CHARLESTON, W. Va., Aug. 19. Negro workers are circulating a protest against treatment of unorganized Negro miners, by West Virginia coal operators. The circular states that the national association for the improvement of Negro workers of America has had a committee composed of many of the most influential Negroes of America make a thorough investigation of the conditions of Negro coal miners in northern West Virginia and especially with reference to the strike in that section that is being conflucted by the United Mine Workers. Short Weighed We find that instead of the union scale being paid, as set forth in the Baltimore and New York agreements, our people are receiving in most instances $3 per day less than the union agreement" the investigators say. We find that instead of our people receiving a square deal as to the workers' compensation there is no check weighman and the coal operator takes any number of pounds he desires to make payment for a ton of coal. Guards are Schemers We also find that the coal companies employ many guards and gunmen, for the most part come from the city, but the rest of the country as watchmen, they give our people absolutely no protection, but rob them of their little earnings. These guards, or so-called watchmen, are also in league with the dope ring from Chicago, which is furnishing dope to our people in these camps. The guards and company officials receive part of the profit on the dope Union Would Protect After careful investigation of the records and the United Mine Workers of America, we say without fear of contradiction that if Negro miners ever expect to improve their lot and have their families live in accordance with the standards of the United States, their only hope lies in joining the United Mine Workers of America. "It is the only institution in and around the coal mines that can protect the Negro workers, and we trust that they will be trained and immediately join with their fellow men who are fighting for the union scale of wages and working conditions in northern West Virginia. "It has never been the purpose of our great organization to interfere in disputes, but the action of the coal companies in northern West Virginia in inducing Negro miners to enter their employment at starvation wages under a gunman system that is worse than chattel slavery in the south makes it absolutely necessary to point out these terrible facts for your information. "We appeal to every Negro miner in northern West Virginia to host the call to lusty and demonstrate that they are good soldiers on the field of industrial battle."

Scott with Double-Dayle-Pace Company, publishers, against the inclusion of lifesubstantial chapters on Negro officers and soldiers in the "Memoirs of General Robert Lee Bullard soon to be published, Arthur W. Page, Editor of the World's Work, and son of the Ambassador William H. Page, replied that General Bullard was entitled to express his opinion of Negroes, even though it be a -low opinion. In reply to this statement, Mr. Scott argues in part: "I take it for granted that a great publishing house of the reputation and dignity of Double-Dayle-Pace and Company would wish to be very careful before leading the influence of their imprint to opinion of propaganda calculated to damage any element of the population in the exes of their fellowmen." "Weak and defenseless peoples" continued Mr. Scott, "are always dependent on the repute and esteem in which they are held by their more fortunate fellowmen; therefore, they must zealously guard their reputation and good name." Public opinion on the Negro question is very sensitive and is easily shifted in the wrong direction. Supporting Mr. Scott's protest and arguments, letters are on file with the publishing company from the Secretary of the Committee on Public Information, Malcolm R. Patterson, and numbers of those who commanded Negro troops during the World War. Secretary Baker's official statement of November 8, 1933, was also included. WORKERS' CONDITION IN CHINA FRIGHTFUL HONOLULU Hawaii, Aug. 13.—In a lecture on Oriental labor conditions Miss Mary Dingman pictured an appalling state of affairs in China. Thousands of children, some of them scarcely more than babes, work silt spinning mills, while thousands of women toil from 14 to 15 hours a day in the fields. "Habor conditions in China are about as they were in England at the end of the eighteenth century," said Miss Dingman. "From 70 to 80 per cent of the textile workers are women. Little children workers frequently become so fatigued from the long hours that they fall against the machine and are badly injured or are killed. The machinery is unguarded and there are no compensation law." _____ When an undertaker is looking soil is when he is making money.

Cunningham. 4333 Cook avenue, has been selected as one of the delegates to represent the local branch of Letter Carriers at their Convention at Detroit, Mich. Sept. 7 to 12th. The Local Branch No. 3433 will be well represented, in fact, they will be greatly honored by having such a splendid fellow as Mr. Cunningham as their delegate. He has been in the employ of the local Office for some 11 years. When we remember that this is the first time this Local has been a member of our group to represent at their convention, we feel there will still hope, needless to say, we are glad this Branch selected Mr. Cunningham as the first Negro representative from St. Louis. He is a worthy editor and we are proud of him. Mr. Cunningham will leave in a few days to motor through. He will be accompanied by his splendid wife, who will serve as chauffeur, having long since won the distinction of being the best at the wheel of the Cunningham business will make the trip with them. Their stop will be in Chicago to visit Miss Owens' sisters. After a brief stay at the Convention, the happy trio will leave for Canada, Niagara Falls, New York and other points East. They hope to return some time in October. Signed — L. May. Come out and enjoy a real night tonight at Chauffer's Club. — Ady. Current Topics By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Preston News Service SKEFTICS, AGNOSTICS, ATHEISTS INFIDELIS AND FREE THINKERS These are the "true" words of the Fundamentals. They are, the pranfam of the briathen who believe that the Bible was originally written in English or English or Zulu or Russian or in whatever language the user of the words happens to speak. The words are the fanning sword thrust at certain persons, by professional protectors of our morals, our skills and our ideas. Along with radical, Religious Antifascist, these are a few of the Infinite Words of Two Six Patriots. Patriots, Security League, Conflict Barons, Security League, Southerners with Negro mother, Negro with white fathers, people who read, those who can but who are too lazy and those who get a volatile prision generation in the heart when they try to think. The above are also favorite expressions of the Safe and Sane, True and Trick who believe that Elijah, added an axehead swim from the bottom to the top of the river, who believe in the potency of Adam and Eve root. The rod of a politician or that there is a great lake of fire awaiting the wicked just a few miles under the earth's surface. These are also the legal expressions of certain legal-frained inferences and morals who seem to feel must must us to be ever personally in order to be the goal will of the powers that be or the reverence of the rattle. And, of course, they are the open Syshine into the good grasses of all the Klan minded, Shoutout Bollers, Saturday Evening Post,inthologists, mill town masters, Dry Rose Squirrels and all the vast array of shuns one infuses fateful drones who are strong for that branch of science known as Syshines.

Market, SHAW'S Pharmacy, 4260 Finney WEST END, Pharmacy, 4060 Finney heard of a Conservative or a Fundamentalist precipitating progress at anytime or anywhere? How could they when their look is always backwards? The advance of civilization necessitates a push and pull forward. The Fundamentalist simply gets by the brake and holds it down tight. He doesn't know why he does it. All that he knows is that change and light are pots to him. It was the heterodox who destroyed glaucy in American and England. The Orthodox Fundamentalists wanted slavery to continue. Had it not been for the Non-Conformists, the earth would still be that and the center of the universe. There would still be a Half dawn and a Heaven somewhere. Kings and autocracies would still be the heart of the burgery of the female child, the witching of the wind and the sun, the glooming of women, the slaughter of captives would still be the rule. As we saw the Fundamentalists who followed Jesus to Nazareth, but it was they who crucified Him. It was these same Fundamentalists who perceived, Galliano and Cooperati. It was the Fundamentalists, the Conservatives, who mobbed Garrison and murdered Latejoy. It was the Conservatives, the Safe and Sane who smashed Spanish Impression, the Saba Witch Craft the persecution of the Huguenots as well as Dr. Postolf and Prof. Schief. Next week's start shall begin a discussion of some of the leading so-called Agnostics, Free Thinkers, etc., and set opposite them the lending Fundamentalists of that time.

NEW PHONE NUMBER Of The St. Louis Argus CENTRAL 4620 Address 2312-14 Market St. Thousands of Dollars Lost Annually Patrons of the Excursion Steam er St. Paul have unnecessarily spent an average of $300.00 every Monday night during the Excursion season, due to the fact, of not takin ing adequate wages, and the lack of increased income, from the several organizations giving Boat Excursions. The price of tickets bought in advance is 50 cents, whereas the price of admission tickets bought at the wharf of the St. Paul is 75 cents. Thus it can be readily seen that 25 cents can be saved on each ticket bought in advance and in bringing this matter to the attention of the public. Calvin Hyde Post No. 194 recommends an undue waste of money be curbed. The thousand of Patrons who go out these summer boat outings of their own are requested to purchase their tickets in advance, and avoid the extra charge at the Boat land- ing place. The, 25 cents extra charge may seem small to some individuals, but when consideration is taken of the fact that about, 25,000 tickets have been sold during the season at wharf for 1,870,170,000, placing it on the list, 18,750,100, which means, 18,750,000 has been given to the Post Co. for nothing. The different organizations and groups giving Boat Expirations in the future should get together, establish regular places where tickets can be purchased, in advance hereby saying the patrons of the Boat the many thousands that they large have giving away in the past. To the ones that don't mind the extra charge at the wharf, information is respectfully submitted, that the National - Executive Committee of the American Legion is the midst of a drive for the $5,000,000 dollar endowment fund, for the orphaned children of World War Veterans and will assist you this your wallet in advance, would add material, and serve a great purpose if donated to the - American Legion Endowment Fund - see any Legionnaire. But whatever you do stop this needless waste of money and so change, the profit channels that the organizations fostering Excursions may in the future be benefited. St. Louis, Mo.

Although battling Siki, the fighting Senegalese, did not make such a brilliant showing during his stay in America, his cousin, Reginald Siki, the iron man of the wrestling game, continues to blaze his path with glory.

Starting with his usual bang-up style of worrying his opponent, Siki had to battle for dear life. Seizing McLeod's trust, his first lock, he threw him to the floor. McLeod refused to stay put and wriggled free time and again. Securing a flying mare which held the crowd spellbound, Siki caused the former to sail through the air and land on the mat with a sickenking thud. After he had worried his opponent with a series of hed locks he grasped him with a body scissors and pinched his shoulders to the mat.

The Jewish colony in Mexico compo- sised Central and Western European immigration. It was twelve months from virtually nohair to five thousand.

LOUISVILLE TO HAVE NEW COLORED HOSPITAL Columbian Press Bureau WASHINGTON, August 13—Interracial co-operation in the Blue Grass State is yielding returns, and aside from the recent slight of Democratic Governor Fields, who refused to adhere to the Kappa Psi fraternity, Kennett colored people, in cooperation with public-spirited whites are recelying their just dues in the State's civic advancement. According to authentic reports, a colored hospital is soon to be erected in Louis, ville, where race physicians, surgeons and nurses will be given the chance to practice their professions. Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, Vice-Chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Senators Fred M. Sackett and Richard P. Ernst are said to be deeply interested in giving the colored geo-people of the city a chance to heal and it is believes that earnest and sincere citizens throughout the city will pull together in this landable project. Republican leaders of both races have been working together in close formation in making the city an ideal place to live in, and this new project caps the climax of welfare work in behalf of the race. The local Urban League, under the direction of the efficient J. M. M. Raglan, Attorney-at-Law is deserving of much credit for building up a strong bond of understanding between the races; and the feeling of Louisville can be traced all over the Louisville-va can be traced all over the. The exact fund which is to be allotted to the contemplated hospital has not been ascertified, but the building will be modernly equipped and will take its place on the city-state of regularly chartered institutions.

Explains Reason CHICAGO, Aug. 19—(Special)—The release of Umpires Boone and Bert Gloston by the Negro National League is the beginning of an effort to clear up the unpitting system, which has been anything but not the standard. Only two men now in the enrolment of the league are sure of their jobs. They are Jamison and Donaldson. The work of umpires has been so wretched that President Foster could not nothing else but make the change. He has made different owners and managers as to the ability of the men used. Foster tried to stick the season out, but found the ball players and fans, regular everyday players, who paid their way in the box office, were complaining. Fans quit coming to the parks and still no improvement. Augustine all) Shair of New Orleans; also were given their release. Poster intend; to use colored umplies, but they must be able to dry blow the good; and know the rules of the game. At the end of three years' trial, the majority are worse now than at the beginning. Given every protection and trusted, they have been given the right to the players on their own discretion but they have lost, their hope, forced players to bear the game and subjected them to fines when unjust decisions have caused players to become unruly. Players have always been instructed to obey arbitrators, right or wrong. So great were the complaints from the fans that Foster ordered all uniprises to report at Chicago and gave them a chance to work under his watchful eye. Then came the change. Some have failed to learn to use the left hand for balls and the right for strikes. Fans don't know what a butter on his hone. Others would be so far off on the ruling according to the books that the decisions became a joke in the eyes of the fans. In St. Louis, one umbrella refocused the Cuban's right to change a pitcher in a league game and later on when the St. Louis club wanted a change of hurlers, he refused to allow it. Stitch actions, the very kind that wreck attendance along the league circuit, made the president of the league start a hockey clowning. The St. Louis Greys went down to Flora, ill, last Sunday and won a hard fought-thirteen inning game 9 to 8. It was a series of thrills from start to finish, the Greys staging a great battle against minor leaguers. Basswell starred behind the bat and collected a single and three doubles out of seven times at bat. Walt went entire distance, and the Greys played like the veteran. He struck out eleven batters. Outstanding features were the batting of Fulbrush and fielding of Stona. For games with the Greys, write Joseph Gray. 2133-Randolph. Score by innings: AMERICAN GIANTS AND STARS MEET SATURDAY Rube Foster's Windy City Pennant Contenders, Will Try To Cut Down A Three Game Lead Held By The St. Louis Club. TO PLAY FIVE GAMES IN ONLY SERIES HERE Fan Fever Is High And Big Overflow Crowds Are Expected At All Games. The Giants Are Desperate To Win And Will Fight Hard To Dislodge The Stars. Rube Foster and this Chicago American Giants will be here Saturday for a series of five games with the St. Louis Stars. By a peculiar arrangement of the Negro National Baseball schedule, this is the first and only appearance of the Windy City aggregation in St. Louis this season. The same was true of the Monarchs who made a single visit of three days. In years past, the coming of the Chicagoans was a sign of overflow crowds. It will be so this time, as indicated by the S. R. O. sign that has been hung out at the box seats office for Saturday and Sunday. The interest in the series is great; the five new teams the Giants are only three games behind the league leading Stars and the visitors will fight hard to cut this down. They will have to win four of the five games to get a half game ahead of the St. Louis club. Various newspapers throughout the country have been supplied with information from some source that has indicated Foster's club as constantly leading the league this latter half season. Only the true figures, however, will illuminate the difference. - St Louis has won 24 and lost 7 games, with a percentage of 758. Chicago has won 18 and lost 10, with a percentage of 643. The Stars and Giants have clashed in only one series this year and the Stars won three games out of five, played in Chicago. Last week we said that if Rube got away from Kansas City with one game he could shake hands with himself. He did just that. He may win two games in St. Louis, but we doubt it. Hensley has been on the sack list and Dawda in a slump. If these aces round to form, it will be "Too Bad Jim." Branham and Brown are it to turn back any club in the league at present. Ross may pitch one of his old time shut outs any day, and the club is still pounding the pill viciously; so we say, Come On Rube and Take Your Medicine. Five games will be played starting Saturday and ending Sunday. All games will be called at 3 o'clock and ladies will be admitted free as usual on Tuesday. Eddie Watts spiked down, second base when he got into the A. B. C. series and it looks as if he will camp there the rest, of the season. He also got 10 hits out of 14 trips to the pate and included a home run. Redus in guarding his off position and qualified for his usuriness with a home run Wednesday. Milton Smith, the local boy, got in a couple of innings with Indianapolis this week and showed up well behind the bat. This youngster is going to make some club a good catcher. Baseball excursions from Kansas City and Chicago are expected to bring a large number of visitors to the Stars-Giants contest Sunday. The St. Louis Stars celebrated their resignation to the home ground by defeating the Indianapolis A. B. C's in all of the five games played at Stars Park. On Saturday the Stars won a 17 to 5 score. On Sunday they won a 5 to 8. On Monday the score was St. Louis 8 Indianapolis 6. Tuesdays' score was Stars 12, Indianapolis 2. On Wednesday the score was Stars 18, Indianapolis 5. Ross pitched Saturday's game and held the Indianapolis team to serve hits. Hensley was the harrier on Sunday and Brown finished the game, pitching the eighth and ninth innings. Davis, Miller and Brown worked in Monday's game. Brahaman wont the route on Tuesday holding the visitors to six hits. Miller pitched the final game on Wednesday and fielded ten hits in 8 innings. Watts celebrated his return by making 11 hits out of 14 times up, including a home run. Saturday's Game The Stars sounded Alexander and Gusley third in the opening gates on Saturday for six home runs and scored in all but three innings, the fourth, fifth and seventh belag the scorper rounds. Wells Murray, Bobo Russell and Babe Willett were the home runers. The Stars rushed in the first inning on six many blues. Three more came in the second round for Wells and Bobo coneeted for homer. In the third Bobo batted out a home run and the Stars scored three runs.

In a tiny room, ceilful of tobacco smoke and champagne funes "fashionable" people, practically all of whose names have figured in the front pages of American newspapers are guests of an American colored woman. Florence Taylor, who is considered one of the beauties of India whose sunnips mode of living has amazed even the French. In "Florence's" as the cabaret is called, I saw eight or ten tables all with people who tonight will strut full dressed at the swagger and exclusive dinner dance at the Hotel Hitz. There was Reginald Vanderbilt, with Glorin, his wife and her sister, Mrs. Thulah Converse. A card away was Crane Garty, a sensational ex-friend of Harriet Hardwood a week's ago. Female Ward the gibbish grandmother, with her affercescent husband, Jack Dean had a table adjoining. Vern "Kittens" Lather, of Long Island and Broadway, snuggled into a corner near the heavily guarded door. Philip Plant, America's third-pictured heir, did his dance especially aided by Erskine Gwynne, a Vanderbilt nephew, who is called the "playboy of Parks." There was Mice. Helen Haveneyer, recently divorced, who is the only society woman who never wears an evening gown. Across the table from her was Billy Bardon, former partner of from Castle. There were playwrights, Russian princes and ostentations numbers of America's alliary stewardship, and there were spenders from Chicago's loop, Broadway and Hollywood's boulevards.

ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign, Advertising Representatives W. B. Zim Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. A FAKE STORY OF AN ATTACK As will be seen in another column of this paper a young white girl down at Silver Springs, Maryland, has confessed that she had faked up a story of a "Negro Attack" to shield her sweetheart, a young man of 19 years with whom she had been out with the night before. In telling the story of the attack, the young woman is said to have described in details the circumstances including a minute description of the Negro. This story aroused the indignation of the community, citizens as well as officers, and a posse was soon organized together with bloodhounds and in pursuit they went for a Negro fitting the description given by the girl. Every Negro's life in the community was in danger because of this false alarm. But happily no one was caught, strung up, shot and burned before the officers, thus close questioning of the girl, got a full confession from her, admitting that she had lied on the colored man, and that young Parkhurst, her friend, was really the guilty party. A story of this kind should be given wide publicity. This is a typical case of the alleged Negro attack on white women. Nine times out of ten, the cry, "Negro Attack" is to shield a man or to shield a woman, and the Negro is the victim because he is the easy prey of mob violence. We had a case of this kind recently in Missouri at Excelsior Springs. All of the real evidence points to a young white man who was in company with the girl the night before. A mob hung a Negro and the guilty party goes free. Such stories should be thoroughly investigated because they are generally costly, both in life and property, as well as ill feeling and good will. THE MINISTERS APPEAL TO SCHOOL BOARD The Inter-dominational Ministers Council, composed of most of the ministers of the city, presented a petition to the Board of Education, asking among other things for a Senior High School for the colored children east of Grand Boulevard. The arguments, set forth in the petitions, were replete with facts, logic and reason. The need for this school was made plain, backed with an appeal to the members of the School Board to act in the name of justice and right. What more can the citizens do? They see the crying need. They feel the burden imposed upon the parents of these children; they know the justice of their cause. But it so happens, that we elect a School Board of men and women whose duty it is to meet the needs of the children to the end that necessary and adequate equipment be provided for every child in the city. If the Board fails to do its plain duty toward the Colored children, of course, the courts are open and relief may be sought through the courts. But the ministers of the city have chosen another course, an appeal to the consciences of the members of the School Board in the name of justice and right. But will the board act favorably, or will it seek excuses? One of the excuses of the past, has been "too expensive." That is, it has been said by Supt. Maddox; it would be too expensive to buy ground and erect a high school building east of Grand for the Colored children. He bases his arguments principally on the cost in dollars and cents, thus he says, let the poor parents of these children pay the expense by compelling them to send their children across town to one high school. Of course, the dual system of education is costly, but why should the Colored children, those who can least afford it, be made to pay for the operating of such a system, or why should they be made to suffer because of such a system. It is not right. There is no justice in it. ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SUPREME COURT D. W. Peters, of Jefferson City, has made a formal announcement that he is a candidate for the Supreme Court-subject to the Republican primaries next August. The office of a Supreme Judge is one of great importance and men who seek the office should be those of the highest type and particularly free from race prejudice. We only know Mr. Peters slightly, having come in contact with him a few times during the last State legislature. But our friend, Hon. Walthall Moore can do doubt give the inside dope on Mr. Peters' official acts as a member of that body. Mr. Peters was the leader of the Republican side of the house and as such, wielded a deal of influence in making the laws. We are pleased that Mr. Moore was there, and, no doubt, he will tell who Mr. Peters is, from inside information. The minister (2) who preaches the doctrine of the Ku Klux Klan may truly be called a wolf in sheep's clothing. The Ku Klux Klan is an institution of the devil, and the fellow who preaches its doctrine, is nothing less than an agent of Satan himself. We are doing our best to see what the Governor, Attorney General and the law enforcement officers are going to do about the lynching at Excelsior Springs before we condemn them. There is no immigration quota on the dollars Europe owes us. Results speak louder than words. Stay sober. Even a full moon gets down to its last quarter. Economy doesn't hurt business, but business puts a crimp into economy. Why not put a little of the religion they're trying to keep out of politics into the politicians? The life problems of some people consist in adding insult to injury. Past is past and present is present and ne'er the twain shall meet. Consistency is a-jewel that doesn't cost a six-months' salary to acquire. How do they expect us to drive correctly and read all the traffic signs at the same time? The world pays high tribute to talent, while it starves genius; still talent could not exist without genius having first created its program. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, AUG. 21, 1925 Devoted to a Discussion of Social and Civic Problems and Events SOME OBSERVATION ON THE HOUSING SITUATION Some relief from the overcrowded housing conditions faced by the colored people in St. Louis may be seen in the large number of houses, flats and apartments which have been built during the past two years in the extreme west end of the city. This relief will come, however, not in a direct way, but in an indirect way, through the gradual, moving westward of hundreds, of white families living further in the east, south, and north parts of the city. The millions of dollars invested in the tremendous-building program which has taken place in the extreme west end and in the county cannot continue to remain idle, as some of them have for several months, without a great deal of loss to the investors. The topnotch prices which are demanded for houses in these newer and exclusive sections must inevitably tumble unless their owners are willing to continue to sustain big losses on their investments. This does not mean that St. Louis has caught up its building program with the demand of housing for its steadily increasing population. In the opinion of the writer, however, it does indicate a possible source of relief from the present crowded conditions. If this theory is correct, then the next few months should see a gradual exodus of white people from the sections afflicted to the territory already occupied by our group and a gradual displacement of white people in some of that territory by colored. Such a transition is going on in Leonard avenue from Morgan street to Easton, wherein, during the past three months we have witnessed numerous sales to members of our group as well as the entrance of at least a score of colored renters. There is danger, however, in the present situation, particularly in some parts of the section east of Grand avenue where property is for sale to colored buyers. The danger lies in the fact that many of the houses are quite old and more or less in need of repairs. They are located where ground values are relatively high and rental values are also high, due to the competition for living quarters. Because of this condition anyone planning to buy a piece of property in this territory ought to make sure he is not buying a "white elephant," but that he is putting his money into a safe investment. Not only must the prospective buyer figure on the initial payment, on a piece of property, and his ability to meet the needs on his second deed of trust as well as the regular interest notes on his first deed, and in addition be able to pay his takes, insurance and allow for whatever repairs may be necessary on his property during each year. This includes painting, decorating, plumbing repairs, replacing broken windows, roofing repairs, asphids etc. Failure to consider these fundamental repairs and upkeep has been largely responsible for some of the criticism aimed at our group because property is allowed to run down. In some few instances this condition has been due to the above lack of fore sight, while in others there has been indifference. One thing needed now to help in our housing problem, is a general increase in the pride which keeps a house painted, repairs made when they are needed, and an appreciation of the effect of the looks of 'my' house as compared with my neighbors. JUNIOR IDEAS Edited by LORETTA E. OWENS The Love of Nature. (Concluded) This happy sensibility to the beauties of nature should be cherished in young persons. It engages them to contemplate the Creator and His wonderful works; it purifies and harmonizes the soul and prepares it for moral and intellectual discipline. But not to insist longer on those ardent emotions that are peculiar to the enthusiastic discipline of nature, may it not be affirmed of all men without exception, or at least of all the enlightened part of mankind, that they are gratified by the contemplation of things natural as opposed to natural? Monstrous sights please but a moment. If they please at all; for they derive their charm from the beholder's 'amazement, which is quicker over. I have read, indeed, of a man of rank in Sicily (in days of equality) who chose to adorn his villa with pictures and statues of most natural deformity. To say of anything that is contrary to nature, denotes curiosity and disgust on the part of the speaker as the epithet naturally intimates in its quality, and seems for the most part to imply that a thing is as it ought to be, suitable to our own taste, and congenial with our own constitution. Think with what sympathy we should peruse a poem in which nature was totally misrepresented, and principles of thought and of operation supposed to take place repugnant to everything we had seen or heard of; in which, for example avarice and coldness were ascribed to youth, in which cruelty and envy were productive of love, and beneficence and kind affection of hatred and justice and fortitude were held in universal contempt. Or think how we should regard a painting when no regard was had to proportions, color, or any of the physical laws of nature; where the eyes and ears of animals were placed in their shoulders; where the skin was green and the grass crimson; where trees grew with their branches in the earth and their roots in the air; where men were fighting after their heads were cut off ships sailing on land, lions entangled in cob webs, fishes sporting in the woods and elephants walking on the sea. Could such figures and combinations give pleasure or merit the appellation of the sublime or beautiful? Should we hesitate to pronounce their author mad? No. for the absurdities of mad men are not proper subjects either of amusement or of imitation to reasonable things. A Glance at the Progress of The Negro Race (Concluded). In the recent World War, of the 310 colored soldiers who received French decorations for bravery, 60 of this number were commissioned officers. The very first American who received French decorations was a Negro boy. There are hundreds of things we cannot remember of the Negro bravery the World War, but giving only a glance at the progress of our race we must hasten on. Leaving patriotism, we will call your attention to Negro fraternities. There are more than sixty-six Negro fraternities in the United States with a membership of more than 2,200,000. More than $20,000,000 worth of property and these organizations are giving much attention to the improvement of the health of their members, hence are saving the United States many thousands of dollars, because it is estimated that the annual loss to the South by sickness and death of the colored race is $300,000,000 and half of this amount is said by health improvement. There are more than 29 libraries for colored in the United States, ten of these being in schools. There are more than 779 colored lawyers, two of whom are women. The first colored lawyer admitted to the bar in the U. S. Supreme Court was John S. Rech, February 1, 1885, and the first colored woman, Charlotte Ray. The End. - By Kewpie Orest Westberry. A GLANCE AT THE PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO RACE Never, in the history of the world, have the rapid strides in progress taken by the Negro Race been parallel to the progress in a short time for a race to find itself. When the situation is considered from every viewpoint, the growth of the Negro race was not only poor and ignorant but was suffering, nay, slowly dying under the greatest yoke of humiliation and degradation ever instituted—that of slavery. When those galling chains of bondage were struck from its snucked body, the race was more helpless than new born babies. They were no longer hands near to handle the delicate, no-soothing voice to guide its weary, ignorant, bleeding feet in the paths that they should go, were the only unlikenesses of the babe. It has slowly but surely raised itself from the dirt and from sin until it now demands recognition as a race and will not be again lowered to the earth by threats and intimidation. This once wretched, elvering race has emerged from deepest superstition to modern enlightenment; from the darkness of the light and education; but that is not all, the members of this race have entered every field of life's work it is possible for man to enter.

A Visit To Fifteen Different Countries And Thirty-Five Choice Cities. NOTHING LIKE IT BEFORE OFFERED INDIANAPOLIS, ind., Aug. 19.—Have you seen Havana, Cuba—the Paris of the Western Hemispheres? Havana so rich in history; the eternal monument to the one-time greatness of Spain and the daring of her navigators? Perhaps not, but Havana will be the first stop of the winners of the trips around the world as offered, by the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing company of this city. Just three days after the four lucky candidates have set sail from New York on their globe diving tour, Havana will greet them with "Como esta usted?" and show them the famous Columbus cathedral which held the bones of the great discoverer until they were removed to Seville, Spain; the fortress of La Fuerza, the old Governor's palace; the statue of President Maceo. But let us hasten on to Colon, at the Atlantic end of the Great Panama canal. Contrasting this picturesquely tropical Latin-American city is the neighboring American settlement of Cristolina. For 43.84 nautical miles our pilgrims will have a chance to study the engineering miracle of this artificial waterway between two oceans: Gatun lake and Belo sobre, the world's largest artificially formed lake; Miraflores lake, Pedro Miguel locks, the great Culebra cut, Gatun locks, Gatun dam, and finally Balboa, the Pacific terminal port of the canal. The winners in this matchless contest will go ashore here and visit the old city of Panama six miles away, with its interesting relics of the oldest European town on the mainland of America. Around the edge of Mexico and Lower California, Los Angeles will be touched and also San Francisco, from whence a southerly coast will be struck to Hawaii. Pearl deils in the Hawaiian coast, some smiling maiden kills the welcome of these most able people to the world voyager. Ample opportunity will be afforded to view the unrivaled beach at Wakiki and the countless other wonders of the 15 volcanoes rising out of the Pacific to form the Hawaiian group. Afterward will come Japan, Korea, China and the Philippines. Ten days at sea do not measure the distance from Honolulu to Japan. It is all the way from west to east where everything is different—houses, customs, life, religion—all cast in a different mold. Each country has its quota of richly decorated temples, marvelous shrines, plumesque natural scenery, motley peoples and individual curios that will live imperishably in the memory of the traveler. Into the Mediterranean So it will be the remainder of the way through the entrancingly mystical Far East - Java, India, Sumatra, and into the historical waters of the Near East and the Mediterranean sea. Even "Main St." in the old home town will have a new zest after four months' travel into 35 cities in 15 different foreign countries. Impossible though it may seem, all these wonderful sights on this matchless trip are obtainable to any church, fraternal, civic, charitable or educational executive as guest of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of this city. An invitation is extended to every eligible man, woman and child to communicate with the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing company for full details on how to make a free trip around the world. CHICAGO RIVALS N.Y. AS MECCA FOR NEGROES LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE.

WASHINGTON, August 19—One of the largest steel makers in the Youngstown, Ohio, district has notified its customers that a car shortened by a crack is likely to spread to other steel making centers. This prediction has been partially confirmed by the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has ordered 100 caboose bodies. This "boom" in the iron and steel industry, which is the first of its kind since the war boom, is expected to "take up" a large portion of the "overflow" of Negro steel plants in the Pittsburgh, Pa., Midtown Ohio, and New York. Negro labor has made a particularly commutable record in the iron and steel plants, and where, during the past quarter year, there have been enforced "layoffs" of both white and colored iron and steel workers. INGENUOUS NEGRO LEADER ELECTED TO SCHOOL BOARD NEW-YORK. August 19 — Elmstorf, New York is the scene of tumult and tragedy. A selection of a colored man to the effect of treasurer of his school board. Indeed an indignation meeting was recently held by whites against the "preposterous incongruity." But the victor, Chester A. Wilson, just smiles and bade his people have no fear, while he carries on his duties uninterrupted. Wilson came into prominence last fall when he took up the cause of the good sized leaderless colored populace of Eunsholm in a case against a white teacher, who flogged colored school books with a blower. Through his violence he won the solid suppose of his people and in the recount election guided them in defeating those who had favored beating children with rubber hose, and into carrying the secretaryship for him.

Rigid Ban Is Advocated. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 19 "The immigration question, a thing of vital concern to the colored American, has a real champion of restriction laws, in the U. S., in Professor Edward M. East, Harvard expert on population problems. Prof. East bases all of his conclusions on sound economic social and political doctrines. Gives Ten Reasons. Speaking on "The Biology of the Immigration Question" before the population round table at the Institute of Politics here last week. Prof. East read a "Decalogue on immigration," giving ten arguments for the reason of immigration by the United States. He said the most important reason was that low-grade immigrants would eventually make Americans unfit to face the more bitter struggles of existence which will come as our population continues to grow. Even now, he said, 25 per cent of the American people are "undesirable" in that they are unfit to deal with the conditions of modern life. Professor East caused a tempest at the institute two weeks ago when he criticized Count Antonio Coppiolo's demand for emigration outside for Italy's surplus population. A storm of protest from Italians followed the Harvard professor's statement that birth control was the only rational solution of Italy's over-population problem, and that Southern Italy had been "leading the desigas" of her population to American in recent years. Professor East stated his "Decalogue" as follows: "1. Emigration forced as an economic necessity by population density affords no permanent relief to the homeland, because the ensuing birth release re-establishes the old equilibrium. "2. Conditions in this country are today and will continue to be such that newcomers will meet increasingly bitter competition, which must be accepted under unfamiliar conditions and often with a linguistic handicap. "3. Immigrants who come with a lower standard of living tend to reduce our own standards. 4. "Immigrants who are relatively incompetent when compared with the native and there are many such—are expensive employees because of their think in terms of a minimum wage. "5. Incompetent immigrants are expensive fellow-citizens because they add to the tax rates; that is to say, they require more than a fair share of the public money to be spent for benevolent institutions. "6. Huge numbers of foreign-born lead to a foreign-policy based on expediency rather than sound principles. There are numerous groups to placate. "7. Large groups, of foreign-born prevent us from developing a unified national culture. "8. Excessively rapid growth leads to the destruction of natural resources too quickly. "9. Immigrant competition tends to sterilize the native population. sterilize the native population. "10. Immigration, when forced by economic necessity, tends to lower the biological quality of the race. Decries Labor Competition "What else could be expected? The one great reason for migration from Europe, whence nearly all our immigrants come, is that over-population has made the struggle hard, because only the flittest can succeed and remain there in more or less comfort, while the remainder must emigrate or remain as the submerged fraction of the populace. Except in rare cases, it is not the gauduses or even the muskets of us for refuge, it is the infirmes, whose lives have been by economic pressure. If we take them, neither their descendants nor our descendants can have a fair chance when this same type of struggle comes to this country in the not far distant future. It is a serious matter." A. E. Cane of the Massachusetts Agricultural College decried the competition of cheap foreign farm labor with American farmers. He pointed out that it was estimated that 200,000 or more Mexican immigrants are coming into the United States legally, or illegally every year, and that sugar and beet culture, cotton raising and vegetable growing in certain parts of the country were calling for cheap labor.

Dena allegiance of, ch. 11. N.J. NASSAU union. J. N.J. NASSAU union.) Lesson for August 23 THE MACEDONIAN CALL LESSON TEXT—Aces 16:5-18 GOLDEN TEXT—Come over into Macedonia, and help us—Aces 16:9. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul's Wonderful Vision. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Called to Europe INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP The Macedonian Call and What It Says YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Head of God in Mission. I. Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to Preach the Word in Asia (VV. 6-8). The inclination of Paul and his companions was to tarry in the provinces of Asia Minor preaching the Word, but contrary to their inclination they were hurried along. There were many people in Asia who yet needed the Gospel. They might have reasoned, what difference would it make where we preach so the Gospel is preached? We have here a fine lesson on Diffe guidance. The Holy Spirit is as active and faithful in closing-doors as in opening them. "The stops as well as the steps of good men are ordered of the Lord." We ought as truly to recognize God's hand in the "shut-ins" as in the "open-outs." 11. The Call to Macedonia (vv. 9-12). The Gospel has broken the confines of the. Jewish city and country, the middle wall of partition having been abolished, the time has come for it to leap across the Aegean sea and begin its conquest on another continent. Christianity thus ceased to be an oriental religion, and through the centuries has been mainly occidental. 1. The Vision (v. 19). Being hewn in on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading for help. This made plain to him the closed doors about him. In finding the Divine will we should look both ways. Before there can be any great forward movement, there must be a vision. There is no victory without a vision. As soon as the Divine way was known, they moved forward therein. Visions must be quickly translated, and aggressive action taken or else they are blotted from our skies. Paul never questioned the wisdom of God nor delayed action. This is characteristic of all God's true servants. With a straight course, Paul moved out of his own country to the strategic center of a new continent. III. The First Convert in Europe (vy 12:15) The missionaries first went to Philippi and spent several days in studying conditions there. The Jew-ish element in this city was comparatively insignificant. So much so that they could not have a synagogue. Therefore, the devout people were accustomed to worship by the river side. To this lambid gathering Paul came and preached to the wicked assembled there. A certain woman from Thyatirin threw Lydia, a proselyte, believed his message and was baptized. The steps in Lydia's conversion are worthy of note, for they are typified: 1. Attendance at the Place of Worship (v. 13). Usually those whom God is calling are found at the place of prayer. Lydia was a woman of wealth, culture and wide experience, and yet she had need of Christ. She was seeking the heavenly living. God sends many an inquiser to the prayer meeting. 2. Listening to the Preaching of the Word of God (vv. 13,14). The instrument used in the conversion of simers is the Word of God. Faith canon by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Rum. 10,17). It is highly important that at every player meeting the Word of God shall be spoken so that, the inquiser after God may find the Light. 3. Her Heart Was Opened by the Lord (v. 14). Only the Lord can convert a soul. It is our business to preach the Word of God, and it is God's business to open the heart of the inminer. Regeneration is a supernatural work. When the Gospel is preached the Spirit of God opens the sinner's heart for the reception of Christ. 4. She Was Baptized (v. 15). Every one whose heart the Lord has opened desires to confess Him in baptism. Baptism is an outward sign of inward grace. 5. Her Household Believed (v. 15). Real conversion cannot be concealed. When one is converted those in the house will find it out. 6. Practical Hospitality (v. 15). Those who have experienced God's saving grace are thus disposed to have part in His work by rendering aid to His ministers. True Humility True humility consists not in thinking little of oneself, but in not thinking of oneself at all.—Capt. J. Arthur Hadfield. Selfishness Nothing parishes the soul like selfishness; the heart that feeds upon itself grows old first—W. I. Watkins. "Our tasks are easier when we pray about them." THE ST.

Weaselert;rd, rector; L. Ousper, secretary LANE TABERNACLE C. M. E. The interest of the hundreds who worship at Lane Tabernacle was focused upon the departure of the pastor, W. H. Evans for a two weeks' vacation and much speculation was evident as to who would fill the Eight pilgrim in his absence. In the midst of this conglomeration the officials of Lane reviewed the time when Rev N. L. Smith was absent several weeks in Europe and set out to inspire such a working spirit in the members in the absence of a pastor as prevailed at that time. An inspection of the clubs and boards at the last church conference proved that they were all in splendid condition. The Trustee Anxiliary Board members await with pleasure the return of their president, Mrs. Emma Bradford, who is visiting in Detroit and parts of Canada. The Person club members were overjoyed at the return of their president, Mrs. Lillian Finney, who was absent from the city several weeks. The Morging Star Sunday School class continued their "bizzy" pace under the leadership of their new teacher, Mr. P. E. Ross, while the Evans club continues to join all faith in its Angelle leader, Mrs. O. W. Johnson. The chair sang an 'anthem of thanks and rejoiced over the return their leader and instructor Miss Willie Person who has been absent taking a course in a Michigan school. The Good Samaritan, Scruggs Progressive and Usher Boards remain invincible and enthusiastic over their giant leaders, while the Steward Board is still alive with memories of that beautiful party held at their home in Webb Grove Aug. 6 and are also much pleased with the coming of several new members full of life and inspiration, and the return of two absent members, Mr. Montel Graves, from Michigan and Mr. G. W. McCord from the "Great White Way." ST. ANGEL BAPTIST This church will conduct a revival beginning August 18 and last several weeks. BEREA PRESBYTERIAN The positiveness of that magnificent promise "Come unto me; I will give you rest!" I am the owner and author of it, is the magnet "which has drawn many a tired soul into the kingdom. Physical as well as spiritual refreshment is drawn from it. Was heard Sunday: "I did not feel like coming to church, for I had a hard week, but now I feel ever so much better." Little Frankie Williams is doing nicely in the isolation Hospital. She is the only one of our group there but she is not conscious of it. Mrs. Alberta Hall, president of the Ladies' Aid is a happy mother-in-law. Miss Lolita has selected her another son. They have our affectionate good wishes. "Another Wonder" was at church. She is the peer of her sister in church decorum for her months. The solo by Miss Jesse Lee Bob Wain was in line with the message, "Christ, Humanity's Universal Magnet." Her voice is a tall tree in a forest of tall trees. Mr. Frank Mitchell's violin accompaniment, showed the real "pitch hitter" for these choir vacation days, as a red blooded youth expressed it. We are sure our chair will help the St. Louis Music Association "Put Negro Music Over, and the Negro Over in Music." They meet every Monday 8 p. m., at the Pine St. Y. This will mean splendid additional training for our city choirs. Miss Grazia Corneal is president. Special message next Sunday a.m. "The building of the house of the Lord." Our treasurer has been able to meet all running expenses up to date, which is unusual for the summer. "Christ hath made of death a narrow starlit trip between the companionship of yesterday and the reunion of tomorrow."

Jno. living from Luke 4th Chapter and prayer by Rev. P. W. Hutcherson a spiritual sermon was preached by Bro. E. D. Hill from John 15:25. We were pleased to have so many visitors present. Come again.

McPHEETER'S PRESBYTERIAN Goode Ave., at Cote Brillante The funeral services of Miss Marquette Eloshe Buss of 4500 Cottage avenue, were held at McPhee's Presbyterian church, of which "she was an active member, Monday, Aug. 15, 1925," attended by many of her schoolmates and friends. Miss Tissie was very ambiguous, having finished the Summer Teacher's College, January 1925. She had hoped to become a teacher in the city school. Rev. A. H Johnson, officiating, used as a subject. The Master's Call. convinced the sinners that the call is to "Repentance" and consolled the beweaved with the fact that the deceased had been called out of her but into her mansion.

We have an attendance of more than seventy-five scholars in the five Sundays we have been here. Sunday, August 16 was a day of happiness for our pastor, Rev. R. O. Langford and he expressed it thru a soul stirring sermon, "Victory Through Faithful Efforts and Cooperation" was his subject. Those who followed Rev. Langford to Lans Taberange at three o'clock were made to feel uplifted after hearing his sermon on "Past Experiences Give Present Confidence". His choral, which is second to none in the city, gave him their hearty support. "Jesus, A Friend to the Less Fortunate" was his topic for services at 8 p. m. One hundred persons have become connected with this church within a month. The Epworth League which meets regularly at six oclock every Sunday evening under the management of Mrs. Eve Jones and others, is doing a wonderful work.

MISCHIEVOUS "JIM CROW" We believe that racial segregation is all the market and the moral realities, is the worst evil against which Negroes have to battle. We intend to keep on the watch for it and to fight it. But we are conceived to admit that the battle against it is filled with peculiar difficulties. "Jim Crow" is segregation unabashed in an absolute sense, whenever Negroes attempt anything in which they are conspicuous because of their influence they are "Jim Crowed." Anything that they have because the white man does not want them as a part of his is dedicated to the spirit of "Jim Crow." The Negro's fraternal organizations are in the "Jim Crow" class, his churches, his newspapers, his barbershop, his baseball leagues, his dances, his welfare organizations, all, if you're going to be reasonable, travel the route of segregated endeavor. He goes to a "Jim Crow" church, but lights, and properly, a "Jim Crow" school. He prescrip- tion from various lines of white interest and gloriously carries on in own "Jim Crow" shorts. A little thought will convince the outside observer that we do not definite segregation in its absolute sense, and terms of what we must accept and that we think we won't have to be protest strongly enough. The individuals opposed to segregation refer to the hospital there as a "Jim Crow" arriving Negroes run well. It was, it is hurt, if no wanted it, and whether we did it. It was good to be that way so far as patients are concerned. New York always sensitive to the "Jim Crow," he been fighting the Harlem Hospita- which is to be managed by Negro doctors on the ground that to give it Negro personnel will be to segregate or Jim Crow."

The New York News has just risen to join the Chicago Defender in taking exception to the Lincoln Legion, an organization of colored service men. The News calls attention to the recent honor conferred on Captain Bontte, an American legion man, in being permitted to review the Fletchth. New York. This is done to show its readers that Negroes can and should fight it out in the old Legion, rather than form a "Jim Crow" legion of their own. All right. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People laborers particularly for civil rights, in a "Jim Crow" way. Why not, if you are going to avoid segregation, merge it with the American Civil Liberties Union? The only cause the News or the Defender has for questioning the existence of the Lincoln Legion is their vain hope that Negroes will sometime be able to function logically in the American Legion. They won't. The Lincoln Legion is fostered by men who have been high in the councils of the American legion, and they have organized the Lincoln, which dents their ability to work with them, that know that hope of expression in the older body is futile. It is born of the desires of former Negro soldiers. It is a called for body, the News and the other segregationists, notwithstanding. How amazed will certain persons be to hear that the Chicago Defender has spoken against the Lineau region. They will remember last October when, at the organization meeting of the ex-soldiers, Robert S. Abbott sat in aid with them, responding their cause and promising them unified publicly without cost. And how his paper inspires enemies to the legion. We'll bet he doesn't know anything about that editor's which he wrote.

Migration And The Rural South By W. A. C. HUGHES For Associated Negro Press Institutes in Rural Communities Equipping the rural-pastor for leadership through Summer Schools is the outstanding contribution of the Methodist Episcopal church to the Negro community in the rural south. The 583 scholarships granted, have been abundantly justified by a very general improvement in church life. A single example is sufficient to emphasize the worth whiteness of this type of work. In one southern conference having 105 Episcopal appointments, 60 of the ministers have attended at least one session of summer school. 32 rural charges in that conference now have some type of regular, social recreational and community betterment service operated at least twice each week from the church center. The wonderful results achieved during the last quadrennium are the basis of our argument for the continuance of these schools and we urgently ask that ample provision be made for the maintenance of at least two schools for the training of rural pastors during 1925. In connection with these schools we suggest the following: 1. That a graduated course covering a period of 3 years be developed. 2. That scholarships be granted to men who will in all probability put in 3 years of training in one of these schools. 1. That each man before leaving the school he asked to indicate what special type of work he proposed to develop in his community immediately following his return. The idea be- Sunday School, etc. 4. The Department of Rural Work through the Bureau of Negro work supply each man with carefully prepared sheets upon which he make a periodical report to the Bureau of Negro Work. If the above be carried out the Department of Rural Work, through the Bureau of Negro Work is to render advisory service to the student pastors at frequent intervals during the year. District institutes We believe that the minister will be more generously supported in a church program which as the scops of entire community has the vision. The Bureau of Negro Work will conduct a number of district institutes during the ensuing year, where pastors and laymen will be brought together at the same time and under a carefully selected faculty trained to the same point of view. The coal fields of America employ more Negroes than any other rural industry. There are 54,432 Negroemployed in the mining operations of America. A study is being made of church and social conditions in mining centers where Negroes are employed. This study will be chieved and the result given in the church's archives. This study however is to more adequately care for our missionary obligations in this neglected field. The Northern City As to those families who have moved from the south to the northern city, it can be said, that they have determined to remain permanently. The delightful southern climate to which the vast majority of the race has become accustomed for many centuries is more than offset by the fact that the north provides superior school buildings and teaching equipment, better housing, better wages, more satisfactory employment and above all a sense of personal security. In a word, the Negro who has migrated from the south has found that his economic, educational and civic advantages are so vastly superior to what he had in the southland, that he will never return except on an occasional visit. It is being observed that the Negro had little difficulty in being absorbed in the economic life of the north, he is not finding a great deal of satisfaction in his social relationships. There is not much congency in the northern community, the church, the one place to which the great majority make their way too often, entouzes over their coming to the altar or membership but is too evident that in most of the churches this catholicism dies out for want of a program or some follow-up system, which would give newcomers an acquaintance in their new home and make them active in new church and community relationships. Jointtes. The Hurricane of Negro Work assembles at a convenient center, ministers and lay workers from many sections of the country to study in conference the problem of the city church. This meeting is usually held during the month of May. This year because the General Conference assembled in the month of May we did not convene. The year previous it was held in Louisville, Ky. This conference has been pronounced by many Welfare Agencies throughout the country to be the most constructive church gathering by its kinal fostered by any of our denominations. The conference is a series of study periods, led by experienced workers among imgrant groups, juvenile delinquents, settlement houses, welfare agencies, and by persons who have had first hand information about health problems and conditions as they relate to stress. The following is a suggestion of what this conference aims to do. The Methodist Episcopal churches are requested to federate in cities where this denomination is a factor in church life, to provide: a. At least one community center in each city. b. To join with other agencies in improving housing conditions. c. To employ a worker for children (an important feature of the work being among juveniles in the courts). d. To urge municipalities to provide playgrounds. e. To seek Christian homes for migrant working girls. f. To advise strangers concerning clinics and dispensaries so that the health of the poor family is not neglected. 2. Every church is asked to create a committee for the purpose of relating strangers to some church. The Department of City Work is cooperating with this annual meeting of Negro leaders. May 8, 9, 10, 11 are the dates for the conference of City Workers for 1925. Following this conference the Bureau proposes a series of city institutes where during several days of study the challenge of a particular city will be faced and studied in the light of local leadership and equipment. Daily Vacation Bible Schools The Daily Vacation Bible School in our Negro field has been fostered by the Department of City Work and the Bureau of Negro Work. Examples of what has been accomplished are to be found in the Atlanta area, where the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension provided Mr. James C. McMorrison, field agent for the Board of Sunday Schools, with the teaching force for 8 schools. These schools had a total enrollment of 750 pupils and a program of worship, of recreation, of study and instruction and certain expressional activities were effectively carried out. These schools have not been confined to one section of the country, for very successful schools are operated in such centers as Baltimore, Washington Philadelphia Chicago Louisiana, New Orleans, Houston and a number of other centers. The Better Church Building In the rural community, the church however crude, has for a long time been the community "meeting place." Will meet you, (at the 4th Sunday) is the most familiar parting word you will hear just before sun down in a southern rural church as the people SAVE AND INVEST YOUR MONEY In a Safe and Reliable Firm.

E. HERRIOT, 4322a Easton their homes. This rural church provides not only a preaching place but is their principal center for social contact. Except for the shelter the church building affords, the bush arbor would serve the same purpose. The transforming of the country church from a "Meeting House" to a center where religion is taught and where ideals are developed and standards are set up, is the big problem that confronts us. To do this a better type of building is necessary. The Department of Church Extension has recognized this and hundreds of communities have made the church of the woods and of the fields a most influential factor in the peoples uplight, because the Board has made possible a different type of building. Evangelism Our entire program has been under girded with the spirit of evangelism. It is our constant aim to build every activity into what will eventuate in soul saving. Ably assisted by Dr. J. W. Golden, area evangelist for the New Orleans area, a program of Evangelistic efficiency has been carried from district conferences through sub-district group meetings, to the local churches. The best reason for there not being a tremendous reduction in our membership in those sections from which our people have migrated in large numbers is the fact that a courageous and consistent evangelistic program was carried out and depended on memberships quickly recruited. For the ensuing year, the Bureau has planned the organization of district wide rural campaigns and a series of city meetings. WOMEN DIE ON GROUND CHARGED BY ELECTRICITY WOMEN DIE ON GROUND CHARGED BY ELECTRICITY RICHMOND, Va., August 12.—One of the most peculiar mishaps which resulted in the death of two women and the serious injury of a third occurred here Saturday. During a severe electrical storm Saturday afternoon, a live wire was blown down and hung dangling against an iron post on the sidewalk; the wet ground around seems to have been charged with electricity which had been conducted down from the point where the wire came in contact with the pole. Two women passing, one just ahead of the other, stepped on the charged ground; the first woman fell to the ground and was unable to move; the second rushed up to lend assistance and as soon as she had come in contact with the charged earth and the woman she attempted to rescue, she, too, fell and was held fast by the current. A third woman seeing the perils of the first two went to their rescue; luckily, for her she stumbled and fell just before her feet came in contact with the earth that seemed to be so charged with electricity, but she fell across the women and was held fast also. The seventh woman had drawn a crowd. An ambulance called, which responded immediately, the ambulance driver typing a rope around his own waist as to be pulled back in the event he should get "stuck," pulled the third, woman, who was still alive, apart from the others and rushed her to a hospital. It is believed that she will recover. It is said that two dogs were killed on the same spot a little later. ASKS GARY CRUSA TO ASSAIL LYNCHING Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y. Aug. 14—The N. A.

On Tuesday, the demonstration and practice work for the teachers were concluded and the children were released until the beginning of the regular session of school, Tuesday, the 18th. On Tuesday also was held a debate on the subject: "Resolved that the Migration of the Colored People from the South has been to the Advantage of the Race." The decision was won by the negative. The final examinations were held on Thursday and Friday, and a general session was held on Saturday at which time the conductor, Prof. B. F. Bowles, made an address, summing up the work of the session and outlining what, in his opinion, the teachers could do, individually, and collectively, to promote their own interests and the best interests of the race, generally. There were other, closing remarks by the other instructors, Prof. E. B. Damerson, and Mrs. Glauca F. Hiley.

LOUIS' FINEST NEGRO UNDERTAKING ESTABLISHMENT, NOW COMPLETED AGE FOURTEEN A. B. B. President, Bear Underdog Co. Mr. A. I. Beal was born in Jackson, Tehn, and at the early age of 90, made up his mind that he would become a man, earning and operating his own business. He began saving his earnings at 14 years of age for this purpose. He came to St. Louis in 1900' and began working at Liggett-Meyer Tobacco Factory. He worked as a hailer at the Hydraulic Brick. During the year of the World's Fair he worked as a waiter in some of the heading labels of this city. He continued to save his money and so strong was his desire to accumulate money not even attend the World's Fair. After the close of the Fair, business being 'died' in St. Louis, he went to Chicago. He worked there for a short time as hotel waiter. He then entered the employment of Marshall Fields and worked as a laborer helping dig the foundation of the 'present' Marshall Field Department Store. His wages were $1.00 per hour. While digging the foundation of one of Chicago's greatest stores, Mr. Beal opened a new store and new hope of some day watching the erection of a building to house his own business. He returned to St. Louis at the end of one year and took up Janitor work. He worked as janitor in some of St. Louis' wealthiest families. Among them were Mr. Martin Lammert, of Lammert Furniture Co. Chas. Ladd, President of Hamilton Brown 'Shoe Co.' Calvess Bros. of Wrought Iron Store, Manufacturing Co.' Lawyer Bainster and Dr. John 'Grants'. His salary as janitor aggregated $25.50 per week. He worked as a janitor for nine years and during this time spent only 15 cents for food. He did chores around the homes and ran rans for the cooks for his food. He was 'very quiet' and his industrious manner gained him friends and the favor of all his employers, who furnished him all of his clothing. He deposited his earnings each week in the Commonwealth Trust Co. and walked to and from the bank to make his deposits. He had $965.50 in this bank when he entered business. Mr. Beal roomed SNOW HILL NORMAL GETS NEW PRINCIPAL SNOW HILL NORMAL GETS NEW PRINCIPAL Associated Negro Press. NEILA, Ma., Aug. 19. — Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute, a school for young colored men and women, located at Snow Hill, Alabama, famed because of the excellent work it has done here in the literal heart of the black belt, as a new principal in the person of Mr. Harry Simpsons. Tuskegee graduate and demonstration agent for the L. S. Department of Agriculture. This school was founded by William E. Edwards, also a Tuskegee graduate, in 1892. After thirty-two years' service, Mr. Edwards' health demands his resignation from active service. Since its most start in a shanty, he has watched its twenty four buildings, covering a space of 1900 acres of land with a total valuation of approximately $140,000 gross. Principal Simms takes up his duties with the heart approval of the Board of Trustees and the good wishes of both the white and colored people of the community. Mr. R. O. Simpson, prominent southern business man, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of this institute, in outlining the attitude of the local white citizens, said among other things, "Some years ago the government sent into our趴st a young man who rode horseback over the hills and valleys of Wilcox County, serving as Farm Demonstrator. This young man was liked and admired by all who knew him. Some months ago the local Board of Trustees and the Northern Group, in looking over the list of colored educators for the principal of Snow Hill Institute, decided that this young man should come to has come with the full indorsement. The Northern Group of Trustees and many other educators of the Negro race. This young man comes to us with the years he died to his experience. He is no stranger and we are glad to have him as the principal of this institution, hope and pray that the people of this community will cooperate with him and give him full "endorsement to cause one man cannot accomplish the work without the indorsement of the people. In response to this, address, Mr. Simms said, "The Snow Hill Institute that you have today would not have been a possibility without the co-operation you gave Mr. Edwards. A greater institution than you now have is possible only with your continued interest and co-operation. The school needs you as never before, and it is an evident fact that you need the school." Further he said, "It is important just now that we form a right attitude toward this work. You are familiar with the passage of a scripture where Moses is commanded to take of his shoes."

But he has not performed a miracle. He has only done what any of the young men of our race may do. He had only a limited education and willing hands to earn his money, but he did what comparatively few of our young of to day have learned to do - Save what he earned. He planned his work and worked out his plan. Mr. Beal in a French Lick Springs, Indiana for a much needed rest, this being his first vacation in eight years. After his stay at the Springs, Mr. Beal will take a special Course in Funeral Directing, which will enable him to reader more efficient service to the public as a funeral director. During the absence of Mr. Beal, the business will be in charge of Miss Beal, who, with the aid of five competent men, will give the same prompt and efficient service. because he was standing on holy ground. If there is any ground in America that should be considered me before the Negro, it is that ground that has been bought by the acquaint laid gifts of countless friends of humanity, and dedicated to the training of Negro youth."

If you will, the 'emotional response which our boys, given our girls, are, making daily to Bullard's diabolic charge that our boys quivered when they faced death 'over there' are, as are war thugs, but people are trying. The courage high among the girls of every age is the simple, fundamental sort; it is but the white side Daniels, the Bullard pastor emulating the great English soldier Philip Sidney, invoked us to tell those who brought succer to 'take care of that little girl first.' The days pass on and a Negro, Tom Loe, careless of the damner inherent in rescuing drowned people saves the lives of thirty-two of his white fellow citizens. In far-off Santa Barbara, where the archeology of a great Indian plays and rests, an earthquake comes and a Negro is the voluntary here. This Negro braves dangers where the ponies awave of the Pacific wash our beloved shores. Daniels died 'within carshof of the Atlantic.' Lee labored in the South, the three of them proving that their courage and resourcefulness were native to the breed, that the thing that saves is a Negro trait wherever you find them. Easter Hill a 12-year old colored girl, saved the lives of many on a Baltimore and other passenger train by discovering danger and giving the proper warning. Two boys, Edward and Langerst Mitchell, just this past week, dove in to the historic Monogahena and loses their lives trying to save Joseph H Waters, a white lawyer, who wants to die. This is the record of the race that Bullard calls cowardly. This is the daily chronicle of the tanners. Is it for glory's sake that this tried race goes daily to death? At what a cost is such glory? It must be glorious to die for those who deny and persecute you. How large might be our measure of devotion in a land of true democracy? After our deeds of valor the individual Negro gets a kindly look of recognition and the virtue of the race is forgotten. Lee saved more than a score of white people, saved their lives and their insurance, companies' money, yet so soon was his valor forgotten that it was with difficulty that enough money was secured to buy him a home. Easter Hill was given a messy one hambred dollars and modified praise THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, AUG. 21, 1925 The City of St. Louis is again reminded of what a wide-awake, honest, business like man of our race can do by concentrated efforts. The above cut is an exact likeness of the remodeled home of Beal Undertaking Company, which has just been completed. The present building has cut-stone and white enameled brick front, French doors and windows which transform it into an edifice of charm and dignity. The building comprises eighteen rooms including a general and private office, a private reception room for the bereaved family, Ladies' and Gents' rooms, casket and storage rooms, a large sanitary morgue and a beautiful Chapel. The newly-equipped chapel has aft windows which cast a soft, gentle light upon the interior, lending a sympathetic air to the room. Besides its front entrance there is a side door, leading from the chapel to the covered driveway by which the attendants may enter the cars protected from inclement weather. The other special feature is the guest Chamber a neatly furnished bed-chamber for the use What price glory? Our glory is gained with the sacrifice of all that most men hold dear. Robbed of all things cherished by the spirit, we carry on, let the tracher slay, the overseer whip; Jim Crow in every way and, because of that very divinity which shapes our ends, glory will still be ours because of the herde sacrifices of our children and our children's children. INTEREST OF CHILDREN SOUGHT IN EFFORTS TO SAVE HOME OF WRITER INTEREST OF CHILDREN SOUGHT IN EFFORTS TO SAVE HOME OF WRITER Hope To Convert South Broadway Home Of Bugene Fields into Library, Children Works Lked By Children Two old time newspaper associates of Eugene Field are in a movement to save the St. Louis home of the poet on South Broadway, as a Library and museum. Action was made necessary by the names of preachers who protest but it is believed that the campaign is sufficiently well launched to insure a successful outcome. John F. Storm, who was market editor of the St. Joseph Gazette when Field was serving as city editor of the paper, and Albert St. Chir, a printer, are the sponsors of the proposal. The Field home would be used as the library and museum and the others would be rented to pay for the uncease of the whole property. An effort is to be made to interest school children ( colored and white) in the project, since Field's poems are known to almost every school child. A curious incident in connection with this historic home is recalled by the present campaign for its preservation. About twenty years ago a tablet proclaiming it Field's birthplace, was placed upon the building with due ceremony. It was unveiled by Mark Twain and the Count de Kochanseen, descendant of the Marqués de Lafayette. Two distinguished visitors to the Louisiana Museum were the author and important moment when the tablet was to be discovered a cab drew up, and from it it attained Roswell M. Field of Chicago, brother of the poet. He stated that while the Field family has lived in the house, the poet was born at another place. Mark Twain remarked about the inaccuracy of much history and pro-ceived with the ceremony. THE BROWN BABIES ARE FIGHTING FOR THE RACE We asked the Brown Babies of the United States to raise $25,000 during 1925. They answer by raising just about that amount in the of out-of-town patrons who have charge of funeral arrangements or a relative, who must spend one or more nights in the city. They have but to notify the office and their transportation to and from the depot and the guest chamber will be furnished them free of charge. The entire arrangements throughout the establishment show much thought and study for the comfort and accommodation of their patrons. The new, modern garage will house sixteen automobiles, all cadillac service. The Beal Undertaking Company stands out as a monument of the race—the natural result of concentrated efforts, patience, courage, honesty, years of toiling and sacrifice, and that bull-dog determination to win. Efficiency and courtesy have been the basis of their success. Mr. Beal started in the undertaking business September 13, 1913, 2726 Lucas Ave., his present location, in a two-story residence, using the first floor for office, chapel and morgue, and the second floor for living quarters. By his untiring efforts and courteous service, with the assistance first seven months. At the same rate they would make it between $40,000 and $50,000 by the end of the year. This deed of the Babies is the biggest single thing any group ever did for the Association in a financial way. Our reports from Baby Contests for the N. A. A. C. P. since January 1, 1925, till July shows $22,663.80 for the Branch and the National Offices, and we have not all of the reports. There are still about 30 contests pending and others will be organized. This, you remember, is the TENTH CRUSADE, and the Crusaders are the Brown Babies. It is the crusade that will not fail, even if other generations of Babies must for ultimate success. The NINTH CRUSADE was waged by the Brown Mothers of these Babies, under the leadership of the late Mary B. Talbert, and it raised about $14,000 for the fight for freedom. The 1925 contests have been truly national, and were held from New England to California—from New England and New Haven to Los Angeles and Seattle. The greatest or these contests were St. Louis, Chicago, then Cleveland with over $1000; then Baltimore and Orange with nearly $200 each; then Detroit with nearly $800; then the following with over $500 each, Kansas City, Mo., New Haven, Conn.; and Springfield ill. and each the little town of Gary, West Na., raised over $400, Port Neches and San Francisco. Contests among grown-ups are now being formed to emulate the example of the Babies. The boy is the father of the man." New York Letter Carrier Fails To Identify Vandals NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 12.—The Richmond County grand jury met Thursday at St. George and examined 23 more witnesses in its investigation of vandalism against the home of Robert Browne, letter carrier, 67 Fairview avenue, Castleton Hill, L. I., who charges a, concerted, effort has been made by white neighbors to drive him out of his home and the neighborhood. None of the witnesses were able to throw any light on who stoned Brown's home, July 17, smashing windows, destroying flower beds and breaking down fences and damaging the premises generally. The grand jury adjourned until Saturday at which time it planned to bring in report of its findings and recommendations. It was the opinion of those who frequent the court that John Doe indictments will be returned.

In 1921, they added to the business a chartered Benevolent Burial Association to which a joining fee of $3.60 per family entitles each member of family to a $100.00 burial. This Association has proven a wonderful success as well as a blessing. It has enabled many families to care for their departed ones who otherwise would not have been able to do so. The Association has paid out $2800.00 in policies. The Beal Undertaking Company will open their West End Establishment, 4229 W. Finney Ave., about October 1, 1925, with all modern conveniences for the accommodation of their West End patrons. Mr. L. V.

She graduated from Alexander Embleminal College in 1914 and passed the required examination to the State License at the Marquette Hotel of this city. 1915 she came to St. Louis at the age of 12 years, from Jackson, Fenn. His wife being an invalid, Mr. Beal sent for his oldest daughter to educate her for his bookkeeper for his future business. Miss Beal is a competent business woman, having entered the undertaking business with her father and has devoted her time ever since to the development and improvement of their business. Her pleasing quiet manner has won for her many friends, both in St. Louis and other cities. Miss Beal stands out prominently an example of what the Negro women of St. Louis are really contributing to our race and to greater St. Louis.

"If we will keep in mind" said the Bishop, "that the Negro does not want philanthropy but justice, that he wants a chance and not charity, we shall have an approach to the subject of race relations that will give us finally an entirely different result to which we have had heretofore." Never say "huge before beauty" to anyone who is really elderly. You can't tell, whether they've passed the line of indifference. ---
