MISER Dies Leaving Several THOUSAND DOLLARS White Man's Love For Colored Woman Ends In Killing Kill former Richmonder, N.Y. Policy King CHARMING VARSITY CLUB HOSTESS JOHNSON Mrs. A. D.

Maybe—she's why so many tickets are being sold Aged Woman Lived In Poverty Amassed Fair Fortune In Cash Miss Martha, Jane Cephas, 54, 2018 Q Street, was round dead in her home on saturation morning last. Miss Cephas, who was coached a miser, during her late-time had amassed a small fortune, which she had secreted, wrapped in rags and papers, together with nails and buttons, in nooks and corners or the buildings on her estate. Living as she did, on the bare necessities necessary to sustain the going about in a ragged and almost primitive condition, is small wonder that she and amassed a fortune. She was the oldest depositor of the old First National Bank, now the First and Phantoms National Bank, and one of its first depositors, having deposited two thousand dollars in that institution in 1870, and when it is on deposit there to this day. Money found on the premises was estimated by those who are in charge or the property at seven hundred dollars or more, and by those living nearby, and who were "eye witnesses" to the discovery of the "little young munt" estate the amount round as being between twenty and forty thousand dollars. They state that so large was the amount or money round in gold, silver and copper coins that a keg had to be requested to accommodate it, and a large bag, 15 or 20 inches deep, was used in which to start the paper money which was in bills of various denominations. We interviewed Mr. K. L. Figg, who we had been informed, was in charge or the dead woman's affairs and he informed us that money four on the premises, and which had been turned over to the court, was in the neighborhood of seven hundred collars. Mr. Figg statue that he had seen to it that she had a decent burial, and that by the man whom she had requested as undertaker before her death. Miss Cephas was indeed, a peculiar character; her home was completely unveil or furniture save for one chair and an old antique safe (kitchen) which is probably a hundred years old. She never conformed to modern life and customs of this day, sleeping on a chair in the hall or her home, which she had occupied since the passing of the "segregation ordinance," without any visible means for nectaring it, and in which she had never had the gas or water turned on. Old clothes, mattresses, and various small articles of every description was to be found on the primaries. She had occupied these premises since they were vacated by Mr. Figg, whose family had previously occupied the premises for thirty-five years; according to a statement made by Mr. Figg, to this writer. We are also informed that she had an acute aversion to those of her own group, most of her intimates being white people. She is reputed to have The Committee on Negro Housing conditions, or which Mr. Mason Mangum is secretary, is continuing their investigation into local housing conditions attending our group. The committee met at 1 p. m. on Monday last, and so Mr. Mangum informed the Planet on Thursday, another meeting will be held on this Friday, April 2, at 1 p. m., and at which time the committee will make a tour or inspection, carrying with it Mayor Bridget Colonel Compton, and several other city officials. Asked if the committee had taken any action as its last meeting, Mr. Mangum stated that it had not, adding further that there would be held probably twenty meetings before the committee would take final action in the matter. Mr. Mangum stated that before final action was taken by the committee, some of the leading colored people of the city would be called in to discuss the matter with the committee. The PLANET will keep you posted as to the status of this project, and all other local projects of interest to the intelligent reading pubic.

THE RICHMOND PLANET AMERICA'S OLDEST ★ COLORED WEEKLY ★ National Representative, W. B. ZIFF CO. 608 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. MITCHELL GROUP NEWSPAPERS VOL. XLVIII. No. 21 RICHMOND. VA., SATURDAY. APRIL 5. 1931 Caliver Speaks April 17 D. A. R. Segregates Hold 4 Persons Colored People In D.C. Concert In Case New York, March 27. The D. A. R. (Daughters of the American Revolution) were responsible for the segregation of Negroes at the concert given Saturday night, March 22, in Constitution Hall, Washington, D. C., by the Hampton Institute Choir, according to information reaching the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Negroes were permitted to purchase seats only in two corners with the result that the hall was two-thirds empty. The Washington Daily News of the Scrubs-howard chain, which always champions the Daily News o f two ways champions the cause of fair treatment to minority groups, published an editorial charging that the D. A. R. "sawed a coupe face" in arraining this concert. The concert, ironically enough, was for the benefit of the National Memorial Association, which is seeking to bound in Washington a memorial to the achievements of Negroes, Says the Daily News editorial: "The D. A. K. management ruled that only two blocks or seats, those on corners of tiers might be sold to colored people. After these were disposed or, hundreds of colored people were turned away with information that the seats were sold out. "It being a Saturday night concert, the turn-out of Washington's regular concertgoers was small, altho the boxes were well filled, consequently the hall was two-thirds empty. The seats assigned to colored people were packed; beside them were empty blocks. Here and there seats sold personally by members of the Memorial Association. "The choir that has sung in the music centers of Europe, that sang by invitation in Westminster Abby, that was entertained at a formal tea in Berlin by Ambassador Frederick Sackett, a Kentuckian; that choir sang to empty seats because only 200 of its own people were admitted to come into the D, A, E's Hall and hear it." WHITE THEOLOGS FACE ISSUE OF RACE RELATIONS Atlanta, Ga., March 30- Fifty White ministerial students from various Southern theological schools, in annual meeting here last week at Emory University, featured race relations as one of their principal topics and voted without dissent to make next year's conference interracial. The principal race relations address was delivered by Dr. W. Y. Bell, of Gammon Theological Seminary, who was heard with great interest and made a very fine impression. Following Dr. Bell's address a forum hour was conducted by Dr. Will W. Alexander, director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, during which three was general discussion and free questioning as to matters about which any were in doubt. R. B. Elzer, of the Commission's staff, then spoke briefly and the conference in another period of open discussion. Later, when plans were being made for next year's conference, the question was raised as to whether the Negro theological seminaries should be invited to participate. The question was left entirely to the students, who, after free discussion, none of it unfavorable, voted unanimously to extend the invitation. Fincastle, Va.—(CNS)—The love of a white man for a colored woman, and the murder of the former, has thrown this section into one of the most sensational scandals in many years. Four persons, two men, George Clark 29, Irving Pierce, 19, Mrs. Rene Clark, mother of George, and Mrs. Helen McDaniel, 29, were held here last Saturday in connection with the murder of Ned Cox, white whose body was found in the James River. Bototetown County officials believe the man was beaten to death and then hurled into the river to cover up the crime. Clark and Pierce admitted to following Cox into the former's car and assaulting him at the junction of Jackson and Cow pasture rivers, where the form the James river, last Sunday night. The women have not admitted any connection with the crime. Pierce, under three hours questioning, told the officers that after Clark cropped a disturbance at the Clark home, trying to break in a door, Clark left. A short time later Clark came home and was told of the incident. He and Clark set out after Cox, overtook him, beat him, and left him lying in a ditch beside of the road. Pierce said Clark threatened to kill him if he ever told. The officers declare Pierce said Clark took him back back to Mrs. Clark and left him there with Mrs. McDaniel while George and Mrs. Clark drove back down the road "to take Cox home," they told him. Officers believe Cox was dropped into the James river on this second trip. According to Pierce, Clark was jealous of Cox's attention to Mrs. McDaniel. He had warned him several times to keep away from her, Mrs. McDaniel was to have married Clark when she got a divorce from her husband when she has been separated from thirteen years. Finger prints showed traces of blood on the door of Clark' car.

To Present Educator Dr. Ambrose Caliver, Specialist in Negro Education, United States Office of Education, Washington, D. C. will speak here April 14, at 8:15 p. m. at the Armstrong High School Auditorium. This meeting is being fostered by the Kennedm Teachers' Association as a part of its series of interesting monthly meetings which it was arranged for this spring. Because of the national prominence or Dr. Caliver, the public is invited to hear him. His address will be of significance not only to teachers, but to the community as well. Dr. Caliver is a rare scholar, being the first Negro to graduate with the doctor's degree by majoring in the field of educational administration, Dr. Caliver received his Ph. D. degree from Teachers College, Columbia University. His earlier education was at the University of Wisconsin. He Was for years dean of Fisk University. The position of specialist in Negro Education is an important one in the newly organized plan of administration the U. S. Office of Education under the direction of Secretary of Interior, Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Dr. Calver is consultant on all problems effecting the education of the Negro in this country and has charge of the various studies which the government is now making in order to ascertain the facts regarding the status of Negro education.

WOMAN SUSPENDED TEN HOURS Nasville, Tenn., March — (CNS) — Brutal treatment of women workers in the state prison here, especially of Negro women, is admitted by the committee of penal institutes of the state general assembly. The women are being handcuffed and hung from pegs on the wall for resenting the treatment given to them at the state prison at Brushy Mountain. One woman told the committee that she had been suspended by the arms from a peg for ten hours. In addition to these horrors, prisoners are contracted out to private concerns or worked on the public roads. The government is not anxious to point a finger of scorn at this human treatment and forced labor as it is to deport militant foreign born workers and smash the unity of all workers and severely oppress the Negro toilers. CARTER WOODSON -O BE FISK COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER Nashville, Tennessee, March 28th, 1931—It has been announced that Carter G. Woodson, the director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, will be the Commencement speaker at Fisk University this year. That Dr. Woodson has something to say regarding the higher education of Negro youth has been evidenced by his recent articles concerning present day educational methods in Negro schools and colleges. Carter Woodson was one of the first to realize the importance of gathering and interpreting historical data concerning the participation and contribution of the Negro in past events. His organization and its publication "The Journal of Negro History," of which he is the editor, are pledged to the task of promoting the study of Negro life and history. He is the author of several volumes of Negro history. His latest books are "The Rural Negro" and "he Negro Wage Earner." Dr. Woodson received his A, B, and M. A. degrees from the Uuniversity of Chicago and his Ph. D. from Harvard. Bumped Off After He Had "Squealed" On Two Cops Miss Price Wins For Third Time In Four Weeks Miss M. V. Price, our representative of 710 N. 1st Street won last week in our representatives' contest by selling six-hundred Planes through her newies. This contest ran for the four weeks during March and Miss Price won for three weeks out of the four, the others being won by Mrs. Pearl C. Johnson of 410 E. Leigh. Those who know Miss Price best are not surprises at he continuous winwin, She is possibly one of the most determined salespeople in Richmond, adn takes delight in telling friends and acquaintances that she got her first lessons from Mr. S. P. B. Steward for whom she sold tea as her first venture. She proudly exhibits a chiffonier, a fifty-six piece dinner set, a silver set and other things which she received from him as premiums, more than twenty years ago. Like the man she insistently claims as her teacher, she has that indomitable will power and determination, which are more necessary to success than special privilege. She simply determines to do that which she attempts. She has been able to impress this spirit on her forty odd newsies, who range in age run six to— years, and who sell from one to seventy-five Planets. Her greatest assistance was endered by her friend, Mrs. Emma Gibson of 41st West Duval Street, who with her daughter, Lucille, sold more than one-hundred Planets for Miss Price last week. Mrs. Gibson is the wife of Rev. Henry Gibson, local minister of Third Street A. M. E. Church, To benefit them who helped her, Miss Price received and distributed forty-two Idlewood pies. Those who sold twenty-five o rmore were, Harris Jefferson, 706 N. First Street, Junius Green, 106 Hickery; Lucille Gibson, 418 W. Duval; John Marshall, 710 N. First Street; Manie Cross, Ptg. Pike; Ruby Thompson, 710 N. First Street. The well stocked confectionery she has at this number, attests her ability in business, she having bought the property and paid for it by close attention to her own business here. The winning smile sunken, is not an affected one. It is natural and shows her as the lovable friend and neighbor she is. That this word picture is not overdrawn, is vouchered for by her neighbors, Dr. E. R. Jefferson, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Miller, and Mr. and Mrs. James Milton, permitting the Planet to use their names in speaking of the estimable qualities of Miss M. V. Price. From the standpoint of pay, Miss Price without leaving her home last week, earned as much from the Planet, as some women who went out two or three days, while her newies earned twelve dollars ($12) of cash for themselves. What Miss Price has done, other women may do by addressing the circulation manager of the Planet. VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY TO PRESENT THE HOWARD UNI- VERSITY PLAYERS Virginia Union a member of Negro Intercollegiate Dramatic Association By Rupert Picott Richmond, Va.—On Friday evening, Union University will present the Howard University players in three highly interesting one-act plays: "Ile" by Eugene O'Neill, "The Rider of Dreams—a Negro play by Ridgeley Torrance, and "A Night at an Inn" by Lord Dunsany. This presentation will not only be Howard University's premiere appearance in this city, but it will also be the first appearance of the Negro Intercollegiate Dramatic Association in Richmond, his Association, an organization which aims to do for dramatics what the C. I. A. A. has done for athletics, is composed of the following schools, Union, Hampton, Virginia State, and Morgan. The schedule of he Association thus far far has been Union at Morgan College; Va, State at Hampton, Morgan at Va, State, and now, Howard at Union. The Howard pliers have an interesting behind them. Under the tutelage of Montgomery Gregory, Howard was one of the first Negro seghools to organize a Little Theatre Group and to emphasize drama of Negro life. The work so ably begun under Prof. Gregory is now being carried on under the direction of Prof. Sterling Brown, well known poet and critic. Virginia Union University is looking forward to a most interesting evening when the Howard Thespians are presented. The dramatics at Virginia Union are under the able direction of Prof. Arthur P. Davis. APR 6 1931 STATE LIBRARY LARS Killing King after He Had On Two Cops Life Threatened Several Times NEW VORK, April 1—Investigation of the slaying of Paul Quarles, big shot Harlem policy banker, took a new turn today after it became known that Quarles had been threatened by two ex-police reserves who had been sent to prison on his complaint. The knowledge was made public by Quarles' widow, before whose eyes the policy king was slain last night. The two men, members of the police reserve, but called "stool pigeons" by Mrs. Quarles, had taken several hundred dollars from her husband a little over a year ago on threat of arresting him for prohibition violation, she said. In retaliation for the extortion, she explained, her husband had brought a complaint against the men and they were convicted and sent to jail. When they were freed after serving the sentence, they appeared again and threatened Quarles' life according to his wife. ONCE WEALTHY Although he was broke at the time of his death, Quarles was quite wealthy a few years ago, when he was connected with the policy kings, Casper Holstem, Simeon Francis and Brundin, it was learned today. After his arrest on a policy slip charge he was "frozen" out of the game and has been unable to "connect" with the new lottery—run on the horse races—which has taken the place of the old numbers game and is backed by a different group of men. Quarles knew plenty, it is said in Harlem, and was willing to tell it. Records of his two arrests for assault and another for Volstead law violation were subpoenaed by Judge Scarabey some time ago, along with other Harlem court records. Quarles was returning home just before midnight with his wife, after taking a favorite police dog for his nightly exercise in the park, when two men approached from the rear, placed the muzzle of a gun against his back and fired one shot. Mrs. Quarles, who had been laggag about twenty feet behind her husband, ran screaming to his aid as the killers hurriedly turned the corner and disappeared up St. Nicholas Avenue. A petrolman from the West 123rd Street station reached his side within a few minutes and an ambulance was called. He was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he died a half hour later, having steadfastly refused to tell his wife or police anything that might aid in the capture of his assailants. Paul Quarles was the son of Mrs. L, E. Quarles of 811 N. 3rd St. His sisters are Miner Maude, Grace and Irene Quarles, the family being very well known and respected in Richmond. Wall Street Ben. Club Elects Its Officers Wall Street Ben.

Wall street is doing a great work, but she must continue to push forward, for she has not as yet reached the cux of her usefulness.

Rejoice ye saints, and swell the glad refrain. How to Play BRIDGE Series 1929-30 by Wynne Ferguson PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGE* LE No. 29 How to BRD Series 1929 Wynne Author of *PRACTICAL AU How to Play BRIDGE Series 1929-30 by Wynne Ferguson Author of "PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGE" Copyright, 1929, by Hoyle, Jr. ARTICLE No. 29 "Never lead away from a king" is a fair rule, generally speaking, but sometimes the rule must be broken. As an example, take the following hands: Hand No. 1 Hearts — K, 10 Clubs — K, 7, 6 No score, rubber game. If Z dealt, bid one spade and all passed, what is A's proper opening lead? In this hand, each of the four suits presents good reasons for not leading it. Unfortunately, one suit must be opened, so that one which promises less chance of loss than the others should be A should not lead hearts for, if he does, it will probably cost him a trick. The trump lead would place his partner in the position of having his trumps led through up to the strong hand, and so probably cause the latter to lose a trick. Those two suits, therefore, should be used to avoid unquestionably he by lost so doing. each of the four fact that should bid of three three-heart that he doesn't strength in bid one heart his partner in a position to serve very good with the fore- of spades. The problem is then reduced as to what suits, clubs or diamonds, each containing a king, should be opened. When forced to choose the lead between two suits, each containing a king, choose the shorter suit, in this case clubs. The reason for this choice is that a player with only three cards of a suit stands a smaller chance of having the second or third round of his suit trumped if he had four cards of the suit, and, therefore, a better chance to make his king. In this hand, A's proper opening lead is the four of clubs. The following 'end play' were given in the preceding article. The solutions that are given should only be read after an attempt has first been made to solve by the reader. Answer to Problem No. 23 be monds. Y's ten of diamonds is good. ks If he discards the king of spades, Z's ten of spades is good. Therefore, no matter what card B discards at the first trick, Y Z must win the remaining three tricks. This problem is the simplest kind of end play in which the solution depends entirely on forcing of discards. Problem No. 24 9 —none uds — 7, 8 —8 Hearts — none Y : Clubs — 8 B : Diamonds — K, Q, 9 Z : Spades — none J 20 uds — A, J —none Hearts—3 Clubs—5, 4 Diamonds—none Spades—10 Clubs are trumpets and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z win all of the tricks against any defense? Solution: Trick one: Z should lead the five of clubs. A's discard is im-material. Y should discard the five of diamonds, but what can B discard? If he discards a heart? To be both good, H he discards the king of di- monda, Y's tr If he discards ten of spades matter what first trick, Y Z three tricks. plest kind of solution deeper discards. (Answer to Problem No. 24) Hearts—9 Clubs—none Diamonds—7, 5 Spades—8 Hearts—8 Clubs—none Diamonds—none Spades—K, Q, J Y S-A B Z Hearts—J Clubs—10 Diamonds—A, J Spades—none Cubs are trumps and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z win all of the tricks against any defense? Solution: Trick one; Z should lead the five of clubs. A's discard is imaterial. Y should discard the five of diamonds, the whole of B's discard? If he discards a heart, Y's hearts are both good. If he discards the king of discards. (Answer to Problem No. 24) Hearts — 9 Cubs — none Diamonds — 7, 5 Spades — 8 Hearts — none Cubs — none Diamonds — neap Spades — K, Q, J Hearts — none Cubs — none Diamonds — A, J Spades — none Hearts — none Cubs — none Diamonds — A, J Spades — none therefore, Y Z must win three of the four tricks. If Z should overtrump the queen of diamonds at trick two (a), Y Z would only win two tricks. Z would be forced to lead the jack of hearts, B would trump with the nine of diamonds and lead the king, thus winning two tricks. Also note that the lead of the jack of hearts at trick one is a false solution. B would trump and make at least one more trick with the king of diamonds. Also note that if Y doesn't trump the club at trick one, A B will win two tricks, as Z will be left in the lead and must lead a heart or a diamond, thus giving opponents two tricks. Problem No. 25 - 10, 9 - none - ds - A - A, 6, 3 Answer to Problem No. 25 Hearts — 10, 9 Clubs — none Diamonds — A Spades — A, 6, 3 Hearts — none Clubs — J, 10 Diamonds — 7 Spades — J, 7, 5 : Y : : A B : : Z : Hearts — none Clubs — 9, 7 Diamonds — 10, 9 Spades — K, 2 This forcing of both opponents to discard to their disadvantage is the so-called "double squeeze" and a favorite play by the experts. Note carefully that at trick six, Y should lead the trick because at trick five Z should lead the king. Trick five Z should lead the deuce of spades and Y should play the ace. At trick six, Y's six of spades vins the trick because at trick three both A and B were forced to discard spades to protect their other suits. This end play is as fine an example of the trick because it is simple and forces the discards of both opponents on the same trick. Study it carefully. One tasteless spoonful in water neutralizes many times its volume in acid. The results are immediate with no harmful after-effects. Once you learn this perfect way you'll never deal in any other manner with the headaches, gas, bloating nausea, dizziness, indigestion, biliousness, etc. due to an over-acid stomach and bowels.

PAGE TWO (The Literary Service Bureau) He is not here, but is risen, Luke 24:6 Copyright, 1929, by Hoyle, J: "Never lead away from a king" is a fair rule, generally speaking, but some- times the rule must be broken. As an example, take the following hands: Hand No. 1 Hearts — K, 10 Klush — K, 7, 6 Diamonds — K, 8, 4, 3 Spades — K, 7, 6, 2 Z Hearts — K, 10 Clubs — K, 7, 6 Diamonds — K, 8, 4, 3 Spades — K, 7, 6, 2 No score, rubber game. If Z dealt, bid three hearts and all passed, what is the leading lead? If a kite hand, A has four suits, each of which contains a king, so in this hand, at least, the rule "never lead from a king" must be broken. The question then arises, which of the four suits should A lead? That fact should be determined by the bid of three hearts. If Z has a sound three-heart bid, the chances are that he doesn't hold spades. If he had strength in spades, he should have bid one heart so that if overbid by his partner in spades, he would be in a position to help that bid. For these very good reasons, the proper lead with the forest going hand is the deuce of spades. Hand No. 2 Hearts — A, Q, 6, 2 Clubs — K, 9, 4 Diamonds — K, 7, 5, 3 Spades — 7, 6 Hearts — 6, 5, 2 Clubs — none Diamonds — none Soares — 8 Diamonds are trump and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z win in the four tricks against any defense? Solution: Trick one: Z should lead the tea of clubs and trump in Y's hand with the five of diamonds. Trick two: Y should now lead the eight of spades. B can do one of two things (a) trump with the queen or (b) the nine of diamonds. (a) If B should trump with the queen of diamonds, Z should dislodge the ace jack. (b) If B should trump with the nine of diamonds, Z should overtrump with the jack of diamonds and then make the ace.

METHODISTS CHALLENGE BAPTISTS The Washington M. E. Conference has just convened in Lynchburg, Virginia. In its wake the Baptists family will gather during the month of June. The Methodists have set the standard high. In point of finance, program and conduct little is left to be desired. The speaking was fine, pitched on a high order. In this lean year they were able to report $55,000 collected for conference purposes, and the whole impression gathered by the public from their presence was one of high christian morality. It will be impossible for the Lynchburg public to miss making a comparison between these two large religious bodies meeting in the city so nearly together. We have with in our ranks as Baptists the numbers, in fact a large superiority in numbers.

Isaiah pictured Him as a lamb, and as a sheep, and tells how in His weakness and humility, He openeth not his fouth." Jesus said to Himself, "I am meek and lowly." Paul contended "He humbled himself;" and the whole life of Jesus was consonant with such characterizations of Him by various Biblical writers. Then in the events of Palm Sunday, He gave emphasis to the contention that He was humble, and meek and lowly. It had been declared, "The King shall come unto the meek and riding upon the foal of an ass." Because of its doolity, an ass has been the symbol of peace, of humility, of meekness, and this lesson was taught by these stirring occurrences which ushered in Holy Week, the last week in the life of our Lord before His crucifixion and ignominious death. In this age of bigotry, conceive, arrogance, and blatant self-praise, it would be well that we go back in thought to Jerusalem and in spirit live through those inspiring events.

He was speaking to a large congregation, the majority of whom were dispegged to accept his pronouncements without question. But a few of them recognized the wakness of his philosophy. It was Alexander Pope who wrote: "Who thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, not e'er shall be." And Pope's contention is in consonance with human experience. Perfect conduct could only result from perfect wisdom, for even conscience is influenced by enlightenment or the lack of it. Man is finite in wisdom, hence perfection is impossible. Almost puerile is this advice not to look for faults nor mistakes. Even if perfection is attainable it would result from discovery of faults and mistakes, and the correction of these, "Knothe hae auton," "Know thyself" urged Aristotle. And Alexander Pope wrote, "Know then thyself—Presume not God to scan." The great inventions, including the airplane and the radio were once ludicrously crude and have been brought to their present state of perfection by casting garments and palm branches, and the little children in their praise to the King; it would be well to hear the multitudes as they cry "Hosanna" and to witness the calm, dignified, unassuming, meek attitude of Christ and these occurrences. No doubt the boldest, most arrogant and most self-centered individual would feel the sense of humility in contemplation of this inspiring occasion of Palm Sunday.

CLINIC PROPOSED FOR RICHMONT YOUNG PEOPLE Richmond, Va.—(CNS)—The Richmond Medical Society, which is composed of Negro physicians, has endorsed the plans for the early diagnosis campaign for tuberculosis and has appointed a committee consisting of Dr. I. A. Jackson, chairman; Dr. J. M. Newman and the Henry Martin to cooperate with the medical committee of the Richmond Tuberculosis Association in organizing and operating a clinic for Negro youths between the ages of 12 and 20.

Gilpin, president of the society assured Dr. E. C. Harper, general chairman of the campaign that the entire membership of the society would give freely of their time and effort to assist in preventing and arresting tuberculosis among their young people. Dr. Gilpin called attention to the fact that the death rate from tuberculosis is three times as high among the Negro race as among the white people of Richmond. the study of their faults and defects. And so it is with human knowledge and human conduct. Improvement comes from introspection, correct appraisal of one's character, and heroic efforts to remedy defects and to perfect character.

Jesus had been betrayed by Judas, arrested and confined, and now He stands before Pilate. Pilate is vacillating and bluffing; he has declared his belief in the innocence of Jesus; and he is seeking a way of escape from what is demanded. While the Roman procurator is seeking to evade the issue, a messenger arrives with a not from his wife.

Maxie Miller: I am twenty-two, and am engaged to a man who has excellent qualities. He is a normal graduate, a tailor by profession, and he makes enough to easily support a family. I think I love him enough to marry him, but he has a terrible temper; in this he resembles "the terrible Mr. Bangs"; and, in fits of anger, he even beats his old mother. This mother has advised me not to marry him. What would you do? Engaged. Tugged: There is but one sensible thing for you to do — pass up this semi-barbarian. A mother-beater will certainly be a wife-beater, and if you have no more sense than to marry this "terrible Mr. Bangs," you will have only yourself to blame when he gets angry and begins to bang you over the head and everywhere else. Another thing, such a violent temper is indicative of unbalanced mentality which may end in insanity, and by means of heredity, it would go down to postity. Better let this rearing kicking, foaming jackass run wild, or let some one else have the job of taming him. Do not take chances with your happiness, and do run the risk of doing irreparable injury to your children and your children's children, by selecting for their sire a man wicked enough and reckless enough to beat his own mother.

Adams (The Literary Service Bureau) Not long ago I was reading a book in which the writef used the terms, "the theory of the resurrection", "this so-called resurrection", "the reputed resurrection", and other vagaries, in speaking of this glorious awakening of Jesus of Nazareth and this "raising up" from the tomb. But it is a splendid thing that such writers are few, and that their works are read by a comparatively few persons, for giving credence to such contentions, and acceptance of same would almost eliminate Christianity; and most surely would "destroy the hope of man." When David wrote "He will not leave my soul in the grave nor suffer his holy one to see corruption," he predicted the resurrection of Christ. But it remained for Paul to remind us that "If Christ be not risen your hope is vain, your preaching is vain, ye are yet in your sina." Then Paul positively avers, "Now is Christ arisen." This same writer insists that the fact of our own resurrection depends on the truth of the resurrection of Jesus. Making the double application, Jesus said to Mary, "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me shall never die." Both sacred and profane history forcefully attest the resurrection of Jesus. The evidence is sufficiently strong and clear to justify the joy with which the Christian world hails the dawn of Easter Sunday.

"THE VALUE OF YOUR DREAMS" By Ben, Alexander Article No. 5 Men Are Best Dreamers There generally has been a great deal of agitation and discussion, as to who are the best dreamers, whose dreams have been most significant; the argument, one way or the other, has raged through all the centuries of the history of the world. In the earliest recorded instances, it seems that the men have most of the dreams. Joseph, the son of Jacob, had several remarkable dreams, which very significant fulfilment. Even though the jealousy of his brethren led to his being stolen away from his father's care, and sold into bondage, yet even in the strange land to which he was taken and sold again, the almost miraculous rise from bondage, and from prison, to be the favored second ruler of the greatest country in its time (Egypt) has fastened itself upon the memory of every schoolboy, all over the world, Jacob, the father of Joseph; and even the Paracho who ruled Egypt during the time of Joseph, were also recorded among the dreamers, whose psychic visions and revelations were great, not only in prophecy, but also in fulfilment. Then we have the dreams of Solomon, the dreams of Joseph the Carpenter (the supposed father of Jesus) the dream of Zachariah, of Peter the Apostle, which might potent for good to those persons. On the other hand, as far as woman is concerned, there is one important dream, among the many record in the Bible, that dream of Pilate's wife which caused her to send a note of warning to her husband, who was then the Roman governor of Judaea. The tide seems to be turned, in modern times, however, since woman, especially the younger women, appear to be the dreamers. When they pass the age of maturity, though, they lose place to the men, who again show in the lead. The argument has been made, that woman in her maiden days, seems to have a mind more fertile for the reception of the message from the spirit world; in consequence of which her dreams have a more important significance. In youth, the man too has a fertile mind; but as he grows older the cares of the business world take possession of him, and he does not seem to be so much in tune with the spirit influences which direct the processes we call dreams.

My mother had reluctanuy yielded to my boyish pleaamg and permitted me wo yo black- berry nunung. ‘rms wasthe day of the open saloon in Richmond.

A white man suddenly came upon me out of the thickets and said, “Give me them bernes, nigger.” Such salutation ang- ered me, but 1 was just a boy and he was a man; | was colored and he was white, and all the policemen were white, | toid the wan that 1 could not give him the berries but that I wanted them tor my “poot” mother at home. I Yelt assured that such a plea would win him. He replied to me with an awful oath and asked me what did 1 suppose that he cared about my mother. ‘ths last 1emark sent an arrow to my heart that made an eter- nai scar. 1 had thought that all white peop'e recognized that a Ne- gro’s mothe: was as dear to the Negre as the white person's mother is ic the white pecson 4nd that this relation was re- spected by each person towards the other. I found out different that day. I found out also that the man wanted my Itbor but that he cared nothing for my rights, my feeling nor my kind.

The souree of tho gift, its immediate or future benefits, and ‘its cost to the group must be con’ sidered, We wake tlese explanations, not because our opinjons in our own estimation are anywise infallible, but because we feel that it is the duty of @ newspaper to put ite stamp of ap- proval on those things whieh it deems beneficial, as well ag to assail those things which in its estimation might prove disastrous. Wo are saying those things in « feeble attempt to make clear tho position, the attitude, and we believe, honest’ intentions of the Committee’ on Negro Housing eondi- tions reconty appointed by the Bich- mond Chamber of Commerce, Wo shall first consider the source from which this benevolent spirit em- auates, the type of men behind the movement. There are three different types of men to be considered—Tho wealthy, those who are striving to ob- tain wealth, and the poor, We will first consider the wealthy, ‘The man who has wealth ig in a great measure beyond the point and above the plane apen which he might feel that he could become contaminated by coming in contact with those who are beneath his station in life, or those who are dentified wth an opposite group from nis own.

They are uot idle talkers, but men of action, who stand high in the councils of business, fin- ance, and industry; We therefore be- lieve that whatever the committee has set it hands to do in our favor, it can and will accomplish, Wo believe that the committee is sincere and ask that it be given a chance to show its mettle.

The leader singing the verses and tho congregation responding with the refrain: : “Sinner man_ setting; Vm so glad, On the gates of hell, T'm so glad, ‘The gates flew open, T'm so glad, And the sinner man fell, Vm so glad.’ Why there were they Jeoring so realously for the saving of sinners if they were so glad of their destruction$ Certainly, these conscientious old moth- vrs and fathers did not mean what they were saying.

Money seems to be the only power that will destroy race prejudice. In Hustings Court a few days ago a high official of the court stated that he was in favor of empaneling an all-Negro jury to. try a murder case in which one Negro is charged with the murder ot another, in order to carrectly ascertain just what colored peo- ple consider a just sentence in a case of this kind. We informed iim that we felt this was a good idea: And by way of amplifica- tion we would recommend the empaneling of an all-Negro jury to sit in judgment on a case in which a white man is on trial for the murder of a Negro. Trying a case of each kind is the only way to arrive at a proper solution of the question of what the Negro considers justice. These things will happen when men begin to love their neighbors as themselves, and elephants begin to roost in trees. Cases like the “John Funn case,” are the ones in which Negro attorneys should display their knowledge of the intricate work- ings of the law. A case in which a Negro is on trial for his life, a Negro who is not able financially to employ counsel; one who is practically friendless. We are not discussing his guilt or innocence. The fact that he is guilty does not abridge his right to competent counsel. When our attorneys demonstrate to the masses the fact that they are capable of handling cases of this kind, when a Negro needs an Attorney he will at least consider a Negro lawyer before hiring a white one. These are your trump cards, gentlemen. Will you play them? Will you heed a layman’s sincere, earnest plea? People everyhere are complaining of hard times, but they have not gotten hard yet: Prepare for the coming years, for the worst is yet to come, Try It Both Ways. “Trump Cards” Only The Beginning.

It dig- sipates its energy and destroys its usefulness in futile efforts to keep the Republican Party from legislating for the relief of all people, The dominant idea of the Democratic Party is, “We don’t know how to de it ourselves and you shall not do it,” This policy of destruction and obstruc- tion has characterized the Democratic Party since tis organization; and will kecp it a negative quantity in the polt ticel affairs of the nation for the next fifty years, as it has done for the last ‘sixty years.’” N, A.

The Philippine Herald, nationalistic newspaper, quoted Manuel Roxas, Speaker of the House, as saying in a speech, the Philippines "were writhing in hell," and as predicting that some day the white man would fall and the brown race would rule the world. The newspaper said that Roxas threw his audience at Santa Cruz, Lacuna Province, into commotion when he bitterly declared: "Philippines are now writhing in the throes of hell, a hell of slavery and foreign domination. Our country, the greatest mother of us all because she made us what we are and gave us what we have, is weeping, pleading, crying to us, her children, to come to her aid and save her from eternal damnation." Predicting world supremacy of the brown race, Roxas said: brown face, Roxas said. "All things have their rise and fall. All things have their day of supreme power and glory. Black generals from Egypt, Carthage and Babylon once swept the plains of Europe and conquered the white peoples inhabiting that continent. . . . "The white man succeeded the black and today he still rules supreme. He still dominates and tyrannizes; he still looks down on all other races as inferior. But the day will come when he will dominate and taste the bitter fruit of tyranny. Then will come the brown man's turn. He will hold the world in his hands and rule supreme over all other races."

I felt a burden fall from me a. I walked out of that place in which I had spent a night of horror. How strange the whole thing had been how would I ever explain to mother? But there was no opportunity for explanation when I reached home and heard mother's stern voice. She did not open the door, fully, she yelled through the small opening: "You can't come in. You'll have to go elsewhere for your support; I wished you would." The door slammed violently and I was left outside. There was no use of trying again, for it was obvious that the worm had turned. Mother meant exactly what she said. With a petulant jerk of the head, I fung myself around and down the street I flirted, and away, and I went back to it all, but I had deserved what I had brought upon myself. It is an example of the thoughtlessness and waywardness of youth. I have paid a woman's greatest price for what might have never happened. I became an outcast. My youth, my beauty and physical features were my only immediate defenses against poverty and starvation. And the day was coming when those defences would fail me. Hearing recently that mother had forgiven me, I returned home and am happy again, save in the thoughts of her children and humiliation it brought to mother, and the suffering that has come to me. THE END SWEETENED RECIPES Here are two recipes which will come in hand whenever mother desires to cater to the proverbial sweet tooth of dad and the youngsters. Or,ry one some Jay when company arrives and a real "surprise dish" is in order: Interesting Creations of Ingenious African Natives A BY MARGARET WHITTEMORE Life as a missionary in Liberia has brought to Miss Hattie T. Hooks, of Topeka, many interesting and unusual experiences. Although she has been in that country for the past ten years, she is still the youngest missionary in Liberia. For several years she was stationed at the Garraway Mission at Wedabo, in the interior of the country, but now she is on the coast, and is head of the mission with native teachers under her. She received many favors from one of the tribal kings of Liberia, whom she converted to the Christian faith. He even gave her his own chair a few years ago. Any sort of a chair is considered a luxury there, where the natives usually squat on their haunches by the hour. It is very low, the seat being hardly eight inches above the floor, and the back only about eighteen inches high. It is made of sandal-wood and shows signs of long use. Miss Hooks was carried from Wedabo to the coast, just before sailing for America, in a hammock. This was the only means of transportation, although the distance traveled in that way was three hundred miles. This hammock she brought home with her on her furlough, and has left it in America with many other interesting p honors. He was a good looking young dark brown farmer, as honest as a dollar, and he had built up a nice little nest egg, owning his place which comprised one hundred of the best farm land in Southern Missouri. Hattie was eighteen and until she married her had never been out of her county. She was one of those so-called "hill women." She had been left without parents at an early age and did not know what it was to have the love of an honest man. In fact, it is very doubtful whether she understood the real meaning of love. All she knew about it was what Sam England taught her, until she took on a coat of the world's shining veneer. For the first year they got along nicely without the least trouble of any kind. Sam did not believe in extravagance on clothes and the first quarrel that arose between them was when Hattie wanted to order a silk dress from a catalogue. All she had ever been accustomed to, were home-made calico dresses that cost less than fifteen cents a yard. But a school teacher had boarded at Sam's house one written and her fashionable dress had changed into ideas about what she taught to wear. The teacher explained to her that silk dresses were all the fashion. Then the following winter there was another boarder who also taught school. He was a young man, handsome and polished and immaculate in his attire. The very moment he came into Hattie's love-starved life he swayed her with his maliciously romantic influence. Down there in that particular part of South Missouri in which this story happened, women took little to fashion, but were long on calico dresses. Silks and satins and sables were things they had read about but had never seen. So this teacher, Martin Brewer, took Hattie into his confidence and acquainted her with the fact that a silk dress made all difference in the world in a woman. Sam England didn't know what was going on. He was entirely too preoccupied with his hogs and chickens and cows. Too, when he wasn't working he was slaying wild turkeys, ducks and quails for the table, thinking to save money in this direction. He was, as a natural result, always tired when evening came. Sun-down, to him, meant bed, and bed meant rest so that he could also before the rest enough to do a big day's work without having to lose any time sitting on a tree stump and reposing. Well, when he found out that Hattie was in love with Brewer it came as a shock to him which completely dampened his spirits. He walked in on them one day and found his wife in the other man's arms. He was shocked before they discovered his presence and got his single-barrel shot gun. Retracting his steps he lifted the weapon and alming it at Brewer said: "Make NOVEL PICKLE DISHES Comparatively few housewives take full advantage of pickles as one of the ingredients for an unusual dish.

"Don't shoot," Brewer pleaded, "please don't shoot me, England. I'll leave here right now and never show my face again. I promise you that. You don't want to stain your hands in my blood. You would always regret it. It would wreck your life and hers. Think; man--think what it would mean to murder me." Hattie trembling, stood to one side and watched. She was terror-striken but helpless to the incarcerate. She knew she loved the Brewer, yet she was so weak that she could not raise her hand in his defense. Sam England lowered the gun. He knew it, it meant to shoot a gun down in cold blood, so he suffered a reversal of feeling. He pointed to the door. "Then get out," he ordered angrily, "and stay out. If I see you again, I shall shoot you like I would a hog." Brewer left immediately. For a long time England pondered the situation. He loved his wife. He knew that he loved her dearly. His love, to tell the truth, made him powerless to send the unfaithful Hattie away like he had sent her lover away. So he became reconciled to the facts he faced, and kept her there under his roof. But life was never the same after that. She yearned for her lost love. Her unhappiness became obvious. The truth showed in every look and action. And then he tried to win her love, realizing that she had never cared for him. He climbed into his car and drove to town and bought the prettiest slik dress that he could find. It cost forty-five dollars. When he returned with it, Hattie smiled and said: "I've al- wanted one, I." Wonder how I'll look in it." She put it on. She had been taught how to dress her hair by the school teacher who had explained to her that calico dresses were not fashionable. And she looked and charming and sat in her chair with "Honey Girl," he murmured. "I love you with all my heart and soul. Can't you care for me a little in return?" She snuggled down close to him and her lips were responsive. But he didn't know when he looked at that her eyes were filled with lies.

It brought tragedy into his life. It completely ruined him. Hattie took to going to town alone, drove the car, and remained away for hours at a time. She was displaying her expensive clothes in the village. She left her dog to watch some response to his great undying devotion. Then one night when the clock struck twelve and she had not reappeared, he armed himself with the shotgun and half mad, mounted a horse and started for town. He rode presently to a bend in the road and around this saw the gleaning lamps of an automobile parked near a wire fence. When he drew abreast of the car a woman's voice said: "Say, mister, we stuck here. Can't you use that horse to pull us out?" It was Hattie but she didn't rearrange her husband. Sam knew her voice and rode closer to the machine. Then when the other occupant of the car flashed a cigaret Modern Su Modern H IS YOUR FOOD OLD-FASHIONED Those who pride themselves upon being skillful housewives, and particularly skillful in the preparation of food, should be careful to check up their vegetable dishes, meats, salads, and desserts occasionally so that they may be sure they are not getting into a cooking rut. No matter how well a woman may prepare some of the good old standby, the modern guest looks for new foods in the private home just as he looks for them in his club, hotel, or restaurant. Salads and fruit cups are regarded as necessities today in millions of homes where they seldom appeared twenty years ago. Fruits and vegetables that were then unknown are now quite common, while others are just appearing upon the tables of those who are always eagerly seeking novel foods with attractive flavors and nourishing qualities. Probably one of the most popular of the newer vegetables is the artichoke—the bud of a plant that grows in California. The artichoke is cooked as you would cook Brussels sprouts. The edible portions are the thick, white base ends of the leaves, also the heart. The flavor is difficult to describe. Many who try it are sure that it resembles the tip ends of fresh --- situations of her stay in Liberia. There are baskets, costumes, handbags, wooden dishes, beads, bracelets, leopard skins, elephant tusks, and other interesting objects, commonly used by the natives. Gopher wood is used in making canoes of which Miss Hooks has a miniature specimen. This is said to be the same material that Noah used in building his ark. Other articles are made of ebony and mahogany, which are common woods in that country. Dishes, plates, combs, coffee grinders, and many kitchen utensils are made of gopher wood.

"So, I see you again," he expostulated between clenched teeth. "You broke your word and came coack. Well, you remember what I told you. I said I kill you if you ever came back. And this time I mean business." He was crazed, didn't realize what he was doing. knew only that his temple throbbed and his puises pounded as they had never pounded before. He aimed at the man with his shotgun and blew a hole in his head. Then he fired again before Hattle could leap from the car, and her heart into little pieces—that false heart that had caused him so much grief. He was tried for it but came clear. The unwritten law saved him. Anyway he blamed it all on the silk dress. asparagus, white others are equally sure that it has the flavor of roasted chestnuts. In spite of this difference of opinion, the fact remains that the artichoke captures tastes very quickly. From a health viewpoint these artichokes rate very high as they not only contain valuable vitamins but are rich in iron and iodine. What may interest many more than this is the fact that this vegetable served with a lemon juice dressing will satisfy the appetite and nourish the body without adding weight. Doubtless, some people refuse to purchase antichokes because they do not know how to eat them. Probably this applied to our parents or grandparents when oranges, pine-apples, Brussels sprouts and many other delicacies, that we are now perfectly familiar with, first appeared. The antichoke is just as easy to prepare as many of the vegetables we have been using for years. Soak one antichoke for each person in cold salted water for at least five minutes. Place them compactly in a saucepan and heat the salted water and cook until the stems can be easily pierced with a fork, usually about thirty minutes. Some cooks add a tablespoon of lemon juice and b. 9.000 kcal ameter, are used for trunks. Other specimens of native basketry and weaving are the carrier's for babies which are strapped to the mothers backs. Another basket is called the "kinjah" or carry-all, and is used for a shopping bag. The packages are placed in this carrier which is then placed on the head. The women of Liberia make most of these things and are very skillful in weaving mats of grass and raffia-like material. Elephant hoofs are used for bracelets, and many of them have delicate silver inlay. Miss Hooks secured a pair of jingling contrivances which the natives wear around the ankles in dancing. She also has ivory beads, napkin rings, and other ivory carvings. Miss Hooks received her training at the Gammon Theological Seminary at Atlanta, Georgia, and at Des Moines, Iowa. She attended the Topeka public schools in her childhood. Her father was for many years a prominent pastor is one of the churches of that city. ~ Scalped Apples With Peanut Brittle Six large tart apples, one-fourth peaspoon salt three-fourths pound peanut brittle four tablespoons lemon juice.

Its very warmth is a protection against the chilly weather and its fragrant aroma provides good cheer when skies are grey and the wind is blustery. Coffee needs no explanation to the American people on the score of goodness, for the average American consumes twelve and a half pounds of it a year. The lower amount for many years, it is appealing more and more to the pockeebook as well as to the palate. But many people do not reaize that coffee is a valuable part of the diet in Winter because of the gentle stimulation which it gives to the ```markdown ``` a few slices of onion to the water, while others prefer a tiny clove of garlic. They may be served either hot or cold with drawn butter, Hollandaise sauce, mayonnaise, French dressing or whatever kind of dressing appeals to the palate. Place each artichoke on a plate with an individual serving of dressing. In eating, the artichoke should be held lightly with the fingers of the left hand while removing the leaves one at a time with the thumb and finger of the right hand the base of each leaf is digged into the dressing and gently through with it. In doing so, the tender tasty substance is removed. As you finish with each leaf, place it on a second plate provided for that purpose. After the larger leaves are removed a small cone of immature, light-colored leaves is revealed. Although there is a minute portion of edible substance on these tiny leaves, it is the custom to remove with a spoon and discard the cone and the fuzzy center on which it rests. Now reheated the heart of the artichoke, the most tender tidbit in the whole vegetable. The heart is eaten with a fork. This novelty is thus one that may be prepared easily and eaten without awe. Most people use it in simple forms, but it lends itself to many very attractive dishes. It may be served hot with drawn butter as a vegetable. The hearts can be used in combination with meat, eggs, and vegetables in a salad dish. Or artichokes can be baked, fried, sautéed or purée in soups. Here are two simple ways in which you may try this latest popular favorite among our American vegetables. Broiled Artichokes Half cook the artichokes. Hollow out the choke by working from the top. Drain and marinate in slightly salted oil. Replace the choke with a mixture composed of a spoonful of oil and finely chopped scallions and parsley, season with salt and pepper. Finish cooking in the broiler. When they are browned, sprinkle lightly with oil. Artichokes Santes Cut six artichokes into quarters and remove the choke. Turn the leaves and parbull for five minutes in salted, acidulated water. Drain well. Arrange in a baking dish. Season with salt, pepper and 4 tablespoons butter. Cover the pan and bake for 30 minutes. Serve with soy dressing. PAGE SEVEN FOR WOMEN only Every about diaper periods from natural wash. Get Quick Remission using FEMNEE- L. Get Free Diaper Routine.

Secretary To Become Professor Of Creative Literature PAGE EIGHT Nashville, Tennessee, March 21st, 1931 James Weldon Johnson, for fourteen years the Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has been appointed Professor of Creative Literature at Fisk University, Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, president of Fisk, has announced this appointment to the recently created Academ K, Spence Chair of Creative literature. act of the serving of the old and new Fisk to present the best traditions of a race. Adam K. Spence was the first principal. He acted as dean while the president, E. M. Cravath, was absent raising money to venture in education. Adam K. Spence did more than any other person to establish this new school for foretreed men on the basis of a liberal arts college. His first catalogue offered courses rung from reading and arithmetic to Greek literature and trigonometry. Few there are so well equipped by experience and native ability as is James Weldon Johnson to help Fisk realize the dream of Adam Spence. Surely no other American is better fitted for this particular place in a Negro University. The story of Mr. Johnson's creative genius is in reality the story of creative effort among Negroes. The publication of his first book foretold the recognition of the creative ability of his race that blossomed forth in the period known fifteen years later as the "Negro Renissance". When his novel, "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man", was first published in 1912, Negroes were not being encouraged to write and the Negro material was not considered worthy of expression. This book established Mr. Johnson as a writer of no mean ability in a literary world which ignored the Negro both as Creator and creation, except in the role of a problem or a clown. The reprint of the book at the height of the popularity of "the new Negro in art and literature" reestablished him as a novelist in a new literary world, which was "HEAVEN BOUND" GOING TO COURT IN ATLANA, GA. Atlanta, Ga.—(CNS)—Its "Heaven Bound" this time. The choir of Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, one of the most widely known churches in the South, will go to court here Saturday morning over th edramati coperetta, "Heaven Bound." Lula B. Jones, a member of the church choir for thirty years, has brought suit against the pastor, trustees and one of the choir singers in the United States district court, alleging infringement of copyright. The hearing is set for April 4. Big Bethel choir has been in great demand, not only in Atlanta, but in many other cities for many years for concerts, and more recently for radio performances. This group of Negro singers has revived and kept before the public many of the spirituals of slave days that have never been reduced to the musical score. Mrs. Jones charges she wrote "Heaven Bound" to enable the choir to make money, by this was in no way a public dedication. Because she protected her work by copyright, the woman charges she was discharged from the choir in which she had sung for thirty years, on Feb. 25. She asks for an accounting of profits made on the production of the play since her discharge. The operetta depicts the trials of the Negro during his journey through the world on the way to Heaven. He is beset by many temptations and alumnery offers of riches and pleasure. On the stage is the "pearly gate," guarded by St. Peter and the Angels. a group Amuseau, oqt Aq dn poisson white rubes." TWO WHITE MEN SEN—ENCED IN THE KILLING OF HUBERT, MOREHOUSE STUDENT Atlanta—(CNS)—Two white men were under sentence here Monday for voluntary manslaughter in connection with the killing last June of Dennis Hubert, nephew of Dr. Benjamin Hubert, president of Georgia State Industrial College, and a student at Morehouse College. Aubrey Sikes was convicted last Saturday and got from two to three years. T. L. Martin, convicted last year was sentenced to from twelve to fifteen years. Four other white men are awaiting the trial for the slaying. The defense pleaded justifiable homicide, asserting that Hubert insulted a white woman with the six men on a colored playground. Evidence introduced by the State, however, was that the alleged "insult" was the suggestion of another colored lady and not Hubert, "to take the drunken lady home," when she fell down on the playground. Hubert was popular among the students at Morehouse and was a member one of the outstanding families in the State.

CLEO taking seriously Negro artists and then material. Mr. Johnson's productive ability has spanned and outlived the fad period of the Negro Renaissance. He is recognized as a poet and an anthropologist, as an authority on Negro folk lore and history. His authorship of Negro verse. "The Book of American Negro Poetry", contains the best critical analysis, contains the best critical analysis, contains the best critical analysis of Negro poetry yet written. One of the seven folk sermons included in his "God's Trombones" has been characterized by a well-known American editor as the most moving poem in the English language. "Black Manhattan", his history of New York City, is the authentic story of the Negro and the American theatre. Mr. Johnson was in the forefront of those who, realizing the beauty of the spirituals, set to work to preserve them. Two published collections of the sorrow songs are the result of his efforts. His latest book, "Saint Peter Relates an Incident of the Resurrection?" is the story in verse of the Unknown Soldier who turns out to be colored. This volume was published in a limited edition and was included in the "Fifty Books of the Year" exhibition of Graphic Arts as a fine example of typography, printing and bookmaking. James Weldon Johnson as a man is the best example any University could offer as an ideal for young people. His earl career in the U. S. diplomatic service and his active interest in world affairs make invaluable his viewpoint to student life. His courage and judgment in the direction of the program of the N. A. A. C. P. for the civil rights of all Negroes are the kind that Fisk wants to develop in her graduates. Mr. Johnson has been awarded the Spingarn Medal, and has twice won Harmon awards for his distinguished achievements. He went as a member of the American group to the Pacific Conference (Institute of Pacific Relations) which met n Japan in 1929. That same year he was awarded a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship for creative writing. MISSISSIPPI HAS ANOTHER Uverness.

New York, March 27—That 54 Nigerian women were killed and 57 wounded in 1929, in a clash with British Government forces, is revealed by the publication of the report of the African disorders, news of which reaches the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through the Manchester (English) Guardian. The disorders, says the Guardian, "arose out of a complete misapprehension of the Government's intentions, and they involved almost exclusively the women of the country. Fifty-four women were killed or died of wounds in conflict with Government forces, and fifty-seven were wounded, while there were two casualties only among men. The fear and fury that aned the wome altogether and led them to attack Government offices, loot the premises of European treaters, and wreck a bank were due to a lack of tact on the part of their rulers. The women had seen their menfolk counted two years before and afterwards taxed for the first time. When a fresh census that included themselves were taken they fell a ready prey to the rumor that taxation would fall upon them also, and within a week or two tens of thousands of native women were demonstrating throughout an area half the size of England."
