YER BILL NOW READY FOR DEBATE IN SENATE An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XI NO. 17 diciary Committee Takes Final Step With A Favorable Report. Only Change Strengthens Bill And Removes Any Doubt As To Its Constitutionality. NEW YORK, August 8. (Special) — The final step before debate and a vote on the Dyer Anti-Librillary Bill on August 8, the State Senate was taken on July 28 where the Senate Samuel M. Shortridge of Cal. filed favorable majority report for the Judiciary Committee on the bill, according to a statement released today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People then a Secretary, James Weldon Johnson. The report is an exhaustive one, taking up as it does the constitutional objections in detail and answering each objection. The bulk of the report is given over to the report of the House Judiciary Committee prepared by Mr. Over, and to briefs on the constitutionality of the measure prepared and submitted by Moorfield Storey. President of the N. A. A. C. P. and by Herbert K. Stockton of New York, of the firm of Haight, Smith, Griffin and Denling, and a member of the Legal Committee of the N. A. A. C. P. The Senate Judiciary Committee is reporting the bill recommended one change from the form as passed by the House. Briefly, this change provides that it shall be charged in the indictment of persons accused of larceny, theft, assault, and an exercise sufficient diligence in the arraignment and punishment of the purchers. The change greatly strengthens the bill and also remores doubt as to its constitutionality. In rendering its report, the Judiciary Committee made the following strong declaration: The committee has devoted much time and earnest thought to the consideration of this bill and has reached the conclusion that as amended the bill is constitutional and should pass. That conclusion is relied by different processes of reasoning and by reliance in different provisions of the Constitution; but whatever process of reclaiming is adopted or whatever provisions of the Constitution are relied on, the committee has adopted the "appropriate legislation" to cure or prevent the evil of lynching wherever in the United States and subjected to the jurisdiction thereof that evil exists or is committed. White or black "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States," and no state may by affirmative legislation, judicial or executive action, or by failure, neglect, or refusal to act, deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws. A careful and dispassionate study of the provisions of this bill amended bill, the committee thinks, convinceors that it is "appropriate legislation" within the competency of Congress to enact, to safeguard and protect those rights to life, liberty and property which are guaranteed by the institution of the United States. The proposed legislation and the proposed amendment in any sense national. The evil it is designed; there is not confined to any particular action or state, north or south, east or west. This monstrous evil, which is a disgrace to the Nation, we should strive to wipe out by a firm and just exercise of every legitimate power conceded upon and residing in the Federal government. The proposed legislation is not an enasion or subversion of the rights the States, nor is it designed to reive the States from the performance their duty to secure to all persons him their several jurisdictions equaliation of the laws on the concession of property in the States and in the several States and will initially administered by the poeer of the several States. Is sincerely hoped and confidently assured that the early passage of this law amended will have a salutary and go far toward insuring that proper protection of the laws." State of Federal to which "all persons born naturalized in the United States are to the jurdition thereof" entitled. American citizenship is indeed a form of honor; it should be and this checks to make it, a shield of protection to every American citizen, man man and child, native and naturalized who stands on American soil, around and guarded, as they are the Constitution of the United commenting on this acted Mr. said. This favorable report by the Judicial Committee removes the last conditional objection to the Dyer Bill at the same time whatever excuse Senate may have had for delaying it on the measure. So long as Judicial Committee deferred it, just so long could members of Senate plead to friends of the bill white and colored, that any per-pretence, to press the bill war on the House, can that excuse be offered. Dyer Bill has been declared conditional by the Judicial Committee of both the House and the Senate's attorney-elect of the United States. Herbert K.

Aug 7- The Forty-fifth annual session of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, jurisdiction of Arkansas, which although not quite charismatic as previous sessions, yet a very successful one, was held at Branch Normal College, Pine Bluff, Arkansas July 25 to 28 inclusive. The annual reports of the Grand Officers and Trustees were well received and approved. The grand lodge was reelected Grand Chancellor after a brief of opposition from E.D. Pembele of Chicot County and a second ballot was necessary before Mr. Arant secured a majority number of votes sufficient for re-election. Fred D. Morris who delivered one of the most eloquent addresses and rendered an unusually markable report of his office was unanimously re-elected to the office of Grand Keeper of Records and Seal for the sixth consecutive time, thus making his tenure of office one year longer than any of his predecessors. Yet the grand lodge opposed vote for his office, there being candidates in the field for his place. The popularity of Mr. Morris was well attested by the fact that the combined vote of his opponents amounted to only 60 votes. Mr. Theo Bond of Madison was re-elected Grand Master of Epicquer, but Mr. N. W. Shelton, who has been Grand attorney for a number of years was decisively defeated for that office by Mr. J. R. Booker one of the youngest and most successful attorneys in the South-West. Much of his markable growth of the Order in this country is due to the business-like methods and program accounts of F. D. Morris, Q. K. R. S. Theo Bond and Fred D. Morris were elected Supreme Representatives for the Grand Jurisdiction of Arkansas to the Supreme Lodge which meets in New York City in 1033 Lawsuit It will be remembered that an offer was made by the Insurance Company Published In The Interest Of Colored People 37 CLANSMEN ARE INDICTED IN CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES, Cal.

LANGSTON HARRISON THANKS THE VOTERS To The Editor of the St. Louis Argus: Allow me to say through your valuable paper that I wish to thank each and every one for any assistance rendered me during the recent campaign and election in the primaries. I have their loyalty which enabled me to withstand the Fourth District, and I am depending upon their identity to elect me in November. Grateful to all, LANGSTON HARRISON. GABE ROTH NOMINATED One of the interesting features of the recent primary election was the contest for, constable in the Fifth District, mayor in the Fourth District, and Angela Deepe that was nominated. This caused much anxiety among the friends of Gabe Roth who was a candidate for the same office. Mr. Roth is regarded as a friend of the cored people of the city. In a recent public address, Mr. Roth stated that if Walthall Moore did not carry his Ward (the 5th) he would jump into the Mississippi River. Of course Mr. Moore carried the Fifth Ward. If will also be remembered that Gabe Roth was one of those who made the fight for the election of R. F. Bowles to the Constitutional Convention. He supported Ira Duray for Constable and Ira seemed very much disappointed when it was rumored that his friend Roth was defeated. Mr. Roth is a member of the Twelfth Congressional District and as such, has Negro representation on that Committee. It is predicted that Mr. Roth will be one of the successful candidates in the November election. Don't despair your hope earnest. It can expand your usefulness. No escalator can which you up to success. The stairs have to be qualified, something in dark to be possible.

Speaking edificially, the Afro-American says: "On Saturday, August 12, the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs will meet in annual session at Cedar Hill, Anaconda, D.C. and lead it to the nation and to posterity." The Doughnut Home is a great colored Birthplace because it was the home of the greatest black mage. Mary and has ever produced, and one of the greatest in the history of the nation. The Women of the country under the leadership of the great mage restores this home to its former glory and propose to set it apart as a great memorial to the great Doughnut.

ANOTHER LITTLE DANCER FEATURES VAUDEVILLE BILL AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON There is plenty of pop in the combination of song, dance and comedy; ingredients of the vaudeville show at the Booker Washington Theatre this week; and the patrons are being well entertained. Brown and Brown, a mixed team open with a Dixie song and dance followed with jokes and exaggerated stories. A song, "Dady Your Mama's Lonesome for You," by the female member; a comic song "Somebody" with a good buck dance by the man; a dash of poetic humor, then the act closes with a lively musical dance by the team. Garnett Wubbington, "Buttermilk" is an excellent single performer. He has two good patencies on I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" and "Anytiffing is Nice that Comes From Dixie". His monologue is filled with real, fun, and in a novel closing, announced as the last of the Jazz, the performer uses a wash tub and board as jazz instruments. Davidis and Harris: another mixed team, enter into a discussion of the rib that originated woman, and set the audience laughing. This is followed by Miss Harris with a cyclonic dance and singing "Arkansas Blues." Mr. Davis puts over a few narratives that are original and seemingly funny, elicited with a "I'm Satisfied" a song hit. The conversation is new and reing is another speedy song and dance; is another speedy song and dance. The Nelson Trio closes the show. A man, a woman and a boy, with the boy as the center of attraction, have an act that scores a decisive hit. After the opening song and dance, the woman sings, "Ten Little Fingers ete" in a good voice, and the man uses eccentric prances to his song "Sho Is A Shame," both scoring hits. The lad sings "Play Em For Mama" and follows with a descriptive back, filled with comedy and artistically executed. After a humorous round of word sparring by the man and boy, the trio closes with a spirited song and dance. The act goes good. Next Week Marie Salmon and her "Quacker Girl Boys" Trio" will be the feature on the bill at the Booker Washington Theatre next week. The "Original Queen Dora," supported by her own electricians with all electrical effects, will appear in a novelty act. Others on the bill will be Bluch and Black, man and woman; and James Helton, a comedian. Monday will be "Pay Day" as usual when all the patrons will receive an envelope with some sum of money up to $5. Eagle stamps to $40 or a pass. "Strange Idols," "Moran of the Lady Letty" And "Primitive Lover" At The Lincoln Dustin Farrum in "Strange Idols" will be featured at the Lincoln theatre this Saturday. It is the story of an unfortunate love match with its heart burnings and ultimate reunion. The scence effects include the white light activities of New York and the shadowed depth of the primitive forest in the Northwest. Doddy button will be seen in "Moran of the Lady Letty" on Sunday "Moran" is a girl born and reared on the seas, bold and daring and absolutely fiery before Kitchell, the murderous, sensuous captain of the hell ship "Heart of China." In the battle scenes aboard the vessel she lights like a tigress. She is supported by Rudolph Valentino. Constance Talmadge in "The Primitive Lover" will be the special attraction next Thursday. The theme is a ready made foundation for any comedy. Two rival sailors, one built along their Brunnel lines and the other reminiscent of original man in his forceful tactics. The caveman kidnaps the object of his gamenours only to find that in the fastness of the mountains, he is utterly incapable of carrying for her comfort. Not so far away the brewing coffee of his more practical rival drifts lazily into his cabin with agonizing persistence. "Any Night," "Out Of The 'Silent North'" and "Lady Godiva" At the Star "Ay Night," with Tully Marshall, Robert Edenson and a good company will be the Star Theatre feature this Saturday. The story is built around a little baby boy just past the teddy age, with a beautiful young mother of wonderful character and a father who in spite of many weaknesses, wins his way into the hearts of his fellows. The powerful story is an unusual combination of beautiful heart interest and strong, gripping drama. Frank Mayo will be presented in "Out of the Silent North" on Sunday. The story concerns an ignorant French Canadian, living in a northern outpost of civilization, who sets out in a blizzard to rescue a nurn lost in the storm it was a real blizzard too, into which Mayo plunged for this part of the picture. Pierre, the frontiersman, then accompanies the stranger in search of a gold claim, where the two make a rich strike and work their mine on through the summer and into the following winter. The various outdoor sequences were carried out with the most realism. Tennyson's famous poem "Lady Godiva" will be featured on the screen at the Star next Thursday and Friday. No greater sacrifice could have been asked of this woman, gentle and pure of spirit; no greater pain could have been endured by, her, than the public shame demanded by her husband, the wicked lord of Coventry, if she would free the people from his tyranny. The story of Lady Godiva—her enfeebled, loveless marriage to the wicked Earl of Mercia, his cruelty and camping her unhappiness and love for another; her ride, mucked through the town, and the suspicion that brought about the Earl's downfall, makes a wonderful screen presentation. "The Green, Temptation," "Trouble" And "Shackles of Gold" At Comet Betty Compson in "The Green Tempation" will be presented at the Comet theatre this Saturday. Gaspard, the Burlequin of a traveling Parasian panine show, is played by Thelore Joslin and proves a minister figure, he baffles the heroine, an Apache own by Genelle played by Miss Comp.

Leader Cunco will be seen in "The Marked Aviator" this Sunday; Mary Pickford in "Through the Back Door" on Monday; and Jim Fahmaka in "The Cleaner" on Wednesday. Miss Du Pont will be seen in "A Wonderful Wife," at the Jestamere Theatre this Saturday. The absorbing tale of a beautiful woman was willing in no anhing for her husband and did too much. How in the crisis she turned her biggest weakness into her greatest strength makes a picture that is at top interest from start to finish. Owen Moore in "Reported Missing" will play the role of a Tuesday. The story concerns the efforts of an Oriental shipping king to gain control of a fleet of ships upon which Owen Moore as Richard Boyd has an option. An order that young Bord's option will lapse, the wily Chinaman arranges to have him shim-haled—and then, the fun begins. It is just one thrill and laugh after another a state bordering on the hysteria at yesterday's showing, particularly when Tom Wilson as the hero's faithful coedored raider ranger in the general direction of the yellow cohorts of Oman the villian. The biggest thrill in the picture is a race between a sea sed and a hydroplane which is followed by a chase in high powered machines. On Wednesday and Thursday Pauline Frederick will be presented in "The Glory of Clementine." The story has to do with the rejuvenation of an artistic genius who in the pursuit of fame his stifled every natural instinct within her. She becomes dowdy and temperamental. At last a strong baby's touch made the smile of hopes of nackness her breasts of wildehood and motherhood. Miss Frederick's characterization of the artist is matched, only by her own brilliant interpretation of the role of the mother in "Madame N" Charles Jones in "Rough Shed" at the Casino Theatre this Saturday. It deals with ranch life in Arizona; its villainy encubras both the polished and the rough and its love romance of the most wholesome sort. Its lieutenant is a very charming young business woman—owner of a ranch—and the hero (Charles Jones) is her foreman, a chap of steady nerve and abundant courage both moral and physical. The story is well stocked with exciting incident—including a fight to the under water—and an unusual feature is that there are two feminine roles of practically equal distinction; one prayed by Helen Ferguson, the leading woman, the other by Ruth Benckes. The popular Maurice Flynn also is in the cast. Robert Elliot in "The Rancher will be presented on Sunday." "Peaceful" Hart had carried his nickname for thirty years because he was content to occupy a comfortable porch chair, reading his favorite book and to let ram matters adjust themselves, losing his title through the attempt of Schumitzberger and Sanders to jump the claim is not only exciting but has a heart interest that is appealing. "Three Live Ghosts," "North of The Rio Grande," and "Bought And aid For."—Olympia "Three Live Ghost," a new Paramount picture, will be presented at the Olympia Theatre this Saturday. The story of the three biddies who have been ported missing and who have alive after all is one of the most interesting. The product by George Fitzmaurice in Grade one the cast headed by Amaia Q. Nilsson and Norman Kerry is artistic. Jack Holl and Bebe Daniels will be seen in North of the Rio Grande" on Sunday. It is one of the most thrilling sweeping yarns ever pictured; and the players who interpret it could not have been better selected. a Western picture, a sizzling romantic drama of the great outdoors of the land where men are men. It moves with the grace and speed of a saddled of the great horses, around which it is boven, it has situations, to set the pulse throbbing, the "heart," beating wildly and the brain to stand still at the wonder of what to happen next. It has suspense, vigorous action, and a thunderbolt surprise just before the end William Dy "Mille" production, "Bought and Paid For" will be presented at the Olympia next Thursday. It is the story of the woman who marries a telephone girl. For a while they are happy, then the husband repeatedly comes home drunk. His wife a woman of fine sensibilities is burdened. At last, the elimax comes and when she refuses to kiss him, his insults her by saying that, his bought her and paid for her, and there forty owned her. This causes a bread. The causing events and the elimax are a picture highly enjoyable. Alma Ayres and Jack Holt both Paramount stars, play the featured roles with artistic effect. "The Crimson Challenge," "Over The Border" "And the KU Klux Klan" At The Pondside Dorothy Dalton in "The Crimean Challenge" will be the attraction at the Pendleton Theatre this Sunday and Monday. A Western picture in every scene of the word, it is packed with thrills, opportunities, story it calls for her to portray the courageous, fearless type of woman, who leans the settlers of an oppressed valley against a man who press upon the people—rustles their cattle and perpetrates all kinds of outrages. And at the conclusion she beats him in a two-pumpe rida the valley of its oppressors and incidentally avenges the murder of her father at the villain's hands. In addition to Pearl White ip "Without Fees" on "Tuesday and Wednesday," Mr. Austin will show "The Mysterious Erase of the Ku Klux Klan" The photoplay is said to show the inner workings of the indiscriminate organization, and will be of interest to the audience in Betty Compson and Tom Moore in "Over the Border" will be the feature on Thursday and Friday. Miss Compson as the daughter of the man who smuggles liquor in wholesale quantities across the United States-Canadian boundary line, and the sweetheart of Royal Monsted policemen with escorting dogs in the smuggled emotions that of a manured soldier, is able play by Mr. Moore.

The trademark in this case, is a gorgeously-dressed wief. The husband is not wealthy, but hopes to attain wealth by making a show of wealth. However, a mutual friend of him has gained wealth and fortunes, falls in love with the wife and the husband, to promote selfish financial casks, rather encourage the romance. This situation culminates in a very powerful climax in Mexico where, after a thrilling fight with bandits the handman is killed and the two lovers find the trumpet of their rightops unselfish love. The Criterion feature for Sunday, Richard Barthurmesson in "Sonny," has a universal mother and son appeal that will find an echo in every home of the country. "The story involves a case of dual identity after the war in which the proprietor of a Hoboken poolhouse is mistaken for the son of a son of a warlord.

If such abilities of dress were an indication of a fashion of fashion accepted in St. Louis an conventional, perhaps we should say nothing. But this is not true. This baneful appearance out the part of groups of our people is but a glaring of LOOSENESS. CARELESSNESS, and INDIFFERENCE. is furthermore one of the strongest evidences of the lack of self-pride, self-respect, and is indeed a bold affront to race elevation. Five years ago such men and women were simply considered as migrants fresh from the south and therefore unacquainted with northern city life. But that day has passed! Everyone "up north" is now supposed to be acquainted with its requirements, and not accordingly. Not have often heard that clothes don't make a man. That is so. But they do help and help immeasured. Two men came to you for york and one wore a soiled shirt, suit full of spots, and shoes unpolished; while the other was neat—linen clean, hair well trimmed, shoes polished, and sait pressed, all other things being equal, which one would you select? You would naturally present the one that presented the most fragrant, and would be the unanimous choice of every body else. If groups of our people have little or no self-respect, then the whole race is so adduced. Under another caption in this column we have before called attention to the importance of dress. Here we ask you to keep in mind the following regarding dress up. 1. It is a defence of self- pride. 2. It infuses cleanliness. 3. It helps the whole neighborhood. 4. It sets, a beautiful example. 5. It promotes race pride. DRESS UP, IT PAYS! BETTER RACE RELATIONS Most of the thinking of whites and Negroes about one another in America is not more than half truth — half truth given currency by newspapers and magazines, white and Colored; near facts faked by racial interpretation. Special racial situations, such as riots, are usually interpreted to the outside world according to the racial state of mind of the person or group reporting, attitudes and attitudes are not determined by facts but are based upon certain racial associations with little basis in fact; for example, the common assumption among whites, when a Negro family tries to get away from the muddy, dark, unpolished streets where most Negro homes are, that they want to live next door to white people. Here, is the test for those who would improve race relations: to state the case in terms of the concrete and thus challenge white and colored men to action around concrete issues. Out of such work will come the better racial attitude. There are here in the South great human tasks which challenge white and Colored intelligence and faith. These furnish the best opportunity for the building of racial good will. We shall never lower the death rate from color blindness to the Colored intelligence work together to thwart end. An invaluable by-product will be better racial attitudes. SIXTY-THREE COLORED PUBLICATIONS OPERATE THEIR OWN PRESSES SIXTY-THREE COLORED PUBLICATIONS OPERATE THEIR OWN PRESSES Twelve Hundred Skilled Colored Workers Are Employed In All Departments Of Business. WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug 9. No approximately one thousand one hundred and ninety eight colored people in virtually every trade and occupation, and sixty one white workers, form the working personnel of 113 newspaper- and 14 magazines owned and directed by colored proprietors in 30 States and the District of Columbia. The grand total of 1,258, which also includes approximately 185 female colored workers, is made up of the following trade inventories: Proprietors or masters 201, editorial and clerical workers 203, formers 68, compositors 103, biotype operators 70, machine 21, admen 32, make up men 38, florner 16, photographers 21, stenographers 2, electrotypes 2, pressmen 84, bookbinders 36, mailers 104, and all other tradesmen 28. The 61 white workers, aside from four of their workers, exclu- sively comprise the electroplying occupations of the 127 publication workers, are sparsely distributed from lineup operators to mailers, and other skilled to unskilled occupations. The 127 papers and periodicals are further classified as 96 secert, 23 religious, and 8 fraternity publications of whose number 38, 22, and 3 are published weekly, monthly, and daily, respectively. Two are monthly issues and of the remaining two, one is religious and one is a quarterly publication. Sixty-three of the above publications maintain and operate their own presses and an additional seven combine a general printing and publishing business for contract work of a book or job nature. The composing work of seventy of the publications is done at the plants by skilled colored compositors and their associates. These statisties are taken from a summary of the papers and publishing industry by Ph.D. H. Brown of U. S. Department of Labor, who conducted an inquiry among the 330 publications listed with the Department as of 1918. Of this number, 42 have suspended publication since that year, and 181 of the smaller papers failed to respond. Associated Negro Press RALEIGH, N. C. Aug. 9. The Durham Machine Gun Company of the North Carolina-National Guard, has been ordered to Raleigh to guard three prisoners who were rushed to the state prison here following their arrest in encection with an alleged attack on a white woman and the shooting of her husband near Southern Pines, N. C. recently. A. E. Ketchen of Miami, Fla., and his wife, who were enroute by auto motorist, from Miami to New York, had been brought to the near South Carolina Plain.

They were filled with men, but made no attempt to interfere with the guards. McMahon Promoted By Standard Life Mm. O. McMahon St. Louis is given place made vacant by calling of John R. Pinkett to Atlanta. At a recent conference of the officials of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., it was decided that Wao, O. McMhon, a St. Louis, be placed in charge of the important Eastern Missouri District which consists of the entire Eastern important cities as Hannibal, Louisiana, Jefferson City, Cape Girardeau and Poulin Bluff, with Branch Office at St. Louis. Mr. McMahon has been with Standard Life since October 1919, and was the first Missourian to see his wonderful possibilities and to give up a regular salary to cast his lot in the insurance field. During this time he has made himself well known in the business world, and particularly so in the insurance Field. The position which Mr. McMahon holds was until recently filled by Mr. Pinkett, who arose from the entire complexity and set quite a precedent by resigning from one of the highest positions in Summer High School and in the face of a promotion as Head Assistant, to go into the insurance business. Mr. Pinkett has vindicated his judgment by winning the entire promotion and, being called to Aberdeen to take his new duties. Mr. McMabon has contributed much to St. Louis in a business way, being the original organizer of the New Ace Building and Loan Association, the only other financial institute in the city. He is the first among our citizens to be incorporated for $100,000.00. His activities in the real estate business, in which he has engaged quite successfully, have enabled him to render service to many and all who are in anyway acquainted with him and his feelings. He feels that his success in his new capacity is assured, and that the splendid work which, Standard Life has been doing will be carried on with a maximum of efficiency.

Kerlin, whose open letter of protest addressed to the governor of Arkansas against the execution of the twelve colored men convicted in connection with the Phillips County riots of October, 1819 led to his dismissal from the Virginia Military Institute, has recently assessed the headship of the Department of English at the State Normal School at West Theater, Pa. This information has been used by Kerlin to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made public today. Although himself a Southerner, Prof Kerlin refused to remain silent at what appurred to him a great travesty on justice and his letter unempromisingly arraigned the governor of Arkansas the trials of the colored men, and the wholly unfair conviction of the slave owner, against his share-cropping system, which they were being robbed, were nosed of plotting to "massacre," white people. This letter received wide spread publicity and resulted in airing the Arkansas cases in a way that was exceedingly distasteful to the Arkansas authorities. His summary dismiss followed the publication of Mr. Kerlin's letter, a subjection of this new and better position in a state in which sedentary ship and homestay are more highly guarded than Va. is a step on which Mr. Kerlin is being heartily congratulated. Community Service Inst. Annual Session Closes Associated Negro Press Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL. Aug. 9—The annual institute of the *Community Service organization* closed one of its most important centers that is the consortium of opinion among the many friends of the Community movement in this city. Eiblaborate demonstrations of how Community Service works among the people were presented among which was a "Street Festival" that showed how public throughgirls could be used after skateball for public movement—and gave purpose. Alasch Avenue in Chicago was used for this demonstration, but the fair made an instantance hit with the public. Miss Ada Cregman also made a demonstration of the dramatic and pugnant work of the Service. This part of the programme was presented at the fine arts building of the Chicago University of Music in Michigan. Avenue at 57th Street. Beside giving an extended talk concerning the operations of her department Miss Cromman also presented members of her staff in a series of character parts that were cathastically received by actor parts that were guttually astonished the large audience present. The characters appeared in beautiful costumes designed by the dramatic staff. A Masque, "The Sowers," names after the 1922 class and written by Miss Evelyn Crawford of Philadelphia, was presented at the Vincennes Hotel on Thursday night of the second week. It was heartily applauded. A banquet preceded the Masque at which addresses were delivered by Evelyn Ship Wallace, Dana Deming and Evelyn Crawford, the director of the second week of the Community Service. The Toastmastress of the Banquet was Miss Thelma Taylor. The class history was read by Miss Gene White, the class creed by Miss Evelyn Crawford, the class prophecy by Miss Laurie Earle, and the class poem was read by R. F. Miller. Songs were readed by George Johnson, Pearl McIlrell and George Crump. Thirty talented young women and men, gathered from all sections of the country, were in attendance at the school which trains workers who go forth to develop recreational activity in cities interested in community welfare. A feature of the school was the mention of the "Explorers" last year's group. To investors: Having bought bonds now consider railway stocks.

BY MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your name; its history; meaning; whence it was derived; significance; your lucky day; and lucky jewel. IF CAN truthfully be stated, with out fear of pouting, that Patricia is a patrician name. It signifies "noble" and comes from the Latin patr- father—father—which was the source of "patria," the "father and." The patrician were the privileged class of Rome since its members were descended from the original thirty fathers, or patres, Patricians, meaning the noble, was the title given to the young Roman-British Colonies who was stolen by Irish pirates in his youth and, when renamed, returned as an apostle to the land of his captors, bringing the name of Patricia which is so popular and so reserved in Ireland, in memory of the patron saint. Patricia is a Scottish invention, according to etymologists. The name made its appearance there as the feminine of the misnature Patricia which was the Scotch form of Patrick. Though Patricia spread to England and won great popularity there and later found vogue in Ireland, no attempt has ever been made to change its form or spelling. Patty, which is often thought to be the diminutive of Patricia, has no relation whatever to the noble name b is the diminutive of Mary, in its rightful sense, and means 'becoming bitter'. The ruby is Patricia's talismanic stone. It is the gem of kings and promises for its patronian daughter courage, a dauntless ambition success, and bodily health. Wednesday is Patricia's lucky day and 7 other lucky number. (Copyright by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) WHY? IS THERE "SILK" ON AN EAR OF CORN THE substance which we term "silk" on an ear of corn before it has been banked and cleaned is really the father, of the corn itself, because each little grain on the ear has received sustenance—has been "fertilized" and enabled to reach its full growth—by means of the threads of silk-like construction. Each ear of corn is composed of three principal parts: the grains which grow on a cob, the silk and the husk. The function of the latter is merely of a protective nature. It keeps the driving rain and the burning sun from damaging the tender kernels or grains, which are the seeds of the plant. But each one of these grains must receive its supply of pollen-powder if it is to develop into a large, juicy, tempting moss or if it is to grow into a fully developed seed which, in turn, will produce another stalk of corn. This pollen gets from the silken fibres which appear even before the grains themselves are well differentiated, while they are almost indistinguishable marks or fldges upon the cob. But even then it is possible to tell just how many grains of corn will appear upon the full-grown ear. To do this it is necessary only to count the strands of "silk" for each one of these fertilizes a grain and exists in bringing it to maturity.

HOLD ELECTION stoners of this State several months ago to place the Knights of Pythias of Arkansas in the lamps of Receivers but the order won in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County and the case was appealed by the Commissioners to the Supreme Court of Arkansas where it is now pending. The suit was filed by the R. of K. R. because of the alleged disregard of records in the office of the G. K. R. and contributing funds to the Elaine prisoners. This information was supposed to have been given by members of the trader who were candidates for office at this Grand Lodge. There were a number of members in a certain section of the State who have been aspirants for offices in the Grand Lodge and who having failed to obtain these office, the billat at the annual Grand Lodge sought to have removed the present incumbent whose offices they were seeking. In their efforts to discredit these officers against whom their guns were pointed they tried to make it appear that the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal was responsible for the disappearance of certain records that were wanted by the commissioners, whereas testimony exonerated the officer's court conclusively connection at all for the disappearance of the records in questions. Two months prior to the law suit the Insurance Commissioners and made an exhaustive investigation of the office and books of the G. K. R. S. and rendered every commendable report with respect to this particular office. It was then only the report made by the Commissioners, members who were disatisfied with the order into court and endeavored to introduce such evidence as might reflect on the integrity of some officers of the Order. Knights of Pythias in Arkansas The Jurisdiction of Arkansas is the third largest jurisdiction in the country. Having more than 19 thousand members with assets totalling more than $250 million than a quarter of a million dollars, it extends through the hands of the G. K. R. S. years later in the past five years has it been shown that there are any irregularities in the conduct of this office. In November 1921 an office *building and theatre* was completed at a cost of nearly $70,000 and no more beautiful building can be seen anywhere in this country. In this *building* are the offices of the Grand Chancellor and G. K. R. S. The reality holding amounting to $150,000 and other assets amount to more than $50,000. With such efficient competent and aggressive officers as Mr. Henry Arent and Mr. Fred D. Morleil directing the financial affairs of the theater, it is looked forward to the time when jurisdiction will be the closest in the whole country. No other jurisdiction in the country has as one of its chief offices, son who is as young as Fred D. Morleil and it will be good news to he mates and friends who were in Howard University with him from 1907 o 1910 to know of his phenomenal success in the business world. The office of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal boasts of one of the most efficient clerical forces in the country. Assisting Mr. Morris is Mr. C. Logan, Jr., Washington, D. C. who has been a student in some of the caddying universities in the country, and who has quite a bit of office experience in the Government and big business houses of Chicago and Chicago. He organizes the offices of the office and the latest business methods are used in handling the offices all efforts are made to develop a closer spirit of cooperation and better understanding between the officers of the mythians and the subordinate lodges throughout the jurisdiction. The next annual session will be held in Hot Springs the National resort the fourth Tuesday in July 1923. OYER BILL NOW READY FOR SENATE DEBATE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) various states, a judge of a United States Circuit Court, two former United States Attorney-general and many other eminent jurist have signed a memorial to the Senate demanding passage of the bill. These facts must be clearly in mind by every person who is interested in the bill and we must likewise keep them in the minds of the members of the Senate. "The action of the Judicially Committee is gratifying for a number of reasons. We have many opponents of the bill. Those we know how to answer and checkmate. But, unfortunately, we have others, some of them colored men and women, who have been rushing into print declaring that the bill had no chances of passing. We have persons will now join'm in, in the great effort necessary to put the bill through the Senate. We urge every person in the country who is interested in this measure to send a telegram to each of the senators from its state and to Senator Henry Cabot 'edge, Republican Leader of the Senate, urging immediate vote on the bill. "We are extremely fortunate in having Senator Shortridge chosen to lead the fight for the bill. He is the one member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary who has all along held the Dyer Anti-Lynchings Bill to be entirely constitutional. A number of members of the committee have favored the BILL and pledged their support, but were doubtful about the constitutionality of certain of its provisions. Senator Shortridge has all along stood one hundred per cent for the bill. Furthermore, Senator Shortridge is a brave fighter. In the Discussions which took place in the Committee he never hesitated to meet the stock arguments of the Southern members of the Committee with a frontal attack and demolish them." When these Southern members put up the argument of white man to white man in the BILL to shortridge Bill were enamed it would evade the crime of rape among Negroes in the South. Senator Shortridge met them with facts and statistics and hammered them into silence. "Moreover, the choice of Senator Shortridge is fortunate in that his heart is in this legislation. I had a long talk with him immediately after adjustment of the Committee and I believe that the Senator looks forward with great satisfaction to championing this measure on the floor of the Senate. "Three-fourths of the fight is over. Let us all work together as never before that the rest of the distance may be covered before the November elections." SENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON PLEDGES AID ON THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California, one of the most powerful figures in Congress, has pledged himself to intervene where lies in his power in behalf of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which was presented favorably by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, on July 28, according to an announcement made today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In a letter addressed to Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the Advancement Association Senator Johnson said: "I duly received your letter of July 14 relating to the Anti-Lynching Bill. I have been in touch with this bill, while it has been pending before the Judiciary Committee. Many questions arise concerning the various previsions of the bill, and the objections in the opinion of the majority of the Judicial Committee, were finally met by amendments, and the bill favorably presented in common with you and with all American citizens. I ask upon the enforcement of the law and abhor its violation. There is no need upon our civilization than mob violence and lynching. The bill now presented by the Judiciary Committee meets the evil and endeavors to afford a cure. I am very glad to do what lies in my power in behalf of this measure. I may say to you that just before the bill was reported by the Committee, and when its alleged defects were remedied by amendments I sent to California, in response to communications from there, a brief statement of my attitude. That statement, I enclose to heren. The statements formed "The Senate Judiciary Committee is about to report the Anti-Lynchming bill with certain amendments designed to cure what were asserted to be constitutional defects. Every law abiding citizen, of course, abhors lynchning and any remedy for what has been a blot upon our civilization, be gladly welcomed. The present bill as about to be reported to the Senate seems to meet the evil and outcries to provide cure. I shall be very glad to render what assistance I am in its passage." The Advancement Association in making public this pledge by Senator Johnson expressed considerable gratitude to the unequivocal stand by the Senior Secretary of California. It was felt that the galaling of the fortunate ally an senator Johnson means a greatly enhanced opportunity for him in securing passage of the bill by securing passage of the bill. Do You Want The Negro Trade? See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper WHY MISSOURI NEEDS A NEW CONSTITUTION When 'Liberties' Can Not Run Parallel Or Cannot Be Co-Extensive: The Liberty Of One Person Ends Where That Of Others Begin Section 3 Assumes That All The People Have Decided Upon Involuntary Segregation Of Some Of The People. Must Omit Word "Male" By Benjamin F. Bowles, St. Louis Delegate To Missouri Constitutional Convention. PART TWO WHY MIS A NEW St. Louis Delegate Says Most It Is Inexact And Equi Much Was Left For I PREAMBLE IS MISLEADING, MUCH TO When 'Liberties' Can Not Re Or Cannot Be Co-Extensi Liberty Of One Person Where That Of Others By Benjamin F. Bowles, S The Constitution of Missouri, which has served the state well for some forty-eight years, is in good form, as state constitution go, and it is not to be treated lightly or dishonored. However, the mere fact that the people of this state have seen fit to call this convention for its revision, is a sufficient intimation that the constitution is generally considered in some way or way other defective or inadequate. The other defective or inadequate the constitution is the Bill of Rights. Imply a paraphrase of the national Declaration of Independence and the national constitution—participant Section 4. Article II—it partakes necessarily of any defects that inhere in its distinguished predecessors. Written as they were in a time of great stress and strain, when a handful of colonists had rebelled against and had measured their arms with those of the greatest military power in all the world, it was both natural and necessary that the wording of these documents should make the highest possible emotional appeal and induce the highest possible state of civic expectancy and spiritual elation. So the language is inexact and equivocal and by no means so precise as to set up a practical working basis of civil government. Much was to be read "between the town and the patriot was permitted to read into the documents whatever he might most esteem into them, superhuman spiritual exaltation being necessary both to military success and to the hardly less difficult task of allaying the intense jealousy existing among the colonies which had been held together so far only by a common danger. We are familiar, with the general rule for legal construing, but this rule must give precedence to incontrovertible facts from which the question to be construed is inseparable. Does it mean all the people or some of the people; and if the latter, what people? Knowing as we do that the constitution was violated, the people privileged to vote at the time of the constitution it necessarily follows that the expression, the people" does not mean all of the people. In the expression, "for the better government of the state," the word "better" is defective it being an adjective of comparison which here relates to nothing in particular. Further, it is the privilege and the duty of all governmental schemes to hold accountable, in which, on account of the qualification of the word "better," the Preamble does not. ARTICLE II SECTION 1. "Vested, in" is unnecessary and may be misleading. Who could have done the vesting? A faithful translation of Section 1 would be to the effect that all political-power that all government some of the people, that all government some of the people, with some of the people, it is well known that at the time of the adoption of the constitution there were sex and other limitations on voting, which is the fundamental act of government, is clear that the government must include all of the people, and the question arises what "whole" SECTION 2. Agafa 'the people' SECTION 3. Eridynity, the voting people are referred to here. SECTION 4. "General welfare" is indiscrete and is necessarily a matter of opinion. Perhaps it may be as well to be indiscrete where that no government is better than the government it deliberately perpetrates. "The people" occurring again here seems to be put in direct contrast with "all persons". Are the people, immediately after, different from "all persons"? It seems that such a distinction is intended. "Life" is here inappropriately confused with "existence". We exist to the end that we may live. The realm of the abstract and the absolute is seriously imprecise conditions of existence are seriously imprecise with life becomes impossible. That conditions of existence of certain shares are seriously and arbitrarily imprecise with be the dominant class or society in the largest that life is Section 3 Assumes That All The People Have Decided Upon Involuntary Segregation Of Some Of The People. Must Omit Word "Male" impossible is unifiable. Nothing more to prevent or pervert life than an abiding sense of injustice. If we give to the word "liberty" its "usual and ordinary" American meaning, we shall understand that it is the right to do as we please. Exen the dictionary says it is "freedom from restraint" or "unrestrained enjoyment of natural rights"; whereas, it should mean the absence of external restraint in thought, growth and accolade; as there is no interference with the same freedom in the same matters and to equal degree. Whenever liberties can not run parallel or can not be extensive, the liberty of one person ends where that of another begins. Does one enjoy fully, if at all, "the gains of his industry" when he is restricted by the law, or in consequence of the law's neglect, from the acquisition of things or occupations, usually purchasable, and under the same conditions under which they are acquired, the fat denials or plethy and irritating restrictions to which a certain general class of theoretical citizens are subjected in matters of public accommodations such as a municipal institutions, hostels, hotels, restaurants, theaters, picture shows, supervised public parks and an infinite variety of things which can not be recalled or antiquated by laymen, sleivers, dentists, photographers, and a hard stock of other professional people and artisans do, or may draw the "cover line" in myisting ways and with it a particle of reason. A here returning from France, decorated with all of the medals of all of the "associations" of the city, must be able to acquire the fundamental necessities of existence, in many places in Missouri, and the constitution has nothing to say to the contrary. A government which demands that any of its citizens meet the supreme danger and, if need be, that they make the supreme sacrifice over it to these necessities the common decency that nothing be withheld from them that the law can command. No fault can be found with the last clause in this section. It states the serious and solemn truth; but the situation, taken as a whole, is a slightly paraphrased governmental platitude, handed down from generation to generation, which meant nothing in particular at first and means even less now. In addition to its marvelous indefiniteness it is ineffective in that it is not in any sense mandatory; it accomplishes nothing; and nothing can be initiated under it. SECTION 5. "That no human artistry can control or interfere with the rights of conscience" should be omitted or "one's right to have an opinion" should be substituted for the "rights of conscience." Much of the trouble now too obvious arises from an interpretation of the rights of conscience of this section, as it is given each individual to conceive them. Many of these interpretations are so extreme as to be unarchiatic. SECTION 8. Contains a class discrimination which we have sought to cure by Proposal No. 152. SECTION 9. What can be meant by "free" in this section? In the light of limitations on voting which are well known to have existed and which we have mentioned in connection with previous sections. SECTION 10. Here "injuries" "right" and "justice" need to be so defined that essential denials may not occur. The inequalities in the branda of justice handed out to persons of different ranks in many, if not the majority, of our courts are glaring. This condition breeds a great deal of the unrest now existing. Equality before the law is a condition seldom attained. SECTION 11. The word "unreasonable" is not defined, and, as a result, there are frequently shameful inequalities; and this provision does not prevent search or leakage without warrant. SECTION 25. The words, "excelsus," "cried," and "annual" are so indefinite that inequalities amounting in many cases to tyranny may and do occur. SECTION 29. Under an adverse interpretation of ( "peaceably" ) and ( "their common good," the rights of desecration, for reasons apparently legitimate and praiseworthy may be and should. SECTION 30. Here we have again a basis of the most abused word liberty" which, in this case, to be the prerogative of staying out of jail. Can this be the same liberty mentioned in section 47. The St. Louis Argus begins where freedom ends. Note again our citation under Section 4. SECTION 32. Again, what, "people"? **ARTICLE I V** SECTION 4. "Male" should be omitted. SECTION 6. "Male" should be omitted. **ARTICLE V** SECTION 5. "Male" should be omitted. SECTION 19. "Male" should be omitted. ARTICLE VIII SECTION 2. "Male" should be omitted, also the cuture provision enabling allies to vote. And if in any other section not mentioned the word "male" occurs it too should be omitted. ARTICLE XI SECTION 3. This section assumes that all the people have decided upon the involuntary segregation of some of the people, presumably for the good of all of the people in some manner not stated. It must be clear that the restriction herein applied to children of African descent is opposed to every principle of law, philosophy, economics, ethics and religion. The theory of separate but equal accommodation is one sold in if ever realized. Further, there is an intimation a stigma for which buildings made of marble, plated with gold and silver, are not in existence. The whole scheme is a practical denial of the theory of a common humanity; and a limited citizenship is a modified shyre. Empathy and, as far as possible, identity under the law is the essential condition of democracy; for where equality under the law does not exist democracy is not possible. Basic rights if the ministry is ever man rule. It is a reversion to the law of might: The state is the entire body of citizens, acting in their corporate capacity. In the corporation called the state all stock is common; none is preferred; everybody is on the ground floor; and there are no special privileges. We have heard of the alleged police power of the state-religious to the alleged right to enforce segregation. The police power of the state is a fictional except in so far as it may be provided by general law. All power comes from the state, and it functions as the state, have more power than that which is the aggregate power of all of the individuals composing the state, then the whole is greater than the sum of all of its parts; and we shall have to study our mathematics new. Let us look at this question of enforcement segregation, in so-called public from another angle. It will be noted that the state is not to that in that in the constitution of Missouri appears in all of the former slave states and, in addition, in the new state of Oklahoma. It will be noted, on the other hand, that either no mention of race or a clause forbidding any race restrictions or considerations occurs in every other state in the Union, York, for instance, contains the language "the state is not in the world. The schools there are as free as the air, and there is no race problem. The same is true generally of the states of the North East and West. What is the matter with the South in this connection, with which Missouri seems to have preferred to identify itself? Is it that black folks are so much worse in these the other states or is it that the white folks are so much worse, and what is the reason? The contrary is not complimentary to somebody. As a matter of fact slavery—and it existed for a time as far north as Vermont—was at first 'an economic question; then it became a moral one; next—a political one; and it long had constituted the foundation of the social system of the states in which it existed at the time when it was theoretically abolished. The sociological world the law of fourths of a pound of condition tends to perpetuate itself prejudices die hard; reason slowly makes way; justice is tansy; and traditions persist. There are strong tendencies to defer to the things that were and to the things that are on the general principle that "whatever is right." There is dislike and contempt for the different. So segregation of people of African descent is to the former slave holding class, "the heirs and assoigne," the symbol of a tradition, the monument to a more or less bad fiscal; the constant reminder of an imperial past; and the ladder of self-admitted all-nature and illusitable "superiority" to all other things white, yellow, blue or green in this world as any other. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, AUG., 11, 1922 said. They are but the victims of circumstances. Action and reaction are equal and applite in direction; and the South has become, in turn, the slave of its traditions. Again—It probably has not occurred to anyone that Section 3, Article XI, under any reasonable procedure, is unenforceable; but such is the fact. When one is suspected of the crime of being of African descent, the burden of proof rests on the such authorities. If the suspect is too enough to admit his "guild," the matter of course, is determined; but how can it be proved? Black people of the purest Aryan descent come from India, Ceylon and other places. People with all of the theoretically negroid features and characteristics come from the Philippines, Polynesia and certain other places. What if the suspect claims an alibi? And what about the erudition of certain Egyptians, Arabs, Moors and Boors, who are actually Caucasian but certainly of African descent? "And, ye gods and little fishes, what about social equality?" some "gentle reader" demands. No discussion can be quite complete without reference to this great American invention. Whenever colored people ask for their ordination, they are usually rights as the absence of which citizenship a farce and existence an increasing indignity—some one is supposed to ask; "What! do you people want social equality?" Some fool, speaking for the people of "African descent," and usually without authority, is expected to utter a stentorian and is supposed that everything so soft" is supposed to the ceremony is repeated. It is really expected that this clever scheme will work indefinitely. Any being who claims that he does not desire the right to select his own friends or to be selected by them—who does not claim the right to associate with anyone who cares to associate with him is a vicious, creepy manuscript or a contemptible purveyor of previocation. Nothing better can be said for him than that he is the logical product of an inseptious and unhealthy environment. Everybody knows or should know that civil rights have nothing to do with social rights; they should know that they are not such thing as social rights; they should not accept or reject a social privilege; they should know that every social relation is a two-sided matter; that of selection and being selected; and they should know that it is only when two people have selected each other that the condition of "social equality" arises; and that it can arise in no other way. The law can not create social equality; and that it cannot create anything everybody in jail and keeping them incommunicado. The law has no right to regulate social affairs and no means for doing so. It may, of course, determine and regulate matters of public decency. If for instance, officers of the law are called to tell a disturbance at some social gathering they are not serving and may not deal with it, dealing with a breach of the peace. Th Governor of the state never gives my social affairs; neither the constitution nor the statutes provide for my. Of course, Mr. Gardner may have done so and Mr. Hyde may do so, but the 'Governor' has never done so and never will. Let it 15 clearly understand that no public qualifier is involved in the equal or even simultaneous sharing by the various so-called races of their common civil rights. ARTICLE XIII SECTION 1. "Male should be omitted and 15" changed to 21. on the theory that all who share the prerogies of government, as expressed in voting and office holding, and only those should bear the responsible face of government, must regularly bring off such conditions making military operations necessary. There are sins of commission and sins of omission, and it is the latter respect that our constitution is a very great sinner. Because of the general principle of the subordination of women, recognized in the constitution, the legislature has at various times passed medieval laws in considerable number and in great detail which operate greatly to the disadvantage of women as we know it. Our constitution our alleged intelligence and alleged high civilization. These restrictions, lying outside the constitution and being also well known to all of the members of this committee, need not be stated here. Also, on the basis of the suggestion of Section 3, Article XI, citizens of alleged African descent are the victims of various restrictive laws, denying this privilege and that, adul infiltum, thus establishing in the country, practically people generally, the idea practically people generally. Historic Dred Scott Devision. These restrictive laws need not be stated here. They also are doubtless well known to this committee. We do not claim that this list of class restrictions is all-inclusive. We rather think it is not: but such a provision as is contained in Prepara No. 298 will clean up the statistics and prevent further excesses on the part of future legislatures. Such a provision is necessary to the civilization, peace, happiness and general well-being of the state.

Remember that the angle of the urban social problem be emphasized in the many discussions at this conference. In composting on the work of the Urban League, John T.

I have argued the matter before the Committee to which the proposal was referred, and, on the request of the Committee for specific citations, I have submitted a comprehensive written critical analysis of the Constitution as it relates to class restrictions. In general, I have done about all that it is practical for me to do, except vote; and the outcome of this effort to secure the full and equal rights of citizenship, will depend upon the kind and amount of pressure that is brought to bear on the members of the Convention from the outside. Legitimate lines of influence are as follows: 1. *Pettitions*. These should simply indicate that the persons signing favor or making Proposal No. 298 a part of the constitution. They should make no reference to the author of the proposal nor to anyone else. 2. *Individual letters to the Convention* or to any of its members particularly delegates from the writer's own district. Letters or petitions may be addressed to the delegates from the Convention to the Convention, to the President of Congress, to the author of the proposal or to any other member of the Convention that the writer may happen to know. Such matters should take advantage of personal acquaintance and personal interest, whenever possible. 4 News and editorial articles in the press, including as far as possible the white newspapers as well as the colored. The newspapers are more influential than anything else in shaping public opinion. It is highly important to secure the active interest as much white individuals and white specialists as possible. The interest of white people will be even more effective. But such expressions of interest and sympathy will avail nothing unless they come before the Convention in some definite form. you will be glad to hear him again and again. He is wonderful in soul saving, preaching, praying and singing. Hear him for yourself and then you will know. He will be assisted by his father, two brothers and Bethel Baptist Church of which he is pastor, K. Bowman, secretary. U. N. I. A., INTER-NATIONAL CONVENTION IN SESSION Associated Negro Press NEW YORK Aug. 9—Marcus Garvey, seemingly undoubted by the bitter arrangement of William Pickens, Alderman George W. Harris, and others, because of his views with reference to the Ku Klux, is "carrying on" here, attracting wide attention by the annual international convention of the U. N. last throughout the month of August. His supreme excellence, Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Afroën, and president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, endroned on a diad and clad in a long velvet gown with red and green stripes, the annual convention of his association, the preliminary work of reclaiming Afroën for the Colored man. A few hours later Garvey changed to a resplendent black navy uniform informed with red stripes and gold braid, coppered off with a gold covered admiral's hat, and he marched at the head of his followers in a parade through Harlem. Directly behind him in the line of march yam his supreme highness the potentate and supreme commissioner of Liberia, landed by the jubilee Johnson, of Liberia, landed by the Riggs chaplain general, and such lesser inaries as the consul, general, surgeon general and other general officers of the movement. Trailing behind these "digitaries were the plain people. But, few were so plain that they did not appear in uniform, and most uniforms, black, red or green, had gold braid, and were not sparingly decorated. MARCUS GARVEY AGAIN WEDS Press News Service BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 9. — Marcus Garvey, "provisional general of Africa," president general of the U. N. S. A., was married to Miss Amy E. Jacques here last Thursday morning, and immediately after, the ceremony took place in New York City. Mr. Garvey gave his wife Miss Jacques at 26. "The present Mrs. Garvey gave her address as Kansas City, Mo.

Garvey's first wife secured a divorce from her husband, but he failed to support her, so that he was intimately acquainted with other women. LAUGHTER PAGES 7 TO 12 Indications Are The Party Will Have Even A Harder Task Holding The Negro In Harness Than In 1920 Flying Squadron May Have To Be Sent To Different Sections This Time, Race Fallitly Disappointed Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Aug. 9—Western headquarters of the Republican National Committee have been opened for the fall campaign at the Congress Hotel-famous as the great political center of the West, John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican National Committee, Senator Medill McCormick, chairman of the Senatorial Committee, and Congressman Will Wood, chairman of the Congressional Committee, game to Chicago and man the speech. The speaking and publicity for the entire West will be handled from here, while all the other features connected with the campaign will be handled from Washington. Colored Americans, throughout the nation are anxiously awaiting the developments of the campaign this year. Who are the speakers? What will be the public argument of the Harding administration to appeal to the Colored American voters? Will the "Old Line" political spell binders who have through many strenths campaigns directed the votes of the black people, again appear on the stump for the cause of the G. O. P.? Will the cause of John Johnson, Isaac Nutter of New Jersey, Nathan W. Fleming, of Cleveland, William C. Matthews, Boston, Robert L. Vann, of Pittsburgh, George W. Harris, of New York, John R. Lynch, of Chicago, and scores of others too numerous to mention, be in readiness to bow to the assembled populace and point the way to Republican victory? There is no denying the fact that the attitude of Colored American voters is somewhat different from what it was at the beginning of the 1920 empaulage. Then. It was anticipation; today. It is realization. But, it does not happen to be altogether the realization of the dreams of yesterday. Then. They have been keen, and often bitter dissatisfaction in the trend of the Hurding administration, it will be the first duty of the empaulage managers to overcome this feeling. Northern Democrats, it is generally known, are going to make a strong bid for Colored votes on the strength of the present conditions. Henry Lincoln Johnson, as the only Colorad National Committeeman, will be called upon as a member of the organization body, to stand in the forefront. Perry W. Howard, as assistant Attorney General; Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, as an officer in the veterans bureau; Arthur Pace, as Recorder of Deeds; Phill H. Bruce, as Department of Labor; W. S. Searson, as the Agricultural Department; Tiffany F. Flipper of the Interior Department; Tiffany S. say nothing of the numerous lesser lights, will be expected to assume the burden of national defense. If it may be regarded as a burden The publicity this year will no doubt be one of the features. Rather than look at the achievements along the line of the individual office secker or the views of President Harding along a particular line, especially as members races, the people will be told of the Republican administration along those lines. They will be told that practically all of the people who desire work at this time are able to get it; that the Limitation of Armenian; Conference was one of the great achievements of the world; that the tariff bill is almost ready for conference and the President's signature; that the cost of government operation has been reduced to dollars and other things relentlessly be of interest to all Americans. It will be late in September before all of the primary campaigns are over, but the campaign committees are not going to wait until the last minute; they are beginning to be active now.

The coronation of Lane Taber made beauty Queen, last Monday night, was one of those occasions when unfortunally every one had made up their minds to be happy. From the opening of the program by singing America until the presentation of the prize to the Queen, there was just one joy and thrill after another. Those present were all friends and admirers of Miss Willette Person. The Queen; who rumped away from the other two contestants and piled up a total of 4,820 votes at the close of the contest. Votes were five cents each, this equaled a cash sum of $241. Miss Person received over three times as many votes as both the other contestants, and over four times as many as her closest rival. We don't know how it happened. *** ask Mrs. Emma Bradford, manager of the Person division. The most pleasing part of the program Monday night was the Queen's expression of gratitude. After which there was much applause. The victory carried with it a trip to Chicago, and the Queen will depart for that city within a few days. *** The N. L. Smith Club of which Mrs. R. L. Lewis is the president served dinner to a host of people last Sunday. This was a part of the immense crowd that heard the splendid message delivered by Rev. N. L. Smith, last Sunday morning.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Copyright, 1932, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR AUGUST 13 ESTHER SAVES HER PEOPLE LESSON TEXT—Esther 3:1-9:32 GOLDEN TEXT-The righteous cry, and the Lord heath, and delivereth them out of all their trouble.-Psalm 34:17. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Matt. 20:30 20:32. 6:16-18, 12:1, 2. PRIMARY TOPIC-A Brave Young Queen. JUNIOR TOPIC—Esther, the Brave Queen. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A Heroine Worthy of Imitation. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Rendering Sacrificial Service. 1. Haman's Wicked Plot Against the Jews (3:1-4:3). 1. The occasion of (ch. 3). Mordecal refused to how down to Haman whom the king had elevated to the place of prime minister and commanded that rescence should be shown him by all the princes and servants. In order to get rid of Mordecal Lippman formulated a scheme and secured the king's endorsement to destroy all the Jews. 2. Fasting and mourning among the Jews (4:1-3). In their distress they sought the Lord. They did that which all those who believe in God had a right to do (Jas. 5:13). 11. Haman Checkmated (4:47:10). 1. Plot made known to Esther (v. 4-8). Mordecai appeared before the king's gate clothed in sackcloth. This condition was reported to Esther by her mails and chamberlains. Upon his refusal to put away mourning Esther sent Hatach, her special attendant, to find out the cause of it. 2. Message to Esther (v. 8). This was in the form of a charge that she go unto the king and make request for her people. 3. Esther's hesitancy (vv. 9-12). This was on the ground of a certain law which made it a capital offense for anyone to come into the king's presence unbidden unless the king should extend clemency by holding out the golden scepter. The fact that Esther had not been called to come in for thirty days would seem that the queen was in disfavor. 4. Mordecai presses her obligations (cv. 14, 15). (1) Her own life was involved (v. 13). She might meet death if she went to the king unbidden, but most certainly she would meet death if she made no effort to avert the danger. Being in the king's house would not save her, for the decree had been made against the race of which she was a part. Her silence on this occasion would mean death. (2) She was not God's last resort (v. 14). He argues that deliverance would come from another source. God's work goes oh and His purposes are fulfilled regardless of the decisions of men. (3) Reminds her that she had probably been rilised up for this very work (v. 14). Every one has been born and prepared for some definite work. Gods providence brings us into the particular circumstances where we can most definitely do His will. 5. Esther meets the call of duty (4:15-5:3). (1) Preparation by fasting (v. 16). She instructed Mordecal to gather together all the Jews in Shushan and fast for her for three days and nights. She with her maids did the same. (2) Went into the presence of the king (5:13). Having made the decision to do her duty regardless of consequences, after due preparation by tasting and prayer, she presented herself in royal apparel in the presence of the king. She decided that the best thing she could do was to lay her life on the altar. "If I perish, I perish" ought to be our watchword when face to face with duty. (3) King's promise to Esther (v. 3). He assured her that her desire would be granted even to the half of his kingdom. 6. Haman hanged (4:47-10)) Esther was shrewd as well as courageous. She invited the king and his prime minister to a banquet. At this banquet she proposed another for the following day, at which time she promised to make known to the king her request. Haman went home jubilant, but that night something occurred which turned the tide. The king discovered that no reward had been granted Mordecai for having saved his life. Haman is compelled to exalt Mordecai, and at the second feast the queen revealed his wicked treachery and he is ordered hanged on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai. 111. The Jews Delivered (chs. 8, 9). Human was dead, but the decree against the Jews still stood. Esther plead that it, be reversed. While it could not be reversed, through her influence another decree was sent out which in a large measure counteracted the first. The Jews everywhere were granted the privilege to defend themselves and destroy their enemies. The Parting of the Ways. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord—Joshua 24:15. For Cowards to Lie.

Aug. 9—Three thousand people paid less than a penny apiece to see Edward Powell, a one-legged man, stage a "death dive" from Harahan bridge into the Mississippi river 110 feet below last Sunday afternoon. Powell drowned before all could reach him. According to reports Powell announced early last week that he would make the dive on Sunday, but would precede the performance with a collection which he intended to use to buy himself an artifactal jimb. This announcement appealed strongly to the sympathies of the people and a large multitude gathered to see Powell perform the jimb. The collection brought only $25.91 but Powell was game and stated that he was a man of his word, and went through with the exhibition which ended fatally. Gr. Jury To Probe Lynching MACON, Ga.

They have their little heralds When the cyclone is in the distance, the light breezes, steadily increasing, precede it. The leaves rustle, loose blits of paper stir and fly up. Anon the trees begin to sway and crack—shingles and tin roofs loosen up and fly about—and with these little warnings and disturbances the storm finally breaks on our heads. There are signs of the approaching storm of a racial conflict in some northern communities. Colored people and white people who want to avoid this terror must begin "to look out" and check these causal signs. Southeastern and southern sentiment are beginning to insult, and in some cases even to assault colored people on the cars and in other public places. We know they are Southeastern, because they so often say, without realizing the cowardice of the expression, "If you were down where I came from", or "Where I live, niggers don't —" or some similar expression to show that all that they need to make them jump on them to "lick" him. And they are so dull that they do not see the cowardly reflection upon themselves. The civilized white people and black people of the North, who do not/want savagery, brutality and blood, had better be getting their heads together to check these uncultured animals of both races and all colors.—for there are naturally some colored people who are just as big foods as these foods from among the whites.—and when two such opposing fools by chance come together, there may be a spark which will fight a great fire. The colored people, however, are naturally much more prudent in public than the raw element from the South.—for circumstances are against the colored man. We have seen many cases of such conflict. In not one case out of ten was the colored person the aggressor. It can be said that as a rule colored people respect the public rights of white people in public places. Interracial committees should be organized among white and black in the north as well as in the south. THE SPREADING MADNESS To all lands the white man carries his mad way of life. His wealth, his mechanical marvels, his knowledge of medicine, his confidence, dazzles the native even when his indulness jars the native's delicate courtesy, as in China. He mines and tunnels; buffalams, bridges, railroads; tears out building and wilds streets; with Bible, machine gun, order book, and serum he pushes into the wild fresh places and the still, ancient places, builds his own homes, enforces his own laws, spreads his own customs and speech. His magic words go with him: Peace, Justice, Liberty, Progress, Civilization, Industry, Commerce, Religion, Honesty, Morality. Soon the younger natives are learning these magic words in the mission schools and the official newspapers; and the international press agencies talk sweetly about the White Man's Burden. But alas! there are always natives who don't know what's god for them. Strange things appear in the news: "Rolls in Sigma; Martial Law Proclaimed by French;" "British Turn Fire in Haitians;" "Surround Spanish in Morocco." Correspondents rush out, and report all well except with a few agitators; the white authorities have done wooders in cleaning uncles, and trade is beginning. The white man's slaves plausibly over the goodness of his own heart. His burden is a heavy one. A thankless job. But nobody be goes on with it. Here and there a liberal paper hints that there is something rotten which the news agencies seem always to overlook. Natives murmur that the White Man's Burden is mostly gold and spices and rice and sugar and tobacco; that while raks of Holy Matrimony and the Sanctity of Woman, he is taking native women for himself; that he is too busy teaching natives to turn the other check to learn to do anything of the kind himself; that with all his learning in mechanics, and medicine and his shrewdness in commerce, he is rather dull and longfaced who doesn't seem to know what he is living for and can't enjoy his wealth when he gets it. But these murmurs are drowned out in the hum of white man's news through telegraph and cable, just as the cries of angry mobs are drowned in the battle of machine-guns. The white man's voice reaches the far places of the earth; the voices of brown and black and red and redlow men matter and whisper in a neighbor's ear and die in the buzz of neighborhood gossip. So it comes that in each land the natives repent the 'white man' we wrubs about the natives of other lands, and about all the white master's enemies. This Colored American, too, though he sees how the white American lies about him, swallows the white American's news from Russia and Turkey, from Persia and Morocco, and looks on the Chinese and the Hindu and Korean as 'men of another world; sometimes he even sneers at his neighbor in Mexico and 'at the Peruvian and Nicaraguan. He sends black missionaries and black soldiers to spread the white madness which lynches him and degrades white man and Colored man alike. Does he want to die with the white? Or will he live with him? Lightening Destroys School Priston News Service ATLANTA, Ga.

A BUSINESS PERSON'S HAND WOULD you succeed in business? Study your hand carefully, and note whether the palm, the fingers, the mounts, the lines, etc. bear the indications which have been found through study, to make the hand of the successful man or woman of business. In the first place, the hand should be of good size, and inclined toward squareness, as indicating practicality of mind. Next the consistency of the hand should be firm, as showing energy. The top phalanx or division of the thumb should be large and well-shaped, for this indicates good wall-power, which is so necessary if one is to win success in the work of affaig. Reason and logic, also necessary qualities in business, show themselves in a well-shaped second phalanx of the thumb. Then turn to the finger of Apollo the third or ring finger, and vote whether the middle phalanx is long and well-shaped. If so, it indicates a love of work, which leads of course, to success.

By trudging on with smile and song To make my burden lighter. I'll face the music, come what may— My heart with hope is throbbing. The work that faces me each day Each daily Stunt I'll do my best. My efforts best recording; Content that God will do the rest And care for the rewarding. Young King Boris of Bulgaria is so hard up that he is selling his cellar stock of wines and liquors to Sofia hotels, at $2 a bottle. Boris, twenty-seven years old, has hooked most of his autos. He has only three servants, two guards, and has stopped all court functions and entertainments. His father, before exile, lived in the extravagant luxury of an ancient Chinese emperor. A result of the war: Imperialism is on its last legs, even where it hasn't been kicked out entirely. ONCE IS ENOUGH P.L. Crosby KRAFT IN TINS ASK YOU Mother's Cook Book There is no age limit.

You are never old until you think you are SUMMER SALAD DRESSINGS DURING the warm weather salads appeal to the appetite and furnish the right kind of warm weather food. One may vary the three standard salad dressings even beyond the fifty seven varieties. French dressing, which is the simplest of all dressings, is prepared with oil, vinegar or lemon juice with seasonings. The proportion of oil varies with the taste, for the average taste four tablespoons of oil to one of sharp vinegar is considered about right. Season with salt, cayenne, a pinch of powdered sugar, heat well with a Dover egg beater and serve chilled. Mayonnaise is prepared with the above ingredients in different measures with the addition of the yolk of an egg. Beat the egg yolk, add oil, a few drops at a time, beating until thick then add to a cupful of oil four to five tablespoonfuls of vinegar, adding the vinegar a few drops at a time until the mixture is very thick, then oil and vinegar may be added a teaspoonful or more at a time. Seasonings of mustard, powdered sugar, salt and cayenne are added to taste. The well-known boiled dressing may be varied by adding oil or cream or simply cook the beaten eggs with vinegar diluted to make it less acid. Beat well while cooking and then when wanted the seasoning may be added with whipped cream or other ingredients. There are unooked dressings galore which may be prepared from sour cream and are especially appetizing. Beat one-half cupful of cream until thick, add one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, and three tablespoonfuls of vinegar very slowly, heating constantly. Add cavernine and mustard if desired. Nessie Maxwell (© 1927, Western Newspaper Union.) THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "SCHOONER" THE word "schoon," which came over with the Dutch from Holland, was used for many years in New York and in New England as a term to describe the peculiar movement of stones or flat pebbles when skipped along the water, and it is from this that we derive the word "schooner" as applied to a certain type of sailing vessel. The first schooler ever constructed is said to have been built in Gloucester, Mass., about 1713, by Capt. Andrew Robinson. The boat was laid out along novel lines, in order to produce a maximum of speed and she naturally rested on the water, rather than in it. Hardly had the sails been set for the trial trip, than a bystander cried out, "Oh look how, she scoops along!"—meaning that the craft hardly seemed to touch the waves, but skimmed along on the surface. Robinson instantly replied: "A scooner she is!" and, from, that time to this, vessels thus masted and rigged have gone by this name, though an "h" has been inserted as the third letter. The use of the same word in nineteen-prohibition days to designate a large glass of beer is more difficult to spice but it probably had its origin in the foam on the top of the glass—a substance which appeared to be anaglyphs to the white caps of the ocean for certainly no one would try to "scoon" a "scooner" of beer, over the water; for on the whisper syndicate, try Associated Negro Press Education is always the true measure of progress. From this viewpoint advancement of the Negroes has been even greater than from the standpoint of economies. In 1806, 90% of the colored population was illiterate; in 1919 only 20% was illiterate, a gain of 70% in literacy in fifty years. At this rate of improvement it is a question of but little time when there will be practically no illiteracy among Negroes in America. Negro education is by no means limited to grammar school courses, but proportionately measures up to the higher standards of academic vocational and professional learning. When they were Elected, the Negroes had only 15 colleges and Normal Schools; now, they have 500. Then, they had 100,000 students in Public Schools; now, they have 1,800,000. In all schools fifty years ago, there were about 600 Negro Teachers; now, there are 38,000. The value of property for Higher Education then was about $60,000; now, such property owned by Negroes is worth $22,000,000. The annual expenditures for Negro Education then, was about $700,000; now it is about $15,000,000. Of these expenditures the Negroes raised, then, $80,000; they raise annually now about $1,700,000. The "Separate School" system in the South which forbids blacks and whites attending the same school, colleges, universities, etc., while a hardship upon Thegroes, has not been without its distinct advantage to the colored race, in the long run. Were the Negroes in the South to be educated at all they were forced to the necessity of providing the means of their own education; at last, it was necessary for them to have separate schools. While the per capita part of the Public School funds were available for the Negro Schools, and while distinguished individuals of the white race demonstrate their ability to "Educate" and to become "educated" or else their aspiration to maintain and enlarge the means of their education in the South was doomed to disappointment. How well they succeeded, the facts and figures, the distinguished attainment of scholarship by many Negro individuals and the general average of information and intelligence among Negroes in the South, give emphatic testimony. The high standing of Negro Schools, Colleges and Universities in the South is unquestioned in the educational circles of the Nation. Of course, the Negroes with gratitude acknowledge the help they have received from their white friends. The name of the late General Clinton B. Fisk, together with that of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the one who founded the great Fisk University at Nashville, Tennessee, and the other who has done and is doing so much to aid Negro education in the South, have become household words throughout the land. The names of many others, did space permit, might be mentioned for conspicuous aid to Negro education. This fifty years of progress has demonstrated that Negro education is not an experiment. There is no longer any question of the Negro, as a class being able to master and successfully apply the Arts and Sciences; creative and imaginative, gifted in expression and fervent in spirit, he excels in music, poetry and oratory. Estimating future possibilities by past achievements in Negro Education, within another fifty years, in intellectual attainment and educational culture, this strain of blood in America will be second to no other. BEAUTY TALK Associated Negro Press My dears, I had an excellent chat planned for you today, following up my recent discussion of skin troubles. I was going to discuss the relation of food and correct diet to the perfection of the skin. I had planned to steal the thunder of the author of an excellent little book about women's beauty and head my talk with a quotation from Hetty Green, which, says "Good food is the basis of good conduct and subsequently of happiness." But as I was struggling along towards my daily labor, I happened to see a lady making such a nervous display of her many rings that I instantly decided to talk about hands. There is nothing preffer, or more beautiful than a well-shaped, clean, quiet hand. And there is nothing more repulsive than a dirty, unkempt hand, an awkward, over ringed hand, and nothing so distracting as a nervous hand. Of course none of us are born with Gainsborough hands these days with slender tapering fingers soft white palms shell-pink nails carefully shaped and satiny hairless skin stretched smoothly over wrist and arm but by the Queen of the Nile we can go a long way towards surmounting the obstacles that lay between factors. After all the oil requirements for a pleasing hand is smooth skin, soft palm small knuckles, and clean well-shaped nails. When you see little sister or brother or whatever the relation is, with a thumb or finger in the mouth stop him instantly. They will not understand now, but when they are a Little older point out the luckless child who has a finger or thumb smaller than the rest, or twisted, because of the constant sucking, not to mention the protruding displaced teeth. -When the boys get together and engage in the universal sport of "wracking" knuckles, stop them, for little girls sometimes join in and none of them should have their future marred by unsightly knuckles. If they complain that the sleeve is too tight or the mittens too small, humor them, for any lightness causes poor circulation, and poor circulation causes "kitchen scallions, hands" red and hard. And that goes for us as well as for them. I see my poor straying sisters who have come away with some buns also gloves, and falling or get their fingers in, have fastened them at the wrist and turned back the glove itself. There is their flesh already bursting teeth, and yet they wonder why their hands don't look like Mgr Jones!

Stars Win First Two Games From Indianapolis A. B. PAGE TWELVB AMUSEMENTS AND SPORT By H.T. M. Stars Win First T From Indiana Local Team Hits Its Stride A The Indiana Capitol. T Hard Losers And Finally feited Game On Tuesday. lation By Winning On W The St. Louis Stars were on their winning stride during the past week and captured three of the four games played against the Indianapolis A. B.C.'s. One of the three victories came over the forfeit route on Tuesday. Sunday's game was tightest of the four. The Stars winning on the Indianapolis started Mar. 12 and were forced to send Jeffries to his relief in the fifth inning. The Stars had their batting tops on Monday and won 9 to 5 with Oblum up. The locals knocked Carr out of the box and treated Ross, his successor, but little better. Thirteen hits collided off their combined deliveries. Stars won 9 to 5 against the Indians. B.C.'s continued to argue with Umpire Shuster after he called play. The argument came in the seventh inning when Bell caught Mackey at second as he attempted to snatch down while Bell was holding the batt. The visitors claimed Bell had committed a ball but the Umpire said that his motion was inimitable for the game, which the officiated pulls his watch and warned Manager Taylor that unless his team took the field within one minute he would forfeit the game. At the end of the minute he announced the forfeiture with the score 9 to 1 in favor of St. Louis, on the third of the previous days and defeated the Stars 9 to 3. Hampton held the locals to six hits while the visitors pointed Finer out of the mound. Garley who succeeded him, held the visitors to their seven runs until the ninth when the foreign team added two more runs, making the total nine. On Sunday both teams battled evenly for four innings, the score at the opening of the fifth round being 1 to 1. Two bases on balls by Meyers and Charlotte's double gave the A. B. C. run in the run. The Stars promptly checked that lead by scoring one in their half of the third inning. After one was out a hit lattitude and Holly tripled the count, the game ended with Charlotte's until the fifth inning began 6 hopen. Euglena and Charlotte delivered high runs in this round. Euglena's run came with the bases unoccupied but Charlotte's foul pty smacks, arrived with two runners on the paths. The Indianapolis hitting stove made them 1 to 4 favorite but the locals almost even matters before the fifth inning became blistering. On the bays the guys jogged on the bays gave the runs and made the score 5 to 1 for the visitors. In the sixth Blackwell's triple to McAdoe, Holt and Ray provided four runs and the lead beached on three run lead. The lead proved sufficient to win the game as the visitors even caught up although they came within a run of fieling the count. The few runs came in the seventh and were the last scored in the second. A A. Clark and Charles double netted the visitors the two markers. The locals had scored an 8 to 7 victory. A. B. C.'s Farfit on Tuesday On Tuesday, the A. B. C.'s argued themselves out of a perfectly good ball game when they refused to take the field in the last half of the seventh inning. They were beating 5 to 1 and the ball game was called off, so sailed in the game being forfeited to the locals by a 9 to 9 score. The visitors had scored three runs in the seventh when Mackey was on first pitch in centerfield single. He made a break for second and Bell stepped off the rubber and throw second baserunning Mackey with ease. The visitors claimed Bell had made a motion to first and wanted the ampire to call him out. Bell had shouted on motion first and after a few minutes of argument by the entire indianapolis team, he pulled his watch and announced to Manager Taylor that he had one minute time to get his team on the field. Taylor started toward first and claims that he was going to get his glove but made Mr. Damnell, who worked on the ball game, self-delivered down the field and continued standing near the plate comm BOX SCORES # Sunday's Victory St. Louis Stars AB H I O A E Heatty ss 3 1 2 1 0 Holt, bf 4 2 3 0 0 Ray, c 5 3 6 0 0 Brockwell, cf 3 3 2 0 0 Dudley, rf 3 0 1 0 0 Russell, rf 4 1 0 0 0 Milton, ff 2 0 3 1 0 McDougall, lb 2 1 3 1 0 Brooks, lb f 4 0 7 1 0 Myers, p 2 0 1 3 0 Totals 34 11 27 12 0 Ind.

THE RULE COVERING A FORFEITED GAME After Tuesday's game there were some of the spectators who thought the umpire had not given the Indianapolis team sufficient time to take the field before forfeiting the game. According to the rules the umpire was within his rights although most officials are more lenient in putting the rule into effect. For the benefit of those who are in doubt as to the ruling we herewith quote the section of the rule contained in Table 28, Section 4 says. A forfeited game shall be declared by the umpire in favor of the club not in fault if after play has been suspended by the umpire, one side fails to resume playing in one minute after the umpire has called "Play."

Every good baseball fan likes a good story of the diamond. Those who go the rounds with the ball players have a fine chance of getting something funny most every day. Some are good, some better, and all are at least good. Catcher Mackay of the Indianapolis A. B. C. Club tells a good one on his team. Ross is pitching for the A's this season. According to Mackey, who builds from Texas, Ross also a native of the Lone Star state once pitched for the same club that Mackey and it was digging one of those games that the following incident occurred. "We had packed up and headed into the jungles of Texas," said Mackey, "to play a team in the sticks, that is, more in the stick than the burg from whence we had come from.® Ross was a great pitcher then, as he is now, but he did not have any too much control in that day, because it was a tough game for the opposing players to come near the plate. This worried Ross considerably, causing him to try to be extremely careful about speeding 'em over. Ross tried to be careful all right, but that was all, the more he pitched the wilder he got and finally slowed down. Long, slow, backwoodsman came to him, and waved his bat preparatory to hitting his customary home. It did not serve to help Ross' control any. Finally he sent over a hot one that barely missed the batter's head. The next one he was deterred to put over the base and let the batter pit it if he could. He hit it hard, hitting the seat 'em up the next regular one he won't bail. 'Crack it!' he hit the batter on the top of his head as he tried to dodge in vain. "Folks, you should have seen that guy," laughed Mackey. "That speed ball knocked him cold as a Turkey on Thanksgiving day." Mackey capped up a bit from his laughter and continued, "When we were leaving the park a short later we passed the play, know in those days we would have to tangle our owy balls and that was one day we had furnished the balls and we did not wish to lose any. As we passed the players we noticed a large bump on his head. Ross was suspicious thinking that the players were trying to get away with a ball. Look!" said Ross, "that guy has a ball in his cap," saying the foot was under the bump and the fun game the foot, said then the fun game. Instead of a baseball it was the lump caused by the blow on the head in the pitched ball. That fellow alarmed the village as those pressed his finger, over that lump.

JACKSON-WILLS BOUT AUG. 29, ATTRACTING WIDESPREAD ATTENTION Ohio Man Who Will Oppose Dempsey's Challenger Is One Of The Hardest Hitters In The Heavy-weight Ranks Today. Preston News Service NEW YORK CITY, Aug 9. - Perhaps the most important heavyweight battle of the year is scheduled to take place on August 9, the day the Hardy Who the Hardy Better New Orleans' (and also of New York) and "Dutti Jackson," the phenomenal 21-year-20 Washington Court House, Ohio sensation, meet at fabeles field. Never in the annals of ring history has a heavyweight between colored fighters assumed the proportions of this match now practically assured. The fight is to go 13 rounds, to a decision, but few persons, who know the quality of the two men, expect the fight to go the entire distance. A judgmented things out with the New York Boxing Commission after Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, had expressed his satisfaction over the terms. Had Been Hanging Fire The contest had been hanging fire for many weeks prior to WILS signing, and McMaryane had gracefully upgiven up when he wrote his article in the New York Sun which resulted in a signed document being sent to Chairman William Muhloh. The document as the most important heavyweight match since the Dempsey-Carpenter affair at Boyle's Thirty Acres last July the year ago, and the question now being propounded is 'cam Turt Jackson, with his wonderful knockout record, give Harry WILS the FREE neld, testy? There is hardly a question of doubt, but that the Buckeye youth, with his natural ability, ranks as the most formidable opponent of Wills on the fiddle horizon. Six feet, two inches in height, weighing close to 200 pounds of slim and muscular, he is said to be one of the heaviest heavyweight ranks today, with a phenomenal reach and a shifty, almost impregnable defense. At least that is what the men, who have fainted in beware, his ox-like blows declare. But "Tutt" is an un present example of the theory oft related in pugilistic circles, that the best defense is a good offense. On the other hand it is generally conceded that Wills has never been forced to extend himself to the utmost extent possible while the Dempsey-Wills match is still on the griddle, might aid in crystallizing public sentiment to such an extent that Dempsey is literally forced into a ring with Wills. Wills' ability is well knwn and his wonderful improvement latter would tend to give the lie to the runner that he has seen his best days. For far it he is not known that the Norfolk and Clarke were of the skidderhammer weight—blows that traveled barely six inches, vet carried Wills opponents to dreamland. The measurements of Wills and Jackson follow: Wills Jackson 6 ft 2 in Height 6 ft 2% in 210 Weight 190 71% Reach 80% 17 Neck 17% 14 Furrow 10% 10 Wrist 8% 10 1/3 Biceps 17 4 Chest (nor.) 42 3 Chest (expand.) 40% 2 Wrist 31 2 Thigh 23 16 Calf 15% 9 Ankle 10% 2 Age 21 NEW JERSEY OPPOSES DEMPSEY-WILLS BOUT Pronon News Service JENSKY CITY, N. J. Aug. 9—If Tox Rickard is successful in finally landing, the proposed heavyweight championship match between Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey, it is certain he will not stage the affair at Royle's Thirteen Acres here. State Commissioner McNair, of the New Jersey Boxing Commission is reported to have sold: Harry Wills, the colored deighter, and Jack Dempsey, who is a white man, and Harry Wills, the colored deighter. "However, the ministers of this state are not so much opposed to the staging of the fight between Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler as they are against the proposed bout between Dempsey and Wells, and for that reason they intend, so I am told, a far more bitter argument against the holding of a miserable fight for the heavyweight championship. "Personally, I think Dempsey and Wells should settle their difference in a state aside from New Jersey, and I intend to do all in my power to prevent staging the bout here." The attitude of the New Jersey Boxing Commissioner is but another effort to find a loophole through which Dempsey may jump to keep from meeting Wills. It would seem to the casual observer that there is a concerted movement on foot to assure the white champion of the heavyweight. The constant dodging of Dempsey himself and the strategic moves of his many white friends are but indications that they fear the crown will pass to a colored man if Dempsey should meet Wills in a championship bout.
