesar it is in order to pay their share of the tax which makes these advantages possible. Paul and Peter give the same principles in their writings. Paul's life was saved when he declared "I appeal unto Caesar." No government can be maintained when the citizens do as they please about obeying the laws of that land, or decide which ones they will accept. Crime is a serious cost to taxpayers. Even slight study will reveal that those who "render unto God the things that are God's" are the least expense to the state. Law-breakers are the most expensive citizens. Some day the community as a whole will refuse to pay the charges of those who deliberately break the law. Law does not make lawlessness, it merely obliterates. The chemist labels alcohol as a poison. The public knows it as a producer of crime. It is very costly in dollars, morals and life itself. The best way of reaching the solution, aside from maintaining and enforcing the existing laws, is to be more active in the teaching process that the growing youth in every generation may learn the facts early and let alcohol alone, as they would avoid any other poison.

His Majesty the American citizen need cast no envious glances at ancient Persian Shaahs or any of the great Kahns of China, for the glory of floor coverings that once was the boast of Orientals is now available in American reproductions, Walter E.

"Whether it's one of the famous prayer rugs of the Persians, or the Chinese floral, it soon will be reproduced in this country. By a recently perfected process of manufacture, the American Oriental plant of the Olson Rug Company is able to weave rugs and carpete that closely resemble in texture and duplicate in de- sign the favorites of the museum courts. "Color was a stumbling block in the path of making American rug Persian in quality for a long time, but the 'lost' shades are fast becoming the great American myth and, with the dye equipment of the great plants, even a practical method of manufacturing the Tyrian purple will be found." The rug shown above is an ancient Persian vase carpet that hangs in the South Kensington Museum in London, England. It is worn from the feet of the Shahs. It is one of the most perfect examples of pure Persian design in existence today and is reproduced exactly on American looms. | | >} fPagazine Page Ie | Pa een RA AS Aes 4 ill ce: Ee A : AT fe ees VEE MA ARE la i fy ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE WN ZANTELUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY Pec Enstalment (anne Sanh ane “eaven| he at was reat wih dri or at ae “The geme fs this,” announced Mrs. Clary.

But, I feel that it has never been given sufficient cred- it in the way of world history. How many of you realize, I wonder, the part that beauty culture played in Columbus’ voyage of discovery? Straight through the middle of the fifteenth century, beauty was in its heydey, The demand for perfumes, cosmetics and Leauty aids was tre- mendous, The home of these drugs was India, considered very far off at the time. Pirates were then dotting high seas, particularly on the route to India, and: for many nations it was a precarious matter to pursue the trades. Of course Columbus had no ider of the vast worlds that he was to uncover, but he did want to find a shorter and safer route to India so that the drugs and spices so necessary to human life at. that time could be more easily acquired. © — It is already a part of history that Columbus received very iitle sym- pathy from the men he approached. tt should be enlightening that Isa- belle, Queen of Spain, was the first to appreciate the desire of this truly great man.

One regrettable feature of the old-style tubes has always been their fragility. If you have ever examined them carefully sou have doubrless found the almost invis- ible wires arranged much like those in an electric light oulb—a construc- tion so delicate that a very slight jar could cause damage to the tiny ‘elements attached to the two-pillar center brace. ‘Now the screen grid tube made by ene company has met this dficulty by using a four-pillar tube with, the ¥ supporting wires anchored at the top by a stiff pales pare This holds the elements rigidly in place, 0 that they cannot be distorted by the jolts and jars of shipment or by necessary handling.
