WOULD OBSERVE CRISPUS ATTUCKS "BLOOD DAY" An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XIII NO. 42 Equal Rights League Makes An Appeal For The Negro Race Because Of Its War Record. Cites Fact That A Colored Man Was The First To Shed Blood For American Independence. **BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 9.** -Crispian Attacks observations to signalize the 155th anniversary of the day when on March 5, 1770, the Colored American began giving the last full measure of devotion to this county which it has never failed in doing since, are carefully urged by the National Equal Rights League from National headquarters here. The League holds that to make March 8th an annual race day for public honor to this Colored hero who was the first of all martyrs to give his life in actual fight for the indie presence of this country, in a most effective method to keep alive the race's strongest claim to liberty and racial equality, namely its long, unattained record of fighting, bleeding and dying as soldiers in every war of the republic. As "blood is the price of liberty" with the white races, it is urged that March 5 be made our "Citizenship Foundation Day," on which the race has such a logical opportunity to prove and emphasize our original Americanism and our ground-title to every right of citizenship through furnishment of the co-armor to the establishment of the nation. On the day race can well remind white Americans of the great help we have been to them time and again when the country was in serious danger, as soldiers—who have always fought the white enemies of the country's honor or security, with loyalty and bravery. Such a Race Day, representing not what the white race has done for us, but what we have done for our fellow Americans when they asked for sacrifice, can be utilized to lay hard ground for justice of the franchising, Jim-Crowning, and lynching a racial element which has never produced a traitor from Boston Massacre to the World War for Democracy which we helped to win for the saving of white civilization everywhere. Equal Rights Sunday The League especially recommends, in view of the date this year bein the day after inauguration, that in mass meeting the Colored citizens from mass meeting appeals to President Calvin Coolidge to setts to end, color segregation by the federal government at the national government in the name of Attucks, Colored American, the nation's first marryr. "On the day previous let every Colored pastor," the call reads, "pray God for relief from this race discrimination perpetrated by the same national government at whose orders our race has so often should- hold the musket, making it "Equal Rights Sunday." The League will furnish Crisp Attucks leagues by application to the Corresponding Secretary, Wm. Monroe Trottes, 102 Court street, Boston, Mass. INTRODUCES ANTI-EQUAL RIGHTS BILL IN COLORADO DENVER.

The federal government cannot determine what shall be used in these institutions but at their request the bureau of education used its offices to bring into conference with the leaders, experts who recommended improved curricula. Practically all the institutions have reported to the bureau a great development as a result of these conferences. The agricultural, mechanical and normal school at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, has very few chances the recommendations of the conferences have been adopted in their entirety.

Dever For the Associated Negro Press. The crux of the so-called Negro problem is not a difficulty peculiar to this problem, but is the common difficulty of securing from those in actual possession of power the justice due to those so situated that they cannot enforce their just claims. This is the same difficulty that is the crux of the problem between labor and capital, between the small marchant and the powerful trust, between the small nations and the world powers. There is still enough decency left in people to m.ke them, no matter how strong; try to find a cover for their injustices, and so it would seem that publicity would offer a check that would be at least partly effective. It will, therefore, be important to maintain agencies to watch for movements and legal actions against THURSDAY and FRIDAY Feb. 19-20 Extra Special "Dangerous Pleasure" With DOROTHY REVIEW, NILES WELSH, SHELDON LEWIS And An All Star Cast An Astounding Matrimonial Drama.

However, the only real cure will be offered in the conscience of the individual who makes up the people, for as the individuals so will be the nation, the race, the group. It would seem that the remedy must come from either the conversion of those de facto in power to standards of real justice, or from the bringing forth the effacement and power to enforce their just claims, or by the powerful being stripped of their power. That none of these things can be accomplished in a day is a lesson sadly but forcefully taught by the history of the world. Yet this same history teaches that wonderful advances have been obtained in many of these problems by constant and untiring efforts coupled with watchfulness to find and alertness to make the best use of every opportunity that presents itself; and how the opportunity that presents itself small proper to be the which swung the door that opened up new and enhanced for progress. By any one who has studied these difficulties there has not been found any practical means of immediate and complete remedy. Why should not they, all who have this task at heart,仕 inside the Micawber like attitude of waiting for something big to turn up, and get to work seeking and using every little opportunity to break down prejudice and to build up understanding, good will and fair play, and, if any words are addressed to truly God-fearing minds to build up in our own hearts and in others a true love for God and cf our neighbor?

O'Brien and Dorothy McKall James Kirkwood and Lila Lee in Western and Comedy. Wilf Fox's Newest Masterdrama. Recently, E. Ross reported that there is a shortage of labor in the Pittsburgh district. This is absolutely false. Steel mills are running around eighty per cent capacity and must expand greatly to even employ the men now out of work and about to retire. A similar rumor is abroad that several thousands of men are to be employed soon in the Gary district. The mills there have started hiring, but there are thousands of men out of employment in Gary alone. Couple this with the fact that there are more than one hundred and fifty thousand men out of employment in the Chicago district (next door to the Pittsburgh district) a friend would realize that it is not far behind upon irresponsible news, which is no news at all. This same condition is prevailing throughout the north and it will be a little while before industry can expand to that point where all men now out of employment will be able to find work. The quick recovery of business has not come about as expected. Then, there is a gradual improvement in the general tone of business conditions, but the nation through the period of great depression it will recover some time for a complete recovery. Therefore, do not hastily and listen to rumors. Know what you are doing. It is better to be safe than sorry. There will be plenty of opportunity for work, but wait until the opportunity arrives.

Speaking of this added service Mr. Scotty has installed, Music is welcome in time of distress. There is nothing done or said that is as comforting and soothing as the music offered. Compared with music organ, all other music seems harsh and unsympathetic for funeral services, and that is why I purchased this kind of organ. Anybody can play it and get the sweet music. His is the first pipe organ of its kind among the colored undertakers of the city. Mr. Scott has *been* in business sixteen years. As a young man he worked with Krone Undertaking Company for five dollars a month for a long time, then went to Jesse Arnot Livery Company where he worked for seven dollars a week.

PULLMAN CO., OFFERS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO THE COLORED PEOPLE More than Five Hundred Employed in Local Shop, Many Of Whom Are Skilled Mechanics In Their Line One of the large factors of today, in the solving of the economic problems is the part being played by The Pullman Company, particularly, as affects our racial group. To pay a visit to The Pullman Shops, located at 5500 Bircher street, is an education in itself. Here is revealed the wonderful opportunities that we enjoy which only a short white ago were unknown. In a short span of two years, him streets of our men and boys have been schooled in the trades, at present we have among us first class mechanics in all times of work necessary in the building and repairing of a Pullman car. A few years ago. The Pullman Company decided to try a new experiment, that of employing colored help in the shops in mechanical departments. For years our men had served on the sleeping cars as Porters, giving satisfaction, and now a new opportunity was afforded. Under the efficient management of The Pullman Shops, headed by Mr. W. J. Keville as manager and Mr. F. H. Geiger as assistant manager real results have been attained. Much credit is due these men personally for the energies spent and the patience exercised in taking crude untrained men, watching over them carefully, guiding them and transforming them to skilled mechanics able to cope with any men in similar lines of work. Among the trades being performed by these men are Body Builders, Joiners, Trimmers, Wood Machinists, Cabilifters, Makers, Truck and Platform Reformers, Machinists, Wheel and Axle Machinists, Upholsterers, Blacksmiths, Autogenous Welders, Tinsmiths, Plumbers, Steamfitters, Electricians, Mirror Plumbers, Buffer and Platers, Marmor, Grating, Marmorishers, Ornamentors and Millwrights, in the Electrical Division some of our boys are used in repairing and, remodeling axle device equipment, batteries, fans and other equipment. In the Cabinet Department is a young colored man who daily assembles forty battery trays alone, more than any other known workman in the country. One can not help but feel a degree of pride when he sees his own measuring in the marts of mechanical trades with the other races. Quite a few power machines are driven by this same group of men who have mastered in so short a time these varied tasks. He could wonders how this could have been possible in the short space of two years. Kevin the manager, with his corps of miracles believe in specialization assigning a man to a particular task and allowing him to do that alone until he has mastered it. In this way seemingly miracles have been accomplished. We are indeed grateful for this opportunity to show, to the world that we do measure up in skillful endeavor. The Pullman Company is to be thanked again and again for its interest in us. Along with affording the opportunity, they have likewise given remuneration commensurate with the services rendered. Some of the better workers are receiving excellent salaries and everyone is paid according to this. Current Events Hello, Mabel. Hello, Auntie. Are you well, today? Yes, feeling fine, Mabel. I attended the Lincoln Douglas celebration and was very much inspired. Why, Auntie, I planned going, but forget the date and want to the movies. south, Mabel. Preferred Duplex had fought one of the most heroic battles ever fought by any man for his people, before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Why, Auntie, I am glad to have this talk with you. I confess I have not been as thoughtful as I should and whenever the opportunity comes Well, I am sorry, because I am sure you would have heard some things that would have been of infinitely more benefit to you and the rest of us, than the movies. The movies you have with you always, but not the opportunity to hear of the things achieved by the heroes our group. That is true, Auntie, but you know we always observe Lincoln's birthday in the schools. I know you do, Mabel, and as a people, we are always glad to enter into the celebration, because the happiest day known to our group was the day on which the Emancipation Proclamation, that brought deliverance from slavery, bondage to four millions of our people, was signed by President Lincoln. This is right as far as it goes, but do you ever celebrate the birthday of Frederick Douglas in your schools? I think not, Auntie. Can you find anything in the American Educator, used by so many of our children of the life of Frederick Douglas? I have not been able to find anything. Auntie. Well, Mabel, the histories and encyclopedias were not written by our group, and if the memories of our great men are to be kept alive, they must be kept alive by our group. The name of the lifelong child mean much to our children, and the mention of it should bring the same response that the playing of "Dixie" brings from the other group in the ability. Starting at a set rate increases are given just as soon as the workman proves himself worthy. The Pullman Company at the same time has not lost sight of the health happiness and safety of the workers. Every worker, has a locker in which he keeps his paraphernalia. A staff of two registered Nurses are maintained, one at the shops and one who visits the homes of the employees, they tendering aid to employers their families who may have suffered their illness. In addition, a physician is visiting, making visits daily to the shops. Free examination of the eyes are made by the Specialist and goggles fitted to each employee's eyesight, being furnished to the employees free of charge. The Safety Department under the supervision of Mr. P. A. Lovely, is maintained. To be sure that the employees are happy, to see that they get their interest looked after, T. A. Crenahaw, who has been with The Pullman team has been engaged as World Worker. It is his aim to build a relationship among the men that will make for their betterment and happiness at all times. A Cafeteria is also provided where wholesome meals are served at a nominal fee. The cook and waitresses are all of our people. Of the eight hundred employees, more than 65% are colored. There are men who have been promoted to Group Leaders, viz: Messra, McFarlane, John Newton, Simms, Jenkins, David Guest, Livingston, Robertson and Thomas. The Pullman Company and the efficient force under the leadership of Manager Keville have rendered to the race a wonderful opportunity and we are grateful indeed to them. Should the opportunity ever present itself it is well worth anyone time to pay a visit to this remarkable institution. T. A. Crenshaw, Welfare Worker. DOUGLASS LIFE NOTES "Bradshaw Comes Back" "The many friends of Mr. W. Tecumseh Bradshaw (familiarly known as 'T') will be pleased to know of his return to St. Louis. Mr. Bradshaw, for three years connected with the Standard Life Insurance Compa- Atlanta, Ga. has made an enviable record both as field man and Agency three years served in St. Louis as an agent. For a while then was transferred to Lexington Ky., as Agency Director of West Kentucky. He was later placed in charge of the entire state of Kentucky with headquarters at Louisville. So successful had he been in the handling of the district that when it became known he was contemplating leaving, the Home office sent a special representative from the official staff to interview him. In addition to two Kentucky concerns, an Illinois Company sent officials to endeavor to obtain his services. The Douglass Life Insurance Company is to be commratulated upon having been successful in securing Mr. Bradshaw. He has had special training and actual experience which well fit him for the Agency Division with which he will be connected. In speaking with Mr. Bradshaw he stated that although some of the offers from other companies were more remunerative, he felt he owed his support to aid in the building of a stronger institution. Hence his connection with Mr. Bradshaw. These who have watched closely the development of the Douglas Life Insurance Company have witnessed rapid strides in the past few months. A well defined program of expansion has been followed. The financial needs being completed and within a few months being answered he asked of the State of Missouri to do an Old Line Legal Reserve business. In line with the expansion south. Mabel Frederick Douglas had fought one of the most heroic battles ever fought by any man for his people before the signing of the Enamelation Proclamation. Why, Auntie, I am glad to have, this talk with you. I confess I have not been as thoughtful as I should and whenever the opportunity comes again, I shall avail myself of it. I hope you will, Mabel, and I trust the day will come when more attention will be paid to the birthday of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The names of Sidney Lanier, Charles Dickens, Charles Lamb, James Russell Lowell, and whose birthdays are worthy of cobservance. They are not members of our group, but Dunbar is, and although on 6-6-6, 18 years have passed since he died, his poetry still lives, and will always be reed by some. Auntie. I have always enjoyed the recital of Dunbar's poems, but, I never could read the dialect. Auntie. I always be true, but you are not acquainted with his works. If you think it all dialect. I had gotten that impression from others. Auntie. Well, get a copy and read for yourself, Mabel, and whatever else you read. Fe sure to read his "Ode to Ethiopia." He was forced to defend his people from unjust criticism made by a learned gentleman of the other group, at a gathering in Toledo, Ohio, and his weapon was this poem. After his recital, that gentleman had several thoughts; but they were unlike the ones he had before listening to Dumbar. Now, Mabel: don't you think his name and works should be kept alive? I really do, Auntie, and I am going to read more of the lives of our great men. program it is the purpose of the management under the leadership of Mr. Wm O. McMahon to secure the services of competent men to carry on this new branch of work.

Negro National League Shows Great Strides In Few Years Feeling Of Harmony And Prosperity Prevails At Meeting In St. Louis Recently. Club Owners Vote To Back President To The Limit In Effort To Build Great League. By Natl. Sport Writers' Assn. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 11.—With the meeting of the Negro National League in St. Louis, Mo., recently and the proteasworthy spirit shown by all the attending members of the league, it seems that the year 1925, the club will change to consider concerned, will go down in the history of the game as the league's greatest season. any number of the league. With the league schedule split in, to sections of fifty games each with a pennant winner at the end of each half, it is predicted that there will be a greater fight made by all clubs of the circuit to land the flag which will be held at the club for the privilege of playing in the world series. From all indications 1925 is going Never before at any of the previous meetings has there ever been exhibited such a wide range of good feeling and satisfaction with the league and its officials as the recent one—and it is this fact, along with the things which of necessity will follow this spirit, that is the one big factor in the optimistic scheme of the league life. The meeting brought out the fact that within the past three or four baseball seasons there have been great and lasting strides made to place the game on fifm ground—perpetuate the national game so that in the next posterity might view its record with just pride. Some of the Accomplishments Among the—accomplishments of the league since its existence will be found that of the baseball player— the hardest factor in the game to deal with. The league has made for him a place where he can an- more than ever before playing inde- pendent ball. It has made of him something heretofore unheard of a potent factor in the financial end of the game. It has made of him an asset to the league and the city which he represents. It has given him a chance to expand, his limit lives within himself. There are also, the club owners of the league. They too, have progressed and prospered according to the amount of intelligent business ability displayed and utilized in the carrying on of their club, their fullness, for today the game is a business. Owners of the club who formerly earned a very small sum from the efforts of their clubs now deal in thousands of dollars annually. Where they formerly were pushed to scrape up a hundred or two on short notice, they now slap down a certified check for a thousand or two. What a change. Through the guiding hand of its president, Andrew R. Foster, the Negro National League made possible the playing of the world's first Negro World Series, a thing which alone should entitle any body of men to a spot in the sunshine of public play, brought forth by both the Browns and the West, the sense of that something greater in the game than personal glory. It has taught them the lesson of team work, for by forgetting self and playing for the team they will be enabled to win a place perhaps on the contesting club with the glory of a championship game—and the apolis. League Roster Filled The dropping of the Detroit Stars from the league will in no way injure or halt its program. The Detroit players remain practically intact and there have been many applications made for a league franchise for that city. Mr. Pierce of California and his associates being granted a franchise at the recent meeting in St. Louis. The failure of the Cleveland club owners to obtain the meeting resulted in another opening which was cared for immediately by the granting of a franchise to Mr. Warner Jewell and associates of Indianapolis. The cry made about the Memphis club was silenced when Mr. Lewis of the Memphis Red Sox qualified along with the rest of the club owners so that now the league can go its way with a full quota composed of: Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, Indianapolis, Memphis, Birmingham and the Cuban Stars. Rumors and still more rumors of active in the camp of the league were spiked by the club owners themselves at the last meeting when they volunteered the following information: "We, the undersigned owners of clubs, members of the Negro National League, incorporated, composed of the St. Louis Stars, Kansas City Monarchs, Birmingham Black Barons, Memphis Rod Box, Detroit Stars, Indianapolis, Chicago Ameri- canats and Cuban Stars have examined the books, accounts, and records of the league, Inc., which has been under the direct supervision of the presi- dent since the organization of the league, and find that everything is in good order and that every act has been for the host interest of all, collective and individual, and we do hereby go on record as indorsing and sustaining the records of the league and the handling of same. "Therefore as said soldiers are part and parcel of league, col- and individual, and now please our whole hearted support to the president, Mr. A. B. Porter in his efforts to build a big-er and better league—the Negro National League." "We further pledge our support to any movement that has for its purpose the advancement of the game, the players, and the interest in general for which we have banded together to obtain better base, ball and baseball conditions among that portion of the American citizen, known as the Negro." "Signed: Joe Rush, J. L. Wilkinson, Hatchinom, Dr. G. R. Kay, B. W. Kau, and S. R. Lawin." "In addition, we split manifested during the meeting the club owners of the league also qualified for an additional $20,000.00;仕面 from the $1,000 francise forstit, to insure the living up to rules and regulations of the league in order that there will be slight change for a recurrence of the Detroit case by any member of the league. With the league schedule split in to sections of fifty games each with a pennant winner at the end of each half, it is predicted that there will be a greater fight made by all clubs of the circuit to land the flag which will give them a chance to contest for the privilege of playing in the world series. From all indications 1925 is going to be the banner year for the Negro National League clubs. Schedule of the league games which will start May 2 will appear at an early date. CARBONDALE DEFEATS EAST ST. LOUIS HIGH CARBONDALE, Ill., Feb. 10—The Attucks quintet coach'd by Mr. C. O. Rogers added another victory to its 1st Friday night by defeating the "Jumping Jacks" of the Lincoln High School by a score of 19, to 7. The East St. Louis team is a good one, but was out-played from every angle by the Attucks boys, who played with more system and aggressiveness than ever this season. From all indications the "Attucks Five" will be a dangerous rival in all succeeding games. Howard-Lincoln Football Game Brought $18,341.75 WASHINGTON, D. C. 1900, 221. According to official report made by Dr. Empreyt J. Scott, Business Manager of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, which Board has charge of the management of the football classic played at Washington on Thanksgiving Day, 1924, the gross receipts submitted to the 1925-75. This sum represents the largest amount ever before received for a single athletievent in the history of Negro colleges. The receipts from the classis the year before (1923) when the game was played at Philadelphia amounted to $16,578.98. The receipts of the classic here at Washington in 1922 when Howard managed the game amounted to $12,255.39. The total received last November represents an increase of $6,056.36 over the last time Howard managed the classic, and $1,763.77 over the receipts of 1925. In addition, including rent of the American League Park at Washington amounted to $6,343.90 leaving net receipts of $11,997.80, of which Howard as the host receives sixty per cent, or $7,198.68, and Lincoln forty per cent, or $4,799.12. The record set in 1924 by Howard Lincoln will undertake to break at Philadelphia on Thankgiving Day, 1926, but this figure at present represents eight per cent more than manicual return from collegiate event among institutions specializing in the training of colored students. The particularly pleasing feature in connection with the staging of the classic this last year was the unusual case with which the great crowds were handled, both in connection with getting in and out of the park and the securing of the specially reserved seats. Commendation from various sources, included, are the University of Lincoln University, alumni and students of Lincoln, and alumni and students of Howard, have come in connection with this especially pleasing feature of the classic. Next year the management of the gant will be under the supervision of representatives of Lincoln University. MONEY CHECKS A NEW FLOWERS-DELANEY GO AARONIE NEGRO PRESS. NEW YORK, Y. Feb. 11—Ellen G. Coleman with Jack Delaney the boxer who stopped the Tiger in this city recently, failed according to an announcement here Wednesday when it was reported that Flowers demanded more money than Tex Rickard wished to pay in view of his showing against Delaney at the last meeting of the pair. The status of the fight at present is that it is definitely off, but Rick ard intimated that other arrange men might be made to match some one with Delaney. Allentown Joe Gans is said to be under consideration for a return match with Delaney in the big city. AZEANIC CITY, N. J., Feb. 11—Pedro Campo, the brown fighter of Philadelphia defeated Johnny Moseley, Chester, Pa., race lightweight in the eight-round wind up of the Northside Club, Tuesday night Campo's aggressiveness 'won the fight for him. Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 11.—If Tom Gibbons ever faces the brown panther, better known as Harry Wills, he will be a tough opponent with a handicap. Trained to fighting shape, Wills would be some 35 pounds heavier and nearly six inches taller. Gibbons at 36 is three years older than Wills. In this respect Gibbons will hardly meet the boxer. Yet Gibbons wants to be heavy-fish champion, but he does not relish heavyweights. Heavyweights, Wills or Godfrey, who, outside of Dempsey, say the white sports wives are the outstanding figures among the heavyweight fighters. ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, FEB. 13, 1925 FLOWERS WHIPS MORE Associated Negro Press NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 11.—Tiger Flowers won his sixth fight of the year here Monday night, when he won easily over Ted Moore, the white fighter from Europe. In the Realm of Sports ports Walk best to for the pass the p BOHEMIA BOXING CARD The regular Battle Royal was the opener at Bohemia last Friday night. It furnished lots of fun as usual. The first bout was to be a 4 round event between Kid Fraction and Kid Patter. Kid Fraction K. O'D Patty in the third. The second bout was for 6 rounds between Jessie James and Sheenie Wilks. Jessie came out on top. Both of these boys are good. Kid Bolden won from Kid Williams in the 2nd, when Williams forgot to move his chin out of the path of one of Bolden's hard rights. The main event was an 8 round contest between Lawrence Hawkins and Indian Joe. This bout is always a good one. Hawkins had a slight edge at the finish. Joe is the only boy around here who can give Hawkins a real soft, but the fans do not appreciate him. AUTHORIZED' SALESMAN JOHN H. HARRIS Andrew Joplin has the distinction of being the only Negro authorized automobile salesman in this city. He is a regular salesman for the Carrombe Motor Company, 4800 South St., and specializes in selling Ford cars. Mr. Joplin has had quite a success as a salesman for this company because, he says, "I handle the popular cars." Every car sold by the Orchardtec Motor Company is entitled to free periodical service when the customer can have his car inspected, springs groomed, body tightened and general "going over" every month. He also owns the owner many hundreds of dollars. **Success and Appreciation** Mr. Joplin said, when asked to what he attributes his success: "Have you not noticed that progressive dominant nations are always appreciative people? They appreciate good things and therefore attain them." They appreciate the good in individuals and reward them proportionately with their reasons for my great faith in our people is that they are an appreciative people. "Now, I have been in the Ford business more than eight years, and no one denies that I know my business, but to know one's business thoroughly is only the beginning. To be a successful salesman means to accept definite responsibility to one's customers, and this is, by no means, a light or easy thing. Success requires willingness to take infinite pains, the careless selecting of a car, or its indifferent preparation may seem the easy and most expedient way, but it is disastrous to success. The job that just "gets by" is not the job that brings other customers. "Every customer of mine must be a satisfied customer. He must be happy with his purchase and continue to be so. It has been my experience, that the customer is the very best selling asset that a salesman can have. You have heard the saying, 'Every knock is a boost.' Well, I never think of a knock, because I have satisfied customers. "If you want to know the reason for my success, go out and ask my customers, any of them. You will find that they are satisfied and appreciative. Ask my Company. Have them show you some of the letters my customers have written expressing their satisfaction." When you wish to buy a Ford car, see dophin. It does not cost you any more, but helps him much. New or used cars. CHRISTIAN STUDENTS COOPERATE IN SOUTH HAMPTON, MA., Feb. 11—William C. Graeter, secretary of the international Y. M. A. A., recently spoke to the Hampton institute workers and students on "Ventures Made by Christian Students in the South." He referred to the four big questions which everywhere confront Christians students—war, race relationships, capital and labor, and democracy for students or the youth movement. He stated that students throughout the world are attempting to find their place in the world's work. He outlined the after-effects of the student convention at indianaapolis at which some $500 representatives from 600 college, including $80 colored students from 100 colleges, attended through rank discussion. He also claimed that would have them solve perplexing problems. He referred particularly to the later-racial co-operation of college students' in the South who have during the past year through forum discussion and helpful contacts, come to understand the problems which white and colored people everywhere face. The idol of today pushes the hero of yesterday out of our recollection, and will, in turn, be supplanted by his successor of tomorrow.

Preston News Service Now comes the dispatch that Jack Dempsey, with his revamped nose and wild, wide smile, has been vampied by a movie queen, and the little lady has decreed, as one of the ties in the knot that blinds, that her "daddy" will not fight anymore. So Dempsey releases a notice to the effect that his alliance with Jack the Kearns, one of the shrewdest and most alert managers any champion has ever had, will end on or about May 20. A publicable public has been fed and fed again, time and time again, laterly with special "press" releases concerning the various and varied activities of the champion who never fights, because, as he relates, "he has no fit opponent to meet." Wills, of course, means little or nothing to the "champ." First, he is a Negro; then he is a hitter, and then—well, those whom he might juggle by his absence. In the list, declare that he can certainly sock. But, gullible or not, if Dempsey does refuse, and friend reader, harden not to the sylphlike breezes waited down the trail of sport, to your ears he'll leave behind him a mark of disgrace; that other fighters, be they white or black, will boor at for years without hope of reaching. Ere we go to press again. Tiger thief, to Georgia church, fame, will either be away up the ladder of rebuilt ambition, or sent into that oblivion from which there is no arising. On Monday night, Flowers meets Ted Moore, and if he wins, will once again be near the top of that starry hinter, where the house of every fighter entering the ring of robin. If, perchance, he loses, then call the stage-help, draw the curtain, and mark his behind the name of Flowers. Flowers, in his recent fight with Delaney, was, in the opinion of most of the experts, overworked, or worked too hard on the eve of his most in- portant match. Take heed, Manager Walk, or you are going to send the best meal ticket you ever had, back to the land from which few return, for the sake of a few paltry dollars. An article deserving of more than passing comment, the following from the pen of Ira F. Lewis of The Pittsburgh Courier, has been reprinted here for the sake of the readers of "In the Realm of Sports." It is comprehensive, and causes us to pause and look at one of four most pertinent sight problems from a rather new and unique angle. The article follows: Shades c' Dixon, Alecott and Gans! "Gibbol, knocked out Norfolk in the sixth round. Bertenbach knocks out Estridge in the third round. Delaney knocks out Flowers in the second round. George Godfrey loses to Renault in a decision bout.

"It is utterly impossible to discourage and binder the progress and development of a group in a sport and then suddenly shower opportunities right and left and expect the colored boxers to keep pace and move in the same game in which they have been bractially denied participation. Such is the position of 90 per cent of colored fighters. Due in part to the fancied or real aspersions cast upon the boxing game, by the alleged public encapades of Jack Johnson and later by MKI, the colored boxer has had a hard row to hoe. His lot has been one of poor purses and "hain" engagements, with practically no press support. He could help keep before the promoters. As-stated before he has been discouraged and even hindered to such a degree that it has been almost impossible for him to develop.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 11. Born in 1848, Mrs. Judie Dean of 1616 Hunter street, perhaps the oldest person in the United States, died here last week, at the age of 120 years. Her death resulted in an attack of asthma. Mrs. Dean was born of slave parents on 'the Dean plantation, in Greenwich, South Carolina. She was born to many of the plantation owners for many years, serving Dean family even after the emancipation proclamation. Her husband died before the Civil war. She lived on the plantation thru the most exciting and strenuous periods of our nation's history and is said to have seen several of our early Presidents. Of the American wars she missed but one, the Rovos-Apollonian War, through the War of 1812. Mexican War, Civil War, Spanish American and World War. She lived during the terms of 28 of America's 30 Presidents, missing only those of Washington and John Adams, and the first term of Jefferson. She saw the 17 states, which composed the country when she was born, grow to the United States, which we know today. Durham, N. C., State Normal Building Burns DURHAM, N. C. Feb 11—The dining room, kitchen and several class rooms of the Durham State Normal School were destroyed by fire last Wednesday evening. The flames which caused a loss of 25,000 began in the evening while the students were in the chapel attending evening services and although firemen arrived shortly after the alarm and the students joined the building was shortly after the building was shortly a mass of flames fanned furiously by the high wind. President James E. Shepherd is ar- PAGE SEVEN ranging for the students to take their meals in the community and is organizing the class work so that as little time will be lost as possible. He will supervise immediate plans for the restoration of the buildings. It is considered probable here that the State Normal will be raised to college standing by the state authority. HOUSTON, Tex.

"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil in this present world than race prejudice; none at all" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now.

Baker has refused to reappoint Mrs. Julia Childs Curtis as a member of the Board of Curators of Lincoln University. By so doing, it looks to us as though the Governor is trying to intimidate, or put fear into the hearts of those whom he appoints on this board, especially so, if said member or members show initiative, intelligence, and do their duty as best they know. This is the only charge that could be brought against Mrs. Curtis, even by her worst enemy. Not that we have less faith in Mr. Malone doing his full duty as a successor to Mrs. Curtis, but the action on the part of the Governor, in this case, cannot but be watched with grave suspicion. Everybody who has given the slightest attention to the work at Lincoln University, knows that Mrs. Curtis, rendered most valuable service for her race, hence, the public will wonder if the Governor meant, by his act, to serve a warning to the race, members as to what they may expect if they do their duty. We all like reward for service rendered in an unselfish way, but for the Governor to act as he did; in this case, will be interpreted as the wrong spirit, and the reaction on the feelings of the new members will have its effect in the future. Public confidence is a pretty good asset, Mr. Baker. Aloe is off in the race for the mayoralty election. Get on the band wagon, boys; as he looks like a sure winner to us. Any man in public office can be immortal like Lincoln if he will only have the courage to do the simple thing we call "right" in an unselfish way. BEST MAN. BUT? A few days ago Edmond Koeln, Collector here, is quoted as saying that Louis P. Aloe, among the aspirants for mayor, was the best fitted and qualified for the place,—but? So, herein lies the danger. The only fault Mr. Koeln could find with Mr. Aloe was that he (Aloe) was of a different race. We know Mr. Koeln will say that not himself, but the people, he fears, are obsessed with race prejudice. But we would suggest that he speak and act for No. 1. If Mr. Koeln is not controlled by race prejudice, let him step out and act the part of a man. If he is controlled by race prejudice, then he opens the flood gates of other groups to regard him as a weakling who moves and acts as a matter of expediency without regard to fitness or qualification. We regret very very much to hear of such a spirit prevailing in this city at this time. When such a spirit can get the backing and endorsement of such men as Edmond Koeln, who is a power in politics here, then, we repeat, herein lies the danger. We say, we are confronting a very serious situation here when we encourage group against group, race against race, and klan against klan. None of us had anything to do with our coming into the world. The Creator of all men created us in his own image, so we are told. So, what man is he who can make one hair of his head white or black. To oppose anyone because of race, color or religion is dangerous. It should be remembered that any act or acts by one class of citizens to rob another class of their rights as citizens should be frowned upon by all those who love justice and fair play. A MONUMENT, OR FREEDOM—WHICH? Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York, is sponsoring a bill in the lower house of the United States Congress which would authorize the Battle Monument Commission to erect, in France, a monument to commemorate the valiant service the colored troopers rendered in the Argonne. The spirit which prompted Mr. Fish to act in this matter, no doubt, was a fine one, but we are wondering whether that is the highest service he could render these men who took their lives in their hands to defend their country in time of war. Of course, those men are living, and some are dead. Those who are alive can speak for themselves in this case, but let us visualize what those who are dead would say if their spirits could speak. We imagine they would tell Mr. Fish that the highest honor this nation could possibly confer upon them would be to give their brothers the full rights of American citizenship. And while it is true that they died in defense of their country, it is also true that these colored men who thus gave their lives cherished the hope that their sacrifice meant freedom more abundant for their race in America. It was Frederick Douglass who said, on one occasion, during one of his speeches before a New England audience when nearly every sentence he uttered drew applause from his hearers, "Your applause means nothing to me as long as your people are crushing the life out of my people in the South." We, imagine it would be in some such language as this, that the dead Negro soldiers would address Mr. Fish in reference to his monument proposition. We would not rob the dead of one iota of honor. It is honorable to honor the dead, yet, men have died that others might live. There were a few hundred thousand of us who went to France, and we did our "bit," but there are twelve million of us here in this country still waiting for the thing for which those men fought, bled and died. If Mr. Fish will use his good office to protect the lives of those who honorably served in France, against the American mobs, we all could say, "Amen!" If he will use his good office to strike down race prejudice which robs me and mine of our common rights-as citizens, let all the people say, "Hurrah for Fish." We think in these statements we express the sentiments of those living as well as those dead. What does the Colored Legion say? The District of Columbia is the most harmful place in America in which to tolerate racial segregation. Frederick Douglass could not be a slave because he so decreed it in his own heart—so with us, we alone must determine our fortune or our fate. We are not surprised to see the spirit, rule or ruin, still among us. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS. FRIDAY. FEB. 13. 1925 Marian Anderson's Recital A modest, unassuming little artist with a voleer of etherial qualities and a sluccere devotion to her work this is a description that might well fit Miss Marian Anderson's contralto, who appeared in the auditorium at the Poro and auditorium last Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Gamma Omega Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Security. Miss Anderson sang with a rich sweet voice that enthralled with its clear purity of tone and natural beauty. It was a voice that possessed power and force, yet was soft and sweetly gentle. The magic of the artist's voice was no less wonderful than her mastery of technique, and the beauty of interpretation. The ease and sprightness of subtle vocal management, intonations, breath control, modulations, voice placements, and range emphasized a broad scope of training and experience. Accuracy of enunciation in French and German numbers was also a tribute to the pretty skill of the singer. The spiritual qualities of the artist quite rightfully and dutifully were manifested in a truthfulness to the song that the composer wrote and not the song that she sang. She was mamed as the modes of the song prompted her, and thus gained a touching and realistic sentiment, without forcing the imagination of her audience in the "Water Boy" song. The simple atmosphere, dreamy and matte atmosphere that it manifested. In the romantic "Heiden Roselnd" (Wild Rose) one felt the spirit of both the composer, Schubert, and the poet, Goethe, and sensed the tragedy—a tragedy of disappointed love. In the spiritfuls. Miss Anderson give the characteristic emotional fervor and religious atmosphere that makes these simple little cherishments. — J. S. Schoenker. William King, accompanied to Miss Anderson, offered moods and articulations of the songs with artistry. His playing was well in record with the splendid singing of Miss Anderson. Two beautiful bouquets were presented to Miss Anderson, and numerous encores were given as expressions of appreciation for her, delightful renditions. Miss Anderson received much of her training from Gerselep Böghetti, a well-known vocal teacher of Philadelphia. What Our Artists Are Doing Two prizes were won by Archibald Moley, Jr., a Negro artist of Chicago, at a current Chicago art exhibition. New York poet and painter of $200 for a painting called "Synsepction" and the Joseph N. Elsen death prize of $200.00 for a painting entitled "Mulatress." Bots of these pictures and another called "Mending Socks," also in the exhibition, are a Negro's interpretation of his own people. Archibald Motley, Jr., is 'the son of a Pullman buffet chef, and it is to this fact that his decision early in his career to take advantage of the pictorial possibilities of his own people may perhaps be attributed. While Henry Tanner, son of the Negro bishop, who became the Negro's most celebrated pointer, turned to religious themes, young Motley, making cross country trips with his father on a diper, to pay his way through art school, found "himself drawn to a study of the everyday life of his own people who saw them in their own environment. Since completing his course at the school of the Art institute he has made it a point to familiarize himself with every phase of Negro life in tnicago. The three pictures now hanging on the walls of the Art institute show the range and inclusiveness of his observations. "Synneopation" is a catechism of the tan kind." While the artist has made this picture a vehicle for a free expression of the rhythm of forms and colors, it none the less drives home its message of repulsion, as do Toulouse Launtree's beautiful but loathsome simp underworld scenes of Paris, wife of Multrass, a portrait of the wife of the French philosopher and physician, shows his careful study of the different Negro types, a strong contrast to "The Octoroon" which appeared in last year's exhibition. The mixture of racial strains, Caucasian, Indian and Negro, in Mr. Mothey his led him to become interested in de- pelling the types which have resulted from these mixtures. Mending Socks is a picture of his mature son, who is 80 years old and bebeses a sympathetic understanding of long standing between the ambitions young painter and the careworn Negroes. The faithful old mammy folks to the last as she sits in her rocking chair and darms the course family socks with her worn hands. Her cruelty hangs on the wall beside her and near by is the old kerosene lamp and the highly portrait of her young "mistress" riles of her early life in the south. Both "The Mistress," and "Mending Socks" are painted in somewhat that same unpleasant and fearless realistic spirit that Bellows painted his Victorian types. Refusing to appropriate the conventional ideas of beauty of the older Civilized races, he spares nothing to make his people look exaggerating rather than soft, dark, light pink shawl of the old grandmother and black red dress of the brown mulattress. It is Mr. Motley's ambition to arouse in his own people a love of art, and he feels that his goal can be reached most effectively if they see themselves as the center of some artistic expression. More attractive financial opportunities than carrying out such as ideal were offered the young, colored art student in the way he fused them, looking forward to a time such as this, when his work would make its place in the world of art. —By Marguerite Williams The letter carrier expects everybody on his route to take things at they come.

AN IN THE TENSE A student was asked by a teacher to write a thesis in the past tense on some interesting event in his life. He was confused and asked the teacher how the past tense was formed. The teacher told him it was formed by adding "ed" to a word. This is the theme received from the student: "I went to my work at Burkshired. I came later than the boss desired. And me he fired. On my way home, I saw a machine in mud all mired. A team of horses I hired, Ecky we worked—until we were tired By this time the day had expired And I went home and retired."

TRIUMPH IN $600,000 PHYLLIS WHEATLEY DRIVE CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 11—A report of the big Phyllis Wheatley Association drive which came to a close in this city last week, showed that the colored people of Cleveland pledged a total of $147,404, while contributions from outsiders brought the grand total to $643,075, which exceeded the goal set by the association. $43,000.

MORE MUNICIPAL NURSES St. Louis men and women interested in the promotion of public health in this city, have written letters to the Health committee of the Community Council, endorsing the ordinance introduced by them which will gradually increase the number of municipal nurses until the total reaches nearer the minimum standards as set up by the U. S. Public Health Bureau. At present each nurse is carrying over the duties with the Bureau says can be carried effectively. J. Loonberger Davis, chairman of the board of the Security National Bank, says: "The promotion of a public health program is a part of a municipal program, and municipal nurses are a very real part of such a program. It should be supported by taxation as much as main·inence of public streets and water works. In the past, St. Louis has done a good piece of health work, and we do not want to fall down now. The need for increased·nurses seems self evident. It is obvious that no nurse can care adequately for 373 cases each month." "Adequate training and preventive work is the best insurance possible for the next generation and is a wise step." Mrs. Philip Fouke, board member of Children's Hospital, says "St. Louis wants to care for its sick children, and its mothers and its tubercular citizens, and only lack of knowledge of the great need for n. a. children, and the need for effective carry on this health work has allowed public opinion to remain dormant. We are building for the future, and even increasing the number of nurses by sixteen will not place St. Louis among the cities caring most adequately for such cases. However, we will be a distinct advantage to have this increase and we can then go ahead gradually until we reach the maximum." Mothers, reading of the ordinance in the papers, have sent in many letters to the hospital to express gratitude for service rendered and desiring to help all they can the "nurses who made my Jimmy a husky baby, when I thought he couldn't live."

Dr. Roman Stresses Brotherhood Dr. Roman, teacher, philosopher and writer, spoke out of his ripe experience on the subject: "Causes of Racial Friction and How to Remove Them." In a well-rounded and carefully developed address, Dr. Roman pointed out that "there were no essential differences between people because of race. He urged that both white and colored people get away from the current methods of thinking with regard to each other that may be necessary. We need that we protect this or that and because he is a white man you may be sure of a certain kind of performance. Dr. Roman brought applause when he declared that white people will have to get over the notion that men who would be brothers in any forward or co-operative effort, must needs become brothers in law. This is typical of the many philosophical witticisms thrown out. Dr. Roman adhered to the idea that throughout all history we find that the man, the Dr. Terry M. WISHES TO ANNOUN OF HIS DENTAL OFF S.

Another one of Dr. Roman's interesting observations was that whenever you find a man who believes in the superiority of a calling, of a nation or a race, he is a member of that calling, nation or race. Another observation advanced by Dr. Roman was that the acts of the ignorant are the thoughts of the learned. He illustrated this in the action of the mob as being the thought of the intellectual.

Do You Want The Negro Trade? See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper PART TWO Lester Walton Making Good On New York World NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-Lester A. Walton, special writer for the New York World, has completed his third year on one of the largest newspapers in the country, and the most liberal white newspaper toward the Negro in America. Mr. Walton has become known to thousands of white and colored readers through the United States as the "known writer of current affairs in America, american life of color." He is quoted more widely than any other writer on the Negro. Mr. Walton began his work on The World in 1922 when he wrote a series of articles on conditions among Negroes throughout the country. This was followed by an assignment to cover the Garvey convention which terminated in his being regularly employed as a special feature writer for the Sunday World and a regular reporter on week days. During this period it is estimated that not only has his work increased "The World's circulation enormously all over the country, but that his writing have been毫不逊色" forces in latter life, race relations. Mr. Walton is said by competent authorities to be the best professionally trained Negro newspaper man in the country. And the environment in which he came up indicates the truthfulness of the assertion. He began journalism several years ago in the suburbs of St. Louis as a contributor to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. For a long time the City Editor didn't know whether the contributor from the country was white or colored. Finally he was sent for to come to town. Tors were shocked to learn that their star man was given him an assignment, court news. Strangely enough he worked up through different department and became an expert golf reporter. Mr. Walton says it is a joke around. The World office today that he is an expert on golf. Mr. Walton intertransferred from the Globe Democrat to the St. Louis Star, and from the Star to the Pulitzer paper, the Post-Dispatch. There he met Herbert Bayard Swope, who is today the Executive Editor of The World. Mr. Swope recognizes ton's ability and the became friends. It is Mr. Swope under from Mr. Walton worked for the past three years. On the St. Louis papers Mr. Walton learned to be a dramatic critic and in 1907 he was induced to come to New York by Ernest Hogan to write the lyrics for the musical comedy, "Rufus, Rastus." This started his theatrical career which carried him several seasons on the road as personal representative and business manager. In 1908 he joined the New York Age. Again he joined the editor, but knowledge was promoted to managing editor. At the close of the World War he made a tour of France with Dr. R. R. Moton. Others in the company were Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Nathan Hunt, and a white newspaperman from Cleveland. In 1920 he took over the management of the Lafayette Theatre and remained in the theatrical business until he joined the World in 1922. Mr. Walton edited the critics and magazines. The World speak highly of him, and especially comment him for his fairness and impartiality in reporting news and writing feature articles. In a statement for publication Mr. Walton said: "I try at all times to present the best side of my race to white readers. While I am strictly impartial in my writings, I always let the Negro appear before the whites on his merits, rather than in the role of asking favors." Mr. Walton has contributed articles to some of the leading white magazines, notably The Outlook in New York, and has been many times quoted at length by the Literary Digest. Colored Student Editor Attends Exclusive Banquet Associate Negro Press. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 11. The exclusive gridron banquet, annual stag affair sponsored by the journalist fraternity at the University of Minnesota was attended this year for the first time by a colored student in the person of Earl Wilkins, editorial writer of the Minnesota Daily. The banquet was held at the new Hotel Nicollet and was attended by Governor Christianson and L. D. Coffman, president of the University. CITIES HARD ON NORDIC Associated Negro Press. LONDON, Feb. 11—Words that may distress those who expound the theory of Nordic superflyority written this week by W. J. Perry. British authority on cultural anthropology. In the great urban centers such as London, he has found that the allied peoples are dying out and that the race is not so much to the strong as to those who are short, dark-haired and brown-eyed. The Nordic blond gets along all right in the country, he said, but the dark peoples thrive and multiply best in the city. If this thing keeps on and England continues to become more and more urban, Mr. Perry seems to think that Alpine and Mediterranean foli will predominate in Britian as they did centuries ago. A father's first duty is to make himself what he wants his baby to be. LOUIS P. ALOE - . Mr. Louis P. Moe will address the Lane Tabernacle Literary Society of Lane Tabernacle; C. M.

In 1832 when a bill for the organization of the State of Missouri was taken up by Congress an amendment prohibiting the further introduction of slavery, with provisions for emancipating the future children of slaves was offered by a member from New York. A passionate debate ensued, and the first stormy agitation of slavery questions' convulsed the whole country for two years. It resulted in the famous Missouri Compromise, agreed to in March, 1820 but not determined until February 1821, by the terms of which Missouri came into the Union. Concerns concerning slavery, but slave holding of the Louisiana Purchase, which lies, north of 36 degrees, 30 minutes north latitude. 162 Who began the crusade of The implacable crusade of the Abolitionists against slavery was opened by William Lloyd Garrison in 1831, when he founded the Liberator at Boston, and their warfare against the slave trade of the New England and the American anti-slavery societies in 1832 and 1833.

PAGES 9 TO 14 Find Babylon's Famous Museum Find Babylon's Famous Museum Associated Negro Press. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 11.—A museum established in the sixth century before Christ by the daughter of the last king of Babylon in her courtiers in the Temple of the Moon God at Ur of the Chaldees, the buried city of Abraham in Babylon, has been discovered by archaeologists of the joint expedition of the University Museum of this city and the British Museum. The foregoing details are called from the official report of C. Leonard Woodley, head of the expedition, which was given to the press this morning by Dr. George B. Gordon, of the University Museum. This report in part reads: "In the much ruined area under the shadow of the great Ziggurat tower, where in November we found the terrace wall built by King Uren-gur about 2200 B. C., we have now been able to trace nearly all the vklassitudes of what was really the religious center of the city. In the triangle of the walls that spread over and beyond the original limits of the terrace can be read the story of wars and destruction, and of rebuilding by later kings, through the stretch of two thousand years. Sometimes the bricks themselves bear the stamps of the royal builders, sometimes the age of a wall can be deduced by its position under or above other walls whose date is known. "Once a dramatic discovery gave us invaluable proof. Digging down into the ruins of a massive mud-brick fort which projected from the line of the terrace and was obviously a latter addition to it, we found a flight of brick steps run down thru the tower and joined the terrace to the low ground at its foot; and searching in the walls on either side we found less than 11 large hall-shaped cones of burnt clay embedded in wood with their round heads parallel with the wafle face just as they had been set there 4000 years ago. The inscriptions indicated the fort was built by Ward-Sin, King of Larsa, of Sumer and Akkad. "I in one respect, only we were unsuccessful, we had hoped to find the remains of buildings earlier than the time of Ur-Engur, but these were buried under the huge mass of the Ziggurat, where they never can be touched; but one of our deep trenches did produce at least a relic of that older age, a little square of shell beautifully engraved with two royal persons, personally mounted in our tumblr-mantles holding along in their hands. The figures are only an inch high and it is quite a gem of a miniature and rare illustration of the art of the fourth millennium, B. C. "Our other site has been the Hall of Justice, called E-dub-lakmakh, and here, removing little by little the mud brick walls and the high-lay pavements of the later periods, we have worked out the history of the building from Nahonidus, king of Babylon in the sixth century, B. C, back through the repairs done by Sin-balatun-ikhil, 100 years before, by Kurt-Galzun the Kassite in the sixteenth century, by Ishme-gagan, king of Islah, 600 years before that to its mark, by Bur-Sin of about 2250 B. C. and the walls of Bur-Sin we have come upon the brick word of a more primitive sort, bearing no name, but marked with two finger prints deeply impressed to hold the mortar, a record of the shadowy kings of the second dynasty of Ur who may have reigned some 2800 years before Christ. "From an inscription preserved in the museum at Yale, we know that the last king of Babylon, Nabonidus, following ancient precedents, consecrated his daughter, Bel-Shakl- Nan-nar, as high priestess of the moon god at Ur and built an 'Egig-par' or cloister for her dwelling and, incidentally, he lays down the most admirable moral precepts for her guidance. "Now, in front of E-doublal-mahk, in this its latest phase, we find a wide courtyard surrounded by a double wall inclosing a long range of chambers, the bricks of whose pavements bear not only the name of Nabonidus but also a description of the building as 'the house of the priestess.' The ground plan of the place answers perfectly to the word 'cloister' used in the Yale inscription and there can be no doubt we have the actual convent of the priestess." GETS BACK TO JAIL Associated Negro Press CAMBEN, N. J., Feb. 11—After spending 50 days in the Camden县 city jail in lieu of paying a fine of $23 imposed by Judge Shay for carrying concealed weapons. Blairo Solka, of Camden, charged with his cell Thursday morning. His wife had arranged to pay his fine by installments in order that Solka might go to work to support the family. But Selka didn't want to leave, declaring he liked it so much he would rather stay. The wife insisted that he get out and get busy and finally he was persuaded to leave, but he arranged with Sherif Jack for a pass so that he might visit some "fine friends" he made while he was back of the bars.

Jesus Christ Suffering (v. 22, 34). 1. The Place (v. 22). The garden of Gethsemane—an enclosure containing olive and fig trees, beyond Kidron, about three-fourths of a mile from Jerusalem. "The name" means olive press. The name is significant of the occasion. Ederesheim says, "It is an abundance of trial, distress, and agony." Perhaps the garden was owned by some one of Jesus' friends. It afforded Him a suitable place to rebel with his disciples in this trying hour. 2. His Compassion (v. 25). He took with Him the eleven disciples that they might share so far as possible, this sorrow with Him. Being a real human being he eaved human sympathy. He made them watch with Him. White He knew that He must "broad the wide air press" above. He had a large apprehension of sympathy so far as those who bore Him could understand. It was primarily the prospect of physical suffering that was ensuing Him. It was the suffering as a sinner, the secessions of His pure soul coming into contact with the awful sin and split of the world. In addition to this there was the hurt and stroke from the holy God as it fell upon His Son instead of the sinner. God caused the impurities of the world to strike upon Jesus (H Cyr. 1211 p. 552). 11. Jesus Christ Praying (v. 35, 39) Thomas He was pressed on the floor of square room. The only bishop was praying — the congregation of our friends is helpful, but in the great crises of life we can only help us so we can to God in prayer. 1. The Holy Prayer (v. 35, 39) (1) His presence (v. 35) He is on his face preserve on the ground in the floor of our great room we materialize ourselves before God — a becoming presence. (2) His presence (v. 35) "take away this cup from Me." By the cup is Jesus His flesh on our lips. No doubt it was most striking to Him to take its shame, but He pressed on knowing that for this only He had come into the world (John 12:27, 28 of Hob. 2:149). He prayed that the "shame ought pass from Him" the jubilation was so great that it sanhed. His wife would crucified out His priest was healed (10). When God knew our prayers, he grants the helicity provided (11. John 15. 11). Angels ministered to Him giving the necessary grace to compose to the evil Luke 12. 23). (3) His repentance (30). His will was in submission to the Father. He knew that His death on the cross was the will of God the Luther for. He was the Lumb-claim from the foundation of the world. (31). The disciples rebelled. (32). He singed off Peter, she showed he had been the most compassionate in penalty, his honility (John 14. 58).

There is such a thing as the busiest when wanted and avowing when it is not yet.

It was Race Relations Sunday and Mr. Craft after a brief cutline of the origin and meaning of the day and the ultimate hope of its founders, gave a very firm discussion on "What are some of the things necessary for a peaceful relationship between the Races?" As long as white people think they must control cedified people there can be pollution on them. We have to keep it long as we held in a certain stratum of community life. Second, it is not fair to assume that the white man possesses certain innate abilities which justify the position he takes. We should rid our minds of a certain scene of innate inferiority, which is all too common. We should nurture ourselves with a knowledge of our history and become better acquainted with ourselves and what we are called. "This then that we can better state our lives."
