Hall dropped four fours, his skill being fractured in the fall, causing almost instant death. Girl Starts Car Hall, while repairing the elevator in the fatal shift, left the car strolling at the first floor level. He was lying on the floor in the elevator group working, when one of the group of small children was playing in the lobby discovered the open car and she. She was Marie Magnus, who lived with her parents in apartment 42. The curious child's hand fell upon the car controlled she had so often watched the elevator man operate when she rode up or down with her parents. She pressed the lever down and to her glee the car started upward. Hall, seeing the car start and hearing the child's voice, suddenly realized the danger. With but one thought to save the child he sprang up and grabbed a bar under the ascending car. As the car went up he climbed to it shouting a warning to the child.

The car stopped automatically at fifth floor and the little girl stepped out unhurt, unaware that the lawtor had given his Efe in an attempt to save her. Chi. Negro Rabbis Contend-They Are Only Real Jews CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 23—According to a report circulated here last week some Othodox Jews chanced to attend the services held in the Temple of the Gospel of the Kingdom at 1850 West Lake Street here and were amazed to hear the Negro Rabbi declare to the congregation, of several hundred, that they alone were the real Jews. A few weeks ago this congregation came into public attention when Mrs. Elizabeth Miller was brought to trial accused of solitizing funds under false pretences. Mr. David Lazuras and Rabbi Canio Stifom appeared in court in defense of the woman and their cause. It is reported that so convincing was the argument of the rabbis that the girl was released and she and her friends continued their work among the people of Chicago. It is said that services are held in the Temple at night only. During the day the rabbis are out soliciting funds for the maintenance of the temple and securing new members. According to Doorkeeper Dun, Rabbi Lazuras and Stifom came to Chicago a short time ago directly from Jerusalem where they learned the doctrine they are teaching. It is reported that New York City the congregation of several thousand members. The work in Chicago began four months ago and approximately four hundred persons have been converted. It is said that at night the temple is filled with men on one side and women on the other. After the singing of several hymns, the two rabbis who are said to be very eloquent and able speakers deliver sermons laying down the truth to their hearers, and stressing the point that Negroes are the original Jews. It is also reported that a large number of gentle whites endeavor to attend the meetings out of curiosity. Some have even blacked their faces in order to attend the services. POWERLAND, Ore.

Thompson of Detroit, recommended that action be taken to permit the admittance to the order of races of color the world over. The outcome of the recommendation has not yet been reported. CATHOLIC CON. CONDEMN RACE INTOLERANCE Adopts Resolution On Race Relations, And Sympathy For Colored People Who Are Subjected To So Many Injustices. And Denied Constitutional Rights. During the session of the Sixty-ninth General Convention of the Catholic Central Versus of America, presently held at Cleveland, O resolutions were adopted calling for stronger race resolutions, and expressing sympathy for the colored people who are subjected to so many injustices and denied their constitutional right. Under the caption, "Race Relations," the resolution read: "The spirit of the Constitution of our country makes for that true tolerance among our citizens which Christian, justice and charity join on all men. Human pride augmented by other passions, leads to a disregard of the rights of others and the obligations of brotherly love. Differences of race, color, language, wealth and social standing are stressed, leading to mutual dislike, distrust, social mistrust and even enmity and hideous crimes." "Since the category of our country is made up of men of various races and nations, it especially behooves us to guard against the temptation of fostering racial strife, while we should do what lies in our power to promote peace and good will among all men, always ready to actively assist in the solution of our racial problems. Mindful of the fact that one of the first and foremost saints of the New World, St. Peter Claver, devoted his life to the Negroes, and that even ahead of such glorious martyrs as Isaac Jogues, an American Negro was beheaded by the Church, the blessed Martin de Porres, let us in a special manner devote our attention to devoting to the Negro race the rights guaranteed them by the constitution, but made to suffer slights and indignities which deeply offend them. They are our neighbors, both under the law of Christ and that of our country. We therefore wish to press on our members the obligation to labor for amicable race relations and to grant their assistance to all effort to bring them about." RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA BEING RIGIDLY PROBED PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 23. A right investigation of the race conflict in this city first week, in which Tenegos and several police were hurt, is being conducted by the police. The outbreak occurred near Third and Wharton streets, a district that has been the subject of segregation controversies since the arrival of a good number of colored families. Joseph Sallard of 706 S. Eleventh St. who was rescued from the midst of the mobbists by Patrolman Stephen Selamack, has been released from the Mt. Sinai hospital. The patrolman is still suffering from a cut on his head received when struck by a milk bottle hurled by a white. Joseph Jackson, of 1333 South Third street, another colored man who was rescued by the police after a severe benton is recovering. The house from which shots were fired by a colored man to displace the mob has been under constant guard since the disturbance. MOB FOILED BY SHERIFF ASHVILLE, N. C., Sept. 23. While a lynching was being permeated in Mississippi Sunday night, one was barely averted in this state. A crowd of five hundred persons who stormed the Buncombe county jail in search of a Negro arrested on an assault charge was only frustrated, because the prisoner had been snuggled to another city by Sheriff Mitchell just 30 minutes before the mob formed.

THREAT DOES NOT FRIGHTEN EVANGELIST NEWPORT NEWS. Va. Sept. 23.—A colored evangelist, the Key James E. Shepard, who is known as the black Billy Sunday, had his tent meetings somewhat interrupted here last week by the receipt of a men-anding letter from the klan.

More theological, black Billy Sunday has continued his holy meetings as he thinks it so do his Master. INSANE YOUTH IS CLUBBED TO DEATH BY MOB Chained To Tree And Pick Handles Used To Beat His Life Out. Authorities Fall To Arrest Slayers Associated Negro Press MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga, Sept. 23- While White Dixon, inmate of the state sanitarium for insane persons located here, grimmed idiotically at his white captors and quirked in the same fashion, "What you all doing?" he was chained to a tree and beaten to death, near here, Sunday night. Last Friday, Willis, in one of his customary spells of violence, had struck and finally wounded a white nurse at the sanitarium. Knowing that he was insane and therefore not responsible to law or society for his actions, the authorities sent him back to the colony farm Sunday. Sunday night, following the evening services at the various churches, in which the doctrine of "Vengeance is Mine Sailh the Lord," is expounded and the commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill Him" is issued to the Georgians imbued with the spirit of chivalry that permeates the Southland went to the state sanitarium and of course "over-powered" the guards, seized the insane Negro and carried him a short distance, where he was chained to a tree and beaten to death with pick handles. The resounding whackes of the pick handles as they descended upon and crushed the victim's skull and the erie, distressing lies of the insane man, rent the air, strange to say, failed to arrest the people in the neighborhood, or did they attract the attention of the minions of the law, and little surprise was manifest when the lifeless and mutilated body of the Negro was found Monday morning. "Georgia Justler" has been meted out to another Negro and as usual no arrests have been made in spite of the assumption that the guards at the institution, who are sworn to protect the inmates, but who were "over-powered," must have notified the city and county officers immediately of the removal of the inmate. The body was left at the tree, where it was found. The pick handle was found nearby. The corner jury returned a verdict that the Negro man death at the hands of party unknown. No arrests have been made and officers said they had failed to obtain any evidence of the identity of the man who carried the Negro from the colony farm to the place where he was killed. PEOPLES FINANCE CORP. TO HAVE "NEW HOME DAY" Sunday, Sept. 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. has been designated by the directors of the People's Finance Corporation as "New Home Day," at which time stockholders and the public generally will have an opportunity to visit and inspect the new building now in course of construction, from the basement to the fifth floor. In making this arrangement with the builders before the completion of the building, the directors thought that mere passing and momentary steps did not afford adequate opportunity to see just what was really being done on the corner at Market and Jefferson. Therefore New Home Day was suggested to be one afternoon when all may see and inspect, unrestrained, every part of the building. The chauffeurs Club band will furnish music for the passing crowd. There will be no speaking, no formal program, no delays. So when you are ready and stay as long as you please. The director will act as ushers and will be puttaking in showing you through. The band will furnish music from the fifth floor and/orium: A picture of the visitors will be made. RIDICULE PITTSBURGH'S NEGLECT TO PROTECT COLORED RESIDENTS PITTSBURGH. Pa. Sept. 23. The action of the police here in arresting and abusing a highly respected colored family, because the mother of the fire fired a shot into the ground to frighten away white vandals, who attacked her home during her husband's absence. has, bright severe criticism in the Pittsburgh police department The act was considered a lawful lation of duty: "A person has a lawful right to protect people and property from harm and it was evident that written intended to harm lophi. Nevertheless, the pol. allowed those bent on civil doing to escape and arrested and abused ones who were making a brave stand for their rights," said a statement condemning the arrests. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Carter, the parents of two small children, and sister of Mrs Carter, Miss Clara Johnson, victims of the offence, are making a brave fight in making a brave fight in their cozy little home: Duquesne Heights. White nationalists who burned a bury cross on the doorsteps of the Carter's home, damaged the house and caused the family's arrest are being met by cool and courageous spirits. EYE WITNESS STORY OF BURNING OF NEGRO AT STAKE IN MISSISSIPPI FOURTEEN PAGES EYE WITNESS S BURNING OF N STAKE IN M BAD CONDITIONS FOLLOW EXODUS IN S. E. MISSOURI Pemiscot County Forced To Import Hundreds Of Mexi- icans To Save Thousands Of Dollars In Cotton. NEGROES LEFT AFTER DYNAMI TING OF HOMES Other Projects Are Held Up Special Meetings Called To Work Out Solution To The Problem CARUTIERSVILLE, Mo. Sept. 28. Several months ago reports came from Pemisot County of the dymming of Negroes' homes and many other misdramms that were being heaped upon them. Today that same district in southeast Missouri is paving for Negroes to come to its aid. Need Colored Citizens A particular crisis has arisen among the farmers of Pemisot County. They have suddenly discovered that they have a bumper cotton crop, but that those hands that planted and tended such fruitful plants have left abruptly their skillful aid could complete the task. The abuse of the colored people led them to leave Pemisot County in large numbers to seek better environments. As a result, an acute shortage of help has accrued, and there is a danger of a loss of many thousands of dollars in raw cotton. To Import Mexicans Even though thought of prices have been offered for cotton pickers in Pemisot County few colored persons have responded. The situation has got so serious that a mass meet of cotton farmers was called at the courthouse in 4185 city, Saturday. As a last resort, it was decided to import 500 Mexican cotton pickers from Texas. Each farmer will take a number of these pickers and pay their transportation. Other Projects Hindered Not only has the cotton crop here suffered due to the absence of colored workers, but other projects have also felt the need. The building of the concrete road in the county has practically been discontinued, and a government reveting project about miles north of Caracas has been greatly impeded. The shortage of help has forced the price of cotton seed to $2.35 a hundred pounds of seed cotton, which many of the planters consider a prohibitive price. Nevertheless, Mexico seems the closest market for help for Pemex of County. "THAIS," AT THE ODEON Drama-Classic, With Clarence E.

NEW ALBANY, Miss., Sept. 23.—I watched a negro burned at a Rocky Ford, Miss. Sunday afternoon. I watched an angry mob chain him to an iron stake, watched them pile wood around his helpless body. I watched them pour gasoline on this wood. And I watched three men set this wood on fire. So wrote J. L. a correspondent for the "Memphis Schmidt" in giving an account of the lynching of L. Q. Ivey, a colored lumberjack near here last Sunday afternoon. Vickim Prayed "I stood in a crowd of 600 people as the flames gradually crept nearer and nearer to the helpless negro. I watched the blaze climb higher and higher, without mercy. I heard his cry of agony as the flames reached him and sat his clothing on fire." "O. God, Oh. God!" he shouted, didn't do it. Haye mercy. He leaped higher. The negro trugged. He kicked him. From his foot he kicked it held his waist and neck against the iron post that was becoming red with the intense heat. "Have mercy, I didn't do it," he shouted again. "You should have thought of this before," someone shouted from the crowd. There was an instant of silence. Then several voices raced in agreement. Nowhere was there a sign of mercy among the men of the mob no matter how they seemed to regret the horrible thing they had done. The necromachic had supposedly sinned against their race, and he died a death of torture. "Soon he became quiet. There was no doubt that he was dead. The hames jumped and leaped above his head. An odor of burning flesh reached my nostrils. I felt suddenly sickened. Through the leaping blaze I could see the negro sagging and supported by the chains. "Woman speculator " "The getting was a little sawmill. The crowd stood on a huge pile of sawdust and the negro's death prow was in a small gulley beside it. They calmly watched the flames leap and dance. There was no talking now, everything was silent. " "When the first odor of baking flesh reached the mob there was a slight stir. Several men moved nervously. " "Let's finish it up," someone said. "Instantly about 12 men stepped from the crowd. They piled wood on high. The negro was already blazing, but more wood was piled on the flames. They jumped higher, and higher. Nothing could be seen now for the blaze encircled everything. " "Then the crowd walked away. In the vanguard of the mob I noticed a woman. She seemed to be rather young, yet it is hard to tell about women of her type; strong and healthy, apparently a woman of the country. She walked with a firm even stride. She was beating a way. Crime " "The crowd walked slowly away, I'm hungry, someone complained. Let's get something to eat." I'm hungry, too; said another. "We'll have to go to New Albany, someone said. We've bought out all the food in the Rocky Ford stores." "We might go to Myrtle," said another. "The crowd loaded into automobiles. The negro, who was still chained to the white hot stake with the red-blue flames leaping about him, was forgotten. The crowd was hungry and was going in search of food. Girl Failed to Identify "A white girl was criminally assaulted in a pea field Friday morning by an unknown negro. He lay in the woods. The police sheriff began a case and captured L. Q.

It was in regards to the Release of Beauty Culturist League, League 29. It was stated that Minek K.

The delegates who were elected and attended this convention were Mun M. Branford, 2012 Pine, and Mune I. D. Dukes of 3014 Pine.

If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him, speak well of him, stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man, I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of the time. I would give him undivided service or none. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must wiltfully condemn and eternally disparage, why, resign your position, and when you are outside damn, to your heart's content. But I pray for you, so long as you are part of an institution do not condemn it. Not that you will injure the institution—not that—but when you disparage the content of which you are a part, you dismantle yourself. And don't forget: "I forgot" won't do in business.

At a bridge an attempt was made to block the road, but it failed. The officer's car sped on, outside the city limits of Myrtle the officers found two cars across the road. They were forced to stop. The mob surrounded them. Several pistols were drawn but no shots were fired. The caravan of cars started toward Rocky Ford. Saved Pals "At Rocky Ford they took the negro to a desert barn, where he refused to confess. He refusal. He was beaten, suspended from a rafter, by the neck and mutilated with fire and kalves, but still he maintained his innocence. "Satisfied of his guilt, the mob took him to the sawmill. While men were driving the iron post in the ground to which they were to chain the negro, he was taken to the top of the sawdust pile. "The negro stood on top of the pile with his head bent and prayed. Then he was asked if he wished to confess. He admitted to the crowd that he was guilty and confessioning told the details of the crime. "Then he was chained to the stake and the fire lighted. He screamed twice, denying his guilt, and then he was stilled. "The mob talked, of burning three other negroes whom Ivy had implicated, in his confession before the blaze was lighted. But Ivy's horrible death apparently satisfied it, and no further lynchings were attempted." Ivy is believed to have confessed, after much torture, when he saw there was no way out of death, in order to save the three other Negroes who were held like himself in connection with the crime. In his said confession he is alleged to have taken the entire blame for the crime. Governor Scores Mob Gov. Whitfield on Monday issued a signed statement against the launch.

The Fate Of the Disobedient Son Chapter 4 It was in a lounge on Broadway in New York that John met the catastrophic of his "brightlight" enjoyments. He was seated at the table with some young ladies when a live selection of young ladies and a few men entered as hosts and hostesses. He was informed by the waiter that the evening was to be spent in John Heathwood's honor, and that the program would pour out of music, dancing, song, thinking and toasts. The guests which had just centered were Misses Dumante, Good Time, Lightingers, Mr. Jazz and Mr. Tin. Each of the guests introduced himself, giving an introduction which corresponded with his name. Miss Dumaine introduced many glamours not known to other guests. Miss Good Times assisted all of enjoyable evening with her entertainment. Miss Dumaine is pictured that her fingers moved lightly over everything she touched; while Mr. Jazzy was the jazz music of the occasion, and last, was Mr. Gin, who was perpetually in taxedable. Mr. Gin, of course, concluded "With a rebuking, stinging" He said. At Johns command, the waiter in five bottles of wine and two bottles of campaign. The campaign was preferable for Miss Lightingfinger, who had beginged it instead of wine. In the midst of the enjoyment, eating, drinking and toasting, a shot was tired among the guests. Everyone became excited and a majority of them lied from the bathroom through the windows. The waiter excitedly entered and bagged everyone to leave because a man had been killed and two bodies wounded, and the police were raiding Broadway. "Please hurry, and save yourselves from disarray," he said. Everyone hurried from the rooftop except John and Miss Lightingfinger. John was too intoxicated to help himself, and in a protest to be helping him the moved slowly across the floor. Haltaway to the door John became uncontrollable and refused to go a step further. Miss Lightingers dropped him in a chair and said she was going because the police were coming. Before leaving, however, she relieved him of two hundred thirty-five dollars. The waiter, coming back into the buffroom found John there along and put him into a closet in the back room to hide him from the police. During the search he was overlooked, and upon basking soler (somewhat) he left the buffroom. Read the conclusion next week. (Chapter 5) ORATORICAL CONTEST 7 What Shall the Harvest Be? We who have passed through gren- mary school remember our years and the happy times they have held some mischievous punks, thieves, good friendships made, the sympa- thetic leadership of our teachers. It is also good to know that our memori- ies are happy ones. If we overcome latex tasks that are set before us aid the wholesome back ground of our "good times." it be comes a natural part of ourselves. Then we may have a dependable equi- ment for the future into which we start so early. It is to our teachers we owe this development. I school we have gone to our teacher with receptive minds, fallow fields ready for sowing. In them she has planted the seeds of knowledge and that understanding which is so much more than knowledge alone. As she spreads out before us the fundamentals of education, we not only absorbed facts, but have put ourselves more and more in accord with the wide world. We should strive to attain character it would include the qualities of industry, honesty, courage and self-shelfiness. It was Jasperian Frank Linus who said "Short makes all things difficult, our industry all easy." By his faithful adherence to that then, he leaves from a poor and friendless stranger in old Philadelphia to a chief pillow in the countryside his country, from a simple workman to a stalagmine whose industry with companions the respect of this world. In industry cannot make Franklin of all of us, but it can so far on the road to successful careers. The first step toward greatness is to be honest according to the proverb "Honesty is the best policy." Not honest because it is in a motto, but because it is our desire to be so. The most illuminating stories of Abraham Lincoln as a boy deals with his high sense of honesty. Courage should be the attribute of every American. It was the dominating virtue of the pioneers. Courage won the American Revolution. It was a part of the character of every man who believed in fortune or fortune. This does not mean physical courage alone, but the courage that is represented in sustained efforts as well. It is courage that makes man trustful, that makes man just, that makes him free from his duties in face of obstacles. If men and women do not have this virtue, they cannot succeed in any branch of life. Unselfishness is a necessary requirement for the man or woman who wishes to be of value to his or her community. We must sacrifice ourselves if we hope to achieve anything. We cannot gain without giving. The pioneers in America gave their lives to counter the wilderness, but they gained for us the most valuable country in the world. The men who signed the Declaration of Independence were risking their lives and not for themselves but for the good of the future generations. The soldiers who died at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, or in France were not seeking material reward. They knew the success of this nation depended on their sacrifice. If we are to do our share of ser- vice in this world, we must be prepared to make sacrifices, to be unselfish. If we strive earnestly to develop the four virtues—industry, honesty, courage and unselfishness—those who have helped us will feel that their work has not been in vain, and that the harvest is worthy.

C., Sept. 13 — When one of Raleigh's alert police officers discovered Graham Humphries, white, seated in an automobile, amorously kissing Miss Rosella Fralin; also while he arrested the couple and had then carried to the city jail. They were given a hearing before Judge W. C. Harris, who although there is no statute forbidding public kissing, held that the couple had committed a misdemeanor, no matter if the girl was willing and fined the young man ten dollars. Honesty seems to bar a man from getting an office where he can use it. AT PORO COLLEGE Ohio Delegation Arrives at Poro Devotional Services On Train Thirty-two Poro Representatives from Cincinnati and Cleveland, under the leadership of Mrs. Vlianan Potee, a Poro Demonstrator, arrived at Poro College Monday morning to spend ten days reviewing the work of the Poro System: Every Poro Representative has the privilege of coming to the College once a year and staying, free of charge, for ten days in order that she may become more proficient in her work and at the same time learn more about the institution of which she is apart.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTITUTION A MENACE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTITUTION A MENACE NEW YORK, Sept. 23—Joseph T. Cashman, and opponent of radicalism in America, addressed the Exchange Club of New York at a luncheon in the Hotel McAlpin, Saturday. He spoke on the Constitution and its importance to American citizens. "It is a sharp commentary on the intelligence of the people of the United States that they know so little about their Government," he said, "for few of the people of this country understand the Constitution and what it has done for them since its adoption 138 years ago; today. Even the leaders in Government do not understand it. "The principal thought connected with the Constitution is the safeguarding of human rights, the freedom of the individual and the establishment of a Government which may be changed, when the necessity arises, by legal means only." "In the first seventy-five years after the adopting of the Constitution, the people had a fair knowledge and understanding of it. It is a noteworthy fact that in this period the people let well enough alone. With the exception of the Bill of Rights, contained in the first eleven amendments, and the changes in the method of electing the President and Vice-president, the Constitution remained as it had been adopted. After the Civil War, The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were adopted. And since that time, as the racial complexion of our population has changed, there has been a constantly decreasing understanding of the Constitution." After clinging figures on the percentage of citizens who vote Mr. Cashman said they showed clearly "the lack of interest our people have in their Government," and that "we are rapidly drifting into a very dangerous condition, for this Government is absolutely dependent on the people for its efficiency." $450,000 A.

Doubleheaders May Be Necessary To Get Out Of Way Of World Series. The St.-Louis Stars defeated the Kansas City Monarchs in two of the first three hard contest for the National League championship and in doing so, upset the dope of most of the wildeacres of baseball. Many writers and critics were loath to concede the St. Louis boys more than a subtle victory in the series. Manager Taylor's youngsters came near making it three straight. If Barnes had not had an off day in throwing, and Bobo had not been caught happing off first in Saturday's game there might have been another tale to tell. As it was, the Monarchs were victors Saturday to 8 to 6, Good pitching by Davs on Sunday, backed by brilliant defensive and a smashing offensive by his teammates enabled the St. Louis club to win 6 to 3. Rain prevented the third game until Wednesday when Brown held the champions to five hits and won a 3 to 2 dudder. Disappointment Mara Opening The fans were wrap in the thrill of championship preliminaries on Saturday and with subdued excitement were waiting the call of 'play ball' when two white umpires walked out on the field to dampen their ardor and marr an otherwise perfect day. It had been their overwhelming hope that colored umpires would officiate, and the change to white was disappointing. The officials: Castello and Moore brought from Chicago, were greeted with hisses, boos and catcalls, but the start of the game put a check on their ire and nothing further unpleasant happened. The umpliring was almost fault less and there was no cause for complaint on decisions. The Stars and Monarchs left for Chicago Friday where they are scheduled to play on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The date for the opening of the World Series, Thursday, October 1, bids fair to conflict with the finishing of the league series and it may be necessary for the present contestants to play one or more doubleheaders to get out of the way. After the three games, the team will decide where to play the remaining games. Either Kansas City or Chicago will probably be selected. The Monarchs were victors in the first game 8 to 6. The champions started, off in the first iming with two runs. Allen got a hit over base and base and secreted a Moore drove the ball to the right field corner for three bases. Moore went over the plate while Watts was throwing Joseph out at first. The Monarchs scored again in the third and fourth. Jenny getting a home run via the car barn in the third; and Mothel, who had walked, scoring in the fourth when Wells nuffed Hawkins' grounder. The Stars brightened up in their half of the fourth and got three runs. Wells and Bobo singled, but Bobo was caught napping of first. Barnes long drive got away from McNair and it went for a triple, scoring Wells. Crecy got his base on halls and Russell sent in two more runs with a double to right. The Stars tied the scout in the sixth when Wells sent one on top of the barn for the circuit. The Monarchs came back in the seventh and took the lead when Johnston's double drove in, Duncan; but the Stars tied it up in their half when Redus tripped and went home on Watts' grounder. The eighth inning saw the Monarchs take the lead that won for the game. Two runs were made on Alen's single hit by Moore's "car ban" however, and made a run on Bell's single and good base running, which enabled him to score on Bob's hit over second. The clubs went into the ninth inning 7 to 6 in favor of the monarchs Duncan, first up, for a home run, also via the barn, for the Monarchs. Russell Redus and Murray went out in succession in the St. Louis half and the game ended 8 to 6. Watts' fielding was a feature of the game. He scooped a fine drive off Johnston's but that brought the crowd to it feet. Russell also made a leaping catch of Moore's fly in right field. Alice hit McNair. Stolen bases—Allen (2), Mothel McNair. Double plays—Duncan to Allen. Moore to Allen to Hawkins; Allen to Hawkins: Watts to Bobo; Wells to Watts to Bobo. Wild pitch—Rogan. Hit with pitched ball—By Miller. Rogan.

Stars Triumph Sunday The Stars took the second game from the Monarchs, Sunday, 6 to 3, and evened the series. Davis pitched a killing ball, allowing only one hit from the first to the sixth innning. Only five hits were made off his drevery, the entire game before retreated, to stop a rally, in the ninth. The Kansas City pitchers were not so effective. Dean was found for seven hits, meeting four runs, and one hit in the fifth; who retreated the side after walking Russell and being hit by Redus Drake 'took the mound in the sixth and held the Stars safe after Bob singled to right and drove in Belt Kansas. City rallied, in the eighth when Drake put the ball on the car barn for a circuit, and, in the ninth when Hawkins' two baggers tallied Morlet. The game was one of the hardest played on the local grounds and the holders were constantly pulling the sensational. Jim Bell was the bright star and his fielding robbed the champions of several extra base hits. Boo had a perfect day, getting a double and two singles out of three times up. Rogan, batting for Mendez in the sixth, drew a pass and was in enough to break the line of goose eggs his club was gathering, when Mooro singled through second. The Box Score # The BoB.

This game had been delayed two days on account of rain. Brown, for the Stars, and W. Bell, for the Mounchars, engaged in a pitcher's battle, the former allowing five hits and the latter four hits. Kansas City was the first to score, getting a run in the first inning on a base on balls to Johnston, a sacrifice, and errors by Wattie and Bobeo. St. Louis tied the score in their half of the fourth, when Crennay connected, for the Stars' first bit of the game, with a home run to the barn top. The Stars added a second run in their half of the fifth, on a single by Retius, a wild pitch, and J. Bell's double against the car barn. Kansas City knotted the count, at two all, in their half of the seventh. Swatt led off by being hit by a pitched ball. A single by Duncan, a pass to W. Bell, tilted the toss. Johnston fled out to J. Bell in short center, who made a perfect throw to Murray, killing Swatt at the plate trying to score after the catch. After, however, came through with a single to right, which scored Duncan. The Stars scored their winning run in the eighth when J. Bell led off with a single advanced to second on Weil's sacrifice and scored when Moore missed up Bobo's grounder and threw his first.

BASEBALL FANS RESENT USE OF WHITE UMPIRES AT ST. L. STAKS PARK BASEBALL FANS RESENT USE OF WHITE UMPIRES AT ST. L. STAKS PARK BV DR JAS E WHITE Last Saturday afternoon I was one fan among about three thousand officers who went to see the Stars play the McNearches of Kansas City, at the Stars' home park this city. Accompanying me were two attorneys, a druggist, a N. Y. M. C. A. staff member. We were eager to see the contest which was expected to be keen for the championship of the National Negro League was at six between two teams in the decryption great and the high as we rushed to the gate to buy tickets, to be on time for the game before the impulse called "play ball." Not even the unexpected increase in the admission price could dampen our enthusiasm. Even the momentary disappointment at the small crowd for the occasion was soon lost in the fuel that it enabled us to secure good seats for the game. As we sat there and watched our dogs in clean uniforms we were thrilled to see them in action, full of energy and full of confidence, and ready to go to the crowd of four and hope and thankful in words of confidence for the home team, enthusiasm seemed to be contagious and to run riot. It was evident that they were out to see and to help the home team win. Then suddenly there fell on the crowd an unlucky hush, there was a gasp as for breath one could sense that something had happened or was wrong. Then all eyes were turned toward the "drug" from where two white men were emerging in uniform of umpires. Then as if by a signal, simultaneously there was hissing, catches housing and then the disapproved and disgust at what they realized, for these two white men were to impure the game, a game between two Negro clubs, in a Negro Park and where ninety-nine out of every hundred persons, who had paid to see the game were colored. The writer was thrilled as he never was before to see a crowd so aroused and indignant over, what they fell was a deep insult to their manhood and race pride. The atmosphere was charged and tense with feeling of infared humiliation, and they voiced it by yelling: "take them out, we want our own coerced unpriests, they are not ours, we want one with an ounce of pride and manhood could not help but admire the honorable stand these fans took. When one stops, to think what it is all about, it does make him reflect seriously on the situation. Here in St. Louis, Mo. of 100,000 Negroes, where race pride and loyalty is being preached and taught, by our business men and leaders from the pulpits and just when our group is beginning to appreciate what it means to come together and stand up for things that are upholding and upholding. To think that this foundation and the progress that took so long to make would be shaken and undermined and by some of our own business men and those we were not only permitting but offering this insult to every decent and loyal Race loving individual of our group here, by bringing out white unpipes to oblige, is rather disinterested to say the least. Why is it done? Perhaps the defense—indeed, if those in authority feel that the public in general and the fans in particular, are entitled to an explanation—will be that the colored umplies are not efficient. That is the same cry and excuse we have been using in the past, and the unwillingby of passing consideration, not only by every thinking Negro, but even by the owners of the base ball team in question, by saying that we must help one another by giving them a chance. The Negro in the Grocery and Dry goods business could not compete with others if we did not patronize them; the Negro Lawyer was not a victim of this, and become more skilled if we did not give them an opportunity by employing their services; our Negri business men and institutions would not grow and develop and succeed, unless we helped them by our contributions and cooperation. Then how and why is the same nat true with our umplies? We must help them in the first place, my first time to see or hour of a colored umplie officiating at a league game where both teams were white. No matter how efficient he may be, certainly they are not going to let him do so to touch him the game. Then how in the..., high heaven is he to learn? Our duty is plain. As the best white umplies have been at them, let us train them more effectively. Perhaps another defense for this insult heaped upon us will be that Mr. Andrew, Foster, better known as "Rube", is to blame as president of the National Negro League. Well, from past experience, we know well that backs it has built for carrying heavy loads but it would be manifestly too cowardly a thing to hide behind or unload on him this instance for it would be like adding insult to injury to admit that one man in Chicago or any place can and should be guilty of 100,000 Nerries in St. Louis regulating their sentiments and customs. It is rather like the Southern white man in France during the World War, trying to tell the French people how to treat the Negro. The French presented the interference as much as the insult the Southeasters offered in trying to change their policies and attitude toward us. No individual, regardless of the position he may happen to be holding, can be bigger than, and ignore, with whom he is dealing; he must yield to the sentiment and customs of those people—that is if he is sensible and hopes to be successful in his efforts. Now there may be many reasons why this thing happened also various excuses and perhaps some of which may seem justifiable, but after the experience of last Saturday at the ball park, there should be no sense reason to doubt or any excuse to offer why the same thing would ever happen. If the owners of the ball park among the owners of the Sharp those buff team who has not enough vision to use it and enough common sense to realize—even if from a selfish point of view—that it would be just plain good business not to repeat that offense, then the loyal fans in particular and our group in general ought and I believe will not stand for continued rejection of those humiliations and will show it by their failure to support the team and enrich the own things in the games whenever the team is to be official white umpies to the exclusion of our own, unless there is a good and sufficient reason for same. We are with the Stars and their owners and hoping they will win the pennant race and the world's championship too, but if winning the pennant means that some of the world's series games, will be played here and with white gimpress offending, we would rather see them lose the pennant race while they are away and we retain our self respect at home. At heart a loyal fan but foremost a Race man. FOOTBALL SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL The Summer High School football team is reported coming along. In fine shape Coach Rockett is very much encouraged over the new candidates. Forty-three men answered the first call. The old letter men, who returned are: McCray, H. Green, M. Green, Baker, Gordon, Wilson, Rankin, Rhodes, Parker, Quinton. With so many veterans back, and an abundant supply of rookies, it is expected that Sumner will have a great team this year. Much is anticipated from Blackshear and Homer, two new tackles, Graham, Parker, Callendar and Pruttt are others that look good. The first scrimmage will be held in the fall of 1925-1926 schedule is the heaviest that Sumner has undertaken in years. The schedule includes: Lincoln University, Lincoln High School, East St. Louis, Douglas High School, Evergreen School, Lincoln School, St. Charles, and Lincoln High School, Kansas City LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo. With the first football game to be played October 2 L. U. football practice was begun Tuesday September 22 with A. E. Morris as head coach. Early in September Coach Morris issued a call for football candidates. Tuesday, September 22. Sixty-three candidates including fourteen letter men responded on the field. Sixty-three candidates are the best recruit in the school. Prospects for good teams are very promising. Much time of the first week will be devoted to grass drill, blocking, tackling and handling the ball. This is Coach Morris' first year at Lincoln but he has with him that Michigan U system which means a great year at Lincoln University for football. Coach Morris has had frequent conference, with Captain Robinson concerning plans of the coming season. Lincoln University is proud of having Coach Morris as head of the quad of '25. Being the only Neyro in his class to take football coaching under Fleiding Yost, one of the world's foremost mentors. Followers of the team will be interested to know that the following "vets among other letter men" in L. U. Capt. Robinson, Brooks, Mason, Gantt, Woods, Brown, Alth, Smith, Kelly and Mills. There will be "pep" on the old campus from now until the Lincoln Nigers have put the yoke on the yoke. Thankgiving Day next in Kansas City WILBERFORCE By Wilberforce Press Service Wilberforce, Ohio — Football pros. specify at Wilberforce for the coming season look very bright and promising. Wilberforce is confident that its own will be held against all opponents. Such tennis are on its schedule as Howard, Lincoln, Morris Brown of Atlanta, Ga., Simmons and West Virginia. Four players have been lost to the team in the mention of end. held by Seeger Brown, captain of last win readily be filled by King Cullen, former Atlanta University end, or Country Lewis of basketball fame With the line intact to the exception of left guard which may be a little weak, the back field comes up for question. With the shifting of Wu Fang to the backfield, Wilberforce can boost of a better and a more powerful backfield of any colored school in the country with no exceptions to a lot of white schools Tuskegee Inst., Alabama — Two weeks of daily grind on Washington field has worked wonders in the Crismon team. Promising new material has shown up on the gridiron and several old men have joined the squad. The coaching staff has been completed by the addition of George W. Goodwin one of Tuskegee's greatest fullbacks, who will lead the team in the next season. T. C. Myers, who has entered Columbia University; J. E. Fields, former varsity tackle of the Wilberforce University team, will handle the reserve material, and Edward L. Pabstor of Hampton Times twice assist John Brown, former Virginia Union star, with the linc. Brown has been appointed assistant to Cleve L. Abbott, head coach. The new men who have joined the squad are: Prater, Taylor, Crawford, Gilder, Kirkland, Bibb Palmer, Shanklin, Adams, and Willis. The team continues to loom above mediocrity. The line has been strengthened by the return of Kitchen captain of the 1923 team: Duncan, end, captain of the 1924 champions, and William Harris of Chicago, Illinois, the driving tackle of the 1923 team. Faulkner, who was slightly ill in the early season has sufficiently recovered, and Mr. Kentucky improvement is noted in his kicking and at this time he is out-distancing Stevenson. Tuskegee's triple-threat man. The opening game, on September 26, will be played with the strong 24th Infantry team of Ft. Benning, Georgia, in the $50,000,000 Alumni Bowl. Captain Eberlee, U. S. Army, is a graduate of the University of Washington, and who was of Glenn Boling's famous halfbacks, is coaching the army team. He has a record of never having played on a team that lost and he boasts of the fact that the teams he has coached have always won. HOWARD Washington, D. C.—A squad of over forty men, including a number of the veterans of last year reported to Coach Watson Monday, Sept. 14th. Many new prospects from the leading high schools of the country have reported and are showing wonderful progress in the workouts. Until college opens, October 1st, Coach Watson is to hold daily workouts of the most rigorous kind in order to get his men in condition for the season's big program of games. No time is being lost and no effort is spared by the Coach and his assistant, Charlie West, for Coach Washington and Jefferson, for to assure this year we have more formidable football machine than those of With the passing of Priestley, star center of the past two seasons, the coaches are eager to develop several men for this position. It is gratifying to note the progress made by Kelly, Martin and Burrell, all of whom played play positions in former seasons. Most of the veterans of the past years were among candidates last week. Among them, Captain Long, Joe Dodson, Harry Bright, Lester Braden and Bill Mconey. MOREHOUSE Fall practice started Saturday, the 19th. The rookies came out strong and Coach Harvey is trying hard to put the old pop into the gang; but it seems the boys are affecting the boys. They just don't seem to put the fight in if that they should. Anyway, we'll hope for the best. The new locker and shower room has been completed and - we don't need to add that they are great. The fellows will find them much more convenient than the old ones in Graves and about 100 feet of the old bunch is coming back. "Red" Williams, the big varsity center, was jald up last season in the Benedict game with a badly injured knee, and won't be able to stand much rough stuff this season, but the plucky sub Shegman, fool his place and the HKH a veteran and year-Sherman is unhappy the best man in view for the position of snapper-back. Tondee, one of the famous 'Horsemen,' had a broken ankle from baseball practice, and won't be able to come out this year. This severe loss to the HKH because Tondee is especially valuable man for playing the ends. His end always netted a gain and the team will be, considerably handicapped by his present inability. All the rookies 'Horsenice' are back and rarin' to go. Clark, Ariel Rogers and Walker were all on the campus two weeks before school opened getting in form for the season. Star and Allen will show up later and report for the ends, and "Key West" Irving and Cooke are expected to take their old positions in the fackles. It is doubtful as to who will hold down the guards. There are so many big men managing the rookies, as yet who are selected, but Lattimer and Dooley seem to have a fighting chance. Without a doubt, Scott will sell out signals, again this year, and Dago will certainly keep the old full-back going tomorrow.

That all bred men are well up against men mports was evidenced by the achievement of Fred F. Schutz. S2S Rhode Island street in winning the 1925 Herald and Examiner Babe Ruth contest. We will see the world's series, as the guest of The Chicago Herald and Examiner as a reward for his having competed successfully against a field of more than 25,000 who attempted to match their knowledge of major league baseball players with that of Babe Ruth. He identified with that picked by Ruth. His accompanying fifty words of explanation for his choices were snappy and to the point. A HOME RUN THAT WAS NOT A HOME RUN A HOME RUN THAT WAS NOT A HOME RUN BALTIMORE, Sept. 18. — One of the rare plays that are seldom witnessed by the baseball fans came up in the seventh inning of the second contest between the Baltimore Black Sox and the Cuban Stars at Maryland Park. The play gave the Black Sox both ends of the double-header and prevented the Cubans from tying the count. Having won the first game by the score of 7 to 6, the Black Sox were leading by the score of 5 to 2 in a game that was to be seven innings by agreement. With two men re-tired, Portoundo was on third base and Baro on first base. The home run into the right field stand and with two men already on the paths the score was virtually tied. Instead of going straight to the plate Portoundo loitered on the base line and picked up Dihigo's bat. Apparently unconscious of the fact that Portoundo had not touched the plate, Baro jogged up to the base line and touched both bases ahead of Portoundo. Umpire Shewll ruled Baro out and the game ended without the Cubans scoring a run in the last inning. This is the first time in the history of the league that a home run has been hit and no run scored. Evidently peeved by his part in the gross error and chided by Julian Rolo, the Baltimore Baro had no blows after the game and were both taken into custody by the police. Wilson added spice to the eventful day by too vigorously pro- testing one of Umpire Mullen's aides who was banished from the first fray. COMMERCE, Mo, Sunday, Sept. 20—The White/Sox and West End Boys Baseball clubs were tied 4 to 4 in the sixth innings today. The same teams will play at Commerce again next Sunday, September 27. NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Lieut.

MGR THE VALUE OF A FREE EMPLOY MENT BUREAU One Year $2.00 Six Months 1.25 Three Months 75 Single Copy .05 St. Louis is one of the many cities throughout the country which enjoys the advantage of a Free Employment Bureau for its colored citizens. Such Bureaus are located primarily throughout the large industrial centers and promoted by the Urban League or similar organizations. Their value to community is inestimable, particularly in South. It has played such an important part in the increase of Negro Urban population. Entered as second-class matter April 6, 1912 at the Post Office at Saint Louis, Missouri, under the act of March 3, 1870.

SCHOOLS—STUDENTS—OBJECTS September is the month for the schools, both public and private, to open. Schools, colleges and universities all have the same object—the determination to light and eliminate ignorance. To the stranger arriving in town without any connection whatsoever with family, friends, or other ties the knowledge that there is a place where he can go and receive warm and courteous treatment, as well. As direction to help him find himself in his new location is comforting. For instance, John Blank arrives in St. Louis. He is directed to the Urban League Free Employment Bureau where he is given a job together with family and friends. How to locate in St. Louis. He is asked to make connections with the church and be steady on his job, save his money and he is thus headed toward making himself a valued citizen in the community. private, to open. Schools, colleges and universities all have the same object—the determination to light and eliminate ignorance. Students in attending school have only one thing to lose—ignorance. The public schools, where the fundamentals of education are taught, are free, the books are furnished free, yet, there are any number of children, even in St. Louis, who are not attending school. The rase bas to touch at, stake for the parents to permit their childre to run the streets while school is in session and the demand tomorrow will make striving it to happen. Is it possible to secure a larger and more regular attendance? People who failed to attend school in their earlier life, have the opportunity offered by the night schools. With an unlapping determination to improve one's self, there is nothing which that person cannot accomplish. And too, there is the home study-course now being offered in every vocation. Therefore, a definite program may be obtained in education by one method or another. Another John Blank arrives in town, perhaps with some money, in his pockets. He "hunts a job" until his money runs out and finally my be forced to apply to some relief agency for or perhaps him and his family until he locate a job. Just what might happen in the interim is not easily calculated. As soon as possible parents should help their children to determine the object of their going to school. This should be done with intelligence, not with a dogmatic decision on the part of the parent to make of the child what they want it to be, without taking info-consideration the child's natural ability and inherent qualities. As soon as this decision is made every effort should lend to that accomplishment. It will thus be seen that in the placing of over 10,000 people during the past two years the Free Employment Bureau of the Urbann League of St. Louis is rendering a very valuable service to the community. Without such service the amount necessary to feed for families undoubtedly would be increased accompanied by a probable increase in crime, due to the desperateness of the situation faced by a man without money or friends. D'Isareli Said: "The secret of success in a man's life, as for him to be ready when the opportunity comes." We are braching out, more and more, in the economic and commercial fields. Our young men and women would find it quite advantageous to prepare themselves for a definite work, whether there is an opportunity in that particular line or not. By the time they finish their preparation there may be an opening and if there is not, then like Napoleon, when faced with the supposed impassable mountain, said: "I will find a way or make one." With their specific training they can find a place or make one. Nor is the activity of this Department of the Urban League work continued to the placement of men and women in jobs. Through the means of heart-to-heart talks in the Employer-workers are urged to be punctual, regular and efficient in their work and to hold to the standard of the Negro in industry. Pointers on health and general welfare are given to the applicants. The progress of the race demands special trained men and women who can find a place or make one. Fred Douglass made his place when the odds were against him far more than any young man or woman face now or may face in the future. Booker T. Washington made his place in the industrial educational field and attracted the world to Tuskegee. Prof. Geo W. Carver prepared himself and has made his place secure in chemical agriculture, and has given to the world more information on the value and benefit of the peanut and sweet potato than any other human ever knew. Junius Groves made his way to a Kansas farm and there heralded his name to the world as "The Potato King." Anthony Overton conceived the idea of making pure baking powders and other household necessities and started his "Hygiene" family about twenty years ago in Kansas City. Today he has a large four-story building in Chicago, which houses his factory, a national bank, of which he is the president and a life insurance company which he also heads. Fifteen years ago, Hehian Perry started the first old line legal reserve insurance company among Negroes. Today, there are more than a dozen of these companies doing business in this country with more than $250,000,000 of insurance in force. Out in the Indian Territory a young school teacher decided that he would drop teaching and enter the commercial field. With $1,500 and an idea, T.-J. Elliott opened his gents furnishing and shoe store in a room about forty feet long. Today his store occupies a room 55x120 feet, in a three-story brick building which he owns. These men have made their way in different lines and should open our minds to the wonderful possibilities that await our men and women who will prepare themselves for specific work. There is the manufacturing field untouch; the radio, electricity, cotton, furniture and food production offer unlimited fields. Thousands of retail opportunities are in every large city. May the young people decide now on their field of effort so when the time comes to graduate they can enter their chosen work and soon make their way. The other side of the placement work is the smoothing out of many difficulties between employers and employees which are cleared through the Employment Department when requests are made for help. Oftimes difficulties which would eliminate colored workers from positions are overcome through the efforts of the Employment Secretary in urging the employer to be fair in his judgment and not allow his attitudes and actions to be prejudiced by occasional disappointments in a prospective worker. These are some of the considerations of the value of a Free Employment service as rendered by the Urban League through its Employment Department here in St. Louis. Their value to the community in the improvement of race relations is investigable. SCHOOL FOR DEFECTIVE CHILDREN IS NOW OPEN By Mary A. Newman, Neighborhood Secretary, Urban League To anyone educated in the typical one-room country school house or even the usual city school, a step into the charles Henry Turner School on Kensington avenue would be a real revelation, makes one almost long for childhood again for the mere purpose of going back to school. Saturday ago there was formed an organization known as the "Citizen's Council," with the Rev. Samuel A. Mosely, President and Rev. J. L. Cohn, Secretary. We regarded its purposes lofty, at the time because it proposed to guard well the interest of the colored people of the city in an economic, economic and political way. We have noticed that many of those who are planning to run for office in this city and state next year, are getting together their little cliques and klans behind closed doors and laying all of their plans for the coming political campaign. This building is beautiful to the highest degree and as modern and comfortable as modern science can be. There are seven class rooms, with ventilated and attractive, in the building with comfort, adjustable seats, a plentiful supply of light and large blackboard space. We suggest that we get together; it might be that we want to make up a little state and be prepared to announce our candidate just about the time the bosses come forth with theirs. Don't sleep on the job See: There are manual training rooms, well fitted with work benches and boots and a domestic science kitchen, in that would delight any girls there is one large air room in the building fitted with 48 cots, where the children may have regular rest periods during the day, as well as being able to sleep at school the children are fed in the building from a splendidly equipped and immaculately neat modern diet kitchen. Shower baths and dressing rooms are also provided. There are tedious, tiresome stairs for little girls to climb, but the second door is reached by a gentle slope which requires no more effort to walk than a slight rise in a city street. Under the above caption, several thousand hand bills were distributed in the neighborhood of the Stars baseball park. Saturday and Sunday in protest against white umpires as arbiters of the western championship games between the St. Louis Stars and the Kansas City Monarchs. The text of the circular read as follows: The baseball fans protest against the way the owners have treated the Negro umpires. Don't go to Stars Baseball Park. Unfair to Negro umpires. One of the owners made a remark that it made no difference whether they used white or black umpires, we would come to see the boys play just the same. Let us deceive them and stay away! To this school, the children who have any kind of physical defect, but who are normal mentally, may be admitted. It is hard for a child who has a crippled ankle or a stiff knee or any defect of his physical ability to have to push and shove for existence in a school with normal children. In his special school has been constructed for just such as these. Seats that can be moved from place to place on casters and work that can be done at the child's own desk is provided for these children. Every possible aid is given them and provision is being made to call for these children to them to school, and return them to their homes in the evenings. In this way, the many children who were never able to school, because of some physical defect, who will be able to attend every day now. The fans' pride had been wounded, and such demonstrations on the part of the colored people against the whites, show that we are just about as prejudiced against the whites as they are against the colored. "IT'S TATER DIGGIN' TIME IN DIXIE" The above caption was used in an appeal to colored families to go to Mississippi to pick cotton by a "Mr. Williams," from Friars Point, Miss., who was in St. Louis, last week. Many other inducements were offered colored families, such as shipment free, house and fuel free and $1.25 per hundred for jucking cotton. Just about the time this special train arrived at its destination, we imagine that instead of being greeted with "tater diggin' time in Dixie," they were greeted with another familiar term used in the South, which many seem to have forgotten, and that was "Nigger burning time in Mississippi." Those who were beguiled into accepting the free offer, were met by a mob of whites more than thousand Strong, led by Sheriff John W. Roberts celebrating the holiday Sunday by burning one poor innocent Negro in a most harbariic style. Surely the "tater diggin' appeal" is like the story of the spider and the fly. Aside from this, provision been made for children having been diagnosed with them. They will given special, individual effort will be made to preserve strengthen their sight. Instead of writing, they will use typewriters. They will have special books with large print to read and every effort will be made to protect their eyes. There will be classes for children who have difficulty with speech, where they careful training and pains-taking exercises will be aided in overcomer this difficulty. There are three rooms which will be devoted to children who are under-weight and under-nourished. These rooms will have plenty of fresh air all day long. It is these children who will receive special food and have special rest periods to tubercular children will be admitted as the danger these children may suffer. Other children is realized. Only these children who are under-weight and under-nourished are admitted to the open air classes. The work in the class rooms will be of a delightful nature. The rooms will not be graded, there being in each room, persons from all the grade from Kindergarten to fourth child will be given individual instruction according to his individual needs. There will be libraries and sand tables and all the delightful means of making school work interesting will be employed. It is told of one little boy who did not want to go to school and who cried on the first day. It came time to go home he cried more because he did not want to leave this beautiful school. The Charles Henry Turner School is most assuredly a great opportunity and every mother who has a court property belonging in this school should make every possible effort which may be attended to by seeing Miss Mays, acting Principal of the School. If you are not the parent of such a child, please be kind enough to properly belong in the school to tell him, and his parents about it. DR. CROSSLAND SUED Special to The Argus ST. JOSEPH, Mo.—"As a last resort," according to a statement by the plaintiff, "we had to file suit against Dr. Crossland in our effort to collect money we advanced him to save him when a bad check given by him was turned down."

The check was on a Washington D. C. bank and when it was presented for payment, it was returned marked "no funds."

Ward was the second man to go to the whipping post here for this offense within the last few months. He bore his punishment historically. JUDGE INVESTIGATES RE-ARREST OF NEGRO 'Third degree' tactics of the po- lice might go alright in the district station house, but when such ar- guises practised in a court house after a prisoner is released, there needs to be some explaining done. As the results of the re-arrest of Alice Gayer (the arrest of) in 623 North Leonard, Monday in the court building after he had been released on a $1500 bond on a charge of larceny by Judge Gayer of the Court of Criminal Correction, the latter has started an investigation. Judge Gayer had refused detective Sergeant Collins permission to re- view William Gayer's report. The detective stated that he wished to question Collins further. Outside the court room doors Williams alleged Collins not only arrested him, but struck him and refused to tell him the reason for his chastisement. He was held in government for over eight hours. Collins of the release of William Wilms made no mention of striking him and stated the reason for release as insufficient evidence. WINS DAILY ESSAY PRIZE TOLEDO, O., Sept. 23. "What Would I Do With $1,000,000?" This was the title of several hundred essays submitted in the Toledo Blade (white) Contest in which Mrs. Druglia Tandy Porter won the second prize of $25. Her prize winning essay contained sound, clean thought. It read: "What would I do with a million! "Well, I wouldn't be human unless I took about a quarter of that fortune, and saw to the needs and comfort of my family. And that would include for myself a degree from Oberlin College and a chance to make faces at the "Less Expensive Dress Department" and for once, to sit down in a chair and shop in the "French Room." "From force of habit I would save some for a rainy day. But the greatest of all would be—fierce fire." For I am insane, the establishment. ENTIRE COUNTRY GIVES FULL APPROVAL Never in the history of this country has an organization so completely won the confidence of its own city and the entire country as the Peoples Finance Corporation has done. Starting with an idea three years ago, it has now come within so short a period to be recognized, as the largest financial institution among Negroes in the world. Its gross resources now amount to over $800,000 and its stockholders number more than 1,000, which is the largest number of Negroes interested in any financial institution in the world. This big institution's marvelous growth is due to the fact that the men at the head have ever kept in mind—SERVICE and an HONEST and SQUARE DEAL to the public. These have been the fundamental elements of success in every large institution, and they have been the cause of the growth of this company. J. P. Morgan, the world's renown financier, has said: 'There are no short cuts to business success." The Directors believe that steady growth, a square deal, and sure progress are worth everything in the development of a permanent institution.

BUG CAST FOR MOVIE WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — Motion pictures with bugs composing the entire cast have been completed by the cinema laboratory of the department of agriculture. In contrast to the usual production with their heroes and heroes these pictures feature only villains, In one film the calosoma beetle, plays the lead, chasing a gypsy moth, decapitating it and then dragging it to its lair. In other pictures the holl weevil performs on a cotton plant, the clothes moth does its antics on a piece of wool and the bed bug demonstrates its liking for human association by crawling on an attendant. While the acts were being recorded the warble fly developed stage fright and the picture could not be completed, until the performer was reduced to semi-consciousness by chironomform. Temperment also was in evil demons. Bees so objected to being photo graphed that they chased the cameraman into a cellar and the bob weevils insisted upon close-up. Several times the grinding camera has to be stopped while the weevils were extricated from the lenses. Some of the biggest things in your life may have been very small. To ascertain what a trip will cost, multiply your estimate by two. THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO U. S. TO OBSERVE FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 4-10 President Coolidge Asks All Citizens To Unite In Efforts To Combat The Country's Great Menace WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 23 The week beginning Sunday, October 4, has been proclaimed National Fire Prevention week by President Coolidge. All the citizens of the United States are expected to observe National Fire Prevention week. In order to draw to the public's conscience the vast destruction and waste, that is caused by fires in this country each year, and to awaken a stronger spirit of co-operation in the fight against the menace. Up To the Public In observing Fire Prevention Week many public demonstrations will be held. In 'soce cities parades will be held. In every city exercises, poster summits, etc., will be held among the school children. Mass meetings, sessions by the clergy and lectures, are also featured. The text of the President's proclamation follows: Survey of Wastage "The time has come for the annual resurvey of the nation's enormous wastage alike in human life and in property, and for the annual appeal for the lessening of this huge loss. I am informed that during 1924 fires caused the loss of approximately 15,000 lives and of property exceeding $548,000,000 in value. The figures are startling; they are yet more so when it is, added that this is declared by competent authorities the greatest life loss in any year of our history. "This waste results from conditions which justify a sense of shame and horror; for the greater part of it could and ought be prevented. Not only was the 1924 fire loss greater than that of any preceding year, but the loss for the first half of 1925 exceeded that for the life-period of 1924. As a result of careful inquiries, I am informed that whereas the absolute as well as the per capita fire loss of this country tends to increase from year to year the same losses in comparable European countries tend to increase for the most recent comparable, periods fire losses in Great Britain are calculated at less than 5 per capita per annum, while those of the United States are placed at approximately 5 per capita. Comparisons with other European countries are similarly to our discredit. "It is highly desirable that every effort be made to reform the conditions which have made possible so vast a destruction of the national wealth. To this end, for a long time past it has been customary to set aside a week in each year, during which the need of fire prevention may be emphasized. It is important that this practice be continued." Therefore, I. Calvin Coolidge President of the United States, recommend that the week beginning Sunday, October 4, be observed as National Fire Prevention Week. To state and municipal officials, civic organizations, school authorities, and all citizens and organized bodies, I appeal for the fullest co-operation in improving conditions. There is need for earnest study for the principles of fire protection as a practical measures of national economy." HOOSIT? By Robert P. Edwards Associated Negro Press in 24.

Negro Schools To Study, In French, The Story Of Toussaint L'Ouverture Dr. G. R. Simpson has done the race a great favor in editing for school purposes. *Gregory Lacee's biography of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the Negro soldier, statesman, and marryt of Haiti.* Here we have a valuable book subscribing a double purpose. It facilitates the study of a foreign language by presenting matter of immediate interest to the Negro student. At the same time it supplies him with valuable information about one of the greatest figures in history regardless of color. This book, then, meets a long felt need for what stimulus can there come to a Negro student of French when he reads the deeds of Louis la Fayette. Negro student of history if he is to restrict him self altogether to the study of Causse, Napoleon, and Gladstone? In this story, however, one will not find propaganda. It is merely the narrative of the unusual feuds of an exceptional man. With little opportunity for development, the hero of the story made himself a leader of men. Against tremendous odds, he hurled his ill-clipped soldiers at the military forces of France, representing the broadest blood of Europe. He humiliated latently defended these Frenchmen, and laid the foundation of an independent republic. No story is more fascinating than this. Few writers have written a narrative as gripping as this of Toussaint L'Ouverture—the warrior. The St. Louis Argus ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1925 the hero, the savior of his country. To appreciate the worth of this man and the importance of drawing upon his career for impressive lessons to develop the character of the Negro youth, one cannot do better than bear in mind these words of Wendell Phillips: "I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken oaths and a sea of blood. This man never broke his word. No Retaliation' was his great motto and the rule of his life; and the last words uttered to his son in France were these: 'My boy, you will one day go back to San Domingo; forget that France murdered your father.' I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he founded went down with him into his grave; I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves. This man risked his empire rather than permit the slave trade in the humble villages of his dominions. Fifty years before, what they gets a boating, the muse of history will put Phionis for the Greeks, Brutus for the Romans, Hampton for England, Fayette for France, chooses Washington as the bright conglomerate flower of our earlier civilization, and John Brown as the ripe fruit of our moon-day; then, dipping his pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint L'Overture." The book is well printed and neatly bound. It contain a useful map on Haiti. It has a number of exercises for composition and conversation in French and also a useful vocabulary.

CITIZENS MORE THRIFTY BANK ACCOUNTS SHOW WASHINGTON, Sept. 22—Americans are becoming thirstier and thinner—all waltings about "sundriftrift America" notwithstanding. Figures made public Thursday by the federal reserve board prove it they disclosed that in 1962 principal banks August 1 saving accounts amounted to 7,983 million dollars, a gain of more than 1.2 billion dollars over August 1, 1921, or nearly 85 for every man, woman and child in the country. The figures disclosed, however, a iron of about 275 million dollars from the previous month's figures, but board officials attributed this to the fact that July is vacation month, and estimated that 50 per cent of the withdrawals were made for vacation purpose, according to an interesting insight into the annual American vacation bill. The American people for surplus all other peoples in their savings according to figures compiled by the reserve board. NEW ORLEANS, La. Sept. 23.

Efforts are being made by the District Attorney and postoffice officials to trace the source of a K. K. K. letter bearing a threat to do harm. The message was addressed to Samuel E. Browne and his family, who have tenuously held to their home at 67 Fairview avenue, Castleton Hill, Staten Island, in spite of the efforts of whites to compel them to leave. The letter declared that the plan would intercept in the move to oust the Brownes, and that some of the organization's effective methods in handling Negro would be used. It called the black's protection a huge joke and stated that nothing would interfere with the punishings of Browne and stated that the letter was signed with three 9K letters. COLORED MAN POSSESSOR OF A PRICELESS RELIC PROVIDENCE, R. L., Sept. 23—A colored citizen, Victor D. Chambers of 195 Caddo street. Providence, is the possessor of a previous antique. It is a scarf which was given to his grandmother by the Marquettes of Lafayette 100 years ago. The scarf is of the finest figure and hand woven. It is 7 feet 6 inches long and 18 inches wide and has a hambone fringe. Marquettes of Lafayette presented the scarf to Chamber's grandmother as an expression of appreciation for her service "OLD BILL" AT 57 IS THE OLDEST HORSE IN WORLD NEW YORK, Sept. 21. The "oldest horse in the world" was discovered Monday on an obscure little farm in Harmony township, Warren County, eight miles from Washington, N. J. It is "Old Bill" reputed by his owner to be 57 years old, and still in harness. If this figure be correct, and Mr. Sonder produces data to prove it, "Old Bill" has surpassed the record of "Old Clover," the race horse that died in May, 1924, at the age of 53. "Old Clover" spent his declining years before a "Old Clover." But "Old Bill" the latest genuine Methyldex expects no such easy life. His life has been one of toll and he expects to continue in it until his death. Although "Old Clover" spent his remaining years traveling first class about the country, "Old Bill" continues to do farm work, and is kicking with all the gusto of a much younger horse. URGED TO GROW FEEDSTUFFS Associated Negro Press; KALLEGH, N. C., Sept. 23.

A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE NAT'L CONVENTION EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE NAT'L CONVENTION To Be Held At Baltimore On Oct. 7, 8, 9. Churches And Societies Asked To Join In One Big "Kick" Against Many Injustices Suffered By The Race BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 21—The Equal Rights League has just issued a formal call for the annual convention, which is to be held at Baltimore, Md., early in October. The call indicates that the need of the convention is greater this year than ever before, because of the continual rising tide of color prejudice which threatens our very existence in this country. Text of the Call To Fellow Members and all Fellow Americans of Color. Americans in color "The fall of this year of our Lord 1925, finds Americans of African descent still unprotected by our federal government from the lynching mob, not vouchsafed political rights. In fact in the South nor civil rights in the District of Columbia, and in the National Capitol building it finds us still subjected to racial discrimination, injustice and elimination in the Civil service, as also in the army and navy schools and service ever under Republican administrations. "Even in an era mening stands out the alliance of positive color segregation of government employees in the Executive Department of Federal government even whole Colored segregated sections, a special low status for race." "Very wide-spread—and naturally so under such a governmental example—has become color discrimination and, deprivation, with other consequent small-treatments and molestations. The white American movement to create a color caste; the only public case in America, is making holiday. To an alarming extent we are being singled out alone from all the many races of Americans for public segregation in education, transportation, places for service and accommodation and in industry. This ostracism threatens to make of us the only American civic outcasts. Public concern results, and denial of livelihood. Colored America, thus dangerously circumstanced, a race 15 million strong, in possession of education, of churches, businesses, property and money reaching into billions, the National Ethical Rights League calls its manifest duty, that of doing what every other oppressed class which won relief has done, to assemble in national convention to consider ways, means and method of action on its account, initiative and conception to combat these menacing wrongs. "Who would be free, themselves must, strike a blow." The world today and in history respects even oppressed races who, however otherwise aided, through self-respect and power conduct some light of their own. "Therefore and hereby this League, which expressed admiration for all of the race who did otherwise while at its last annual meeting, advising the race to nationally support Republicans, invites all, at its 18th Annual Meeting one year after, in the Trinity Baptist Church, Druid Hall-Avenue and McMeench streets, Baltimore, Rev. Luke D. Reynolds, pastor, October 7.9.1925 close to the seat of the Federal government, to assemble in an open National Race Mass Convention, there to be held by it, for a general racial Get-Together on where we are at, and what we as a great race should ourselves say and do in organized resistance, as one asset of relief added to any and all other forms. "Come one and all to racial conference; as far as possible let all racial hotlist religious, fraternal, literary, civic, civil rights, send delegates, and especially let there be delegates sent by the general Colored citizen in every place, through meetings called by Citizens' Committees, by Equal Rights Committees, or Equal Rights League, braches, even ones newly formed for this object. "Any desired particulars can be attained from the corresponding secretary, Wm. Monroe Trotter, 9 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. Sincerely for Equality for my race, Wm. A. SINCLAIR, President." Associated Negro Press CHESTERFIELD, S. C., Sept. 23.—When Ernest Diggs and Henry Robinson, 15, were on the chain gang together, Diggs made a deal with Robinson, whose term expired first, to go to his home and take care of the crop until he, Diggs, should be released. Robinson did this. Later, when Diggs was released and came to the farm, it became difficult for him and Robinson to agree. The latter was telling some of the hands on the farm of his treatment from Diggs when the latter came up from behind and struck him across the head with the leg of a chair. Robinson died. Diggs has been arrested and is being held on a murder charge. See Waltlock for special pipe fitting and plumbing work.

Western New York Uniform) GOLDEN TEXT—Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye have, my not yet believing ye rejoice with me, my not believing and full of glory—I Peter 1:18. PRIMARY TOPIC - Paul's Love for His Historic Topic - Paul's Best Wishes for His People INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - How the Gospel Spread. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC - The Power of the Gospel. The method of review must always be determined largely by the genius of the teacher and the condition of the class. For this review, two methods are suggested: 1. The Biographical. This can be used in all the grades except, perhaps, the beginners. Where and怎样 presented, living, active personalities appeal to the heart and linguation of all ages. Among the interesting characters appear Paul, Luke, Silas, Timothy, Barnabas, Mark, Lydia, the Philippian jailer, James and the slave girl at Philipp. These characters can be assigned to the members of the class the preceding week. 2. The Summary Method. This involves the presentation of the salient points, and the central outstanding message of each lesson. The following suggestions are offered: July 6. The sending forth of Paul and Barbahas marked the beginning of foreign missions as the deliberately planned enterprise of the church. The Holy Spirit selected and sent out these missionaries, showing that the true method of world evangelization is to have spirit-sent men to preach the gospel. July 12. The grand theme of Paul's preaching was justification by faith. Those who receive 'Christ as their Saviour are freely justified from all things. Jesus took the place of the sinner that the sinner might have His place (II Cor. 5:21). This is the missionary message for all times. July 19. At Lystra Paul and Barnabus "so preached the gospel that a great multitude believed." Only that which brings conviction of sin and induces belief in Christ can be said to be preaching in the biblical sense. July 26. Receiving the Gentiles on the simple condition of faith in Christ provoked a spirit of controversy in the church. Through Christ, the middle wall of partition was broken down so that in this dispensation God makes no distinction between Jew and Gentile. August 2. James shows to the Jewish believers suffered through who were missing through store trials and persecutions, that true religion was to receive with meekness the engranted Word, and give a self-restrained, oneselfish life, ridging the tongue, helping those, in need, and keeping unspotted from the world. August 9. Because of differences of opinion over John Mark, Paul and Barnabas separated. God overruled their contention to the wider dissentation of the gospel. August 16. The believer has been born twice, of the flesh and of the Spirit. A mortal conflict goes on within him. The Christian's victory over the flesh is by yielding to the Holy Spirit, who dwells within. August 23. On the second missionary journey Paul attempted to preach in Asia Minor, but the Holy Spirit shut the doors against him. At Treas he had the explanation in the vision of a man from Macedonia calling him to preach the gospel in Europe. Divine guidance is as truly through closed doors as through open doors. August 30. Because of the casting out of an evil spirit from a slave girl in Philipp, Paul and Silas were imprisoned. As they were singing God's praises in the jail, God miraculously delivered them. September 6. To be in Christ is to have gain above the best things in the world. Those who are in Christ will have His mind, and therefore will press towards the goal. September 13 Though unseafishly preaching the Word of God, Paul was hated and persecuted by the Jews. September 20. Because Paul had experienced the life in Christ, and knew whom he had believed, he with undaunted courage went about preaching the gospel. Read the Bible Do you want to bear God speak to you?

Do not stay away. You need the services and the church needs you. The fire of God will not consume a sacrifice which is not on the altar. Most of the coal is in the church cellar and, frankly, we have not been using it during September. But let us pay the bill which will be due next day after the Rally. The copper valleys on the roof need repairing, some glazing is necessary, the organ motor is on a strike for attention from an electrician and the fire and wind storm insurance are due. You know of other needs. What will be your response. Our Benevolence Judges is twice as large as last years. Pestytery is putting more responsibility upon which is a compliment. Stewardship is the battle cry of our great Church throughout the world today. What is it? Stewardship is the job of time management of all one possesses, the strength, strength, personality, personality to do fully all that God planned for each life. Have you a life purpose? Livingstone's sent him to Africa Compare yours with this: David Livingstone's: "I will place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in its relation to the Kingdom of Christ. If anything I have will advance the interest of that Kingdom it shall be given up or kept, as by keeping or giving it I shall most promote the glory of Him to whom I owe all my hopes, both of time and eternity. May grace be given me to adhere to this." A better amoent and the Master's readiness in 1883. While writing this, Mr. Robert Dixon phones that Mrs. Dixon was operated at Barnes Hospital yesterday and is in serious condition. Week before last her strenuous work for the Holly was erased. May she be spared to see her heart's desire. SCRUGGS MEMORIAL C. M. E. Spring and Cook Aves. Bishop R. A. Carter, one of the greatest orators in the country, will proach in 11 o'clock Sunday morning.

Evans closed a series of sermons on "Evolution," which crowded Lane Tabernacle beyond capacity. If "Evolution" was an engrossing subject, and it certainly was, the coming series which begins Sunday morning promises to collapse even that entertaining subject. Oddly enough, the general subject is given in a few simple words, "Why I am a Christian." That simple subject can be made a query which any one might be asked, and which any one might not be prepared to answer intelligently. But it will be delightful to hear Rev. Erns, pastor of Lake Taberna, interpret this screaming question in his masterly way. The first chapter will be presented Sunday morning at eleven o'clock. The Literary Society has begun its fall and winter preperation with a first Monday night. Rev. Samuel Johnson spoke on "Some Things About Education," and Mrs. Elia Hiwell叫 "The Missionary Question."

It is hoped that each club will be fully represented. Come and worship with us you are welcome. Ed crittenden. Reporter. LIBERTY CONGREGATIONAL In a brief but very informing discussion last Sunday, Rev Stanley gave an outline of the principles of the Congregational Church in America. As a self-governing body, each individual church represents in the fullest a typical democracy. Its fundamental principles are a belief in freedom and toleration. The individual is his own librarian. It has a personal interest in its fellowship. Its regional conferences are inspirational rather than legislative in purpose. To build our church with its larger life we must have a prayer life, intense Bible study and we must work. ROSE OF SHARON BAPTIST 1719 Morgan, St. Sunday school was well attended.

When space will not permit or the subject is not suitable, letters will be personally answered, subject to proper limitations, and when a stamped envelope is enclosed. Address all communications to George Wells Parker, the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Copyright, 1925, by Associated Negro Press. Was Judy P. Benjamin a Negro or a Jew and where will I find her record? D. D. D. Chater, S. C. The subject Was not a "her" but a "him". The correct name was Jidhali B. Benjamin, a Jew, and one time U. S. Seminar from South Carolina. He took leading part in the Conspiracy. How many Negro papers have we on the same names? 6 Minis. About 125. The Negro New Book by Monroe Worry of Trask goes, gives a fairly accurate list. What was the nationality of Simon who carried the crusis of destiny? What was the name of King David's mother? Who was the federal people the only seed of Abraham? (11) Shimite was a Covenant and of Negro descent. (12) Do not know his father was Jesus. (13) The Jew, Abraham, to be the seed of Abraham. Abraham was a Chieftain of Chaldean, was the reputed father of many of the tribes of Asia, many of their of Negro descent. Being a Chieftain, he was himself a Negro. How many Negro millionaires in the United States? A. J. Philadelphian Pa. None that I know of. Some are regarded to be, but know of no dat that specifies their income. Have heard of none whose names appear in the tax records with fortunes, that approximate a million. Did Abraham Lincoln fight any slave cases before he became President? G. G. L. Detroit, Mich. One of his first cases was that of Black Nance," whose case he fought and wared. She was an escaped slave. Was the hei? Persus a Negro? B. R. T. Los Angeles. Persus was of African descent.

She will be glad to answer in this column all questions of a reasonable length. When space will not permit, she will answer correspondents who enclose postage for a return reply. Questions for her should be addressed to Mme. Katherine Wilson, 3423 Indiana Ave., The Associated Negro Press, Chicago, Ill. Miss Canada: A short, time ago we carried in these columns a lengthy exhibition of the eradication of super-boss hair. I will state again that there is only one sure way of removing it. You must seek the services of an expert in electrolysis. I am sure that there is one in your town. The application of the electricity to the coat of the hair kills all growth and is permanent. This method is expensive and a little painful but worth white in the end. Degilitaries remove the hair but the effect is only temporary and the hair is gone back with many more than ever. Mrs. P. S. P. Mother lady from cold Canada. It is hard to realize that you should take as much interest in our papers as your sisters in the States. There is no doubt that your sudden change from the balmy climate of St. Louis to the long waters and little sunlight or Albera is impossible for the deterioration or what has once a burrowing growth of here. Hair specialists claim that the reason that there are so many baldhead of men is because they keep their heads covered most of the time and from the lack of air and sunlight. The hair is killed just as the grass would be killed if covered with a blender. Likewise that you keep your hair clobber by getting an expert shampoo every two weeks. A hot oil off treatment should be applied at least once weekly; and you should massage your hair thoroughly each day with your finger tips. These treatments will eliminate the excessive dandruff and the hot oils and massage will restore the circulation. If you will follow these instructions for the letter and expose your hair to the sunlight whenever possible, your hair will take on new life in a very short time. Miss Chiang. We soldm resort to caregivers in this column. You will quite sure that if you write to Alice Kelly, director of the Madbury, C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company, or to the Macrotherm chemist, they will immediately send you their formula for making cold cream. Can you buy it, and she lives in Chicago, too? A Sure Thing Aviator. Of course, not. You look much more like a little girl—Exc change. You can't tell how hard a man is working by the noise he makes. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 25, 1925 Henry Lincoln Johnson, The Statesman For The Associated Negro Press Henry Lincoln Johnson has gone to his fathers. To his titles, add another: STATESMAN. The late Thomas B. Reed of the United States Congress, once gave this definition of a statesman: "A statesman is a successful politician who has died." Would you name, another more entitled to this definition than Johnson? Johnson was a super-politician; therefore he is entitled to be known as a super-statesman. He did all he did with the odds of prejudice, jealousy, enemies, and financial limitations against him. Had the South been fair in elections, he would have been no less than a United States Senator, which position he would have graced with culture and dignity far more fitting than many the great South has stolen into that body. Johnson was loyal to his friends and they were loyal to him. He had personal magnetism and friendly charm to such a degree that the masses' who knew him best, not 'only loved him, but well nigh worshipped him. This was eminently true in his native state of Georgia. There his followers backed him up at every turn; there they sought him followed him about with such abounding faith as to make him more than their leader—he was the hero. Henry Lincoln Johnson was always equal to the occasion. He was resourceful, talented, tactful, and cunning. He knew the weaknesses of whites, and the possibilities of his own people. I have seen him in the presence of the best white minds of America, and I have seen him not only their equal, but their master. He could be as gentle as a lamb, or he could roar like a lion, as necessity demanded. He could be as eloquent as Demosthenes, or he could be as blunt as Hen Tillman. Johnson was a man of unusual culture and learning. A graduate of Atlanta University and the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, he was always a student. He was a lawyer of renown, and won many famous cases, civil and criminal, but his great passion was politics. He might have died very wealthy, had he been miserly or commercial. But he was neither. He has made fortunes in fees, only to quietly expend them in bringing relief to his less fortunate friends. One of the most beautiful lessons of his career was his love and devotion for his family, Mrs. Georgia Douglass Johnson, his wife, a woman of refinement and letters; his two sons, Lincoln Jr., and Peter, were the inspiration of his life. He loved to prepare a meal with his own hands, for his friends in his home. The Glow in his eyes was touching, when he pulled from his pocket a letter from the boys away at school and read it with poetic tenderness. Johnson was at his best in the presence of his friends. "I don't like to be alone," he told me frankly on one occasion. He had a memory for details, of events, locations, and of people, that was truly marvelous. He knew every foot of ground in Georgia, and all the white and colored people who made up the population for generations back. Name a family from Georgia, and he would do the rest in family connections, geography and achievements. As "good company" on a long journey, walking, automobile or train, or in the club or hotel, or a chance meeting on the street, there was none to surpass him. He was witty, philosophical and broad of vision. He was ever abreast of current events, and could quote from the classics with indifferent ease. Henry Lincoln Johnson was a great Republican in a period when republicanism has tried men's souls. He has been a definite factor in making and unmaking Presidents. J. Finley Wilson. Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, could well devote much of his time in establishing a permanent monument to the memory of this statisman. It was the saga. clous and persistent leadership of Johnson, aided by Special Assistant Attorney General Perry W. Howard, that made Wilson Exalted Ruler for the first time in Newark, N. J.; it was in Richmond, Va., last month that the same leadership returned Wilson to office for the fourth time. This last struggle, in his physical condition as many of us knew him of recent years, was too much for the old warrior. And yet he was game, as always. The heart strings snapped. We have produced another statesman. Colortul News "Movies" By The Cameraman For Preston News Service These September morns are witnessing the annual event of the opening of school. More Negro children, middlers, grown-ups and elderly folks will cross some class room door still during the 24-hour day of the 1925 1926 school period than ever before. The way from the little school house on the hill to the great university of the world. Just yesterday a Negro physician, whom we interviewed, had abandoned his practice in South Carolina and was on route to the University of Edinburgh where he will study intricate surgery for several years. His place in South Carolina will be rapidly filled by some youthful graduates of Howard, Mehury, or some outstanding northern university. And as John P. Davis, the Bates College orator, returns from his European trilogy as a debater, dozens of other youths with latent talent will begin the slow course of preparation for the batee of brains a decade hence, which will doubtless unfold even a greater proportion of Negro scholars hit for world recognition. What should the interracial transition from ignorance to knowledge mean to the world at large and to the Negro group entity? To the former it should mean that this dark tenth content will not, cannot permanently be denied a man's place in Art, Science, History, Music and Religion as well as in the trades and industries. A President of the United States once said of a down-trodden group; "These people have by force and ability pushed their heads and shoulders through the tough top crust, and I will not be a party to any movement to keep them down or make their way more difficult. Let them rise!" To the Negro, the past decade, demonstrations of educational efficiency mean confidence, self-reliance, independence and the ultimate enunciation from bigotry. They mean a greater sympathy for the weaknesses of the contra-group, and a stronger determination to help that group purge itself of the alley of race hatred. The school bell is ringing for the ambitious Negro all the way from the humble trade school to the operating room where a Caesarian section is being performed. And while this harbinger of knowledge is silent for the Negro at West Point and Amphipolis, the other schools are grinding out graduates who are swelling the mighty ranks whose numbers are pledged to the pleasurable duty of throwing off intolerant and making Negro educationya. Negro life, universally acknowledged, respected and declaimed as one of the chief cornerstones of the builders of American democracy and civilization. Negroes and Strikes— Strikes soldom edi anyone much good, and where Negas are involved, that group usually suffers the greatest hardships of the vexatious turnover between Capital and Labor. This bitter truth is due to the fact that Negro labor has only its head under the tent of organized labor, and is consequently狱 both from within and from without. When the Western Kentucky coal strike was declared, more than a year ago, Negro union miners, although in a mixed local, were the first to meet with difficulties and the last to emerge therefrom. When colored girls were smilingly employed during the war by Chicago manufacturers, they were harshly dismissed the very instant white girls were available. Chester, Pac and East St. Louis, Ill. are still fresh in the minds of Negroes who remember the sytchete of their labor group at those points during the terrible contraversies between Capital and Labor. Future organization, so far as the Negro is concerned, canned as it has been in the past, half hearted. Either it must be of the one hundred per cent type or not at all, leaving the Negro free to bargain away his swarthy muscles and active brain under his own direction. Either the Negro must be given full protection, in and out of strike periods, or he must be left alone, free to work when and where he wishes and subject to strike only when he himself so decides. The anthracite coal fields now under strike have been a closed corporation to Negro labor, while the bituminous field has been open to him upon fairly good terms. The South Carbon field of West Virginia was one of the most prosperous, healthful fields in the country, and the same can be said as to the Western Kentucky fields filled with happy Negro miners up until the time they were ordered to strike. As between Capital and Labor, the Negro has ever been a rubber ball, being batted from one group to the other, as might suit convenience. With potential strength in numbers and proportion, Negro labor could happily deal with either Capital or Labor, or with both, were it to him a one hundred per cent square deal attitude. Heretofore, however, strikes as directed by others, have been disactors to Negro labor, whether an actor therein or a breaker thereof. And past experiences are clear enough, we think, to convince the Negro working group that until others enforce an honest-to-goodness interest in his work welfare, it is up to him to grant, bar gain and sell his productive worth up on a plan which will safeguard his work welfare, both in opportunities for profitable employment and in the peaceful participation therein, void of riots, starvation, and other disasters with which his work history so pathetically abounds. Camp Meetin' Over— "The weary ploughman homeward wends his way: Leaving the world to darkness and to me" (From: Gray's Elegy) Now that the Elks, the Eagles, the Masons and the Knights have wended the hee-way homeward, where they may face, at least, a temporary shortage of bread, butter and coal, which were prematurely exchanged for excursion tickets, gasoline and circular Goodyear rubber, the fraternal brethren may well, in the few months which precede the homecoming of Mr. Winter and his hearty children, Snow, Ice and Gold, take inventory of their stock and see what's what and why. In the first place, bought brotherhood is somewhat like asiosetos, which gets red hot in a minute and cools just as quickly. The social hour, when a brother would swim the English channel - for his brother, yields over night to the cold undeniable necessity of helping out with the rent or taking care of the insurance collector. The huzzahs of Camp Meitin' which are barren of the fine fellowship so previously precarious. In other words, we are slightly inclined to be pessimistic over the expended gusto, pump and energy, to say nothing of the dollars and dimes, all of which might have been diverted to a great human brotherhood, or to Education, Industry, or Science. The humble writer thinks—and he is both a "Nod Follow" and a "Nelk"—that fraternal gatherings should first promote some great constructive project having as its aim racial endeavor and welfare, rather than a magnetical social session, following which there are naught but embers of what might have been. The Elks announce the establishment of a bureau of Education to foster and promote educational facilities of the race. This project, if consummated, will bloom into concrete results of far-reaching worth. Similar efforts along the lines of business, race fellowship, land development, and the like, we think, would do much to fade the darkness which enshrouds a struggling race. Fraternalism, in seems to us means more than the lodge room grasp and the mystic symbols of secret egesis. Out in the open world it means the furtherance of those things upon which the development of a nation depends. Nor are its objectives confined to the burial of the dead and the care of the sick. They strike down into every element of Christian advancement, supplemented by the necessities of a happy life and a contented populace for those without as well as those within. With Klansman as paliseyers, says the white press, the funeral of Samuel Obrey, a West Virginia Negro miner, was recently conducted at Roderheld, near Welch. The report continues by saying that as the coffin was placed in a hearse to be taken to the cemetery, a Ku Klux Klan meeting, held in rooms over the undertaking establishment, was dismissed. Noting the absence of maurers, several klansmen boarded the hearse, while others fell in behind and marched to the cemetery, where they lifted the coffin from the hearse and lowered it into the ground. Each klansman stood in silence while the funeral rites were concluded. Just prior to this opeal event in a Klan preacher, during its Washington D.C. festival, had advocated a Jim Crow car law for the District of Columbia, and a few days later, to the writer's personal knowledge, distaste for local Negroes had been manifested in the vicinity of a local Klan meeting. All of which points the fingers of curiosity at the multifarious nets of an organization which is so outspoken in its ideals. What pray, is the motive of the Klan when it tenders a purse to a Negro church or designates pallbearers for attendance at a Negro funeral? Is it the attitude of throwing a dog a bone, or is it to try to veneer the true nests of this modern knighthood organization? In case of the latter, the announcements of the Klan literature too plainly bespoke their estimate of a large proportion of our American constituency; and if it is the former, church purses and sympathies for the dead might more consistently be tendered to those whose idealistic alliances are more in harmony with the Klan than are those of their colored brethren. Altogether, the queer cappers of the Klan indicate that realizing its axis if supporting naught, but a lost world, it is swimming hither and thither searching for straws by which its crown might be preserved a few months longer; for it was long ago evident that the modern world has no permanent place for such a curious anomaly, and that the last two-thirds of its titulat—"Here yesterday, here today, here tomorrow," may soon be wiped out. And when the time for those obsequies arrives, we'll gladly furnish some of the patheaters, leaving a similar honor to the Jews, Catholics and aliens. Move! But Where? How? Mr. merely because of prejudice, a Negro tenant can be made to move out of a city block, upon that same theory he can be made to move out of that city, out of that state, out of that country, leaving naught but debris of that time-honored principle that a man's home is his castle. Visionary though it may seem, this is just exactly what could eventually happen to everyone-one of us who, like Samuel A. Browne, of Staten Island, N. Y., or Harry T. Pratt of Baltimore, Md., as well as countless others, might seek to establish homes in accordance with the individual tastes and desires of a man's own choice. This type of prejudice, just like the bootlegging game, laughs at both law and all the ethics of intelligent society. Even as we go to press word comes from Detroit of another race riot, "caused says the United (white) Press" by the moving of a Negro family into a white neighborhood.

But should Browne move, who can say but that he, and you and I might in years hence be asked to quit the only soil we've ever known, in order to appease the sacredness of the white man's world, as prescribed by the bigots and the "bourgeois" of America. This home problem of the Negro who seeks to select his own homesite is the "Gettysburg" of the race's social endeavor; and like the Gettysburgh of Abraham Lincoln's time goes to the heart of the American question of whether a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal can long enure. The Negro of America has lived and endured too long here could America's joys and sorrows from Gettysburg to Flanders Field to now be pushed and kicked out of the block, out of the city, out of the state and out of the country. There must be a storing-off place, somewhere; and it might as well be in the block. Otherwise, the Pacific or the Atlantic oceans seem to be the safety zone of our ultimate destination. Hence, it appears to be our more not to move and this goes for Staten Island, Baltimore, Detroit and any other localities whose guardians are too holy to observe the simple sacredness of a as a tribute to intelligence and the lessons of civilization. Let us exhaust our resources to uphold Lincoln's Gettysburg philosophies, lest one, instead of all, of the people prescribe the rules of Government and the boundary lines of homes. Henry Lincoln Johnson— The inimitable Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committee man from Georgia, and gladiator, for decade after decade, in the arena of national, racial and interracial politics, has answered his Master's call and left this sordid world for the peace that knows no ending. "Line" as he was popularly known, by both friend and foe, was a political character, the nuptial of whose counterpart has been lost, amid these years of political strife. A gifted orator, a keen logician, an analyzer of men, and a man of uncanny foresight, Colonel Johnson was one of the most picturesque figures Negro political and professional life has ever had. As a champion of the cause of the meek and lowly, either in or out of court, the deceased Georgian had but few equals; and as a consoler of the troubled, "Line" was loved the country over by those whom he had so often shown the silver lining of their clouds. No one can forget the sturdy battles Colonel Johnson fought innumerable times; nor are the impregnable defenses which he placed in the pathways of his opponents easily possible of imitation by any one who may seek to doom his mantle. His parries with Segate Committees and with other侵略ists from the country's brightest minds will long be remembered by both his admirers and his critics. The Colonel died with his boots on, following one of his characteristically strenuous campaigns in behalf of his friends, and the chair which once held his massive frame is draped in mourning for its departed host whom none is worthy to succeed, at this time, so far as we can scan. He goes from a life of useful service, unselfishly given, to the reward of an unknown world, which, sooner or later, we all must enter. The valiant Georgian lived his life for his friends, his Race and his Party. Strong, determined, fearless, always cheerful and never too weary to put his shoulders to the wheel whirl turned. Night and Justice onward. Henry Jünglin Johnson willinger long in the memories of those who knew him and who were thoughtful enough to appreciate the fact that his useful career was one of complete sacrifice. That his soul may rest in peace is our ardent prayer; and the boots he left behind may some distant day be filled by some other equally valiant and vigorous patron, who, like the Colonel, will press forward seeking our second emancipation from the age of racial misrepresentation, is our sincere hope. Hotel Life in America Without trying to rival Sir William Blackstone in his definition of public bans and the duties, which inkeepers owe to their guests, we would modestly state, and with all kindliness and sympathy toward the struggling hotel keepers of our own blood, that a public hostelry obviously solicits business, and in accepting trade holds itself forth to tender at least ordinary care of its guests, together with bag aid baggage. In recounting our experiences at race hotels such as the Olaq, New York; Roadside, Philadelphia; Smith's Ballmore; Vincennes, Chicago; Dumas, New York; Majestic, White law; Washington; Millers, Richmond; Walnut, Lofthillville; Litchfield, Columbus; Travelers, Bluefield, W. Va.; Royal Glover's, Washington; DuPont, Detroit; and not a few additional hostilities, we recall many pleasant hours spent away from Home. Sweet Home, which were inden with smiles and filled with the attitude of efficient service. However, we suppose it takes a little rain with the sunshine, and with equal wildness we recall a few happy moments of disservice and the feeling that a great favor was being done by permitting us to deposit our weary bones on a hotel cot, to say nothing of prohibitive ice water and other luxuries in the way of comforts which most hotel keepers provide, at least upon the promise of a healthy tip. We realize, of course that the hotel is a semi-new event in the life of the coloured traveling man, who, heretofore, was looking to be able to secure lodging in Sister Smith's or Broffler Jim's folding bed. Yet, if the time has come—and they say it has—when a globe-troter can wire ahead for reservations at the black Ritz Carlton or the Little Hotel Starz, then let him go forward comforted and consoled by the knowledge that service and smiles rather than the "I-am-doing-you-a-favor" attitude shall ordnance the imkeeper, who realizes that he is catering to public business, seeking its dollars and dimes, and presuming to give in exchange therefor ordinary care and courtesy, both of which usually have a smile for a prelude. Thus, hotelkeepers, like their brother business men, must realize that the patron list is growing in knowledge of their needs, and in catering to the same must become imbued with the wholesome spirit of hospitality, minus some of the austerity which now begets their ranks. "Oh. I see by the 'purpurs' that Honest Dean Kelly Miller is about to assume the role of 'Publicity' man for the Howard Propaganda Committee. Well, at least, Kelly's had the experience.
