He quoted such authorities as Dr. Rudolph Virchon, Froehunck, Petrie, Rogers, Winchell, Volney, Rollinson, Herodius and Sappho.

LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1925 Federal Judge At Jackson Rules That Nuisance From Oil Mill Was Injurious To Life And Health Of Mrs. Regland And Niece JACKSON, Mish., Jan. 23 — A little more than a year ago, Mrs. Mary Ireland and her niece, Mildred Ross who reside at 331 W. Monument St., Jackson, Miss., just across the street in front of the Buckeye Cotton Oil Mill, fitted in the Federal Court in this City, charging that the dust and dirt from this mill had been large quantities for a long time, causing them to inhale large quantities of dust, dirt and lint from this mill and forcing them to have to keep their doors closed and windows down for long periods of time, causing them as a result, much pain and suffering, the impairment of their health and charging that Mildred's development had been greatly affected and because of these conditions, the plaintiff asked that the operation of this mill be declared a nuisance and that the mill be enjoined from operation. They further asked that they be allowed damages for the pain, suffering, inconveniences and impairment of health, to which they had been subjected. About a year ago a preliminary injunction was granted restraining the operation to allow it to apply to permit the escape of lint or dust over Mrs. Razland's premises. The case finally came on to be heard recently on its merits, on the question of damages, and as to whether or not the preliminary injunction should be made permanent or dissolved, and after a most stubborn contest on both sides, for three weeks or more, the Court finally awarded Mrs. England sixteen hundred and fifty dollars damages to her health and five thousand dollars damages to her niece, Mildred Ross, and enjoined the mill from further action, until they can so operate as not to pollute any appreciable amount of dust or line they be blown from the mill over on Mrs. Rogland's premises. The record showed that Mrs. Rogland could recover damages for injuries incurred since 1921, only, in view of the fact that she had already recovered damages before from this company prior to 1921, because of this condition. Watkins, Watkins and Eagar represented the Buckeye Cotton Oil Co.; S. D. Redmond alone represented Mrs. Rogland and her little niece, Mildred. It will also be recalled that on a previous occasion a Delinting Plant in Jackson, Miss, and threw large quantities of dust into the homes of those living it and in other ways maintained a most unsuitable condition in the neighborhood and that Attorney Redmond went into court and enjoined their operation in that neighborhood, and the owners were forced to dismantle their plant and move it out of the city.

UNREST STILL AMONG NEGROES IN THE STATE UNREST STILL AMONG NEGROES IN THE STATE Their Rights To Full Citizenship Will Be Presented In The Form Of A Memorial By Dr. Ray Of Kansas City, Who Is Member Of Legislature. E. W. Baker, Correspondent JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Jan. 22—Since the election of Governor Baker, there has existed unrest among the dependable Negroes of the state. This has been explained by the fact that the Negroes have many of the rights in Missouri which are accorded to members of the race in other states of the union. More than a quarter of a century ago, colored jurors, grand and petit, state and federal, were drawn at every session of the district and United States courts. Today, 165 Negro is ever drawn upon these juries—a brazen violation of their rights as citizens. In order that the status of the state may be properly represented, the warriors kinds have been created members thereof appointed by the Governor. But, upon these commissions no Negro has ever been called to serve. It is a well known fact that the Negro public school system of the state, outside of the larger cities, is today in us poor condition as those of northern England so beautifully portrayed in Dickens' "Nicholas Michaels." The Negro vote of the State of Missouri is absolutely the balance of power. The party can hope to triumph at the polls without the major portion of this vote. For the purpose of stressing this idea, a meeting is to be held in Jefferson City in the earlier part of February by representative Negroes and these facts will be broadened ther out the state and nation. Mr. J. Sill Harris is the leading spirit in pushing forward this measure. A memorial is to be drawn at this meeting and presented to the Missouri General Assembly, now in session, urging them to take up these matters. This memorial will be offered by Dr. Richard Ray, representative from Kansas City, Dr. Hay is leading the light for the welfare of the Negroes.

What is perhaps the biggest Immigration movement the country has witnessed in a long time began several days ago, when two Japanese families settled upon the rich portion of Arkansas along the Frisco railroad between Marion and Joyner.

We have provided a number of charitable institutions for colored people in recent years and with efficiency by citizens of that region. The Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics, established in 1921, has been doing an effective work in ascertaining real conditions existing among the colored people and it has been successful in stimulating thrift and industry among the Negroes.

Waldron Declares Negro Tenants Gouged, At Senate Committee Hearing Preston News Service WASHINGTON D. O.

In his letter to Senator Baldwin he states that he does not want the impression felt that rental conditions are bad only in the alleyes. He states that he has a congregation of approximately 1,600 and that he has received from his people many complaints of increases in rents ranging from 25 to 75 per cent, with the alternative of moving out. Dr. Waldron states that he retrains from mentioning names, especially at this time, as the tenants fear that publication of their names might militate against them. This fear, Dr. Waldron declares, is the reason why there has been no rigorous protest from the colored people. **Points Out Many Restrictions** He points out that Negroes are restricted to certain sections of the city and to interior houses, for which a charge of 10 to 25 per cent more is charged than to white people occupying similar houses. During the last two or three months many complaints have been received of the increase in room rent, which increases are brought about by the increase in rent paid by the lessee of the house, he says. Dr. Walden states that conditions were always oppressive on colored people, and that even during the functioning of the Rent Commission the colored people suffered more than other classes. Rev. Walden indicates to Scherator Ball that if the people of the District of Columbia could make the law themselves conditions would be remedied, but not that time, Congress should take action. French Professor Sees Race War In The United States Associated Negra Press Paris, France. Jan. 25.—In a paper recently read before the French Academy on "The Nightmare of the Colored Races in the United States" Professor Maurice Muret predicts future race clashes in the United States. The prediction is based upon observations made in America during a recent visit. Professor Muret is deeply impressed by manifolds he has cans concerning the future of the white race. The darker must not be taken too densely, he thinks North America "the advance seedling of Western civilization in Europe." Chas. Creath's Jazz-O-Maniacs Will Feature "PLEASURE MAD" and "MARKET ST.

She is well placed to watch the national movements of which the Far East is now the centre. Perhaps, he says, she is right to fear a collision. The white races yesterday had not the slightest doubt of their own superiority, the legitimacy of their world rule and the eternal duration of that supreme power. Professor Muret is vividly impressed by the doubles of this dogma manifested in many places in the United States—the press, conversations with politicisms and in books—where it is highly discussed. He says there are many Americans who see with tragic foreboding the invasion of the Northern States of the Union by the Negro population previously confined to the, Southern States. Conquest of power in Cen- tury South and American States by Indians and African empires of the white race also causes deep concern, and there is fear of a Japanese Mexican combination, he says. Professor Muret finds a certain amount of confirmation in the present day developments of theories contained in a book published in America before the war by Lothrö-Stadard, "The Rising Tide of Color." The twentieth century, thinks Professor Muret, will be a century of struggles of races for liberation, perhaps for world power hegemony. Bolshevism encourages such struggles with all forces. It would be desirable conclude Professor, that the white races should be ancient hates and antagonism between populations of similar race, and should quite in a front against possible assults of colored races. If a man loves a woman he will give encouragement for her beauty but if he hates her he will not. Mrs. W. C.

PAGE FOUR THEATRES BOB RUSSELL'S COMPANY RETURNS TO THE BOOKER .WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK Bob Russell's Company will play a return engagement at the Booker Washington Theatre next week beginning Monday. Mr. Russell and his aggregation of talented performers won the plaudits of the theatre-goers during their stay here last week. Their show was undeniably the best that has been seen on the B. W. stage in years. Packed houses were the result. Next week, Mr. Russell will present an entirely different production. There will be plenty of new songs, new dances and new features by the same personnel of players; but an unusual feature will be a comedy drama entitled, "Twenty Minutes In Hell." Regardless of its comedy, it carries a thrill and the hereafter is vividly displayed, with scenic and electrical effects. CHINATOWN SHOW AT BOOKER WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Joe Clark's Joy Makers are presenting a typical Chinatown play at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The action is centered on the dope evil, and in the effort to run down the ring leader of the truffle in opium there is continuous excitement, as well as much comedy in the hands of John LaRue as "The Hota-Mala Man." The principal characters are "Tim Murphy," the opium king, played by Joe Clark; "Wim Lung," the den' keeper, by Gee Allen; "Hoppy," who proves to be a secret servant operator, by Miss LaRue; a police officer, ledged by Murphy, characterized by Aaron Pace; Rise a hop head who returns, Dolph Allen; and "Mary" one of Murphy's friends, Mary Clark. La Rue as "Snatch," turns out to be a good assistant to "Dopey," in running down the criminals and the point is rained with fatal results. The interior and exterior scenes are all of Chinese character and the last act is set in Oriental brilliance. There are a number of Chinese songs and dances as well as the American variety. Among others in the show are Isabelle Miller, Leraine Gillespie, Theodore O'Dell angs Jackie Mabley, a female comedienne with a black face specialty that makes a tremendous hit. The entire show is not only a novelty but highly entertaining. MUSICAL REVUE AT LIBERTY NEXT WEEK The Liberty Theatre will offer a Musical Comedy Revue next week beginning Sunday.

Many of these men are totally disabled, others are partially so, and are unable to earn a living for themselves, and believing that some of the same interest will be shown these men now as was shown them in the days of slavery, when they led to believe that their service to the Constitution's cause was appreciated.

Paris is claimed by many to be the South of Civilization, vibrant with a history that appurts the Legions of Caesar, and the conquering sweep of Charlemagne. Those who have the opportunity to make the trip are assured the time of their lives. ADJUSTMENT ACT MAKES VETS' BONUS DUE IN 1945 ADJUSTMENT ACT MAKES VETS' BONUS DUE IN 1945 United States, Army veterans who were sufficiently interested and persuading to fill out the application forms issued under the Advised Compensation Act are now receiving their adjusted service certificate. The first impression of the veteran upon examining his 'certificate' is one of Surprise and infidelity at the unexpectedly large amount of money which it assures him. The next moment, however, his gratification may be charged to dismay as he observes that the sum will not be paid much less, or twenty years from the date of issuance. The certificate has a loan value but that also is not applicable until after two years, and then in very moderate amount at first. The process for obtaining a loan is found to be simple and easy, entailing merely giving the lending bank a promissory note and appointing the certificate as security. The loan value increases gradually and arbitrarily, after the second year, much more rapidly than by meticulous interest accretion, until toward the end of the twenty-year period it approximates the maximum or maturity value. Difficult in the way of assigning his certis, ate thus soon to be in the owner's interest. The Government, indeed, has exercised its broadest insight in surrounding its agencies with such provisions, under the terms of the act, as will discourage the recipients from trading off their certificates and spending the proceeds, perhaps unwisely. By the graduated scale of value the certificate is made valuable to the first, except as briefly be held for future realization. The rate of increase in compensation that the certificate represents more than merely a moderate basic sum plus cumulative interest over a long period. If calculated as a compound interest proportion, at 6 per cent, the basic value would beobtained if the specified matur initial loan value in the third year. At 1.41 per cent which would be a fairer rate in view of its security, the amount would be still larger. Thus the actual cash bonus undertaken to be paid out of the National Treasury is a substantial one. But the most beneficial feature of the loan is the deferred realization of the maximum loan and the grants most of them coming shall have reached a more advanced age. --- Christian, Science Monthly Through the kindness of Honorable L.

COOLIDGE TAKES STAND ON THE KU KLUX KLAN Associated Negro Press. Washington D. C., Jan. 23—No member of the Ku Klux Klan is to be appointed to a federal position if President Coolidge knows anything about it. This is the inference taken if connection with the appointment of Robert C. Baltzell to a federal judgship. Baltzell was nominated by Senator James Watson of Indiana. When it was learned that his name had been given to the President, word was sent here that Baltzell was a member of the klan. The president immediately directed the attorney general to have the prospective judge come to this city where he is reported to have been questioned regarding his klan affiliations. When he had conceived Mr. Coolidge that he was not conceived by the organization, his name was sent to the city. This step of the President is the answer to the question as to how he stood on the headed organization during the recent campaign. Those on the inside declare, now, as formerly that a klanman hasn't got a chance. Current Events Hello, Mabel, Helia, Aunt Jane. What's the news? Why, Mabel.

I recall now, having gone with a friend "to purchase a pair of gloves at Pious-Bars," and she was not permitted to fit these gloves because of her color, and I have been told by others that there are other large stores of which the same is true. That is just my point, Mabel. What should we go and give our money to people, who go out of their way to show us by their every nelion that we are not wanted, and neither is our money. Addison's store has made a little our patronage. They demonstrated by their ad in our paper that they want our patronage and that time we are given our courtesies, that is given to others elsewhere, but is so often denied us. Let our pride and self-respect keep us away from the stores where we are not treated courteously, and since we must go to them let us go where we have been invited. Good bye, Mabel. Good bye, Auntie.

Quite sure, Mabel, because I saw the aid in the St. Louis Argus, and I have been told you will find real bargains. Auntie, I can not understand why you mention this particular store, when you have so often spoken of race patronage. That is true, dearle, and I speak of and urge it still. Remember, the, we have no stores of this sort among us, and in as much as we spend thousands of dollars. In the downtown stores, my argument is that we should spend it where our patronage is "She doesn't love anybody at home; how can she love God?" was the comment of a neighbor on a girl who thought herself a Christian, but was not.

The following owners have qualified: J. L. Willerson, owner of the Kansas City Monarchs, league champions and world champions; Richard Kent and Dr. J. B. Key of the St. Louis Stars; Joe Rush of the Birmingham, Ala.-Black Barons; Augustine Molina of the Vikings Crusis of Tiverville, Cuba, and Rube, Foster of the American Glants of Chicago. Two new persons will appear on the scene this year, Warner Jewell of Indianapolis, ind. seeking a franchise in that city has posted his $1,000,000 President Foster, and President Calif. baseball manager, and owner of the Pierre Glants, has posted $1,000 and seeks a franchise in Detroit. Just what action the league will take on these clubs is a matter of gross work. A number of other offers have been received and the league directors are determined to get the best business men possible to carry on the work of the league. The Fans association of Indianapolis is making a strong bid for a club in the Hoosier city and it is likely that a large delegation will be on hand for the meeting. Memphis is an unknown quantity. If C. Lewis fails to deliver the goods, the players now claimed that club will be transferred to the Indianapolis club as all players with the Detroit club in 1921 will become the property of the new Detroit club. 1925. In the event S cities can not qualify the league will go in with a six city circuit, the Cuban Stars of Havana playing as an associated club through the league. Andrew Foster, president of the league, will open the meeting Monday morning promptly at 10 o'clock. WELLS JOINS ST. LOUIS STARS IN LOS ANGELES LOS ANGELES. Jan. 23—Hurley Wells and Goodrich have joined the St. Louis Stars and the club is putting up in a much stronger brand of ball. Fred Bell and Ross won their games easily against Barry's Classy Hatters. The score Saturday was 11 to 2 and Sunday 9 to 1. New Players Star McNair, Rush, and from his recent sick spell, played about five innings. Saturday and rested Sunday. He hit a long triple Saturday. Wells and Goodrich, didn't arrive until Saturday night and made their first appearance Sunday. The crowd, which was a big increase over the Sunday before, was more than pleased by the work of the new comers. Goodrich around second base looked very much like Bunny Downs of the old Giants. He fielded faintness properly. Wells in short looks as good as Briggs. He hit a long home run to left field. BIG BILL DRAKE LOSES ONE HIT GAME 2 TO 1 LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 27 William "Punk" Drink, never ding as good in his life as in the Sunday afterpiece between the (Kansas City) White Sox and the Vernon Tigers. Drake pitched a one hit game, but lost 2 to 1. It was one, two three in every session, but the duke second, when after grinding Whale out, he brushed Griffin on the arm with a slow one and he was decorating the A bag hopelessly when Gorman thickly caught one just right and out of the lag it breezed for their only hit and runs of the game, as they never had a chance after that. Only one man even saw the first base and that was, in the third when Day throw over Carr's dome at first after kick. His grassetter beautifully. While our babies were scattered, the patrols in nearly every spasm, loose base running and lower coach sniffed 'em out like sand lotters, playing water polo. Their only run in the first inning was in the nature of a present from Campbell of the Los Angeles Coast League, who walked Carr and Butcher in the first and "Lobie" Moore singled a red hot infield, clogging the byways. Captain Hawkins outgripped Campbell who walked him and forced Carr to score. Foreman and Fagen both pawed the air and Burks Killingworth popped while the bags were still drunk. Can you feature that-3 men on bags with nobody down and we make one incasly tally? Lincoln Wins Basketball Game From The C. R. T.'s The Lincoln "Jumping Jacks" of East St. Louis, Ill. added another laurel to their crown by trimming the fast C. R. T.'s aggregation, from the Pine St. "Y" of St. Louis, Mo. by a score of 15 to 8, on Saturday night, Jan. 24, at the Bond Ave. Y. This was the second reputed aggregation of St. Louis, Mo. within eight days, which included of Miss Kennedy's invincible cell matriculate. Despite the lack of the usual pop and vim displayed by the "Jumping Jacks" in distress, groups they held the load matched during the second period, throughout withstanding the desperate effort on the visitors to overcome this lead. The "Jumping Jacks" defense seemed implegible. Many times by remarkable passing the visitors, would reach their goal zone, but it was of little avail, for it was there the passing was broken up by the "Jumping Jacks" redoubtable five man defense, and carried back down the floor. The "Jumping Jacks" offense lacked its usual punch and fight, which was especially noticeable by their inaccuracy at goal shooting. Miss Kennedy is an adherent to the rules of the master-mind football mentors "nature" that it means, that it "reserves." Unfortunately, she veteran forward, Harris, has been out of the last two games with an all-iment, but his position has been well-filled by the lean, unkly chap, Thornhill, who formerly occupied a reserve berth, and he has proved his sterling worth, filling his position in every capacity, as well as the veterans. Having a string of four victories and no defeats to their credit, the "Jumping Jacks" clash with the strong, undefended Carbondale aggregation, on Saturday night, Jan. 31, at the Y. M. A. Bank and Bond. This is the last game before the "Jumping Jacks" start on a four around the circuit. "The Carbondale Cagers" are expected to glve some stiff opposition. *Line Up* *Lincoln* Pine St. Y.

A 4 round bout followed, between Kid Silas and Battling Earl Kid Silas had the best of this at the end of the bout. The next was for six rounds, between Kid Williams and Kid Fraction. This match was about even and was a good one. Earl Murphy, who like Sam Langford, lost his sight in the prize ring, gave a good account of how he once protected himself. Kit Carrier was no match for Battling Johnnie, but stuck thru the 8 rounds and never gave back through Johnnie showed him with punches. The main event of the evening was an 8 round boxing contest between Kid Bolden and Billie Willie. This event is always a good one. Both boys are very clever and fast. Nothing but good be said of these two boys. It is hard to even pick a winner, owing to the following they both have. So we will call this bout owen. Poff Conesy, was referee and Hammet Ashford, time keeper. JOE GANS STANDS OFF JACK DELANEY Associated Negro Press Wikisarre, Pa., Jan. 28.—Jack Dolaney, white, the boy who knocked out the Tiger, of Atlanta, Ga. In New York Friday night, isn't all that he is cracked up to be, for Allentown Joe Gans, a fast and clever boxer without a punch, stood the white boy off in the 10 round windup here Monday night, and caused the judges to disagree, thereby having the referee announce the verdict in Dolaney's favor. Gans's good work, lighting battles and his ability to beat Dolaney to the punch was the saint of the fight Monday night. Although he was floored by Dolaney in the seventh round, he did not let the referee count over him. He did some pretty work all through the fight. It was a fast bout. And it is evident that when the judges and referee, all white, decided in Gans's favor there was something to Gans. Associated Nexto Press New York Jan. 28. The knockout punch delivered by Jack Delaney, white, in Madison Square Garden last Friday against Tiger Flowers, the sensational race fighter, proved to be a winner, game in which the game is not won. The game is out and that a lucky punch delivered in distress does not fall, all the time. The Tiger, likewise in all of his rights, is on his man from the ring of the gong until his opponent falls. His attack is like that of a tiger, he goes for his man. Delaney's lucky punch in the second round simply landed on the Tiger's jaw unexpected to Delaney himself. Like the other fighters who have met the Tiger and who have been smothered with rights and lefts, Delaney did not expect to weather the storm and had no idea of knocking out his race rival. But like a ball game when two men are out, two strikes on the batter and a man on first, it takes one hit to make a home run. A wild punch delivered by any hard hitter, if it lands on the right spot will knock out any fighter. ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1925 he stopped In December in a return engagement. DIXON WOULD HAVE BEATE! KID KAPLAN NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 21—The victory won by Kid Kaplan over Danny Kramer for the featherweight crown released by Johnny Dundee, brings to mind the late George Dixon, the greatest featherweight of all times. And the best, part it is that the greatest of them, Dixon, was a colored man. Kaplan may improve as he fights, but could he have beaten Dixon when the race boxer was knocking their dead right and left? Dixon could have beaten Kaplan, Dundee and Killane in the week and a half day Sunday. Dixon had the kick of a mule and his boxing was an art in itself. For years "Lil Chocolate," as he was named, reigned supreme and this meant something for in those days, there were boxers who fought for the love of the game. Dixon defeated nearly every man he met until his time had come to step aside for another. Negrn Theatrical History Ready For Press Associated Negro Press, NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 2k-The C. A.

M. E. CHURCH DOES MUCH FOR NEGRO EDUCATION M. E. CHURCH DOES MUCH FOR NEGRO EDUCATION GNCINNATI, Ohio. Jan. 28- The increase in the past ten years in the value of grounds, buildings and facilities has led the eighteen Ngoo schools opened in the Department of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Ngoo amounts to $2,754,952. In 1913 the total valuation was placed at $3,969,948 and in 1923 at $4,111,000. The number of students increased in this time from 5,969 to $6,882 and the number of teachers from 353 to 469. In a number of cases decreases in enrollment were due to the elimination of elementary grades in these institutes placing responsibility for this work on the public schools. While this elimination has been gradual, the students in secondary and collegiate departments have increased. In the eighteen schools sponsored by the Department of Education, McHarry Medical College at Nashville, Tennessee, is the only medical school for education of Negro physicians, pharmacists and dentists with a denominational affiliation in all the South, from Washington San Francisco. The only theological Seminary in the South with an adequate corps of professors is Gammon Theological, located at Atlanta, Ga. In Texas, Wiley University at Marshall, Texas, is the only Grade Negro college having more than four students in that State. At Austin, San Houston College represents only the fastest growing of this group of schools. These two colleges together represent a total property valuation of about $404,000. Morgan College, in Baltimore and Princess Anne Academy at Princess Anne, Md., are valued jointly at more than $600,000 and represent the largest effort of any kind in that State for the education of the Negro. Other schools are located in Ten n Tennessee Alabama, Florida, North and South Carolina; Georgia, Arkansas and Louisiana. Associated Negro Press.

A general prohibition agent, won over a dozen other attaches and officials in a dive for the bottle. "Where did this, come from?" Judge Groner demanded. Burgess explained he found it on the floor. "Did one of the jurors drop this?" the Court asked. Nobody knew. Before anything happened the jury reported back with a verdict of guilty and the incident was closed. Can't Give A Mule Away Associated Negro Press Chester, Pa. Jan. 28.—Howard Smith, a 17 year old Twin Caks boy, some time ago accepted a mule as a gift from Ellis Dwyer, a farmer neighbor, but his father said he had enough stock and too big a family to feed without adding the mule to the ration list. Young Smith sought out to trade the mule for something that would require no food. He met a neighboring youngster and exchanged the animal for a top and bottom of marbles. This boy, a mule a rather expensive pet and effected a trade for a lack knife. And nearly day the mule was in the hands of a new owner. Of late nobody seemed to want to trade and the mule has been wandering about seeking shelter wherever possible. Agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were notified and investigated and the mule changes of ownership were alired before it magistrate. The magistrate decided that either Dwyer or Smith were the owners of the mule and share in the costs of the case and instructed to have the mule killed. Associated Negro Press. Philadelphia, a., Jan. 28.—Dr. Jean Capart, director of the Royal Museum of Belgium, delivered an illustrated lecture on the history of Egypt art at the University of Pennsylvania Museum Saturday afternoon, in which he denied that the art of ancient Egypt was stiff, angular, plain-surfaced and devoid of the aesthetic qualities which characterized the art of Greece. Culture of the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian master-piece were shown analyzed as exhibits of their angular and plain-surfaced art, but in addition many examples of aesthetic work, in statuary and architecture were shown to bear out the assertion that Egypt was not behind ancient Greece in this latter respect, but that Greece received her inspiration from Egypt. CIVILIZATION INJURES EAST Associated Negro Press, Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 28 - Western civilization, in invading the Orie- tus, has designed Eastern spirituality, without furnishing anything ade- quate to take its place, was the gist of the address made Sunday by Dhan Gopal Mukerji, author lecturer, of Indin, at the weekly meeting of the Philadelphia 'Ethical Society.

Lodged in the waste pipes, in the rear of a house in 28th street, this city, were found the bodies of four unborn babies. This grusome discovery was made by a plumber while unstopping the sower. One of the bodies was washed by the sower was unstopped by the removal of the bodies and has not been recovered. It was impossible to tell whether or not they were white or colored babies. The police are investigating. Warning The Movie Struck By J. A. (Billboard) Jackson Associated Negro Press A story that originates according to its date line in Los Angeles, has been appearing under splash headlines in the colored weeklies headed "Great Demand for, Colored Film Actors." The effect of this story is to say the pervious. In interviews with the rest of humanity, off-going folks are "JewMad." It seems that all of them would like to appear in the movies. The offices of the trade journals have been pestered to death with inquiries about how to get into the film companies. Stories such as the one under discussion encourages these film strikes, ones to abandon less spectacular workshops, their schools and more jobs, to seek the elusive fame so glibly promised by implication in their stories. The story reports that 500 have been received at one office criticizing in Negro压力 in 1921. There is no doubt of the truth of that, but this office has on file the reports. of 67 the workers who are booked with reasonable strandiness from that office. Lord knows how many more are registered in that same office, waiting to catch the crumbs—the atmosphere and mob scene jobs—mere days work at long intervals. Of 67 worked absolutely equitably there have been less than 8 jobs each during a whole year. Had those same jobs been wholly among the whole registered list, there would have been but little employment for each. So do not rush to California. It is hard for white performers and much more so for Negroes, for the whites may find occasional work there, but the Negroes usual avenues to work are filled with Japanese, Chinese, find Mexicans, if kept in mind is the fact that they are directors want Negro types in the white companies, they want real Negroes once the genuine article comes into its own. Where the lighter person happens to be acquainted with casting offices and if he is of the special type that can be adapted, he or she may work in Mexico, East Indian Carribean, Arabic or other sites, through the scale of darker sets. Even in this, if the parts are "Fat" with other countries, the white artists have become so expert in the art of make-up that they have all the advantage of being given first choice at the work available. We share with the California writer a degree of pleasure in reporting programs for our folks in the "Movies" but the burden of responsibility that must be placed some for encouraging the thousands of light-headed an beautiful girls to choose probable well-o-the-wisp prompts as to set warning signals.

We hear quite a deal of complaints among the colored people of the city and state concerning the treatment they receive at the hands of the white people. Their complaints are, more or less, well founded; for God knows, things are pretty hard for us sometimes. But why complaint? Why stand around and grumble? Are we doing all we can to bring about a change. If not, why not? The truth of the matter is, we have not stopped to think. Let us think a moment,—think of what we have done, and think of what we could have done.—Self help is the best help. This is a day of organization. What are we doing for ourselves in an organized way? Start the question with number one. Ask yourself, "What am I doing?" Have you attended a meeting called for the purpose of helping the whole group, or have you stood off and grumbled? Have you given as much as one dollar to help fight our battles in a collective way, or have you stood off and criticised those who are doing something? Let us stop for a moment and think,—think how, and where we spend our money,—think how much we spend for amusement, and how much we spend to change these conditions of which we so often complain. The power to change things for our own benefit lies within our own hands if we only think. Thought rules the world,—think when we work, think when we spend. Self help is the best help. release of six more men, ex-soldiers of yry, from Leavenworth prison, the tot in a year now numbers twenty-six. Biddle, speaking of these releases, pra al Association for the Advancement o good work done in behalf of those work done by the Association in beha we cannot but be reminded of the sba With the release of six more men, ex-soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, from Leavenworth prison, the total number of releases within a year now numbers twenty-six. Warden Biddle, speaking of these releases, praises the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the "good work done in behalf of those men." As we think of the work done by the Association in behalf of the condemned men, we cannot but be reminded of the slogan many of us have seen in St. Louis which read, "Suppose Nobody Cared?" If nobody cared, we wonder what kind of a place this old world would be? All around us we see sin, sickness and sorrow. We see that man to man is so unjust. So, there must be those who care, who are willing to help the fortunate. The fifty-four men we saw at Leavenworth, a little more than a year ago, were said by many to be innocent. We believed them innocent all the time. They say themselves that they are innocent, but they themselves were helpless. They could do little or nothing in their own behalf. So, had it not been that somebody cared, what would be their fate to day? Many of their beneits would be bleached in the grave. Right and justice must be fought for. It does not come as a matter of course. The N. A. A. C. P., therefore, as well as other agencies whose uniting efforts brought freedom to those men, should be congratulated for their good work as Warden Biddle so aptly said. While we are rejoicing over the success thus far achieved, we must not forget the twenty-nine left behind the dark walls yet longing for freedom. They believe now that somebody cares. So, let those who are interested in seeing justice done to all who were victims to race prejudice, in such a heartless way, continue the efforts until the last man of them is free. Suppose nobody cared. The whirlwind came and raped a rich harvest at Herrin, Illinois, a few days ago when allenn Young, an active, klansman, and three others pet death as a result of Klan activities in Willimson County, Illinois. In view of these facts, we think it high time that the citizens should rise with their vote and call a half to such malpractices. Let us not get into too big a scramble over who is to be Register of the United States Treasury, but rather, let us bend our energies toward opening the place for the face, which place was lost to us in the "shuffle" under Woodrow Wilson's administration. When we have the positive assurance from President Coolidge that the place is to be restored to our group, then it will be time for the scramble for the place. A fight among us now, over the job, is very unwise. Sure Mayor Kiel likes his job. Twelve years is but yesterday when the cup of one's pleasure is running over. But, those who advocated his election four years ago must take the responsibility for his short-comings so far as our group is concerned. PAGE EIGHT The St. Louis Argus MEMBER SUPPOSE NOBODY CARED? THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1920 INTERVIEWS WITH PROMINENT ARTISTS Watch for this column next week and see what Mr. Noel Poepping, prominent St. Louis Symphony Orchestra musician, has to say concerning Negro music in a special interview. Mr. Poepping is quite a student of Negro music. He was responsible for the orchestration of the memorable numbers which Prof. Gerald Tyler composed for the children's pageant held at the Coliseum several years ago. It will be interesting to know the impressions and reaction of professional musicians of the white race towards Negro music in general, including the famous jazz music of which they are the originators, as well as the spiritual, American representative music. Mr. Poepping is certain to give an intelligent and unbiased view on the subject that should be informative and instructive. This will be the first of a series of interviews with different representatives of the arts, which it is hoped will be of interest and value in giving a more familiar acquaintance with the arts, and creating a true appreciation for their values in the lives of all peoples. THE GOOD MEN DO (Continued from last week) Mr. Tanner has traveled in the far East-Palestine, Egypt, Algeria and Morocco. The number of his noted and valuable paintings is quite large. One "The Disciples of the Font" in the Chicago Institute of Art, won a $500 prize as being the best picture painted by any American artist during a year. This picture was bought by that institute for $2,000. Recently Mr. Tanner exhibited and sold-quite a number of paintings, in New York at excellent prices. One is reported to have brought $2,000. Four of Mr. Tanner's high-class paintings are now on exhibition in Cincinnati, and can be bought at prices far below their real value. They were painted in Georgia, and although among his earlier productions, art critics say their artistic finish is excellent and popular today. They are framed in excellent up-to-date style. One of them entitled, "The Ox Cart," four by six feet in size, has been bought by a group of the Alumni of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., and will be a permanent asset to that Institution. It will be seen and admired by thousands of students in the coming years, and will be a perfect memorial to the greatest artist of the Negro community. One three for sale, three by five feet, in size is a marine and named "The Rockwaters" and pictures with wonderful artistic effect, a great steam on the New Jersey Atlantic Coast. Many art critics rank this artwork very high. Another for sale, three by four feet in size gives a striking and realistic forest scene to the midst of which a deer with her tawn is nearing a stream of water to drink. The other of the paintings for sale gives with wonderful effect the scene of a storm in a mountain forest. The moiety value of these pilings will increase year by year as do the earlier productions of his distinguished artists. Mr. Tanner has received $800 for a plaque, one of which he has given to the water. One of his latest is valued at $3,500. Either of the three paintings named can be secured for much less than value placed upon them by Mr. Tanner. Mr. Tanner says that during the past ten years the only recognition he has had by representatives of his own race, has been the request of several Negro gentlemen to paint a portrait of Booker F. Washington. This certainly is surprising. The Alumni of Clark University has a good example. Other groups may wealthy men and women. They wealthy men and women of color who may desire to purchase a painting by Tanner to adorn their homes and take part in honoring the greatest artist of their race. I shall be glad to correspond with any who may consider the purchase of either of the three paintings named. A good photograph of either picture will be loaned if requested by which some idea can be had of the general look of the painting. St. Louis has the distinction of claiming Dr. S. P. Stafford a relative of Mr. Tanner, as a citizen. Od': $30,000 Beauty The success of the Shrine Band's debut as a radio entertainer as was demonstrated in its broadcast from station WCK is still being promoted. Prof. William Blue, National Music Director of the American Woodmen and conductor of the Shrine Band, stated that the organization has been assured of an early return program. She received a receipt of numerous phone calls for encores to their numbers, the Delmont Theatre is said to have picked up the broadcast of the concert thereby rendering an hour of highly appreciated entertainment as was evidenced by the continual applause of the audience at the conclusion of each number. Verdi's "Alla," operatic description of a Hun who ruthlessly wandered through the German territory in the 16th century, was the principal number of the evening. Entenments, clearly attacks and releases, playful undererings and particular composition were established by the Shrine Band as one of the best radio performers ever presented by station WCK. Mr. Haskell, baritone soloist and composer, sang the "Aria from the Masked Ball" by Verdi and two songs of his own composing. Mrs. Wilkerson rendered a piano solo, Mendelsohn's "Capucino". Their selections gave a pleasant variation to the program. Myrte Cain, Farmer-Labor member of the Minnesota legislature, is believed to be the youngest woman legislator in the country. Different kinds of business have different degrees of importance attached to them generally in proportion to the nature of the fagulities which they respectively call into operation. This is quite natural, and therefore right. We unavoidably look with greater respect on an exercise of the highest intellectual powers, than on the extortion of the hands in some labor calling for little skill. But the respect, ability of which various degrees are attached to different laborers, is altogether independent of that general respectability, or rather dignity which belongs to all laborer. We must be careful then not to lose sight of the dignity which belongs to every honest man who gains his bread by his own labor, however humble, in comparing him with some other laborer who has a little more than he of the secondary dignity grising from greater importance of function. On this point some correction, perhaps, is needed in all departments of society. The member of the upper classes is art, to think only of the inferior forms of importance which an inferior person faces. The operative, forgetting the globe which shines on the head of the humble being who, through conscientious discharge of duties, makes himself independent; and the operative himself thinks on this when he compares his self with that of the other kind of dignity. There are two classes of people for whom it might be well, in an especial degree, to vindicate the dignity of usefulness. It often happens that a man attains distinction from the exertions of his intellect, and acquires respect as one who confers blessings on his fellow creatures, while, from these exertions not being profitable in money, he is obliged all the time to continue this originally humble efforts as a tradesman, in order to gain the means of subsistence. Thus, for example, William Goodwin, while engaged in writing many remarkable works, was obliged to bread to keep a book-seller's shop. Franklin continued to be a printer for his own personal support, while rendering such service to the commonwealth his gain, to the credit of a public benefactor. William, while pening some of the treaties he acknowledged to have great effect in his business, was contented to live mainly by borrowing a few young men in his army. At the same time there was a work of great merit at Agen, in the south of France, the Burns, indeed, of his province; but M. Jasminus while multitudes delight in his writings, and sound his praises, was happy to exercise in a little shop his original profession of a hair dresser, and there received daily, with modest dignity, the visits of persons of rank, who came to pay their respects to him.

Women will be allowed to attend the college hereafter. They may go to Virginia Union University through Hartshorn Memorial College and win recognition there. has the great opportunity of ministering to the young people of Virginia open before her. Three new buildings are necessary, and the endowment must be increased to meet the increased expenses involved. Accordingly President W. J. Clark has outlined the following program: First, three new buildings to cost approximately $100,000 each. Secondly, the endowment must be increased by $200,000. increased by $500,000. Excursion Board has offered to hire the $400,000 for an endowment fund, provided we raise $300,000 for buildings. That makes us half through the campaign. In the allotment of the amount to be raised by the University, President Clark has planned to secure $200,000 from white friends and $100,000 from colored friends through the Alumni of the Union. He wants to begin work on the buildings next summer. NEW $250,000 CHICAGO COLORED CHURCH BOMBED CHICAGO, IL. Jan. 27—The first reaction of the Nordies to the recent purchase of the B'Nale Sholom Temple Israel, at 53rd and Michigan avenue by the Bethsheda Baptist church for $250,000, displayed itself last week when the church was slightly damaged by a bomb. Rev. E. T. Martin declared that the church, which his congregation plans to move in shortly, is protected by $200,000 insurance. FIGHT FOR DELINQUENT COLORED GIRLS' HOME RALEIGH, N. C., Jan. 28—Last week two little delinquent colored children, John and Laura Lockhart, were sent to the State Penitentiary with their mother, because there was no other place in the state to care for them as there is for white boys and girls. Almost at the same time, Miss Julia Alexander, from the same town where the incident occurred, Charlotte, the only woman in the general assembly, was introducing a bill for the establishment of a state industrial school for colored delinquent girls. The bill carries with it appropriation of $25,000 for the school. The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs has been fighting for a school for delinquent colored girls for the last six years: CLEVELAND P. WHEATLEY ASS., AIMS FOR $600.000 CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 27—A drive for $000,000 was scheduled to be started here sometime during this week by the Phyllis Whettley Association. The campaign is to be carried on by white and colored committees who will canvass the city. Of the sum to be raised, $500,000 will be used for a new home for the Association, while $50,000 will be used for the purchase of a new camp site and the construction and equipment of camp building. The work of the Association and the Phyllis Whettley House in Cleveland, of which Jane E. Hunter of South Carolina is the life's blood, has become known as excerptary throut out the country. National A. M. E. Councils Meet In N. C., February WILMINGTON, N.

Bishop H. E. Parks of Oakland, Cat. will preside over the Bishops' Council, while Rev H. Y. Tooke, of Jacksonville, Fla., will have charge of the ministerial body. BREAD INCREASE LOOMS AS WHEAT PRICES SOAR CHICAGO, IL. Jan. 28—An increase of one cent a loaf, in bread prices is the prospect that faces housewives of the country as results of, the highest market bids for wheat in 60 years. Buying of millions of bushels of May wheat by the general public and by foreigners forced the delivery up to 42.65% cents, Wednesday. Vast quantities of wheat changed hands in one of the wildest days ever experienced in the records of the country, largely by a class of traders who were characterized by commission houses and brokers as "eleventh hour bulls," but the smaller traders ran the market from start to finish, and apparently regarded the quotations as simply chalk marks on the blackboard instead of actual wheat, as though the market would not be here tomorrow. The turnover in the speculative wheat market for the day was estimated at between 90,000,000 and 100,000,000 bushels representing one side of the fraction of wheat established in a record since accurate figures as to the volume of business have been kept. Another advance of 55 cents in the best grades of spring when patent flours was announced here late in the year. The amount to retail $11.65 per barrel, and an advance of 1 cent or more in bread is expected. WOMAN BEATS COP Wilmington, Del. Jan. 28.—Battling alone with a husky woman for more than an hour, Patrolman Lynch was dragged from the first floor to the cellar, where the struggle continued until reinforcement arrived and ended the unequal fight. Lynch had been sent in answer to a call from William Egrinnage, of No. 914 French street, that his foster daughter, Marie Johnson, was half-crazed and raising a disturbance in the house. When the officer arrived at the house, he knocked on the door. After more than an hour, Lynch's prolonged absence caused another officer to be sent to learn why he had not returned. The combined efforts of Lynch and another officer finally landed the woman in a police cell, where she was given a hearing. Dr. Terry M.

SCHOOL OF RELIGION OF HOWARD UNIV. IS AIDED Priorst News Service WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 23. In interest of the school of religion, the oldest department of Howard University, which originated in 1862 in a prayer meeting in the First Congregational church, Dr. William G. Gorton spoke at that church last Wednesday night in place of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of the university, absent because of illness. Contributions were received and pledges taken in support of the $100,000 permanent endowment fund of the school, which receives no funds from the government for the maintenance or equipment. Dr. Gorton outlined the problem of training of non-religious leadership, and called attention to the fact that of 1,800 educated ministers required for 42,000 colored churches yearly, last year, only 52 were graduated from accredited institutions. He said: "Statistics show that there are 1,600 uneducated colored ministers entering the pulpit each year. This situation must be changed if religion is to be the great rodentive force in the race, and the force which develops their inter-racial relationship.

(13:10-10) GIVES THANKS FOR A DEATH SENTENCE Associate I Negro Press. York, Pa. Jan. 28.—Arthur Jordan, convicted of murder in the first degree for the killing of Wiley Felis, was sentenced to death Monday by Judge Nevin M. Warner. When Jordan was called before the bar, he talked for five minutes, saying he did not have a fair trial, as one of the jurors was asleep while the evidence was being heard. After Judge Warner completed imposing sentence, Jordan remarked "Yes, sir, thank you." NEGRO EDUCATIONIN VA. IS RAPIDLY INCREASING PART TWO There Are Thirty-One County Training Schools. The Jeanes Fund And Rosenwald Schools Doing Much For The Race. By Wm. Anthony Aery HAMPTON, Va., Jun. 26.—W. D. Gresham of Richmond, State Supervisor of Negro Education, spoke at a general assembly of Hampton Institute workers and students, which was held in Ogden Hall, on "Some Problems of Negro education in Virginia." In 1925, according to Mr. Ogden, Virginia had approximately 225,000 colored children of school age (7 to 29 years). Of his number there were enrolled in the public schools last year 157,413. The average attendance was 110,358; about 70 per cent in Virginia, the 157,413 colored teachers, of whom 3100 two- and only 472 are men. In Virginia there are 1945 school buildings for colored children, with 3514 rooms and an average of 44 pupils per room. There are still in Virginia, 1272 one teacher colored schools and 3561 two teacher schools. The movement is toward consolidating these small schools and building 3, 4, 5 and 6 room schools. The average length of term in small colored schools is 144 days or 7.15 months. There are no counties with a shorter term than 5 months, and there are only 2 counties in the State where the term is in five months. County Training Schools During the present school year there are in Virginia for colored boys and girls 31 county training schools, with 19 teachers. Eight of these schools have a term of 9 months; one has a term of 10 months; and 22 have term of 12 months each. The enrollment in these schools is 6854 (3001 boys and 3444 girls). While these schools do not yet rank as high schools, there is one county training school, which is about to qualify as an necertified four-year high school. This is the Virginia Randolph School," in Hirschfield County, which is a few miles out of Richmond. One of the county training schools is a junior high school. It is located at Harrisonburg in Rockingham County. One of the county training schools is as far white high schools, and are certificates for colored teachers, the same as for white. In the county training schools there are above the seventh grade, 989 pupils, 729 girls and 200 boys. **Work of Jeunes Teachers** In Virginia there are at work 58 Jeunes industrial supervising teachers (4 men and 14 women). These teachers receive $100 per year. The income for salaries follows: from State funds, $17,000; Jeunes Fund, $10,250 and local funds, $13,050. These men and women go in and out among the colored homes and schools and help in every possible way to improve community life. 220 Rosenwald Schools Julius Rosenwald, a. Chicago millemiare, during the recent years has given about $2,500,000 for the building of rural colored schools throughout the 14 Southern States. This year $40,000 are being spent in Virginia for this type of school. Up to January 1 Mr. Rosenwald had helped to build 2000 schools for colored children. North Carolina ranks first with Virginia for rural ranks, fifth with 220 schools. This years program in Virginia calls for about 45 schools. The Rosenwald schools in Virginia which have cost over $850,000 have beeped paid for as follows: colored people have, given $25,240 or 27 per cent; Rosenwald Fund $141,700 or 10 per cent; the white people, $15,808, a life over 1 per cent; and local funds, $400,830 or 60 per cent. $400,830 or 61 per cent attended the four Virginia summer schools, including Hampton Institution. Mr. Gresham ordained the following educational needs for Negroes; better school facilities, longer terms, better buildings, more high schools, another State normal school, and, above everything else, more and better teachers Mr. Gresham said that there were five needs of the colored people of Virginia: more intelligent and consecrated leadership; more faith and trust in one another; greater recognition of the true value of team work; an understanding and use of the advantages which they treat; and an understanding of the true value of education. "What we all need, white and colored alike," said Mr. Gresham, "is a greater interest in one another. We all need a little more charity. We should not judge a whole race by the acts of a few individuals. There are good people and there are good colored people and there are good colored light and let it shine into the dark places where there is ignorance and gloom and sorrow." Rosewall Schools Through the re-operation of the Juline Rosenwald Fund, 112 buildings for Negro school children have been completed during the present year. The Fund has approved 281 additional buildings to be completed before June 30. According to Francis W. Shepardson, secretary and acting director of the Julina Rosenwald Fund, it looks as though the 1923-24 record of 485 Rosenwald schools will be broken during the present school year. A report on 2005 buildings shows that North Carolina recently led having 447; Mississippi. 304; Alabama. 203; Louisiana. 203; Virginia. 212; Tennessee. 203; South Carolina. 300. From 2005 schools engaged downward. of $600 and a pupil-capacity of 287,820. The total cost amounted to $10,445- 543. Toward this total cost there was given from public—funds: $5,082,321; from Negroes, $2,311,917; from Roswald- Fund, $1,907,177; and from the white people, $12,128. Questions And Answers In Negro History BY GEORGE WELLS PARKER author of "The Children of the Sun" Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere, if of general interest and not too long, will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject is not suit- able, letters will be personally answered, subject to proper limi- tions, when an enclosed veil is enclosed. Address all communications to George Wells Parker, the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chi- icago, Illinois. —Copyright, 1924, by Associated Negro Press. Who was Soothsongh? G. L. F. Pensacola, Fla. Sophisisla, was the daughter of Hostribal of Hamamel. She was reared to hate Rome. She was influenced to Mushulsa, king of the Numidians, but was given by her father to S菲us. S菲us insisted that this marriage be annulled; but the Numidian sent her a bowl of poison, which she drank without hesitation. She has been the subject of many dramas in French, Italian and English. What city or town in the F. S. A. has the Negro made the greatest relative progress in industry, commerce and profession? T. C. A. Chichell, III. This question can hardly be answered of hand. It would require considerable study and the data for such study is not to be held. Who was Proster John and when did he死?—4. M. L. Cunningham, Neb. Proster John is a character about which a great deal of fiction and mystery has been woven. He was said to have been a king of Ethiopia and richest than all the monarchs of the world. One legend claims him to have been the son of the Queen of Sibba abomina, another claims the name refers to the king of Ethiopia while still mother chasing he was the ruler of the Magi or wise men. During the Middle Age much was sold and written about Proster John and of his wealth and many sought him, but he remained a mystery. I have heard that one of the constellations was named after an Ethiopian queen. Is this true, and which one is it?—T. R. J., Philadelphia, Pa. A great many of the constellations have been named after African heroes and heroes, but I presume you refer to Cassiopeia, queen of Ethiopia. She is said to have bonsted that the beauty of her daughter Andromeda, surpassed that of the nerds of the sea. This angered Neptune, god of the waters, and he brought a deluge upon Ethiopia. The penalty was to china. Andromeda to a rock to be destroyed by a sea monster, but Persus, the crechean hero, treasured her and married her and founded the royal house of Argos. Where was Roland Hayes born?—G. F. D. Rawshy, N. Y. He was born in Curryville, Georgia. Were the Egyptians acquainted with glass blowing?—H. P. O. Wheeling, W. Va. Yes. Glass blowing was practiced in Thebes 3300 B. C. and in practically the identical manner in which it is practiced today. Have the West Africans any multiethnic?—S. S. W. Indiaapolis,印 No. There are many mission schools, but no universities of the name. The West Africans have been agitating for a university for some years. At present the wealthier of the natives are their children to Europe to be educated. Who was the African woman mentioned in history as the ruler of the island of Rhodes?—F. D. D. Corinth Miss. Polyxo. She was a native of Arzov in Greece and is descendant of the Egyptian colonists. She was Tizakhak, the Cushite invader of Judah, a Negro?-K. L. P., Denver, Colorado. Cushite was a general tarin applied by the Jewish writers to black races and especially to Ethiopians. Tizah was probably the same person as Teachoo, the Ethiopian conquerer mentioned by Stepbo and the same as Tarakos, the Ethiopian king of Egypt whose name appears in the list of Manetho. Was Caracalla, emperor of Rome, a full-blooded Negro?-F. W. W. Cairo, III. No. His father, Septimus Severus, was a native of Africa and his mother, a Syrian woman, wife of Severus. Severus, as emperor proved a great and firm leader, but his son, Caraculis, was something of a tyrann and depot. He built the Caracallium baths which were one of the wonders of Rome. ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JANUARY 30.1925 Things to remember: "The Sage of Amnesiac" spelled his last name "Donglass"; while the immortal Paul Dumont spelled his middle name "Lawrence". A large number of people spell his name "Lawrence". The proper way to spell persons' name is the way he spells it. The Honorable Olivier Randolph, of Newark, N. J., was recently "let alone as Assistant United States District Attorney, ostensibly because his salary was dismissed. Randolph is a stained Republican, and has a misogynic following. He serves republicans, will look as if he is saintly sighted as to overlook a satisfactory adjustment of the Rindolph case. Governor and Mrs. Lee Thinkle of Virginia were recently honored visiters at the First Baptist church, Richmond, where the governor delivered a styleful address and Mrs. Thinkle governed the large audience with a violin solo, Governor Trinkle, a Democrat has made himself very popular with Colored Virginia by his attitude of fairness in the administration of his high offices. He is regarded by Virginiaians as a "Star of the first magistrate" in the "new voice" that has come into hearing in the South. The Honorable C. Bascom Shupp, Secretary to President Coxhill, has offered his resignation to take office March fourth. The Honorable, Everett Sanders, Mem'er of Congress from Indiana, will be his successor. Mr. Shupp entangled his office as Secretary with strong protests from "Sun-Kissed America." He has come out with these down and will retaliate with the commendations of all who have had deserved office since Mr. Shupp's induction. Mr. Sanders, being a Hoosier, "is naturally a politician of Class A, but is known to be generous, popular and a hard worker. He will soon get on to the face of the "boys" who have business with the Chief Executive. "Questions and Answers in Negro History" by George, Wells Parker of The Associated Negro Press Staff, is regarded by content thinkers as the most constructive department established for racial journalism in years. Parker is an acknowledged authority on the subject, and he is effective in affecting the darker people of the world, and the newspapers of the nation are displaying fine judgment in the fine presentation of Mr. Parker's opinions. Too long has Cedered America been "asleep at the switch" taking the white viewpoint of darkened history of the world. It is a new furniture, an own facts, and a sense white historians are now endowing to tell the truth. President Calvin Coolidge recently delivered an address to a group of editors in Washington, which shows that the President has a fine "close up" knowledge of the power and purpose of the press. He declared that American newspapers are the best in the world. It can be stated on very high authority that the President is equally as familiar with the press of Colored America as he is to the daily public prints. It was 1924 when he passed that President (Harding himself) to the newspaper man, would he interest in newspapers shirts; the keen interest of President Coolidge in newspapers indicates his knowledge of the secret of being in on the know of the world. Front page news for some time to come will be the consolidation of the Standard Life Insurance Company with the Southern Insurance Company of Nashville, Tennessee. There has never been anything in American business just like this venture. It will take some years to tell just how the matter is going to work out. In the meantime, because of what the Standard has meant in the development of racial confidence in big business, adverse comment will be at the minimum because of the indulgent hope that "all things work together for good." CLEMENT WOOD ON "BURSTING BONDS" "Bursting Bound" is a knockout. The slighter touches. "Garfield" Pickouts, the stick of dynamic image about the mixed blood the first sentence. She could thread her own needle when she was eight years of age, the wagon-body head, the pictures of Southern towns, the two children who stayed home a day to, turn the chair down mounting up to such a sharpness as sustained story as the account of our expedition of the Pullman going South—these are memorable, unique, and gripping to read. The last named incident is as exciting a story as I have recently encountered. Why? Because the reader felt it was all true. GASTONIA. N. C. Dec. 31. — So thoroughly was the broom of the law sweeping up the business of booot-leggers in this county, a pre-Christmas convention was called by the liquor ring in West Gastonia. The same secretory prevailed that might have forlorn at a K. K. K. meeting. It being impossible to learn who were the speakers and what definite steps were taken to evade the law, except that a number of manes on the preferred lists of the booot-leggers were struck off and denied Christmas service because of the fear that they were not aware with Colorful News "Movies" Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman Ophions of a Few— So fond is Missy of Company that comparisons have frequently been made between Negroes and Jews, with the assertion that the latter are as often he objectives of sewn and social hatred as are the former. It may be that Negroes are more affected in the mind of a son of Palestine, who is now a candidate for high degrees in one of America's leading universities. The Jewish gentleman, whom we know personally, was also most apologetic and cordial in his approach, was quite clever enough to preface his remarks by a reference to the late Booker T. Washington, when he quoted as having said: "Our greatest danger is that in the great leap from slavery to freedom, we may overlook the fact that the masses of our own hands are the production of our own hands, deserving of praise, and all the masses, white and black, are subject to the same rule. However, we think it somewhat overemphasized with regard to the brother, who like the racial contemporaries, years for a graduation day, now and then, from the pick and shaved." Our Jewish informant continued by saying that "in the Negro's eyes, of incentive is found a great part of the cause of the worry in this" called Negro problem. We can hardly ignore this philosophy. The much incentive than to suit the other fellow is the thing that makes his palm itself to claim the tightly mans us. Our philosopher rambled on his stating: "We find the major part of the Negro workers in the field of unskilled labor due in some cases to his lack of education, in some by exploitation by the white people, in other cases to the lack of assimilation which exists between the white and Negro races, in further cases to the awkwardness of the race, and finally in the distinctions shown against the race." Amen, with some reservations as to assimilation and awkwardness. We thank our informant for hisribute to the Negro "painter, poet, actor, singer, physician, lawyer, and in fact all the "girlfriends which he had to work to file hearts content." Our friend was a little "gusty" upon certain social conditions distasteful to us all. He said, very gloriously, "It is a regrettable fact that the colored people should, if they actually do look for social equality with the white race." Personality, we have witnessed a about fifty-seven different varieties of social equality, many of which are existing under misnomers. The increasing number of misnomies is one phase of the social equality game which we would like to see thrown in the discard. In conclusion, it can be seen that the group million mile net is not paying homage to the social equality company' deftice. That group considers itself well out of the woods and is completely bushing on the sides of independence, viewing our life in the same academic way and in the light of the same philosophies pursued by the other white groups. Clearly, its our move. Michigan and Missouri March Forward Mennigan and Missouri March Forward Forward-looking movements of great grificance, economically and socially are taking place in the States of Missouri and Missouri, where state officials favor and support of the 'Negro population. In Michigan C. A. Campbell, a Negro special agent attached to the State Department of Tabor and Industry, has visualized a wide expansion of agricultural tern- ory, upon the soil of which Negro farmers and agriculturists may find a wealth of employment in farming and agricultural occupations, which are quite as important as the anvil chorns of a factory or industrial plant. In Missouri, another State official, Robert S. Cobb, has copied an Illumina- tating report upon the conditions surrounding Missouri Negroes. Mr. Cobb has emphasized the importance of facts and figures relating to industry, agriculture, health education, nursing, migration and the resulting influence which may "make or break" the Missouri Negro population, present or future. If nothing more had been done by these two officials than to pen a true picture of facts and influences bearing upon their brethren, their official work would have been outstanding. But the gentlemen have gone a step further. They have made recommendations to their chief advisers, and they have pointed out to the country at large what may be done to put all the citizens of their states upon a party thus equitating labor and protecting their happiness and home. The reason is that one, and there is no reason under the sun who the people of Michigan and Missouri, both white and colored, should hesitate to take it. It contains antidotes for such events, as have had such harmful effects in East St. Louis, Chicago and Washington, and is a neo-peek-like step in the journey to interracial peace and progress. "Cold-Blooded Business" The Manager of the Steamship Line of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, Inc., whose new vessel, the "Booker T. Washington" is riding the bounding billows, somewhere between New York and the West Indies, quotes in New York press articles that we are on cold-blooded business lines. We do not intend to end-rated. All we want is a successful deal. WILL ATTEND THE PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETING THE NEW YORK TIMES Progressive Editor of the East KNOGVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 26 That there is need for concerted action on the part of all publishers of Nexo newspapers throughout the country, with a view of promoting cooperation for the common good of the race's "Fourth Estate," is stressed in a statement issued during a few days by Webster II Press in connection with the Knoxville East Tennessee News. Editor Paper calls attention of the approaching meeting of the National Negro Press Association to the held in the city of St. Louis on February 15 and joins with the officers of the organization in appearance to all publishers to attend. Join and lend their aid in making the organization what it should be. "There are several matters in connection with the operation of our newspapers that must be considered," said Editor Porter, "and these will be offered to the association at St. Louis, next month, first among which is the need to work for truth and honesty in all departments of the business." 2. To publish in an impartial nots strain, not unlike the evening tinging of a handshake, or the revenue of the owner of a valley slave ship. It is an interest to the Golden Rule, and if the authority applied to its poor mans, it would make it a world record; more unkind than it is. Let us look at the "Top Book" of "bloodied Business," where the delights make the credits look the grains of sand. **Business** "ruined of Napoleon Bamparte" It was the naval off of Napoleon Bamparte While it made the South become preyrous for a little through the slave trade, its final reckoning cost the South years and years of progress. "Cold-blooded Business" tried to share the value of labor of Paul Laurence Dunbar and have played the songs of Kildun Hayes. Though it had cost our group the heavyweight prize, ring championship at least once or twice. "Cold-blooded Business" has wrestled a number of our banks. It has forced a number of our business enterprises into bankruptcy and failure. Just a short month or two ago, "Cold-blooded Business" had one of our most preyrous insurance companies starred against it. Again it was forced in to the background by merit and justice. "cold-blooded business" and "hard-blooded" methods, in fact, never pay all the way down the line, because their proponents always meet someone who is a little more "cold-blooded" and "hard-blooded" than are the protagonists of such principles. Quiet, honest edifort, tempered with as much feeling for others as we would want them to have for us with prevail over "cold-blooded" business time in and time out, excepting perhaps, in the stock market—and that is not business—it is a profession. Judge Bartlett, Our Late Friend— "The tireless censor of life" span, has obeyed the call of Death by yielding up another stanchion friend of our group in the passing of Judge Ward Bartlett, late Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals. We will remember the amiable Justice, who gifts of candy and money to the ladies the colored children of Middle Long Island, New York. Nor did they worry during the early days of Judge Bartlett about having fire works on the Fourth of July, or plentious goodies during Thanksgiving or Christmas periods, for Judge Bartlett was sure to stop at the house and remember the kinsman and mother and father, also. Judge Bartlett was even brave for everybody and it is strange that he remained on the bench year after year, until he was often the highest judicial associate. gives free from all personal opinion and this, the need to endeavor to be leaders of thought in our editorial and to make all criticism constructive. 3. To keep our news and editorial columns independent of advertising considerations. 4. To decline advertisements which have a tendency to mislead, or which do not conform to business interests. 5. To solicit subscriptions and advertising solely upon the merit of our publications. 6. To cooperate with advertisers in every way and give them full and accurate information regarding the character and extent of circulation. 7. To avoid all questionable practices in competition with other publishers. 8. To support in our papers such worthy measures of public interest as their importance justifies and space permits. To determine what is the greatest service we can render in the field which we serve, and then strive in every legitimate way to perform the service. his State. Justice saturated his whole life and was fulome in his soul long before his elevation to the Chief Judgeship. It seems that mind of our friends of the "vestering" is pressing on and though many, retain the ranks of the old fashioned just folk, such as Powderley, Harford and Bartlett are not cultured. These assertions must be cultured; the growing hand of "vesteringists" must be made to know that in no wise spirit are ordered in combyting the true spirit of America. Justice must not be contemptible. Berch, for it is neglected just as much in the highways and byways where most of the type of Judge Bartlett seem to be few and far between. We are grateful, then, for the advent of much saids he has. From their mourns we can extract wholesome examples of real manhood which may sway the 'peek' who never it has its most savagely. Radio Bandshes "CNAS Line" Vincent Lopez, another radio jazz king, of New York has announced the novel model of incorporating radio broadcasting upon a large scale, with ample entertainment in every city for radio doxettes, and an overhead giant corporation to manage and control the business. While our forecast may be a little premature, it appears, to us that such a venture might do away with the several hundred yards of the color line. For instance, the purport of Neskey's sit in at Lincoln, Georgia, and Bass's sit in Sarah Martin or Alberta Hunter since the "blues," without worrying about social equality. Then Joopman Hudgins, Eddie Hunter or Salem Tutt, Whitney could do their stuff, and the white folks "down home" wouldn't know whether they were listening to Al Johnim Jim Corbett or Liqel Barrymore. Ford Dabney or "Crickett" Smith's orchestra could play "Somebody Loves Me" and the "Solid South" would think it was, Vincent Lopez himself. This would gradually enlighten the country, so that racial comparisons might eventually operate on the basis of the "Theory of Limits." Everybody might gradually learn to love everybody and forget about Alkeban and hues, and hair texture. Oh, the ado has so color line. Who knows but that it might finally make "Missie" the quarantine sign from the hues of "Company"—interracially speaking you. NEW LAPLATION OF The St. Louis Argus 2312.14 Market St. PAGES 9 TO 14 DR.W.S.BROOKS TELLS OF TRIP Has Mighty Experience On Return Trip To Africa During Raging Storm Day of Biscay, Dec. 25, 1924. To the Editor of The St. Louis Argus. Please publish the following in your paper upon receipt of same: On this day, the anniversary of the birth of our Lord, we find ourselves on our way back to the Dark Continent to tell again the story of His coming two thousand years ago. We sailed from New York on Thanksgiving Day, aboard the Hampton Association Timer. Dedicated to launched the mainland of Europe nine miles to Humboldt, Germany, we were forced to travel days for a southbound vessel, sailing from that port on Dec. 18, aboard the Westminster Liner, "Este." I had looped within this time—to have sight a long letter to the people of America to let them know our plans for the work of the coming few years in Africa, but I have been so spent in body and mind and so busy in working out the smaller deeds that such a letter must be put off until a later date. We are now crossing the Bay of Hispay, and our ship, which seemed so great as man, views bigness, is being lossed about on the ocean's binnacle as though the Almighty were bent in man his insignificance. The wind seems through the rigging, Lightning flashes through the sky, the waves pile high, and angry waters sweep our decks from stem to stern. This vessel might in calm waters, has become as a match box, unable to resist or make a move in its own defense. Never in all my thirty years of travel over the seas have I known such a terrible experience. I have seen many storms that threatened the lives of all those in reach, but always they have a day or a day or so. This storm has ripped me for four days, and in the night the darkness adds its perils. But the God who divided the waters for the Israelites and the Saviour who said, "Peace, be still," has not forsaken us, and we creep slowly forward into the face of the wind, very moving for hours. It is a scarcely moving son, wonderful and terrible, as His lessons often are: the smallness of man with all his boasts, the goodness of God with all His strength. If the storm abates soon we shall come later the Canary Islands in a few days. Shortly after the first of the year we shall be back in the field at Monrovia, Liberia. At Monrovia and to the North and South they are waiting; they are waiting at the millions and at the schools, they are waiting with outstretched hands for them which they know the people of America have sent by us, your messengers. And for those people I wish to thank their benefactors in America, those who have heard the cry of brothers and sisters in darkness and have contributed of their dollars, their clothes, their books, their sympathies. God has blessed you with the joy of giving to your worthy neighbor. That he may continue to bless you all and prosper you both temporally and spiritually is our prayer. I am. Yours for the salvation of Africa. W. SAMPSON BROOKS, The Last Of The Arkansans The last of the Elaine victims are free. The fight had gone into the sixty year, and the result proves the philosophy of fight. If there had been no fight in the N. A. A. C. P., there would have been death for a dozen victims of "hay" and legal slavery for three score. But in spite of the foodish counsel of those who wanted "quiet," this fight was made and kept up, at considerable expense and some peril to individuals, until today as I write the National Office is reading a telegram from Seipio Jones that the last of the six victims who were destined for the electric chair sixty months ago, are now free. This job for the N. A. A. C. P. is not only the greatest job ever done by Seipio Jones, but the greatest achievement of any Negro lawyer in the history of the country. Truly he is "Seipio Africans - Maximus." And as - for the Association, this enlargement would justify the entire enlargement of the States. The blot on Arkansas can not be wiped out, but the fighting group of American Negroes and their white friends have kept the blot off their record by sticking to this matter until it was finished, and finished right.

SundaySchool Lesson Leason for February 1 THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES LESSON TEXT—John 15:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT—Life that abideth in fourth much fruit; brings forth much fruit.—John 15:15. PRIMARY TOPIC—Being Friends of Jesus. NON-OR TOPIC—The Vine and the branches. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Fruit-Bearing Lives. YOUNG PEOPLE AND, ADULT TOPIC—Union With Christ. Under the beautiful allegory of the vine and the branches Jesus set forth the spiritual cheness of Himself and his disciples. 1. The Relationship of Jesus and the Father to the Disciple (v. 13). 1. Jesus the Source of the Disciple's Life (v. 1). He is the true vine. Through the incarnation Jesus identified Himself with humanity, with virtue of His stoning death and resurrection it is possible for the believer to be a partner of His life so that between the disciple and his Lord there is a community of life. As the vine pours its life into the branch, so Christ pours His life into the believer. Our salvation is eternal life because it is the life of the eternal Son in us. 2. The Father Has in His Hands the Discipline of the Disciple (v.1): The "Father is the husbandman." Just as the culture of the vine is in the hands of a husbandman or the discipline of the believer's life is in the hands of the Father. In this disciplinary process. (a) Removes the unfruitful branch (v.2). He does not take the trouble to prune the fruitless branch. The nominal church member, the mere professor, He removes. (b) Purges the fruitful branch that it may produce more fruit (v.2). He restrains our natural tendencies and desires in order that the virtues of the Lord, the fruits of the Spirit, may shine forth. 3. The instrument by which the pruning is accomplished is Jesus' words (v. 3). The disciples already were cleansed by Christ's words, for finds the traitor had been cast out. If the believer's life is to be fruitful in character and service the pruning knife, Christ's words, must be intelligently and regularly applied. 4. The Conditions of Fruit Bearing (xx. 4.7). The supreme object in pruning, the culture of the vine, is fruit. 1. Abiding in Christ (vv. 4-9). As the branches draw sap and life from the vine, so believers must abide in Christ, from whom they derive their purity, strength and wisdom. Indeed, it is a mutual abiding, the discipline in Christ and Christ in the discipline. It is Christ's life expressing itself through the believer. The one thus inducted by Christ will bear much fruit. So great is the displeasure of the Lord with lifeless, unsurvival branches that they are to be "cast forth" "withered," even burned (vv. 6). 2. Christ's Words Abide in Us (v. 7). So mighty is the power of the one who abides in Christ and in whom His words abide that Heaven can withhold no gift from him. 111. The Blessed Issue of a Fruitful Life (vv. 8-17). 1. The Glorification of the Father (v. 8). Through much fruit-bearing, the Father will be glorified (Matt. 5:10). 2. Credentials of Discipleship (v. 8). The only way to prove that one is a child of God is to manifest the characletics of God in one's acts and service. 3. Abiding in Christ's Love and Keeping His Commandments (vv. 9, 10). The way to abide in Christ's love is to keep His commandments. The one who neglects the words of Christ is desistence of His love. It is folly to talk of being in the love of Christ while disobeying his teachings. 4. Fulness of Joy (vv. 11). The way to have fitness of joy is to have Christ's joy in us. 6. Loving one another (vv. 12, 13). The one who abides in Christ and has the life of Christ flowing into him will have a life of love, will love his fellow man, especially his brother in Christ. 7. Friends of Christ (vv. 14, 15). Christ's friends do whatsoever He commands. Being has obedience. He takes us into His confidence and makes known unto us the Heavenly Father's will. 8. Perpetual Fruit-Bearing in Love. With Power in Prayer (vv. 16, 17). Physical Vigor Physical weakness is not a sign of spiritual power. All other things considered, the man or woman who enjoys physical vigor will be able to accomplish more than those who are pumy and ill. How Many? "How many people," says Jeremy Taylor, "are busy in the world gathering together a handful of thorns to sit upon." Our Fears What we fear most is not today's trouble, but that which may happen tomorrow. IF YOU MISS READING THE ARCUS YOU MISS THE NEWS ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY.

Let us rally to this great cause in the possibilities of his race give something for the cause of Christian education. SAMARITAN M. E. The general theme from the perennial theme about A. Doyle was carried over with great effect by the pastor. In his sermon on Sunday, the burden of the sermon was the reality of the "inner man", which we heard, described as transiently more important and vastly superior to the outward man. The text was gleaned as II Corinthians 4:10. The sermon was a very fine one and showed not only complete mastery of the art of argumentation, but was indicative of the full, rich Christian life back of the man who preached it. The Junior Stewardess Board in a special service on Sunday afternoon is bringing Rev. Phleps of the C. M. E. church as speaker. It is hoped that the entire membership will be on hand to give Rev. J.

The speaker drew a word picture of certain conditions in beighted Africa and heatten China to show what it means to be without hope.

BEREA PRESBYTERIAN Sunday is communion day. It is a twentieth century fact. Imagine yourself as explaining its meaning to a person who had never heard of it. It will be a good preparatory exercise and will make your remembrance more real. Members received by the session since December seventh will be fellowshiped. The sacrament of baptism will be administered to the qualified, who desire it for threesome or their infants. If the aim of the Sterling Education bill "includes the education of the entire nation and the stamping out of illiteracy" why should the New Orleans Times-Pickleay be asked to participate? This bill is followed in biggarry and is regarded by Southerners as a vicious blow aimed at the peace and harmony that now exists among all peoples of the South." No so. It is aimed at ignorance and class and race antipathies. It means that the opportunity should have only his capacity and desire. It will mean for the future of the nation, with ignorance and prejudice eradicated, all the children of all the people, studying, playing and working together with one aim and in one spirit. It will mean democracy instead of the present hypocracy. The Ladies Aid meets Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Marla Williams after a long interview, was able to be at church and to respond to that tenure.

Jan. 28. —The most ancient business records ever kept by man, one, a hedger similar to those used today, have been found by a joint expedition of the British Museum and the University Museum at Ur. of the Chaldees, the buried city of Abraham, according to a report received in this city from C. Leonard Wooley, head of the expedition. The report gave details of the first month of this season's digging and continued an announcement of the find of the earliest business records, the booking of the Temple of Canaan in the former capital of the Babylonian Empire, before the time of Abraham. The archaeologists of the museum have also uncovered a great "Hall of Justice," erected in all probability by Nebuchadnezer. The most striking architecture found accompanying in Mr. Wooley, was that of an arch in the facade of one of the buildings uncovered and which he believes moves back the history of architecture, in this respect, to the remotest antiquity.

We are young for a season only. The real life is not that of youth but adult life. Youth is only the stage of preparation for real life; hence we can readily see that in life, as in all things else, where there is no preparation as a rule, there is ever failure. In other words, adult life is always just whatever youth made it. In youth, we are laying the foundation from every angle. If we lay, this foundation well, we shall be enabled to rear a great structure upon it in after years, but if we are over levitons, and lay it in sand, doomed must be the superstructure of real life. And a bad foundation can be laid in so many ways; in riotous living, in dissipation, in levity and hilarity, in the impairment of health, in idleness, in extravagance, in a failure to decide early upon the serious side of life, in the importance of adopting a real life, in the greatest amount of education, and make the greatest preparation possible within your group. We can, as a rule, get a very good indication of what a boy or girl is going to do quite early in life, for whenever we come across one of some years, who never gave indication of a serious thought, but seemed content at all times to "snuggle," "giggle" and "good time" the time away, we may very safely conclude that in them there is altogether a sandy foundation being laid, and that the superstructure will be worth just about as much as the "sand" in which it is being laid. We shall reap no better, halfest than we sow. If we plait acorns we are going to grow oak; not chestnut. If we set it on eggs, we need not expect to hatch turkeys, but we do so is life, we need not expect to wander in the harvest time, when we planted in stubble fields, upon the rocks, in soil which had neither fertility nor preparation.
