Fear is also said to cause many of the difficult problems we are compelled to face. As a solution, the speaker advocated the practicable application of the principle of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and the following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Adv SOCIETY STUNNED WHEN WELL KNOWS COUPLE ARE DIVERGED Mrs. Daisy Colbert, wife of Everett II, Colbert, instructor of commercial law at Summer High School, and prominent in social and fraternal circles, was granted a degree of divorce in Circuit Judge Pearce's Court Division No. 16, last Monday morning. So quietly had the matter been arranged that very few people knew of the case, and when Mrs. Colbert, accompanied by her attorney, John A. Davis, of 1401 Market street, stepped into the Court Room to have the case called, the Court room was practically deserted. Mr. and Mrs. Colbert were married August 19, 1924, at Fort Smith, Arkansas, and were separated January 29, 1925. Friends and associates believed that they were an ideal couple and were stunned to learn of their separation, and divorce. Mrs. Colbert, before her marriage, was a teacher in the public schools of East St. Louis, Illinois. She least present employed by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. Mrs. Colbert changed her husband with great indignities. She was also granted the restoration of her maiden name, Daisy 'Prices'.

He spoke of his struggles in building the order in Texas, and stated that at this time there are twenty-eight thousand men and women children in the order in Texas, making it the largest jurisdiction in the world.

LOUIS BRANCH, NATL. ALLIANCE ENTERTAINS 11 By Jas. R. Lansing By S. L. Carrington Salve! salve! salve dies gravis-sime! A gala night—The one big social event of the season and we don't mean "maybe"— Wednesday night, January 14, 1925 will long be remembered by everybody in St. Louis; for on the above mentioned date, the Comrades of the St. Louis Branch of the Ninth District entertained their friends at Pythian Temple from eight until one—no, no—we beg pardon, till two. For everybody was having such a jolly time, we just had to hold the music for an extra hour. And such music—from the heavenly divine waltz to the dazzling prancing, ridiculous jazz. It was all of that and then some. And such a crowd—real cosmopolitan. There were high browls, low browls and no browls or oh boy! How they, mixed; cogentality and good temper but sweet. Every individual view with the other trying to show how happy they really were. In Haley with that benign Past Master Chan. Thompson was at the door, looking, them over, to see that none passed hor re-passed except those duly qualified. The reception committee, with our smiling president, Roy Willoit at its head, was there to welcome our guests and escort them to the cloak room where old "annie" held sway all the evening (2). And the ladies, God bless 'em -we can't do anything with 'em, and we can't do anything without 'em. When the ladies emerged from their furs and entered the grandly ball, bilder the glare of the light, and the blare of the queen's orchestra, with rare sparkling and many colored feeds flashing they melted into the arms of their escorts catching step to the rhythm of the music. Oh!! Such a pretty scene no pen can describe the ecstasy that illumined each face. It appeared as the thou face. It appeared as though thrill after thrill of delight and pleasure permeated their entire being from the crown of their heads in the soles of their feet, as they oscillated over the dance hall floor, reveling in the Terpsichorean art. And now the dinner. While the orchestra covered itself with glory, members and guests marched to the spacious Dining, Hall all decorated with red, white and blue, the colors of the Alliance, with a blending of green and sprays of fern. Exclamations of rapture escaped, from the lips of all at such a pretty and elaborate setting. When all we were comfortably seated Chairman John H. Cochran, with his committee, passed out the favors- balloons. Jouis noist, makers, flappers and clappers, with pretty colored caps for the ladies, tassel caps for the men and Unis. Stiva stiva, for fun or funnes. Then immediate bedlam break loose—such supricious pleasure—with the tootling of horns and popping of balloons —and the cackle, prattle of the locust—the hilarious laughter of the ladies—why everybody was happy. Then came the rats—Chicken a la King, June green peas, Julienne potatoes, hot rolls, Sherbet, Ice cream and coffee, punch, salted peanuts, after dinner mints, cigars and cigarettes. Say! but it was grand. Everybody cooked and everybody happy. Then music and dancing 'till the wee sma' hours. We can not close this brilliant scene without a word of praise and comment for our indefatigable and efficient committee headed by Comrade John H. Cochran with Comrades Jefferson and Patton, his able assistants. Comrades they put it over. "Nuff Sed." Don't forget the St. Cecelia Guff dance, Monday night, at Paradise Hall. It will be very enjoyable. - Adv. A. M. E. MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE. The meeting of the alliance Monday morning, Feb. 16, was a lively and very instructive one. Reports were made by the members and progress in every department of the churches seems to be the keynote of each report. The president, Rev. M. S. Smith, read a paper, "Is hell a state or a place?" It was discussed pre and con by the members. The final conclusion was that it was a state. Thanks were extended him for his masterly effort. Next Monday, Feb. 23, Dr. Carl F. Flipper, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, will address the Alliance. The members are looking forward to the meeting and we trust that one will be on time. Dr. Searcy, a member of the Illinois conference, has been and is a most valuable member of this Alliance. We take this opportunity to extend a hearty invitation to the other ministers of the Illinois conference to come over and John us. Bear in mind, in union there is strength. The Rev. Dr. Carl F. Flipper read a resolution asking for the Alliance's endorsement of Mr. Anton E. Malone for the position of Register of the Treasury of the United States. The Alliance avowed a continuous commitment and a civic commitment was requested to let the same be known to other ministerial alliances throughout this country. Mr. Malone is a true son of Allen. He is an active churchman, treasurer of the Illinois Conference and a delegate to the last General Conference. Mr. H. K. Craft, executive secretary of the Pine St. Y. M. C. A. was introduced to the Alliance and spoke of the great work that the 'Y' was doing for our young men and boys of this city. He asked for the cooperation of the ministers of the Alliance and to the world, we feel it is our bounded duty to extend a helping hand to this great cause. The A. M. E.

Recently there has been brought to public notice report of the National Probation Association, tending to show that Juvenile crime has decreased.

Runaway marriages among very young children have increased at an alarming rate, and the children could not have their way or something in their little provocation, so the newspaper dispatches relate youth, longing for thrills, will shoot. The moving picture, with its long array of marvels of the screen, has come in for a large part of the deliquency of the present younger generation. It is said that many of the youngsters hailed into court state that they "grew it in the movies." Be this as it may, a few months ago a former New York commissioner of police estimated that fully eighty percent of the youth committed by "drug-store cowboys" youths in short trousers who were created by the drug habit. We return to the negative and positive signs. Diminishing the factor of minor lawlessness by a third, and assuming that the adult factor of one-fifth does not increase, it is apparent—algorithmically at least—that we are approaching an era of slack press. The National Probation Association which is in position to know says that there have been 3,000 fewer cases of delinquent and neglected children in Chicago in the last twelve months than ten years ago, despite the growth in population. Chicago often reports a decrease of more than thirty per cent while Massachusetts reports a decrease of thirty per cent in five years.

Earnest men and women united in many organisations have reached down into the depths and lifted-beds and girls out of unfavorable, sur- roundings, willing hands. They have wrought brighters and happier en- vironment for the young. Perhaps we may not read the signs of the times alright; may be, after all, there has been no reason for the voles that have cried in the wilderness that the youth of the land was almost beyond redemption; perhaps those prophets who have climbed to the honeysets and made grievous inmentation over appalling persecutions over rising persecutions have been the victims of a strange delusion, yet it is firmly believed that the mathematical conclusion is hardly sustained by individual experience and observation. Something desirite must be done for the youth of the race, something must be done to show the youth of our race that the things of the spirit play an important part in the life of the nation. In other words "along with all the training in arithmetic, language, and morality, we have merely essential a training, in "how to live an honest life." Call it religion or, what not, there must be fewer petting parties, and more teaching about morality. We cannot play with fire without being burned.

If he must call in Nashville po- lice and riot guns to keep school, he should respectfully abdicate. According to the press, he had five of his colored students lodged over night in fall in Nashville, where they lynch children. We do not believe that McKenzie is party to the lie that any of these students made any effort to injure any "white" teachers. But McKenzie must have known that if he called in the Nashville police department, lies just like that would be sure to follow. These students were expressing their disapproval of F. A. McKenzie as President of Fisk University. They may have violated school rules in doing that. If so, then the president and the faculty could expel these students. As we write, no reason has been shown for patting these five students in jail, to be abused and bullied by southern officers, or for having Nashville police 'parading about the campus of Fisk University. If those students had even possessed any guns, to say nothing of displaying or using them, you can be sure these policemen would have found the guns. "Suspended *sebences*!" That means that these students were "A woman who can't hold her husband doesn't deserve to have one," the girl said. She went about breaking hearts, until her own was broken.

We do n't say that these students should be held in Fisk University if they do not obey the president, and if the trustees insist upon keep- ing that particular president; but we do say that the matter can be man- managed without the city police. If the students had been suspended and then persisted in exercising liberties around Fisk the state then should have been called in. But so long as they held the status of the students and were responsible for violating weapons or property, they had the right to "protest" and "dem- onstrate" and violate the order of the school and get expelled for it. This "riot" is just rot. A disorderly student demonstration against the faculty of a school is no riot, unless the faculty is white and the students are black. The white students of no college in the land would stand for McKenzie and his methods for a week. Even the public school students in New York can protest and strike and demonstrate without having riot guns trained on them. We have not said anything about this Fisk muddle before.

How much good can he ever do for students that he must control by riot guns? What students in the whole school will ever have any love for him or even respect him again? Under such a regime Fisk University is no place to make men; it is a place to inspire cowards. Only those pittable features who can be respected or bullied will stay in such an institution. What more can these brown pupils learn there this year? They have learned enough. They ought to be taken home and sent to some other school. And Nashville police who were nowhere to be found when a cowardly mob was taking a Negro lad of fifteen years from a hospital to lynch him—the gallant defenders of society, and the most dangerous student on their own campus, best—to make speeches and say that the white president of their college should resign.

(4-4-1) American Legion Notes By EMMETT BROWN During 1922 and 1923, veterans suffering from service connected disabilities, were dying at a rate averaging 4500 a year, according to figures of the Veterans Bureau. These are figures that may well give pause to those who are inclined to dismiss all reference to the war, although it is true that the war is over, and is a matter of history now. The casualty list, once scanned with trembling fear each morning in millions of homes, during 1917 and 1918, did not terminate with the terms of the armistice, and is still steadily growing. It grows at the rate of about 15 men, a day—not 15 killed in action, but 15 killed of action plus years' worth. This record points clearly to the way of duty, and the task of relief grows, the list of widows and orphans also increases. If our people but realized that 15 names are being added to the Cassity List each day as a direct result of wounds and suffering of war; there would be no question as to the much needed support that every American Lee would be properly equipped for function properly. A Right of Citizenship A number of ex-service men have been denied the State Bonus, on account of not being able to prove their citizenship in certain states. One of the best proofs of citizenship is the right, and the execution of that right to vote. Thursday, February 26, 1925 will be Registration day, and all men who have not registered or who have moved since the last election should report for registration at the listed polling places, which will be advertised in the daily press. Not being a registered voter has been the cause of many ex-service men being unable to prove their citizenship—thereby being denied the State Bonus. GET BONUS BLANKS Through the kindness of Honorable L. C. Dyer, the St. Louis Argus, will distribute blanks to all former service men of the World War, who desire to make claims for bonus under the recent act of Congress. These blanks force and can be and just for the asking. Notary service can also be had. Why Are The Facts Ignored? For the Associated Negro Press. We saw a recent *Pathe Review* presented in one of New York's nine theaters that cater entirely to col- ored audiences. It so happens that we have traveled back and forth over this land of ours to the extent of about a million miles and have a pretty accurate knowledge of each of our cities. We set with the wife and children of our friends about the fidelity with which the Pathe company had pictured Nash- ville, one of the most beautiful and interesting southern cities. And then, we were dumped into the depths of humiliation to observe pictured as the concluding part of the review, a pair of Little Negro children with a cart filled with wavermelons, and two itinerant musicians as representative of the Negro element of Nashville's population. Oh, Lord, how long will this misrepresentation continue? Seeingly that was all that one third of the city's population had contributed to. One flying over the town to picture Vanderbilt University must have deliberately ignored Fisk University, the oldest institution of its kind in America, and Meharry Medical College whose graduates may be found in every city in America, and not a few whose bodies are interred in France. The stately old capitol is but a block from the Negro business district with its banks, hotels and minor activities, and even white Nashville students, and the faculty of the Baptist Publishing company and the A. M. E church publishing house. Thirty six thousand useful citizens and their activities that contribute to every phase of community life maliciously ignored that the light minded may have something to laugh over, is a too big a price to pay and is not worth no more. No one likes to laugh more than the American, Negro. No one needs the anticipate of a laughter more than we do; but we need a square deal even more. There are nearly six hundred theaters supported entirely by the race group. They are consequential facets of the office total of over half the film industry, but the film producing company profits from the expenditures of these folks. On that basis alone, which is in the money language that film people can understand, if simple justice does not enter, one should expect that in what is presented as an educational and instructive reel would tell the truth. Knowing Nashville, we have little doubt that the characters, presented were posed, for in half a dozen visits to the city, we saw no such characters as we witnessed in the Pathe Review.

GILPIN Mr. Charles Gilpin has shambled in and out from among us Chicagoans again. We reflect as we gaze over the grotesque panorama of his struggle in the shadowed past, of his fame, mercurial, fleeting, of yesterday, and of his decline, on the sharp curves which make the careers of many men. We ask ourselves why so many of us are mere boomerangs propelled by our ambitions and directed by our desires. Gilpin hurled forth by Ambition, skirting the throne of Fame and returned to Ambition as that of the variety actor. We have wanted to know of Gilpin as a great actor. Denied the opportunity of seeing him in "The Emperor Jones" we have gone to his performances during his latest visits in Chicago. The first time we accompanied a group of "select" Negroes, Gilpin was drunk and disgusting. He was insulting. Last week we went to Chicago to see Gilpin. We went alone and hoped for those pleasurable chills in the back which the better singing and acting give us. We'll admit we got a few. But my friends ask: "What has Gilpin come to?" It was just yesterday that Chicago paid him homage. Now he comes to us as a part of a very bad bill at a very badly managed theatre, the Grand. We, too, wonder what Gilpin has come to, and why: "White Mule" is the story of a drunkard. As nearly as we could discern, it is the sort of thing which white men or Jews write to propagate among and please Negroes. It is punk. It may be good for Gilpin because the more he might drink before coming on the stage, the more shlpe he could be fit to do what its required of him. He is paid to act as, though he is drunk. But it does not call upon any of his supposed powers. The lines are exaggerated plays upon what is supposed to be in the minds of colored people. And now we come to the point: Gilpin is a great actor whose talent white writers employ. Besides being a great actor, he is reputed to be a great drinker, which if it is so, renders him unit for those ventures which his ability requires. One would say that he has a talent for both talent and we feel the wrong one. He is further from Broadway now than he was in the days when he started. NEGRO CHARACTERS IN RECENT BOOKS NEGRO CHARACTERS IN RECENT BOOKS By Daniel W. Clase Associated, Norma, Press D. Appleton & Company have published a novel by Robert McBlair, which bears the title "Mister Fish Kelly." The author tries in show how much humor there is in Negro life, and claims that the Negro is not his best in the South. The novel is the leading character. Fish Kelly is not at all a masterful man; he lacks initiative, and becomes easy prey to any one exhibiting stronger tendencies than his. He falls a victim to a member of his own race, a little higher up. In fact it is the usual thing that run for so many years in all of our lives, that little babies who had money, and a polished dandy, kind o'skill like, who manages the money affairs. Little, the name of the other man who poses as a lawyer and a preacher, simply uses poor Kelly, but Kelly finally finds him out. Kelly marries and is still an easy vietnam; but the spirit in him and the mind of him is strong, noting that in "humble" slaves can strike a telling blow for his freedom. "Negrolana" is the name of a book published by the Christopher Publishing House ($2.50). It is unique; the name of the author cannot be asserted talien'te; hence a wider circulation if the name of the author remains unknown. The writer is doubtless referred to in the foreword as "Dr. Frank" Current Events AUTHORIZED CAPITAL $500,000.00 UNDER STATE SUPERVISION HOME BUILDING & LOAN ASS'N of ST.

Of what possible benefit can those meetings be to me, Auntie? Why, I am surprised that you would ask such a question, Mabel. Any one who is interested in race advancement will be benefited.

I have seen such articles do more harm to the young anyway, than good. I agree with you, Mabel, but the good that is done by the Negro Press as a whole exceeds the bad that may be done by the few. Suppose you enlighten me a little, Auntie, I am not too young to learn. Do you know, Mabel, that the Negro-Press is our spokesman to the world?

There is nothing more important than the chase for library use, and there is nothing that will give it a lasting place in literature. The author expresses his views as to mob violence, is of the opinion that the establishment of an African Republic would be the correct thing, and has the characters committing crimes, the like of, which no person, whatever may be the color of his skin, would come out. GARVEY'S LAST STAND GARVEY'S LAST STAND By. William Pickens For the Associated Negro Press. For the Associated Negro Press. 'Off again! On again! Gone again! Garvey! Garvey has lost his appeal and faces a possible five years in Federal Prison, or whatever number of months they may keep him before they can be convicted. He cannot complain of any undue haste in American courts, so far as he is conquered. They allowed him five whole weeks in 1922 to try and convict himself. Then they gave him several months, in the city jail, in which to prepare his appeal. Finally, they let him out on bail, altho' he had threatened nearly everybody who had disagreed with him, including the prosecutor—and even the impartial, very patient judge. And then they kept postponing and postponing and postponing his case in appeal, until they allowed 'him to prepare his case in a great printed volume of three thousand pages—So that many people, including Garvey, had begun to think that nothing could be done to him. But just as he found on the occasion of his trial in Judge Mack's court that volumes of spoken words could not stay his conviction, so now he finds that in Judge Hough's court volumes of printed words cannot reverse that conviction. Words, words, words, words! They go big in Carnegie Hall and in Liberty Hall, where they are unopposed by facts, that oh, what, impotent things words are, when they are just air or ink. We can be sorry that Gervar made it necessary for his career to end in jail, but we are not sorry to see him go to jail, since he did make it necessary. If jails cannot open for somebody when the ignorant and poor are ruthlessly robbed, then the jails ought to be torn down. The governor of Indiana was sent to the penitentiary the other week—for stealing. The governor of Kansas is indicted on a charge of killing, "washington politicians and New Yorkers," and "sent up" every week for stealing embezzling, misappropriating, de-frauding, grafting, all those "nice" words only mean stealing. Well pera, but it is also true, that we find a goodly number of them too ready and willing to broadcast to the world the bad we do while we find only a few willing to tell the good. Take for example the recent affair at Flak University, Nashville. Had it not been for the Negro Press, there are some who would always believe that there was our own papers, long as we have the unanswerable not-successfully misrepresent us. No one can sympathize with a man who has toothache, unless he has had it himself. Just so it is with the Press. The representatives of the Negro papers are members of our group. They have suffered unjust persecutions, just as we have. They have felt the sting of oppression also. All that has come to us as a group, has come to them. It is simply a matter of having your case in the hands of a lawyer who has been tried and convicted you have. So you see, Mabel, that the Negro Press is the best lawyer we have to present our side of the case, and to plead for us before the Court of the world, and for that reason, we should read and support to the fullest, our press. Auntie, I am convinced that you are right. You have lived longer and more experience and you are in position to give advice. Good-bye, Auntie. then, if all rogues are to be sent to the penitentiary, with the sole exception of those who signal from black people, that would be a discrimination against black people, indeed! And Garvey's career, is no particular-reflection on the race to which he belongs, why some big white politicians and cabinet members in Washington stole more in a season than Garvey could have stolen in all the rest of his life. We believe that Garvey started out about six years ago with honesty about his profession, reasonableness of of ideas. The one thing dominant is egotism and that of any man is that man's greatest enemy. The one thing which no egotist can ever stand is prosperity. Egotism is a disease which grows rapidly worse in a condition of prosperity. We are profoundly sorry--and we fully approve the verdict. LABOR NOTES By Elisha Green For the Associated Nero Press. Labor conditions throughout the north are still in a state of expectancy. There are large numbers of unemployed men, but it is expected that these will be taken up within the next sixty days. There is some demand for moulders in various steel mills, but these men must be experienced: The building trades will begin opening soon. The Illinois Central announces new shops to be built at Paducah, Ketucky, and this will afford for many Negroes who might care for that part of the country. The Illinois Central is about the only railroad that is doing any extensive work this year. The planning department is picking up a line, but not a great desk. The export market is not showing much gain. Most steel mills are beginning to take on men, but these are being taken on slowly and at the present time there is plenty of help already in the north to draw from. Brick yards are expecting to have a fairly good season as soon as the weather breaks, and building starts. There will be a demand for brick-layers and mortar men in different parts of the country. For a skilled man is always strong, although the northern Negro has labor unions with which to contend. It is to be hoped that the new president will try to work out a liberal policy toward the Negro skilled worker. ASPER, Ala. Jan. 21—While Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

The "Bronze Panther" will have to take his chances along with the rest of the field, Brower intimated. In doing so he ignored the fact that Willis has had a challenge of two years' standing, filed with the commission, and in consequence should be at the head of the line that forus to be the champion. He preceded by taking this stand in the case of challengers for other championship titles. "I have informed Paddy Mullens that Wills dewl will receive the same consideration that we tender to other challengers." Brower said. "I cannot, however, commit myself in advance about giving Wills a preference over other men. He will have to take his chances with the rest." The chairman would make no statement on the announced plan to bring Dempsey and Gibbons together early next summer and with Wills among the innocent bystanders. He indicated he could not meet the situation by passing judgment on the plan before it was officially presented for the commission's consideration, and he pleased to see in Mullens' visit to the commission the first step in a determined campaign to get Dempsey and Wills in one and the same ring before the end of the outdoor season. Whether those behind the project will be insistent that Dempsey grant Wills preference over Gibbons and others remain to be seen. It is the popular idea that such an attitude would get them nothing at all or even less. It can be written down in very dark ink that Dempsey will meet Gibbons first, if he fights anyone, and Wilts when it suits the convenience of those who pull the strings. **Wills in Willing** Hot Springs, Ark. Feb. 18—Harry Wills, heavyweight, is willing to meet either Jack Dempsey or Tom Gibbons or to participate in proposed elimination bouts for the world championship, he has announced. Delaney Outpointed Estridge Wins Bout When Opponent Quits NEW YORK, Feb. 18—Jack DeLaney, the comedian of Tiger Flowers, who is scheduled to meet the latter, fistic gentleman in a return match, suffered an embarrassment late Friday night, when he was outpointed by a 20-year Buffalo midweight, Jimmy Slattery, in a six round bout. The young Buffaloian's speed and clever boxing skill, in the face of furious onslaughts, enabled him-to outdo the powerful Delaney. While his possible future opponent was defeated, Larry Estridge, New York, colored middleweight, pinned his white opponent, Warnie Smith from Oklahoma, so badly that the latter quit at the end of the fifth round of a scheduled 12-round preliminary bout. Smith is said to have received a fracture of the jaw in three places in the second round. When Estridge caught him flush on the chin with a terrific upper cut. Larry Estridge is one of the leading middleweights in the ring at the pleasant time. Preston News Service PROVIDENCE, R. I., Feb. 18—Tiger er. Flowers of Atlanta, (Ga.), knocked out Rilp Savage of Kentucky in the second round of a scheduled ten- round bout here last Thursday. Flowers shooted Savage twice before the finishing blow came. Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, PA., Feb. 18- At a special meeting of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission, of which a member of the race is on the board, held in this city Saturday, Theodore "Tiger" Flowers was barred from boxing in this state by the New York boxing Jamaica Kid, whom the Tiger knocked out on Thursday night. In Dayton, Ohiо. Flowers and his manager had been notified that if he competed with a boxer under suspension in this state that he would merit the same punishment. According to the Commission, Flowers and his manager ignored this warning. Dan Hickey, manager of Paul Berlencah, stated Saturday in this city, where the former is preparing for a bout on Monday night, that Berlencah need more experience to meet Tiger Flowers whom the latter was to fight in New York this month. Hence the calling off of the match with the Tiger. In one of the most exciting games of the season held at the Musical Fundal Hall, in this city, the Panthers of this city, defeated the Leoond five, the colored international champions, 36 to 22. The accurate shooting of Captain Campbell, was the feature of the tray; he netting five double-deckers for his team. He had last four and three respectively. Associated Negro Press LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 18.— Dick O'Connell, a local light promoter, has offered Tom Gibbons, the white heavyweight champion to the heavyweight champion of the world if Dempsey retires, a guarantee to light George Godfrey, the giant-race fighter, in this city in the near future. But Gibbons, refuses, saying that "Godfrey is too high." WILLS PUTS IN CLAIM FOR DEMPSEY'S TITLE Preston News Service NEW YORK, FEB. 18—Harry Willis, colored heavyweight champion of the world, announced Saturday night, through his manager, Paddy Mullins, that unless Jack Dempsey signs to meet him before retirement from the sport, he will be unable to claim the title of the world's championship and will be ready to defend the title against all comers. To back up this contention, Paddy Mullins went before the New York State Boxing Commission Tuesday, starting that Dempsey should meet Wills. Following the quietus that had been pushed on the morning of Dempsey would retire to marry Tex Richie, set the wires out for a Dempsey-gibbons fight; the winner of this bout meet Harry Willis. Paul Berlenbach Refuses To Meet Tiger Flowers NEW YORK, Feb. 18 - The Berlensbach-Tiger Flowers match, scheduled for Madison Square Garden, February 26, has been postponed, due to the withdrawal of Berlensbach, Tex Rickard said last week. He did not assign any reason for Berlensbach's withdrawal other than to say the New Yorker would not be able to fight until March. COMMISSION REFUSES TO SANCTION MIXING LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 18.—Preston News Service Boxing in this state received a great setback following the announcement by the chairman of the boxing commission that mixed bouts would not be allowed. Last Wednesday night, a group of managers and producers entered a protest to have the ruling of the commission reversed. For some time it had been rumored that boxing steps would be taken, but not until this final act did those in on the inside give burgee to Ideo-Los Angeles has been one of the leading boxing centers of the country and this action is taken to indicate that the east is now using up all the colored fighters and mixed bouts will continue to be in the lead. Flowers Loses Bogash Bout In Third On Foul BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 18- Tiger Flowers lest his first battle since his misfortune on Delaney bout, here tonight on a foul. The foul occurred to the third round of a scheduled 10-round battle between Flowers and Lou Bogash of Bridgeport, Conn. The fighters were engaged in a furious mixup as the third round began, when Bogash suddenly went down. No one could be sure of the blow that sent the fighter to the floor, but Referee Jerry Moore accused Flowers of having hit his opponent below the belt, and awarded the decision to the white boxer.

"MUST PRODUCE OR DIE" SAYS MOHAMMED CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE that the colored laborer was by no means a welcome guest even when paying the dues and assessments of the labor organization to which he belonged. In England, where employers were inclined to favor colored unskilled labor because the colored worker was more industrious and reliable than his white confrere, jealousy and irre of the white laborer was aroused, resulting in riot and bloodshed in such important cities as London, Liverpool, Swansea, and Glasgow. And it would not be. Chalcit to prove that the intux of colored labor from the south was indirectly responsible for the Chicago and East St. Louis riots. Must Fight Own Battle The colored American labor con. dition is bound up with the economic condition of the entire group. From the emancipation to the present time the white man has been carrying the colored brother. He has supplied money for schools and churches and has furnished employment to members of the race, and now a period of sixty years has passed and a new generation has arrived. When he has turned his attention to his own people with the result that his services, for the most part, are not required except in the most humble vocations. Mean while, the colored man possessing a sense of comparative responsibility and thrift has accumulated millions which he dormant as far as he is concerned in the banks of the dominant group in almost every city of the union. This money is mainly on deposit at 3 per cent and is earning nothing for the group it is being loaned by white banking institutions to its own group at high rates of interest on short loans for cotton, watermelon, orange and other crops which are mainly cultivated on the hands and by the hands of colored people, who for the most part, are exploited by the white group with the accumulated millions of the aforementioned thrifty but visionless colored depositors. Now, it is quite evident that the economic condition of the colored worker is daily growing more difficult and it is the duty of the more fortunate to release some of its wealth, not only in the interest of the less fortunate but also, in the highest interest of the group at large. This is a new day. Colored capital must get the get,together, cure for the "I don't trust Negro business" infection. "As a man thinks, so is he. Those who have no trust are not to be trusted. There is hardly any skilled occupation in factory, or work shop where colored men and women have not been engaged, and it has been demonstrated that the brain of the Atro-American is as least as good as that of any other ethnic group. Strive For Independence The complaint is frequently made that there is a lack of opportunity. Men make opportunities, not opportunities men. Success has already been made in the profession because the student dared. Is there no dare to take the opportunity of doing prune? The dare will have to come sooner or later and it is better it were sooner than too late. Has the opulent colored three per cent easy money (£)? group ever atopped to consider what would happen should the white group sudden. ly decide that no further colored labor would be employed in its general industries? is it aware that those dwelling in the cities of the east, west and north would be reduced to a condition of faming in a month, and that riot, bloodshed and death would follow its trail from which the self complacent three per centers would not be exempted. Wealth possesses responsibilities as well as advantages. In fact, wealth's chief advantage is the appreciation of its responsibility. A self-respecting race can not be built upon a group of parasites. It must produce. The race which hopes to survive, raising its head independently and fearlessly among the other groups by which it is surrounded, must either: produce or die. F. B. RANSOM ADDRESSES K. C. GRADUATION CLASS KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 16.—Early in November, the Madam C. J. Walker Company opened on one of the most prestigious business corners of this city a branch college of Culture with all modern equipment and highly competent instructors. Announcements of the opening brought students from several different States. After completing an extensive course in the various arts of beauty culture, 12 weeks of daily practice and passing a severe final examination, graduating exercises for the first class were held here last week. A capacity crowd filled every available seat at Ebenezer Church where the twenty-five graduates received diplomas. It was a gratifying picture to see this large group of women seated there, dressed in white, their hair and complexion beaming with evidences of care unto themselves and giving into others, are deeply listening to the Commencement address by Atty, F. B. Ranson, General Manager of the Madden G. J. Walker Mfg. company, who urged them to catch the vision of a larger and more useful life, and commended them, for this, their step toward independent livelihoods. ~Invocation and remarks were offered by the pastor. Theses on beauty culture were read by the graduates, encouragements were of great interest, and musical numbers, appropriately sandwiched in some of Kansas City's best talent, completed the Commencement exercises of this College's first class of "25.

The Argus welcomes the members of the Fourth Estate as patients of this city, driving the week We have spared no pains to make this, your stay in our city, a continuous round of business and pleasure. The citizens generally have joined in with us to make this condition possible. Whatever we have, we will share with you and we will do all in our power to see to it that nothing befalls you to mar one minute of your pleasure while here. So well pleased have the citizens been with your presence, that we here and now invite you to hold your next annual session in St. Louis, the city surrounded by the United States, not east, hardly west, neither north nor south, just convenient to everywhere. WHO WILL BE ENDORSED? It has been announced that the Citizens Council, at its meeting next Monday night, plans to endorse some candidate for mayor whom its members may feel safe in supporting at the coming primary election. We are pleased to learn of their intention to take this step at this time, because it will relieve hundreds of voters who are waiting for the word "go" of their suspense. We, of course, do not know who will be endorsed. We can only suggest the name of the candidate whom we think is best fitted for the place. That name is Louis P. Aloe. We feel that the Citizens Council will make no mistake in giving Mr. Aloe its hearty support not only in the primary, but in following him through the general election. THE PASSING OF MARCUS GARVEY The prosecution, conviction and final incarceration of Marcus Garvey in the federal prison at Atlanta, Georgia, has, doubtless, called for some serious thought by the colored people generally in every civilized country. Discussion of his case has not been a one-sided affair because some have condemned his general method of procedure, while others have approved of his course. While it is true that Garvey found a responsive chord in the hearts of many by his abuse of others, yet he unfortunately made the mistake by carrying that thing too far. The strongest argument that he could possibly make against his own honesty was his condemnation of everything and everybody who did not agree with, and follow him. His chief argument was that all the ministers were hypocrites; all newspapers, except his own, were hirelings, and dishonest; other organizations were fooling the people and his, the Universal *Négro Improvement Association, was the only genuine one that could be trusted. These bold, daring and unscrupulous statements, not once, but continually, caused the eyes of all those thus accused to turn their attention toward his conduct. They commenced to seek to find out if his garments were immaculately white. The results were, it was found, that the beam was in his own eyes while he was clamoring to all the others to remove the mote from their eyes. There was no conspiracy on the part of others to condemn Garvey. It was a natural result. Take the case of any person who assumes leadership and pictures everybody and everything wrong but himself, and you will see that public opinion will cast a suspicion on him that will require almost angels to remove. Garvey had his chance. If he had put as much energy in real constructive work as he did in abuse of others, it would be quite different with him to-day. He, like most of us, has made a serious mistake, but his differs mostly in that no one can offer him any advice unless it agrees with his own idea of things. We would not say a word about this matter even now, were it not for the fact that many are they who are the sufferers because of his conduct. They are disappointed to see him enter the prison with a five-year sentence over his head. But that is not all; the worst is yet to come; a life sentence is awaiting him as soon as he is released from prison, in the form of "speedy deportation of an undesirable." He will, of course, appeal to his followers for money, more money. He will appeal as long as they furnish the money; but Garvey knows, if he reasons at all, that he will be deported as soon as he is released from the federal prison. There will be those who will scout at the idea of deportation. They will say it is the false propaganda of his enemies, but these same people said he would never be convicted, and if he were, he would never serve a day in a federal penitentiary. Is it not best, therefore, that the people should know what will be his fate? We speak of his deportation as the natural result of Garvey's own short sightedness. He, alone, is to blame while his followers are to be pitied. There seems to be, just now, some disturbances among some business enterprises, operated by our people, which threatens to shake the confidence of some of the members of the race. There is no cause for alarm under the circumstances, as far as we have been able to judge. This is especially true of St. Louis. We here have the most wonderful opportunity for expansion in the business world. We have not scratched the surface along some business lines, hence, the call, "Go Forward" is quite appropriate at this time. The Republican City Central Committee is standing back to see which way the voters are going in the coming primary mayoralty election. That, in itself, shows who is boss. What wonderful, wonderful power we have, if we only knew it. Our status reminds one of the picture "Sleeping Beauty." What about the Citizens' Council? Yes, this is the question we should like to have you answer by asking, "what about number one?" We often find that when we see so much fault with everything and everybody, there is a great danger that the trouble lies at our own door.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, FEB. 20, 1925 MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURE By RICHARD JACKSON ANOTHER'S POINT OF VIEW It is good occasionally to consider the reactions of the contentions con- sidered in the text or of things relative to the arts which appear in this column every week. The following article as taken from the Pittsburgh American of February 7. It refers to an item appearing in this column 'January 31 under the title "Worth Developing." "Demoralizing Diversions" (From the Pittsburgh American) Last week, one of our contemporaries commented intelligently and voluminously concerning the need to be intelligent and artistic lines. We read the discourse with mingled feelings of hope and fear because we realized that every word of it is true. We are brought face to face with a condition one against which remedial measures should be undertaken at once. It is true that we are virtually just about sixty-five years removed from barbarians; we will grant that we have made wonderful strides to work developing our conditions generally in fact, we point proudly to a race in the world; but we also submit that in spite of the large numbers, possessed of training in and through the country's institutions of higher learning, all too frequently, there are those among them who seem not to know the value of what they have received during these four years within the college, walls. They seem not to know how to use them, and they seem not to know it. In connection we are reminded of the old saw. "You can take the boy out of the country, but you cannot take the country out of the boy." Our point is: How can we expect the masses to do what the classes should do because of their superior mental attainments, but will not do. The ploratarian looks to the intelligence for the example, and finds him—not where by all the laws of reason and logic, he should be found—but finds him following the same low brow pleasures and diversions of a civilization at the beginning of its first stage of development. As a people, we are great imitators; we are living examples of "keeping up with the Joneses" and if the Joneses" make the proper display and use of their intellectual and artistic tastes, instead of sinks into the depths of licentiousness and demoralizing diversions, we venture to say it will only be a matter of a few years, until our Caucasian brother will be willing to meet us halfway on the "Great Question." The Rise of the Spiritual Nothing in the artistic development of the Negro has been so amazing as the acceptance of the "Spiritual" "Plantation" or "Soul Songs" as you may be pleased to term them, for they are all of these. The Negro song is a musical song as hymns of faith in ultimate Divine deliverance from the cruelties of the Southern serfdom the songs have ascended to the pinacle of the temples of music in the land of their birth and abroad. When the first singers went north from Fisk University, in Tennessee to raise funds for the support of the institution it was difficult to get them a pearl. The announcements of their concerts were mocked by Jehovah's Witnesses' courage in the face of discourage and unbelief they were victorious after their first audiences had listened to the plaintively beautiful songs of a recently liberated people. Following their American success the "Fisk Jubilee Singers" song for royalty in Great Britain and on the Continent of Europe repeating their American triumph, Hampton, Tuskegee and other Southern schools, devoted to the education of the missionary toward the education of the North and collected millions of dollars for their respective alma maters. Opposition to the growth of the "Spirituals" was not offered alone by Caucasian auditors, for Negroes themselves, often foolishly raised strenuous objection to their being sung in the metropolitan centers, terming them "Uncle Tom" songs. The inconsistency of this was evidenced particularly in those churches which sang, as the late Dr. Watson, of the A.M. E. Church, was pleased to term them, "funeral dirge." The doogeler versification and the monotony of the music supplied were not to be compared to the simple harmonies of the soul songs. In 1892 Anton Dvorsack, white, the distinguished Bohemian composer, was called to New York to become the director of the National Conservatory of Music. Dvorsack believed that a national school of American music would be founded upon the folk music of the Southern United States, and that he would prove his theory he wrote his famous "New World Symphony" in the largo of which he introduced a theme played by English horn which suggests the negro melody "Massa Dear." Quite a step from the one-room cabin and the fields of the Southland to a motif for the highest form of orchestral composition. Negro composers have also done their share to refine and preserve the heart songs for postity. Burleigh, Dust, Cook and scores of others have produced works that will always have a place in the libraries of the United States, and includes these songs on every program and with his marvelous voices gives them a reading that has evoked magnificent tribute from audiences everywhere. Very few concert singers omit one or two Negro songs from their repertoire and the demand for Negro Glee Clubs to sing these songs exceeds the supply. Baltimore has not been backward in recognizing the Spiritual The Mormon Club and the Mormon Singers, Tensoon Singer, Centenial Club, Acadian Club and Quartette of Macedonia Church have been pronounced the peers of similar organizations anywhere. So highly has Peabody Institute thought of these melodies that an entire program of Negro Folk Songs will be presented to teachers of the faculty next month. Much interest was created among musicians of our group when it was announced that Henry K.-Hadley's Geographic Symphony would be presented by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at the Lyric last Sunday. This interest was especially acute, for of the four movements of the symphony, North, East, South and West, the third is based on a rolllicking Negro character, which of course goes to symbolize that the Negro's music is the representative music of all that portion of the world that may be regarded as South. From the rice fielda to a place on the world's most carefully compiled programs, is a stride not to be neglected. Who knows that America will not awake one fine morning and find Dvorke's orchestra to meet it.—By Kennard Williams. Good To Think About "In Washington a group of young people have organized a theater: The Renaissance Art Players', and their productions will be staged in the auditorium of the Myrtilla Minor Normal School. Mr. Nathaniel Gray is the director and Mr. Albert Knarl is assistant director. The entire group consists of the following well known Washingtonsians: Alston Burleigh, Jennings Newsom, Barrington Guy, Bernard Pryor, Newman Evans, Bryan Webster, Alkie Christman, Beshart, Williams and Thelma Watson. "On February 20, they were scheduled to produce the "Yellow Peril", a one act play by George Schuyler, which appeared in the January number of the Messenger. Here is a good example for other Negro communities." The above paragraphs are excerpts from the February issue of the Messenger. They bear a timely message. Their information may not be of first hand interest to the citizens of St. Louis, but their suggestions should cause a good deal of thinking. It is rumored, however, that members of the Urban League Players, who are well known through the wonderful plays they stage annually, and others are considering the organization of a company to be known as the Community Players. Urban League Now Located At 615 N. Jefferson Ave. The Urban League of St. Louis, is now located in its new quarters at 615 N. Jefferson avenue. The present arrangement is much more satisfactory both from the point of view of the Urban League and the thousands who are served through its Employment Department and other activities. The offices of the Executive Secretary. Employment Department and staff workers are located on the first floor, the three rooms on the south side of the hall being used by the Employment Department, with separate waiting rooms for men and women, and a large general office for the Employment Staff. A large room on the second floor will be used for the activities of the Neighborhood Department through its several neighborhood clubs and other community projects. The Urban League will now enter upon a program of expansion of all of its activities. The new address is 615 N. Jefferson avenue, corner of Luces avenue. The new telephone numbers are Bomont 3820 and Bomont 3821. Friends of the Urban League are invited to inspect the new quarters. Negro Welfare Organization Deserves Support Of State B. Special Correspondent JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 17. The colored citizens of Missouri are watching with much anxiety to sue who their friends in the $3rd General Assembly are. Sinister influences are at work among some of the colored citizens of the state. it is said, to have the Commission abolished. It is thought by leaders of both parties that their efforts will be in vain. Her party, it is, thought, wishes to go on record as slapping the Negro at this time; the results may be far reaching at the next objective. The Commission has done exceptionally well considering the small appropriation which was only $600,000* for the biennial West Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other states have given their Negro Welfare Boards greater support than Missouri. The chief need of Missouri's Commission is greater support with adequate appropriation with which to operate. The Negro migrant is crowding into the larger cities of Missouri where housing and living conditions are neither conducive to good health nor to good morals. This organization should have a corps of workers in St. Louis and Kansas City so that the migrants who desire could be sent immediately to the farmers of Missouri who need their help. Commission is Logical Representative of Race The Negro Industrial Commission is the logical representative and chief agency of the Negro race in Missouri; it has gone on record from time to time as making a fight for better schools and living and working conditions for Missouri's colored citizens. The organization has assisted hundreds of colored soldiers in filling proper bonus claims, assisted widows in securing appearances before the Commission for Blind in the case of worthy applicants in addition there to many homeless Negro children have been placed by this organization co-operating with the Children's Bureau of the State Board of Charities and Corrections. The Commission Office at Jefferson City is the headquarters for business and professional members of the race who happen to be in Jef. City on business—if it were not for them, the ladies and gentlemen of the race would be forced to wander up and down the halls of the Capitol or meet in private residences. Our chief need now is to get other appointments for our people and not to lose any. Any people who would advocate the abolishing of a Race enterprise is a traitor to the Race. The Two Millers What a man says and what he does in the every day course of events show more accurately what he thinks and how he feels toward a given proposition than anything he may say or do in reference to the same when he is seeking political office. Let us measure Victor J. Miller, candidate for mayor at the coming Republican primary, by this rule. What is his real attitude toward colored people? Is it to be measured by what he says and does in this campaign? Or shall we determine it by his actions in the past when he was not seeking public office. During the meeting Mr. Miller headed the Board of Police Commissioners, city, the paneat celebrating the 100th anniversary of Missouri admission to the Union as a state, was held in this city at the Collsum. Dr. Amanda Grey, who was Secretary of the Wheaton Branch Y. W. C. A., purchased a ticket and, in company with another lady, went to the Collsum. The usher refused to seat them in the section called for by their tickets because they were Negroes. Protest was made by her at the box office, and while she was complaining of the treatment which she had received, a police officer, who had been summoned, rushed in and pushed her out of the building, causing her to fall on the pavement. The officer dragged her from the Washing ton entrance entrance to the east side of Jefferson avenue cursing and abusing her all the while. The patrol wagon was called and she was placed therein and was started toward the 5th District Police Station but was turned loose on the way. Charges, supported by affidavits, were filed against the officer and the facts were presented to the Board of Police Commissioners at a hearing attended by more than fifty reputable citizens. Mr. Miller presided at this hearing. The evidence was presented and the Board went into executive session. The officer was not even reprimanded. Another Incident While Miller was still head of the Police Board, a drunken police officer ran amuck at the corner of Lawton and Jefferson avenues, indiscriminately searching all Negroes who passed. Other officers were called from the District upon arrival, they found the drunken apprehended flockishing his revolver after having discharged it several times. He was too drunk to give any coherent statement concerning his actions. Charges were filed, supported by affidavits, and a hearing was held. Mr. Miller presiding. This officer was also ex-operated. We believe that the above incidents show the real attitude of Mr. Miller toward Negroes. He was president of the Board, and in both instances the parties were heard with indifference. The fact that the complainants were Negroes should have made no difference, but it did. Imagine similar treatment to a secretary of the white Y. W. C. A. if you can. "Treat 'Em Rough" It will be remembered that, while President of the Board, Victor Miller issued instructions to the police officers to "Treat 'em Rough." Doubtless these brutal officers were following these instructions, as they understand them, in their treatment of Dr. Grey and other Negroes. To these instructions from Dr. Miller may experience of the colored man who takes in his own machine in front of his home, early one morning, waiting for his wife and a party of friends to start upon a touring trip, was assaulted by the police and so badly beaten that the trip had to be abandoned. Dr. Voter, how does Miller, the Police Commissioner, cooperate with Miller, the candidate for Mayor, HOMER G. PHELLIES. Preston News Service. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Feb. 18. The Rev Leroy Meyers, pastor of Presbyterian church at Struthers and six church elders have been asked to resign by the Mahoning Presbytery it was revealed last Friday that the Rev Meyers announced he would be defended would remain as pastor.

WHITES WOULD SEIZE MODERN COLORED SCHOOL PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 18.—An effort is made here to take the modern BHl School in German-town away from colored children and give it to the whites of the neighborhood, mostly Italians, who have been attending less prosperous schools. Hill School is one of the city's finest, elementary schools. Colored children have been attending it exclusively since 1900, at which time it was a frame structure. Now it is thought a pure act of empathy and selflessness that the board of education should seek to scatter the colored children about in schools attended mostly by foreigners, and to put whites in the Hill School. The colored citizenus presented their objections to the intended transfer through petitions signed by several thousand persons. As a result the board has agreed to reconsider the matter of changing the schools. Y.W.C.A. ANTHEM CONTEST WON BY COLORED GIRL PHILADELPHIA; Pa. Feb. 18.—A song that every Y. W. C. in the country will sing as a national anthem has, been written and composed by Miss Marion Virginia Turner, a young colored girl of this city. Her song was unanimously chosen winner in a contest between the women of the eleven local Y. Ws. Miss Turner is a junior in the Girls High School, and receives training at one of the country's leading conservatories. She is the daughter of Dr. John P. Turner, a well known physician and former Howard U. Instructor. POOR HOUSING CONDITIONS ARE REVEALED IN GARY GARY, Ind., Feb. 18—An investigation of the housing conditions conducted by the W. C. T. U., an women's organization of the Y. W. C. A., revealed that the Negroes of this city have sorely inadequate housing provisions. Miss Abernathy in making a report of a survey recently conducted by the W. C. T. U., stated that dwellings obtainable by Negroes are scarce and are forced to be crowded. In one place, she said she found a young girl and ten men living in a single room. Many colored homes were found to be without sufficient lighting facilities. Colored dwellers were also found to be paying double the rent that Miss Abernathy stated that the miscra- housing condition in Gary will be attacked through a bill, which will be presented to the state legislature.

Hood, United States resident minister and consultual to the Republic, "and would welcome farmers and give them land to cultivate. But it does not require the laboring man like those who migrate from the southern part of our country, because in Liberia American immigrants who come in numbers would soon find themselves stranded. "The fact that the Liberian republic is considered to be under American protection has probably prevented the European colonial powers—who control most of the rest of Africa from encroaching on Liberian territory. The Liberian republic has always remained in friendly relationship with its powerful neighbors. "I would be recruit to my trust to my own country and the country I am accredited to if I gave any encouragement to such ideas as fostered by Garvey. The colored laborer is better off in the United States than elsewhere in the world and it would be unjust to the immigrant as well as the Liberia to lead him to be lieve that he will fill an Utopia in Africa." Mr. Hood, who was appointed to his present post in Africa by the late President Harding three years ago, is on a leave of absence in the United States and expects to return to Liberia about the middle of this month. According to his statement Liberis is in need of professional men, economists and business leaders, and it could also use a supply of mechanics and other skilled laborers. But it has enough common labor to supply the demand. An empty title comes high, but many a silly American helgess feels that she must have it. Yes, Clarence, there are workers and workers.

Announcement was made of the launching of the League's National Industrial Program with T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago League, in which department an important investigation will be started to show the experience of Negro workers with trade unions. An effort will be made to open industrial opportunities for Negroes and to let Negroes know where they may most work and good living conditions. In 1924 the League was instrumental in getting 19 places on the program of the National Conference of Social Work at Toronto to discuss the Negro. The executive secretary of the League was elected to the governing board of the Conference and two of its local secretaries were appointed to other important committees. Through the League's local branches health programs, employment service, community centers, school visiting, nursing service, clinics, convalescent work, recreational activities and some economics have been developed. With a minimum budget of $4,000 for 1924, the National Urban League raised $5,000. The League now employs 175 workers and $300,000 was expended by the national and local offices, in 1924. FLORENCE O.

K. BOYD IRA GRAFTON GEO. GORDON The St. Louis Argus LOOKING ON AND LISTENING IN Thanks, thanks very much. The Tower has found its place in the sun. Radiograms are reaching Tower Man from far and near. It's a grand and glorious feeling. Saturday Evening Post carries a long story about Irving Berlin, whom George M. Cohan once introduced as a "Jew Boy named after an English teacher and a German city." Berlin a product of New York East side and Chinatown, has an amazing career, the kind of man the founder Tim Bland to "What'll do" to him. He has a marvelous insight of popular taste. Berlin's greatest successes are built up around ragtime and jazz products of Negro life, and yet his "story" not writhed by himself, however, contains no racial reference. "Bah, bah, Black sheep." There is in Chicago, on a prominent thoroughfare. South, a twenty-four apartment building with practically half of the suites empty. The neighborhood is changing, but the landlord is still with it, though it is Colored. He is paying for his prejudice at the rate of $1,000 a month. Hate comes high. In Columbus, Oh! there was once a similar landlord. His building remained vacant three years. Finally the authorities made him a tenant. To whom did he rent? Colored. Lester A. Walton, a staff correspondent of the New York World, has completed three years' service with that great molder of publishing. Both the World's Mr. Walton and the United States' World for its vienna, and Walton for his efficiency. There are many good reporters who never become staff writers, with the stories appearing, beneath their cognomen. Walton is a ready and clever writer; he has that rare ability for comprehending the stories of the world, and these have followed the World's examples. Colored America reads everything that's printed, from Yiddish in Hog Latin. Harold Tyler, a native of Column JON. JONES TOM WELLS JULIA THOMAS A. WINZELZEL MRS. Wm. MARTIN HY. REELING LIVING NAPPE L.

Tyler, former Auditor of the Navy, is to marry Miss Clementine Yerby, accomplished and popular daughter of Consul and Mrs. W. J. Yerby. This combination of hearts unites two distinguished families. Tyler's maternal father, grandfather and great grandfather have been in his family. His mother comes from the famous Mason family of southern Ohio. The Tyler family is noted for its cultural attainments. "And Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands." Marcus Garvey, "Provisional President of Africa," losing his case in the U. S. Court of Appels, goes another step toward testing the decision of the lower court, and the last, the Supreme Court of the United States, acquires the right to racial concurring the case, has not varied. Domestic complications have added to the complexity of the situation, and the sailing of the Booker T. Washington amid huzzas, and hurrals, for West Indian ports, has made him a greater hero, than ever in the eyes of his close followers. There is this general agreement. Garvey has crystallized racial consciousness among the masses more than any other person; he has been organized and active in the fight for freedom and how faithful are the opinions under debate. White capital has steadily and persistently shied from Colored American encouragement. There are a million ways in a million sections of America where this can be propped. Great corporations like the National Cash Register Company, the Department of Agriculture, and the company that they may go only so far. The United Cigar, Stores Company, getting tens of thousands of dollars from colored smokers throughout the land annually, recently placed a clerk in their store at the busy corner of 35th and State, Chicago, in has advantage. The 7th Avenue at 157th, 7th and Lenox avenues at 157th, in Washington at 14th and You; and in Philadelphia at Broad and South; in all other racial centers. Bert J. Hunter, Chicago, West side, has been a faithful and trusted employee of the Northwestern Railroad system for more than twenty-five years. He and his wife, Mrs. Anita Banks Hunter, are natives of Balmond, Ohio. He is a graduate of Richmond in the grocery business in Richmond, half century ago, and was a close friend of the father of the Tower Man. The Hunter's live in a delightfully modest apartment; soft lights, radio, victoria and plum, where permeates an atmosphere of Christian peace and good will, that lifts one out of the trying perplexities of a busy world, and renews his strength for the days to come. You know, the land is home. They are thousands of "Hunter homes" throughout the land, with family backing and earnest living. They are the tower of strength in the unquestioned progress of a mighty people. ADDITIONAL OUT OF TOWN ST. CHARLES, MO. The pulpit at St. John's A. M.

N. K. Raleigh, N. C. The founders of the Persian people were closely akin to the Ethiopians and both the Persian and Median nations were founded by people of African descent, according to their own legends. Tithousan, king of Ethiopia, and his son, Memmon, were the builders of the first cielel. A line of Ethiopian kings were mentioned as having fled in the Shah Namch, the Persian epic. As late as the time of Nexxes the Persian monarchs bounced from desert to desert who was gold find of Persian, who was of African descent and huddled at Andromeda, an Ethiopian princess. Felix Luschan noted ethnologist, chains he has never found, the Nordic type among—the true Persians. Were any of the Biblical prophets Negroes? R. B. K. Memphis, Teh. The early prophets of Israel were a pretty dark bunch. Moses is represented as a typical Negro in a painting now in Berlin and in old prints from Hebrew sources, all of the prophets are represented as exceedingly Negroid. In fact, the ancient Hebrews were a very much milled people and even today there are thousands of them in Palestine who are typically Negro in everything save their language alone. Is there any test to distinguish Negro blood from white blood? G. F. T. Cloehead. None. There have been claims, but they are false. The most minute microscopic tests have never been able to develop any difference. Human blood is the same throughout the world. Was Cleopatra a colored woman? D. L. O. Corinth, Miss. Cleopatra was a malatto and a mixture of Greek and Egyptian. HOOSIT? By Robert P.

Answer to Hoosit 1 - Samuel Cottering Taylor. THE WHATNOT COLUMN By Robert P. Edwards *For the Associated Negro Press.* 184. Was the Missouri Compro- mise ever repeated? All that remained unorganized of the Louisiana Purchase including the present States of, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas, with parts of Colo-rado, Wyoming and Montana, was divided "between" two territories, named Nebraska and Kansas, but an organization act which re-organized the territories as "positions" and provided that States formed hereafter from these territories should be "received into the Union with or without slavery, as their constitutions may prescribe." "This" organizing act became effective in 1854. 165. What were the pro-slavery demands against Abolition? Maddened by the activities of the Abolitionists, the extreme champions of slavery began wild efforts to suppress all expressions of opinion within the system of human bond, their own. They demanded that no modern community that no person of color or meeting should be permitted to discuss slavery in a hostile tone; they also demanded of congress that anti-slavery writings should be excused from the mails, and that no petition concerning slavery should be received by the government, in other houses. 166. What is the Willis Request? Under the will of Senator William Villas, of Wisconsin, who died in 1905, provision was made for ten scholarships and ten fellowships for persons of Negro descent at the University of Wisconsin. It is provided that ten undergraduate scholarships and ten fellowships are to be established for the encouragement of musket talent, or to promote the appreciation of music. The trustees were An. instructed to provide for one hundred more undergraduate scholarships with salaries ranging from $300 to $600 each, to each of which graduates of the University shall be afp pointed.
