INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION MAYOR JONES TO PUSH ANTI-LYNCHING OF BROOKLYN PROGRAM TO THE LIMIT PASSES AWAY An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man Prominent White And Colored Leaders, In Three Day Session, Discuss Ways Of Creating Better Feeling Between Races. CURBING LYNCHING IS THE CHIEF OBJECTIVE ATLANTA. Ca. May 4—An intensive antivirus antivirus campaign, the promotion of the study of race relations in colleges and schools, and efforts for more adequate social facilities better housing and general welfare of the colored people of the South, were among the major objectives set for the coming year by the Southern-Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation, in three-day session here last week. Sixty representative men and women of both races—bishops, secretaries of great church boards, educators, Y. M. C. A. executives, business and professional men and women prominent in church, and club circles—were present from all over the South, all the states except Arkansas being represented. Notable Colored Personnel The colored membership of the Commission was represented by Bishop Robert E. Jones, Bishop George C. Clement, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, President of the National Council of Women of the Darker Races, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, President of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. R. R. Moton, Dr. and Mrs. John Hope, Dr. Isaac Fisher, Mrs. H. L. McCraory, and Mrs. R. S. Wilkinson, all of whom contributed to the program, Miss Eva Bowles of New York and Mrs. Isaac Fisher, Mrs. H. L. McCraory, were elected to membership on the commission. There were present also visitors a number of distinguished colored leaders, among them being Bishop R. C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church, Dr. George E. Haynes, of the Federal Council of Churches, Dr. A. M. Townsend of the National Baptist Convention, and Dr. Monroe Work of Tuskegee Institute. Lynching Holds Center of Stage The Commission's keenest interest was centered on the necessity of making an early end of the Lynching habit, which has been decreasing at a rapid rate during the last three years. The marked decrease in Lynching was ascribed largely to the mobilization of southern women against it, to the condemnation voiced almost unanimously by the press, and to special anti-Lynching legislation in certain states. The Commission determined to push the crumble more vigorously and by appeals to government shoals and by efforts to secure additional legislation in certain states, by special intervention in case of threatened Lynchings, and by the cultivation through the press and, in every other way possible of such a public sentiment as will no longer tolerate mob murder. College Groups Seeking Truth Dr. T. J. Woofer, of the Commission's headquarter's staff, reported that courses in race relations are being given in sixty white colleges in the South, and that there are also numbers of voluntary student discussion and inter-racial forum groups which could be used to support Commission expressed keen interest in this development and recommended that it be encouraged and promoted. Clark Foreman, secretary of the Georgia interracial committee, told of receipt investigations of model housing projects in Cincinnati and New York and outlined plans now under way for similar projects in the South. The Commission gave heavy approval, feeling that, such a movement would meet an acute and long-felt need in many communities. The suggestion was made that a national foundation be created for the purpose of helping the person making the most important contribution in the realm of race relations. The plan was enthusiastically received and will be worked out, if possible. It was felt that such awards would greatly stimulate the movement for right racial adjustments. Encouraging suits were reported from nearly every quarter, J. D. Burke, John of the education group, in Kentucky, and successful campaign against crime in Memphis, and reorganization of the interracial work in Alabama, with especially notable results in Mobile and Selma.

There were such stars on the program as Nathaniel Dett and the Hampton Institute chair; the Amphion Glee Club of Howard University led by Prof. Henry Lewis; the Richmond Treble Club of Richmond, Va., and other leading artists. When the hitch in the proceedings became noticeable to the audience, several conferences were held between the colored and white leaders but no amicable agreement was reached.

Wednesday high, resulting in the death of one Negro and the wounding of eight whites, two of whom are not expected to live.

A bitter battle ensued which lasted until officers appeared on the scene and dispersed the rioters. No arrests were made. NEW PHONE NUMBER CENTRAL 4620 PRICE.5 CENTS Fails To Oust Pres. Young After Long Session. Vote Stood Three-Three With One Member Not Voting. Delegations, Telegrams And Letters Pour In Protesting. Two Colored Members Stand Fast While One Betrays His People. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. May 5. (Special to The St. Louis Argus) Much excitement prevailed at the Capital City Saturday during the meeting of the Board of Curators of Lincoln University. The news had been widely advertised, prompting the press that at the meeting a change would be made in the head of Lincoln, with a view to touching the activities and course of instruction of the school. This news had erased a general protest from the citizens of the state who have the interest of the Negro youth at heart, and delegations and protests have seized the board, until there was no doubt in the fair-minded members of the board as to the wishes of the people. One member of the board is quoted as saying that he had received more than fifty letters from different parts of the state deploring any change at this time. A delegation of citizens from St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia were there, and were given a hearing before the Board of Curators. The speakers pled with the board to "save Lincoln." It was shown that a change would mean a backset in Negra education in the state. Spokesmen for the delegation were: Prof. Joson School, Kansas City; Prof. W. H. Harrison, principal of Attacks School, Kansas City; Prof. Scalie Wood of the Federated Club, Kansas City; Mr. Goo, B. Vashon, St. Louis, and J. B. Coleman of Columbia. Other members of the delegation were: W. T. Spencer, J. E. Mitchell, Mrs. Paine Brown and Mrs. Goo, B. Vashon of St. Louis; Grand Chancellor Lloyd, who came down from Kansas City; Prof. H. L. Cox, principal of Wendell Phillips School of Kansas City; and Rev. Spurlock of Jefferson City. Deadlock In The Board It was evident early in the meeting that a deadlock would take place if a move should be made to oust President N. B. Young as head of Lincoln, and when the matter was finally brought to a vote the ballot stood three for and three against, one member of the board not voting. An analysis of the vote is as follows: Young, Dr. J. E. Perry of Kansas City; Chas. H. Kirshner, Kansas City; Laron E. Malone of St. Louis; Opposite G. Williams, Jefferson City; Clifford Sorrugs, Jefferson City; and Samuel Gass of Sedalia. State Superintendent Chas. A. Lee did not vote, thus making the vote a tie. Commenting on the situation after the meeting adjourned, Mr. James, who is president of the board, said, "We did not elect a president of Lincoln today. The vote was a tie. 'I want a man as head of the school who is a high class educator, who can build up the school and make it a first class college the same as we have down at Columbia. I don't believe President Young can do the job.' When asked whom he thought would make an ideal man, for the place, he said, "I regard 'Chris' Hubbard as the leading educator among colored people in the United States, but I don't think they can get him as he has been re-elected at a higher salary. George Smith College has been trying to get him for many years but couldn't get him." He said that the interest the people were making in the matter was only making "that matters worse." When asked when the board of Curators would meet Smith, he said he did not know, but it would be about two or three weeks. It is understood that the three members who voted for President Young will stand fast and they are: Dr. J. E. Perry, Prof. A. E. Malone and Mr. Kirchner. The two former are colored members. Just what State Superintendent Chas. A. L. Dooley is not known yet, however, it is understood that he is, favorable to President Young, but refused to attend the meeting for the sake of honor. Bitter in Denomination When the news spread that C. G. Williams had voted against President Doug Young, comments were loud and long condemning him for the standoff he took. A prominent citizen was heard who could not be a trafic to my race after I was told what the people really want. Williams was further bitterly assailed as being a "deterioration to the race." It will be remembered that C. O. Williams has a job under Government Baker, and as such, it is pointed out, he is not免死 to act in the interest of people unless the governor ever so. This was shown, it is said, by the attitude of Mr. Malone and Dr. Perry, who were free to act in the best interest of the people because millions of them hold a political job.

Besides the unique Mothers and Son program, the Y. M. C. A. has invited Mrs. Josephine M. Norcom, Executive Secretary of the Cincinnati, Ohio Y. W. C. A., and an unusual speaker on the problems of the home, to deliver the annual Mother's Day address.

Mothers And Sons Banquet The first annual Mother and Son Banquet will be, held Friday, May 15 at 7:30 p.m. This banquet promises to begin a new season in mother and son relationships.

Circus The fifth annual indoor circus of Pine St. Y. M. C. A. has been witnessed and ceclaimed a great triumph in an amateur entertainment by more than 2300 men, women and children who packed the gym at the four performances last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and Saturday afternoon. From the gate entry of the circus parade until the final cry of "pop corn, showing gum and candy" by the typical circus vendors, each of the twenty acts on each of the four performances held the large crowd in awe and adoration. Acrobats, comedians, musicians and dancing girls from all parts of the city gave their very best to their respective parts. Trained "animals", clowns and circus kept up the fun, while expert V trained and other performers gave the turtles and dancing girls and make quirky plays and tickled the fanacles of the crowds. It would be difficult to select 'the outstanding performers,' although it was easily evident that everybody enjoyed Lee, the fat man, the tulip-shaped clowns (young Lewis and George), the little Misses Nodas, the horizontal comedian, Noah Prewinton, the comedianist, and the thin gray team. Everybody left the circus, praising it, and the big question among many is: "Will the circus not have to go to the Coliseum next year?" OLD FOLKS HOME The Board of Managers of the Old Folks Home asks the clubs and other organizations that visit and carry donations to the inmates of the City Infirmary, in nanking a published report of the visit not to say Old Folks Home. The City Infirmary is not the Old Folks Home. Donations to the Home for April Aprons for the inmates from the Sewing Circle of Stewardess and Deaconess Council; beautiful Easter Baskets from the Y.

I was plunging to run over and see if I could engage, your company for the Mothers' Day address at the "Y." I will be delighted to go. Mabel, and I think it very kind and thoughtful of you. I was thinking only a while ago that, there is a growing tendency among the young to forget those who have grown old. There is a lack of reverence for the aged. And I think it is important for the part, Annie. Why only a week ago I read in the Argus that one of the Social clubs of the city spent an afternoon giving cheer to the inmates or one of the homes for the aged I read the article, Mabel, and I was delighted to know that in the midst of the seeming wild life that most of the young are living, a few found time to cheer a few of those, who in their days of activity cheered and made sacrifices for some boy or girl given the modest institution given very distinct institution in respect for those who have grown old. I recall, Mabel, the time, when a child would not permit an old person to cross the streets alone, but now it is common to see the young and healthy seated in the street car while the aged and tottering stand struggling to keep on their feet. This should not be true among civilized people. It says it too true, Auntie, but I plead "not guilty" to the charge. Why, amuse! I never have and never could permit an elderly person of any group to stand in a car while I occupied a seat. I strive to be conscious to all, but I make a specialty BROADCAST WARNING CONCERNING JUNE MEET OF N. A. A. C. P. IN DENVER DENVER, Colo., May 6. As a forwarding to those who expect to attend the 18th annual conference of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, which meets in Denver next month, a request has been sent for an early signification of the intention, in order that the best accommodations may be afforded, all those who plan to attend, whether as accredited delegates, members or friends of the N. A. A. C. P., have been asked to send their names to the headquarters of the organization at 69 Fifth avenue, New York. In connection with the June Conference, Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., made the following statement: "Not only Denver律师 but friends of the N. A. A. C. P. in other cities and in adopting states are planning to give the Conference a truly western welcome. To make it easier for them as well as for the National office of the N. A. A. C. P. to entertain all visitors, we are asking every one who plans to go to send us his name." The more people there are, the better railroad accommodations we can get. For instance, the group from New York and New Jersey will go to Denver in special cars and possibly a special train. To make such arrangements, we must know beforehand, as long as possible, how many people are going to make the trip. Aside from the excursions to Colorado Springs and Gates of Ocala, we are attending much interest, two features of the Conference which will receive special attention, are the questions of Segregation and Disfraternization in the South. The court fight against segregation will be discussed and made clear to visitors from cities where similar contexts are being waged. The struggle against disfraternization begins against the Texas "white primary" law, will also receive the thorough discussion. BALTIMORE. Md. May 6.

Young Joseph was pushing his cone along the curb, when he was struck and his Saker fractured. The accident occurred when Saddle who was receiving instructions from her brother, became excited and let the car swerve into the curb, striking Joseph. U. S. ECONOMISTS PREDICT HIGHER MEAT PRICES WASHINGTON. May 6—Warsaw earners of America will be compelled to pay congruently increasing prices for beef products during the next six years, the predictions of the economists of the U. S. department of agriculture relative to a shortage in beef cattle are reliable. According to the department's figures, beef cattle have declined during the past year from 41,220,000 to 29,609,000, a decrease of more than 2,000,000 head. "All signs indicate that the beef You have held to your early teachings, Mabel, and it is only one of the examples of what proper training will do. I trust on Mothers' Day that every old person, denied the pleasure of having their loved ones around them, will be remembered in a way by some person, who will make them feel that they are not altogether outcasts, as so many of them feel they are. No doubt once upon a time each one of them had a home that was happy and enjoyed the prattle of little tots. No doubt, some of them have children, somewhere in the world today, who don't know that they are alive and because of the lack of pride and self respect to say nothing of love, are children (in the child health would permit the public to support their parents if they were pride. Visit the Homes for the old, mother, and their mother will attend you listen to first one and the other tell you with tear-dimmed eyes of their love for Johnnie or Mary and how that they are old, no one cares for them any longer. Auntie, I know it must be bitter for one, who has enjoyed the comforts of home in the young days to be placed through circumstances in a public institution after old age. To my mind, that is the time when one should have the comforts of a home. I don't think any child can prosper very long who deserts mother or father in old age and I am going to do my bit to cheer some neglected mother on that day. chares the department. "If the presen- cycle runs true to form the general-trend of cattle prices should be upward for six or eight years." Higher prices for beef cattle due to the department will inevitably be reflected in boosted retail prices to the consumer. RACE BOY SAILS TO FACE ENGLAND'S BEST DEBATERS LEWISTON, Ma. May 6—John P.

RADCLIFF'S MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY AT THE BOOKER Frank Radcliff's Musical Comedy company is presenting an entertaining show at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. Mr. Radcliff and Rastus Brown Jr., are the comedians and their humorous entanglements serve to keep the audience in a laughing mood. The composition of the show is a mixture of music and dancing with the comedians breaking in wherever there is an opportunity to make fun. In the list of specialty numbers perhaps the Radcliff team, man and woman, is the best. This is a vocal duo which includes "In Carolina in the Morning" and "Loveless Love Blues"; both are syncopated gems, made more so by the voices of the singers. Not far behind this as a feature is the acrobatic bck dancing of Brown. However, all the special numbers are good. Three girls, Cordelia Casseff, Dorothy Powell and Lillian Radcliff have a neat song and dance "Oh Baby" with a dance take off by the comedians, who later have a humorous experience with the velled Cropane, who has an auto stop signal. Miss Caseff sings and dances "Somebys Wrong." Connie Green as a powerman, has a hot time finding out, from the comedians, who stole the ham "Selma the Great" appears in two song numbers, "Red Red Rose" and "Do Right Daddy." The closing piece is a cabaret where Radcliff does some jazz stunts on drums and trombone, and Brown does his best dancing. The chorus of girls have severer good songs and "Worries" including "House of David Blues." Others in the company are Lottie Young, Laddie Springs and James C. Kooks.

Gerk, captains of the various police districts, are requested to immediately telephone 'the record room at headquarters, the name, age, residence and occupation of each person arrested in their district on charges. The object of this is to enable the officials to look up the records of previous arrests for submission, to the fudges. The Chief insists that this rule must be followed without fail in all such arrests as speeding, careless driving, violating boulevard, stops, disregarding automatic traffic signal, vagrancy and cases of misconduct, without the previous record, these cases will not be tried. ONE KILLED. TWO WOUNDED IN A PISTOL BATTLE In a shooting duel between Harry Christian, 1323 J. Linden street, and George Morris of 1304 Morgan St. Saturday afternoon. Christian was instantly killed by his opponent in front of the Linden street address. Morris and a bystander, Victor Regna, were sent to the City Hospital seriously wounded as the result. The shooting began when Christian charged Morris with stealing accessories from his automobile. Christian, according to Morris, opened fire and shot Regna, who was en route to his home at 920 High street, when struck by one of the bullets. Christian was pronounced dead when taken to the hospital. Morris was found to have a wound in the right side and another in the right leg and Regna a wound in the right chest. SENTENCED FOR RAPE George Hudson, 24, of 3110 Lucas avenue, charged with outraging by force, was tried by a jury November 22, the jurors not being able to agree, and was tried again last week by a jury in Judge Taylor's court and sentenced to thirty-five years in the penitentiary. He was arrested February 25, 1924 on complaint of a woman. CROOKS. POSING AS PORTERS Police are asked to look out for two men posing as Pullman car porters, who have passed bogus Pullman Company pay checks to the amount of $4000 during the past few days. The checks are all of the $95 denomination. The men passing are not identified, such as tags on their key rings and Pullman cards in their billbooks. SERGT. COOPER GETS MAN WHO REPORTS HOLDP Through the development of one of Detective Sergt. Cooper's shrewd tricks, Zack Parrish, night watchman at the Vaughn Garage, 718 Bayard street, was trapped, when he went to police headquarters. Tuesday night to identify the man who tied him up and stole a Morman automobile from the garage early Monday morning; but before Parrish left, he himself was identified and locked up as the highwayman who had been operating in a Morman car the same morning. About 5 a.m., Monday, Parrish had called the police and reported that the place robbed him of 45 and after binding him hand and foot, had picked out a Marmon and driven it away. Half an hour earlier, however, William Kamm-mever, a driver for the Nafziger Baking Co., had reported that a man driving a Marmon car had robbed him of $14 at Loughborough and Pennsylvania avenues. The holdup man, he said, was light brown, about 25 years old, and wore a gray cravennette coat and gray cap. Detective Sergeant Cooper noticed that this description fitted Parish to perfection and, believing the two stories about Morman cars might be from the Kammermeyer and Parish to come to headquarters at the same time. Kammermeyer identified the night watchman at first glance. WARRANTS OBTAINED BY POLICE GEORGE A. BAKER, 2891 Morgan street, obtaining money under false pretenses, arrested by Detectives Thomas P.

ALL POLICIERMEN CHANGED TO NBW BEATS Every policeman in St. Louis, with a few exceptions, was yesterday walking a new beat, as the result of wholesale shifts in the department ordered by Chief of Police Gerk. No transfers were made from district to district, but the police dealt with them their own ground. The action marks the setting of another precedent by the new police administration. "The change was, decided upon," said the chief, "to increase the efficiency of the department. It is only natural, when a man walks a beat for a number of years, for him to make friends and to overlook violations of the law. "We have decided that liquor joints, professional gamblers and poolrooms that cater to red hots have no place in St. Louis. We feel that we can get better results if the beat men are not acquainted with the proprietors of these places." This policy, the chief said, would be followed in the future and the men would be shifted whenever they became too well known. SLAYER OF BERIS PILLOW HELD ON BOBBERY CHARGE Thomas (Dewey) McAuliffe, 2805 Benton street, Hogan/gangster who was acquitted in the murder of Erris Pillow, a colored bank messenger who was slain after he had identified James B. Hogan as one of a band who had robbed him, was arrested Tuesday at Elliot and Cass avenues on a description given by. William Bryson, 2813 Cass avenue, who was arrested night in front of 2807 Cass avenue. Bryant identified McAuliffe, who denies any knowledge of the hold-up. A warrant was applied for. JUNIOR IDEAS Edited By LORETTA E. OWENS EDITOR'S NOTES Promise and Performance William Shakespeare tells us that—"Promising is the very air of the Time; it opens the eyes of expectation." Performance is over the stuller for the love and joy of the past and simpler. Kind of people, the deed is quite out of Use. To promise is most courtly and fashionable. Performance is a kind of will or testament. Which argues a great sickness in his judgment. That makes it." Why can't we as Kowiesz promise to do things of importance and perform the duty before us? Summer is in a thin silken cassock of colour'd green, summer sun, and ever fanning breezes and makes the spring, from its ardent looks avert her bashful face. I have had suggestions for means of enjoying the summer months. I have suggested plans myself, and have even performed my duty toward acting out these plans. Why would we promise to help make Kewpie's enjoyment 100% if we do not exercise the even duller for our act—performance? The performance of our duties must be done through authority, therefore necessitating officers of the organization. But: can we act when there is no one to act with? Can we succeed as an organization without cooperation? What does Thompson's Association reveal to us? It is quoted "It is success that colours up in life: Success makes tools admired, makes villains honest. All the proud virtue of this vauing world Fawns on success and power, however acquired. Now, Kewpie, let us make our summer activities a success. Come to the Kewpie meetings, and learn what we are doing. GOSSIP Kewpie corresponding club held it first meeting of the season May 14, 1925. The next meeting will be held May 22, at the residence of Kewpie Josephine Turner, 3011 Dkp- sion street. If directions for teaching the address are unknown, Sister Susan will gladly direct you on request. Kewpie Robert Lee Hampton of 4 8. Ewing, St. Louis, Mo. has renewed his membership in this organization. The following persons have been re- corded as new members. Margaret Armstrong 2514 Market street, St. St. Louis, Mo. 14; Lola Jones, 4228 Madditt street, St. Louis, Mo. 13; and Alma Danzler, 1004 Broadway place, East St. Louis, Ill. 11. Please correspond with all Kewpies, both old and new. Don't forget to read The Argus and not the news. Sister Susan is asking for new members, articles for publication and more mail. A CLUSTER OF QUOTATIONS Only engage and then the wind grows heated. Begin it, and the work will be completed. Toil. I report, toil, either of the brain, of the heart, or of the hand, is the only true nemesis, the only true nobility. No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him. There is always work and tools to work with, withal, for those who will. And blessed, are the horns hands of toil. Taste the joy that springs from labor. SISTER SUSAN. APPLICATION BLANK For Membership of Kewpie Correspondence Club Sister Susan, 3003a Dickson St. St. Louis, Mo. I desire to become a member of the Argus Kewple Club. Name Address Age Birthday City State THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1925 Victory Life Secures Prominent Salesmen The Victory Life Insurance Company announces with pleasure the acquisition to its agency organization of Messrs. J. E Stamps of Atlanta; J. P. Bond of Washington, D. C.; Nathan Wright, Jr., of Shreveport, La.; J. E. Nance of Atlanta; L. E. Redmond of Augusta, Ga., all from the old Standard Life, and Lemuel L. Foster of Chicago, formerly with the Lincoln Reserve Life of Birmingham, Ala. After carefully considering all of the Colored Insurance Companies, these men finally decided to cast their lots with the Victory Life. They bring to the Victory a very ripe experience in the insurance world which will redound to the prosperity and solidity of the Company. Mr. J. E. Stamps, a graduate of Fisk University, former teacher in State College, Prairieview, Texas and Business Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., in Chicago, has taken up work with the Victory Life as Agency Supervisor for the State of Illinois, with headquarters at the Home Office in Chicago. Having been the agency Educational Instructor for the Standard Life, he is well qualified to supervise his territory in a most efficient manner. Under his direction the first month, the Illinois Agency paid for $176,000 worth of business, thereby breaking all previous records. It is the ambition of Victory Life to build in Chicago the largest Colored Insurance Agency in the world. After sizing up Mr. Stamps from a point of character and insurance knowledge and carefully scrutinizing his insurance tactics, we say without hesitance that the Company has made a very wise choice in selecting him to build the Agency that is to be "Supreme" in the insurance world of our Race. Mr. J. Percy Bond, better known in insurance circles as the "Super Life Insurance Salesman," has been appointed Agency Supervisor of the Eastern Division for Victory Life, with headquarters at Washington, D. C. He will give immediate attention to the development of Washington, D. C., and Maryland. The District Office for Maryland will be located in Baltimore. After many years of varied experience in business, he was elected Cashier of the Penny Savings Bank of Selma, Alabama, which position he filled with credit. Mr. Bond has had more than ten years of continuous insurance experience with the Standard Life. In addition to his supervisory duties, he has personally written and paid for over $200,000 worth of insurance yearly, thereby distinguishing himself as one of the largest producers of the Race. He writes the very highest class business, practically all of it being among the profession and business men and women. His ability, honesty and conscientiousness is attested by the very high regard with which he is held by insurance companies and salesmen, the people of his own town, and the countless numbers of friends scattered throughout the Coun- VICTORY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY WOMEN'S FEDERATION The St. Louis Federation of Colored Women's Clubs appointed a committee to draft a strong resolution dismaying any action or tendency to invade the affairs of administration of Lincoln University in impetty-politics, Mrs. Patee Brown Educational Center, Pigeon River, of the Board of Curators at Jefferson City, May 4 and presented the same. A great ovation was tendered Miss Arsuta M. Williams, Chairman of the Executive Board, whom the Kansas City Federation, had invited to be their distinguished guest and speaker at their 10th Annual Club Day Celebration. Miss Williams paid a glowing tribute to the work of the Kansas City Federation and spoke at length on the wonderful esprit de corps of this organization of 1 clubs, with a membership of 875 women under the splendid leadership of Mrs. Estelle W. Woods, referred to the way in which the influence of Kansas City Federation was indicated by the hearty cooperation given by the Community Center of the Urban League, the X.W. C. A., the Lincoln High School and the Western Baptist College. Mrs. T. J. Nevins reported $50.00 paid to Mrs. Phillip North Moore, President of the National Council of Women for entertainment of the Quinquennial meeting of the International Council of Women which meets at Washington, D. C. May 14. The women of the world share in the work of this organization of which our National Association of Colored Women is an active member. Along the lide of Social Service, $5.00 was contributed for filling the Crump case papers. PEOPLES HOSPITAL NOTES The People's Hospital has started its spring cleaning with the patricia Agency Force Greatly Strengthened of the operating room, surgeons dressing room and sterilizing room; also the painting of several rooms. Come in and register in the Hospital Nurse Register, as we have quite a few ralsa for registered trained nurses for private duty, and do not know, how to get in touch with you. We will be glad to have you register with us. URBAN LEAGUE NOTES During the month of May the Neighborhood Department will conduct a "Clean Up" campaign. Every club member will make himself an example in the "community. House and grounds will be made as attractive as possible and then kept in that condition. Flower seeds will be distributed and a prize, awarded the person who has made the most attractive grounds at the end of the summer. Waring club held a very successful chicken dinner on the evening of April 24. During the past week Lincoln, Duras and Waring clubs held meetings. The organization of a new club to be known as. The Thimble club" was completed during the week. There will be meetings of Simmons, Lincoln, Bamkeer, Waring and the Thimble Club this week. Addresses Community Fund Staff Gordon H. Simpson Executive Secretary, addressed the staff members of the Community Fund and Community Council last Tuesday morning on the Purpose and Program of the Urban League.

Nance, formerly Agency Director of North Georgia for the Standard Lifer and one of its, leading producers, has recently connected himself with the Victory Life as Agency Supervisor of the St. Louis District. He is an Alumnus of Morehouse College, was former Secretary of the Colored Executive Secretaries' Conference of North America, and for three years Executive Secretary of the East St. Louis. Young Men's Christian Association. Consequently, with the social and business experience and knowledge of agency building, Mr. Nance comes to us with a broad background for service. With the co-operation of Mr. C. A. Reid, Manager of the St.' Louis District, Victory Life is virtually assured $1,000,000 worth of paid for business the first year. Mr. Louis E. Redmond, formerly of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and an alumnus of Lincoln University class of 1923, is now connected with the agency force of Victory Life.

May 6. —Prosecution proceedings have been ordered begun here by Attorney General L. A. LeFevre against John Deesr, a Negro, 28, who appeared in this city last week with a white wife, 25, formerly. try. Victory Life is most fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Bond. Mr. Nathan Wright, Jr., was an Agency Supervisor of the Standard Life and one of its three largest producers. His personal production was so gratifying that he joined our Agency Force as a Special Salesman with ambitions of being the first Negro salesman in the world to write a HALF-MILLION DOLLARS of paid for business in one year, and then a MILLION. Being a young man of 35, well educated and with a thorough knowledge of insurance, coupled with an overwhelming amount of industry and initiative, we believe that Mr. Wright is the most logical Negro salesman in America to make a world record by paying for a HALF-MILLION DOLLARS worth of business. He is working in West Virginia. WRIGLEY'S after every meal! WRIGLEY'S PK CLEANING GREET PACK OF OILCES SEALED TIGHT KEEP RIGHT Wrigley's freshens the mouth and sweet- ens the breath.

His former connections at Philadelphia, Augusta and Atlanta, Georgia have served to give him a wide acquaintance which has already helped to promote his production in Chicago. He is now specializing in the Educational Policy and asserts freely that the Victory Life contract is the best on the field and is certain that the personnel ranks first in the confidence of the public. Mr. Lemuel L. Foster, Manager of one of our Home Office agencies, was one of the most successful general agents of the Lincoln Reserve Life Insurance Company of Birmingham, Alabama, and is a graduate of Fisk University—Student of Economics and Sociology. During the war he worked under under Dr. George E. Haynes as Economic Expert. Mr. Foster has had three years experience as business manager of the Famous Fisk University Quartette. In this connection he travelled in every state of the United States, making thousands of contacts. He is also a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and has recently been nominated for membership in the Chicago Interracial Commission. Mr. Foster was formerly President of Tougaloo College Club, Chicago. He is also President of the Fisk Club, Chicago. Mr. C. A. Reid, Manager of the East St. Louis District for Victory Life, has been with the Company for more than a year. His work has been so satisfactory from all angles that the management feels that the East St. Louis District is too small for him. The Company therefore, takes pleasure in announcing his promotion to the position of Manager of the St. Louis District which has been consolidated with the East St. Louis District with headquarters at Room 202, 2348 Olive Street, St. Louis, Missouri. CHOSE THEIR COMPANY WITH CARE When asked their reasons for finally deciding to connect with the Victory Life, the youngest of the legal reserve companies, the replies of these men were practically unanimous, which were as follows: THIRD: Its unexcelled participating and non-participating policies FOURTH: The low net cost of insurance FIFTH: Opportunities for Advancement. SIXTH: Liberal agency contracts giving non-forfeiturable renewal commissions. AGENTS WANTED Mr. Life Insurance Man! If it is worth while to choose the Company you are to work for, and you know it is of the most important consideration, it will pay you to get in touch with the Victory Life before all of the good positions are taken. For Further Information Write: Laura Fuque, whom Deyer is declared to have married in Stokke, Washington a day, before his apprehension. A charge of violating the Montana mixed marriage laws will be placed against him. It was also declared that some action was on foot to have John L. Slattery, U. S.

BOARD FAILS US The people of the state were very much disappointed to learn that the Board of Curators of Lincoln University failed to re-elect President Young at their meeting last Monday. The people were deeply interested in the outcome, and the school will suffer from the suspense. The hundreds of letters and telegrams were not sent to the board merely in the behalf of N. B. Young, but in the interest of the education of the Negro boys and girls of the state. Mr. Young happens to be the man in whom the people have confidence because of his ability, experience and training. He has proved beyond a shadow of doubt that he has vision by the program he has worked out, and, of course, he is able to carry out his program for higher education if let alone and given the proper support. There are no charges against President Young. His opponents are divided in their criticisms of his administration. Some say he is trying to do too much and his program is ten years ahead of time; while others say he is too slow, and does not have a program; he has done nothing in two years. The fact is, none of the critics have taken time to investigate what is really being done at the University. Those who have the interest of the school at heart, and have given the matter a little study believe, there is a deep and well laid plan, on the part of certain designing politicians, to make and keep Lincoln University a political foot-ball whereby the positions from president down, may be bartered and sold to pay political debts regardless of the fitness of the persons who get the places. This ought not to be. It is a crying shame. It is worse than highway robbery because it takes from the child the thing that will make him a man to stand among men. It takes from the Negro youth of the state the education that their parents are paying taxes for, and the governor of the state knows it. But what does the governor care? He has shown by words and deeds that he is opposed to higher education for the Negro youth of Missouri. The smaller the school, the easier it is to manipulate. All the governor needs to carry out his plan is just a little encouragement. The hundreds of letters and petitions to save the school seemed to affect him like water on a duck's back. Some of his strongest supporters are very much disappointed with his actions in this matter, but what does the governor care? He probably will never run for office again, and too, because he figures that the G. O. P. has the Negro vote in its pocket there is no reasonable reason why their petitions, protests, pleas or delegations should move him to act in the interests of their children in an educational way. Even though the governor opposes it, yet the Board of Culators have, by virtue of their office, a duty to perform in the interest of advance education for the Negro youths of the state. ALAS!! C. G. WILLIAMS Alas! Alas!! C. G. Williams, a member of the Board of Culators of Lincoln University, was forced to show his hand as toust what he really stands for, so far as Negro education in the state is concerned. This show-down came last Monday when he voted to remove President Young as head of Lincoln without any ust cause or reason whatever, except to please the governor. Williams has all along, since the question of a change became public, been "everything to everybody" or, in other words, has been carrying water on both shoulders. In one breath he would declare his race loyalty, and in the next, would swear-allegiance to the governor only. The law creating the university, provided for colored members on the Board of Curators, the thought being that they would be especially mindful at all times of the best interest of the Negro boys and girls of the state. This, C. G. Williams has failed to do. He has put his own interest first. The welfare of the people can go to h——just so long as he, and his, are cared for. Unlike his associates, Dr. J. E. Perry and Mr. A. E. Malone, the other two colored members of the board who stood up like men and voted to save the school for the Negro youth of the state, it was left for Charles G. Williams to play the part of a traitor to his race in the hour when his vote could have helped He has betrayed the trust of the people who expected him to protect their interest. It will be said of him that he sold out the race for a little political job at the hand of Governor Baker. Surely the people perish under such leadership. We have noted that Williams repeats the words of the governor, or the governor repeats the words of Williams. Just which one is "Police" parrot, we do not know, but we do know that there is an underhand, undermining method being used to rob the Negro youth of the state of the educational facilities due them. If C. G. Williams is not a part of this general designing scheme, let him cut and "come over on the Lord's side." e great need of the colored people in the state now is lead- up-standing men and women who stand for honesty and ty; men and women who put the welfare of the race above Not, the job-seeker, not the parrot yes-sir-me-too-boss kind we stood in our way to progress for these many years; —men who will stand and not retreat in the time of need. We are reminded here of the words of Holland which give expression to our thoughts at this time: Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue. And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds, Mingle, in selfish strife—lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps! Don't forget Mothers' Day, Sunday, May, 10. We think sometimes it ought to be "Mothers' Week" that every mother's son might be reached and reminded of mother. Every mother should be made happy during this week. Every son and daughter should pay special attention to mother—Remember that a mother's love is akin to that Divine: The new-Board of Police Commissioners, City of St. Louis, is determined to shake up the department from .center to circumference. Results they want, and results they must have. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1925 Miss Hazel Harrison The music season of 1924-25 came to a brilliant close in St. Louis Tuesday night with the appearance of the internationally known race pianist, Miss Hazel Harrison, in joint rectal with the St. Louis Young Ladies Club club. Miss Harrison was superb in her mastery of technique and her artistic interpretation. Her playing was characterized by feeling and expression that betoken the pressures of a mature and sincere artist. She rendered gentle and peaceful movements, and reached soaring climaxes with calm effectiveness and facility. In the opening number, Chaucer an obsolete dance of Spanish origin from Bach and Burrow. Miss Harrison gave an excellent demonstration of her wonderful execution by the clarity and percision of her rendition, Fantastic and sentimental numbers from Chopin and Lizt, which were prominent on the program, were touched with a familiarity that conveyed the spirit of their composers to the hearts of the listeners. One could sense the presence of those flighty poets of the realm of sound, whose very sonic presence present in their compositions, readable, as if they were heights of the Gods. In the closing heights, Aynsley on the Beautiful Daphne by Johann Strasen, the romantic waltz song was played with graceful and sentimental expression and tender warmth of emotion that left its enchanting beauty fingering with a well satisfied audience. The Young Ladies Glee club gave a number of pleasing renditions that afforded evidence of a refined measure of ability in harmony and balance. In theppe, the director, Miss Grazia Cornelia, presented a well trained group of sweet voiced singers. Attorney N. B. Young The announcement of the winner in the National Urban League magazine "opportunity" Literary Prize contest first Friday, showed that Attorney N. B. Young of St. Louis, received first and sixth prize in honorable mention for short stories. In his accomplishments, Attorney Young has done the city and race, as well as himself, an honor. St. Louis owes him the highest respects for having so worthily represented it in a nationwide literary contest in which the foremost Negro writers participated, and for which leading white and colored literary critics of the country acted as judges. He is to be commended. An account of the prize awards will be found on the first page of the second section of this issue of The Argus.

PROFESSOR IS NEW FISK PRESIDENT NEW YORK, May 6.—Prof. Herbert Miller, white instructor of Ohio University, has been named to fill the presidency of Kisk University following the recent resignation of Dr. Fayette A. McKenzie. NEGRO LABOR IN ST. LOUIS By Wm. V. Kelley "Men coming into St. Louis from a number of the northern industrial cities complain that 'work is slow' in the places from which they have come. Upon investigation of the St. Louis Industrial District, we find that New Orleans has the same complaint to make: that labor conditions generally are studied, and employers seem well satisfied with the conditions of things and predict that 3125 will be a year of prosperity. From our contact with the industries of St. Louis, we are advised that there is no unemployment, of consequence here and that few men have been laid off. These industries do not expect my industrial depression this year, but rather look forward to a larger business the last half of the year. Such conditions necessarily lead to the suffering that Negroes are the ones suffering for or the lack of work and that unemployment as general as would be supposed. How such a condition exists is largely a matter of speculation and one must necessarily be guarded in suggesting the cause for such a condition. There are, however, some very potent facts to be reckoned with. The first half of 1923 found the northern industries short of labor due in part to the existing immigration laws and to bullied production. Negroes came north in large numbers. Another fact which we soldom consider is that whites came north in even larger numbers than did Negroes and became their competitors in the shops. The white workmen came in search of better pay. Negroes came, hoping for social freedom, educational advantages and better living conditions, based upon what they believed to be an assured economic foundation, there have been thousands of Negroes who have met with the anticleric success as far as educational advantages, better living conditions and money are concerned, while on the other hand there have been thousands of whites who have met with unexpected failure, whom have drifted back into the south, others have become floaters in north. Those who have succeeded have been the ones to survive the ever accelerated price set for them in foundries and factories, and the Negroes who have had enough money to establish themselves in business and support the same by the patronage of Negroes. Whether or not the personnel of the larger factories today has been neednental or a well thought out plan, one can not say; but the fact remains that there are enough Negroes of superior skill and physical ability retained in them to offset, to a great degree, the ever present threat of union labor strikes. Negroes in industry in the north serve largely as a labor stabilizer. It is not without resentment from Negroes, that they are often styled strike breakers and seabats, but what is to be done when they are not admitted into the unions, and a living must be made? Again, one may well ask the question, would Negroes be benefited if they were admitted to the unions? Would there not be the possibility of being so bound by the obligation of the union that they would be helpless against discrimination from within? There is one thing certain: capital has by far the better of the deal as it now stands, which incidentally is an advantage to Negroes. *Strikes are less probable, and the Negroes who gone south have done so with reluctance will be ready to return north at that point in northern capital. The Negroes appreciate that is thought of, generally, in terms of his ability to produce, but we have little kick coming; for there is much for us to gather from the wreckage. NEGRO ELECTED TO NATL HONORARY MUSICAL FRAT. EVANSTON, M.I. May 6. The brilliant career of Carl Russell Robinson, senior rate student in the Northwestern F. School of Music, who gives promise of being a master musician, took on new splendor last week when it was announced that he had been elected as a candidate for initiation into the PI Kappa Lamda, a national honorary musical fraternity. Robinson, the first colored student ever elected to the honorary society, was included among eleven other individuals selected for scholastic excellence as candidate for initiation into the local Alpha chapter. Mr. Robinson, a student of the plan, will have completed this June, in three years, a ten-year course in Applied Music. He has appeared in recital in Michigan. During his freshman year at Northwestern, he was a member of the university Born in Louisville, Ky., in 1905, Mr. Robinson was educated in the public schools of that city, and was graduated from the Central High School in 1922. For two years he was leader of the High school orchestra. He entered Northwestern in the fall of 1922. He has appeared in recitals in several cities of Kentucky, and in Indiana and洛瑟 Ill., and is at present, organist for the St. Andrew's Episcopal church. He plans taking graduate work at Northwestern in the summer school and in the fall sessions. He is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Alpha Chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda was organized at Northwestern in 1918. Prof. Arnold Oldburg, head of the department of applied in the School of Music, is the present. Eleven other chapters of them located in California, round out the national organization. When a man has no idol at all, there is a great vacuum in his life. Frederick Douglass, himself a former bondman. Among those of his own race there is a movement, encouraged and sanctioned by many leading white citizens, to allot to him a niche in the Hall of Fame. Surely if moral courage and devotion to a worthy cause entitle one to such recognition the qualifications have been met in the present case. Fame knows no color line, no aristocracy birth or wealth, no country. It is by her virtue only, by her maintenance of right only, by her steadfastness in times of discourage and adversity that the laurel wreath is won. Its bestowal, soon or late, comes only when those in whose behalf great sacrifices have been made learn to realize the true value of the service rendered. "Douglass was a plantation slave half Nergo, and was sold by his master, a Maryland planter, to a Baltimore shipbuilder, in 1832, when he was sixteen. Six years later he escaped. Not until 1841, however, was he sent to the condemnation of the terrible system he he was born and reared. It was at Natucket that he first gave promise of the power and persuasive eloquence which later thrilled audiences both in his own country and in England. He was uneducated, except as he was self-taught, but his thirst for knowledge was inspired by the realization that only through attainment could he hope to exert an influence which would hid in the deliverance of his family in the bondage. He lived to see his great bondage, and to mark the progress on his follows in their march upward and onward. "In his lifetime, too, Douglass received that recognition to which he was so justly entitled. In 1871 he was appointed secretary of a commission, sent by his Government to Santo Domingo; in 1872 he was a presidential elector; in 1877 he was marshal of the District of Columbia, and later, Commissioner of Deeds, and in 1889 he was appointed Minister to Haiti. In Rochester, N. Y., the city to which he fled after escaping from slavery, a monument has been erected to his memory. In Boston, Douglass Square is named for him. "No Negro has heretofore been proposed for a place in the Hall of Fame. Surely it seems fitting that the honor should be bestowed. It would testify eloquently to the genuineness of American democracy. Perhaps it would, likewise, tend to inspire and encourage, as such tributes are-intended to do, greater unselfish devotion to the cause of humanity everywhere. It is only as humanity is emancipated and redeemed that it is freed from its own sense of bondage and its self-imposed servitude." AI Smith Supports Governor Smith's letter to Allen endorsing Douglass as a candidate reads as follows: "Dear Mr. Allen—I have your letter of April 17, calling attention to the movement to. perpetuate and honor the name of Frederick Douglass. "The life of this man is an inspiring example of one who made himself. Born in slavery, self-taught, his thirst for knowledge knowing that it alone would further his hopes of delivering his people from bondage, placed him in the ranks of orators of ability. "Lossessing those qualities which virtue, courage and perseverance, he, in a quarter of a century in the emancipation of the people of his race and in which he was so unfitting in his devotion to the cause. "On his death he was enolized in all parts of this country and England, in just recognition of his worth and achievements as an aggressive champion of his people and others who were denied the privileges to which, in his opinion, they were enolized, an a good to send you this message in a request and to extend every hope to you for the success of your worthy plan in further honoring this American statesman." Election Means Much The Hall of Fame was established at New York in 1900 in commemoration of great Americans. Fifty names were to be inscribed on the tablets at the beginning and five additional names every fifth year thereafter until the year of 2000, when 150 inscriptions will be constituted. Hall of Fame as now constituted. Hall of Fame as been authors, twelve statesmen, five preachers, five teachers, five educators, soldiers and sailors, four inventors, four jurists, two philanthropists, two artists, one reformer, one pioneer, one engineer, one dentist and one actress.

INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION TO PUSH ANTI-LYNCHING PROGRAM TO THE LIMIT INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION TO PUSH ANTI-LYNCHING PROGRAM TO THE LIMIT CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE race relations before many important KOUNTS R. W. Miles spoke for Virginia and North Carolina, where, in addition to the usual program, the interracial committees are making a special study of housing conditions, with a view to improvement through legislation and otherwise. Mr. Miles noted also a most encouraging change of sentiment in Mississippi, as indicated in the recent building of splendid colored high schools in Natchez, Jackson and Meridian, and by the quarter-million dollar school building program recently set up in Coahanna County. Bishop George C. Clement of Louisville, told of effective efforts for better Negro schools in Kentucky and reported a recent case in which the prompt action of interracial groups prevented a threatened lynching. Prof. Leo M. Fayrot of Louisville told of good local work in New Orleans. Shreveport and Lake Charles, as well as by the state committee, and unsecured plans for or organization at five new points. Press Co. R. B. Elenzer, director of publicity reported widespread and cordial co-operation on the part of the press and exhibited clippings showing that the Commission's news service is being used in 450 papers throughout the nation, with an aggregate circulation of more than 10,000,000. It is believed that the number actually using this service is two, or three times as great as these figures indicate. Dr. M. Ashby Jones of Atlanta was re-elected chairman of the Commission and Dr. Will W. Alexander continues as director of the work. BROWN BABIES AT WORK The Tenth Crusade—Baby Contests The Tenth Crusade is on, and it is being led by the Brown Babies of the United States of America. There were eight Crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries, in which the Christians of Europe tried to rescue Jerusalem and the Tomb of Christ from the Turk. One of those Crusades was of little children. And two or three years ago we had the Ninth Crusade against lynching in the United States—a crusade led by Brown Women of America, under the generalship of the now deceased Mary B. Talbert. Now we have the Tenth Crusade a crusade of the Infants, another attack on the devil and the Turk. The oppressor is the Turk and the lyncher is the devil. The Brown Babies are leading the assault. They began in 1924; they will not cease their Crusade until the Final "Victory, be that one year, or one hundred years, or two hundred hours. Hence. Babies always win; babies never cease to come; the last word and the last effort will belong to the babies. What immeasurable power, what attraction of leadership there is in these babies. Last year as an experiment they raised $12,000 for their fight. This year, as a more definite plan, they will raise $25,000 at least. Can there be any greater glory than for a tiny Brown American to begin life in this way? Will not some artist cohesive and exercise for us a picture of this little dimpled Warrior, - with his buckler and shield and sword, marching onward to the New Jerusalem of Human Liberty? "And a little child shall lead them." "Little Brown Baby with sparkling eyes." We have never seen the grown-up Brownns follow any leadership so loyally and unselfishly as they are folloving the lead of' these infants. And we have never worked and toiled with many sorts and all types of people, have never felt such inspiration to "Do and Dare" as that which we now receive from these Dimpled Darlings. To me they are the Insurance of Victory. By enlisting them in infancy, we can in a generation or two create a Race that will justify our love of them. The Kingdom of Heaven is like the Bables-Power and Glory without out guide. On with the Brown Babies. Wm. Pickens, New York City them all to be read. The floral designs were numerous and costly. Interment was at Lincoln Cemetery. It is doubtful if any single event could have produced the effect on colored Chicago that the death of Frank L. Gillespie did. In the last five years of his life, he had promoted a business which was the pride of Chicago and had come to be regarded as one of the new and salutary influences in Negro business. He was a bold pioneer, intrepid, keen and resourceful. When his alps in the beautiful Liberty Life's building heard of their death, the they were stunned. The girl in the office crieed. The men were sad. Asked, what the new lender might be, they could say. It was hard for them, it is hard for anybody to think of a successor to Frank as he was familiarly called by those who knew him. Only one name has so far been mentioned, that of R. R. Taylor, vice-principal of Fuskegee, as a probable man to take up the rels: where Gillespie left off. Mr. Taylor is a member of the board of directors. Frank I. Gilliespe was born in Osceola, Arkansas, November 8, 1876. The early years of his life were spent in Memphis, Tenn., where he received his grammar school education. Later, when his family moved to St. Louis Mo., he attended Summer High School for three years. However, as young Gilliespe was a yolletin of rare talent, his parents planned to give him a musical education. With this intention, they sent him to study at the Boston Conservatory of Music. The opportunity to finish high school was gained while he studied music in that city. Then instead of completing his musical career, young Gilliespe entered the law school of Howard University. For a while all went well; but difficulties came and he was forced to attend his formal education. Once out of school Gillespie began his fight for a place in the world of business and large affairs. First he returned to Chicago where he secured employment as private secretary to Mr. J. C. Yeager, a prominent Chicago capitalist. At the death of this employer he sought other activities. Positions followed one another in rapid succession. He became the first colored employee of the Automatic Telephone Company and afterwards entered the real estate business with Mr. Oscar DePriest. For two years he engaged In that profession, but he had not yet found his life work. Finally in January of 1916, he left to join the agency force of the Royal Life Insurance Company. With that organization he began his first real ascent on the ladder of achievement. He had found his calling. By August of the same year Gillespie was made superintendent of the company. He thus became the first colored superintendent of an Old Line Legal Reserve Insurance Company doing both industrial and ordinary business. The success which attended Gillespie as superintendent of the Royal Life Insurance Company was pleasing; so it happened that in the fall of 1917 he became organizer and officer of the Public Life Insurance Company of Illinois. This was the first time in the history of life insurance that a. Negro had been elevated to a position of such responsibility. Gillespie made good. For two years he assisted in the development of the young institution, then he decided to organize a company among his own people. He say the need clearly and knightly knew one year's of experience could make possible. Such a company, he realized, open the door of opportunity to thousands of his race. Liberty Life Insurance Company of Illinois is the result. It is managed by a group of the most competent men in the field of life insurance and stands as an everlasting monument to the genius of its founder and a ballwark against the misfortunes of all awakening people. In 1902 Mr. Gillespie was married to Miss Edreanor Porece of New Orleans, Louisiana. To this union two children have been given, a son now 20 and a daughter of 17. The beautiful home life of this group and the progress of Liberty Life Insurance Company of Illinois attest the success with which a master mind has met and solved the problems of his day.

C., May 6—President Coolidge, following his induction to office, and even before, for that matter, made a fine impression on such individuals and groups of colored men as conferred with him. The men came away from the White House after I told the President Coolidge is all right. I feel sure that we are going to get a square deal and fair play." President Harding had gone to his reward; and so far as Colored America was concerned, there was not much reward due him. He had told colored advisors that he proposed to treat them right: he told them that even before he was nominated in Chicago. The late Charles Cottrell, of Toledo, Ohio, heading a group of colored delegates at the 1920, convention, went to the Harding hotel, and it is recorded as one of the proudest moments of political leader's life, when he listened to Senator Harding tell the men: "You can count on me to be fair and just with you. Not only will I give you fair treatment and justice, I will give you more. not only will I give you all the appointments that I have given, but many additional ones." That sounded "bully" as the famous Theodore Roosevelt would have said it, and it is what Henry Lincoln Johnson, and others have said. Following the nomination, some the campaign. During the campaign in his address of acceptance, at a Pilgrimage to Marlon, Ohio, attended by hundreds of colored men and women from all parts of the United States, Mr. Harding went out of his way. If one wishes to put it so, to tell what he would do when President, Harding was elected. Did he function; did he keep his word? He did not. He fell down miserably, so far as expectations followed. In the months that followed, there was no let up in segregation in Washington, and there were so few appointments that colored people throughout the country became disgusted. Enter Harding Coolidge of Mass. President Harding came to nf immediately death. Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, then vice-president, succeeded Harding. "It is too bad Harding is dead, but long live Coolidge. He died of a country to the other, another kissed Americans." President Coolidge was cordial. True he did not do much directly, but excerse was made for him by saying: "Well, he is merely serving out Harding's term. Walt until he starts on his own right, then things will happen." Three months of that "own right" opportunity have passed. What has President Coolidge done? There has not been a single outstanding appointment of a colored pullet has not decreased, and segregation has not continued. On the other hand, record-keeping questioned information, observation and facts from the inside, matters seem to be getting worse rather than better. The Associated Negro Press could enumerate scores of facts in connection with conditions here. Suffice it at this time, to quote from a confidential letter from one of the ablest and one of the oldest in point of continued service, government employees in Washington. The name of this informant is naturally withheld. He is a splendid type of manhood, who has cared by the fine profession or business cared by the public such about by government employment what he says: "Following the imnervation, you spoke hopefully so far a change in conditions here, for our group; which would be brought about in the Coolidge way. I said I would be rent胶-to note such a change "Well, I think sufficient time has elapsed and I think I see a slight change, but not in the direction hoped for." "From: my observation the tendency is a tightening up of the discrimination as formerly practiced. There seems to be a tacit understanding between Republican administrative officers and Democratic chief clerks that the chief clerks and other 'little chiefs' will be sustained in whatever manner that furthers such discrimination. The situation is this: In a very short time, colored persons will hold no higher positions than menials. The Race's political leaders seem to be all immersed in Register of the Treasury, and you may feel as I do, if appointed, there is small chance of confirmation. To strengthen themselves in their positions and to help for our group, it would be most helpful to take some united action against the discrimination that is now growing and create sentiment more favorable." This is a wall from the inside. The writer of this communication to the Associated Negro Press is one of the men on the inside of the government service who has been held down by the iron hand of prejudice. He has a story that few real Americans can tell, and could not be in government practice, under "Both Democratic and Republican administrations. He is typical of hundreds and hundreds of others who have talked to the Associated Negro Press in recent weeks. They are all asking, and those outside of office are asking, to about to President Coulson?² A satisfactory answer to this amazingly increasing number. President Busy Everywhere But In Realm of Coloreal America Headlines in daily newspapers say, "Coolidge Strong for Party Loyalty," "Nation May Get Police Force," and many others that indicate the labors of the Chief Executive in the direction of better government, but none of this affects Colored America directly. "The people of our race believe in law enforcement, but we wish the laws enforced that are helpful to all citizens. We are weeded by the hypocrisy of our office holders," said one irate citizen. It is a cold, cold fact, complained of by white and Colored Republicans, that both the Harding and Coolidge administrations have permitted the Democrats from the South to not only continue their war on China, but also to continue their war on Japan and propagate against colored America. This is an open secret, that no high Republican official has had the nerve to tackle with determination. It is impossible to put in English word the chargin and disappointment of Colored Republicans if this practice is permitted to continue indefinitely under the present administration. The manner in which these conditions are salved over, or ignored. In one of the additional amazing facts of present day politics, it all harks back to the lamentable and superficial political position of 15,000,000 American citizens, who are compelled by a fraudulent and unconstitutional political system to endure "taxation without representation," who have not a single member of the group in either House or Senate, a place where more representatives are held by force of disfranchisement, and who are in a tenuous three score and ten are in office because of the votes of Colored Americans in northern states.

S. Treasury And Finally A Bishop. KANSAS CITY, Kans., May 6.—Next Sunday, May 10, Bishop W. T. Vernon, of the A. M. E. Church, will sail for the Bermudas, where he will conduct the annual conference of the district. Mrs. W. T. Vernon will ad company the Bishop, and during the sojourn on the islands will deliver; several addresses to the missionaries who will be holding a convention there at the time. This will be just another time in the life of the eminent theologian, who was the love and respect of his people through his great career of usefulness. If a history of the lives of great American Negroes is ever compiled, the name of Bishop William T. Vernon will stand along with those of Booker T. Washington, Fred Douglass and Paul Laurence Dunbar, as a monument of the manhood of the race but as an example of men who obtained the heights through determination and persistence. Bishop Vernon was born in Lebanon, Mo. In bishop Yon the entered Lincoln University at Jefferson City, Mo. and after the struggle, Mo. to poor youth of the race, finished at the head of his class as orator and valedictorian. He taught school for several years, and then attended Wilberforce university for a time. He was called as the President of the Western university at Quindaro, Kansas, then a struggling institution fostered by the African Methodist Episcopal church. He had one small building with no more than twenty-five students. After ten years there he had so developed the institution that it was one of the best known schools west of the Mississippi river. He had introduced and passed through the Kansas Legislature the bill granting the State Industrial Department, which brought to the school many thousands of dollars. He secured, all told, as much as a quarter of if million dollars for the institution and left it in 1909 to assume a position in Washington as Registrar of the United States Treasury. When he left the school, Western university had a faculty of 15; large buildings and near 400 students; during his ten years at Western University he had become known as an orator of national fame. The late President Theodore Roosevelt appointed him to this position in the government. He served this office from 1900 until 1911. The duties of this office are very important, as it was necessary that his signature appear on all government bonds and all currency of the United States of America. Bishop Vernon resigned this position to assume the presidency of Campbell College Jackson, Miss. one of the institutions he church. From there he went to the pastorate of Avery Chapel in Memphis, Tenn. one of the greatest churches of his connection. Bishop Vernon's son, as pastor was most phenomenal; will be recalled, that he had been raised to preach, and joined the Missionary annual conference as early as 1896. He was a leader of his conference delegation to the General Conference that met in St. Louis, Mo., 1920. There he was elected Bishop by the greatest vote of any Bishop elected in the history of his church. He was, assigned to the 17th Episcopal district, which embraces the work of his church in South Africa covering Cape Colony, Transvaal, Orange Frye State, Natal and Basutoland. Bishop Vernon non's work in South Africa (the made two trips there) was phenomenal. He completed a school in frr away Bassutoland and this feecedement a promise made by his church a quarter of a century ago. He traveled among the various native tribes and labored earnestly there. His recent General Conference assigned him as Bishop over the fifteenth Episcopal District, conferences of which are Bermudan, Ontario and Michigan. With the denomination Bishop Copph be he also assigned Bishop of Indiana and Illinois. He has cloed a remarkably successful series of conferences. Never before has so much been done for Willerforce University by these conferences. Bishop Vernon is a Kappa Alpha Psi member, Odd Fellow and Third degree Mason, Lincoln University has conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts. Willberforce has conferred upon him the degrees of Doctor of Divinity and Doctor of Laws. Bishop Vernon is married, his wife being the daughter of the late Bishop J. C. Embry. They live in their home at Quindaro, Kansas, City, Kansas, the seat of the institution of learning to which Bishop Vernon devoted many years of his life. Negroes Not Being Trained For Diplomatic Service Clifton Wharton Sent To Post, In Liberia Without Usual Training At Washington Proston News Service WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6. Norfolkism, Ku Klux Klan, Race Superiority and other whiteisms in America were manifested by the white students of the Foreign Service School of the State Department last week when the "Superior" (?) Nordics went on a strike protesting the presence of Clifton Wharton of Massachusetts, the only Negro student to enlist. After school lengthy conferences of State Department officials, Wharton was immediately "graduated" without taking a day's work of the required year's course, and given official recognition as a full-fledged diplomat and sent to Liberia as a United States attache. The Foreign Service School was recently established with the idea that American diplomats should be professionals, who had been taught while young and trained thoroughly in all the wiles of international procedures before being sent abroad to speak for an Incle Sam. Congress provided in all authorizing the school that every attaché taken into the Government's official service must receive a thorough preparatory training in all diplomatic practice and procedures before being sent. With this foundation an attaché can gradually be promoted until he finally becomes a full-fledged ambassador if ability warrants. It appears that the white students of the school could not "stomach" the idea of a *Negro taking the preliminary qualifications.* 500 Japanese Families To Settle On Ohio Farms Preston, News Service WILLIARD, Ohio, May 6—Reports that the Ohio Farm Company will lease 1,500 acres of its swamp lands near here to Japanese farmers confirmed Thursday night by President H.

La., May 6—The community would mean but little were it not for Aileen Green Normal and Industrial Institute. We find that the school is a means to an end. The Christian institution has had twenty-four years to prepare the and the following. Skill comes to the home through the child and if the child is made into an ideal the home will be such. Our importance and necessities bring to us some aid thru the charitable hands of friends, and we were successful in receiving last session $1,637.15. Our work is attacked with zeal and interest, hence, we wish to do this work on a larger scale. To accomplish this end, we cordially ask of the general public help. A school means much to any home, and a home is no better than its occupants. A Christian ideal home has for its occupants Christian ideals.

NEW PHONE NUMBER Of The St. Louis Argus CENTRAL 4620 Address 2312-14 Market St. PETER TURING MACON, Ga., May 8, 1983 The fifth annual meeting of the Georgia Colored Parent-Teacher Association was held with a delegation of 250 representing 225 Parent-Teachers Associations, five P.

(white) who was introduced by Mrs. Bruce Curr Jones of Atlanta, National chairman of Illiteracy (white). The vast audience that listened to the address can never forget the ringing applause by Mrs. Reeves for the welfare of children of all races, saying among children things that there are three important things to be considered in child welfare, home school, and church. To these she stressed the necessity of cooperation between parent, teacher, and minister to spoke many of Georgia colored P. T. A., saying among other things that she had several calls from other gates as to how to organize state P. T. A., and that she had referred them to Mrs. H. B. Butter, president of Georgia Colored P. T. A., Geo. W. Smith, president of Chatham Savannah Council, responded in a beating way. Mrs. Bruce Curr Jones, National Chairman on Illiteracy, spoke on her work, giving statistics on adult illiteracy all P. T. A. to open schools for such children, J. E. Anderson, another ardent friend of the Georgia Colored P. T. A., spoke in a motherly and Christian way, touching on child welfare. She said the democracy can not be safe until the are saved. There were other prominent speakers, among whom were the National Health Nurse, State Health Nurse, ministers, business men and women and educators. The reports from Parent-Teacher associations were indeed inspiring, being held with note-worthy achievements, showing that there are no set rules for P. T. A., but that each can do that which is best suited or needed in their community. All of the business sessions were presided over by the President, Mrs. H. R. Butler of Atlanta. Tuesday night public session by Mrs. M. L. Jenkins, of Macon. Mrs. Jenkins handled this wonderful program with case and dignity. The welcome addresses by Mrs. J. H. Robinson of C. C. College and Ray. J. T. Hall were inspiring; also the response by Mrs. Rhela Rivera of Columbus. The president's annual address was the best the convention ever heard. Mrs. H. L. Taylor of Columbus, Ga., conducted a play hour, Mrs. Taylor introduced several games, some of which were the apple eating, balloon and candy. The reception at the close was a feature of much pleasure. The convention was well cared for by Mrs. Banks, on homes, Mrs. Burdell and a host of Macon's wonderful people. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Mrs. H. R. Butler, president, Atlanta; Mrs. S. F.

L. Bailley, corresponding secretary, Atlanta; Mrs. P. L. Smith, assistant corresponding secretary, Savannah; Mrs. Willie Daniels, treasurer, Atlanta; Mrs. Relia Rivers, historian, Columbus. History of Organization Following is the interesting success story history of the organization: The beginning of the P. T.A. work in Georgian is the result of a conference which, Mrs. H. R. Butler, a patron, had with Miss Cora B. Finley, principal, and Miss Olive Taylor, assistant principal of Yonge Street PAGES 9 TO 14 Public School. They saw the need of such an organization, in order to create a letter feeling and clearer understanding between teacher and parent. Hence, an invitation was sent to the patrons of the above named school by the principal to meet at the school March, 1919. After hearing the object of the meeting, and an explanation of P. T. A. work by Mrs. H. R. Butler, who was presiding, a permanent organization was perfected at Young Street School, Atlanta, Georgia, with the following officers elected: Mrs. H. R. Butler, president; Mrs. C. B. Finley, vice president; Mrs. R. A. Carter, secretary; Mrs. Jiddy Hiley, treasurer. As the work developed other schools of the city organized P. T. A.'s, which were in time organized by Mrs. Butler into the Parent-Teacher Council of Atlanta. Seeing the rapid development of the work in other parts of the state, Mrs. H. R. Butter issued a call in interest of the State P. T. A. As a result, in temporary organization was perfected in the fall of 1919 in the War Camp Community Center, Edgarsed Avenue, Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. J. E. Andrews (at that time) president of the white state P. T. A. was presen, and by invitation, presided. The following officers were elected: Mrs. H. I. Butter, president; Mrs. S. P. Brown, vice-president; Miss Nellie Lewis, vice-president; Miss C. B. Finley, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Willie Daniels, treasurer. In May 1921, in the lecture room of Bettel A. M. E. church, Atlanta, the organization was made permanent. There has been a state meeting each year since that time. In Columbus, 1922, Atlanta, 1923; Savannah, 1924, Macon, 1925.

Daan Schoenberg, Chicago, Illinois, Oklahoma City, New York) Newspaper Union, 11 Lesson for May 10 LESSON TEXT—Aims 8:28-39. GOLDEN TEXT—The entrance of THE GIVEN LIGHT.**Pp. 113-130. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Man Did What God Told Him. JUNIOR TOPIC—Philip and the Ethel- son treasurer. INTERNATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Won Won the Ethiopian. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Use of the Bible in Evang- ellism. 1. Philip Meeting the Ethiopian (vv. 26:30). 1. Leaving Work by Divine Direction (vv. 26). The Lord called Philip away from a great work in Samaria and specifically directed him to this man. Abraha haulie, he eyed the divine command not knowing why he should leave the work in Samaria and go into a desert place. As he journeyed on by faith he espied the state charlot of the Ethiopian treasurer. The Spirit of God directed him to go near and join himself to the charlot. The inceptive question put to the treasurer gained him a seat by the side of this dignified officer. The mission which at first seemed so unpromising was now clear. 2. An Officer of State Seeking the Way of Salvation (vv. 27-28). The Ethiopian had been to Jerusalem to worship. Despite his high official position he was not ashamed of the worship of God. The journey from that far off country required much hardship and expense, but to the one whose soul years after God, this is all joy. 3. A Providential Meeting in the Desert (vv. 29-30). The coming together of these two men was clearly the predetermined way of God. 4. Philip Preaching to the Ethiopian (vv. 30b-35). 1. The Ethiopian's Employment on the Way (v. 30). His occupation at the time of this meeting was reading the Word of God. At the invitation of the Ethiopian Philip himself to the charlot and found him reading from the 53d chapter of Isaiah. This is a most excellent way to spend one's time while traveling. 2. The Absolute Need of a Preacher (v. 31). The Ethiopian was reading one of the clearest testimonies to the Messiah in the Old Testament, yet he was unable to get anything out of it. The fact that the Ethiopian, a great statesman, needed an interpreter of the Scriptures, even such a plain passage as the 3d chapter of Isaiah, shows the absolute need of a preacher. The gospel must be experienced before one can be a witness to its saving power. The human mind is blind to spiritual things, making the work of an evangelist indispensable. If a statesman of this rank was unable to grasp the meaning of such a clear passage, it should not be thought strange that for the rank and file of men a guide is needed. God has designed that through the foolishness of preaching the world should be saved. Preaching the Word of God will always be necessary. He began at the Scriptures which the Ethiopian was reading and preached unto him Jesus. This shows us that the person represented in the 63rd chapter of Isaiah was suffering instead of others was Jesus instead of Israel; also that the central theme of the preachers message should be Jesus. He did not preach Jesus as a great teacher, but as a Savior who had suffered and died instead of sinners. He preached Him as the one who had offered Himself as a ransom. 111. Philip Baptized the Ethiopian (vy. 36:38). As a result of Philip's preaching the unchuck proposed baptism. When Christ is truly preached, men naturally desire to confess him in baptism. Where this feeling is lacking, the gospel in its fulness is evidently not preached. The Ethiopian might have offered many excuses for neglecting this important ordinance, but like every man who is honest before God, he was wilting at any cost to render obedience. The proof that men really believe in Jesus is their willingness to render obedience to His Word. It is faith in Christ that saves, but those who have genuine faith desire to seal it in baptism. Having secured from the Ethiopian the proper confession, Philip baptized him. IV. The Ethiopian Rejoicing (v. 39) Confession of Christ always brings joy. Those who obey the commandment of the Lord can go on their way rejoicing. Truth Truth is as impossible to be solved by any outward touch as the sunbeam. - Milton. Makes Life Worth While It. is faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth looking at. Godliness Godliness shall not be an addition to my life, but it shall be my life itself. C. H. Spurgeon.

Many times since entering the profession of Beauty Culture, I have heard these expressions: 'What will I do for my hair? It is dry. It is falling, or it is tiring grey. My face is oily, and covered with plimsolls or blackheads. My eyes are sunken and grow smaller each day. My hands are hardened and my nails are not shaped. Where can I find a remedy? The answer is this: The Lady Beautiful column has been added to this paper to render service to its readers. If you have purging conditions concerning 'your hair, face, hands or skin, you will help you remedy them. Your skin is troubled with such perplexed feelings, you need with their beauty popularity and general disposition. If this is your plight, this column welcomes you to bring your troubles before its editor. Her authority is unquestioned by those who lead in the profession as Beauty Culturers. To look your best does not refer to Marcel浪, facial massage or manlure alone, but to every point of a woman's anatomy that it may be possible for her to improve. If you have taken time to think carefully, you know that in order to be beautiful you have to be both mind and soul (your true character) and beauty of physics, which of necessity, follows. Beauty of Soul. Cheerfulness and bright smile; for nothing registers more quickly and gives a beautiful woman an old look earlier than worry and non-content. Beauty of Skin. The body must kept clean and the dirt that clogs the pores, removed, washed, skin cleaned and be made beautiful. A daily warm, bath upon arising, fillets with salt and vigor. Beauty of Eyes. "Eyes the windows of the soul." No face is attractive where the eyes are dull and lusterless. A few drops boracic acid used after your bath, in an eye cup, always renders, even a plain face, attractive. At the close of a busy day.

Address all communications to George Wells Parker, the Associated Negro Parker, the Associated Negro Parker, the 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois Copyright, 1925, by Associated Negro Press. F. O. C. of Philadelphia takes excepcion to what the author of this column had to say concerning Abraham and cites the genealogy of Genesius in reply. If he will consult Cheyne's Encyclopedia Biblion he will secure a great deal of information on the subject. The Bible cannot be accepted as a final authority in matters of ethology and race rejoices that Abraham was the common father of many Asiatic as well as African peoples and came from a Cushite country. Ur of the Chaldees. All legends, facts and myths concerning Abraham can make him nothing else but black. Was John James Audubon, the famous American ornithologist, an American or Creole?—G. C. L., Moline, Ill. Audubon was a Creole, the son of a French ship master and a native Wichita man. Are the archeological finds now being made on the site of ancient Carthage those of an African people?—H. K. T., Louisville, Ky. Yes. The Carthaginians: were a mixture and very largely African. In the American sense they were very Negroid. The original founders came from Phoenicia, another dark country. Carthage has always been very noted, not only for an ancient city, but also as the seat of a great religious controversy during the founding and establishment of Christianity. Is Christianity or Mohammedism in the ascendancy in Africa?—D. C. P. Denver, Colorado. Mohammedism is in the ascendancy and is gaining more converts than Christianity. Mohammedism is more truly a black man's religion and appeals more strongly to the natives because it teaches and practices the absolute equality of all Moslems. Where does J. Rosamond Johnson, the composer live?—H. G., St. Louis, Mo. New York City, N. Y. When is Monsieur Diagne, the delegate from Senegal, coming to the United States?

LABOR NOTES While the opening of the building season has started a demand for men skilled in building trades, the position of common labor is pretty much the same. Steel business has dropped and companies are working around 85 per cent capacity. More than 8,900 men lost their employment in Illinois alone during March, and this fact is rather indicative of the general depression which still exists throughout the north. There is little prospect of the steel industry picking up much the first half, in spite of the glowing predictions of Gary, Schwab and other big steel magnates. Orders must come in to mean business and orders are being in. Railroads are holding up somewhat upon new work. The packing houses are running short time. General factory work is slow because they are overstocked and goods are not moving. One of the most significant signs of conditions is that practically no demands of unions throughout the country for higher wages have been met. Nearly all are proceeding on the same scale as in 1924. So be careful where you go. If you have nothing for work. Know what you are going to have a job in sight when you start your job in labor. Labor conditions have begun to show a gradual improvement throughout the country, but a real demand for labor is rather spaty. It will be a month or six weeks, before things pick up sufficiently to encourage further migration. The government reports that farm labor is growing in demand in several sections of the country with the promise of a great demand for this summer and fall. The promise is still in a slump and will not likely reach much progress this spring and summer. Packing houses are taking on a few men as is usual in the spring and increasing capacity somewhat. The larger cities are to be avoided as they are filled with a surplus of common and semi-skilled labor. Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and Detroit are cities where it is best to keep away from for the present. Also Cleveland, Ohio. Building trades are showing a great pick-up, naturally, and most of the larger cities are having a brisk demand for building tradesmen. However, get information first and be sure before you leave that there is a demand where you wish to go. BETTER RECREATION OR MORE CRIME? BY EUSTAGE GRY For The Associated Negro Press. Three billion dollars-America's yearly crime bill, according to the National Surety Company. Fifteen million dollars-America's yearly expenditure for community recreation. A large percentage of America's yearly crime bill is expended on its Negro citizens; in fact, too much of it, in proportion to our percentage of the country's total population. The annually large percentage of Negro people can trace among other things, to the track of factitious and activities that offer opportunity for wholesome character-building recreation. The recreation centers and playgrounds under leadership pay large dividends because, as character-building forces, they act as a deterrent to delinquency and crime, is the practically unimaginable testimony of probation, juvenile court and prison officials. The judgment of expert enced social, charch, charity and health agencies agrees with this conclusion. A Commissioner of Police in one of our largest cities gives the departments that function to reduce ground and enced social department as an educational and proactive police. The police department comes second, our courts-third." The Commission on Race Relations" in Chicago laid much stress on the necessity for the colored cities of Chicago to have access to the parks and playgrounds. "Morally, the strategic hours of all people, especially in youth, are the hours of leisure, the hours when we seek an outlet for our natural play instincts. The hours ofisure are the hours of peculiar danger. It is safe to say that not a single community in America is prepared to entertain the needs of its young people adequately," says Franklin D. Nichols of the Association for Developing proper recreation for young hours, you build up an individual character, and such activities among our group will find a real want. Any program looking forward to the betterment of, these conditions, however, will necessarily be delayed in its ultimate accomplishment unless qualified, trained leadership can be secured. The training of colored leaders in this field is of the first importance. In order to help out in making good the deficiency in trained colored recreational leaders, Community Service, maintained by the Playground and Recreation Association of America, through(the Bureau of which Ernest T. Atwell is Director, plans to conduct a short course in community recreation at Chicago, Illinois, for three weeks, beginning June 29. next. No tuition or charges of any kind for the course is made. These desirous of attending college have to be written in Community Service, 501 South 16th St Philadelphia, for formal registration and other information.
