LIBERIAN LOAN BILL IS KILLED BY U.S. SENATE n Exponent of Truth and Justice LIBERIAN BILL IS BY U.S. Very Little H Dyer Anti-I thirteen Republicans Help Democrats To Refuse Five Million Dollars To The Little Negro Republic. PPOSED BY SEN. REED en. Harrison Makes False Senisational Charges Effecting Prominent American Colored Men. WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. 23. the Liberian $5,000,000 Loan Bill is beaten in the Senate yesterday then thirteen Republicans joined with the Democrats and voted 42 to 3 to shelve the measure. President Harding and Secretary Hughes had rged the passage of the bill, and senators, Judge and Curtis, the door leaders of the majority, labored the last minute in an effort to hold their colleagues in line. Opposed By Reed Senator Reed of Missouri fought against the bill. He debarred that the proposition to advance this money to alberia could not be justified on any round. He said that only one out of very 500 Liberians is civilized and not back in the bills, less than fifty miles from the coast, many of the inhabitants still practice cannibalism charged that. If the loan was made a large part of it would go in the pockets of "lobbyists," who, he said, would be paid for their illegal activity in getting the bill passed. Sensational Charges A charge that five prominent Neroes had a contract to obtain $650,000 if the Liberian Loan Bill should ass was made in the Senate by Pat Harrison, a Democrat from Mississippi. Senator Harrison named the men three of them live in Washington—Ernest L. Scott, Secretary of the forward University; James A. Cobb and William L. Houston. Attorneys he other two named by Senator Harrison are: William H. Lewis, of Boston, a former Assistant Attorney general of the United States and Rev. Joseph of Baltimore, a former minister to Liberia. Charge Is Denied. The charge was vigorously denied by Senator Curtis, of Kansas. In charge of the bill, who said that the minor reported by Senator Harrison, like others, had originated in the senator's own fertile brain." "There isn't a scintilla of truth in any such statement," said Dr. Scott. The charges are laugahable and abolutely false," declared James A. obb "A fabrication out of the whole loth," was Houston's reply. Emmett Scott's Vigorous Denial Of The Charges WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 29—Drummett J. Scott in order to have his equal of the unfounded charge made in the floor of the U. S. Senate by senator Pat Harrison, has sent the following letter to Sen. Chas. Curtis of Kansas in charge of the Liberian loan Bill, for insertion in The Congressional Record: Dear Senator Curtis: In the further course of the Senator's statement naming the five persons he mentioned by name as one of the "five persons" who are to receive tax, or commission from the Liberian government in case the Liberian loan Bill is passed. No matter by whom inspired, no matter through whom the information reached the Senator. Irish most emphatically to deny the truthfulness of these charges. I have no claim against the Liberian government. I have no contract of any kind or character whatsoever with the Liberian Government, or with any agent or official of the Liberian Government. I am to receive no fee of any character from the Liberian Government! I have "buttonholed" no Sagittar, or have I sought to influence any senator, to secure the passage of this resolution. For years I have been deeply interested in the welfare of Liberia. I have been activated, however, solely by a genuine interest in the struggles of the Little Republic on the West coast of Africa. I have never, at any time, stained to the Liberian Government, or Liberian officials, any relationship based upon contracts or understandings to the effect that I may receive money from the Liberian Government. It is, therefore, exceeding unfair for the Junior Senator from Mississippi to publicly make a statement manifestly intended to unfavorably reflect upon me when he could most easily have The St. Louis Argus Senate Adjourns For Wednesday After The Republicans Fail To Get Bill Up For Consideration. OPPOSED BY DEMOCRATS Southerners Carry On "Most Scientifically Conducted Filibuster" For Two Days And Block Action. WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 29. Immediately after the Liberian Loan Bill was killed by the United States Senate Monday, Senator Shortridge of California moved to make the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill the unfinished business of the Senate. The Democratic wing, in opposition to the Bill and led by Senator Harris of Mississippi, immediately started a filibuster to block legislation. Bill Appears Dead The Senate tonight adjourned over Thanksgiving and the opposing forces announced that they will resume their attack when the body reconvene. It is understood that the friends of the bill will make one more effort to take up the bill for consideration, but the outlook now is that it will die with the present session of Congress. A Scientifif Filibuster The filibuster which lasted for two days was characterized by Senate attacks as "The most scientifically conducted in the Senate in years." Not alone did the Democrats show by their tactics that they were more bitter opposed to consideration of the Dyer Bill, but through their leader Senator Underwood, Alabama, sold so plainly. Senator Underwood taking the floor, told the majority leaders that the Democrats had determined to out the transaction of no business not even the confirmation of nominations, until the Republicans agreed to abandon the anti-Lynching measure. The tactics used by the opponents included objections to the usual course of dispensing with the reading of the journal, numerous quorum calls and presentations of amendments to the previous day's journal, on which invariably aye and nay votes were demanded. The whole situation is summed up in the statement made by the Democratic leader: "We frankly tell you that we are endeavoring to prevent consideration of the Dyer bill. If this bill becomes a law it will threaten the very fabrics of our government. But it will never become a law, and you Gentlemen on the. Republican side might just as well admit it now and give up the fight." been directly and correctly informed as to the facts in the matter. It is also most unfair to the junior Senator from Mississippi for him to have been made the dupe of certain Negro politicians from his own state who are seeking to feed personal grudges rather than to furnish the truth and whose false representations have caused the Senator to make statements on the floor of the Senate which he, himself, confesses he is unable to prove.

Church returned from South Africa, Tuesday, Nov. 14, on the Steamer Majestic, spoke briefly on the important work for which he is responsible in South Africa at the welcome reception given in honor of Dr. R. R. Moton at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday evening, Nov. 15. He stated that the vital problems confronting his Church and the native people in South Africa demand his return to the continent after spending a short vacation in the United States. Bishop Vernon was warm in his praise of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones whom he met in South Africa while the latter was a member of the African Education Commission. In the course of his remarks Bishop Vernon stated that Dr. Jones had "opened the door" for him in South Africa by introducing him to prominent Government officials, including Dr. C. T. Loran, member of the Natives Affairs Commission of the Union of South Africa, whose sympathetic co-operation had made it possible for him to enlarge the scope of his activities.

LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1922 SUMNER WINS FROM LINCOLN HIGH 5 TO 0 A Clean, Hard Fought Victory By St. Louis In The High School Grid. Game Thrills Large Crowd Summer High School and Lincoln High of Kansas City met Thanksgiving Day in one of the clearest and hardest fought high school grid games ever seen here. A muddy field and intermittent showers, made hard going for the boys of both teams, but the weight of the field seemed to give a small edge to Summer, which won by the score of 5 to 0. A rough estimate gives the Kansas City team about 135-10 pounds average while Summer average around 150 pounds. "If" and "maybe" were two words which flew thick and fast around the field, many fans seeming to think the light Kansas City team would have exhibited some startling speed if the condition of the field had allowed open playing. The Play The first kick-off by Summer took the ball to Lincoln's twenty yard line from which Lincoln played for three ten yard gains through straight line bucking an end run for 20 and attempted forward pass which was fumbled. Summer's beef counted in the next few minutes of play because the light Lincoln team, although showing some brilliant team work, and wonderful speech, considering the heavy field could not hold Summer. V. D. Dickerson, leading Summer's offensive with some brilliant defensive work by B. Smith, R. E. and real foot ball playing by the whole maroon and white squad took the ball to within two or three yards of a touchdown. Lincoln playing a kick in defense, lost the ball after holding Summer for the fortnight down and rapid work killed it where a Sumner man caught it on the 30 yard line. Three straight line bucks by Summer for only a seven yard gain were followed by Dickerson placing a beautiful drop kick square through the center of the goal. The first quarter is an example of the second and third a series of straight line bucks, short end runs and determined defensive work by each team when needed. Open play were notifiable by the absence Summer pulled six straight passes in the fourth quarter. The muddy field as well as fast work kept the game on a straight buck basis almost throughout. The big seemed to become slippery and several fumbles occurred which would have been serious if more speed had been possible. Real Sportsmen But few cleaner, more sportsman like iron games have ever been witnessed than was put up by these two bunches of boys. Observers could see that every man on the field was there to win but winning appeared to be secondary with the opponents to making a clean, manly fight. Between three and four thousand fans filled the grandstand at Star- Park and automobiles were parked for the whole length of the field. Summer rooters gave a pretty exhibition in the serpent parade with the boys wearing maroon and white and solid maroon and solid white sweaters. The band was out, weak but valuab- and with a very little imagination spectators could think that they were at one of the big ten games.

C., Nov. 30.—Between ten and twelve thousand football fans saw Lincoln University win the annual eastern classic from Howard University today 13 to 12. Howard was slow getting started and did not solve the intricate Lincoln plays until the last quarter. The finish was the most exciting ever witnessed in Washington.

Strikes At Race Prejudice Crusader Service NEW YORK, Nov. 29—The root of race prejudice lies in disliking those who are not like ourselves, said Dr Felix Adler, senior leader of the Society, for Ethical Culture, Central Park West and West 64th St. in his Sunday morning address, analyzing the causes of "persistent race prejudice." "The law of supplementation, of the combination of differences, is what so clearly needs to learn." he continued. "The educated classes are beginning to learn it, but even there surprising instances of prejudice are found. The real solution lies in the realization that there is a measure of truth in every one's beliefs, whether or not they agree with your own. The habit of projudging a man because of the faults of the group to which he belongs is a bad one. Man is man, and his continuity of outline must not be merged with his group." Associated Negro Press. PENSACOLA, Fla. Nov. 29—Following deliberations lasting only nine minutes, a jury in the United States District Court here late Monday night found Shirley L. Cattis, former governor of Florida not guilty of the charge of having held in the state of negroage John Henry Rogers, colored.

Cruisner Service HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Nov. 29—It would appear that what wilt their opposition to Negroes, Organized Labor and non-Caribians, plus their moral regulations hobby, the Ku Klux Klan have bitten off more than they can chew. Yesterday, one Klansman was killed and two seriously wounded when five Carboids of the sheeted knights rain into an ambush of irate farmers at Marble Township, twenty miles north of here. The Klansmen were on a "law-enforcing" foray. Singular raids had been conducted against other sections of the county. The embattled farmers taught them a thing or two about law-enforcement and the opinion is that a few more such lessons and the Klansmen will confine the use of their sheets to their beds.

Hamilton Kiddies Korner By Ophelia R. Hamilton After the mother had missed taming. Baby Leaf did not say anything for a long time. She just kept her little face turned up to the sky watching the Cloud Ships go by at Naughty Wind's command, all the time thinking that he would go blow her away. In the meantime Mother Tree went on about her work sending sap down to her roots and getting ready to take a long winter's rest, when Baby Leaf called. "Mother will you tell me about this land of Slumber where all the other leaves have gone?" "Yes," said the Mother. "But I cannot tell you now, you will have to wait until the wind goes to bed, he might blow you away and I do not want you to go until you are ready. You will not have time to talk, you must hold on now with all your might and tonight I will tell you the story of the Land of Slumber." Mother Tree had not been about her work very long, when she heard Baby Leaf cry out "Oh," and one of her little hands let go. For Naughty Wind had come by again in a very big hurry and she was forced to let one hand go. Naughty Wind was rushing through the woods. He was already an hour late and all the leaves had on their dresses of red and gold waiting for him to take them to Slumberland. So on he went with but little time to stop. Each tree he passed they all jumped in his Wind-Charlot and away they went over fields and meadows, away up in the air and everywhere. Baby Leaf could hear them as they rushed down towards the big ocean. Then she wondered and wondered. If the ocean was Slumberland, she had not seen the ocean but she had heard two little children sitting against her mothers trunk one day saying, "The ocean was a large body of beautiful blue water with its beautiful white foam, floating against the shore, and pink and blue sea shells and seaweeds were at the bottom of it." How she long for night to come when her mother would tell her the story of Slumberland. "Naughty Wind" was very tired at nightfall and had decided to go to bed as Mother Tree thought, for he had been very busy and had done a great work as every one could see. Every place he passed he except a nice clean path and now all was still. What will Baby Leaf learn of Slumberland? 800 VICTIMS OF MOB VIOLENCE IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 1.—More than 800 persons have been the victims of mob violence in the United States from September 1, 1920 to June 1, 1922, according to a report recently issued by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Clay, of Colorado Springs, Colo., said to be carrying a pistol about the Harvard University campus because he received a letter signed "K. K. K." in which he was warned to leave the city. He is said to have told the police that while the note might seem a joke to Easterners, such a message in Colorado would be regarded as a serious matter. When advised by the Dean of the University to go unarmed, Clay is reported to have told the Dean. "Well, I'd a lot rather shoot somebody than have my body tarred and feathered." Clay is a sophomore and said to be a descendant of Henry Clay. He said he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, but withdrew because of its policy of "striking in the dark." FEDERAL JUDGE SCORES KU KLUX KLAN 'CHARLESTON. W. Va. Nov. 30. The Ku Klux Klan and "similar organizations" were scored last Monday by Federal Judge McClintie here in reading a charge to the grand jury. He declared that he has received communications which caused him to be believe that such an organization is becoming active in West Virginia. One communication, he said threatened an aged woman with punishment "for doing something which she had every legal right to do." "People do not wear masks, except to cover up something shameful" said the Judge in his charge. German marks : nearing the vanishing-mark.

Doyle's Tonic has become the "Family Doctor" because father, mother and children with confidence leave it to Doyle's Tonic to keep the whole family fit. A large, tall wontan, last week journeyed to St. Louis from the Suburbs. For two years she had wasted away to a shadow from diabetes. As an invalid, she could seldom remain out of bed more than ten minutes at a time. She came to St. Louis to testify before a Notary that it was Doyle's Tonic—"The Family Doctor," that restored her to her health. A young husband called for a second bottle of Doyle's Tonic, "My wife, building up. Her face is healthier and in everyway improved. Doyle's Tonic is her "Family Doctor," and beauty specialist. Many mothers voice the same experience—"My children have coughs and colds, have no appetite. With Doyle's Tonic, their coughs and colds vanish and they eat heartily. As a "Family Doctor" Doyle's Tonic removes anxiety about their children's health. Men for months, invalids with night sweats and run-down constitutions build up rapidly with Doyle's Tonic—their "Family Doctor." Their appetite returns, they resume their hard day's labor.

L. 812 The St. Louis Argus PUBLISHED WEEKLY BLACK SWAN RECORDS the arrogance and decoit of the spoiled boy, now come to the mother's rescue and place her back on her pedestal again. William Hussell in "Mixed Faces" will be the Casino Theatre feature this Saturday. The star plays a dual role. The intrigue and underhand methods of small town politics are revealed in an entertaining and thrilling manner. On Sunday, Tom Mix will be seen in "Do Or Dare", replete with the adventurous undertakings of this bold and brave hero of the screen and possesses a rollicking drolery in its unridding which is refreshing and delightful to the jaded mind. "Burning Sands" will be presented next Wednesday and Thursday. Next Friday, Earle Williams and Rudolph Valentino will be seen in "Do or Dare." Its a crook story. All theure and glamour of gay Paris with its social events, its cabarets, its Bohemian life and its famous police system are revealed in stirring and dramatic scenes. THE PENDLETON "The Fast Mall" will be featured at the Pendleton Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The story starts at the sensational Dixieland Steeplechase and follows wuth lightning-like action until the fast three scenes fade from the screen. Whirlwind hurdling, dangerous spills, steamboat explosion, desperate races by horse, steamboat, train and automobile, life and death strangles in the water and in a burning building, rescues from death in the river and from the flames at a hotel fire, the human life net and the escape as the walls crash to earth. On Thursday and Friday, Thomas Meighan will be seen in "If You Believe It, Its So." It is the simple tale of how one man's faith cured another man's crookedness. THE CRITERION "Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight" will be the Criterion Theatre Special this Saturday. The story was suggested by the hymn of the same name, and the pathetic tale of a country boy who follows the lure of the big city is unfolded in such a way that it is bound to grip the attention of all. Thomas H. Ince's thrilling drama of a dual personality, "Skin Deep" will be presented on Sunday In the story, a notorious crook was redeemed by an operation which changed the face familiar to the police and the underworld and gave him a new one and a decent chance in life. William Fox's screen version of Rudyard Kipling's famous poem "The Vampire" will be seen next Thursday under the title "A Fool There Was." Estelle Taylor is the vamp and Lewis Stone is the man who left wife, child and friends for a "rug, a bone and a bank of hair." THE LINCOLN "The Valley of Silent Men," with Alma Rubens will be featured, at the Lincoln Theatre this Saturday. The story deals with a Canadian girl who devotes her life to exoronate the man who, to save her brother's life, assumes responsibility for a murder of which the liter is accused. In the development of this story, there are many thrilling moments, while the finish is novel and dramatic. On Sunday the feature will be the Paramount Picture "Burning Sand." The glory, the joys and the paints of boyhood are still with Wesley, but he longs to be a grown up and wear long pants 'n everything. THE RETINA "According To Hoyle" will be the Retina Theatre feature on Sunday. The story finds its humor in the situation of an untrained, uncultured hobo trying to remold his life, strictly "According to Hoyle." It has a strong dramatic development, but because of the unique theme has been invested with comedy situations and amusing characters. While it is filled with laughs, it has a story with such an unusual twist that it will not be soon forgotten. it is claimed. David Hutter is the star. Preston News service. MOUNDSVILLE, W. Va.

CLEMENCEAU AND THE "BLACK HORROR" Associated Negro Press Senator Hitchcock, like a thousand other politicians with Germans in their constituencies, has indignantly demanded that M. Clemenceau explain the "Black Horror" on Rhine; and M. Clemenceau has explained very simply, as a dozen other Frenchmen have, officially and unofficially that there is no Black Horror on the Rhine, that, in fact, there are no black troops there. Colored folks would prefer to hear that there are black troops on the Rhine but no "black horror." But the Clemenceau answers, "the most logical, the one, most common made. It seems established beyond question that there have never been many black troops on the Rhine, that those who were there have been gone long time, that their record is good as that of the whites, perhaps better, and that the protest against their presence came not from Germans (who like other Europeans have a friendly curiosity about Africans, rather than hatred) but German sympathizers in America who wish to take advantage of American race prejudice. To be sure, France's unequivocal denials of the presence of black troops in Germany have been called false by Americans who have been there, but the American testimony has been laughably unreliable: Americans have classed all Africans, Arabs, Berbers and all—as "black" and "uncivilized." Strange words to apply to the Semitic Arabs of Morocco and Algeria, to the Moors, who sweeping into Europe a few centuries ago, found a land of rude people with a culture far inferior to their own. Obviously M. Clemenceau, considering the senatorial demands: only a green manifestation of American political psychology, really irrelevant to his main purpose in coming to America, as chosen the simplest and most effective question: is this an irrelevant question, this question of Hitchcock? I should like to speak to M. Clemencan about this matter. I should like to say: "Moncien, Americans call your country aggressive and militaristic because it maintains armies to protect itself against the crowding populations of Germany, Italy and England." Yes, England and Italy; not that they are now enemies of France, but—there is the future. England has always formed alliances against the leading continental power. France is now the leading continental power.) "We Americans who are trying to keep our lands open, to keep plenty, to maintain our boasted 'standard of living' against the peaceful immigration of poor and ignorant people from certain overcrowded portions of Europe we are blaming France because she is prepared to oppose by force possible war like immigrations from over populated neighboring landa Drop your courtey. Monsleur, and tell us what we ought to know; that the dangerous aggression is not that of shiny populated landa, whose people stay at home comfortably, provided by a living largely of their nation but that of the nation who—increase and multiply with a feeling that they are serving God with them they must break over the boundaries and subside and submerge their neighbors. Talk us, Moncien, that there are aggressive nations in accepting the help of other and aggressive races of different color and faith, are using the same thing they can do to protect the heads of those who live for the same purpose.

MANY NEGROES AT COMMUNIST CONGRESS American Negro Tells Of Wrongs To Race. Whites Promise Support For Negro Liberation. Crusader Service Moscow, Nov. 29—Among the Negroes represented at the Fourth Congress of the Third or Communist International, now in session here; those from America, form the largest and the most militant group, because they represent that section of the Negro race which is most awake and most race-conscious. There are many others, however from Africa, the West Indies and other parts of the colored world. At one of the full sessions of the congress here, the delegate were addressed for two hours by an American Negro, who analyzed the race situation in the United States and vividly painted the wrongs suffered by his race because of disorganization and treacherous and stupid leadership in the pass. He also told what the Nationalists were doing toward effective organization and courteous and wise leadership of the masses. White delegates speaking after him assured him that the Communists of the world were solidly feigned all oppressed races in their struggles to free themselves of the incursions of capitalist-imperialism, and quoted generously from the threes of the Central Executive Committee of the Communist friendship and interest in their fellow workers of the Negro race. Among the other Negro delegates were several from Egypt, one from Haiti and two from Nigeria. The South African delegation also reported delayed but on the war. The Negro colonies are the centres of interest for the white overcrowds from the United States. These latter received a terrible shock on the day of the great Red Tiger massacre.

Dr. Fred Palmer's WHITENER PREPARATIONS EGYPTIAN NATIONALISTS DEMAND PLACE AT CONFERENCE. Crusader Service Lausanne, Nov. 20—There are three Egyptian delegations in Lausanne, one consisting of puppets of the British and two anti-British, or Nationalist. The Nationalist delegations fused today and asked the conference Secretary to be admitted on the ground that Turkish sovereignty over Egypt disposed of by the Serves treaty is naturally before the conference which is to revise that treaty. The statement declares that Egypt regards herself as absolutely independent and not a British protectorate, protests against the presence of England in the Valley of the Nile and asks the powers to declare Egypt free. The Egyptians call attention to the fact that freedom of the Suez Canal is only mythical now under British control. The Nationalist delegation also sent a telegram to Angora congregating the Turkish Nationalists and asking them to lift the British roke from Egypt. The telegram also congratulated Angora on its choice of a new Caliph and declared that if England tried to establish the dethroned and repudiated Sultan in Egypt in an effort to divide and disrupt the Moslem world there would be revolt.

Installment WORKING OUT HIS OWN SALVATION Associated Negro Press The Negro's racial salvation, must be constructive. He must continue up on an ever enlarging scale to build institutionally for the welfare not only of his own race, but of society as a whole. One characteristic trait, greatly to his advantage is, that he is not so sinegy and selfish as the white man; he is biurotic, and a sport to his finger; he is constitutional tendency his intercourse with the slave thrift, when seasoned with sound judgment. It can but contribute to the general uplift of the race. The greatest sin of this age is selfishness. It is preeminently the material, grasping age. "Every one for himself, and the Devil take the blindness" is the spirit of the time. The dependent and the needy are mostly forgotten. Public causes and humanitarian benefits go begging. Yeir elapse before the Government recognizes an obligation to its heroes soldiers, and dominant political parties act in their behalf only from fear of loss of political preferment. This is an impolite, discoureous and selfish time. What people, what race, what kindred or tongue in: the whole wide world will be first to awake and be stirr humanity in a great movement back to "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man". This opportunity is open to the Negroes of America, if they will but see the vision and act accordingly. The colored race can work out its salvation very quickly, by entering whole-heartedly into every great and legitimate movement for the betterment of society. Not simply as Negroes, but purely as patriotic citizens, should they do this. If it is well for white people to overlook the fact that Negroes are black and to forget that their ancestors were slaves, it is quite necessary that the Negroes, so far as possible, do this same thing. They must rid themselves of the feeling that the white man has regarded them as "inferior." They must cease to dwell on the fact that their forefathers were slaves and no longer hold a grudge against white people because their fathers were slaveholders. The line of demarkation between the Negro and the white man in America, white physically distinct, is psychologically imaginary. It has been said that "The Mason and Dixon's line in which divides the North from the South has become a broad scar of honor across, the Nation's breast of prejudice, the rugged plains of prejudice between the Negro and the white man is becoming a Highway of Holiness, made smooth by sanity and fraternity, where black-meets white and together the twain go forward toward the Perfect Bay. Short Sketch Of Author Of "When Black Meets White" Associated Negro Press. John Lewis Hill is one of the finer spirits of the great Southland. He is a native of Tempessie and of that stock that stands for all of the better traditions in religion and the broader consideration of life here on this Earth of ours. He first saw the light of day in Galatian and received the final touchs of his education at the famed Cumberland University. Trained for the Ministry. Dr. Hill has passed many of the more important manors of the State of Indiana and Ohio. In recent years he has been numbered among the deservedly popular letters of the country. He is also a dillent student of European and American sociological conditions made at first hand by extensive tours here and abroad. As a member of the National Industrial Bureau, at Cleveland, Ohio, he has addressed more than a quarter of a million employees of the biggest in dustrial plants in the various sections of the land: He is the author of "The Tradition, a novel, and of "As Others See Us", a novel of exceptional strength" Ae. We Are" and "When Black Meets White", which is running serially in this publication, are numbered among his other important works. He is at present & member of the Chicago "Daily News" Lecture Staff. Nigger, A Novel by Clement Woods New York: The E. P. Dutton Co. of men. WHEN BLACK MEETS WHITE A Study of the American Race Pro blem by John Louis Hill, Chicago; The Arryle Publishers. It is a pittable fact that the to the crust of American society does no know what lies between it and the bottom crust of its curiously commingled elements. The bottom crust is comprised of its Negroic elements. The ton crust is comprised of whatever happens to come into one's first mind concerning the social ineptitudes of American life. The ferment of disorganization—the source of the real danger—lies between the top and the bottom, however. The social ideals of the nation are upheld by the governing elements with a varying power of elequence attractively voiced through distractingly self-centered. A plaintive simplicity echoes its actuation from the bottoms, where the Negroid elements preside, touchingly pathetic and, up to this time, trustingly believing. I have before me Nigger. A novel by Clement Moore—a poet of note and a writer of the present-day producers of American literature. It is a story of the spiritual struggles of Jake, a Nigger, from slavery times, on through the Civil War and out into the disturbing and hard found situations of the early emancipation period. There is Phoebe, the patient wife, who bears and rears a host of uncertain offsprings which is variously impelled of the good and evil ways of whatever happened to be the bent of their several social instincts. There comes in the due course of time, as we often say, the inevitable blood mixture and the forbearing tolerance of its presence that is recognized as one of the perplexing aspects of the Problem —Intimacy without Equality. Enunciation inherited it from Slavicity. It is the distinct arrestist phase of the story. Ophelia comes into the world as close to being white as it is possible for a Nigger to be and yet not be white. "She had heard whispered tales of Negroes who went white." These stories were specific. Marlan Turner had confided with glee that there were three—United States Senators two governors, and several representatives who were well know to all colored people as having the stain of Negro blood, although they passed for pure white. She had shown it to Phelys in a book—a book written by a white man. "Doily touched Yet there! lies the dragon." And tragedy of American life. Not tragedy for the negro life, but for the whites who stand struggle to stay at the top of America's social structure. The author makes no extended effort to philosophize on this aspect of the picture he is painting for the reader. In the chapter entitled, "The White Man's Law," he gives us a familiar view of the matriar in which the election laws operate in the South. Enunciation, among its other fever ridden dreams, brought the right to vote to the Negro. "What did you tell him?" the election commissioner asked Dan of Louis who had tried the experiment of registering. "Wut could I tell it? I sez. I sez.

"His voice trembled as he pronounced the dead word: his eye glaumed, and the utopian shibboleth, bright with a light that never was on land or sea or sky, and never will be." Presumably the author has the Negro in mind. It would be just as fair to conclude that he assented the author sets out to fill. Not too broad for his powers, perhaps. And yet was insistent met with. And yet was to be a confusion of crossing purposes which kept me from getting a clear outline of the characterizations in the story. I found myself constantly groping for a true perspective that would not come to me. I am convinced, though, that colored people can ill-afford to miss reading the book. There is freshness of spirit; a somewhat clear. If not needed, the differentations of social activities obtaining among the colored people; and altogether a hospitable appreciations of their aspirations to become past and perish of the general fate of things American. When Black Meets White is an interesting discussion of the Race problem by a Southern White minister that is effectively presented—and distinctly kraphetic in tone. It is divided into Fifteen chapters preceded by an introduction which strikes the following note: "To cure the lilies of the world and harmonize the discordant notes of life, the sum total of mankind, including both leaders and followers, must think in terms of mind, not in terms of matter." MISSISIPPII GOVERNOR AND LIEUT. GOVERNOR IN TILT OVER PARDONING NEGROES Preston Newa Service. JACKSON, Miss. Nov. 22.—It is said that the war of the Rebellion was caused on account of the Negro, and now a governor and his lieutenant governor are at war over two Negroes. "Governor Russell is as dead as Hecedr in Mississippi," declared Lieutenant Governor Homer Castle, who went to Memphis last Tuesday to carry on the fight precipitated last Saturday when Governor Russell raced from Memphis to the Mississippi line to block the pardoning of two Negroes by Lieutenant Governor 'Castle'. Castle said that he went to Memphis to gather information to prove that Governor Russell was in Memphis when the pardoning was done. He expressed complete confidence that his position would be upheld when the test comes. He was bitter in his denunciation of Governor Russell and said that the governor interfered solely for the purpose of getting into the limelight. He explained that he sighed the pardon for the two Negroes at 9:40 o'clock Saturday morning and that he had the advice of counsel that the pardons became effective immediately, their force depending on the fixing of the seal of the secretary of state. It is said that court proceedings will be instituted in the next few days probably at Greenville, to test the right of Lieutenant Governor Castle to grant the pardon. PITTSBURGH LODGE MAN PRAISES AMERICAN WOODMEN Preston News Service PTTNBURGHI. Pa. Nov. 24—"I am sorry that the American Woodmen was not founded right after the close of the Civil War," declared Anthony B. Rice, a prominent fraternalist, in commenting on the wonderful things the American Woodmen organization is doing for the advancement of the race. Continuing Mr. Rice said, "I belong to every fraternal order under the sun except the American Woodmen and would join them if I was not over the age limit. In the last issue of their official organ, the Runner, I read about their Building and Lean Department. I wish a copy of that publication could be placed in the hands of every Negro man and woman in this country who is, under fifty years of age. That article contains food for serious thought for my people and for members of other organizations which have been in existence for in these many years. "It appears to me that our only stock in trade has been a monopoly on fine feathers, pomp and display. But nothing concrete or tangible towards building up anything as far as business is concerned. "In a recent issue of the Journal I noticed that the G. U. O. O. F. claimed a membership of about 700,000; quite a good number, eh! Coming in existence about the year 1847 of National importance to the race, yet what can they point to as far, I mean as to the initiative of some national plan whereby that army as a group could be benefitted through opportunities of any kind—how many homes could they have purchased; how many places of business could we have had; how many of our own could have been employed? If we only had a tax of 25 cents per head—just figure what that sum would mean in a few years. If we meant business. But no, our thoughts have been in other channels, not business. Your hands of other organizations had better wake up and do something which will meet the hearty co-operation of all its members. "The advancement of the race in this country depends upon material advancement and not on ostentation, pomp and glamour. I regret that I did not know of the American Woodmen long ago. But during the rest of my life I shall strive to spread the news of this wonderful organization and endeavor to encourage young men and women of my race to affiliate with it." ROME, Nov. 20.—For the last two years representatives of the Mussulman people from Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe have been concentrating in Italy, especially Rome. Most of them are escaped political prisoners or native Nationalist who have been exiled by England or other Western nations who rule over the Mussulman countries. Despite the fact that they are from lands far away from each other, they have united in a great cause—the liberation of the whole Muslimman world from the yoke, rule, or influence of foreign nations. India, Turkey, Mesopotamia, Trans-Jordania, Arabia, Palestine, Tripoll, Tunis, and Algiers are in the league against what they call Christian oppression. SMELLES GAS, STRIKES MATCH, EXPLOSION, GARAGE RUNED. Associated Negro Press, DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 20.—When Ed. Greer, 37 year old Negro, lone occupant of the garage and servant's of the residence of W. H. Goodnight, of North Edgefield Street, was awakened on Sunday morning by a strong odor of natural gas, he lighted a match to see what was wrong. An explosion remitted that seriously burned Greer, wrecked the garage, blowing its roof for a distance of twenty feet and awakened sleeping residents for a dozen blocks on every side. Greer was seriously, but not dangerously injured. AFRICAN COMPANY SHIPS 44,000,000 COCOA BEANS Associated Negro Press GOLD COAST. Secondly, Africa.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool Lesson (Gy REV. P. B. FITZWATER. *D. D.* *Teacher of English Bible in the Moody* *Bible Institute of Chicago.* Copyright 1922, Western Newspaper Union JESUS SENDING OUT MISSION-ARIES LESSON TEXT - Luke 10:1-34 GOLDEN TEXT - The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; pray we therefore the Lord of the harvest that would work with laborers into the harvest.-Luke 10:2 REFERENCE MATERIAL - Matthew 10:1-42 PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Sends Out Seventy Helpers. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Sends Forth Seventy Missionaries. THE LORD AND SENIOR TOPIC—Heralds of the Kingdom. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Our Home Mission Work. 1. The Seventy Sent Forth (v. 1, 2). 1. Appointed by the Lord (v. 1). Only those should go forth who are appointed by the Lord. 2. Sent Forth Two by Two (v. 1). The purpose of this was that they might mutually help, counsel and support each other. 3. Reason for Their Appointment (v. 2). The harvest was great, but the laborers were few. The task before the Christian church after nearly 1000 years is still great. 4. Pray the Lord to Send Forth Laborers (v. 2). The realization of the prodigious task before us will cause us to pray to the Lord to send forth more laborers. II. Instructions Given (vv. 3-10). 1. He Reveals the Dangers Controlling Tliein (v. 3). They were thrust forth by the Lord to proclaim His name, though so doing would expose them to deadly peril, even as lambs surrounded by hungry wolves. It matters not what the dangers are if the Lord sends forth. 2. Free From All Incumbrance (v. 4). The mission was urgent, so all that would in any way hinder the speedy execution of the task was to be left behind. 3. Distraction of Social Intercourse to Be Omitted (v. 41). Eastern salutations were long-drawn affairs. To go into such formalities would delay Christ's messengers. 4. Behavior in the Homes Where Received (vv. 5-9). (1) Offer the peace of the gospel (vv. 5, 6). This is to be done regardless as to whether it will be received or not. There is a reflex blessedness in preaching the gospel. Even when the message is rejected the effort is not wasted, but comes back to the one who has made the effort. (2) Do not shift quarters (vv. 7, 8). Missionaries should remain in the home where they have been received, content with what is given them. They should not demand better food and more comfortable quarters than what is commonly provided. However, that which is given should be gratefully received, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. (3) Healed the sick (v. 9). These disciples were given power to heal the sick. The ministers of Christ should seek to give relief to those in distress and use every opportunity to proclaim the gospel message. 5. The Awful Fate of Those Who Reject Christ's Message (vv. 10-18). Their case is more hopeless than that of Sodom. Those who reject Christ's messengers reject Christ. III. The Return of the Seventy (vv. 17-24). 1. Their Report: (v. 17). They were highly elated. They seemed to be agreeably surprised. They not only found that they could heal the sick, but cast out demons also. They seemed to be filled with self-satisfaction. It is easy even in Christian service to be spied by our successes. 2. Jesus' Answer (vv. 18-24). (1) He told them: it was no surprise to Him (vv. 18, 19). With prophetic eye He saw their success as indicating that time when the prince of this world would be overthrown (John 12:31). By virtue of His mighty triumph over Satan He assures them that they need have no fear of what, should befall them. Nothing could harm them; nothing could prosper which opposed them. Indeed, nothing can harm the servant who goes about His Master's business. (2) Real cause for rejoicing (v. 20). He promptly rebuked them, telling them that their chief joy should be because of their heavenly relation, not because of these miraculous gifts. That above all which should provoke gratitude is the fact that God has chosen in Christ and saved us in inscribing our names in heaven. (3) Jesus' exultation (vv. 21, 22). The consciousness that soon the victory would be won because God had committed all things unto Him, and that only as men received Him could they know the Father, caused Him to reloice in what was being accomplished. (4) Congratulates the disciples. (vv. 23, 24). This is That Yo Shall Do. These are the things that ye shall do: Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates. Zachariah 8:16.

K. is actually trying to get Negroes to "join." We have found this out in Kansas, in Missouri, and in Oklahoma. You might think, "Impossible! the Klan can have use for colored people." But that is just whig you make your mistake; white-people of the Klan-type always have had and always will have plenty of use for the kind of Negroes that the Klan might enroll. Such white people need and use: "Negroes in their white dining rooms"; "Negroes in their white parlor cars" in the South, Negroes in their "white" kitchen, parks, bath houses, and Negroes in everything else "white"—But in a certain "place" Just as they have a "place" for the Negro in everything else, they also can have a "place" for him in the Ku-klux Klan. They will need Negro spies. The only effective spying among Negroes most be done by Negroes. They will need, most of all, to Divide the Negro Group, for the Negro, especially the organized, Negro, is the Klans' worst enemy to date. The Klans was made because of the Negro; if there were no Negro, there would be no Klan. And how can they succeed in their dimes unless in, some way they undermine and divide the Negroes. We do not believe that many colored people will "fall" for this thing—but some colored folk will fall for anything. If it offers enough. A meeting was held on a recent Friday night in one of these Western cities, where in colored citizens were to meet a Klan organizer and talk things over. It happened to be that the majority of the men invited, are of the type that cannot be so easily fooled, and they were going, as they said, merely for the privilege of getting this Klansman "told." Any colored man who joins the Klan, with its present constitution and principles, acknowledges himself a lower animal, and goes in to enforce the Inferiority of the rest of his breed, "Do You Believe in White Supremacy?" Question number 13. (Lucky question for such a Negro) in the the K. K. K. Literature is— "Do you believe in White Supremacy?" What will the Jim Crow 'jiner' say when he comes to that question? We cannot believe, of course, that many colored people can stoop so low. Only a very few, perhaps, of the lowest type—and they will aim to "fool the white folks." Even these may not prove as helpful to the Klan-program as the Klan might wish. But the point is: There is a need and a "place" for the Negro in the Klan. The worst white man in Georgia has a use for the Negro. Even John Williams, who murdered and buried twenty or more Negroes on his peacock farm, had a use for "niggers". In fact, they are the only ones he could use. We predict the usual things for the Jim Crow section of the K. K: K. MADAME C. J. WALKER STILL LIVES Associated Negro Press. She is not dead. And she will not die. When B. F. Ransom, attorney and manager-in-chief for her company, recently handed over a check for One thousand dollars to the N. A. A. C. P. to fight lynching, he was simply carrying out Madame Walker's wish and will. He has always been faithful to her trust. She told us in a casual conversation that the chief strength of all her business was this man Ransom. How he had served her "in the day of small things," when her income was but little and when any trusted shark" might have ruined her. "Oh, I will never be able to tell or to know," she said, how many thousands and thousands of dollars he has saved for me." Before she died, he pledged $5,000 to the fight against lynching. Then came her death and the awful "excess profits tax" of the great war; and her company—had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars as a free gift to the government. The government abm wiped out, the capacity of the company to do any large thing on the outside. But the same faith hand carried the business through these crimes. And now, as in the early days and in the day of danger, F. B. Ransom, a member that members his friend and benefactor wanted to be enlisted in the fight for the freedom of her race in the United States. Very often when a Negro gets rich he forgets his relation to the social interest of the group. This is not true of Madame Walker, and it is not true of F. B. Ransom. There are scores of Negro business enterprises in the United States that could do this same thing. Will they? When Africa begins to "beautify"—and that is not far off—then a business like that founded by Mira Walker can easily become a billion-dollar business and we trust that it will continue under a broad and honest management, like that which it now has. When still still colored people begin to make history by willing at least a part of their property to "a great ractal organization like that which we have admired" it is and very hard to be a member of the progressive movement. fight for the further freedom of their race in America. Madame J. C. Walker still lives. Long live Madame C. J. Walker. Associated. Negro Press. In February 1921, a contribution was made not only to the Negro Press, but to Negro Literature by the publication of The Radiator, a magazine devolved to Insurance and Finance, issued in Durham, N. C. Its supporters were the Durham Group, which after years of successful financing saw the necessity of publishing a journal. The active business managers are J. M. Avery, Vice President of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, Durham, N. C., and W. Gomez, Secretary-Manager of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, Durham, N. C. In addition to the services of those men the magazine has a well trained and experienced staff of contributors. Each department is edited by a specialist in the particular field under his direction. To illustrate: the Casualty Insurance Company, is edited by V. D. Johnson, Auditor of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, Columbus, Ohio; the Financial section is edited by B. T. Johnson, a member of Babson's Statistical organization, Wellesley Hills, Mass., the legal section is edited by R. P. Alexander, a lawyer with unusual training in finance and insurance; while the department devoted to Health and Hygiene is directed by Dr. Clyde Donnell, Medical director of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company Durham, N. C. The editor of the magazine is Dr. Saile T. Mossell, Assst. Actuary of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. Five issues of the magazine have appeared to date. The titles of some of the articles in these issues will perhaps give a better idea of its scope. A few of the headings are as follows: What Next In Negro Business, Diseases That Increase Negro Morality, How To Obtain A Quick Settlement Of A Fire Loss, How The Courts Interpret Your Insurance Policies. Considerable interest has been awakened in the publication among grafters and Negro business leaders. At the last session of the National Negro Insurance Association, The Radiator was adopted as the official organ of that Association. The Atlanta and Durham financiers are pushing the publication. With their support it promises to become a financial chronical which will link together the numerous Negro business interests. Every Negro business and professional man and woman should subscribe to and read The Radiator, in order to be well-informed on the progress and state of Negro Business. SIKI'S VICTORY EXPLAINED Fracios "explains" how it happened that Georges was so badly beaten by the Senegalese Negro. And it all seems so plain after Carpentier's manager explains it! He says it was due to some "unportmanlike blows" which Siklit hit Carpentier: A blow over the heart, a blow on the chin "downward," and some other blows that "jarred the spine" of the Georges. But for these blows, explains the manager, Carpentier, who politely wryly said. He omitted to point out that if the Negro's hands had been tied together by a wire, a victory for Carpentier would have been surer still. And the white man thinks that in the future these blows should be forbidden! Inasmuch as blows "below the belt" are already forbidden, to out law these other "unsposmanlike" blows cataloged by the najvo Deschamps, would mean that when Sikl fights the next white man, he will be forbidden to hit his opponent either on the chest, on the chin, on the back, on the school of his bone, about the only thing left then, would be light taps on the forehead and the top of the head, for the spinal cord could be "jarred" by very hard blows even on this "knot" at its upper end. Anyhow, Deschamps "explained" it. Wm. Pickens. CANADA IS DISTURBED OVER "CHINESE PROBLEM" CANADA IS DISTURBED OVER "CHINESE PROBLEM" Associated Negro Press Toronto, Canada Nov. 29—There are grave indications that Ontario may experience a Chinese problem similar to that which has perplexed British Columbia for two decades. The truck-farming business in the suburban districts of Toronto is gradually becoming controlled by Chinese gardeners, and the Ontario farmers in their alarm over the yellow peril in their midst are urging the provincial government to act. "The Chronicle" is weekly Toronto publication, says: "When the hordes of orientals invaded the Pacific Coast, many Canadian gardeners being dazed by the incredible sums offered for their property, readily sold their farms. Those who did not sell were practically forced to vacate the vicinity because the Chinese standard of living was intolerable, and the competition in marketing produce was an insurmountable handicap. Many Chinese are undoubtedly clever and astute, but a large number show physical evidences of licefulness. They are the agencies by which the terrible drug traffic has been spread throughout our nation. One perceives with dismay, the increasing tendency of senual Chinese to associate with Canadian girls—the inertable consequences too horrible to contemplate. Lower Winter Fares to Many Winter Places!

"SHUFFLE ALONG" MAKES BIG HIT IN CHICAGO "SHUFFLE ALONG" MAKES BIG HIT IN CHICAGO Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Ill. Nov. 22—Shuffle Along. "shuffled" into the Olympic Theatre here this week with a verve and a surprise which has made all Chicago sit up and take notice. That this organization has lived up to an organization that then some is the opinion to be heard only in the places where the "brethren" hold forth but all over this little town and the daily paper critics who have spelled death for so many shown this fall have been manicuous in their approval. Headed by Bliss and Blinke, Littler and Lyles and Lylee Gee, the sensations from Broadway, by way of Boston, dismunked, from their special train with 18 motor cars and numerous trunks full of the highest togs. Not for the stage, no bless you, but for the "stroll". Sartorially the outfit has 35th and Indiana Ave., up on its tiptoes and gasping for breath and its a toss up which are the best dressed, the lads or the skinkers. Class and prosperity are sticking, out all over them. But the show — if course Choreo Chicago is a unit and announcing it the best ever, that was to be expected, but the dopeys, the fiftie stand point, Chicago is not compellum New York and everybody waited to see what the daily paper critics had to say. Listen to Ashton Stevens of the Herald Examiner. The age of critics "Half of "Strut Miss Lizzie" was good, but "Shuffle Along" is all good. It is the real colored doing; it is ETHIOPERA." Here words carry a laugh or a sing and the yarn is a rebuke to the plotlessness of the white musical comedian. But I am sure there is music in it even more music than they is a plot even more music than you will hear in Mr. Berlin's most musical Music Box Revue. And it is very real music. It is a score that abounds in what the financiers of tipup alley call "natural" melodies. Times that just couldn't be anything but what they are—happy, original griggleful times—grow all over "Shuffle Along." They make you say that the timefulness of the colored man is more than superstition. Eubie Blake composed them, and he leads the orchestra, Mr. Blake is my idea of a star in the orchestra plt. He makes his fourteen bandmen to play like forty when needs be and like one when the marking is pianissimo. He sits at the concert grand juggling a cascade of ivory and cherry where it will do the least harm; and it is an obligation that really obliges. If that 'very hard-to-spell word rhythm, had not been invented, it would spring into the dictionaryes at Mr. Weester's first hearing of Mr. Blake's black bandmen. Rhythm is the life of this show. It is. I think the fastest and most melodious musical comedy of several seasons, and not the least intelligent by a darned sight." While it is impossible to expect a run here such as the show enjoyed in New York, it is the musical hit of the season and all Chicago is given it stopped by on its way to London. The performers are, in being moved the famed hospitality of Chicago, Early in December the principals, and their staff will be the guests of the Appomattox Club. Burleigh Deplores Use Of Swituals For Jazz Associated Negro Press. Associate Negro Trust New York City, N.Y. 22. There is a restaurant in Manhattan on a side street known to New Yorkers as Trinity's. It is very popular, and many of the leading lights enjoy its home cooking. Recently a group of professionals were there at breakfast, and among them was Harry T. Burleigh, the composer. The general conversation drifted naturally into music, and Mr. Burleigh was asked by an A. N. P. representative what he thought of the recent use of a number of the Negro Spirituals being used as a basic melody for jazz and fox trots. Mr. Burleigh became very solemn and said: "It is a very and intimate use of these our greatest melodies. All other nationalities and ages hold their folk songs sacred, and we must do the same." The great composer, who has been one of the recipients of the Spingin' megl, has recently amplified his remarks by a letter to the N. A. A. C. P, which says in part: The growing tendency of some of our musicians to utilize the melodies of our Spirituals for fox rots, dance numbers, and sentimental songs is I feel a serious mien to the artistic standing and development of the race. These melodies are our prized possession. They were created for a delicate purpose and are designed to demonstrate and perpetuate the deepest aesthetic endowment of the race. They are the only legacy of slavery days that we can be proud of—our precious contribution to the vast musical product of the United States. "In them we have a mine of musi cal wealth that is everlasting. Inti their making was poured the aspiration of a race in bondage, whose religi ion intensely felt—was their whole hope and comfort, and the only veli c through which their inner spirit soured free. "They rank with the great folk-mu sic of world and are among the least of chanted prayers. "They say, since this body of folk-som expresses the soul of a race, it is a body thing. To use it and not anti ficialize or cheapen it calls for revence and true devotion to its spiritual significance. Yet these delin quent musicians contemptuously dis regard these traditions for personal commercial gain." Humorous References To "Shuffle Along" Performers Amortized Neuro Press TIMAGO, Ill. Nov. 26—Ashton Bierge, Dramatic Critic of the local dialect, Herald Examiner, ranks the following humorous reference to the principal of the "Shuffle Along" company now playing here at the Olympic Theatre: "Our colored brothers at the Olympic ple, who sing and dance in," "Shuffle Along," have eleven limousines and their own chanters. It is easy come easy go with them. "What's money but to spend?" is their slogan, and they live up to it in union suits that cost $40.00. The company was shuffling along in the small towns of Pennsylvania a couple of years ago when Al Mayer, a connection of the, "Guggenheim" saw a performance and said, "Come with me to Broadway." Not a scratch of the men was heard, nor has been heared to date. "Al's word 'went' with the shufflers and is still going. Last season he and Harry Cort, and the teams, of Blake and Sissie and Miller and Lydes, subdivided more than a quarter of the audience, before they came to Chicago. Mr. Emile Blake, the Pudderwolf of the production, bought himself a raycorn overcoat, taking the same almost off the shoulders of Mr. Jack Pickford, a competitor for the purchase. The race court followed Mr. Bates to the chamber of parcel post and was diverted in transit. That is, Mr. Aubrey Bates is not to the expensive parcel first. In the lovers of Alice blue tissue paper, that hated the box he substituted for the race must plead an innocent and many garment that had been discarded by his chauffer. And when this spurious package "was delivered to Mr. Bates in a sing-song room, there was and of stage roar which is not written in the diaries. Mr. Bates rightful race court had to be restored before the show could go on. Mr. Bates is not a fugal person. Mr. Bates was attached to a platform which trimmed with diamonds her rose, a thousand dollars, Mr. Mayer carries the only ingersoll in the organization." When "shuffle Along" leaves Chicago, it goes to Detroit. It reruns in New York after other Eastern appearances. It is aliquy booked to open with Class. Cadram. London. December 1923.

In postponing the case the Court said, "This is done because of the slowness being experienced in another trial now under way." PARADE OF MASKED MEN STRIKES TERROR IN MEARTS OF MEN. Preston News Service Brownsburg, Texas. Nov. 22. Scores of Mexicans and Negroes have left this town during the past 21 hours according to reports being sent out by local authorities. It is said that Negroes are by far in majority of those leaving. The sudden exodus followed a march of a crowd of masked men, estimated at over 500, through the Negro and Mexican districts last Tuesday night and alleged threats that Mexicans and Negroes must leave Brownsburg at once or have their homes burned. Other threats of violence are alleged to have sent to Negroes and Mexicans. "It is thought that members of the Ku Klux Klan are responsible for this movement to drive Mexicans and Negroes out at the front of the work being done here." Many jobs held by Negroes and Mexicans were vacant on Wednesday, including that of a Negro school teacher, who is alleged to have left town also. Major Fulwiler is reported to have issued a statement to the effect that everything possible will be done to protect residents of the city, regardless of race or creed. The chamber of commerce piloted cooperation with the city authorities in affording protection. Extra police have been placed on duty and it is said that no further trouble is expected.

Nov. 25—The old medical college building being demolished for Negro civil defense according to announcement made last Monday by the school board commissioners. The building is being used for ten classes and many colored children, who were without the advantages of education have enrolled. Use of the building for Negro school purposes is said to be temporary. The commissioners are at this time negotiating for the purchase of property in Davis Avenue, on which will be built a modern school building for Negro children. It is said however, that the commissioners are still considering the property of the parental home and efforts are being made to untangle some of the legal phases encumbering the property. The property of the school board to use the medical college came after many stormy sessions, at which time protests were entered against its dren as a school. Finally, the board use for both white and colored chiffon with the choice of either score of children to go without a school or come out firmly and utilize the building. It chose to use the building No protests were then made. ANOTHER EXODUS OF COLORED PEOPLE IS GETTING UNDER WAY ANOTHER EXODUS OF COLORED PEOPLE IS GETTING UNDER WAY Labor Agents Representing Large Northern Corporations Are Again Active In The Southern States. Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 22 Reports from various Southern states show that another exodus of colorate people to Western and Northern state is getting under way. The need for unstilled labor in industrial centers rendered acute by the limitation of construction and the consequent recruiting of colored workers to fill the job into which unimagining streams of foreigners formerly allowed is given as the chief cause. Labor agents representing large Northern corporations are again reported active throughout the South and while they are not popular with the planters, who see the loss of valuable labor as a result of their efforts, the agents are said to take every precaution, taking out licenses, registering and complying with all the laws of the municipalities, where they operate thus preventing attack. From Atlanta comes the information that a train load of colored workmen left Macon, Ga., last week bound for Stukenville, Ohio, where they would be employed in a steel mill, $5,000 in railroad fares was required for the movement. Because of the resulting opportunity for securing work at a more attractive wages and gaining freedom from his Southern environment, the ban on immigration has been a birth to the Negro. Though great sacrifices of property are frequently made, and while the change from rural living into the congested centers to which the immigrants go has problems which must be worked out, it is the opinion of social workers that the migration is proving decidedly helpful from the standpoint of advancing the economic interests of the group. Better schooling for their children, the right of franchise and the example of progressive surroundings have made great changes in the lives of many of these families. For this reason efforts which are being made to lift the ban of immigration are being watched with interest. The millions who migrated to America before the war have been cut down to a mere fraction by the present law which admits only three per cent of the total of the nationals of any foreign country in America before the war. Colorized men are doing the hard work which these foreigners did and which many Americans will not do. It is admitted even by those who are interested in breaking down the ban that many immigrants are not desirable, prone to Bolshevism and that the cannot be Americanized easily. If America could select their immigrants and choose those whom they prefer, discriminating against Catholic and Jewish newcomers, it is likely according to a Senator here the bars would not be let down. But as the case stands now, China is the only country whose people are excluded and if she were a great power the Chinese exclusion net would never have been pressed. In the meantime the center of Negro population is steadily shifting northward and the colored brother is saying, "It's an ill wind which blows nobody good." FRANCE NEEDS MEN, NO MATTER OF WHAT COLOR Associated Negro Press PALIS, France. Nov. 22. France needs men. She does not care what the color of their skin is just so long as they speak French and are big and husky enough to be bravely defiant French in the face of the unilateral continuation is that the French language possesses enough of potentiality to preserve the traditions and national spirit of the French people. The Negroes fought like valiant Frenchmen in the late World War and therefore are worthy to be included in the national scheme of French civilization, Frenchmen, white and black, if necessary, is the cry of the hour. Some 70,000 fewer children were born this year than last, according to statistics compiled and announced last Monday by the National Alliance for the Increase of the French Population. The figure points to this conclusion: In less than fifty years there will be 83,000,000 Germans as against 43,000,000 French, unless old Father Stork, who is the national bird of restored Alsace, makes more regular visits to the average French household. To the mind of the still-feared French, a German population more than double their own mean nothing more than almost certain annihilation in evenness of an earlier war. Herola lies the crux of France's concern over her shrinking birth rate. mobile riding and unconventional dancing. / To be true to myself, which means, among other things, to be honest in my classroom work as well as on examinations.

A Survey Shows Negroes Have Mastered All Parts Of The Laundry Industry Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 22—With the advent of the steam laundry forty years ago, began the gradual passing of the picturesque Negro washerwoman, arrayed in gingham apron, delivering the family wash. For a century, or more the washing in certain section of the country was done by colored people. The agrarian of labor through P.H. H. Press. County of Completion included a survey to determine what even Negro was still willing to do in the tenement town Washington, D. C. was selected as a typical city for the laundry and the result flipped that 61.4 percent of a total of 1,549 workers of both colors and sexes engaged in the laundry business in Washington, D. C. Negroes. This does not include Chinese and hand laundries; only those plants employing machinery. This record is based upon a total of 551 white and 998 colored workers, who are further divisible into 298 white males and females forming, respectively, 14.1 per cent and 50.0 per cent of the grand total of 1,549. A further analyst's was made, as far as possible, of the actual occupations of these workers, and it was found that they were principally distributed as follows: Occupations White Colored Assorters and markers 120 70 Drivers 117 53 Engineers 11 5 Farmers 122 492 Office help 41 6 Shakers 10 41 Sport and Collar girls 12 57 Washers 17 101 All others 80 160 From the above it is a parent that Negro workers have pursued every art and trade of the business industry on through its development from the road to the machine process. So that their female wing has advanced along with the whites far beyond the stages of apprenticeship. KU KLUX SEVENTY-FIVE STRONG IN CONGRESS REPORT. Washington, D. C. Nov. 22 — According to information available it is claimed that 75 members of the new congress are also members of the Klu Klux Klan. Arthur Erisleine says "The Klu Klux weakened their power in advance by making a fight unwise against Catholics and Jews. A militant organization must have some thing to fight and the Klu Klux chose Jews and Catholics, very poor choice if the Klan 'wants to win.' It will be recalled that the Klan began fighting against Negroes and later up the fight against Jews and Catholics. It is the point of view that it is quite right for the Klan to fight against the Negro in this country. If the above figures are correct, it is evident that this nefarious organization is gaining quite a foothold in politics in this country and will be able to wield considerable influence on legislative matters. The presence of these avowed enemies to the Negro will make it extremely difficult to secure passage of any legislation M benefit to the Negro in this country. GIRL CONFESSES SHE TIED SELF TO.
