PRESIDENT YOUNG HAS NO
ILL WILL TOWARD ANYONE
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 10—At a meeting of the Board of Curators of Lincoln University here last night, Dr. N. B. Young, the present incumbent, was re-elected president for another year.
The election of a president for Lincoln had been delayed for some time owing to a deadlock in the board caused by a fight on President Young which, at times, threatened to destroy the institution. The trouble began when it was found that Mr. Young had told him to put the school actually on an accredited basis. This of course, called for a re-organization and the selection of men and women of higher training to help put over the program.
The natural reaction was: Some of the teachers, and some of those holding minor positions, knew that if President Young cared out his program, they could not hold their offices because of the non-preparedness for the bigger things. So, they began a propaganda to keep the school down to their level that their jobs might be secure. They would not admit this, but would say that the president was trying to do too much, and that the Negroes of the state did not need an institution of higher learning the kind that the president was trying to build. This latter statement found fruitful ground in the office of the present governor who took office early this year. As soon as he became noised abroad that the governor was opposed to the educational program for the Negro youth of the state, the political wire-pullers got busy. The field soon became full of candidates; each one's stock in trade was "I know the kind of education the Negro needs." Others who made no open fighth for the place merely stood in line, watched developments, throwing in a word at every possible point where it would keep up the fight, waiting, perchance, that incase of a deadlock, their names would be presented as a dark horse who would gallop away with the honors.
Young an Educator
During all the propaganda, no one accused Young openly of being in capable or immoral. They all admit that he had the program that, would make a real university in fact as well as in name, but some would say that he was ten years ahead of the time.
The official call for the meeting Tuesday was designated for 2:00 p.m. but after it was found that Superintendent Lee could not be present at that hour, the meeting was postponed until 7:30 p.m. in the president's office at the university. It was about 9:00 o'clock when C. G. Williams came out of the meeting and invited President Young into the meeting, and another time extented "congratulations" upon the president's reelection.
When the members of the board emerged from their meeting place, they were reluctant about discussing what went on in the meeting except to say that Young had been reelected. The editor of the Argus pressed Mr. James, the chairman of the board for a statement, but all he would say was: "I am a better friend to the colored people than they think I am. If the school is not an accredited college within two years I will resign." When asked further about President Young's election, he stated, "It was all right with me." In the board meeting, it was learned that the vote stood four to three in favor of President Young. Mr. Kirshner of Kansas City made the motion which was seconded by Dr. Perry. A subtitle state was offered by Mr. Scruggs to temporarily elect W. B. Jason. The substitute was lost three to four. Scruggs being called from the meeting at this moment, the original motion to elect Mr. Young, was put and carried four to two. It is understood that Mr. Kirshner and Dr. Perry of Kansas City, Mr. Malone of St. Louis, and Superintendent Lee of Jefferson City, voted for Mr. Young. G. Williams of Jefferson City, and S. W. James of Sedalia voted against him. Mr. Scruggs being asked when the final vote was taken. No effort was made to make the vote unanimous. Will Be Sought
Harmony will be subject.
According to a statement coming from some of the members of the board may possible effort will be made to work in harmony for the good if the school, yet there are those who have some misgivings as to the future workings of the board, cliting as their reasons the appointment of the committees.
It is quit noticeable that Chairman James, in appointing the committees, used a deal of partiality in that he appointed himself chairman of the Teachers Committee, with C. G. Will

WINS SPECIALIST DEGREE
NEW YORK, June 8—When the Veterans Bureau at Washington asked some of the leading eye, ear, nose and throat hospitals in the country to admit Dr. Seh E.

Spending two years there, he concluded to acquire more technical training, and after numerous tardiness on account of his color was admitted to the New York Optimal-Hospital Hospital, Mrs. Marguerite Douglas Pack was present when her husband was awarded his degree. They will make St. Louis their home.

ROSENWALD SEES GOOD IN NEGRO MOVING NORTH
Noted Philanthropist Says Migration Of Race From South Has Greatly Benefitted Nation.
CHICAGO, IL. JUN. 8 — Migration of the Negro to the north which has given rise to social problems now considered grave, will be an eventual benefit to the nation, in the opinion of Julius Rosenwald, the capitalist. "It will be a good thing for the south," he adds, "because the colored population will be more evenly distributed over the entire country and will lessen the southern fear, real or alleged, of race domination, thus removing an outstanding obstacle that has hampered that section's development."
Mr. Rosenwald's prediction, part of a statement released by the Hampton Tuskegee Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., possessesimply inter-act by reason of his gift of $250,000 in the institute's $5,000,000 endowment fund campaign, recently announced.
How Problem Spread
"The called Negro problem was confused largely with the south before the world." Mr. Rosenwald says. Now it is a national problem. Before 1914 the Negro usually was an agricultural worker. Today he is a big factor in America's industrial life.
"The war virtually put a stop to foreign immigration to the United States. Hundreds of thousands of Europeans living in this country were called to the colors. Under the stimulus of war conditions industries in the north expanded greatly.
"These three factors caused a labor shortage that forced the northern industrialists to seize the country for available workers. The greatest supply of such labor was found among the Negroes of the south, and this was drawn on to a great extent.
Migration Still On
"The result was the beginning of the largest migration of Negroes in the history of America, and one that is still in progress.
"The migration has been marked by two phases, that of 1910-1920 and that commencing anew in 1922. The first really began in 1915, reached its maximum in 1917, and continued at a slower pace up to 1920, when the economic depression brought it to a halt.
"The revival of business prosperity in 1922 brought on a new exodus from the south. Thousands of Negroes who had remained north during the period of depression wrote to their friends and relatives, urging them to come CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE

OMAHA, Neh., June 3.—The cool nerve of Dan Destines and the members of his jazz band probably averted the serious injury of scores of persons attending the sweets store here, last week. Now a hidden formation behind the race tracks, and attached down on the grandstand, where thousands of spectators were gathered, the colored band stuck to its post and continued to play, even the debris was flying everywhere. This act, and the consoling power of music had its effect upon the crowd. Instead of making a mad rush for the exits, the throng hurried out behind the stands in an orderly fashion. "You men were soldiers to the last," declared Major General Duncan in speaking of the courage the colored bandmen had shown. Several of the bandmen were treated for minor injuries following the stormy. Damage to the stable and groundstand of the track was estimated at $3,000.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10- Within three weeks of a general student walk out at Howard University, an investigation of the condition of the school has been made, reported to the board of trustees, and resulted in a radical revision of its organization and administration.

Drastic Steps Taken Drastic steps were taken when an expert investigator from Columbia University reported defects in the school's system and weaknesses in certain of its departments. One of the most significant changes was the desactivation of the college which was reported overlapping the senior division. Dean Kelly Miller not only lost his office as head of the lower college as a result, but he was automatically dropped as head of the sociological department, through the appointment of a new professor of sociology. A petition has already been forwarded to the board by members of the alumni asking the restatement of the noted sociologist, lecturer and writer.

Sinclair of Philadelphia, and Thomas of Alabama, were dropped before their terms expired, and four new persons, C. H. Pope, Doctor C. S. Wormley, V. Dyler and J. H. Hawkins, were placed on the board. All the men who received places on the board were declared to have been named by Pres. Durkee, which looked like a clear case of dictatorship. The alumni has already requested his resignation.
Oust Elderly Professors
A resolution drawn up by the board during its clean-up, set sixty-five as the age limit of the holding of professorships, directed of the men who have lured prominently in Howard's progress will lose their offices as a result.
Other Changes
A change in the school of music places Sergt. Dorssey Rhodes in the leadership, and made Miss Lula V. Childers and Roy Wilfred Tibbs, who had long been leaders, his subordinates.
Three instructors, Alfonzo Brown, M. T. Lochard and Alain Locke, were expected to be suspended for showing leniency toward the strikers in the recent Howard uprising.

JUNIOR IDEAS
Edited By LORETTA E. OWENS
EDITOR'S NOTES
HAVE YOU A PURPOSE?
Have you a purpose of your own?
Are you anticipating to improve some of your activities? Is it true that you are-making yourself proficient in any type of work? Have you some ideas which you are trying to express? Have you a goal whose zenith is high or than you can conveniently reach? Are you thinking of what you may be doing a few years from now? Are you looking steadfastly in any direction with a full determination of traveling in it? In short, have you a purpose of your own?
The affairs of a man's life depends largely on how he answers these questions. Many persons can answer all of them in the affirmative, while others may not. Even one of them without stopping to take stock of their thoughts and to see if they really have a purpose. Most people are content to spend their lives carrying out the purpose of others. They work only for the pay-and care more for the pay than for the purpose.
If you are of that type—working for pay rather than a purpose—why not look the matter squarely in the face? Have you 'a' purpose of your own? You can still serve another 'a' purpose—can serve it even 'potter', you can still have the pay and yet be working out your own purpose. All good purposes tend in the same direction and can go hand in hand. Make one of your purposes to be a 100% Kewple.
IN EVERYONE
There is a bright spark in everyone,
Though it shines not like the sun;
There is pain and sympathy in every
one.
Yet each sings not the same song.
Ω.
There is anguish in every heart,
There's a wish to take another's
part;
There is God's good in every man,
But selfish creeds seem to com-
mand.
III.
There are mansions bright and hovels dim.
There God's pure light and the devil's sin;
There is this and that in every land.
There are problems few can understand.
IV.
There are sunshine and clouds very dark,
There's love, there's hatred in life,
so mark;
There're tears, there's laughter,
there're smiles and frowns,
Up with the sun and down when
the sun goes down.

Hello, Mabel.
Hello, Auntie.
Asc, so utter busy, Mabel?
Yes, indeed, Auntie. You know this is the week of Commencement and I have a deal to do preparatory to my graduation.
Are the classes very large, this year, Mabel?
necessity for knowledge is to be pitted. If the opportunity passes in youth, it rarely ever comes in maturity and if it does, the one to whom it comes is not able to grasp as easily in maturity as in youth.
Auntie, we have heard these words in the class room, time and time again, but some have not profited by
Yes. Auntie, but not as large as they should be, in any of the schools. Why is this, Mabel? It is due to the fact, auntie, that a very large number fall out before the end of the course. The classes that begin are usually very large, but only a small per cent continue to the end. There have been numerous complaints from the teachers, of the large per cent of children, who leave school in the grades.
I regret very much to hear this, Mabel, but as I have said a number of times before, the parents are to blame. There is no doubt about it, the regret will come when it is too late. Some parents say, "I got along without it, and so can my children." Yes, they got along, but how? It is a poor father and mother who don't understand conditions for their children to be healthy. As time goes on, it will be impossible to montage. There will be a great demand for those who know, and the boy or girl, who sits idly by and pennits his opportunity for an education to slip, by, will be forced to get out of the way for those who are prepared The boy or girl who doesn't see the

STEAMER SAINT PAUL MUSIC
Fate Murable and his New Orleans Harveys Kings are playing for the Monarch must escort on the Steamer Saint Paul. This wonderful eleven piece orchestra was the talk of New Orleans during the past winter and are first becoming the favorites in St. Louis. Their playing of the popular pieces is so different from most orchestras, and yet so insistent and sweet, but also more raw and at the key of the rowdy grand piano, which is some thing now and is the first time that two planes have ever been used by any dance orchestra. The annual moonlight excursion of the Medinah Temple Shriners will take place, this coming Monday evening and they will invite the public to join them on this trip and listen to this wonderful orchestra. If you don't care to dance there are many comfortable chairs that can be placed where the breezes blow and where one can rest and enjoy the music to the utmost, coming back from the evenings is achieved and ready for the next week.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES

necessity for knowledge is to be pitted. If the opportunity passes in youth, it rarely ever comes in maturity and If it does, the one to whom it comes is not able to grasp as easily in maturity as in youth.
Auntie, we have heard these words in the class room, time and time again, but some have not profited by them.
Now, that you are coming out of High School, what are your plans for the future, Mabel?
Why auntie, I am going to pursue my education. I am planning to enter Howard University.
That will be fine, Mabel. I trust your education will prepare you for real service in life. I trust you will be of the kind, that will make you anxious to help those who have been less fortunate. Offenses our education makes us small and narrow. I trust yours, that make you big and hard to resist it for yourself alone, for then it is not worth having. J. Milton Turner is great today because he served his fellowman. He lived not unto himself, but for the others and as Edgar A. Guest has so beautifully said: "If those who know you best have seen In you, some strength on which to beam; Though arm behind the great you've cruiled. You will not say that you have failed." Goodbye, Mabel.

ORPHANS' HOME BENEFITS
Since the annual Orphans' Home May Day, two benefit performances, Ballets by the pupils of the Cheota M. M. Spots' School of Ballet Dancing and a Pagetan of the Negro by the employees of Poro College, have been given in the auditorium of Poro. That the interest of the public in worthwhile entertainments is still high was clearly evidenced by the appreciative audiences at both of these delightful affairs, the latter of which was instructive in race history. With expenses deducted, but an incomplete-ticket report in both instances, the Ballets netted $59.25 and the Pagetan netted $262.78, making a total of $222.03. The winner of the first prize, a beautiful patent leather hat box, for selling the highest amount of Pagetan tickets was Miss Blanche Smith who turned in $112.50, the second prize, $2.50 in gold, went to Mrs. Lucille Cook Brown who reported $88.00. Mrs. Margaret Jones of Po College, who directed the Pagetan awarded the prizes, Mays Day, Celebration.
(Net receipts) ..... $1420.57
Ballets ..... 59.25
Pageant ..... 262.78
Total net receipts to date ..... $1712.60
Any boy no matter what his lying up, who doesn't like to hurt your feelings, has in him the essentials of a gentleman.
Think of several things you'd better not say today instead of several things you will say.
It may be true that one who is shocked at profanity will prevaricate without compunction.
No one can satisfactorily denounce anyone else, unless he temporarily forgets his own worst shortcomings.

CLARA SMITH AND A NIFTY VAUDEVILLE BILL AT B. W.
Clara Smith, the bundle of pep, Columbia record star, who is the feature attraction at the Booker Washington Theatre this week, maintains her reputation as a favorite here. Clara seems to enjoy singing to B. W. patrons and they reciprocate by applauding her generously. She is accompanied by a male pianist and presents the following song selections: "Prescription Blues," "Sold My Soul to the Devil," "I Never Miss the Sunshine," and "Keep Your Home Fire Burning." All numbers go over big.
Venable and Wright are the curtain raisers. Miss Venable is one of the most earnest and best entertainers on the stage. Her singing and dancing, this week score applause. Mr. Wright is a good buck dancer with quick action. They sandwich some good comedy in their work and are singing "Rock-a-bye Baby Days." "At the End of the Road" and close with "Eliza" and a medley of dances including a sensational "Charleston" that calls for an encore.
Sledge and Sledge are black-face artists. This is a male and female team. They use quite a bit of humorous conversation, with songs and eccentric dances, including acrobatic stunts by the male members. They have a jazz finale with piano and drums, which is a big scream and delays the curtain.
Strong and Strong, another mixed team, open with soft shoe, dance, singing "Carolina Mammy." Their comedy, talk is original and a big laugh producer. The woman sings, "You Don't Know My Mind," and the man has extemporaneous song verses about personalities, selected from the audience. Both go over big. They close with "When Melons Are Ripe in Dixie" doing a lively dance.
WHITMAN SISTERS AND THEIR
GANG COMING TO THE BOOKER
WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK
The Whitman 'Sisters and "Their Gang' will be the attraction for one week at the Booker Washington beginning Monday. These versatile players are said to have the biggest and best company, they have ever piloted. They are making a screaming hit wherever they appear. They have added a number of new players and their chorus is the real hot stuff. In the big company are Essie, Bert and Alice Whitman, Marshal Rodgers, Sam Jackson, Willie Adams, little Albert; Baby Ernestine (another), Jimmie, Rodgers, Mattie Dorsey and others. There is no question about the type of performance they give. It always includes the very latest in songs and dances put over with an art combination that is rare in such companies.
Ed Lee Coleman, the "Fiddling Sheik," is in town this week forming a small orchestra to play an indefinite engagement in an Eastern city. Coleman says he will accept one or two good propositions, and in the near future will be "spilling a horse tail across a set of kitten intestines." He would be pleased to hear from all friends in and out of the profes- sion. Mail will reach him at $114 Market St. (Rear) or phone Olive 5638-8.
THE STAR
Marjorie Daw and Clive Brooks are the leading stars in "Love's Bargain," the Star Theatre feature this Saturday. The life of an actress, in and out of the theatre, is an interesting phase of the story, while tenure drama results from the manipulations of a clever unscrupulous woman to win back the love of a man she has lost.
"The Truth About Women" will be the Sunday special. "It deals with the complicated heart affairs of two women and two men, with one woman, in particular the bright, outstanding heroine. This woman, at first apparently happily married and the mother of a beautiful little girl, finds her domestic dream shattered when another woman attracts her husband. Hope Hampton, Lowell Sherman, Mary Thurman and David Powell are the leading stars.
"The Shadow Ranger," an Art. Mix production, will be shown on Monday. Jack Perrin will be seen in "Ridin' West," on Tuesday; and Douglas MacLean in "Introduce Me," on Wednesday.
Alice Joyce and Percy Marmont are the stars in "Daddy's Gone A Hunting," the attraction next Thursday and Friday. It is a screen version of the famous play by Zoe Akins. The story tells of an artist's search for freedom and happiness, and has been brought to the screen with a combination of the drab life of New York's cheap Harlem flats and the brilliant picturesque luxury of Fifth Avenue and Paris. Color is furnished by the lavish luxury and daring of the Folies Bergères in Paris, in which hundreds of beautiful dancers appear.
THE JESTAMERE
"One Year to Live" will be repeated, by request, at the Jestamere Theatre this Saturday.
The attraction for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be "The Dixie Handicap." This picture, a screen version of Gerald Baumert's Story of Southern romance and race tracks, is one of the most thrilling films seen in a long time. It tells how a young man, ricked up on the verge of imprisonment, and the colt he has developed, brings the old judge back to the affluence and position that were once his. The romance is centered on the love of the youth for the Judge's daughter. For excitement, there are a number of horse races, some being at county fairs. The cast includes Frank Keenan, Claire, Windsor, Lloyd Hughes, John Salnopolis, Otis Harlan and many others.
Kathlyn Williams and Tyrone Power will be, seen in "The Unmarried Mother," on Wednesday. It is the story of an unwed wife in the slums of New York City. "Chu Chin Chow" will be presented next Thursday and Friday. This is a lavish Arabian night film with

Changing fortunes put Napoleon at the head of the French nation. Sane Gene, now married to Lefebvre is a Duchess in Napoleon's court. But she is still Madame Sans Gene (Madame Devil May Care). She simply cannot be dignified. Dancing, clowning, mimicking the society swells, she is a dancer in the dazzling palace. Hw she falls a plot against the emperor, how she prevents the Empress Louise from running away with her young lover and casting a scandal upon Napoleon are but samples of the thrilling and amusing episodes that make up the scenes that follow.

Irene Scruggs, St. Louis' champion Blues Singer, will be the feature attraction at the Roosevelt Theatre on Sunday and Monday. With this Okeh record artist will be Cranston Hamilton at the piano; Billy McOwens and others in a good show with songs, dances and novels. The feature picture will be Norma Shearer in "Lady of the Night." It is a story of American life in New York where the society and criminal world rub elbows; it is a story of the love of a society girl pitted against the love of the elemental woman who fights for "her man." And Norma Shearer, playing the dual role of Molly, daughter of a convict, and Florence, daughter of the Judge who sent her father to prison, is said to give one of the finest performances of her career.
"The Mad Whirl" will be presented on Thursday. The story told by the picture is that of the hectic soaking for new sensations indulged in by a family of wealth and idleness, father, mother, son and daughter and their many friends. The parents believe they can safeguard their children by joining them, in their pleasures, and as a result indulge in greater excesses than do the young folk. May McAvoy is the star. There will also be amateur vaudeville acts. Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in the great magic sensation "The Thief of Bagdad."

Will Harry Wills Get a Chance At Crown?
In less than two weeks, Harry Wills, the Bronze Panther, and Charlie Walnert will meet in a bout of significant bearing upon the heavy-weight situation recently tangled by the unexpected K. O of Tommy Gibbons by Gene Tunney.
Wills, of course, is slated to win in a walk. Harry, as usual, is training with extreme care for the battle.
Following the upset of last Friday night, the former stevedore has a much more definite plan of action set out in case he wins.
Already white dailies and scribes are raising the usual ballyhoo about a title match between Dempsey and the most recent pugilist to usurp the pugilistic limelim. They are strongly contending that Tunney, is right to meet Dempsey, and if they could have their way, would smoke up the battle as another one of those "fights of the century."
Meanwhile they continue to deliberately ignore Wills. The proper thing, as everyone knows, would be to match Wills and Tunney. Tunney has entered the ranks of the legitimate heavyweights. But do white scribes and many white readers look at it in that light? Ah no! No Wills Tunney match for them. Wills may get his chance, sometime. But we doubt it.

sey. None of them were financial successes, outstanding financial successes at least, but the spirit was there.
In his year, two races have already been held. One in Louisville, Ky., in which Malcolm Hannon, winner of the Indianapolis Derby last year in his Barber-Warnock Ford Special, won the race. Bill Wallace of Indianapolis won the Chicago, Colored Race Drivers' Association, held in Chicago last week.
Other races are due to be held this summer. What with our colored world series, or national events play such a big part, they have inked on national tone, we are moving along with the times, in sports, at least.
Baseball Situation
Kansas City Monarchs in the West and Hildaels in the East, winners in their respective leagues last season, are out in first place again. Kansas City by virtue of a clean sweep over Rubo Foster and his American Giants are resting comfortably in first place; over 100 points over St. Louis, in second place. Disunkens and his impala team are in third place, and sequents of what is said, the veteran has his Red Sox hustling. Then in order come the Cubans in fourth place, Detroit and Indianapolis, tied for fifth, the American Giants in seventh and the Birmingham club in the cellar. In the East, Hildaels are not finding the going so easy. True, they are in first place, but are meeting with opposition a plenty. Oscar Charleston and his Harrisburg Giants are crowding the Darby clan for first place, the lowest center in the league, leading with his wonderful work afield, and the merry tune of his hat, has a hustling fast-stepping aggregation, and is at present just one game behind the leaders.
Close on the heels of the Glants come Baltimore, the crew managed by Beckwith. Then come the others fighting like demons.
Is Dempsey Champion?
When asked what he thought of the possibilities in a Dempsey-Wills Castle, Ross Rose, a Castle, Pa, said: "This is what I think, I am not colored but in the last eighteen years I have followed the fight game. I do not consider a fighter a champion who bars the Negroes. All of our late fighters have beat them and I believe the same can be done at the present time. They are as human as any white man, I believe. So I do not think any champion is the world champion the bars are only a white champion of the world."

force, are primarily linked with industry in the north, and with agriculture in the south.
"The present selective immigration law was passed by a Republican administration and probably will remain in force for another four years. Even should the law be repealed, thousands of Negroes have acquired skill in mechanical occupations that puts them beyond the likelihood of replacement by foreign labor. In short northern industrialists have come to look to the Negro for the labor supply in their factory workshops, for the teachers of tasks and women who have had training at Hampton and Tuskegee are well fitted."
Choose Workers With Care
"These industrialists are now carefully selecting their Negro workers. Some have made special efforts to employ only married men, and then to provide such housing and working conditions as will keep them satisfied. One large iron foundry, which pursued this policy reported that the turnover among its Negro workers was only 10 per cent."
"Apparently the settling of the Nengro in the north is permanent. Many of the factors that brought him north operate to keep him there.
"There is good ground for believing that the migration of the Negro will share a beneficial effect on the nation.
"One of the most hopeful signs for the future of the Negro in the north is that the opportunities there are attracting young colored men and women trained in such schools as Hampton and Tuskegee. These two schools, and others of their type, not only give a thorough training in mechanical occupations, but their whole system of education tends to turn out young men and women who will be community teachers and leaders.
"Those trained in what has become known as the 'Hampton-Tuskegee' method strive to bring about cooperation between the white and colored races and to reduce interracial friction. Leaders of this type are bound to have a salutary influence on the Negro communities everywhere."

these committees, C. G. Williams is on both, and is also secretary of the Board of Curators. It is also noticeable that Mr. Kirkshner, the former president of the board, who has rendered very valuable service to the school, was entirely ignored in the appointment of committees, as well as Dr. J. E. Perry and A. E. Malone. The latter is a new member of the board...
C. G. Williams is the one colored member of the board who voted against maintaining the present high standard of the school. Thousands of students were the governor and member of the Board of Curators, deploring any act that would hurt the school. The presumption is that most of these petitions were in the hands of C. G. Williams as secretary of the board, but none of them were presented or read before the board in session.
Some of the members of the board expressed the thought that these petitions should have been the property and business of the board, but they were not presented. It is said that over a thousand letters, petitions, etc. were sent in behalf of the school. The writer has personal knowledge of the school and its teachers: The St. Louis Alumni teaching of Summer High. St. Louis; W. W. Yates School, at Kansas City, Mo.; State Teachers Association; State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; the Kansas City Parents-Teachers Association; the N. A. A. C. P. branch of Kansas City; the N. A. A. C. P. of St. Louis; Lincoln University Club of Detroit, Mich.; St. Louis City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; Central Baptist Church of St. Louis, and many other churches, schools and organizations.
Dr. J. E. Perry, a member of the board said. "I feel that the position I take is in harmony with the wishes and aspirations of my people whom I am here to represent." Prorf. A. E. Malone said: "I could not betray the trust of my people in an hour like this, knowing, as I do, what they want in the way of a school of higher learning for their children. I feel the responsibility I owe them very keenly and am happy to be in a position to serve them."
President Young said: "I feel greatly relieved. I shall do all in my power to justify the confidence that my friends had in me. I have no ill will." The action on the part of the board Tuesday night, brought great relief to the teachers, parents, and people who have the interest of the school at heart.

CUBAN STARS OPENING GAME HERE SATURDAY
Islanders, Members Of Nat'l League, Will Play Five Games With The St. Louis Stars. Is. A Dangerous Rival For Any Club
Manager Jim Taylor's Heavy Stickers Will Be Forced To The Limit To Take Series; Ladies Will Be Admitted Free Tuesday.
The Cuban Stars are here for a series of five games with the St. Louis Stars at Stars' park beginning with this Saturday. The last game will be play Wednesday, and if there should be a postponed contest, a doubleheader will be played, that day starting at 1:30. Otherwise, all games will be called for a 3-1 check.
The Citizens are the members of the National Negro League, and not only a first division contender, but are one of the hardest clubs in the league to capture a series from. They are crafty ball players, who study the inside points of the game, and there is never a minute of play in which they are not dangerous. Unless the Indiana Pacers A, B, C, take a bracer in Kansas City, the Monarchs will have easy-sailing in their series with the Huskies, beginning Saturday. This means then Jimmy Taylor's boys here will be pushed to the limit to maintain their close proximity to the league champions who are enjoying the rare air on top of the ladder. The wonderful hitting ability of the St. Louis club may serve to do the unusual thirtime, take at least four of the five games from the boys across the pond. However, it will be no easy affair. They'll have to hustle from 3 clock Saturday, to 5 clock Wednesday, and the fans are going to see some real excitement.
Chicago Amer. Giants Get Three Of Four From Memphis
CHICAGO, June 10. The American Giants won three out of four games from the Memphis Red Sox, Saturday and Sunday, well爽 for the Giants, who won, 10 to 3 and 10 to 6. Memphis did the score 7 to 7, the ninth inning on Monday, and the two teams stayed dunked until the 12th. In this frame the visitors made 10 runs on doubles by Hamilton, C. Williams, Miller and two by Ward, Wesley and Russell got triples. Bobby Williams contributed an error all with two bats on balls and a single by Jackson served to put over the 10. Chicago succeeded in putting over 2 in the same frame, the game ending 17:9.
Both teams played like champions on Tuesday. Not a run was made until the seventh when the Giants gathered all their runs, 5. The Giants pitched the bases and on spike plays, Miller's error and a single by Torreault, followed by two outs, a base on balls to Bobby Williams and Warres' infield hit. Memphis put over one run in the ability, out one in the ninth.

NEW TRACK MARVEL IS DISCOVERED IN A BOY FROM THE WEST
High School Star Is Accredited With Running 50 Yards Dash In 5:14. Also Equials High School Record In 100 Yd, Dash
CHICAGO, Ill. June 10 Wesley Foster, one of the two boys sent here from Wenatchee, Washington, to enter the national high school track and field meet held under the auspices of the University of Chicago, proved the sensation of the day when the colored flash swept to the fore in the trial heat of the hundred yard dash in nine and four-fifth seconds, equaling the world's high record and coming back a few minutes later in the final of this event and doing it in the same time winning by two full yards. Foster took the lead at the crack of the gun and held it. The consensus of opinion of those in the press stand was that this lad has shown the best form of any high school lad ever appearing in any track meet in the history of the games here.
Shaw, *Tepresenting Winkfield*, Kansas, another colored lad, although showing fine form, finished fifth. In the Washington State Inter-scholastic meet recently, Foster ran the 58-yard dash in 5-10-1, knocking three tenths of the inter-scholastic record made by him, subs of St. Louis in 1904. He is said to have run the 50-yard dash in '05 1-10 in practice, which would better the world record by a tenth of a second. He is also a star in the 220.
Stars Make 15 Home Runs Beat A. B. C's. 5 Straight

The Stars took the third game on Monday by a 15 to 5 score. On Tuesday the Stars went over 10 to 4, and captured the final game by a 5 to 4 score on Wednesday.

Saturday's Game
The St. Louis Stars defeated the ihradapoliss A. B. C. 12 to 3 in the opening game of the season on Saturday afternoon, before a week day crowd. Roosevelt Davis, the ace of the Stars' staff, and the only pitcher who has been able to finish a game he has started, came through with flying colors. He be held down from the Roosevelt Davis to seventh and three runs, the trio of games in the seventh and had made the final outcome of the game had plied up a large total early in the game. Davis had one hit and inning, the seventh, when he was touched for four hits, one of these a home run by Robinson with two runners on the pitches, to score three runs. That was all the scoring done by the clubs during the contest. Davis had his drop and fast ball working to perfection and those foulers are on the job hits are hard to make. The Stars found Stephen and Rex, the A. B. C. less puzzled and hammered the four for fifteen hits. Willie Wells, who has been dubbed the Homs Wagner of the Negro National League by a close fellow of the game, led the attack with two home runs and a pair of singles in five trips to the plate. Bobo ran him a close second when he banged out a homer, two triples and a single in five appearances. The Stars scored four runs in both the first and second innings due to some timely hitting. Three solid smashes, a walk and a hit batter were responsible for the four runs scored in the first innning. A triple, two home runs and an infield error counted the four made in the second round. Wells second home run of the game, his first circuit wallowing in the second innning, was the cause of the Stars soiling their run in the fourth innning. The other Stars runs came in the seventh, seventh and eighth innings one to each Cause.

Sunday's Game
The Stars took Sunday's game from the Indianaapolis. A. B. Cs. by a 17 to 7 score. "Big Boy" Rite pitched the A. B. Cs. and the Stars batted him to all corners of the lot. The big pitcher, who formerly twirled for the Chicago American Giants, had a splendid change of page and a good curve ball, but it seems the more stuff a pitcher possesses the harder" the Stinging Stars hammer his delivery. Miller and Meyers worked for the home team and both did well, although the visitors solved Miller's delivery in the fifth and forced him to retire, they were unable to overcome the Stars' lead at any stage of the game. Meyers, who has been regularly doing relief duty, finished the game and defended the home goal successfully. Although three more runs did trickle over the plate, these did not appear until after the contest was seized up. The Stars scored in the very first inning when they counted four very runs on three balls, and singles by Wells, Barnes and Redus. In the second Stars added two more on singles by Bell, Bobo and Creese. The visitors scored their first run in the fourth when Anderson batted off a home run. In the fifth the visitors drove Miller from the box and threatened to tie the score, but Meyers went in and out the rally short. Hill stirred the fireworks with a home run. Mealister singled and rode home with Stephenson when the latter put the ball on the car shed. Dixon walked and took third on Robinson's right field single. Dixon counted when Anderson perished on an inflicted out. Meyers then forced Dixon to roll to Wilson, for the third out. The Stars scored one in the fifth and salted the game away in the sixth when they scored seven runs on eight hits, including home runs by Elmer Wilson and Deacon Meyers.

MONDAY GAME
The Stars made it 14 straight on Monday by playing the game by a 15 to 5 score. Ross and Broyles pitched to the pitching for the local team and turned in a near job, holding the A. B. C's to eight hits. Ross pitched seven innings and retired in the eighth to allow Eddie Watts to bat for him. Broyles pitched the ninth and ninth innings and allowed one hit. The visitors employed three hurlers and only one of the three could withstand the terrific batting of the Stars' array of fences, husters. Stephens, a tall young southward, had a hard time in the sixth inning and retired after he had been touched for six hits, three then bona fides to score ten runs. The Stars had six hits in the early part of the game and in the first five innings they gathered five runs on six hits of Pitcher Offert, who started the game for the visitors. Two of those came in the see and inning when Murray and Creeks
scored after she singled in succession. Russell set Murray over with a terrific fly, while Cressey slid into the plate on a fielder's choice and toppled the Tubby Dixon all over the catches' box. Russell kept up his pinch hitting in the fourth and scored three runs by sending Murray and Cressey over ahead of himself on a home run. A single, a walk, a double and a sacrifice fly gave the visitors two runs in the third hitting. They added another run for the sixth on a single, a steal of second and another one bass blow. In the third they played a sacrifice fly in a batting outfield which Wilson, Bell and Cressey connected for home runs. A walk and two singles along with a sacrifice fly netted the visitors two runs in the seventh and ended the scoring for the day. *Indianapolis.* 002 01 01 205 5 8 2

Tuesday's Game
The fourth straight victory was achieved on Tuesday before a large gathering of Indians, and the Stars, contrary to their usual habits, won the game 10 to 4. It was the first Tuesday game the boys have won since the opening series against the Black Barons of Birmingham. Henry started the game but did not stay long as he got rather careless in holding his position in the second finding, and after committing two unreusable errors he was pulled out in favor of Meyers, the relief ace. Meyers pitched good ball and held the opposition to three hits and a pair of runs. Henry was touched for a like amount of hits and runs in an inning and two twirds. Stephens started for the A. B. C's and pitched good ball for four hits, holding the Stars to three hits and one run, but was touched up for five hits and six runs in the fifth round, and Freeman again relieved him. Freeman was hammered in the seventh when the Stars scored three northeast runs, and the Stars won. Beyoung did the best boy, who joined the Indy pals team here to finish the game. Young pitched to five batters and allowed two hits and retired four of them on infield plays. Belt and Redus batted out home runs for the Stars. Belt made his circuit blow in the first inning, while Redus connected for his round trip wallow in the seventh with Russel on base. Barnes had a perfect day at bat when he connected for a double and two singles in three trips, after he relieved Murray in the fifth inning.

Wednesday's Game
Wednesday's Game
The Stars made it five straight games over the A. B. V.C. by taking the final game 5 to 4 on Wednesday. The final game proved to be the most thrilling of the series, and unfortunately witnessed by the smallest fowl of the season. Rile pitched for the visitors and hurried a fair game, but the Stars had little trouble scoring when runs were needed. Hensley pitched the entire game for the locals and although he was hard pressed in the eighth inning, he managed to come through the winner and added in the attack by batting out a home run in the third inning. Redus and Bolo also connected for the circuit. Bolo's round trip was the ninth slow and came in in the seventh on base and broke the deadlock existing at that time. Hensley was a no-hit pitcher for six innings, but was touched for three bluky hits in the eighth, and this with a on base on balls enabled the visitors to tie the score at three all. Only two solid hits were made by the visitors. Robinson's single in the seventh and Rile's double in the ninth. The Stars scored one run in the first inning on a single, an infield error and an outfield out. Hensley's home run accounted for the run in the third. In the seventh, Redus but out a homer for the third inning. Bobo's home run, with Bell on base, due to a two base hit, marked the two runs in the eighth.

McFarland, athletics' rookie, was too much for the Alton (Ill.) Bruks last Sunday and the St. Louis team won by a score of 3 to 1. McFarland was nicked for 3 hits. The Alton boys used several pitchers, but only one of them, Henderson, held a skill. Dammit, right fielder for the Athletics, featured in the game in the way he wickedly mauled out long drives. Warmack was monarch of all he surveyed behind the home plate.
Bennett/Owns Athletics
Sam Bennett is former manager of the St. Louis Stars and gives the information that has helped the St. Louis Baseball club. While they have only played two games this season they were victorious, and Bennett is of the opinion that future success will crown his efforts because of the class of players who compose his lineup.

Wilis, St. Louis Stars' seasonal short stop, is fast malling down the title of the "Best Short-Stop in the League." Wells goes after everything that starts north or northeast from the batters' quarters. His fielding of almost impossible chances and quick get away with the pit keep the fans screaming. He is just different as at the bat, and gets on as often as any of his timemates, frequently making the circuit.

High School Student Shatters Javil Throw
Charles Drew of Amherst College is one of the brilliant Negro track stars, who is to appear in the National College Athletic Association field and track meet at Stagg field in Chicago today and tomorrow, June 12 and 13.
Drew was recently elected captain of the 1925-26 Amherst varsity track squad. Last fall he missed being elected captain of the football team by one point. He is the first Negro to ever be elected to a captaincy at Amherst.
Drew will compete in the high hurdles at the N. C. A. A meet.
DeLafont Hubbard is another outstanding Negro participant in the big N. C. A. A at Chicago to-day and tomorrow. The great star will make a supreme effort to break the world's record 25-6 3-16 inches in the broad jump made by Bob LoGoudre at the Olympics last year, and also to break the world record of 9:3-5 in the 100 yard dash.
Hubbard stands a brilliant chance in both these events for he has jumped over 25 feet a distance that has been reached by only two humans before, eight times, and he has recently equaled the world's record of 3:3-5 in the hundred.
Smashing his own record of 25 ft. and 1 inch in the broad jump and coming within a hundredth of a second, equaling another, Dudley Hull's record of today took the honor of being highest point scorer in the 1925 outdoor track and field meet of the Western Conference at the U. of Ohio, in Columbus last week, and thus in his last great effort for Michigan, gave her the championship by making 10 of her 34½ points. Hubbard jumped 2 feet. 3½ inches and whirled through the hundred in 9 and 74-100.
Arthur Paris, the Teeg High athlete, broke the high school and N. E. Collegiate record for the javelin throw in Boston recently in the Brown Interscholastic Meet at Andrews Field. Paris' distance was 172 feet, 6 inches, smashing the former record of 137 feet 8 inches set by Smith of Worcester Academy, and the Brown record of 172 feet made by Feldman last year.
Paris, whose home is in Orange, N. J., is an all-round athlete, playing football and baseball and specializing in javelin and discus throwing.
Brice Taylor, University of Southern California track man, took fifth place in the century run in the Intercollegiate Track and Field meet in Philadelphia last week, giving his school, which won by 3½ points, one of the winning points.
The Italian hospital fund boxing bout on which card Harry Wills is scheduled to meet Charley Weinert as the feature number, has been postponed from June 19, because of the necessity of Mickey Walker, another main participant, undergoing an operation for an ingrowing toe nail. The bout will be set for July 1, 2 or 3, if the Polo grounds are available on one of these dates.
George Godfrey "the black shadow from Leperville" a leading colored heavyweight and former amputation partner of Jack Dempsey, showed that he was in line for the heavyweight championship, when he out boxed Jack Renault, heavyweight champion of Canada and contender for the world's title in a 10 round bout at San Francisco, last Saturday. A few days after his victory, Godfrey received word that Dick Donald fight promoter, had signed him for a 10 round bout with Harry Wills in Los Angeles, Saturday, August 1.
Gene Tunney, white, American and A. E. F. light heavyweight champion knocked out the veteran St. Paul boxer and pride of the west, Tom Gibbons, with a crashing right hook to the jaw in the twelfth round of a scheduled 15 round bout at the Foley Grounds in New York last Friday, thus making himself a logical contender for the heavyweight crown of the world and eliminating one of the most feared aspirants.
In the preliminaries of the Tunney-Gibbons battle in New York City last Friday, Bob Lawson, Alabama's claimant of the world's colored light heavyweight title, won the unanimous decision of the judges in a six-round match with Ray Newman, white, of Jersey City. Bob severely punished his opponent with fierce attacks and was on the aggressive throughout.
While Flowers was defeating Malone, Harry Greb, white, champion of the world in his weight, was having an easy time with Jimmy Nuss of Newberry, Mich., knocking him out in the third round of a scheduled 10 round bout.

TIGER FLOWERS WINS 10 ROUND GO WITH MALONE
Seven Thousand See Atlanta Deacon Out Box St. Paul Man In Fast Bout. Northern Rallies Too Late
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. June 10. Tiger. Flowers, the fighter, out boxed Jock Malone, the boxer, to beat the well-resilient their ten-round bout which featured the all star boxing show here last Friday night. Malone, badly outclassed as both fighter and boxer in the early part of the bout, staged a green and thrilling rally in the closing rounds to make it one of the fastest and clearest fight seen around Chicago in recent years. Malone did no business as a point gatherer, but in the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth rounds, when he sailed into the sensational Georgia Negro as a fighter, he had the crowd of 7,600 on their feet roaring for a knockout.
Flowers had the St. Paul man missing badly in the early rounds while he piled up points with great regularity with a tantalizing back handed right hand punch which he followed repeatedly with a smashing left to the body.
Jock Spills Blood
Flowers kept pumping away at Malone's head and nose with that deadly backhanded right and before the second round was over Jock was spouting crimson blood and was even, as both boys were cautious and stepped around the ring feeling each other out. Flowers got busy in the second round and from then on until the seventh round won every one with out a break. The seventh was Malone's by a shade, the eighth and ninth were even and the tenth and last was Malone's by a mile.
Malone missed more punches during these seven rounds than he ever has in any previous bout, chiefly because he was attempting to box with the Georgian. Flowers stood the St Paul Irishman off with that right and then countered with his left to the body.
**Right Worries Malone**
Malone was puzzled and worried. When they got in close Flowers scored heavily with short rights and lefts to the body. When Malone stepped out and tried to box at long range, the Negro boy kept pumping that right to the nose with telling effect.
Malone took everything that the Georgian threw at him however, and was right on top of his man at all right. Then he in the seventh round he pushed Flowers to the ropes and planted one on the chin that dazed Flowers. Jock did not follow up his advantage, and the golden opportunity vanished, as Flowers immediately walked into a clutch and held on until his head cleared.
That wallop seemed to give Malone confidence and from that point on he was a slashing, slugging fighter, casting all of his famous boxing skill to the winds.
A Great Finish
This method of attack earned him that even break in the eighth and ninth and gave him the last round by a decisive margin.
Malone rushed out of his corner like a Tiger in that final and long to be remembered round. He was all over Flowers, flaying away with both hands and scoring with telling effect with lefts to the jaw and rights to the body. He finished the stronger of the two.
The show drew a gate of approximately $20,000.

THE MEANING OF LIFE
By Thos. Alison.
The more you sense of what you are,
The less there is launcened;
Just like a billet seen after;
Or shawdy myth just speeded.
Just like a ship upon the sea.
Beneath the fallsows sinking;
Ere life upon itself doth creep.
And man on man is thinking.
You punts so often by the way,
Like walking at the fountain;
To some of life as best you may,
Of yonder ricky mountain.

JAKE JICK, "Your Tailor"
Mr. Jake lick, the tailor of 2024 Market street, jetted the city Tuesday in company with soo' friends, on a tour to New York City in a new Morman car. He will spend a month with his brother, who is making his home there. Jake is well known in the sixth Ward, where he lives, because of the many charitable things he does for the poor people, together with his interest. In elections from time to time. He like some, other white voters of the ward, knows the colored voters in the Sixth Ward are in the majority, and are always ready to stick together, realizing that in union there is strength. He is a Jew, and says that if the Jews were as thick here or in any other ward, they would have the elected offices as long as they had the vote. Jake says he cannot understand how some Negroes can go around knocking other Negroes who are fighting for them. In every case, however, says he has found the knocke' himself has foothing, and can do nothing for himself or anybody else.
Take boasts of being a member of the regular Sixth Ward club, of which Robert T. Scott is committee man, Mr. Scott and Mrs. Elizabeth Gamble, the committeewoman, were elected by the voters of the Sixth Ward for two years, and he feels that we should support them, until their time expires, and should they run again, we owe it to ourselves and our children to elect two more Negroes to represent the ward in the committee. Jake says he will spend his time and money to that end. He is well satisfied to get the trade of the colored race, and in return is ever ready to help men and women who are qualified to get into offices where they can be represented like other citizens of our great city.
Much credit is due The St. Louis Argus for the tight it makes for right, along with others who have confidence in their own for leadership. Jake says he is going to make a speech upon his return, at which time he hopes to have every voter of the ward present. While out of the city Mrs. Jake will carry on the business. She, likewise, does many acts of charity with a smile that means so much. Jake will be missed while away, but he needs the res. he says. He will bring back with him a full line of the latest fall goods direct from the mills, and will be able to give the people their money's worth. While out of the city, he will be pleased to have his friends stop in and see his wife and children.

ASKS LIFE TERM FOR MAN SENTENCED TO HANG
A fight has been begun by Paul A. Richard, attorney for Leon Williams, 27, who is sentenced to hang July 17 to have his client's sentence committed to life imprisonment. The attorney for the defense is seeking a rehearsing in the Supreme court on the grounds that the court failed to rule on several points in, handing down its decision, and that the points which they did rule on were not of vital importance, and that they did not pass on errors which were important in regards to the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney's remarks during the final argument.

Thre is quite a deal of commotion these days in the Negro schools, that is/there is commotion in schools owned and operated by whites but attended exclusively by Negroes. Mr. McKenzie had to leave Fisk, and they are trying to get Mr. Durkee away from Howard, and Mr. Duke gives $20,000 to Kittrell. Of course, Kittrell is a Negro school operated by Negroes.
Negries want Mr. Durkee removed from the presidency of Howard University. He should be removed. He isn't the right type of man to have control and leadership of Negro youth. Any white man who will deliberately accept the presidency of a school that bars Negro's is no fit person to be at the head of a school for Negroes. You can't run with the Kut Klux hounds and the abolition minded foxes at one and the same time. Some colored people claim that the solution to the problem lies in putting colored men at the head of our schools. This may be true; I don't pretend to know. But I do know that it will be many a day before this consummation will come to pass.
In the first place the schools, where all the trouble ceases, are no more Ne-

gro schools than are the schools in Mississippi attended by Negroes. Schools such as Howard, and Pisk and a few more are simply schools that groes go to. They have also nothing to do with the management and control of these institutions. The whites put up the money for the maintenance of these schools, and, of course, thereby hangs a tale.
A snarkier leads money to a manufacturer and in time becomes the manufacturer's boss. Certain wealthy whites give money for Negro education and, since they pay the bidders, they call the times. They put whom they will at the head and determine the police just the same as any other owner.
All that glitters is not gold and every gift is not genuine philanthropy. Sometimes that which poses as philanthropy is at bottom a pure and simple business investment. Sometimes it pays to do things for others—even though it costs one money—rather than let them do them for themselves.
PAGE SEVEN
If an individual or group never does certain things for itself it will never learn how to do them and consequently remain weak and dependent. As long as the group is weak and dependent it is not dangerous.
As far as I know, Mr. Dukes does not belong to that group of white Americans who hold the refins to the educational program for the Negro. His gift seems to be a genuine desire to help improve the lot of people that he knows well and among whom he has lived for many years. But as for some others who are very anxious to do something for the Negro," Dr. McKenzie and Dr. Durke tell the story.
Time skims the secret designator of crime. It has made few mistakes in statesmanship and literature.
Be sure you are right; after that
he sure you have convinced your
friends you are right; then go ahead.
God made the country and man cut
the trees off it.

REPORT SHOWS DECLINE IN U. S. POSTAL REVENUE DESPITE HIGHER RATES
WASHINGTON, D. C. June 10.
Although there have been some increases in postal revenues since the higher postage rates became effective, April 15, a report of the summary of the receipts for May shows that there has been a big falling off in the receipts of the majority of the post offices of the country. If the returns continue to decline at the present rate, there will be a falling off of more than $12,000,000 a year instead of a gain.
Receipts of 50 selected postoffices for May totaled $27,454,861, as compared with $20,838,241 for April, and $15,624,000 for March. These offices, which turn in more than half of the country's total post receipts, reported a decrease of more than $20,000 for each business day, as compared with March, when the old rates were in effect.
While there were decreases, postal receipts in fifty selected cities throughout the United States for the month of May amounted to $27,454,861.37, as against $5,914,385.09 for the same month in 1924; an increase of $1,510,475.38, or 5.94 per cent.
Newark led tae other cities in the percentage of increase with 10.95 per cent. Newark's receipts for May amounted to $83,975.12, as against $76,615.72 for May, 1924.
Akron, Ohio came with an increase of 17.45 per cent, while Dayton rinked up their receipts showing an increase of 14.74 per cent.
St. Louis receipts were $079,138.64, a gain of $11,585.38, or 1.20 per cent.
Kansas City receipts were $747,180.06, a gain of $14,608, or 6.96 per cent.
A summary of the effects of the heavier postage rates then will be prepared for presentation to the joint Congressional Postal Committee, which will open hearings here July 20 bookings to meet the $88,000,000 salary increase voted employees by the last Congress.
THE SPIRIT OF UNREST IN NEGRO INSTITUTIONS
THE SPIRIT OF UNREST IN NEGRO INSTITUTIONS
By DANIEL W. CHASE
For The Associated Negro Press.
Rest is impossible. In all this broad land, in fact throughout the vast domain, in animal life as well as in vegetable life, there is no rest. There is no rest for man in social system or in state. We grow better, or we grow worse.
There has come to notice recently a spirit of unrest in two of the leading institutions for the higher development of Negro manhood and womanhood. In both of the schools in point, the head is a white president. It is a difficult thing to keep active, aggressive, forward-looking youth down. All live things let you know what constitutes them. Touch if you will "a live wire."
Boys and girls of the college age in this generation see the world as one vast plain. They ask no favors, except it be that they wish to be let alone, their own lives. They are quick to see an insult, and with all proper respect, they are quicker to resent it.
They resent insult at Fisk; and they leave; they become indignant at the-great Howard University, and lo and behold 1,200 of them strike. There is only this much of it, men with vision must be placed at the head of these great institutions. Men who not having forgotten that they were once youths, must be in sympathy with the youth of today, and these men to be builders of thought and action, must make the period of youth, as it were, an isthmus between two eternities. There must come on the scene and that real soon, and they must come from this particular racial group, men and women with a dogged determination to open up to the youth of this age new vistas; to set their minds straight, and to help keep them straight. They must be able to touch a life, and having once touched it, must be able to awaken the best that is in it, for the cry of the youth is "to know, to know."

Columbian Press Burcau
NEW YORK, June 10.—The Carnegie Corporation has appropriated $5,500 toward the establishment in Kenya Colony, Africa, of a school for Negroes. The school will train natives to serve as visiting teachers in the small "bush" schools in accordance with the system developed in the southern states of this country by the Jeannes Fund. The appropriation is made from a special fund which the Carnegie Corporation has for the promotion of education in Canada and the British Colonies. The gift is the result of a recent report made by the Phelps-Stokes Educational Commission to East Africa. James W. C. Dougall, who served as Secretary to the commission while it was in the field, will establish and direct the new school, which will be the first of its kind in Africa. Mr. Dougall is now taking special courses at Teacher's College, Columbia University. He will sell for Africa next fall.

A. conference with Dr. John McGrath, president of the Bellevue and allied hospitals, said Dr. Vincent, only brought forth, the statement that the medical board of the Harbor Hospital had agreed to Grath that the white interns would resign if colored interns were admitted.

HOWARD WILL HAVE BUDGET OF MILLION
Presston News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.
Howard University will operate next year on a budget of nearly a million dollars, the largest of any institution on the campus for foraging colored youth, Dr. Emma J. Scotch reported at the annual meeting of the trustees, Wednesday afternoon.
Dr. Scott made this estimate on the supposition that $130,000 for equipment of the new medical school is obtained. This, in addition to a $591,000 Government appropriation and $265,000 out of the general funds, will make a grand total of $556,000.
Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president, reported during the year an unusual "awakening of the student body to higher scholarship." The attendance during the past year, he said, was 2,064, with students from 47 states and foreign countries. These trustees were reelected for three years: Charles I. Corby, Washington; Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, Boston, and Bishop John Hurst, Baltimore.
These new trustees were elected: Victor B. Doyber, C. H. Pope, Dr. C. Summer Wormley and John R. Hawkins, all of Washington. Dr. Francis J. Grimke, trustee for 40 years, resigned.
The corner stone of the new gymnasium and gymny building was laid Wednesday afternoon. There were brief addresses by Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean of Yale University Divinity School and president of the trustees, and other members of the board, by Dr. Durkee and by Dr. Scott.
The building to be constructed in renaissance style, will cover the largest area of any of the university structures. There will be two floors that first for athletic and drill purposes, and the rest for department of public health and hygiene. The basement will contain a swimming pool.
The complete building, with the athletic field, which will adjoin it, is to cost $197,500. The field will be 680 feet long and with the effect of a 10,000-foot radius, it will be 10,000 and a maximum space capacity for 20,000 spectators.

NEGRO BIRTH RATE SHOWS DECREASE SINCE 1900
Columbian Press Bureau
COMBINATION. B. WASHINGTON, N. C. June 10—It is a factual fact that not only wax and pestlecoat, but also certain social conditions retard the natural increase of the population of a Nation. That the war, the high cost of living, and the unsettled conditions resulting from a large migratory movement have retarded our natural increase is indicated by the decrease of our children under five years of age per 1,000 of our women of childbearing age, or between 15 and 45. In the year of 1900 there were 582 colored and 588 white children under five years of age per 1,000 women between the specified ages in each racial group. In 1910 there were 519 colored and 588 white children in 1920 there were 489 colored and 471 white children. In other words, the population statistics for the country as a whole indicate that during the twenty-year period there was a decrease of 153 colored, and 37 white children per 1,000 women of the given age group in each race. The unsatisfactory economic and social conditions in the South, which resulted in the migration of several hundred thousand men from the rural to the highly-organized northern industrial centers, in addition to the world war, made the required service of nearly 500,000 young men, accounts largely for our loss of 90 children, as compared with only 13 for the whites during the unsettled period between the years 1910 and 1920.

INTER-RACIAL GOOD WILL IS LAUDED IN D. C.
Race Leader Tells Citizens Of The Value Of Better Relations Between Races. Stresses Cooperation.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10—Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. spoke before the Chamber of Commerce at the Atlantic City, N. J. Yacht Club, last Thursday night, on "Inter-racial Good Will." This body is composed of the richest people at the resort, the proprietors of the huge hostelries that line the ocean front. Mr. Thomas told his audience of the value of good will between races, not only to the submerged group, but to the dominant as well. He told them of the aspirations of our people, and of the vast services they have rendered the nation in all fields of endeavor. "The colored people in America," he said, "are simply seeking justice and all that the term means. They love their country to which they come even before you of the more-favored race. They know no other land, and they want to work out their destiny here. They know that by yielding each man his full civil and political rights, and untrammed economic opportunity, and equal protection of the laws they will be able to grow to full stature and their maximum contribution to the community good. If with half an outspart other race, you outspart other races in taking on the best things in civilization, as we have done in these sixty years, how much more could we have given to our country if we had had all of the rights and opportunities willingly accorded every other group that goes to make up our population? The granting to every man his due is the only solution of the American race problem, and the only hope for interracial peace. Good will between the two great races who are here to stay is not only noble sentiment but practical business sense. Dividends cannot flow from business in mob-stir-en communities. On the other hand, it is destroyed. Neither can labor yield its maximum output unless there is an esprit de corps in its ranks, a feeling that is born of fair dealing by the dominant group."
BRYAN AND EVOLUTION
By William Pickens
For the Associated Negro Press
Bryan and Tennessee are attacking
the law of evolution—as if they
thought that natural laws yielded to
attacks. Men may be jailed or tortured
or burned, but no law of nature
is spoken. One of the greatest triumphs of the human mind was the discovery of that
that evolution was the forms of life.
The Fact is attested by more other
facts than is any other principle of
the universe. This law is witnessed
by every blade of grass, by every leaf
in the forest, by everything that walks
or flies, and that creeps and crawls
and increases—and even by the very
cells of the one-sided brain of Bryan.
Bryan declares that he never descended
from the apes. Well, the apes
have never said so, and no scientists
have yet accused the apes of so much.
The law of evolution does not say that
man and apes descend from apes; and that
man and apes descend from original creatures; and that that original lived not so long ago, when we
measure time in geological ages. This
truth is so well attested that no really
educated man can doubt it.
Of course, this law of evolution has joined battle with all the ancient superstitions, brought forth of evolution the scientists have brought facts, libraries of facts, facts discovered by careful observation on a world packed full of such facts. And against evolution what does Bryan bring? Only religious nonsense and soul hot air. And against this law of the universe, Tennessee has brought forth a new english literature, many of whom have never known what the word evolution means.
Some say that Bryan moved South because the people of the North would not get accept, his political vagaries and that he is trying to make god in the South by adopting southern prejudices and exploiting the superstitions of the ignorant.
And is it for Tennessee—the law of evolution cannot be bypassed by the wisdom of a state where the men alive, Savagery and superstition hand in hand. We expect next that we shall hear of Mississippi passing a statute repealing the law of gravitation.
If anything is wrong with the ideas concerning evolution, the best way to find out what is wrong is by investigation and study among scholars of the schools. Bryan may get some facts from these Quixotic business, but he will never be able to criticize the law of evolution "on a cross of gold."

Lesson for June 14
THE CHURCH AT ANTIIOCH
LESSON TEXT—Acts 11:19-20
GOLDEN TEXT—The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch—Acts 11:21
PRIMARY TOPIC—Some People Who Received a New Name.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Barnabas in Antioch
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - Lesson From the Church in ANYONG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC - The Secret of a Growing Church.
Saul, the new missionary, who was to lead in the evangelization of the heathen, having been miraculously cultled to his work, it was necessary that a new religious center be established. Antioch became that center.
I. Peraching the Word of God at Antioch (vv. 19-21).
Persecution at Jerusalem scattered the disciples abroad. Some went among the Jews only with the gospel message, while those from Africa and Cyprus courageously crossed the line and preached to the Greeks also. The Lord blessed their work in granting many conversions. So great was the air that the news reached Jerusalem, the mother church. Persecution worked for good in this case as well as in many since. These humble people with hearts touched with the Spirit went out with the glad message of life to others.
II. Barnabas Sent to Inspect the Work (vv. 22, 20).
1. The Character of Barnabas (v. 24).
He was a good man. It is important in sending a man to follow up the work of the Spirit that his character be good. He must not only have an undamished character, but his sympathy must be broad. He must be capable of entering in full appreciation of the things about him. Barnabas was full of the Holy Spirit. This is an essential qualification for pastoral work. Only a Spirit-filled man can discern the workings of the Spirit of God. He was likewise a man of great faith. Only a man of faith should instruct young Christians.
2. Work Done by Barnabas (vv. 23, 25, 26).
(a) He heartily endorsed the work and earnestly eloquently them to continue steadfastly in the faith, and to elevate unto the Lord. There are many allurements to tempt young Christians.
(b) He rebelled over the work which had been done. This shows that Bignabras could rebel over the successful work done by others.
(6) He brought Saul from Earsus (v. 25).
He did more than merely inspect the work. Doubless he preached also for many people he added into the Lord. The work grew to such an extent that he brought Saul to help him. They labored together for a year with great success, and carefully taught the people. Believers, after they have confessed Christ, need careful teaching. Barnabas had the good judgment to seek Saul for this important work. It is the duty of church officials to seek out men and women who are qualified for the Lord's work, bringing them from their places of obscurity and setting them to work in the Lord's vineyard. Saul was a more important man than Barnabas. There are many men in obscurity who require a Barnabas to bring them forth.
11. The Disciples First Called Christ
III. The Disciples First Called Christians (v. 25).
They were not called by this name in derision as often asserted; Stifter well says, "What Luke intends to convey is that Saul and Barnabas taught in the church for a year and the disciples were first called Christians. The name was a consequence of the teaching." Green renders the passage thus: "And it came to pass, with them that they were combined even for a whole year in the church, and taught much people, and that the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch." This distinctive title came through Dylane guidance. It was owing to the teaching of Saul and Barnabas that this body called the church was given its unique standing and place. Lot it be remembered that it was not given as a term of reproach but because of the close resemblance of the body to its head, Christ.
IV. Benevolence of the Church at Antioch (xv. 27,30)
They made up money for the poor saints at Jerusalem and sent it by the hands of Barbarians and Saul. The gentleness of the work at Antioch is proved by their good deeds. It was further emphasized in that there was no division between Jew and Gentile Christians. The Gentiles ministered to the Jews.
Treasures
Mistrust may whilbe our material treasures from us; sorrow or sickness may canker them, turn them to ashes in the mouth. They are not ours; they hold them upon sufferance. But the treasures of the intellect, the gift of being upon nodding terms with truth, these are treasures that are our impregnable own.—A. S. M. Hutchinson.

As to next Sunday! "Tide Over Day!" What does it mean? It is a substitute for the Spring Rally of which the session planned to relieve us. What is asked? That each member pay his pledge for one, two or three months in advance. Mark and turn in the envelopes. It will enable the session to meet some urgent needs on the building and keep up running expenses during the vacation period, besides adding to our vacation enjoyment.

Colortul News
"Movies"
By The Cameraman
For Preston News Service
The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has uphold a decision of the Supreme Court, affirming the right of white property owners to restrict the sale or rental of property to white persons only, thus debarrying Negroes from renting or purchasing properties as to which white tenants in fee have, in writing, agreed not to rent or rent same to colored people, to one of course, the property of the Court in rendering upon the facts presented, a decision so adverse to the hopes of the Negro citizens; for, of course, the hypothetical question arises as to what the general situation would be were white property owners the city over, or the country over, so that matter, to enter into similar agreements of restriction as to the descendants of a slave people who have, in the larger sense, had to purchase or rent white owners or an ancestor of the principal property owner have ever acquired in this country. However, courts of law, however, desire; they do not instruct any one other than
their juries. " Hence, the grave question arises as to whether or not the issues which, in restricted property cases, have been carried to appeal courts have been correct and proper. It appears that the principal issues which have been cited in these cases were Constitutional and public policy issues, based upon civil rights rather than upon strict real property rights as passed upon it, since the caption of the British Constitution. Without the slightest desire to criticise, and only with the honest hope of broadening the scope of the issue in these restrictive agreement cases, we beg to call attention to the view which the law has always taken of restraints upon alienation and the rule against perjuries, each of which doctrines has much to do with the so-called land covenants, as to which eminent jurists have said: "Much depends upon whether such covenants (agreements) lead directly or necessarily to enclose it (the land value or render it) more important than it may be owned or occupied." "Further," says the weight of legal authority, "there must be a privilege of estate between the covenanter and the covenante (party of the first part and party of the second part)." These highly technical points of the law of real property, it seems to our humble mind, take precedence over the general law of civil rights, and with sincerely apologies to the legal profession, we point them out in good faith, with honest motives, and with the conviction that there is a way to break down the barrier which seems to have been firmly established by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
Henry P. Pry (white), President of the Anti-Famatic League of New York, has stepped into the limelight with some interesting scenes from inside the cup of the Ku-Klux-Klan, "After being on the inside of this movement (K, K, K) for three months," writes Mt. Fry, "I found that the whole proposition was a fraud and that instead of its being a fraternal order, it was a secret political conspiracy designed to control the entire lawmaking and law-federal branches of the State and Federal governments," Mr. Fry, southern gentleman and son of a Confederate army officer, sent a feminist monograph on how he convinced Sand denounced the Klan, later stimulating the New York World to conduct a nation-wide investigation of the hooded empire
The World exposure and outside influences, consisting of Catholic, Jews, and Negroes, says Mr. Fry, who began a series of attacks on the KKK, ultimately made it possible for that organization to become a political power; which quickly used the Catholic Jew. Negro propaganda as a vehicle of salesmanship to thoughtless people who were anxious to propagate racist and sectarian antipathies; and, concludes Mr. Fry, the Klan menace is still real;
Whether or not Mr. Fry is a Daniel come to judgment, we cannot say. 'Oa the face of his exposition, however, there seems to be a sinner attitude. It is probable, though, that the hostess there seems to be ministered to the Invisible Empire are taking the "nee" cut of "menace," the New York Appellate Court has just curbed the Klan in an emphatic way. In Oregon, the ban which it is said the Klan was attempting to place on parochial schools has been done away by the State Supreme Court. And, in Indiana, the Simmons order has any great potential strength, but it is not itself, State jurisdiction have heeded his awakening protests of honest to goodness. Americans, regardless of color, religion or race, who know that any secret lever of government or silencer of freedom must not, cannot prevail in the United States of America.
Graduation Time
With a pocket of the old roll-trip desk filled with invitations to graduation exercises, north and south, east and west, we are reminded that we are in the midst of graduation time, when the sons and daughters of a struggling race whose heads and shoulders have broken through the crust of their lives, stretch forth their hands for diplomas certifying to greater attainments in art, science, literature, music and all the embellishments of civilization. Law, medicine, the trades and the fine arts, will make their contribution to the search for knowledge; with thousands of graduates from the humble race schools on up to Yak, Harvard and Chicago university, and a ground of students who have gone God ever created will step off the stage, into the mises of the professions, business, industry and agriculture. If was inspiring to note a lassie in Tennessee, Miss Muttie Copeland, who played Felix Mendelssohn's Hondo Cappelicissus us her graduation major in masse. It was equally in spring to note highly-honored Negro students who have donned their graduation caps in the school schools. The location of the type of school mural no difference it secured.
But after graduation, then comes the transition and work from the local to the national declinations of the southward world, where, aside from internal group competition there is the artificially created competition based upon differences in color, and in texture of hair. From this mistaken school of thought America has not yet graduated. The course is lore and hard and the teachers are ill-trained. They have placed self ahead of Christian vincule and their textbooks are antiquated ones. It is a ten-to-one competition against the budding Christian graduates every time they reverse it, however, they will place their trade, and their professions somewhere. Here and there some conscientious group in the great white world will welcome them rather than repel them. The infant, Negro Business, will soon reach maturity and give them more and more employment. Tenchers and artisans will find increasing opportunities. The public service will slowly but surely be opened to them in greater measure. The remaining barriers in industry will be removed in due time; and even in Delaware, a Negro lawyer will some day be admitted to the Bar. Oh, there's no room for gloom in the minds of our graduates, who from the Person spring of knowledge will move forward into world accomplishments.
While cooling off the other night in a Washington, D. C. public park, which, as yet, has not been restricted from use by the colored brothers and sisters, we met a wise guy, who after handing us a handsomely embossed

card, explained that he was spending the summer in Washington, where he could visit the Smithsonian Institute, and congressional Library, to assist whether or not he had used art science in his life-long study of art science and history. He had graduated from an Illinois University, done research work in New York, studied three years in England, and fished up anthropology history and philosophy, including excavation of taking ancient degrees in the case fall. Three things he explained would enable him to make a real contribution as a Negro exponent of education; and the Race would doubtless feel proud of being so comprehensively represented in world progress. It was not unlikely, he thought, that the Spagnolian metal he used upon him next year, despite his undecline and self-effortful habits.
We were a little abashed at meeting such a modern Socrates, Boyle and Sir Humphrey Davy all in one, as Professor George Carver, of Tukungue, Matt Henson of North Fole fame, and Roland Hayes, the silvery-toned tenor had long since, rested upon the peak of our appreciation of high racial eneavor; and so, for the sake of safety-first, we descended the schile of intellectual discussion to such topics as we were rarely familiar with.
No, the brother didn't know much of Negro history. He had heard of Liberty, Booker Washington, and Marcus Grieve, however, Vote! No, he had been too busy for that. He had heard of Jesse Binga's bank, Harry Birrighle, and Jack Johnson. He knew that Tuskegee institute was somewhere down south; but he said that it was quite degrading for him to think of the industrial labor of education which is so hard to he exclaimed. He had always seen the Chicago Defender once, because, as he emphasized, when he wanted news he bought the New York and Boston white dailies. Of Germany, Jerusalem, the Medes and Persians, and King Louis the Fourth, the brother knew endless facts; but of the world of the Negro, to which he would have to return some sunny day, the brother knew nothing. He had not kept fit as to the vital foundation upon which he must eventually rest his active brain. America is too highly developed to be of progressive assistance without being upon the friendliest speaking ones.

"WHAHT FOLKS FUST"
For The Associated Negro Press.
All God's Chillun Gift Appetites.
Therefore, before I start on that journey down into Virginia, I will stop here at the lunch room of the Union Station in Washington, D. C. I will not quite my lunch time yet, but it is better than than to have my digestion hampered by anger at being permitted to eat only after all the whites have finished on that dinner on my way to Richmond. I have a parlor car ticket to Richmond, but that will make no difference; I will not be allowed to go into the dining car when the white passenger who will have the seat right in front of me, will be permitted to go—for_when I cross the Potomac I'll be in the land of 'Whaht Folks Fust.' They can ride in the parlor seat next to mine, but they can they can in one end of the dining car while I eat in the other. I suppose they know the philosophy of that. I don't. Anyhow, I'll check my bags and go into the station lunch room here where I can time my eating by my own appetite, and not by theirs.
I go into the lunch room and find a vacant seat half way down the counter, where there was plenty of space, unoccupied seats remaining on both sides of me.
Then a new problem arises, perhaps I am not far enough down towards the kitchen end of the lunch room counter,—where I have not noticed on previous visits the waiters usually toll and direct colored patrons. I wait all the waiters are colored. I wait for the minutes and get no service. Instead of waiting for a man in flattering, hurrying, I want-agood-dip attitude, they pass me by, appearing afraid even to look at me, and continue to wait on the whites on the left and right.
Oh well. I suppose each waiter has a certain section of the counter allotted to him, and the waiter for this section is out, or has not yet noticed me. Many of them know me; here comes one who knows me; I'll question him. Hello! he passes me by, in a hurry, looking the other way. They have been ordered on pain of losing their jobs, not to wait on a colored person, or to delay his service at least, unless he sits toward the distant end of the counter; but they are not allowed to say so, that the lunch room may stay "within the law." "Say, waiter"— He replied quickly, too quickly, even before he heard what I was going to say. That's a dead give away and he never stopped and fawned and smiled (tom) but said with a sheepish glance and in natural and even a voice as he could force: "Er—yo' waiter! he there pretty soon."
Perhaps that's it. Walter for this section stepped out and they are not supposed to take his place. Funny arrangement, though that others do not have to do, is not my, too, that they do not stop a second and explain. Colored people

are too sensitive,—so white people say, conveniently. Perhaps it is true; perhaps I am too sensitive, the regulation may seem unreasonable because I do not know the reason for it. And, "like colored people," I suspect the worst.
I am not quite sure yet. I have experienced a lot of this devilment before. And I always find out before I quit.
But look! the clock hand is moving toward the hour for my train. I will speak to the waiter next to my left—a degree further toward the far end of the counter:
"Are you serving this section, waiter?"
"Yes, sr!" with a fawn and a bow that was almost a salam but also with a tell-tale tone of relief in his voice.
"Well, I'll move there, and let you serve me, I can't wait any longer, here."
"Full of politeness and disarming smiles he grabs napkin, knife, fork, spoons, and rushed to lay me a cover a little further down the counter than I had supposed his "section" extended. He is evidently doing all he can to make me comfortable, and at the same time to obey a powerful something else of which he is evidently said.
As I sit down in the new place, physically just so commodious and not more than twelve feet from where I was sitting, I am no longer "suspicious" but am now convinced that these colored men are unwilling and almost helpless tools of fury that attacks their self-respect by making them deny human privileges to their own skin-color.
First of all an insulted Negro is tempted to feel the greatest resentment against such colored servants; the poor whites erroneously vented their hatred toward black slave of the slave-system. My first feeling is therefore: The idea of colored men allowing themselves to be so used at any price!
I will eat this food and not even give this coward a tip. But on reflection I ruminate. These men are the victims. Certainly they cannot scorn their own color. How do I know what rebellion is in their own minds? They are bearing tortures for a living. Perhaps this fellow has a family—and children. Maybe his baby is just my skin-color. How then could he be a willing abetter of white people with the little color, which is also worn by the little creature whom he loves better than he loves apparently being in the universe. It is silly me to hate him; I might as well hate the harnessed and bridled horse with which some bully tries to drive over us. This brown man's fight is also my fight, my fight is his fight. This senseless, silly savage thing is our common enemy.
I ask him. Yes, he has a wife and baby, and children in school. How could I ask him to starve them in order to save me from insult? They also have appetites. I could at least buy food from some other lunch counter,—but, perhaps this is the only lunch counter from which they can be fed. All-God's Children have appetites.
He gets his tip—a little bigger one.
But how on God's earth can I get to strike hard at the real devil who is behind this devilry? What is the use of Calvin Coolidge in this town, anyhow? What is he doing? Perhaps having a row with Congress over the question of which white fundamental democracy is being wrecked and vital human rights are being denied right under their eyes. Why Calvin Coolidge does not even know anything about the vital problem of twelve or fifteen million of his own fellow citizens,—and has a mighty poor chance ever to find out. He ought to have a Negro among his advisors—but if we had one, would there be a repression and fear and limitation in which these Negro waiters find themselves?
This color oppression is a common enemy and colored Americans have got to locate its centers and attack together—colored people of all classes and occupations, and by no means must they allow human semen and misdirected anger to make them waste their shots on each other.

A fellow has to be something of a spinner to keep up with his good intentions. Pedestrians have to follow definite paths in crossing the streets of Paris otherwise they are liable for fine. It was reported that the world's deepest well has been completed in a small Pennsylvania town. Engineers drilled down a depth of 7,428 feet before they struck natural gas. The drilling required 30 months. A needle containing $1,000 worth of radium was lost in a hospital in Newark, N. J., recently. A patient who had been operated on was X-rayed in the belief that the needle might have been in the wound. It finally was found in a cash can by means of a radium detector. A Canadian goose brought down by a hunter in North Carolina some time ago had an aluminum band on its leg which stated that it enine from a farm near Kingsbury, Ont.
A weather expert once set upon the laborious task of measuring dimension of raindrops, and he found that the largest were about one-sixth of an inch and the smallest one-five-hundredth of an inch in diameter.
An interesting fact which he also discovered was the raindrops are larger in summer than in winter, and largest in leaf than in cold climates.
Chinese breaths, gullbirds are creatures of wonderful beauty and form. The fish has long fins, which look like lace, while the tail is of an exquisite silky texture, resembling the skirt of a dancer. They are the result of age-old processes of breeding and selection.
Those who love Nature must see something that those indifferent, to it do not. What can it be?
A man's life can be so evenly balanced that a clean shirt can make him happy.
No wonder political platforms view with alarm. It is a common habit of everybody.
What a boy can't understand is that anybody should want to sell a dog.
How fiction has changed since the novels in which a man got on his knees to propose.
One is pretty free if he is not constantly told to do this or told to do that.
Ordinary facts are important; and illuminated with fancy, they are interesting.
